Community Insight:
The servers have been down for like two days now the game wont load please fix it asap!!! Its the only game we play amazing game 10 out of 10 for people who havent played it.
It is a fun game but wants you to spend money or share it on Facebook which we dont like but there are zero ads so far.
Havent played in years , thought Id take a look and see what was going on in the game, so far so good.
We remember playing this game years ago and we finally remembered what it was called. We downloaded it But does anyone still play it? It seems dead and when we try to purchase anything on the game it wont let us. Its not how we remember it.
After getting stronger and stronger throughout the game, it wont let you login. Dont use money on this game.
By far one of the funnest games we ever played. Biggest Downsides is not many play it anymore. 2nd is hero rolls in portal. We started back up our mini acct becsuse we lost our big account when our Fb got Hacked and we have done the cheaper 2700 10 hero roll and only got the wolf(1 epic!!!)on the first 10 roll. 2nd 10 roll we got easily 4 derryds and mainly greens snd blues so thats infuriating. 3rd is we havent been able to log in for 3 days do maybe its dead fir good.:( M.M.C.G.A.( make monster castle great again).
We like everything in this game, heroes and troops are all cool. The upgrades are totally awesome. Very nice game.
See we know people who see our rating will say u were paid for this REEEEE! No we wasnt this is a genuinely good game people just dont have patience its not pay to win just get good scrub.
As of currently, we can not login into our account, every time we do try, we will get stuck on a screen where it will say verifying account before this glitch, the game was pretty solid, had a good concept and we overall enjoyed playing it. But until the bug gets fixed, we cant play anymore.
We first started playing this game when we had a windows phone. We recently downloaded this game again when memories of it popped in our head. We played for about two days and now the app just wont open.. We wanna keep playing but nothing we do will let us. This game is so fun. We just wish we could play it.
We like the game but it crashes everytime we try to open it.
Please fix bug, when logging in the game crashes.
Literally crashes every time we try to open it.
We cant get in the game once we get in the game it takes us to the screen and then immediately logged us out it happening to other people just fix it.
No support new iPad Pro and unable to load in to the game.
Game won't let us play it keeps closing out.
We really do enjoy this game, but once you get to the higher levels, it starts to not let you into the game anymore. We wrote the company at the email provided in the App Store and get no response. Do NOT do any app purchases, we just did some last week when we were able to get in the game and even though we are no longer able to get into the game and use it there is no refund.
Just bought 99 cents of crystals and we never got it.
We like the game, we got ranked pretty high so far but when we try to upgrade the tech on the cannon the game freezes and we have to restart.
The game is awesome but we cant find anyone to attack thatll give us medals we keep finding level 2 players with nothing worth raiding Im currently level 16 we just want to rank up.
Played this since the beginning. Had a lot going for it, and it didnt require real money purchases to level. It all went down hill when the company went through a transition, and the game was ignored for over a year with zero new content. Now that the game has a new owner, everything, and we mean EVERYTHING, reset. Our epic heros are all gone, and our castle is back at level 1. No thanks! We deleted the game and lost some fun alliance players. Dont waste your time with this game.
Pay to play- it used to be a good game. But now you have to pay for everything to get anywhere.
Hey we just want to tell yall that you should switch the game from 2D to 3D.Thanks for reading this.
We don't even know why this game is rated 9+, the vampires wear bikinis. This game is HORRIBLE. Not creative at all.
We really like the play through. Some things need to be fixed but what game doesn't.
Loads of fun just hate that u have to wait forever for things to upgrade.
Very eventful and full of fun, this game is great for that sort of builder custom strategic battle game, decent graphics and we always like to try the other side ( being the orcs and monsters). We give a good review for the game all and all.
The 3D effect while loading is cool the campaign is amazing and we're still going on.
We like the transitioning and function. It's also a fun game.
A lot of different things to do. Love a good game that incorporates a currency system, upgrades, and strategy.
So far is legit. We like the concept and execution is perfect.
Fun,but to upgrade takes forever..seems all games now just want you to spend $$.
This game is amazing! But definitely be ready to spend some money or it's going to take you forever to get where you want to be. You literally hit a wall that to be able to get the resources you want you have to spend money. Once you get to higher amounts collected you are constantly attacked until you're back at square one.
