Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (228 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription16%

23 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I spent money purchasing every tribe on my Android and guess what - I lost all of those purchases after switching to iOS.
★★★★★ They jsut keep you charging the same purchases each month
★★★★★ You can't even just do free play anymore, you have to spend money to unlock enough tribes to be able to do it.
Worse after an update16%

22 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Another update, and now the AI is even more hyper aggressive.
★★★★★ Special tribes are fun on their own, but including them as side AIs in a multiplayer game completely imbalances it. I don't know why they changed it so special tribes couldn't be excluded anymore.
★★★★★ Update: Für eine gewisse Zeit war die Spielmechanik richtig eingestellt.
Bugs, things not working11%

16 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I can zoom out but can't zoom in. Too small to see on a phone
★★★★★ The app just stopped working.
★★★★★ Every single time I try to buy a tribe I get greeted with the same error initializing payment message.
Lost data, sync, backup9%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Practically makes it impossible to lose even on crazy mode.
★★★★★ As the years have gone by, the developers have programmed the AI to cheat!
★★★★★ I spent money purchasing every tribe on my Android and guess what - I lost all of those purchases after switching to iOS.
Crashes and freezes7%

10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Freezing every other turn on iPhone 17 pro.
★★★★★ Now it is constantly freezing, requiring me to close and reopen the app every few minutes.
★★★★★ This game has a pretty bad bug in iOS 26.2 that freezes and crashes the entire OS.
Slow, laggy, battery7%

10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It Takes forever for a Game to Happen and as a Host u cant even Kick one guy who is Afk.
★★★★★ So as of the past couple months or so, the game is incredibly slow.
★★★★★ Fun game but completely drains you battery and is sometimes glitchy - used to be so much better when it was simpler
Limits, credits, locked features5%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I really miss the game before they locked half of the armies behind 0.99$ paywalls.
★★★★★ I paid extra but if you want to compete on the leader board you have to pay.
★★★★★ After paying to unlock a second tribe, my first unlocked tribe was locked.
Missing features4%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This game is fun, but the multiplayer is ruined by the fact that there is as of this writing no way to kick players who troll by stalling in the lobby, preventing the game from starting.
★★★★★ I honestly love this game but am sickened by the complete vacuum of professionalism and lack execution associated with its launch.
★★★★★ There are many flaws in the overall gameplay that need to be addressed, in particular, the lack of an en passant type counter balance to knight charges is the most egregious.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Great game but I wish the developers gave it a little more attention recently… more active tweaks and updates to keep the game balanced and fresh. 4★, Oct 19, 2026
  • THIS GAME NEEDS MORE UPDATES I WANT NEW TRIBES AND SKINS DANG IT 1★, Sep 9, 2026
  • I've played this game for years and had friends all group together to play together which is always so much fun but I wish there were a few more bare minimum mechanics it should have. 3★, Sep 5, 2026
  • Need more investment into the multiplayer experience, fix a few bugs, and this could be a staple of multiplayer gaming. 5★, Aug 27, 2026
  • I would love to see a true team version even if it doesn't track your ELO. 5★, Jul 24, 2026
  • Maybe a free camera, photo mode, or cinematic view would be amazing. 5★, Jul 22, 2026
  • As I usually use Simplified Chinese, I hope the developers can add a Simplified‑Chinese language option in future updates. 4★, Jun 12, 2026
  • Would it be so hard to add a matchmaking option to where you can “avoid” playing other tribes? 3★, May 4, 2026

★★★★★ Design 101: make it as easy as possible for your users to give you money
★★★★★ Playing against AI, trying different tribes, or just building a beautiful empire is enough to keep me entertained.
★★★★★ Additionally, up to 11 characters (each with unique traits & design) can be purchased, which greatly enhances the gaming experience.
Fast2%

★★★★★ But then I do another quick search, and I'm right back in their lobby.
★★★★★ It takes the turn based whimsy of traditional board games and combines it with fast-paced gameplay where every choice you make radically changes the outcome.
★★★★★ The gameplay is smooth, the design is clever, and it never gets old no matter how many times you play.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Favorite Game but getting bored

Fantastic strategy game however, with no updates in forever we there are no new strategies. A few of the tribes are completely over powered and some of the tribes are nearly unplayable. Great game but I wish the developers gave it a little more attention recently… more active tweaks and updates to keep the game balanced and fresh. Every match turns into the same battle and strategy. No new troops. No new tribes. It gets a bit repetitive. Overall fantastic game. Tbh should be even bigger but I think it hasn’t gotten the attention it should simply because of the above critiques.

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026
=D

This game is fun, strategic, and unpredictable. I love the art and how you can choose which tribe to play. It also is an adaptive experience, so you can choose how hard the game is for you.

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026
My bals tingle

Absolute ball breaking of balls

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026
Houston, we’ve had peak

Peak is all I hav to say

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
AI don’t take over cities

When playing offline, AI will enter a city but not capture it. Practically makes it impossible to lose even on crazy mode. Numerous updates and yet this is still not fixed. Haven’t been able to play in months. Please fix this.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
Game feels abandoned

Feels like the developers gave up. Game has been unbalanced for probably nearly a year with no changes or fixes. No new content or updates just minor “patches.” Sad that nothing has been happening with no explanation.
