Great game. Only small issues. The game is great. It’s fun and addictive. If you are proactive you can actually end up with a community of players that become a digital family. I have. Have an amazing time playing. It is very addictive but almost anything is if you like it enough. The only issues I warn about are these. If you reach out to the tech support team they may or may or respond to you. There are some glitches. The worst ones are the ones that cause you to get locked out of the game temporarily and then you get hit in a attack that causes you to lose everything. Especially if you actually buy upgrades and packages . So beware of what you spend and the fact that you might lose it and not have any control over how it’s gone. I lost a lot of my spending during server issues and when I reached out to tech support, they asked me for screen shots of the server issue and when I was attacked. I don’t know how you would predict that you would need to take a screen shot until after you have the issue, but either way, they didn’t help me at all. So be warned, support will just ignore your requests for help.

Game needs better customer service. I had been and still am having trouble just accessing the game. Now I’m in trouble of loosing everything I earned in this game is about to be destroyed over this weekend all because noone has gotten my messages or has chosen to ignore my problem which is about simply being able to access the game . It loads and the gets to the very end with just a tiny bit to go but instead just keeps saying it is loading for hours at a time. Because I can’t get in the game I can’t email or get on to send the ticket stating that I have a major problem. I have not had any way to access the game o be able to file a complaint. The only access I am here but not able to share that I am having a major issue because I cant access the game to complain because that place you go to share your complaint is also being blocked so I have had to ask other places to even be able to let those who fix the game issues know I have a major one. I have no access to anything any part of the game and it won’t allow me to file a complaint. This is the most stupid thing I have ever seen and if I could I would sue to get all my money back because I am starting to hate the game but a friend of mine filed a complaint for me we will see if I get anything I’ve lost back and be able to have access to any options within the game because the problem is the game will not give me any access. Sad garbage madness it deserves a negative star

Low RSS. I agree with HemiJGetMoney all the way! You spend all this money on the game and come SVS you’ve lost everything with basically no way to get your troops back without continuing to spend $. You get K28 and everything slows down building wise. At that point you are really in the middle. Your not strong enough to play SvS effectively, you can hit all the small keeps. That’s it. That’s not really that much fun for no rewards. So your caught in the middle. You have to spend large amounts of $ to grow any bigger, therefore most people stop playing. You choose to play for the long haul or not. It’s basically impossible to grow after that and have fun being competitive. If you join an alliance, which you must, they make it better but the ‘big cheeses’ dominate the game and that’s not fun either. The lack of RSS is stupid. And if you don’t continue to bubble 24/7 you will lose everything! They make it too expensive to do that for too long without playing it every-single day! For those of us “middle class” who have JOBS that demand attendance (how dare they) makes it virtually impossible to keep playing. If you aren’t going to give us RSS, atleast make LONGER bubble times easier to get and less expensive!

Evony not a strategy game. This was a really entertaining game for a short while. While it’s fun building up your city and joining an alliance, you will quickly find out that Evony is not a really a strategy game. This game is a numbers game that pretends to be about strategy. For example, if you’re city is a level 10 it can easily be over powered by another opponent as long as they are a higher level than you. Unless you spend real money to purchase truce agreements your city remains vulnerable without a shield 24/7. This proves extremely frustrating especially when you spend money on packages that contain city clues. If you’re working on collecting items like this, it’s not worth it. If you activate a key it alerts the entire server so an opponent that is a higher level can come in and take your city that you worked hard to obtain. Unless you spend real money to level past them, there’s absolutely no strategy you can come up wit to win your resources back. It’s similar to s pyramid scheme than anything else. If you have lots of money to continue purchasing truce agreements, you’ll continue to get raided by opponents with a higher level than you. Good luck!!

Fake ads, lame game, money grabbing. It’s funny how they have all these ads saying “don’t you hate these fake ads for puzzle games.” But that’s exactly what this is. The game is nothing like the ads. Even after you unlock the stupid puzzle portion of the game it does not look anything like the puzzles in the commercials! This game is lame. It’s just another city building war game PVP trying to grab your money, trying to encourage you to spend money to be competitive against other people who spent money. It’s boring. It’s derivative. It’s completely unoriginal. And it’s absolutely trying to fake you out with fake ads that don’t look anything like the game using ads that say “don’t you hate fake ads that don’t look anything like the game!” Yes I hate the advertisements and ad writers of this game way more than I hate the boring, unoriginal hacks developing this game. I would rate it zero stars but that’s not an option. I’m willing to bet most of the 5 star reviews are fake. Take a close look, many of the reviews show 5 stars but the txt of the review says it’s false advertising and a money grab. Yes, I hear you saying “be patient, it’s an unlockable mini-game within the main game.” But that’s just It. The puzzle game is an unlockable mini-game, and your advertisements literally lie and claim it is the main game. And the puzzles don’t look anything like the animated puzzles in the advertisements. Stop lying!

False advertisement. I hope the 0 stars shows, anyway this game was all about puzzles and yet they never discuss the entire clash of clans thing to where you gotta upgrade soldiers and stuff in order to unlock these puzzles, I have to get to basically town hall 31 in order to enjoy the puzzles and it’s hard considering the materials are in the million zone. Second the player base is just a joke, we have people dedicated to wipe new players out, people who judge others about activity on a mobile game, no offense but I like to touch grass now and then however people take it very seriously. The power system is a joke by itself because you need to gain power to gain materials in order to get 1 upgrade on your town hall getting 6 puzzles tops, the developers need to just make a puzzle game and it will sell wonderfully. The real reason many people downloaded this stupid game is to simply solve puzzles, the fact that this game uses false advertisement to get you to play is simply terrible on its own. Please whoever sends a Support person saying “ dear player “ give me a valid reason on why the game lied to everyone who has ever played it forcing them to play something completely different instead of a puzzle game and if you send an AI or normal response then like I said this game deserves 0 stars for the unreasonable prices on things you need to buy to have fun, the player toxic community, the false advertisement and etc

Misleading advertising/Devs pls respond to this review. You most likely found this game from an ad. That ad most likely displayed you solving puzzles. While you really don’t come across any puzzles in the game, the devs keep replying to reviews from individuals saying that they didn’t have the patience to play through enough of the game to reach the puzzles. To the devs: If your ads are going to contain only puzzles and no actual gameplay from the main part of the game (which is similar to clash), then why do you tell people to keep playing the game because they are impatient when you don’t have any puzzles in the beginning of the game? Or, why don’t you have enough puzzles throughout the game that’ll please the consumer? If y’all can spend absolute bank on ads, y’all can make a better game. (This is just an example) Even if you incorporate micro-transactions on the puzzles (if the puzzles are already appearing more often than now) it’ll keep players happy knowing they got the game they paid for and should stick around longer, AND it puts more money into your pocket! I mean, everything business after all. Just food for thought. But to wrap it up, it’s misleading advertising that’ll make most people delete the app shortly after downloading

Customer support. Listen game is cool, customer support is slow to non existent, if you lose something good luck getting it replaced , their standard saying is best regards after driving a knife through your rib cage telling you that your imagining things as your stuff did not disappear or mess up. Event packages..... good luck getting the items after you buy and you actually did not get them lol , EVONY Customer service is a joke however the game is cool but yes it does MESS up regardless what they say. Why would I give you my account for retaliation.... it’s not as if you couldn’t figure it out anyway... your latest response to me is a total joke , I send you a pic stating I did not receive 9.99 event pack I purchased on Dec 1 , you wait until I purchase another Last night Dec 5th to answer , then answer and say you received your items at 11:38 gmt time 😂 time... complete JOKE of a customer support .... and still never address missing troops .... Don’t waste your time on this game if you do , eventually you will need customer support and you will get told your fault best regards evony ... that’s after days of no answer and they investigate the wrong thing on the wrong day at the wrong time 😂 Furthermore I have played this game for years now and spent money on it daily ... to be treated the way I have over 20k troops and a ten dollar event pack is unacceptable when I have spent thousands on this game , but I assure you I will not be spending anymore ......

Piranha. This game is designed to exploit human vulnerabilities and monetize on them. The make it impossible to grow in the game if you don’t pay. They also don’t offer in between packages, you either spend 5$ or 99$, in order to get anything in between you have to buy multiple packets too. Once you have invested enough in this game you feel trapped as the game depends on you having on a protective bubble otherwise there are always players bigger than you that will set you back and recovering is only possible by spending more money. Boss monsters rarely drop what they advertise and any special event monster higher than lvl1 requires keep 32 or higher and over one million troops which require BILLIONS in resources to upgrade. A 99$ package only gives you 750million for perspective. Also if you pay for items you should be able to give them freely to other players but Evony doesn’t allow you to gift most things in the game. If you like wasting money then play this game and don’t look back otherwise there are healthier games out there that are better for your mental state not to mention your wallet. *UPDATE They just recently had a server wide black out for most of the day, on the last day of the most important day of server vs server war. Many lost everything and not one word of apology. Worst game ever I wish I never started, I pray for the day I get zeroed and don’t have the resources to rebuild my city.

Good game, but a horrid money drain. Good overall game. But, hands down, bar none, the biggest straight up money hole of a game, on ANY platform, I’ve ever played. As another reviewer said, be prepared to drop thousands of USD on this game in order to be remotely competitive. Getting hit and zeroed will literally cost you hundreds to rebuild. No amount of farming will speed it up. You went to be a top ten player? Spend top ten money. If you’re looking for a game that has balance and is good tactically, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for something to sink all of your spare time and money in so you can be a top player, this is it. The bundle values aren’t values at all. Especially once you hit level 30 and above. When you can spend $500 and barely put on any noticeable power, it’s bad. The game does have some glitches, but nothing overly bad. It’s straight forward in the UI aspect, it doesn’t take long to learn, pvp aspect is good, but, it all comes back to money. Lots and lots of it. Oh, they have no legitimate customer service either. Don’t bother contacting them, don’t bother reporting anything to them, don’t bother with any of it. It’s a waste of your time and it will only make you more frustrated.

Loopholes that only financially benefit the maker. So the game is based on rules that players are supposed to follow. Rule breakers can be judged as “kill on sight” by the king. However, some clever rule breakers exploit loopholes in the game to avoid judgement and keep breaking the rules. They can still use “truce” agreements and after illegally attacking other players, quickly bubble up and teleport to avoid the consequences. While lucrative for the rule breaker, the person attacked is left with the damage. Financial damage actually if thei either lost resources they paid for or have to spend money to recover from the illegal attack. Even worse, a player that feels safe when using a truce agreement to protect from attack, can still get illegally attacked by the rulebreaker on resource tiles. Makers of the game, until you fix this and extend the truce agreement to a players troops wherever they are, resource tiles, relics etc. so they can be fully protected, I have to consider your game fraudulent and I will complain to Apple and my credit card company. And while you’re at it, anyone designated “kill on sight” / kos by the king should not be able to enjoy protection from truce agreements or teleports. This is taking the fun out of the game if a few rotten apples can spoil the fun. Looking forward to your response, my next call will be with apple and my credit card company.

Good graphics, but not what I expected from the ads. I downloaded this because the graphics and puzzles looked intriguing, but it turned out to be just another war/battle game, which isn’t my kind of thing. Yes, the pin puzzles do exist, but you have to spend most of the time doing irritating tasks to get to the few puzzles that exist. Also, maybe it’s just me, but choosing “American” culture and having all the NPCs call me “My Liege” is…disconcerting. Note to the marketing department: Your ad blitz is going to result in a big drop in your ratings. You have only yourselves to blame. Puzzle gamers and battle gamers are two very different groups with not a lot of overlap. You’re targeting puzzle gamers with ads that claim that this is a “real” puzzle game. Of course people are going to be angry when they download it and find that it’s the biggest bait-and-switch ever. I’d rather have a puzzle game with bad graphics than a battle game with good graphics, and I’m not alone. Edit: From the developer response, I don’t think they’re even really reading these reviews. I acknowledged there are puzzles in the game. The problem is that they lied when they said it’s a “real puzzle game”. It’s not. It’s a war game with the occasional puzzle. Why would I want to play a game I don’t enjoy at all when there are, in fact, “real puzzle games” out there?

Fun, but ultimately frustrating.. Like most others I downloaded it because of the puzzles, which are fun. But you immediately realize that the puzzles are only there to get you to download it. They’re janky. But the real game was pretty fun. Building up your city, choosing where to put resources and research into…but it has zero balance when it comes to the pvp aspect. My realm was actually pretty cool in the sense that the king and its alliance actively enforced a no-kill pact against people that changed their name from the default, and were in an alliance. Which worked well. It helped people to build up their power. But every week for THREE days there’s an event that rewards players for attacking others and for this you either bubble or get attacked. It’s actually not too bad, until you get annihilated by someone who pulled out the visa and is 20x your power. They absolutely need to do something about this because unless you pay you’ll never do well during this event. It is 100% a money grab. You either pay to be able to buy the bubble you need to protect yourself, or pay to be somewhat equal in power. Which is really tragic because the rest of it is a pretty well thought out and deep game. Uninstalled after 3 weeks.

Cheating. As you get further into the game I noticed that it started cheating me and I was like what? I really could not believe that a game could do that but yes it actually does! I know in my server it was the same winners every week! Like in the city development competition how can a level 38 possibly win that? That’s just common sense! Also in the treasure hunt event it cheats and when I started winning it sent someone to attack me every time! The game is fun but don’t plan on winning anything! Maybe if you pay lots of money you might win but who wants to do that? It seemed like the more power I gained in the game the more people started to not like me like in the world chat and the more it cheated to not let me win! I had like 5 or 6 people harassing me daily on the world chat and I never did anything to these people! I pointed out that it was cheating and the people in world chat jumped all over me! They must work for evony or something! Something definitely not right about the game! Then when I tried to restart my game I cannot log on now cause it asked me to give a good review of the game but I’m not going to lie just to play! I read another review before I started playing that warned me of cheating but I did not listen and I got burned so be careful!

Fun BUT.... I've been playing evony for almost 2 years. I was a low- mid spender, but I quit giving them a dime when I realized that they were never going to fix the issues that the game has had for the entire time I've played. I've sent multiple tickets on many different issues and gotten no response or a response where it was obvious that they had never actually read the ticket. The goal of the designers of this game is to get you to spend money at all costs, and they keep adding new features that will cost thousands to complete, not to mention what it costs to recover after one of the many game "glitches" costs you all your troops, or a bunch of lost resources. The game itself is very fun, and takes a lot of thought and learning to be able to build for your style of play. The problem is that you can't rely on the software to work the way it is supposed to, or tech support/ customer service to be any use when there is a problem. I have friends who it took 6 months or longer to have issues resolved by customer service. I personally have tickets that were closed with no response, or still haven't been responded to after 5 months.

Does not value customer base. I’ve played Evony for over a year. This game has a PvP feature called Battlefield- Battle of Constantinople which becomes one of the primary competitive aspects of the game. Players spend thousands of dollars to try and be competitive. Unfortunately, for up and coming players trying to compete with mega coiners, the All Star battlefield gameplay experience is riddled with gameplay issues, lag, glitches, etc. I’ve been to multiple All Stars and after the Season 9 experience, I’ve decided to stop spending money and considering leaving the game. After attempting to work with their customer service, where I provided in game screenshots of issues I experienced which included being locked out of the game, unable to load back in, heal glitched just to name a few, they repeatedly send automated responses that won’t acknowledge the proof provided. Other players receive compensation for these issues and there seems to be no logical rationale to support who gets customer service and who doesn’t. I enjoyed the game for a while and I wished that the developer team would fix the issues and the customer service department made a real effort to preserve the satisfaction level of paying customers. Be careful with managing expectations of this game. It demands a lot of time and the return isn’t worth the investment when you’re getting screwed out of rewards.

Amazing game! Questionable support.. Let me start off by saying I have been playing this game for a few months. I love the ideas and principles of the game! Keeps you entertained for weeks on end and constantly has new events so that the content does not get old. However, when a problem arises, don’t expect support to be any help. I have had a problem where my general Hun Xin can not Star any gear of any quality for whatever reason. Over a week ago I contacted support to try and get the bug cleared up, and have been trying to get them to believe me since. The first support technician was going to check the logs to see what was going on, and that was on day 1 of the ticket. I am not currently on day 8 of the ticket, have sent screenshots, have downloaded the game and uninstalled it twice to try and fix any bugs, and can not get a response now from support. I wish they would have just told me a week ago to uninstall and not waste my time trying to fix the problem. Until they are able to hire additional service employees( if workload is high) and/or get better in the service department, I am going to have to take a hiatus from the game. I hope that they make a turnaround as this is one of the better games on the App Store if they would just put everything that had into it.