A problem is with players that have been inactive for over 50 days and some even 240 or more and is the leader of an alliance. We recommend removing them as leader or removing them from the game. Many alliances are sitting full of inactive players that haven't played in 50 or more days. Honestly it's taking up alliance names as well as positions in good alliances. With these inactive players as leaders no one can rank up as an elder or lord and no one can declare war or kick inactive players. It is very unfair to the game and the players. Please fix issues with inactive players. We suggest a minimum amount of inactive days before removal as leader of an alliance. Please and thank you. Also we would like to recommend that a more aggressive promotion of this game is in order. You can maximize profits be allowing for deals on many different things such as crystals to new characters or bonuses for being new. Maybe even better bonuses for being a recommended player. By having people be rewarded for gathering new players it would increase your revenue and exposure of this app by at least 3x. We also would recommend more ways to interact with other players like a private chat function. If any improvements are made we will gladly move up to a 5 star rating.
The game will not load. It looks like a fun game to play but it won't load.
Update came out and we lost everything, we delate it to re instal it and wont let us download ._. Plz fix this.
We thoroughly enjoy this game from when we first played it.
Great graphics. Awesome story. Good job.
Long build times? Check Limited workers only increasable with premium currency? Check Energy system? Check (one of the worst we've seen, at that) we hope you like PvP because that's basically all there is to do after your sad amount of energy is gone. Too bad. It LOOKED like a cool concept.
We have been playing this game for almost a year now. We have aThrone level 17 and we are in a alliance called Endlessnight. This game isn't like the other games we have played. We get tired of the other ones and delete them. We honestly think Monster Castle is better than Clash of Clans.The game keeps getting better and better.Keep up the good work!:).
At first this game was kinda lame, compared to the others but now since the updated it and they don't take away your people when you fight, as long as they don't die. It's really fun. We find ourselves playing it all the time when we're free.
The game is great, there's no other games like it, it's set up perfectly. HOWEVER, we hate the music, which is totally fine. It's just even though we turned the sound off for the game, when we enter the game, it plays for the entire time the loading screen is up and it keeps playing while we're in the game unless we open the settings menu. Then it turns off instantly. Once you fix this, we will be truly satisfied.
It said something about maximum application allowed… On our recommended alliance.And we try to search up random alliance like monster,dragon, but nothing pop up.
Good quality character drawings. The free bonuses could be more value. For higher levels money have to be spent so this may turn off some people. Entertaining.
This game keeps crashing before we can even claim our daily rewards. The game also lags a lot more and we can't do anything without it turning black for 1 minute then crashing. So can you please fix this so we can actually play.
It restarted our game without us deleting it or anything we lost all our progress.
UPDATE: As of the latest update, the game crashes even more often. Instead of fixing their inefficient code, they add to it. Figures. Oh, and new discovery… It won't even allow you to get a "low-battery" notification without losing your current activity and requiring a reload of the app! Seriously, fix your app before adding more crap! ORIGINAL REVIEW: Especially unbearable when you lose attack battles (and lose many of your prized medals), because of the crash, that would have been easy victories. Also crashes so much during campaign battles that it wipes out our stamina attempting what should be an easy battle. And the time to reload is ridiculously long. We don't know why, but it works fine on the normal-sized iPad w/Retina, but the iPad Mini can't handle the computations or memory usage, or something. Regarding Siri… You cannot do ANYTHING ELSE while playing Monster Castle without losing what you are doing and having to restart (this goes for any iPad, not just the mini). If you switch briefly to another app, or simply ask Siri to set a timer for you, the game will have to restart. Extremely frustrating! Especially with the long load times. We have really enjoyed building our castle despite the problems. But, these issues need to be resolved to really make this game enjoyable. We would also like to suggest some fuzzy logic in rendering the monsters and humans. Adjust the height, colors, speed, etc. It would be so much more fun to have unique monsters and not just hoards of exact clones that all look, walk and think exactly alike. It would be more interesting if each creature could have its own peculiarities and increase the randomness of how they make decisions while attacking and defending. If we can start multitasking without restarting, we'll bump this to 2 stars. If the crashing stops in iPad Mini, we'll bump this up to 3 stars. 4 if you can solve both. 5 stars if you also incorporate our ideas to make creatures more unique. Just need to add a few lines of random property values on the class creations between some reasonable mins/Max's. Good luck.
Its really fun. Its unlike any other base builder ive ever played.
We want to play this game so bad but the game won't load we tried turning the phone off off than deleted the game but still won't load. We give it 5 stars because of our friends experiences but FIX IT.
Really fun and addicting. Join an active alliance and you can really grow fast. Level up those orcs.
