What Makes Rise of Kingdoms Stand Out
Conquer with Greece, Rise to Greatness
▶Introducing a New Civilization to Rise of Kingdoms: Greece! ◀
Greece has entered the Rise of Kingdoms arena. The bedrock of western civilization and home to legendary philosophers, warriors, and poets, the might of the Hellenistic world is now yours to wield:
THE GREEKS—Brave, thoughtful, artistic, and innovative, the Ancient Greeks are known for their breathtaking architectural marvels such as the Parthenon, as well as their pioneering role in politics, arts, philosophy, and warfare. How will you leverage the wealth of resources and intellectual prowess at your disposal?
Will you steer Greece like the Golden Age of Pericles, fostering democracy and constructing architectural masterpieces? Or showcase your military strength like Alexander the Great? Will you succumb to the forces of Rome, or extend the brilliant legacy of Hellenic civilization into perpetuity?
It's time for you to show your true power.
▶FEATURES◀
14 Unique Civilizations
Choose one of 14 historical civilizations and guide your empire from a lone clan into a great, unstoppable force! Each civilization has its own architecture, unique units, and special advantages — how you utilize them is up to you!
Put your governing skills to the test with the Greece civilization; fight together with Pyrrhus, Pericles, Alexander the Great, and other great commanders to conquer the Aegean.
Real-Time Battles
Battles happen in real time on the map. Anyone can join or leave a battle at any time, allowing true RTS gameplay. See an ally being attacked right in your backyard? Send some troops to help your buddy out, or launch a surprise counterattack on the attacker’s city.
Seamless World Map
All in-game action takes place on a single, enormous map inhabited by players and NPCs. No isolated bases or separate battle screens. Never before seen on mobile “infinite zoom” allows you to transition freely between the world view and individual cities or barbarian outposts. Map features include natural obstructions such as rivers and mountain ranges and strategic passes that must be captured to gain entrance to neighboring regions.
Exploration & Investigation
Your world is covered in thick fog. Dispatch scouts to explore this mysterious land and uncover the hidden treasure within.
Investigate lost temples, barbarian fortresses, mysterious caves, and tribal villages, gather intelligence on your enemies, and prepare yourself for the ultimate battle!
Unrestricted Troop Movements
New orders can be issued to troops at any time, offering limitless strategic possibilities. Launch an attack on an enemy city, then circle back and meet up with your alliance army to capture a pass.
Dispatch troops to collect lumber from a nearby forest and have them pick off a few barbarian clans along the way. Forces can also be split up between multiple commanders so that you can engage in multiple actions simultaneously.
Alliance System
Full alliance features allow players to help one another: live chat with built-in translation, officer roles, map indicators to coordinate strategies, and more! Alliances can expand their territory to gain resources, capture mountain passes and barbarian outposts to strengthen their position, and work together to unlock group achievements.
Conquer the Kingdom
Fight alongside your alliance to take control of this vast kingdom. Clash with other players and use superior tactics to emerge victorious in a MMO strategy battle royale. Rise to the top and you and your civilization will be written down in your kingdom’s history!
RPG Commanders
Call upon dozens of historical figures who will serve as your trustworthy commanders, from Julius Caesar and Sun Tzu to Joan of Arc and Kusunoki Masashige. Level up your commanders by defeating barbarians and sending them into battles, then upgrade their abilities using an RPG style talent tree and skill system.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this game so many people to have fun with.
We love this game and all the historical figures in it.
This is a amazing and addicting game it is so much fun.
We thought thi was bad but nah it acc good ngl.
This game is good we used to play snow out survival and this is way more enjoyable and way more easy.
We were very reluctant at the beginning but we have always seen ads on this game so we decided to try it and loved it.
Also, heres a lil tip, choose Japanese for your starting civilization because your gathering speed is increased and we THINK your training speed is also increased, and you get a free garrison commander.
We dont get bullied anymore because we have 10 million power.
No ads real players and is easy from the start and it is more challenging throughout the game but overall Im really satisfied from the game.
Something we can play when we get bored it is fun to play easy to learn.
It is so great to be playing this game.
After a few weeks of playing it became really fun battling others and doing quest to get gems and the best part is that its really easy to get resources to upgrade and train people really fun.
Been playing this game for weeks now and it never gets old! New quest and missions almost every week and constant updates! Love it.
In the next update can you please add automatic points during the Mightiest Governor for all events.
One of the most fun games ive played.
Its a easy game to adjust to simple to learn and all-around perfect.