Fun people, bad coding, & expensive. First: I love my alliance members. They are the reason I stay in the game. The game is absolutely full of bugs and bad coding that can come up at the worst possible moment. If you get what players call “red wifi” in the middle of a battle, you can lose EVERYTHING in the time it takes to reboot the app. If my alliance were to fall apart, I would probably bounce. Or would I? I am almost ashamed of how much money I have spent on this game. I kinda have to treat this like an investment now. If I were to leave… I cannot. I just cannot. At the barest minimum of time and effort, I would still maintain a force field/“bubble” at all times - to be exposed would mean getting attacked and having to walk away from obscene numbers of dollars of upgrades. The game is a very beautifully designed system of timers. Everything takes lots of time. There are always greater and greater goals that take longer and longer to achieve. The fastest way to bypass this is to pay real money. The developers will reply with something like, “There are lots of opportunities to play for free.” Sure, if you want to spend LITERALLY 18 months on a timer for higher level main city upgrades. Without exaggeration, there are world class players who are in the upper echelons who have spent enough money to buy a house. A literal house. So be careful of what you sign up for and commit to.

Beware: Buggy app just caused significant loss of money. Evony just cost me a lot of money and has potentially caused my server consisting of hundreds of other players to lose a tournament against another server because of their buggy app. I was facing off against another player during a biweekly “Server War.” I attacked my opponent and then tried to use a “truce agreement” (a bubble or dome plsced over your city to prevent others from being able to attack you). HOWEVER, Evony’s buggy app wouldn’t allow me to use a truce agreement. Because I couldn’t raise my “bubble,” my opponents were able to hit me and 1) killed all my troops, and worse 2) turned my server from being the winners of the Server War to being the losers. This issue has also happened to other players on my server. There has been widespread discussion of this and other issues. I’m posting my problem here because when I’ve used their ticketing system in the past to report issues, I’ve either gotten no response or very very late responses. It’s also well known that when issues like this happen, Evony will not properly reimburse players for their losses. And the problem with Evony not replacing reimbursing losses, you see, is that this is an incredibly expensive game to play. I have spent hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars $$$ on this game. EVONY: WILL YOU HELP ME THIS TIME? I EXPECT A FULL REIMBURSEMENT OF THE RESOURCES/SPEEDUPS USED SAVE MY TROOPS AND A POINTS READJUSTMENT FOR MY SERVER.

Great game ruined by pay to play. This game has some amazing potential but is ruined by greed on the part of the developers. Highly addicting and unlimited money can be spent to give you an edge. It is possible to grow and own pay to play players, but it requires too much time of mind numbing grinding vikings and ymir. The rush of outsmarting and beating pay to play whales is completely undone by the fact that they can and do swipe a credit card and instantly heal. They could make this game so much better and still make money if they limited available heals in battlefield and server war, and made server war ares only available to player with the top five “net” scores. Stay away… its a trap for your time and money. Update** developer responded with the standard cut and paste “power is endless” response. I know how to grow smart and learned the mechanics of fighting smart… and i have no issue with people who pay to get ahead but the fact that there are no limits to how much they can spend to heal mid battle or server war renders all that knowledge completely useless. How many of you were in servers where people would go for server war wings with a billion point loss just to get 150 million points? Battlefields are the same, its not about being clever or fast, its about swiping that credit card and healing over and over

Buyer beware. So I’ve been playing this game over a year here’s my opinion and advice. The game is fun but as with all multiplayer games there’s good and bad. The game has costs and rewards the costs are time, in game materials like gold, gems and speed ups. Everything takes more of these than you have so you must play the game and gather resources from tiles. Beware the developers use excessive superlatives like “large, huge and massive” and nothing is ever “large, huge or massive” except maybe for how much of something you need to advance build and grow. This is however a war game and many players only attack and steal from you so most new players quit before the grow enough to defend themselves the solution is to join an alliance that will guide and protect you as you grow. Be aware the game is full of bugs at least for me it is as 80% of everything doesn’t work or you don’t receive the rewards you have achieved like spin the wheel of fortune and never see the winning items in your inventory. All in all it’s a good waste of time, fun but frustrating as there’s no actual help so don’t bother asking all you get is canned responses and echos.

This game is a fraud. Update 2/2/23: Customer Service continues to change its story and marginalize the losses caused by poor network services as well as any issue with the false advertisements. If I could give negative stars, I would. I want my money back! This game should be removed from the App Store. After a more than a year of playing and building and spending thousands of dollars, none of the puzzles you see advertised anywhere are actually in the game and network services are so bad, the game is completely unplayable at times (especially during battles). This results in losses to in-game assets which usually costs money and cannot be recovered due to customer support who seemed to be trained to lie and marginalize players. Random glitches and network lag also cause losses to in-game assets which you pay for, but cannot recover. Further, the developer is constantly producing ways to dilute the value of in-game assets by reducing free rewards and content that players thought they would always get before spending money. They also produce new premium content that outperforms old premium content many players spent money on and cannot be upgraded or redeemed (generals are the shining example). Some of the statements and nearly all of the images you see in the description are blatant fabrications and/or fabrications to get people to start playing and spending within their game. I can’t believe Apple would let this type of fraudulence continue in their app-store.

Be selective about your server. If I could give them less than a single star I would. I’ve been on two server’s now, both with their fair share of egos and bullies. The second sever is worse because the bully is a huge coiner. 5.3B to be exact. Server rules are NAP, but they don’t apply to him, or his alliance. This game is becoming increasingly difficult to play without coining. So if you aren’t willing to drop 2k every 2 weeks, find a NAP server where the top players are a peaceful bunch, and want it to stay that way. Evony is nickel and diming everything in game. The good stuff in the alliance shops are now limited on quantity. The game is being catered to large coiners who will drop anything to get ahead. The rewards for svs, battlefield, aren’t worth the costs to your keep. Players drop a few hundred easily to prepare for chalons, and the payout is horrible. The discrepancy in game play is unreal, and only getting worse. Also, don’t bother sending a service ticket. They rarely answer, and they definitely do not care if there is a bully on the server. Which is sad, it’s a game, but there are real people behind the keyboard. They have feelings, and I’ve heard some horrible things that have happened because a player lost everything. I suppose the moral of the review is be extremely selective, or don’t bother.

Not a puzzle game, beware!. Game ads show this as a puzzle game, but it’s really a MMO strategy game. Be careful not to get sucked in, join a wonderful active alliance and suddenly spend hours trying to get ahead or spend loads of money to keep trying to level up. Then watch all your efforts wash down the drain when other players kill all your efforts, generals, troops and burn your castle down This game is fun, but costly. There’s always another level to achieve, another building to upgrade, another battle or event to participate in. Stamina is a complete joke and absolutely necessary if you get into the game. The XP needed to level up monarch, general, and spirit beast, and time to complete building any buildings are also ridiculously high. The version updates are glitchy. Every update tells me that my device is out of space, when there is more than 50% storage space available. I constantly have to uninstall, then reinstall the latest full app version, and then go through the intro steps over & over again before getting about to reload my current progress

Save yourself. Do yourself a favor and don’t download this game. I have been playing for about 15 months now, and am still an active player. That’s what this game is good at, getting you hooked through feelings of accomplishment whenever you upgrade a building and failing to realize you’re digging yourself deeper and deeper into the whole. This is a pay-to-play game, anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Yes, there are players who don’t spend money, but they aren’t actually playing the game. You’ll notice after each update to the game that the developers and company only care about making money through macro transactions and continuously widen the gap between players who spend thousands (yes thousands) of dollars and players who spend 5 or 10 dollars on the weekend. There are so many flaws left untouched, yet they keep adding new things for players to spend money on and further the gap. This gaming company also has the worst customer support I have ever experienced, and I have played a lot of games. The game quite literally steals money from you. They also make it their mission to keep as much information from you as possible on how things work in the game, that way when you make mistakes, you have to pay to correct them. Sooner or later, you’ll realize you’ve invested so much time and possibly money that you just got to keep going with it.

Awful customer support and will flat out steal. There was a glitch in the game while I was buying packages, never received the packages, but was still charged for them contacted their so called customer support only to be told after about a week and the payment being fully processed to contact apple for refund (not sure why I would contact 3rd party to receive a refund,)but I did as they suggest only to be told by apple that those items are not eligible for refund. After telling this to customer support and providing them with the receipts for the items that were paid for they told me that they have no record of the transaction (obviously since I didn’t receive the items) and they once again told me I need to go though apple. Long story short this game received payment for over $200USD worth of packages, did not provide the packages even when I told them if they can’t do a refund just give me the packages that I paid for. This is the definition of fraud taking payment for goods/services and not providing goods or services. I have photos of the receipts and all the correspondence between myself and their customer service representative that has been going on for over 45 days now and they still won’t provide any solution despite the fact that in less then 5 months I’ve spent over $5,000USD on this game. The game is fun however the company is crooked and is just wanting to take your money.

Avoid this game!. After having played this game for the last 6 months, finally decided to delete my account and uninstall the game. Most people join the game by seeing the ads that show you doing simple puzzles, once they have you in the door, they hook you by making leveling up for the actual gameplay very quick and easy. Once you reach a certain level, it becomes almost impossible to level up without spending lots of time or money. Thats when you realize this game advertises as free to play but you will never be competitive or achieve the success that players who spend money or coin. Evony doesnt care for the free players and barely cares about the ones that do pay. They only see $$$ and as long as the gameplay doesnt affect your ability to spend money on the game, they dont put much effort into fixing issues or bugs with the game. Its scary to see so many people spending 10s of thousands of dollars on this game just to say that they are ranked in the top 500 of all players or to be able to participate in certain events. If you want to throw your money away like that, you might as well go to Vegas gamble it away. At least you might have a chance of winning some of it back. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this game.

Don’t waste your time, I urge you not to.. You’ve probably seen the ads where they say that they hate false advertising in ads. Well, to a huge degree, those ads are ironically false advertising. First off, the ads act like the puzzles are a big part of the game. They really aren’t. The game is more focused on being a “build-a-civilization” type game, which I get there’s a market for, but it’s never advertised. And then we get to the puzzle levels. One noticeable thing about it is that the graphics are way worse than shown in the ads. The graphics don’t use 3D rendering but rather pre-rendered 3D images that are given low-quality animations. Most of the puzzle mechanics in the ads aren’t even in the real game. There are no enemies or lava. There’s pin pulling, sure, but it’s not as good as shown in the ads. If you’re gonna say that you hate false advertising, then at least live up to the ads and not lie. Also, any time someone calls them out on false advertising, they reply to the review with the same bot that says “We have the same content as advertised” and tell you it appears later in the game, but it doesn’t. They just can’t take criticism, and it’s probably gonna stay that way when they’re sitting upon a load of undeserved money.

Player BEWARE!!!. There are little things in this game that cause internal frustrations and hinders diverse advancements. Played for almost 3 yrs, You will think you will not be affected but they seem to be there by design. I would not recommend this game as it draws one in and requires more time than it’s worth. The gamers say you can play for free, but options are slim without having to purchase. Since I will not spend real money on imaginary items, the theory is a bit flawed. If this is the way you see it also, see your way to another game selection. There are many more available. Jeff M. Well for starters. When you offer the “free” General tidbit. You continually offer the same ones. You have the technology to keep track of who has what, and offer others so that players can improve their forces. Instead of having to eat the same ol’ crap you want to feed them. Same with you supposed Recruiting at the Tavern. Limited selections by your design. And now you have removed the warm a 3 day shield option from Alliance Donations. Strictly a buy only item now. What the heck is up with that. What makes you think that everyone wants to spend real money on a fantasy game? Make this more player friendly and more people will treat it as such. Because now, it’s the ones with the big bank rolls that dominate only by shear numbers. Who wants that environment. (And you don’t need any screenshots to understand any of this. You know!)

I’m still and still begging you guys to revive, restore and return my Evony war game….. Oh, hey. It’s Brian again. I’m still waiting and waiting for my recently deleted Evony game to come back on my Home Screen, but it’s still not available and I’m getting impatient. What’s taking you guys so long? Put it back. I am waiting to play it again due to my brother accidentally deleted it by mistake…. As I even don’t see it anywhere on my iPad Pro Home Screen, but I would appreciate it if you guys can download it on my iPad Pro again, and why does this happen? It makes no sense whatsoever to me because I need my Evony war game back and I want to play it again…since my brother accidentally deleted it by mistake, so I was hoping if you guys could revive my war game for me, so please put it back on my Home Screen so I can know where it is every day along with my other games….I’m begging you guys, please revive, restore and return my Evony war game back to me as soon as possible….and I need it back immediately….please….🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥺🥺🥺🥺. I’m absolutely positively still waiting for my accidentally deleted Evony war game to return on my Home Screen once again. Please bring my game back to me immediately. And I need it back immediately….please….🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥺🥺🥺🥺.

Game needs a few tweaks. Great game but for the people who spend thousands of dollars there should be more benefits. For example resource spots 15+ should only be accessed by k30+. By the time u reach k30 most construction upgrades cost 100million 200million 300 million + for each resource when upgrading buildings. It cost a pretty penny to get to k30 and above. The new updates are making it easier for people who don’t spend as much which is fine. But please cater to the big spenders as well because we k30 and above are mostly “middle” class as far as strength goes on the game. Most of us have spent thousands of dollars and are stuck in between being weak and strong. Simply because the game gets more expensive to increase power once you reach k30. Source of life also cost too much and are too hard to get. You spend 5k on the game then get beat in svs and can’t recover because you’re a rookie and don’t have strategy like bet players. Next thing u know 5k down the drain and nothing you can do but slowly build your troops back the slow way and get beat up every svs or be forced to bubble. That’s no fun especially when you’ve spent big money. Make some benefits and incentives for people who spent money especially those $99 packs! Thanks

Fun if you like glitches. I have been playing this game for almost 6 months. When I first started playing it was amazingly fun and addictive however, since the very first SvS (server vs server) war the matchups have been ridiculous. When you put a server that has only been around for less than 4 months at the time against a server that is almost 2yrs old that is the fastest way to kill a game. I am a spender but because of the uneven matchups I have cut my spending down to less than a quarter of what I would be willing to spend on a game that actually gives you a fair chance. Every SvS is the same the designers/mods pair new servers up against servers that are years older and more advanced. This is not how you get spenders to spend money. So that’s the uneven pairings rant. On to the glitches! The glitches are bad!!! Every time they release a new update the game won’t load properly for days. You send them messages/mails and you get no response for days. In between updates the game will load intermittently and then they put out another update (always the day before either a Kill Event/KE or SvS) and that means you come back in to a burned out shell of a castle unless you spend over 100k gems for a 7 day shield and put it on the day before. It’s ridiculous and short sighted. Unless you like glitches and wasting your time and hard earned money DO NOT download this game!!

Oh its the puzzle game alright-. Yes oh my gosh! The puzzle game you all have been waiting for! ….the adds say. Boy oh boy it was none of that, its so funny to me how bad the animations are! GOD don't get me STARTED on the red hot killing slime bought right from nickelodeon on eBay itself. You can even tell they have been clipped out of something! I don't mean to be rude, because the game isn't that bad, but the fact that nothing has a animation of its own and that its all images, and i get everything is a image everywhere, but i feel like this game said “good enough” and left it there. I didn't understand the beginning but while i was watching it I was like meh- looks good, I’ll try it first i guess, but the fricken animation though, also the different locations don't really do anything, cant really tell, they just look different. Im just begging, so much more detail PLEASE! Every character gets its own animation! Also when the player touch the spikes, i know it’s supposed to look like he is falling on the floor in pain, but when he grapples into it, by god its Jesus himself. I feel like the game would be a lot more enjoyable if it was better detailed better animations that don’t look like they were made out of paper! Please. thank you if you read this.

Buggy and a cash grab. This game has always had ads literally everywhere, popping up constantly and all over the screen. Playing longer than 5 minutes you get the point, you know where to go to buy things with real money, repeating it constantly is annoying and excessive. You’ll make a lot of money with micro transactions regardless of the million shiny buttons and banners to direct players to the store and the incessant pop up’s that actually drive people away. Second up, constant bugs. Your marches get stuck at 0:00 for ages, the game lags out and doesn’t do the things you triggered, crashes, events not working as planned/announced, and just now today it won’t even load because “your device doesn’t have enough space” when there is 30gb of free space on my phone! Is anyone testing your releases? Every “fix” pushed breaks even more things. Overall it’s a decent enough time killer if you’re willing to have micro transactions pushed down your throat and deal with the bugs. Rather complicated to learn everything at first and you’ll still be finding out how the game works for ages. Eventually you level up enough that it’s a push things a few times a day and wait ~3 days to several months for something to upgrade so it gets pretty boring unless you’re active in an alliance doing rallies.

