Started this game, I had server issues on second expansion attempt. And after I linked my account I lost all previous progress. Glad I haven’t thrown any cash at this game. The only reason I didn’t rate it lower is because the appearance is pretty good quality and the interface is average. But a terrible first impression and the frustration at the start suggests to me this isn’t going to be worth it.

I’m trying to get my brother in law to join it’s so great

Constantly restarting the game as it crashes a lot. Support is volunteers only. Fun when it’s working though. Needs better tech.

If you have no idea what your supposed to do then this is the game for you!

Ever since I played this game I make progress then I delete the game then I download it again cuz I was feeling lonely about it when juggernaut revenge of sovering got deleted like deleted from our country or state then I need another game.”the game is still in our hands.”

The game is exciting getting places built and earning money, etc. to build my town.

I’m really excited to play on the new battlegrounds mode for guilds, but am unable to. I tap the flags to enter to help obtain that part of the map, but nothing happens. Is this a glitch?

Exciting and entertaining

I love the simple graphics and slower paced life about this game! There aren’t many games I have continued to play for this long!

I have paid a few thousand dollars over the last 3 years to advance my play in the game. I’ve dealt with all the glitches that happen from time to time with patience and understanding. After having a couple recent glitches/game errors I decided that if I’m paying for the game I should receive a better product than what I’ve been getting. I decided to report a glitch on the auction. It would not allow me to place a higher bid. I’d been watching a cherry blossom selection kit for two hours. With a couple minutes left in the auction I began placing higher bids. The current bid was reasonable and no other player had increased it for at least 40 minutes. The auction would not accept my bid. When I would enter it would blank and tell me to enter a bid greater than the existing bid. I tried several higher bids and the game would not accept it and then time ran out. I reported the problem, not really looking for compensation but hoping Inno would resolve it. For what I’ve paid I should be receiving a better product. The responses I received were extremely aggravating. They were telling me I didn’t place my bid until after the auction. Nothing I described would have happened if it were after the auction. I tried several times to explain that they were not understanding the situation and it was an actual problem with the game. After speaking with other players it is obvious this is not an isolated issue. Because of that response, and lack of customer service, I have decided to never again put money into this game. If they are going to treat it like it’s a free game that shouldn’t compensate for errors then so will I. Inno has lost a good paying customer in me. I will pay the value Inno thinks I’m worth. Zero

Lots of fun building, doing research and developing an economy. But it should be possible to opt out of having the city attacked and plundered. Fine for those who don’t mind, but it spoils the game for some. I made 4 friends in the game who stopped playing because of that.

I am a long time SimCity player. Forge of Empires is very similar but adds a fighting component. They have many competitions for special blds through the year that add enjoyment. If that was it, I would rate it 5 stars. However, there is a Player vs Player component to this game. They do not allow you to opt out of it. That part is just trash, and significantly reduces the enjoyment of the game. You build up your city and make your items, just to have someone who doesnt understand how to play, steal your items. By the time you get to where you can eat people or hold them off, you get to the end of a era and your fighting units you cant beat. It is sad that they have a really good game that is so negatively impacted by this really horrible option.

Awesome game and about how you research It’s awesome but in the AppStore it says trade HOW do go to higher age because I’m at Bronze Age so is that the case because if so witch age The modern age when unlock airplanes

dont even bother to start this game. the designers have been steadily rigging the game to suit the top players and keep everyone else down. if your not willing to spend hundreds of dollars a week you will always be last in everything in this game

Like the game but recently I have been experiencing a lot of glitches.

Fun and well laid out

This is a slow-paced game that requires intention and willingness to learn. It’s not like other games where you build as quickly as possible and are pressured to spend to be the best. Here in FoE, what you put into it determines quality. It could take years to get to the last level, or you can spend like a fiend and get there quickly. Either way it’s all good. It’s a relaxing game that is a pleasure to spend to spend time playing

I love/hate this game. Latest update left me without a key function... disappointed but I have been looking for a reason to quit, now I suppose I have it.

The game was fun at first but it soon bogged down because the expansions are too limited or unavailable. Times to produce supplies are not equitable. Example, 15 minutes to produce 25 supplies or 60 minutes to produce 60 supplies.

I’ve always enjoyed this genre. I really like that I can go between my phone, computer and pad depending on where I am.

I like it. It is a fun game where you get to run a city and make an army and stuff. I like these kind of simulation games where you own a business, town and more. I like it and you should play it too! 😉

The event games could have a little more variety and be a bit shorter. Maybe, every third level the game changes a bit to enhance the experience.

Great game but every minute the game freezes for about 2 seconds☹️

Just recently began playing this game and honestly love nearly everything about it......with a few exceptions. I play 90% through the mobile app, and I do wish I had some of the same controls/features that are available on the desktop version. I hate that I cannot check on my guilds activity unless I am on the desktop, as well as I cannot see who in my guild made a particular trade or donated to the treasury unless I’m on the desktop. I also wish guild founders/leaders had more control over their guild in general. For example if there is a member who accidentally (or intentionally to be annoying) posts something, there is no way to get rid of it. As the guild leader, there should be a way to control these things, otherwise there is no way of enforcing rules of the guild other than simply kicking members who don’t comply. Other than minor things like this the game is fantastic.