In our opinion, one of the best games Ive ever played, you get to make a clan and climb the leaderboard to the top, team or individually. Thats why we put five out of five stars.
Es muy entretenido y us gusta mucho.
Once u start, its impossible to get bored of it. There is so many things to do.
This is a amazing and great game.
We get to do lots of strategizing and building power and you can always improve.
Please this is a great game but at some point Id like to get muskets..and fusiliers please or musketeers being that Im playing as France please.
The ads need to be more related to the actual game, and the beginners need good alliances to count on. When we first began to play RoK, we got kicked from an alliance for being offline too long btw we fell asleep but apart from that, the art and gameplay is pretty good. We would range the rating from around 4-5 stars.
This game is super fun and keeps us engaged try it out.
It is so fun because even if u are on the ride or some sort u can still play it and we really like fighting games and this is in our top 3.
Great if you have time to invest into. If not youll be left behind.
Thought it would be a slip base builder as we remember it being but its WAY better then we thought so thx rise of kingdoms :).
Really like the different atmospheres the game gives off, Im enjoying it been playing for a few days now and we like where its going for us.
We love this game and youll see why too if you click the install button, go ahead! You know you want to! Download it and let your kingdom RISE.
We are thus far, Immensely enjoying this game! There is a quality of calming yet mindfulness that seems to easily melt the stress away.
We downloaded this in an attempt at one of those play games for cash apps, but found ourselves actually enjoying it.
El juego es bueno pero demasiado pay to win mucha gente pierden el inter antes de llegar a kvk 1 por que no puede aser nada contra gente que le mete ms de 1000 dlares semanal mente.
Getting same commander when you have it already. Too much paying for commanders, gems, and chests plus the chests cost too many gems. Also you cant change your civilization and keep your current progress from the other one.
This game is really entertaining and is really addicting to play we like this game a lot.
Its fun to play but 300$ at least if u want a chance VVIP.
Great civilisation game that is also at the same time fun and engaging.
Ok we know that this is an amazing game but it doesnt look a lot like in the ads like most games but it is surprisingly similar, now to the suggestions: 1 make it so you can make a completely different mode like where you choose your nation like normal but then you can actually take territory and with a single player/multi player mode choice so in single player the other nations are Ai and when you declare war on an AI or when it declares war on you when the attacking army enters the other players/Ai territory then it is taken to the AI/player who is attacking IDK just a thought 2 being able to put your nation on hills not all but some that we can clearly see as being able to fit it same at with the giant hills surrounding an area it was very annoying that we could not put our base in area. Other than that great game.
There are two many good things too name about this game. Here are some we like: Good combat, exploration, some history, and more. The one flaw that we know of: upgrades take way too long.
Its very good game and addicting.
Rise of kingdoms is one of our top favorite games, but today we will not show a bias, we would like to first discuss the P2P and F2P, which what the critical comments say about p2p is funny, because how they get there is by lying and deceiving the viewer not to download a game, Sure, rise of kingdoms does have some P2P aspects but its not impossible, we are a F2P and we get very far for every character we use, Secondly: The Toxic Community: the community is very toxic, (if you read global chat you know what we mean) and predators lurk in the global chat, but in your kingdom, everyone has a place, the game is balanced, our only issue with the game: updaye more frequently and add bigger updates. Sincerely: Brady.
We love this game. That being said, not all of us can afford to spends thousands of dollars a month on this game. Its very discouraging knowing you put in a lot of time just to be out bought by someone with less skill than you. Had to uninstall the game because of the whales that ruin kingdoms.
Played this game for about 1 year. The game mechanics are good and addictive. But you cant do anything when facing with pay to win players. Some of them even spent over 10k usd in our sever for win and no one can beat them.
We have just started this game and then stopped because it was just so hard to actually get good by playing 10-20 minutes a day we're literally stuck at like 50k power and can't do anything else.
Good game but in the later portion of it if you dont spend money you cant advance unless you grind all day everyday and then you have to make sure your in a kingdom where your not constantly getting burned because the people so called in charge dont want you there its a pay to win game not worth it if your not willing to spend big bucks.
Amazing so far Im bot big fan of this kind of games But this one is an amazing avd cnt put our phone away.
This game is literally our go-to when Im bored.
The advertisement for this game is very deceiving. It is nothing like the actual game. We played this game for many years and really enjoyed it. We get frustrated when they advertise something different than how the game actually is.
We havent played yet, but we know its five stars.
Erm we have 6,700,000 power in rise of kingdoms.