Terrible - False advertising. I kept getting ads for this game. TONS of ads. After seeing the same ads week after week, I decided to try it out, because the game looked fun. -That game, being what appears to be a man trying to get gold, while avoiding lava and animals, etc. Pulling levers to make sure he gets to the gold, and avoids the hazards. I downloaded the game from the ad, and couldn’t even find that part of the game anywhere. I thought it was maybe just a small part of the game, and tried to “play” to get there. After a while of not knowing what I was doing, trying to find a point to the game, I gave up. There is nothing else shown in the ads, and I previously assumed that what I was shown was the main game. But the game in the ads is something I couldn’t even figure out how to do after some searching. Everything is super complicated, and therefore really disappointing. If this game isn’t about trying to get gold while trying not to fall on spikes, get covered in lava, or attacked by a big cat, then why is that all the ads show? I was tricked into downloading this game, and I’m not happy about it. Make the ads show the real game, not something completely different. I know I’m not the only one who downloaded this game, assuming it would be the game in the ads. I’d give 0 stars if possible.

Fun waist of time and free to play.. I love the speed ups and the overall feel of the game. Beautiful graphics and lots of ways to level up. I’ve spent no money as of yet. However, if you want to, they offer some really good packages from $1 to $100 and each offers different items for how you play the game. Use your initial free time to upgrade your resources, defenses and attacks, then check in a few times a day and get rewarded for simple things to do. Mistakes will be made as you learn what to do. However, don’t let it stop you from trying new things out. PvP attacks will happen, just move along and put it behind you. Remember, one day you will be the aggressor, so take your licks and let it go. My best advice is to make sure that when you’re not playing, always have your builders building, your resources collected, troops being trained, and your research actively making you stronger and able to learn special abilities. Don’t forget to check your forge to, chances are you can create a new item to help your Generals fight harder AI Bosses or another player. There’s always something to do with each login.

I’m enjoying the game, but…. I’m enjoying the game, but I have a couple of criticisms. First, there seem to be no instructions. I’ve been playing for over a month and am still flailing around. Second, a great deal of the game deals with empire building, although that isn’t explained in the ads, but I’m enjoying that part, to my surprise. A huge part of that deals with battling monsters and engaging in various contests and battles, none of which are explained. Plus, beginning players are put in teams that can’t participate in battles or alliances, which form a large part of the action, but there is no information how to remedy that by either changing teams or bettering the current team. So, for the time being, I will play incrementally and try to figure things out. I did get to battle (and defeat) my first actual monster today, as opposed to just defeating roaming bands of disgruntled humans, such as “dark warriors” or “bandits.” Of course, it was just a Cranky Snowman and I can’t defeat a level 4 Snowman without an alliance, which I can’t get, but, still, an improvement.

Don’t play this game, its a trap. This game is a trap do not start playing it, save yourself thousands of dollars. I have been playing evony for over almost 2 years and have spent a lot of money on it. Evony customer service is horrible and the game is very unfair, if you want to be a top player you will have to spend over $50,000 or more. I have been debating with customer service for over 3 months for compensation because the game glitched on me during an Allstars tournament and I lost over $1000 worth of resources trying to overcome the glitches. I provided video evidence to support my complaint but they still denied my request without providing any evidence against it from their IT department. They sent me compensation that was equal to about $5 worth of game purchases and told me I should be happy with that, which was insulting. Even if you are willing to spend a lot of money it is still a bad investment because Evony does not care about their customers. I am a big player on my server and VIP 18 but they still do not care, so trust me even the coiners get screwed on this game. This is my warning to you, don’t start playing the game, if you do they will trick you into thinking you can be a top player but they are always adding new features that benefit major coiners and unless you spend a $1,200 or more every week you will always be behind and lose in the end.

Horrible customer service & glitchy & pay for items and don’t receive them. So it is a fun game, addictive because you spend so much time building and if you want a break or walk away for a week or so from game you can not because everything you build will be back at zero when you log back in. I have paid for four to five packages of upgrades that I have not received and I just get the run around from customer service and it takes days for them to respond back to you - every time you give them what they ask for they don’t respond back. They ask for snap shots which I provided and still get cold shoulder no response or they will look into it and that’s the last you here of them. The game gets glitchy and during glitch and server updated I was killed as I was paralyzed on battle field and could not move due to glitch. The developer knew this happened to a large number of players so they sent a “gift” of supplies. These supplies did not even cover 1/16 of what I lost. I asked for developer to make it right and again customer serves asked for snap shots and I provided proof and again nothing. This is a very expensive and addictive game with horrible customer service. I hope the developer sees this and I get a higher level support person because this is not right paying for product that you don’t receive. Let’s hope they fix this.

Puzzle game….. think again. I’m on this game everyday. It’s a love hate thing. I have spent a lot of money. This game is not free. And when I first starts playing this game there was a chance for you to get almost everything free, now?? Everything cost money. Refining stone…. Probably one of the most expensive things in the game and they made refining harder. Unless you want to pay these game developers a mortgage or buy them a new car… don’t start this game… update, 3/9/23 So I left this review and I got a message from the developer asking to give them details about my issues. So in my emails I wrote them many times telling them that the game update they did is making it so when I’m refining I get no gold numbers and they made it limited on purpose to how many stones your can get from monsters. If I only way to get what you need is money. Besides the fact that you no longer can get ALL Civilization Gear for free. In Order to get a pointless piece, it cost $350 dollars. To get castle decorations and the best civilization gear you MUST spend $2000. They are making it so there is no other way to be part of this game unless you spend money. You can not spend even 10 dollars anymore because it does nothing. You need to spend at minimum 100 dollars a week.

Addictive but unhealthy. Played this game for about 3 months, started playing because of the puzzles it starts out easy with just a small commitment each day. Not even super fun, but then I joined an alliance and started making friends in the game. I never spent money in the game and for to level 27 before deciding I had to quit. It takes more and more of your time and gets super addictive, till all you want to do is play. Each level is more difficult to achieve without spending real money, although you can play and have fun as long as you’re part of an active alliance. You will end up paying with time instead of money. There is strategy involved, but you’ll never reach where you want to be when you reach on goal there’s another just out of reach. The game also has a steep learning curve, if you decide to really play you’ll spend hours trying to figure out generals, buff, debuffs, research, ghosting, battlefield, server vs server, and everything else. There’s always more to do to compete. I’ll say I enjoyed while I played I made lots of friends had a great server, but in the end it took too much of my time so be aware what you’re signing up for. This game can take upwards of ten hours and day and you can’t go long without signing on or you’ll be zeroed by other players and loose all your troops and rss.

Coiners. If your not a coiner you should join active alliance. There are no lone wolfs in this game unless you have billions of power. That may not save you either lol. The more active your alliance and you are as a member the easier bubbles are to buy from alliance shop. You don’t have to coin to get bubbles just have to be in good alliance. This is definitely a game you’ll have to put time in to level up. Game is made for players who pay but if you join them you can benefit from them. Join there rallies to kill monster it would take a non coiner years to kill. I’ll be honest chances of a non coiner making it to keep 32 is almost impossible. Lol it’s impossible unless you pay at least a little. Best way to get rss is to never open anything ever. Untill you are going to upgrade buildings or make troops, traps. The better your alliance the faster you’ll grow. Battlefields are unbalanced. So one week your alliance may win easily next week your alliance won’t stand a chance. Svs is worse because of coiners. You would think say sever 150 would dominate sever 230. Lol not how it works in a game that is pay to win. This game would be awesome if there was no paying at all. If everything could be earned by simply playing. If you have hope of reaching keep 35 without paying don’t bother never gonna happen. Your life would be evony and you still won’t make it to k35 without paying.

I should have read the reviews first. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced for a game. I should have read the reviews first before I spent my time and money on this game. Fun at first but something weird happened with my account. I spent some money in game to heal some troops to get my power level back up. When I logged in the next day my power dropped substantially with no reports of an attack on my keep. I thought it was weird but figured maybe I missed something? Maybe I didn’t bring my power back up to where I thought I did. So I spent some more money for resources to heal my troops again, this time bringing my power to over 1 billion. If you’ve played the game, you know that’s quite a bit. When I logged back in the next day (I only logged in to heal my troops and then I logged off for the day) my power level was back down under 1 billion. That’s when I realized something fishy was going on and I just spent a lot of money for those resources all for nothing. I contacted support and sent a screenshot of my power level and asked if they could somehow look back at my account activity and see what was going on…I haven’t heard from them since. They make plenty of money with this game so you would think their support team would be on top of something like this right? Wrong. They make plenty of money from this game so why help some random player who’s complaining about a glitch. Don’t waste your time or money and I hope you read these reviews before you download.

Fair Assessment; no bias!!! (Mobile Device User). The game is addicting and can help you to get through boring situations with ease. However if you want to be a stand out or at least formidable you’ll spend thousands. With that said, there are things in this game that they need to fix. 1) Lag 2) march speed button glitch around temples, buildings. It’s not visible once march starts or is off screen. 3) warning bell display glitch. Often red screen goes on longer then the scout or march. 4) the occasional inability to post battle reports in world chat. There are rallies from an unknown player not on any server competing yet being displayed in the watchtower bell area. 4) updates don’t change anything but events and sales packages. 5) they delay giving you consume rewards or achievement rewards and at times limited promotion rewards in order for you to spend more. At the same time, The same issues are always here. For example, you’ll receive teleport failures on an empty spot on the world map where you should normally be able to advance teleport to. With the amount of revenue this game receives you would think that you would fix these issues. And if you actually did youd make way more money in the long run. Keeping the glitches in order to motivate people to spend more due to a mistake or loss that occurred by no fault of their own is crooked imho. Thanks for hearing me out!!!

Poor Service - Poor Experience. The game is very glitchy. I have had my svs rewards go missing twice now. Mailed customer service both times to no satisfaction. My embassy reinforcement capacity suddenly changed one day. I mailed CS about this, stilling waiting on response. Boss Monster hunting parameters changed without notice. Again asked customer service to confirm, this waiting on answer for this too. I have other tickets in, now are getting addressed properly. They say to check my mails and/or restart the game. Typical deflection tactics. I am not a newb. I send screen shots and ask questions. Customer no service, they simply do not seem to care. My assumption is they are overwhelmingly in the negative for customer satisfaction. This customer is is extremely unsatisfied, that is fact. It’s a shame because the potential for an incredibly great game is so high, and it falls so amazingly short. The other reviews, and reviewers are correct, this game is a time and money pit. The amount of money spent in this game is obscene. Especially, when it’s compared to return. I’m talking upwards of $10k, and nothing for it, but a glitchy, stealing game!!!! This cooperation DO NOT CARE!!!!!! The truth is, you need to experience it to see the quirks for yourself, (omg, there are so many) and that’s the shame. My recommendation is to stay away, your life will be better for it.

The FUN stops the first time you get attacked.. I was enjoying this game, building stuff and making an army, sending my units out to collect resources and attack bandits and other npc units. I spent mist of a day working my keep to level 6 and researching and upgrading support buildings. Then I was attacked and I lost some resources, which is fine, but I lost the army I had been amassing all day in one attack. No thanks. That’s just not fun. On top of that I noticed global chat saying support for this game was garbage.?and soooo many things pushing you towards micro transactions. But really, I wouldn’t have deleted it except for my entire army getting wiped out by a much much stronger player. That just makes it pay to win, pay to shield etc… Clash of Clans is way more rewarding, even if you never buy ANYTHING, you don’t lose your army when a bigger player attacks you. So, I gave one extra star for the fun I did have, but getting attacked and losing your ENTIRE ARMY is not fun at all. Plus, too much micromanaging, why not have an auto train so I don’t have to log in to collect my rss and build my army… having to constantly harvest and click to make troops becomes a chore instead of being fun… though I might have held out longer if my army hadn’t been demolished by a much stronger player.

Unplayable. UPDATE: This game has become so bad that it is unplayable. Real support is non existent. Testing done in production environments. Failure to provide timely resolution to anything. Server reboots without warning. It is a waste of time and money. If there were negative stars I would give them. The only thing good is the players. Update: I have issued 7 tickets and no real attempts to address the problems have been made. Within 24 hours I was asked to tie my user id to my name and email account, which in some countries is a violation of privacy rights. The responses provided are not responses and are largely ineffective . The platform is very unstable and and cause significant real losses to those who have paid for in-game enhancements. I will not adjust this review until the ticket backlog has been meaningfully reviewed. I would also encourage those who have suffered losses to do the same. The negligence of the support team and defect rate in game is so high that the game developers should start over, or fairly compensate those who have suffered losses. Update 2 weeks and now have 13 unaddressed tickets relating to in game losses. All I have received is bot generated responses. These are sent daily around reset. At best I would would never spend a dime on the game and at worst not play it at all. I am only on now to await resolution to inform other potential players.

disappointing. This game has shown tremendous promise when I saw the advertisement while playing another game. The premise seemed fascinating...you solve pin pulling puzzles and earn material to build a kingdom. I was particularly interested in these puzzles. After of few of these levels I was enjoying myself. Suddenly I could not access any more levels until I preformed a series of tedious upgrades. Obtaining the materials is redundant and boring. Finally after mustering enough "materials" to unlock more levels the game only gave me access to a small handful of levels. The pointless and boring cycle of acquiring more materials repeats. This mind numbing exercise in futility has caused me to delete the game. This evening I saw a new add featuring those same puzzle levels. The premise of the ad was to say the game you see advertised was the game you get to play. potentially excited about this I immediately downloaded the game again onto my phone. unfortunately, it was the same premise as i stated before. i will be deleting this game and making a formal complaint to the apple app store. perhaps if you were to allow us to actually play the game you advertised customers like myself would not become to frustrated.

Fun but no support. If you like growing your city and the thrill of war then this game is for you. However, plan to spend some money ($10,000to $100k USD) if you want to actually compete otherwise expect to play for years and years or get crushed by much larger players. In addition, there are several frustrating glitches in the game that will cause you to lose a battle or wipe out your resources. Don’t expect customer service to reimburse you or even respond in any timely manner. In fact, don’t expect any customer service at all. To be transparent this is my main reason for the low rating. Timely manner definition to everyone is all relative and may vary. My example is 1 month and still no resolution to the server glitch that caused my problems. Customer service responded in a week and half after I wrote to them but only stated that the “developers” are looking into it, however no resolution or judgment for my situation has been addressed so far and I don’t expect in the near future for this to be resolved. Several members that I played with have quit this game in frustration due to Evony glitches and lack of support. Some members have spent in the range of thousands of dollars. Just know what you are getting into before investing time and money before you start playing. Happy hunting to all.

This game is 100% pay to win. Don’t get suckered into it. I started this game thinking it was a puzzle game. It’s not. The puzzle part of the game is less than 1% of makeup of the game itself. It’s a castle building PVP game that makes it super easy to get to level 20. But then each additional level exponentially costs more in game resources. For example. My level 30 keep requires 136days to complete. But there are daily packages that can help you buy speedups. So playing the game without money is possible if you don’t mind taking months to grow a single keep level. Meanwhile the game has server vs server battles. While it sounds fun, it’s super broken (I believe intentionally). I belong to server 1008. We were matched up with server 800 something. What does that mean? This server has several months head start. One alliance on that server has more troops and power than our entire server. That’s fair right! Many people on our server were zeroed (all our troops destroyed, costing months of time and resources). But that is what the game makers want. They want you to buy more resource packs to rebuild. It has been fun, I can’t deny that. But this current match up opened my eyes to the reality that this game allows you to enjoy it if you continue to pump hundreds of dollars into it to “pay to win”

Disappointed. The game at first is not what is previewed in the photos. The game requires a lot of time and for you to be spending each day playing it. Overall has a good system but the amount of work you put into the game can be taken away in a second by other players. Do not download unless you’re expecting to p2w. I don’t care if I get a comment back from the devs stating some bs comment. I believe this game is a waste of time and should be advertised as it really is not as a puzzle game. I’ve played for a month & I’ve logged in every day for the last month. I’ve only gotten to 1M in power until a KE event where someone decides to just target you and you lose all power within seconds. Then once your general dies you lose even more power. It’s ridiculous, I find this game as a dud! No good

2% Puzzles, 98% spending money to make a difference. Advertising stating that this is puzzle solving raised my interest, however the truth of this that it’s simply a game where you combat with other players, forming alliances etc. interesting game but overall it’s falsely advertised with the few puzzles which drew in all the little kids who are virtually toxic in the zone chat, this needs moderation. Heavy game imbalances where players who level 20 plus run roughshod over lower level players, suggestion would be to put a level limit in for example a 5 level difference between opponents. Extremely heavy money based game. You have to use diamonds to retrieve your catapults instead of allow other healing mechanics, simply it is made for the player to spend loads of money in the game to be competitive. I cannot recommend this game at all. You can play with out spending as you can get a few diamonds through your monster kills and achievements but overall the amount of advertising and best buys now are overwhelming. It’s just not worth getting involved with. Just remember the game is PvP and you will need to be aware of that from the get go.

Wow. The game is great, when you can get on! Three lots of maintenance downtime in a week, lousy compensation, continuous crashes, and laggy slow servers. The game itself isn’t too bad, but when you have an issue, customer service give you the run around, and you end up with no answers! I’m seriously thinking of giving the game away. There is no joy in trying to play and constantly getting booted, or things taking forever to load. Get your act together evony! Lots of people spend good money on this game, only to be disappointed day after day. Instead of fixing the lag issues, you just create more servers to say your greedy selves, you don’t care about the players. Never in all my years of gaming have I had crash and lag issues like I do with this game, and the more servers you make, the worse it gets! Shame on you 😡😡😡😡

Play your own game.. Lots of negative reviews here, I’ve been playing for years now and I don’t “pay to win”. It just takes more time and effort. Be careful, watch your shield doesn’t drop and build up ... if you do get attacked you need to remember it’s a war game, that’s the point!!! Don’t whinge, build up and get even!!! There are lag issues that are frustrating but it’s something they are working on fixing. The “bigs” problem is going to happen no matter what war game you play, my advice is be friends with the big guy and he will keep you safe, play smart !!! Overall a great way to pass time and chat with people all over the world.

Expensive. Great game but it is a pay to play game iv been playing for almost 2 years and have pumped thousands of $$ into my account you can play for free but it would take forever to grow and you wouldn’t get to enjoy all parts of the game, it’s particularly expensive as we in Australia are paying double the price compared to the rest of the world which would be much better on my pocket if it was a flat rate worldwide.. customer service well let’s say it’s non existent or they will blow you off anyways pointless to even bother… merging servers should happen more often as well.. so if your going to download the game be prepared to have your credit card ready otherwise choose another game most aren’t as money hungry as evony is… update… in the last 2 weeks my card has been charged 2x for each pack iv purchased I have contacted support and also provided proof eg copies of apple statements and bank statement and still nothing has been done I have noticed a few others are complaining lately of the same issue and again not resolved

Thieves and lies …support are muffins. After a month of showing support a error in game they told me technical department has reinstated my power but nothing but a lies …. After telling them no change they just stop replying and do nothing …. Here I am waiting for something they said was fixed but nope….. support staff are idiots … they don’t play the game or understand they game.. they give out wrong information and reply with stupid remakes ….stupid support … don’t think they understand the meaning of customer support. Your not treated like a customer and the so call support staff are clueless

Play at your own risk. I am writing this review because today is my last day of playing this game. I have been playing this game almost a year now. I am a big spender to this game. Build my city and grow it fast. The good thing about the game is the puzzles as it was also the reason I played this in the first place. Other than that, it is depends on the people in your server. Yes, this is a war game but war have rules. During Server vs Server time, my server kills their own server players instead of enemy server’s. They also use the opportunity to steal your sub cities when you can’t bubble as you are fighting other server’s enemy. Not only that but in this game, I see the worst personalities of people and due to inflexibility of the game to move server, I am only given choice either to quit the game or continue with the madness. Think carefully whether you want to play and invest your time and money only to find out you are in a bad server with people that has no ethics or moral playing in your server.

Customer service joke. Don’t spend money on this game, customer service is a joke, when the game breaks they simply give the same response regardless of the issue. Occasionally in the game they offer double up tokens and some weeks ago it simply didn’t work. They identified the issue and gave two tokens, however I had used four, I have now been going backwards with the customer support team for weeks asking for the items I was meant to receive. The response they give is the same very time. The responses they give to these reviews are identical to the responses they give when there is an issue, they simply don’t care.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS TERRIBLE. I have been playing this game for over a year, I enjoy it but customer support is terrible. A week ago they did an update which caused my game to crash unable to shield and everything got wiped. I spent over $100 on this game last week and all I requested was to be reimbursed the resources I lost and the resources and speed ups needed to heal my troops. They’ve done an update and fixed the issue but I have been contacting them for a week unable to participate in any events and they have done NOTHING! They take your money and don’t even fix things that are their fault to begin with it’s not right. Since writing this review they have closed my conversation as if I have never contacted them but I have screenshots. Absolutely disgusting

Full of online bully’s. Was in a group that then decided to align with another group (the decision of the leader). The new allies kept attacking my keep and stealing my resources. I mentioned this to our leader that was supposed to stop the attacks on my keep, but didn’t. When I finally retaliated and attacked back, I was kicked out of my group, then my former team mates started attacking me also. Had to keep moving my base all around the map to try to stop the constant attacks. Until I eventually gave up and deleted the game. Would love to meet some of these cowards in person to see what explanation they have for their bullying & cowardly behaviour.

Worst game now. I used to enjoy the game and trying to be competitive. Now, I don't know how to describe it. Upgrading a building alone will cost you heaps. This game will no longer be fair and competitive, it's going to be a game for major players only and the rest just spectators waiting to be plundered and zeroed in.........another unhappy active player Really more upgrade! For a business point of view you will run out of players and people buying packages. There are still a lot of players struggling to reach full upgrade to level 30 and now your going to introduce higher levels. Who will play this game now, rich and other players who probably works under your payroll. Well good luck!

Fun game but………. Really fun game. Biggest problem is that even though it’s great to grind away and progress , the balance has now swung to a money earning game for the developers. Unless you spend thousands of dollars, you will never be strong. Worse still, if you request support for game glitches, which are frequent, the game developers seem not to care. There is also a culture if online bullying and harassment on some servers. Numerous complaints gain no support from the developers. Join Evony at your own peril.

Not worth your time. If you want to be bullied and enjoy wasting your time and building up so that a selected few can attack your city and plunder your keep then this game is for you. There is no rule other than the selected group rule. An anxiety provoking game! The server 684 has a group by the name of of United beauty UN1. This group attacks all the other players in the server and plunder their keep. This group’s members protect themselves and pick on the other players in the domain. Within one day my city was attacked 3 times by these members and I lost everything. This happene d every second day UNTILL I gave up and deleted the game altogether. If you want other players to become sacrificial lambs to this MAFIA group, this is your game. Prepare to be sacrificed and loose everything.

Good game bad updates. Why is it with every update the game gets worse and worse, the glitches are getting to the point it’s actually painful to play and ready to give up, two maintenances in a row today! It’s bad enough that you make the events more complicated than they need to be, you haven’t got a good set up for the chats as in a chat room for the R4’s and R5,and you censored the private chats but not the main chats?!? What is up with that?!? Seriously go get someone on your team to have a look at the set up in TopWar and do your market research better cause if you want your game to survive and actually have people stay and put money into this than you need to fix your issues and you have major issues!!

The add is nothing but Lies … it’s a simulation game. Omg really developers you wanna msg me to say it’s the same as your add???? Your add shows nothing of the actual game only your mini games that are throughout your main game yet your advertising it as if it’s THE WHOLE GAME…. We both know it’s not like this at all your lieing to customers through your add then when people download it makes your download numbers look better…. Let’s see what the numbers are for download n delete!!!!! You wont do that cause you know I’m right and your using your mini game to fool people then they realise this n delete your bs life simulator game……They lie in the add it’s really a bs game with these mini games thrown in. Once you actually start to play it’s nowhere near like the add you don’t just go through levels killing things n getting gold that’s what they want you to think so you download just to find out it’s the same as every other game like it for example fishdom

Customer Support Comes Through.. I have had many occasions on which I have needed the customer support services while playing Evony. I’m not knowledgeable about online gaming, so my queries are usually resolved quickly by the excellent team. Try the game. You can play it like me, without spending money, for friendships and laughs.

Bad game and worst costumer service ever. This is a flash game. Very poor graphics (you can see the pixels!) and poorly designed. Full of bugs, and lags. Unfortunately, the game can also be addictive, so beware where you’re stepping. The packages are intentionally prepared in a way to hook you and rip you off. The customer service almost never answers. It's very likely that a Chinese company is behind it, so if you are concerned about your privacy, money and sanity, stay away from this stupid game. There are much better games and activities you can engage in instead. I regret every moment I played it.

It’s a good game. This is a good game and one that does reward vigilance. There is a lot of depth and things to join in on or not depending on your style of play. Yes, you can get attacked but you can prevent this with vigilance and staying on top of what is going on. If you expect to be able to put it down for a week then you can but it costs gems which you can get for free (slow) or for $7.99. The ads are a little deceiving in that they imply this is a puzzle game, it’s not really….yes they exist but it is really a war game or a farming game if you stay under a shield.

Fun but problematic. I’ve enjoyed making new friends and building in this game but has regular glitches. Which makes me nervous to make transactions. I went to purchase and it blipped. I had to wait a day to see if I was charged because I was locked out of the package implying I bought it and said payment was processed but I got no items. Then I raised a ticket in game with no response. Second time I purchased in game with diamonds, the game blipped, deducted the diamonds and never gave me the item. It’s frustrating and concerning.

Yet another strategy idler. You know the type, build a forge, wait 3 days for it to upgrade before you can do anything else so it can generate 60 more metal in a day. And about 40 other options and upgrades that make no sense. Designed so you get tired of waiting and purchase the currency to skip the waiting period and get the game on track to do something remotely interesting. And those puzzles you see in the ad. They’re so mind numbing basic and completely idiotic. The only reason for the download was to see how entertaining those stupid puzzles can be, and well, a one star review was all i could give. Now I wish that since I’ve actually downloaded and now reviewed the ‘game’, that all the ads that they’ve spent most their budget on can disappear. Your game stinks, it’s unoriginal, and not in the least bit entertaining. I feel sorry for anyone who was forced to work on it.

Worst customer support ever!. Steer clear of this game. I’ve been a long time paying customer but not any longer. If you ever have an issue requiring customer support you basically won’t get any. I logged a ticket due to an unknown person gaining access to my account. So a fairly serious issue! On multiple times I had to chase CS for responses with a gap in communication of 7 or 8 days being experienced on at least one occasion. By the time they finally did something about it my linked Facebook account has been suspended due to associated unusual activity so I’m now locked out of my account. Had they done something quickly (even within a week) as asked none of that would have happened To regain access I apparently need to provide quite a bit of personal information which I won’t do for privacy reasons. I can show a long history of purchases through the App Store which should be enough. Seriously. The way customers are treated is an absolute joke!

Long time player. I’ve been playing this game since Evony age 1. It’s not a puzzle game as advertised but a pvp war game. It still involves using your mind to work out how to grow and attack well. You can play without spending money. It takes longer to grow and you may never be as big as the biggest players but if you learn and put the effort in you can still be quite successful. Its quite addictive and like a lot of things in life the more effort you put in the better you get.

“It’s like in the ads”. That phrase can be misleading, only the puzzle portion of the game is shown in the ads and the in game version is down right horrible with what seems like 240p sprites, the game is obnoxiously crowded which makes it really hard to understand I only played this game for about a minute and I was bored if you feel that is way to quick to judge the game then don’t listen to this review. And also game developers. Stop with the abundance of ads, I get it you want us to play the game, but all your advertisements are just making us hate it more, thank you for your time. (Edit) wow an automated reply in the “flesh”, such a embarrassment

Lagging issues. At times I get frustrated with the game continuous lagging issues. Turns out that the problem may be due to the iPad that I am using. Different models behave in certain ways. The game freezes after about 10 seconds. Developers need to contact apple to ensure that they are providing the best performance settings to the game for all devices. Just like floppy disks, lagging issues in games should be a thing of the past.

Customer Support - terrible. I actually like this game, however, I am not happy with customer support. The other day my game became unlinked when I tried to get my brother to look after it due to work. I asked for support and it took 24 hours to get a response, then I followed every step that the support advised to relink the account, which was never followed up. After a number of months building the account I was not happy. I have made a number of attempts to communicate since and have been ignored. So in short, I like the game however the customer support does not exist and is terrible. That is my honest review.

Was fun.. I just come back after not being able to get into the game, now that I am back in I cannot do half the things, every time I go to do the events In the 6Th Anniversary I get booted out of the game, some when I try to attack monsters and again when I try activate generals and try and confirm that it has been done, you guessed it booted out of game again. It has nothing to do with my iPad, as Facebook uses more then this game and other game uses more then this, can you please fix the problems.

Evony new. I like the game only started playing because of the puzzles That was the hook then you couldn’t progress unless you reached a certain lvl then after lvl17 Viking it just said coming And for the kicker you get a message saying you failed to finish in the allotted time bit of BS if you ask me To progress and not get killed you need to spend money or end up as someone’s fodder..Don’t get me started on the “Kings Rules” that appear to change and are only used so they can bully the server no wonder so many stop playing at about lvl7 on ave.

Evony. I have been playing for a very long time and even though there have been glitches before I have stuck with it I grew and went up the ranks! I log in at least 6 times a day, early yesterday there was a notice that there was going to be an update and it would last a couple of hours so from 3pm local time I was not worried I was also protected but by 2am local I was still not able to contact and play yet this morning I went to log in only to find the app had disappeared! It is only a game however we meet other gamers online and it is enjoyable, IT IS ONLY A GAME BUT I WILL MISS IT! What have you done?

It’s ok. Game design is good and mostly smooth however it does have the occasional networking problem should this effect your log in time your losses will not be compensated, game tech support is very slow and normally unhelpful. Game is ideal for the bigger spenders, the more you spend the stronger you get, if you are prepared to spend a lot of time online you can achieve and maxed out castle in about 12-24 months with little financial commitment however some financial input is a must . Truth be told unless you spend you cannot compete at the same level as the coiners...

Great game but Cust support lacking. I’ve played a few years had normal issues lag, bugs etc same as all games. Recently due to Evony tapping into my card 3 times instead of 1 I’ve had to use the customer service. They pretty much blow you off, I was told to provide receipt I did then they were like if you got an issue talk to your payment provider. Mate you have my money? Either give me the goods or you refund me. So beware the customer service really is a don’t care kind of deal. The game itself is fun, lot too learn but if you grind you can be ok without coining. You’ll never be topside without it though there’s just too many that coin. Also once a ton reach the new level of k40 they will expand again make more money. It’s an evolving game has a lot of working parts but seriously the game itself is good. Just pray you don’t need to raise a ticket, the service is terrible.

Falsely advertised. I’ve seen this game advertised on a lot of different platforms and it’s pushed as “the real thing” as a lot of games falsely promote that they are primarily a puzzle-solving dungeon game which in the ads, laughably does not exist when you download. The biggest contenders are those mafia games, or especially that garden game that’s a reskinned candy crush color matching based game. Ironically, marketing team of this game has attempted to do the exact same thing but state publicly that they aren’t, when the harsh reality of it is that this is yet another empire/clash cheap mobile game that’s designed to take money from kids and the mechanics promoted in the advertisement are the secondary part of the game that’s soft locked behind paying for bases/buildings to upgrade. You’ll have around 10-20 minutes of gameplay before they start asking for your money to “skip through” as the game relies on P2P based progression. This is completely manipulative and reading through the reviews you’ll find many of the same complaints.

Not happy at all. Right so I had the game and was playing all good until lvl 23 or so mind you had to spend money to get there so got attacked several times and picked myself up and went on about it so I get the truce agreement and soon as it finished got attacked had enough of it and deleted the game advised my alliance about it and left the game get this 5 days after leaving had a bill for two items purchased that I did not make now I’m trying to dispute this and do not know how to contact developer as I thought this was a no subscription game what the hell man how do I stop this I can not keep going like this someone get back to me I have removed the app and still get a bill for a purchase I did not make not happy guys

I hate this game and it’s advertising. Never has advertising for a game so completely devoid of any enjoyment been some how more painful than the actual game itself. The company thinks it’s being clever by commentating on the typical mobile game ads where take some who’s been huffing leaded gasoline in a hotbox and ask him to do the puzzle equivalent of wiping, as well as the adverts showing a game that doesn’t exist and is not represented in actual gameplay. But somehow they’ve made me want to cave my skull in even more than before, having to wait an endless 5 seconds before I can skip, which is 5 seconds more than I need to see. In short, I hate this company, this game, and it’s advertising, and I feel sorry for anyone who had to work in this to make ends meet.

WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT EVER. I love the game and have been playing for around a year now. I’ve spent a few hundred dollars over that time to help grow my city and troops, a few weeks back I was locked out of my account and after 5 days of back and forth with customer support (it took them 4 days to reply) to get my account back I’ve lost over 55 million power, 100 million of each resource and of course the majority of my troops. Especially my t11’s, I’ve managed to grow back a little but I’m as weak as I was 6 months ago! I’ve asked to be reimbursed and sent them all my account details and screenshots of the attacks on my account whilst I was locked out as they asked. But nearly 2 weeks later and I’m still waiting to hear back from them, why I ask? They’ll take your money, but when it comes to compensation for their mistakes they don’t want to know you. It’s absolutely disgusting and I won’t be spending another cent on Evony, I hope most of you don’t either.

Evony. Great game and costly but customer support and the programming of this game makes it terrible. If your looking to start this game I strongly suggest to read the reviews and do your own research because it’s probably not worth your while at all. I see a lot of reviews how terrible customer support is and they are 100% correct. I have put quite a few tickets in and usually get a response in no less than 3 days. The game knowledge of customer support is way below standard. The programming glitches recently in the last two months has cost me millions in resources and all I get in return is about 10% compensation and the response from support turns it back on me as to be my fault which I can guarantee it isn’t as I’m seeing faults in the game you normally don’t see and I cannot explain why it does what it does as I’m not a programmer. I have spent a lot on this game already and I’m not spending another cent and will probably quit unless I’m compensated completely for the games errors / glitches. Profit before customers seems to be the companies motto. Do not download this game.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. ‘Evony is a LEMON ….” On every level! This isn’t a puzzle game, its a WAR game. All the developers want is your money. They don’t care about you or any problems you may have in the game, customer service might as well be non existent for the response you may be lucky to get from them. If you don’t spend you will be killed. The developers find every possible angle to make you purchase and if you don’t, well sadly ABSOLUTELY no point in playing at all! Having played this game for the past 5 years, the change in the money gouging is outrageous. It’s only competitive for those with deep pockets. Evony doesn’t want you unless you spend and spend BIG!

Not what the pictures suggest. So you start with a few puzzle games which quickly get boring then you get to what the game is actually about which is a war based game. It is very slow to start with and you have to go so slow which is super annoying. If you spend money you can get through the rubbish quickly but if you’re not paying you have a grind. The only way to succeed is through joining a big alliance. Then you can get decent rewards and increase your level to a stage where you can actually have some gameplay. But even then, there is always people who pay and you are no chance against them. They have stronger armies and you can’t compete. Overall, you can waste some of your time on this but if you aren’t bankrolled you aren’t going to reach the heights and after a while you just do the same thing over and over with little hope of anything new. You can’t win the prizes, you will lose if you try to battle and in the end the dollars win.

What customer support. I have spent thousands on this account, with issues they ignore you till you give up. I’m only here because of the money I have spent. I gave up on many customer support issues because they dragged it out for months. Don’t play this game unless you have big bucks and are willing to wipe the slate clean when they mess up - often. Don’t ask for my ID seriously you guys are a money making joke. Pitiful in games events, it’s just not worth it. They rely heavily on new players and make new servers non stop. But address issues, good luck with that

Addictive but expensive. It’s a great game but you pay to win, the service I am on is small and new so there’s only really 2 big alliances and there’s constant politics between the two. I hate how much you have to spend to get anywhere. The lagging is pretty ridiculous too. The few massive players on the server zero everyone as there’s no policing in what power/ level can attack another. There’s dead accounts everywhere too which is just a waste. I do enjoy the events but I think there needs to be more affordable options to play an make more generous gifts to keep people playing. A level 34 player should not be able to attack a level 24 player it took me months to get to my power of 41m and then 1 hit from one of the big placers and my power went down to 8.7 power - that was enough for me to quit the game.

Careful for the wifi lost fraud. I was addictive to this game till the wifi lost signal “ate” my over 30,000 diamonds, or maybe more than that. It’s not new for me that diamonds disappeared while being used to upgrade something, happened so many times, I didn’t make screen shot and got no idea about the lost amount before, earlier today, I charged the diamonds with several 5000gems packages try to speed up sth, the big red no wifi signal showed up, my gems suddenly became insufficient, then I charged again, and made screen shots before I started to upgrade, poor me, they got me again, this time, as a big game fan who spends tons of money on them, this game really destroyed my interest. I’ll keep these two photos and wait for in game customer support to reply my complaints, if they still deny and show me that no records of consuming gems in my account, I’ll do what I do, it is my customer right, no one deserves to be treat and fooled like this.

Same as other reviews - customer service terrible. Same as other reviews - it’s a bit of fun for a while. But it’s not very creative and lame in the end. Customer service is not just terrible - it is criminal. They take your money and just do not care. This game can be addictive and there are plenty of others getting hooked, so they don’t care about you. If you spend your money, you will lose it. Server glitches means you will be locked out at some point and you will be attacked and lose your stuff. All the five star reviews must be robots that never dealt with customer service. Have your fun and then get out.

Fun, addictive, but not a puzzle game.. “We all joined for the puzzles” but it’s not actually a puzzle game. That’s just a tiny insignificant function within the game. This is more like clash of clans. It’s definitely a pay to win game with many players spending thousands, so decide your budget beforehand and stick to it. But find a good alliance and you’ll have fun no matter what your budget is. Not a game you can play casually though. You’re going to need to log in and be active pretty much every day. Customer support is terrible, especially if you don’t coin a truckload. And the game should have usernames and passwords considering how much people spend on it and how much time they invest - not rely on links to Facebook and game centre which can fail or need to be changed for security reasons.

Very glitchy. I have paid real $$ to buy packages yet the app freezes & kicks you out all the time. It glitched on me 3 times while trying to upgrade a building & when it unfroze, i had lost over $11m in ore resources + many other resources. Not good enough. Customer support doesn’t get back to you. How will i be compensated for the money i have spent & the game has just stolen??? A response would be great but im not holding my breath

If you like glitches and no developer support. A great game when it WORKS. If you can handle constant glitches, malfunctions and a game with zero support from the developers when things don’t work - this is a great game for you. If you like throwing money at a game to gamble if it’s actually going to work - this is a great game for you. If you like getting the same cut & paste response from support regardless what issue you raise - this is a great game for you. If you like lag which then crashes so you lose everything and can’t compete in a battlefield - this is a great game for you. If the developers / back end support actually handled issues properly and fixes things rather than constantly attempting to get more money out of the players - the game would be sensational and in some form competitive on all levels. It can be a great game with a great group of people but again depends if players are kept account for their behaviors etc.

Really enjoy BUT…. I really enjoy this game made heaps friends and it helps relax. BUT ever since the last update I’ve been having major lagging issues which has costed me a lot for recovery especially in SW. The lagging and glitches seem to be getting worse each update. Please fix. Also customer support is really bad especially with dealing with troublesome players. Major issue that needs to be resolved.

Latest changes are bad. You used to be able to get truce agreements from the alliance store. And tributes and VIP points. Now the tributes and VIP points are capped and no truce agreements. Game is no longer accessible for F2P Update … so now Truce Agreements are in the Alliance Store but only once a week. And they are removed from the weekly shopping spree which is no longer gems. Also, my server has a bot player which is against TOS but despite multiple reports from many players in the server, the player continues their activity especially during Ymirs. Customer service is unresponsive.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. Do not download this game. You get stuck on one server and can never leave. If you get a massive spender they will buy multiple accounts, zero everyone, scout your bubble shield time left and be waiting for the second that it pops and developers will ensure you can’t leave and will not respond to mails. Unless you want to play pot luck and hope you get reasonable humans then you are stuck on that one server FOREVER. Do not do it! Someone’s advice was be friends with big guy and he will protect you. Lol. He will not! He needs your resources to grow! Zero customer service. Spent $5k and no help to leave bullies.

Greatly Improved. It may have taken a while, but Evony TKR have stepped up their game :) CS have been responsive, and helpful, when I’ve launched tickets. The new game content is interesting and its great to have new content! If you’re someone who hates P2W, game grinders, or is faint of heart- don’t play. Wanna have fun in a strategic war game, incredibly competitive & make good friends? This is a good place to start 👍🏼 Keep up the great work Evony! I’m glad to finally be able to give you 5*

Addictive but frustrating. I find this game fun when you get to build your space. It can be exciting as well when you get to a point when your alliance works all together. One frustration is when you take a break your team can disown you. You do not get their protection just because you are part of their alliance. You can also lose all what you’ve build with just one hit. It just shows the nature of human, they will bully and turn your back when on they get the chance. Ps this game is expensive, don’t buy if you are playing long term. It’s just a waste of money tbh.

Bad data tracking and ridiculous pricing. Having played this game the last couple of years (casually with only the occasional small purchase) if you want a better gaming experience buy a console! The amount some people spend to dominate the game is enormous! The coiners dominate this game through ego and negative gaming (destroying others in the server) or by spending ridiculous amounts to build strong keeps and multiple farming accounts. The amount these gamers generate for Evony makes the minimum scraps that are throw to the rest of the non coiners a bit pathetic not to mention the lack of support. You would think that the data collection would bring enough revenue to allow the developers to make this game equitable for those that spend a minimum.

Different from advertising. Just wanted to solve some puzzles like in the advertising, however it’s a different game looks like a strategy game . Uninstalled

bruh. imagine saying that you actually have the game in the ads to get money these guys tried to add a youtuber markiplyer and the quality isnt the same in the ads

False advertising. Ads indicate Evony is a problem solving game with no mention of the fact that it’s just a tiny part of a completely different game… The fact that the ad decries all the other fake ads is just pathetic. Not giving any money to you.

Here me out. If I hear this girl yell one more time about "THEIRS NO REAL PUZZLE GAME" ONE more time BROTHER IM TRYING TO RELAX AND PLAY SOME BITLIFE THEN SOME GIRL COMES OUT OF NOWHERE IM GONNA VOMIT if I hear her one more time😭👍

NOT AS ADVERTISED. In the ad it was a puzzle game and that was not true, this game it a pile of burning trash!

Can’t trust this developer. Like so many mobile games today, the ad shows something completely different to try to get you to download the game. In normal markets, this is called “bait and switch”, and it is illegal in many countries. If they lied in the ad, imagine what other unethical things they will do in the game to get you to pay. Evony has a long history of this. Their web ads for the web game pretended it was a sex game to get people to click. It was so nototrious that gaming press outlets ran stories about it.

Ads always lie. So it’s like that ad like “this game is actually what it is in the ads!” And I was like “finally a game like that to play!” And then you download it and it sucks and it is NOT what it is in the ads

This game is too much based around spending money. This game is hard to play if you don’t want to spend any money

Lying developers. You’re being pulled in by lying developers that promise puzzles, but it’s not a puzzle game. It’s a game run by developers that lie and create a game full of glitches that make you suffer losses in hopes you spend on the game. My friends and I suffered losses due to glitches and all the developers did was gaslight all of us when we reached out to customer support.

Luck of the draw. If you get on a good server and find a good crew you'll have lots of fun. There are so many games just like this one though and this one does allow server bullies who power up huge and just wreck everyone else endlessly. Ruins the fun and unless you're willing to pay big money, there's nothing you can do about it. I'm waiting for the 1000 and first game like this, that forces big money players to move up into a likewise server so the free players don't lose their will to keep investing time to be fodder for the rich.

customer support. I had a really bad experience with customer support they weren’t understanding and they do not answer in reasonable time . Somewhat really disappointed for a game oriented on is community and the people that spend on it. I feel they really let us down. I would not recommand. I have played other games that are similar and this wasn’t an issue My player ID is PapiChummy

Customer service is poor. Kind of scam in the way.. The game platform has a lot of glitches. Gamer suffering big loss because of it as it is a paid game. Purchase package got double billing. Talk to customer service, always claim needs more investigate. No answer or resolution. Problem never solved! Rewards from spending not get delivered. Just a scam gamer’s money. Got double billing again today! I received a bill with three charge for two item I purchase on the same day. You use four different days records to make up that invoice charge? Come on! Based from your reply. The situation is even worse! I have been billed individually for those packs on the same day or the following days. Apple state that they don’t send invoice/billing until push though from your end. So who is responsible? Same issue happened in PayPal as well.

Lack of customer service, immense glitches. I don’t recommend downloading. At this point I would give zero stars if I could. The game is a massive pay to win. It wasn’t always this bad, but it continues to get worse. The glitches in game are never ending. Instead of addressing known common glitches they would rather update artwork or add more mechanics that will also glitch. The competitions (BoG, BoC, BoCH) are decent… when the mechanics work as they should. When they don’t you’re zeroed almost immediately and have to decide if you should heal ($$$$think dollar signs for the company) or sit there and wait for it to be over. The cost to upgrade becomes astronomical and unattainable for the average player, however at this point they’re simply catering to the big coiners. Finding a good alliance and making friends makes some of the garbage tolerable. I still don’t recommend downloading the game… run far run fast.

False advertising. Your ads specifically call out games that falsely advertise as pull the pin puzzle games. This game gives you a couple of puzzles, then turns into some epically slow d&d campaign style game. Boring!!

Customer Support denies poor server stability.. Game constantly lags and crashes during SvS. Customer support does absolutely nothing to compensate for any losses claiming “developers didn’t notice any errors mentioned” Yet the entire server as well as countless other servers report the same game issues all weekend.

The adds are wrong. It’s sucks what the hell

!!!DANGER!!! Do not purchase. This app seriously messes up your phone. HUGE download when you first open it (very suspicious) Everything on my phone is slow ever since, even after deleting app.

False ads. False ads

Stealing money. Paid for a speed up package... took my money, but never gave me the speed ups!!! That’s called theft... fraud... not okay... has ruined the whole experience of playing the game. Before this occurred, I would have given five stars, but this is not okay. Give me what I paid for!!! It’s been days and I’ve been given the run around by customer service. Update: got a response from developer, but it was useless... nothing being done and pretending they don’t know anything about me... bs... total rip off... this game steals money!!!!! They have everything to correct this and they refuse to refund me my money or give me what I’ve paid for... theft... fraud!!!! Update: what a joke! They are lying about giving me what I paid for. I’ve given them proof of my payment and I’ve asked them for proof of giving me what I paid for... It’s been 11 days and I have not seen anything yet of what I paid for... scam, fraud, theft! Don’t play this game... they’re lying, stealing fraudulent developers with no respect for the players. 😡

Not as same as in the AD. Just make a good simple puzzle game. You will get so many users . We just need a simple puzzle game . That’s why we downloaded it. It is not what we see in the ad. . In our busy life we don’t have a time to play full game just to get to that puzzle game as I am 35 years old and need something simple that I can play in 2-3 minutes everyday. This could be a awesome puzzle game but you made it so complicated for everyday user. If we really need to play that big building empire game , we could have played it on pc. Not on mobile small screen. Your puzzle game looks awesome in the ad . I repeat “WE NEED ONLY THAT PART” I am sure most of the users also agree with me . Why don’t you make that one? You are losing millions of user because of that. Anyways Uninstalling this one . thanks.

If you enjoy dumping $ into a game THIS IS IT!. The game is pretty unoriginal. Same as any other of the same model. Give you just enough to get started but leave you in a position where you NEED to buy packages in order to progress. Once you are past the protective status of the lower levels, prepare your self to be raided constantly by players of higher levels. There is nothing stopping a player any level higher than yourself from raping and pillaging your base. It is a game that lacks strategy and relies completely on the player purchasing packages to survive. The little battles that one does daily to earn some of what is found in the ‘in app purchases’ is never enough and is (IMO) set up to push you to spend $. Now of course, you are able to play without spending a cent; but be prepared to lose everything and not be able to compete for literally days while your troops heal meanwhile your equipment (such as catapults and the sort) requires obscene amounts of gems to repair so good luck if you don’t have gems. If you enjoy spending unlimited amounts of ca$h to level up and/or protect/attack then this IS the game for you.

This is all fake.. The ads are fake and I have played the game for a long time and no where do I see anything close to what is happening in the ads. The developer will probably respond saying no but cmon we all know it’s using bits for good reviews. Also if the developer responds: he is a liar and should not continue making this horrible fake game.

Fake ads. They make ads of puzzles but then when you download it, it’s a generic base grinding game (like those zombie apocalypse games or clash of clans).

Do not waist your money. This games is very expensive and the rules are crazy. I have spent a lot of money on this game stupidly probably around $200 and they have set it up so you vacantly lose a massive amount of your wealth if you are attacked and to heal troops they want you to use the rest of your resources. It’s insane to spend so much money for such little return. The game also constantly crashes or freezes.

Poor poor. Did I mention poor Customer service. These people don’t know the meaning. You put dollars into this game and when they screw up and it happens far to often...glitches. They ignore you. Stay away. Do not put in money. Money Pit

Systemic Racism in Gaming. The game has no civilizations from Africa. I’m tired of this. Deleted immediately

Liars. It’s so dumb the adds say it’s a pull pin game but there lying 🤥

Customer service. Poor poor, had issues. Months and never taken care of , still working on it. Save time and money on this one . Rob And now adding again to review, gave game another chance, but loses generals and huge waste of time and effort. Save your money and time . So new day and week . Dealing with customer support and nothing getting done . Send screenshots told. Dont take screenshots with every action i do in game . Should so poor need to protect customer, game wont help fix problems. Rob

Same old, same old. It’s an ok game it’s just more of the same thing. Build and collect and wait, and wait, and wait and then get destroyed by someone who loves spending tons of $$.

Another Chinese switch and bait. This is not a puzzle game. Another switch and bait. Ancient feeling graphics. Standard grinder kingdom building. Boring. Glitchy. DISHONEST. Re:developer response. Another lie. Your game screenshots AND video only show puzzles while the boring grind is actually 90% of the gameplay. Deceptive. Try again Sparky.

Just creative theft. Evony is a very creative way that a company came up with to legally steal people’s money. If you buy a new TV from a store and they break it while bringing it up to the cashier, they go get you another TV and eat the loss. Here is how Evony would handle that: You buy a new TV and they break it while bringing it up to the cashier. The devs will offer you $100 back (if the TV cost let’s say $5,000) and tell you that if you would like you can buy another one while proceeding to load up your broken TV that cost you $4,900 after the ‘compensation’ without even batting an eye. They also won’t be able to wrap their heads around why you don’t want the broken TV and $100 back and just want what you paid for before they screwed up lol!!!! This in a nutshell is what Evony does on a daily basis to 99% of its customers.

Lame, not as shown, etc, etc.. I saw the ads for this game when playing a different game-didn’t we all? Anyhow, I figured that the game would most likely be entirely different from how it was shown and a borderline scam. But I like reviewing games (especially less-than-perfect ones), so I figured WHY NOT. The first thing I noticed was that while the puzzles shown in the ads are (sort of) part of the gameplay, the quality-even on the highest graphics setting-is waaay worse than shown. The puzzles are also either way too easy, or a pain in the backside. There are flash games that are better. 5/10 for graphics (Worse than the ads) The *actual* gameplay (upgrading stuff, fighting, etc, etc) has (IMO) way too many different mechanics and gets super confusing. The voices for the NPCs are really creepy ngl; they seem like they are tts bots. 4/10 for gameplay. (Boring, confusing) And don’t get me started on how dang infuriating it is that this game wouldn’t mute the freaking volume! When I mute my sound, I expect to hear nothing, so why was I hearing (seemingly full-volume) game sounds??? 2/10 for audio. (Wouldn’t mute with Bluetooth headset, derpy NPC voices) Okay, now, the (second) elephant in the room: bot reviews. Yeah, it’s really obvious. Next to nobody uses their real name in App Store reviews, but all the bots do AND it’s always a first and last name AND the names are always properly capitalized. Admittedly, whatever AI writes the fake reviews is pretty well done, so props to whoever wrote that code. 1/10 for coolness level. (But 8/10 for coding skillz) Also: scamminess level. (Idc that that’s not a word.) Medium-High. It wasn’t too crazy, but did try to trick me with sneaky wording sometimes. Be on your guard. Too long, didn’t read: 5/10, lame, don’t waste your time. EDIT: ok, nvm, the sound not muting isn’t a problem with the game, it’s something else. The NPCs still sound like evil robots, so my sound rating stays.

Support is slow. They are very slow to respond to reports of players using racist, inappropriate or adult/mature remarks, comments and chatting on their chat system. They claim to have a system to investigate but allow the offending player to continue violating the rules while they “investigate” as opposed to lock their account while investigating. Do not let your children use this app until they can improve this process. UPDATE: it has been over a week since I reported several players using very racist, mature, and inappropriate language in the chat as well as engaged and behaviour that goes against the terms of service of the game yet the developers refuse to take action. I guess profits are more important to this developer than ethical action. NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN

So much games like this and it’s not any better. It’s funny because I stopped playing once it started

NOT AS ADVERTISED. The game is advertised like a pull the pin type game but the game play is nothing like that and in the adds they say “you know those adds that are nothing like the actual game” that is literally this game DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Laggy. Fun game, but customer support sucks and the server lag is horrible!

Not at all what the ad was advertising. Not at all what the ad was advertising. I wanted to play the puzzle game where you remove the bar to free lava, water or monster in the right order to access the treasure, not some kind of strategy ressource/kingdom management game. It seems like what was shown in the add is some side mini game you do… very deceiving add. EDIT (after developper response) Sorry but this is a crappy response. Yeah sure you have put a tiny little bit of what you showed in the ads in your game, but it is not representative of the core game play at all. It’s two very different type of game play. That doesn’t interest the same kind of players. It is still not an honest ads. People who saw the ads and clicked on it wanted to play a puzzle game and have absolutely no interest what so ever to explore your adventure grinding game. Not at all. Be honest in your ads and you’ll attract people who might really enjoy your game instead of getting deceived by a false representation.

In game charges multiply by 4. Be wary of their In-Game charges for every 2nd time that I buy one set of gem package they have billed my account 4 times. I enjoy the game but not when it feels like you have a car payment... I mean really this is outright fraudulent thievery.

Don’t Play This Bad Game. The program is buggy and is designed poorly. A recent city contest bug and many players got screwed by developers. Developers chose to NOT do the right thing to correct their mistake. Terrible customer service. Horrible translator interface. Greedy developers just want money. They will reply nicely to this review. It’s fake. They pretend to be nice because they know you read this. They don’t care. They want your money and if there’s a problem caused by them, too bad for you.

Rubish and SPAM. All commercial about this app are lies. They didn’t bother translating it from Mandarin. Used it 3 mins and crashed 2 times. Don’t waste your time

FALSE ADVERTISING! Nothing like the ads. We have laws in Canada about false advertising. Reporting to on the store and the Federal Government for breaking “Truth in Advertising Laws” in Canada.

Not a pull the pin game. This is a build, wait, collect, battle game with a few puzzles. The devs will tell you it’s a pull the pin game and if you complain about that they say that pull the pin is in there. Which it is, barely. So I downloaded it just so I could say, IF YOU WANT A PULL THE PIN GAME, SEARCH PULL THE PIN IN THE APP STORE. ITS THE EASIEST WAY TO GET THE GAME THEY HAVE ADVERTISED. I just see so many complaints and although I don’t play either of these types of games the deceptive adds drive me up the wall. Why would they not just advertise what they have because they might actually interest people who might actually want to play their game…

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. This game is garbage I saw the ads and it said that there were no real puzzle games in the world and that there’s were, but when I downloaded it it gave me one puzzle and then it made me build buildings and level stuff up and when I kept playing, the second I restarted it it tried to make me spend money it’s all the same garbage as the other games just like this, the game is 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Evony stay away. This game is horrible because the developers just want your money they do not care about the hackers in this game your account will be hacked your Facebook account will be hacked your info will not be safe.....

Reviews are done by Bots. Be Aware, review seems to be done by bots, alot of 5 star with generic name and empty word. this is a intense Pay to win game, period.

fraud -never install. worst game and its a paid game.dont install

Total rip-off. Fake ads, no customer support - don’t download this game

Support Doesnt Care for Non-Pay2Win Players. A player was selling out the entire server to the enemy server during Server Vs Server event by telling the other server what the tactics and plans are and this is considered cheating based on game rules however because the player doing this is a Pay2Win player, support/game devs dont care that the game is ruined for the rest of the entire server!

Another Bullying Game. It’s another disappointing game where you enjoy building your game and then get destroyed by bullies with bigger cities that destroy what you’ve taken time to build. Creators should institute limits where you can only attack a city within the same rank so there is a chance for each to survive. Deleted!

Not fun if you want puzzles, or don’t like PvP. The ads promote the puzzles, and there are some to start but after about a week there are no more puzzles. The big downside of this game is that is really no way to not participate in the PvP aspects of the game. There are days where you must attack other players to gain points. If you are a minute late in renewing the truce agreement that prevents PvP then you will be attacked by other players. If you don’t like PvP this is not the game for you.

In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Addictive , engrossing. Very good graphics and gameplay. Very few glitches in the game . Constant updates and changes (for the better). The game is addictive. There are games within this one to get involved in - or not. It does occupy your time and gamers brain. It DOES cost money to play. It is all about building to reach a certain level - unfortunately this bar keeps getting raised . There is no winning or losing this game. The high rollers, or big spenders are always going be ahead and unless you spend A LOT, You are not going to even catch up - much less be one of them. It also hooks you because you spend five or ten dollars a week and next thing u know you have been around awhile and put too much in it to quit. You also must constantly tend to your city. - if you don’t , your shield goes down, ur city is attacked by other players and in effect destroyed - costing you much time and more money to repair. There is no putting the game on hold and returning later - would be nice to be able to.

Don’t bother. This game has a real problem with its basic set up. Mainly, anyone can attack anyone no matter what their power level difference. Today alone I was attacked 9 times by a group where just ONE of the members had power of 65million, while my power is just 400K. And there were 3 others attacking too. Since I’ve only been playing a couple weeks I'm a newbie, but I end up spending all my time, money and resources fixing my city and healing troops. This same type of attack happened a few days ago and I spent 2+ days healing my troops, then I finally get them going again and somebody else annihilates them ALL. What’s the point? I’m part of an alliance, but these MUCH bigger alliances just slaughter all the newbies. The weird part is that they don’t really even get much reward because we don’t have anything to steal. It’s like a pro boxer beating up a 5 year old and stealing his half eaten sucker. I guess if you hang in there long enough, you too could become a newbie killer. Aww...such a lofty goal!! Okay, I’ve ranted enough. If you’re the kind of person that loves to burn ants with a magnifying glass or pull the wings off butterflies, this game’s for you! For the rest of you, I’d look elsewhere.

Great game buuut….. This game is great in your down time and fun with all the events but like many other reviews that have been left this game is pricey… honestly probably OVER PRICED! I’ve spent my fair share and I just started playing less then a week ago.. To the developers you really should think about how unobtainable you have made it to get the VIP points without spending money and that sorry of an excuse 100 VIP book is basically nothing with how many Alliance points you have to spend on it just to get ONE …. We all know getting ppl to pay for things is all part of the game but too keep it enjoyable for your players is a must! Keep it wide spread but don’t make it so we have to spend thousands just to reach a different title in the game be smart developers be smart ….or you’ll have ppl that join the game but stop once they have to spend over $500 just to make being a knight or which ever title they want to achieve… even for me to make it to just the Baron title I had to spend over $350..

WARNING. THIS GAME IS NOT FOR CHILDREN! It should come with an R rating! The language and the verbal bullying on the server that I am on is insane, the other day I saw on the world chat where one individual wish that someone’s family would die, and that is mild.. I don’t know about you but I don’t think children should be witnessing anything of that nature, I’m an adult and I asked the support team to move me to another server because I do not want to be a part of this, their solution was for me to give up almost 2 months of work at a level 23.. kill my keep and start over on another server, I guess they’re fine with cyber bullying an insane behavior … seems that way to me if that is their solution, If you have any children 17 years or below that you suspect is playing this game remove it immediately for their own safety.. because the support team does not care about the welfare and safety of the players.. If they did they would be more accommodating to individuals who want to play in a clean environment, it’s all about the streaming time and the money Respect.

RIP Evony. It was fun while it lasted. Evony died today for most users. It was inevitable. As a pandemic distraction it’s been great. Immersive and community based, with opportunities to chat with alliance members all over the world. While the most powerful players spend literally thousands of dollars, it has been possible to strategically carve out a role without breaking the bank. No more. As the arms race progressed, the biggest spenders have maxed out the game and achieved parity. Top Games has done the only logical thing and added a new level, one that will require more than double the resources of the previous maximum level, literally 5-10 thousand dollars, to attain quickly, and some will do that. Once they do, they will be able to smash any other player without concern for consequences and inflict damage that will cost thousands of dollars to recover from. If this sounds like fun to you then have at it. Most players I know aren’t in a position to spend that kind of money. I understand the strategy, and Top Games’ attempt to extend the life of a highly profitable revenue stream, but sometimes it’s just over, and Evony has reached that point.

Do Not Spend Money on This. I was quite enjoying this game until a few moments ago. An opposing player literally one billion times stronger than me utterly wiped me out. This is not an exaggeration. My strength was 1.4 million, the other player was 1.4 BILLION. Therefore anything you spend improving your position in the game can be wiped out, and probably will be because of this inequality. I don’t expect to win all the time, but a disparity of one billion is beyond the pale. This cannot possibly be defended on any grounds resembling morality. This is naked, vicious greed on the part of the developers. Spend your money at your own risk, and do not say you were not warned. UPDATE : As you can see from the developers non-answer, put money into this game AT YOUR OWN RISK. Despite the allegation from the developer, I have spent money on this game. This is why I was furious at having it wiped out in an instant from an attack from which there was absolutely no defense and no way to mitigate. There is no moral or ethical defense for letting such massively lopsided attacks happen. I will be deleting this game from my devices and it will never be reinstalled. You would be wise to do the same.

This is NOT a puzzle game!. Not only does the picture for the app look stupid, it’s also deceptive. This is not a puzzle game, it’s a strategy game. Evony, if you want advertise the puzzles in the game then MAKE MORE PUZZLES!!!!! I’ve finished all of mine up to level 17 because you haven’t made any more. And seriously!? You call these puzzles? At least make them a little more difficult and the rewards more valuable. It’s pathetic! Please make up your mind what you’re going to decide to make this game and stick with it. Fixing the lag in the game would be nice too, but no one on the Evony team seems to understand what that means. When you figure these out, I’ll give you back those 2 stars. Otherwise, I suggest you start paying attention to what loyal players are asking of you and spend less time asking us to invite friends to play and spending more of our money. I HATE the pop-up ads! 😡 I’m just about done with this game. If it keeps going the direction it is now, I’m deleting it and moving on to spend my money elsewhere.

Don’t Bother With This Rip Off. I play this game only because I have made friends. It is not a game you can make up for not spending tons of money by being very active. You will need money and a strong alliance to be competitive at all. There are constant bugs, glitches and lagging in the game that can cause you to get zeroed. Evony makes no attempt to fix any problems or to provide good customer service. They really don’t care about players because they are constantly creating new servers and enticing new players to join. To be clear- CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WORST OF ANY GAME EVER. When they screw up an event and cause players to lose millions of troops, they will not reimburse for any losses their crappy app has caused. It’s one thing to lose all your troops and resources to an opponent; it is a war game. But, when it’s done by the game, players should be reimbursed. You will never ever hear from the developers. If you can get a reply from customer service it’s usually an automated “we’ll forward this to the devs”, then no further responses. Lastly, this is a war game. It’s not a puzzle game as they seem to be misleading people to think.

Not a puzzle game + kinda sexist. I downloaded this game for the puzzles they advertise but 90% of it is war, building things, waiting for dialogue…. And very little puzzles. Maybe it was the culture I chose but every person in the game refers to me as “my liege” and I got tired of that bc I’m a woman. Would be nice if the game didn’t assume I was a dude. Played for a couple of days and deleted it. Don’t waste your time. Unless you are a dude wanting a game about war and building things, and don’t mind supporting an app that’s sexist and employs false advertising. They even had the gall to run an ad saying they aren’t “one of those games” that isn’t what you expect when you download it, while showing only puzzles in the ad! Edit in reply to Ebony’s response: I’m not talking about in game ads, I’m talking about the ad you run where there is literally a guy saying this isn’t one of those apps that isn’t what you expect when you download it…. And then it is literally one of those apps. False advertising. Like I wouldn’t even be mad (outside of the casual sexism which you didn’t address) if the game advertised itself as being what it is, showing the battles and building etc. but it doesn’t - it advertises as a puzzle game which it is not.

FALSE ADVERTISING!!!. Kind of funny when the entire premise of your ad campaign is “Tired of games not being like what the ads show? Well I found a game that is exactly like the ads…” this game isn’t AT ALL like the ads show. The ads show a character trying to get a treasure without getting burned or drowned or slashed by some monster, by having to solve puzzles but inevitably make a stupid decision and ends up losing said treasure or dying. Towards the end of the ad dozens of different scenarios flash through the screen. That portion of the game looks fun and challenging and is something I’m interested in. What I’m NOT interested in is a game where I have to pick a side and build up an army for conquest, an aspect of the game that isn’t shown in the ads IN ANY FORM! And if this game is like every other game promising challenging mini games, those shown mini games aren’t even present or impossible to get to, or you have to pay real world money to access. I downloaded the game and immediately deleted from my device when I found out what type of game this is. And have tried for three days to post this review but had to do it from a different device.

I’m enjoying the game, but…. I’m enjoying the game, but I have a couple of criticisms. First, there seem to be no instructions. I’ve been playing for over a month and am still flailing around. Second, a great deal of the game deals with empire building, although that isn’t explained in the ads, but I’m enjoying that part, to my surprise. A huge part of that deals with battling monsters and engaging in various contests and battles, none of which are explained. Plus, beginning players are put in teams that can’t participate in battles or alliances, which form a large part of the action, but there is no information how to remedy that by either changing teams or bettering the current team. So, for the time being, I will play incrementally and try to figure things out. I did get to battle (and defeat) my first actual monster today, as opposed to just defeating roaming bands of disgruntled humans, such as “dark warriors” or “bandits.” Of course, it was just a Cranky Snowman and I can’t defeat a level 4 Snowman without an alliance, which I can’t get, but, still, an improvement.

VERY UNHEALTHY, ADDICTIVE GAME!👎. At first u think it’s about puzzles, then you find it is nothing about that. You try to build a city that is easy at first then you get to a certain level that if u want to grow faster it’s gonna cost you along with living in a bubble! After playing on two alliances in two different servers the cycle is the same, you find yourself getting lured into a game that lets you talk to others in your alliance chasing the endless rabbit down the hole, trying to become bigger. While the whole time you see people including yourself playing several hours a day some seem to never check out at all. The game developers made over $230 million in 2021, I talked to players that spent several hundreds up to $1K to grow in the game. I choose to play for free but my time can’t be reimbursed, for that is gone and wasted. Before you know it your real world is gone being consumed by this game and living in your bubble world! If you Google Evony reviews on the web you will see more articles and horror stories about this game! So do yourself a favor and don’t fall into the trap of this game, get up and get your life back and go enjoy the real world! 😁

This game is a huge scam - stay away. Evony made over $200 million USD for its Chinese parent company last year. Don’t believe in all of these fake ads about the game being free. Customer Service is a joke. Be prepared to spend lots of money and experience lots of glitches and then be completely ignored by Evony to get any compensation or resolution. All of the responses they seem to post here to players sharing similar information and acting surprised is all fake. Most of the positive ads on here are all fake and have been posted to boost Evony’s ranking. They try to create this façade of being a great game with great customer service that is free and it is all fake. It’s just one big scam. I have played the game for several years now and am a VIP 25, the highest level you can reach in the game. They’ve done a very good job of making this game addictive like any drug. Watch videos online of some of the biggest players in the game like King Singh, and you will see the truth. I would rate it as zero stars except I have to put at least one in order for this review to post. If you read elsewhere online, you will see that the addictive nature of this game has destroyed many lives. Stay away.

They Lie Puzzles and Money Issues. I came to Evony for the puzzles, but the type of puzzles shown are not in the game. The game is a PVP game with SIM. You build a castle, get troops and attack both monsters and other players. The problem is although this can be enjoyable, you will never be a competitive player unless you literally spend $100s of dollars each month. Numerous plays just on our server (one of thousands of servers in the Evony universe) have spent over $10,000 on Evony just to be competitive! The Evony Programmers make it impossible for a player to be even slightly competitive unless you are a serious coin player. On good online games, significant time playing the game more than makes up for spending a lot of money. Not with Evony! If you just want the SIM aspect of building a castle (but getting constantly attacked until you become powerful enough to continually purchase a one or three shield) this game can be fun. Otherwise players leave the game disgruntled for constantly being attacked and having their resources stolen. Probably over 2/3 of the “players” on my server are now NPCs whose players have left the game, and their Evony avatars remain doing nothing and these NPCs are not replaced with new players.

Revised review after over a year in game play.. Still 1 star! Honestly would love to give it 0 stars. There is one simple reason this game deserves 0 stars, customer support. Over a years time I have had a few issues with the game. Every single time cs says to bad or my favorite there is no issue here to address. I sent in ss of a problem before and they told me that crap. How can you argue with photo. The most recent was a glitch in a battle we had. The game for some reason said we only had half the amount of troops then we actually had. This led to us losing a lot. When we addressed this with cs again to bad we are not going to help. This puts customers in a very bad position. On one hand you have a fun game with only minor issues. On the other hand when there is an issue cs is just horrible, I mean horrible. The best I can say is if you are looking for a well thought out and put together game. Filled with mostly nice people to have fun with and p2w is there but not awful then this is your game. Just be willing to either not coin or coin and know that cs is the worse and you will be upset at some point thinking “why did I support this game with real money!”

Money Pit crap service. This game is most unhealthy and can be addictive. It draws you in as if it’s a puzzle game. It is NOT! Except for the first 10 minutes of setting up a new account, you can FULLY ignore anything to do with a puzzle because it will do you zero good. It’s imperative to join an alliance BUT!! Scope out how crazy whatever server you are on FIRST before you grow too big OR 3 days time. THEN you are stuck on whatever craptastic server you land on. Ooh and now the $$$$ because try as you might. You will NEED to spend OR play 24/7 to keep up with competitions and HOPEFULLY win.. a few gems or enough to at least buy a bubble for KE/SvS weekends. Beware!!! The game generally CRASHES on the weekends.. so.. if you don’t have a bubble or DARE to you know PLAY this war game.. if you’re caught when the game “glitches “ you can kiss your investment goodbye. And guess what.. you probably won’t get compensated. The devs don’t give a crap. They keep releasing more and more “updates” but NEVER fix the myriad problems that happen constantly. Don’t get invested in this game unless you have pots of cash and/or VERY strong mental health. It’s not for the weak of spirit, some of the players are ruthless and will say and do anything. NO whiners allowed.

Good Concept, Poor execution. When I began playing, the game was entertaining and addictive. They began adding more and more bells and whistles in the late fall of 2021. Cool stuff, but they do not appear to have realized how much additional infrastructure they need to support the enhancements. Recently, it has become very slow and you frequently end up timing out and getting red bars. Unfortunately this typically happens when you are in the middle of an attack, so you end up losing resources and troops. Customer Service is unable to provide information or correct problems. Their response is usually to ask you to provide proof. Yes, I frequently record every step that I take in a game so that I can go back and see when I built troop 2,647,812… If you start playing you may find yourself spending more than you ever thought you would. I would suggest that you wait for at least a month or two (from February 2022) to see if they have figured out how to make the game run more smoothly. It is a great concept, they just have not dedicated the resources to make it run smoothly. Reduced the rating because Customer Support has gotten even more ridiculous with their requests.

Waste of time. Don’t bother with this game. Besides the constant annoying loot drops in ridiculous numbers (Oh another 124 art chests for one day of battles yawn), the game has no balance in PvP. Buying and using teleports for cities is dirt cheap. So a common tactic for well established players is teleport near a group of cities with lower tech, smash them with your unbeatable troops to steal and plunder resources, teleport away before anyone can do anything. And a level 24 player can attack and level 20 and destroy all their troops and take no damage due to the leveling differences. The ONLY way you can play is spend your gems to keep buying “truce” agreements so you can’t be attacked. Of course those cost WAY more than teleports. So eventually you either have to buy gems or basically become a seal to be clubbed over and over. It’s all rigged with no balance and unless you spend money to keep your defenses up (so you toss away half the game to avoid being a seal) or spend money to speed up development to equal players who have been there a lot longer (so lots of money) you have no hope of competing in the game.

Ads lie! It’s not what they claim!. All I want to do is solve puzzles! I don’t want to build farms, academies, cities or alliances. Not interested in battles or heavy breathing cowgirls in shorts! I just want to solve puzzles! The ads don’t show you the truth…as usual. By the way, why is that all monsters in every game look like they are out of breath? and busty women look like they have COPD and likewise can’t breathe properly either? Extremely annoying! Dear Developer: Your canned response to similar reviews like mine is not only more annoying than the game, but shows that you are not understanding the complaints at all! Your ad shows ONLY PUZZLES (pull the stick) and nothing else. We find out out at download that we have to “explore the game or we miss something”. I DONT WANT TO EXPLORE THE GAME! I ONLY WANT TO SOLVE THE STICK PUZZLES. Which words are you not understanding? There are tons of reviews here from people who are NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE STICK PUZZLES! Again, you ad about other misleading ads is also misleading by not telling us that we have to do other stuff we are NOT INTERESTED IN to unlock the puzzles! Please respond more intelligently, no canned response again, okay?

No customer service. 5 minutes after I right this review the developer will response trying to be the nice, while customer service issues go unanswered for over a week! Also reading many answers to the reviews while the developer claims to be able to progress and achieve high level without purchases. Will mr. Developer I invite you to do the maths: to achieve mid level in the game which is VIP level 16 a player needs 1.9 points. If a player played all day and night until they get crossed eyes no way they can get 1000 points per day but if we assume they do that is 350K point per year which means in 6 years they might get to level 16. The top VIP level is 25 and needs 77M points, each $100 in purchases gives 25,000 vip points which means to get to level 16 a player would need to spend close to $8,000 and to get to the top a player needs to spend a whopping $308,000!!!!! You guys are just unethical and in decent with how you answer these review, no issue just say this is the cost to get to the top and players should take it or leave it but to go on how someone can progress without purchases is wrong and deceiving!

Unfairness in game. Evony could’ve been a good game if the developers put a little more effort into it. The game is coin to win, which is the basis for all games nowadays so that’s okay. What isn’t fine is that after you spend $200k in this game the customer service support is close to non existent. We are currently in the season for Chalon and evony just fked out chance to qualify for top 16 because they do not know how to run a tournament. To qualify too 16 the team would need to win all their match ups and have enough points, but When Evony give you poor weak match ups you will win but you will never have enough point to qualify for top 16 which means you lose your chance to fight in the finals. People have spent hundred thousands and are capable of qualifying to fight with the top teams but because of Evony’s incapability to run a tournament most of the top teams who’s spent a lot of money can no longer fight in the finals. I don’t recommend anyone new playing This game because it’s an endless pit and you’ll be spending more money than you ever think you will. And on top of that Evony opens a new server like every other day and completely forget about the older servers so Better to stay away

Glitches cost you and the developers don’t care. I’ll start by saying the game is fun and while people who spend big money grow faster and can be bullies it can be lots of fun still. The part that’s the greatest issue for me is that the game is very glitchy. For instance, twice in one weeks time I had enabled a shield only to find out that while the timer had changed like it had been restarted, it stopped activating when the origional timer ran out. Even after making a tech support ticket I was replied to once with no further efforts or contact to compensate me for the game glitching and causing the issue. The one message the developer/support team sent me admitted that it was an issue with the game. The moral of the story is so far that they don’t care if the game causes you to loose half your strength and resources, although I still hold out hope they address the issue and compensate me for the games issue that caused myself and others in my alliance such major losses. I’ll hope that this review catches their eye more than the 20 un responded to messages I’ve sent.

4.8 stars is NOT an accurate rating! Only fun if you pay and can bear the lag. Evony has some of the best mechanics in its category but is almost unplayable and is not really a “free” game to play. It has terrible lag at the worst times. It usually happens during battles and has lost me hundreds of thousands of troops because I could not maneuver them properly. The pay to play is very obvious once it takes over a year and a half to upgrade a single building or someone has T12 troops a couple weeks into the server making them untouchable for months to come. It’s a real shame since they would have an absolutely amazing game minus the lag and pay to play. Evony has and continues failing to take proper action on fixing the problems within their game and continues to open new servers. I would be the biggest fan of this game if they took their customers seriously and made the necessary fixes. I promise you the 4.8 star rating is not a legitimate or accurate rating based on the many complaints I’ve seen on their Facebook page, comments on their posts, groups and people in my realm. I ask you to check for yourself so you realize how big this problem is.

Really not that great after a little bit. The puzzles are fun, but different kind of game than what the ads showed. I haven’t spent a dime, but the experience for people who drain so much money into this game vs people who don’t and try to keep up casually is too different for this to really be worth the time and energy. Community reminds me of those middle school bullies where if you don’t become a part of their clique, they really give you no chance to just enjoy the game yourself. Being a war game is one thing, but putting others down in the chat and teleporting multiple times just to constantly attack when their power is millions ahead of yours, which then you have to either spend money or way too many resources into reviving your troops and even hope to get back to where you were, isn’t worth it for just some puzzles. Unless you’re ready to dedicate a bunch of your money or all of your time and energy into this, there are other puzzle and strategy games out there. Don’t make the same mistake I did thinking you could just play and do puzzles :)

Needs major improvements. I played for two years as an occasional spender. Initially I had a good time, met some cool people from around the world, and grew my happy little city. But over the course of two years I began to experience frustration with the game itself: the servers would lag horribly during SVS often resulting in attacks/gameplay freezing and even crashing the game. Countless times the game wouldn’t even launch due to server issues. The other frustration was the game leans heavily to high spenders - no surprise, that’s where the profit is. However, even events that were initially free to play gradually became pay-to-play, meaning the rich get richer and the rest are out of luck. So I’m out. I’ll miss the friends I made over the past couple years but the game demands too much while offering too little - and there doesn’t seem to be any hope of changing that dynamic. UPDATE 02/28: Typical of the developers of this game - rather than reading & understanding my review, they’ve copy & pasted a response that has nothing to do with my issues. On top of that, they then spam 5 star reviews to push honest reviews out of sight.

Boring and repetitive. Game is doing the same things over and over again. Build, train, research, recruit, rinse and repeat. Oh, and every now and then, someone who has been playing longer, has more troops, better generals and stronger troops attacks you and half of what you have done gets obliterated. There is no tutorial, in game chase events are designed to get you to spend actual cash so you can compete. Every screen change an ad pops up for what ever “great” booster pack you can purchase. If you are not strong enough you can’t get into an alliance strong enough to help protect you. So you get the snot kicked out of you some more. And game is designed so you have to attack other players to get full rewards. The further along you go the longer everything takes. Building a “KEEP”, the key to being able to build everything is fine, but the upgrading is ridiculous. To go from level 15 to 16 takes 3 days, 16 to 17 over a week. Not staying around to see how long it would take to get to level 40. (Highest available right now). And you have to do this with every other building, farm, mine, and quarry. Too boring.

Customer support will ruin it for you. Been playing this game since it was on PC years ago . And it’s addictive and fun when items you work and/or pay for, aren’t disappearing. Customer support for this game really ruins it. They are not in any way shape or form likely to fix or resolve any issue you have. They treat every issue as if you are trying to screw them. Even when you have screen shots of items you previously had that disappeared or if items you earned did not appear in your account , even with screen shots as proof , they blow you off and basically say too bad. Which if these items actually cost them something and I didn’t have proof, I could understand. But these are fictitious items that cost them Nothing to replace . They also love to do updates during large events such as server war, which usually screws everybody up. If customer service would get Their craniums out of their Southern most Hemisphere , this game would be awesome. Recently they raised the difficulty across the board. They did not increase the value of the rewards. It’s all about trying to get you to spend money.

Cheats paying players. Follow up: after my review I received a response saying to contact support. But as everyone else reports, support lies and does nothing to help. I have requested support and they do nothing but lie and blame others. Do not trust this company. This developer cheats players. Be warned. After investing a lot of money and time building my city, a flaw in the game allowed me to lose everything. You rely on buying "truce agreements" to protect your city & troops. They expire & you renew while building strength. I renewed my agreement, received my confirmation mail, confirmed it in my city and was safe for 3 days. Or so I thought! While afk, just 7 minutes later into my 3-day truce, the game dropped my agreement and everything was destroyed. I reported the issue immediately. All I asked was to have them reverse the illegal attack against my city. The developer lied, blaming me, of course. I sent screen shots of my evidence and now they ghosted me since they know I’m right. They allow these flaws to exist so you have to pay to rebuild. What a scam! This game has so many frustrations already, but this type of outright cheating from paying customers is disgusting. They have lost a paying customer for good. Be warned.

Major bug & In game lawlessness. A- The bug makes the app shutdown after 5 attacks. Be it monster attacks or pvp. So imagine being in enemy server during svs and ur app shuts down! Needless to say , I was annihilated on one occasion during the 2 minutes I went off game! B- The game is lawless. Rules are made up and broken by the most powerful players. Flagrant breach & contradiction of rules. Also, players can behave and speak very inappropriately. Including profanity and racism. Including trolling. Actions which need to be penalized and have players banned. There’s also the issue of Sub City stealing! How can the developers of this game allow a player to steal a sub city, which was just won by another player , who likely bought many packets to find the clues. This is real money we’re talking about . In some cases players buy several hundred dollars worth of packets. Why is the Sub not theft proof? And if a player steals it , why are there no actions taken by the game itself? Why are there no moderators? The powerful players are running amuck without any accountability. How can the game place all the trust in players hands ? Isn’t there a time when the developers should intervene? We’re paying your salaries !

Support. I enjoy the building and strategy but the game has a lot of bugs and issues that have persisted throughout the year and a half I’ve been playing. The support team is slow to respond and try to clear their tickets before any answers or resolutions are made. Every time there is an update my ticket gets cleared and I have to fight with support all over to get an answer. After this last update someone in support said they would find my ticket and then work with production for compensation, we are on day 16 of the event and still no resolution or compensation. I have to take a screenshot before upgrading or making anything to show I have the requirements because of a connection error that happens after hitting that ‘upgrade’ button and suddenly I no longer have the items or resources and the upgrade has not been completed. They have a battlefield event which is sometimes fun but it’s 2 hours long. You can’t leave or you do not get rewards. One bug made it so that we could join battlefield but the map wouldn’t load, no one could move, and we couldn’t leave so we had to sit frozen for 2 hours. No compensation.

Pay to win. Scam customer service.. The game can be fun and addictive. But you need to understand that the developers only care about taking money and not retaining customers. They don’t value your business. If you contact customer service they will not read your problem and send you generic instructions to make you jump through hoops and never get reimbursed. For example, the standard customer service response is to request a screenshot of your issue before it occurred. No one screenshots their game a hundred times a day to keep a record of when the game glitches and steels what you paid for. If the game glitches and you loose countless hours of work or money spent, you will not receive customer service or any use. This is a pay to win game designed to encourage spending. They claim there are ways to pay for free but you will never win without paying. Any developer who says you will be powerful without spending is manipulating you with their definition of powerful. Play this game only if you can afford to pay for your ability to win and don’t mind loosing money to glitches with fake robotic customer service.

First of all….. I downloaded the game and it was horrible, not only was it extremely slow, but the graphics were, shall we say, horrendous down right horrible and should have been better, and you levels…. The levels are not entertaining in the slightest, it was addicting at first, but then it became annoying and boring. Since I’ve had it, every time I try to play one of my free, non-wifi-needing games, the first ad that comes up is this game, i have also come to realize that you use your OWN ads to back up some of your newest ones, the “guys I finally found a game that is really as the ads show” play your old “ughhh, I want that treasure, no no no my treasure” in the background. All I’m asking is that you make your ads less stupid, and give some real evidence, like one of those zombie and puzzle games that are nothing like the real things….(I think that illegal but you don’t have to put that in) also your players need to know first hand that they are playing a civilization building, puzzle solving, games. The game itself I know y’all can fix, but I know that other games never get rid of their crappy ads so I wanted to address this. -not that much love, a player of your game<3

Free to play but you must pay to win. This game and the developers are nothing but modern day thieves…Evony will steal your time, your money, and your joy. At first you’re drawn into the game under false pretenses with ads that do not accurately represent the game you will play. I’ve played Evony for almost three years and most of the friends I’ve made during that time have quit the game due to it’s never ending requirements for invested time and money. Yes you can play for free, but you will never be able to compete against those who coin. Like ever! Even if you spend 12-18 hours daily on the game you will still be obsolete and of no competition to those who coin heavily. Customer service is practically non existent and the developers DO NOT CARE about you. I’ve witnessed first hand live calls between developers and their elite customers….complaints are ignored or answered with more ways to steal your money. More perks and advantages for paying players, but only if you spend thousands on top of thousands. Every month the cost to succeed in Evony increases. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!! If you have become trapped in this game then stop coining. Don’t give them another dime. Ever. I know I won’t.

They hooked me. Yep, i saw the ads that the puzzles are there. And they didn’t lie. The puzzles are there. 6 puzzles every day but it takes 15 minutes to actually get to all of them and they are repetitive- nothing new on daily puzzles. Then each time you upgrade the keep you get a few more new puzzles but they are all so similar- no challenge there. Plus it takes longer and longer to upgrade the Keep. To get to keep level 23, you have to upgrade walls to 22 which took at least a week. Plus barracks to level 22 which took me a few weeks. Then with 17 plus million of food, stone, lumber and metal, you finally get to start the keep upgrade which took over 44 days. After all that, you get to spend an exciting 5 minutes or so solving puzzles. So time to delete this game and live my real life. The other parts of this, battles, killing monsters etc are too time consuming to learn. I wish you well. I just want to add that this is a very sophisticated game. If I was younger, I would probably join an alliance and have a great time. At my age, i just enjoy puzzles

Used to be fun — Customer Service is terrible. The game used to be fun but the amount of glitches are terrible. This game can be free to play however it is definitely focused on pay to win. To be honest I spend a good amount as I have found this game enjoyable but the game play has gotten stale with repeat events and ridiculous cultural appropriation for events that are focused around getting you to purchase packs for advantages and items in the game. Some are so outrageously priced and won’t even guarantee you the item/general but a “chance” to get them. The chance probability was just recently added to the game but it is very far from being transparent. Transparency is not this game’s strong suit. When you inquire with customer service about discrepancies in the game or issues you’re haven’t customer service will most likely not have an answer for you and that’s if they choose to respond to you. I continue to play the game because of my alliance but the route this game has taken over the last 6 months is just so off putting. Although I’d like to continue to play the game, the developers keep giving me reasons not to. Do better Evony…

Predatory Game. This game is very falsely advertised. I downloaded this game because I had a flight and didn’t want to be bored on the plane, so I downloaded it to do the puzzles for entertainment. I soon realized that the puzzles are a minor fraction of the game. This is actually a war strategy game that requires huge time and financial commitment to be of any consequence. When I say a huge financial commitment, I mean tens of thousands per year if not more and that is to be mediocre. When I say time commitment, I mean that you have to log in daily for extended periods of time if you want to be of consequence. I would not recommend this game, particularly if you lack impulse control like I do. I am sure down the road we will see a class action lawsuit against Top Games. I also have to mention lag and glitches… this game constantly takes money from people and does nothing to offer a quality product. They entice you to spend large sums of money to be competitive and then the competition environment I.e. battlefield is littered with glitches and substantial lag. I would highly recommend that you pass on downloading this game.

The ad is not completely true. Looks untrustworthy. So the puzzles as you would imagine are really easy and stupid. The guys animation is pretty terrible when he moves. The ad puzzles are more interesting. It seems it is not as advertised. You have to wait so long for things to upgrade so you can play the game it is like they don’t want you to play it. Reading reviews it is almost as if a fake account has made some and the responses are very interesting and helpful. The customer service seems to be lacking and takes so long for responses. I would not recommend this game. Boring and super complex. Also I am impressed they respond to practical every review. However I think the one review might be right. the one review is right about breaking ToS agreement and allowing awful language and selling of resource. Sounds shady to me. I hope the person/bit can respond to my concerns so I can feel comforted in knowing it reads reviews and sends out per made messages to you. I think they should refund money and put less ads out they are very annoying. I test my hypothesis and hope the bot accounts find a way to stop and respond because of hateful speech.

No puzzles, takes too long. If I could, I’d give this game zero stars. Nothing against the actual game, but the advertisements are saying one thing, and when you play, it's entirely different. I want what the ads have to offer, not something deceiving. The game itself is very cool, however I wasn’t downloading the game to play a strategy and war game. I downloaded it for the puzzles and only the puzzles, because that’s what was advertised. I appreciate the thought put into the game, but it takes so long to actually play. You have to wait a certain amount of time to do anything, and then when you can finally do something, you’ve already been demolished by another player, especially when you are first starting out. If you don’t want to wait, you have to pay. And yes, all games do this. But the part that upsets me is that I more or less lost all of my advancements and stuff because I wasn’t willing to pay. This game was falsely advertised and took up too much time (at least for me). I try and give all the games I play a bit of time, regardless of how I feel, because sometimes the beginning is boring etc. But these are 2 months I’ll never get back.

Suggestion for improvement. Evony is a great game with addictive gameplay. However, there are a fewthings I've found frustrating. First is the Alliance Help icon that appears above a building when you begin construction. I find it annoying that when I check to see if a building has any construction speed-up the Alliance Help bubble is triggered and notifies every member that I need help with a building. I upgrade many buildings all at once and don't want to alert my alliance members about every single building that I upgrade. Second, progression at higher levels seems to require spending real money (likebuying gems), which I think will make many players quit. Third, the game can be sexist and racist with male and European/American generals overpowered snd female/Asian/Middle Eastern generals under-powered. African and Indigenous leaders are almost non-existent. How could you assign Wu Zetian, a female Chinese emperor with a successful 50+ year reign and who won countless battles, to specialize as the mayor of a subcity while Queen Elizabeth I gets buffs as a primary military leader? If you insult your Asian/Black/Middle Eastern/female players, we won't want to play this game anymore.

Thought the problem was fixed but it is not. Fixed the problem I was having with connection issues , now when I purchased a package I hadn’t noticed but it is charging me double but I only purchased 1 package , is there anything you can do to help me out with this issue if I need to send a pic I will, thought the connection issue was fixed but it’s not , I uninstalled the app and while uninstalled I was on other apps and never had a connection issue and as soon as I reinstall the app my connection is messed up and saying I have no connection , could you please fix the issue and I see I’m not the only one having this issue because I was reading the world chat and others are having the same issues with the connection problem. ALSO I WANT TO KNOW WHY IT IS CHARGING ME DOUBLE WHEN I USE THE DOUBLE DOWN COUPON ?????? Can you refund me where it’s charged me double ? It is still charging me double when I use the double down coupons , isn’t that the purpose so it doesn’t change me double , ugh can you refund me what I have spent

It’s ok... The cool pull-pin puzzle games they advertise are not the puzzles you play in the game. The pull pin ones look way more fun. You can never get a hold of customer service, the game lags and glitches in crucial battle times resulting in the player losing resources that are not paid back by the Evony makers, the maps don’t populate quick enough so many times you are looking at a blank field until the slow server can catch up, the app updates sometimes lock you out of your game, if another player is being aggressive toward another player or threatening other players evony does nothing to help and just tells the player to call the cops. So the game is pretty fun but the developers need to use some of all that money they make off of a so-called “free” game and put it back into the game for the customers. You can play for free but you will get no where fast. Most players pay around $25-$50 a month. Some spend thousands of dollars on this game just so they can rule the server. This game growth is about how much money you spend, not how skilled you are at managing your own city.

They won’t give me back my 1B account. I been playing over 2+ years. Was on my own Keep 34 game. I’m PaPaBlaze on server 299. Went to bed closed game got up in the morning and opened my game I was on some ones account. Sent in a ticket and email. Asked them to fix it so I would be e on my own account. Had me start a new game still waiting on them to fix the problem. It’s been over a week now. I tried to log on my game on a laptop a computer a tablet and my iPhone. There site said my email is not found. Still I can play the new game on my iPhone. With no problems. Can’t play it on anything else. They emailed me back said I need to stat a new game. Link it same way as before but I may lose my PaPaBlaze and the new game. This is so not right I did nothing wrong. And have 2 plus years into my gams. I’m not a coiner. I only have $30. In the game it’s been all really hard working to achieve what I have. But it can be don’t. It’s not Right What They Did And Are Still Doing To Me.

"Don't you hate those fake ads...?" YES. I downloaded (and then deleted) this game about a year ago because of the fun-looking puzzle ads. The ads are lying. The game is about building a base and going to war--fun if you have oodles of cash or time, but not fun if you were looking for a relaxing/challenging puzzle game. Yes, developer bot, I DID patiently wait until I could unlock more puzzles. The puzzles themselves are not as good as advertised and are all about TIMING rather than strategically removing pins. If you spend tons of time you might unlock 5-10 puzzles per week, and that's multiple hours of waiting for your base to upgrade. Or multiple hundreds of dollars spent. I didn't have a good experience in the two guilds I joined (the first one kicked me out after raising the level cap and giving me about six hours to rise 5 levels, which would have taken 2 weeks), and the world chat is poorly monitored and primarily consists of oriental language users that I can't converse with anyway. Recently they've started a pushier ad campaign about how "THEIR" game is "REALLY exactly like the ads". They are still lying! Don't waste your time or money.

Technical issues. The game is really fun I have enjoyed playing it for a long time now and recently ran into some issues where my construction time would be stuck and any kind of upgrading would get stuck unless it was under one day I contacted top games I made a ticket actually quite a few I sent in the video of what was going on where my construction was stuck I sent in two or three videos and continue to have these problems after a week of issues with this and fearing that there would be no advancement for me in the game I sadly had to quit unfortunately they did absolutely nothing to reimburse me for my jams that were spent in all of my speed ups that were spent in wasted on construction that simply will not move it was not my fault that that happened and the fact that they stopped correspondence with me after I did everything they asked really upset me so now I’m trying to restart my whole game and if it happens again I will never ever play any top games again because it’s really frustrating and rude maybe I can get it to work the second time around.

Cash grab (READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING). This game explodes human nature and monetizes on it. Let me explain. You are put with players who spend money on the game. These people are called “whales”. Yes, the mobile game industry uses that term. Know where that term comes from? Gambling. Snd say you become a whale. You win a few matches, and get put with crazier whales. You could argue that purchases are your choice. Sounds crazy, but it actually isn’t. You are greeted with a pop up at the start of the game that has cool stuff, but is kinda expensive. You can play the game like normal for a few matches, and then you play with whales. A free player doesn’t stand a chance against a player that spent money. Then, a new pop up. Its the same or better as the first one, but far cheaper (or just far better value). You will most likely buy it. This is called the first buy, another gambling term used by the mobile game industry. This means all your spending barriers for the game are broken. And this happens to more people than you would think. Choose not to spend? Have fun being absolutely dominated by whales. So by all means, get this game. It takes thousands of dollars to become a super omega whale above all others, then come ai. So yea.

Designed to be Buggy and Intentionally Steals. This game has some very major flaws. On there own, that not be an issue. However, because players pay for things like speed ups, troop upgrades, etc., it becomes theft. Selling something to a player and representing that it can be used in a specific situation creates reliance. Knowingly having programmed bugs that make the use of those things results in the developer essentially selling a useless item and then stealing it back through poor programming. Additionally, Ebony’s entire advertising campaign is purposefully misleading. It is portrayed as an innovative puzzle game. In reality the puzzles play only a very minor role and are terribly repetitive. Come on Apple, we expect more from you. You used to get rid of apps like this. I have been watching the series on Uber and have never been more proud of Apple. I didn’t think you would let an app designed to steal from your customers onto your system.

Rich man’s game. First, I have played Evony for a year and will continue to play it. I spend maybe $5 to $20 per month just for the fun of getting extra stuff. This is only enough to be a medium to small player on my wonderful server. To be one of the top 10 players on my server, I would have to have spent $1000 to $3000 per month. But I have found my social niche in being entertaining and a good friend to many people. Like most other people on the game, I started playing it for the puzzles. I really wanted to solve the actual puzzles advertised. But those particular advertised puzzle are not in the game. My biggest gripe with the game is that I never got to solve those super cool looking puzzles. The ones you do get to solve are rather dull and repetitive. 6 puzzles per day are available to play, but most people stop bothering with the puzzles after a month. Because…. It isn’t a puzzle game!!! It’s a social war game! And advertising it so heavily as a puzzle game is very very false! Also the customer service is awful, and the “red Wi-Fi symbol” glitches can make a person lose troops worth $thousands$ in an instant. It happens over and over, and complaining about it gives you little to no response from customer service. I can only surmise that they want you to lose it all, so that you will spend money to get it back. I have made many friends on Evony and will continue to play, and spend a little bit of money, just for them. -Chooka Bear

Disgustingly unabashed deceitful ads. This game actually has multiple ads talking about people being unhappy about downloading a game and having it not be like the ad and then this game is the prime example of that! This is not a puzzle game but a battle and world building game with puzzles to try to draw people in to download it! Then I received the pathetic response below from the developer. Remember, they market this game as a pull the pin puzzle game with absolutely no indication that there is any part of this game that is not a pull the pin puzzle game. It may be a good game. I don’t know because I have no desire to play that sort of game just to get to the game that I want to play as a reward for playing the basic game which has no interest to me. All I’m saying is that the developer should not be such a hypocrite and talk about all those other games with deceptive ads as every ad for this game is utterly and completely deceptive, marketing it as a pull the pin puzzle game. "Dear player. You will find many puzzles when you upgrade your Keep to certain levels. It is a strategy game, so it needs some time to explore which should be fun. Thanks for playing."

Worst Customer Service. I’ve had numerous complaints gone through to customer support ranging from locked accounts, to timing issues that require compensation of the game’s end for their bugs, account getting hacked and troops getting dismissed. All of which have had solid evidence for and have not been compensated for. If you read in their user agreement, they are not required to give you any compensation (in game or real compensation) for any losses you may incur so that gives them all the flexibility to get away with whatever they want. Whenever I’ve put in these complaints, the customer support staff never seem to actually understand my concern or what I’m actually talking about. It seems they don’t actually understand the game and/or have terrible communication skills and as a result give poor treatment to their customers. Not only that, the customer never gets compensation for any losses that fit into the above mentioned criteria. YOUR ACCOUNT AND PROGRESS IS NOT SECURE IN THIS GAME. In a game that is so pay to win heavy, I would expect better service but that is not the case with Evony unfortunately. I would highly suggest you turn away from this game immediately before you get sucked in to this money making scheme.

False advertising, bait and switch operation with horrible customer support. This game has taken a turn for the worst as they have begun not delivering to paid customers what they promise, send copy and paste replies from customer service that do not address the issues brought to them, and are dishonest about their in-game experience, rewards for certain accomplishments, and so much more. They also put no effort into maintaining infrastructure as the game is so glitchy and laggy at times it is unplayable. They only care about taking your money and not about fulfilling what they say they will provide for that money. Steer clear and find another game not owned by Top Games. *update: they responded with a comment that doesn't even address any of the issues and yes, you can get red wings when you are top 100 in a season of boc, but one of the issues was they weren't giving them to the people who HAD done that until a mass email and social media campaign with countless screenshots and many negative reviews were going to effect how much money they made so they finally pushed that to the people that had earned it. All my comments in my review are just as valid and the game is still as glitchy and lags just as badly as ever.