I can’t connect my FB account, I couldn’t load the game at all and when it did load it froze. So far it’s getting poo but I’ll see if it gets better

Great game understanding it more

Now, I have hardly played this game, so I may encounter these problems people say later, but, this game isn’t that bad. I, again, never encountered the PvP aspect of this game yet, but, Clash of Clans throws you straight into PvP. And, yes, even when someone attacks your village it doesn’t really take away your resources, but either way if your attacked, DEAL WITH IT! Sure you could repeatedly be attacked, but you might as well always get the 1 day resources, so when you are attacked, you still have resources later on. But of course, this is my opinion, and yet have just finished the Bronze Age. So over all, five stars.

The game has such flexibility and variety that every person on earth can have fun and find it interesting! The game has fighting and battles, building cities, collecting, building communities, making friends, exciting times, and calm times. Guilds can be fast paced and exciting or different guilds are laid back and calm. Some guilds have a lot of structure and rules, other guilds have no structure and no rules. Some guilds are big, some are small. Some people choose to pay real money and build faster, while others choose to play for years and spend little if any real money. And going through the ages is fun and educating. Young people playing FoE are not realizing they are getting a bit of general history education in their game playing. Have greatly enjoyed and been playing for 5 years and look forward to the next 5 years.

I like the game cause you feel the ages of time and it is kinda relaxing and soothing #Forge Of Empires

Please stop pushing out updates to the app when it’s clearly not tested for stability. As others have said, the switch to other worlds button kept failing to load. Also, who’s bright idea is it to relocate the 3 settings checkbox to the very top of the settings screen? Is it deliberate that you want people to toggle off the diamond use warning? It must be so because the toggle diamond use warning is where most players right thumb would hit to switch worlds...which doesn’t always load. The game hangs MUCH more frequently with the new update. I have to force quit the app a few times each time I check up on my cities. Hangs when I build settlement stuff. Hangs when I negotiate anything. Feels like I’m using a dev build where resetting the app by force quitting is expected. This is ridiculous.

Idk what happened but I put a lot of time in this app building my empire, making friends, and participating in events I took a break and when I logged back into the game all my accounts are wiped I have no clue what happened but do not play this game I just lost 3 months of progress and I doubt the devs will do anything to solve this problem waste of my time..

With the recent update, the settings won’t always allow you to switch between worlds. Sometimes it’s available as an option while other times it’s not. You have to log out and log into the other world.

Always something to build and upgrade

New update can’t access other worlds thru settings anymore???

Dropped out three times in the tutorial. Goodbye.

Tired of logging in and out so often now. Go back to before log in changes

Thank you so much FOE I’m happy to play game Relax and enjoy

DO NOT BECOME A NEW PLAYER. Any new players get plundered and are driven out of the game. You spend any amount of money on this game, be prepared to lose it and get driven out and literally attacked by players that have been on the game for longer than you.

The ability to switch worlds keeps disappearing!

I like the fact the game has many options to explore and several parts working together to make a well-rounded experience. There is a strategy to every little thing in the game, just waiting to be discovered and learned.

All of the graphics are amazing and it’s addicting and fun.

While I enjoyed the development of the cities and the events and daily challenges, I dislike a game where monied bullies are allowed to prey upon my cities, taking my resources or armies of bought mercenaries who delight in destroying all I have. Nice basic construct but lousy implementation.

Good game

This game has been coded to excite you if you love strategy games, team building games, or even if you like gambling games! Take a chance, and play this game, and see how invigorating it is when you find yourself having a little success! You will find yourself collecting all you need to build a functioning civilization, and it will directly encourage your confidence in the fact you are maintaining your contributions to your guild. I have not once had any issues with any glitches, and the support team has responded to any misunderstandings I’ve had immediately! 5/5 stars for me on the quality, and the intelligence of this game; Anybody who’s given less than 5 stars, I believe, it is because they have failed in their own execution in the game (No offense). This game holds the record for how long I’ve kept a gaming app! Anthony from Seattle!

The return for the costs of this game is ridiculous. Even the Halloween event is ridiculous, you only get 5 candies for completing a quest but you end up spending a obscene amount of your resources (which take days to produce a decent amount) to complete the quest. I understand the developers need to make money but I posit if they provide better rewards for return of effort, they will get more in-app purchases. Suggestions: 1. Either give alot more diamonds per purchase or reduce the cost of diamond only purchase buildings, troop expansions, etc. 2. Reduce the amount of time to produce supplies and resources or increase the amount produced in a time period. 3. Increase rewards for completing event quests significantly. Do these things and I bet you can quit spending as much money on advertising on other sites and keep more players creating a steady income stream.

I’ve always liked this style of game. The biggest issue I’ve had, though, is the nature of the ‘supply’ collecting. In many of these games you have to constantly check the app to gather your supplies that generate. I usually just check FOE a few times a day and do everything I need to get done. It’s pretty low maintenance but high level fun :) I’ve been playing for months now and can’t get enough. Really enjoy this game.

I have being playing the game for about three years. It has become my favorite past time.

You get attacked over and over by other players who steal your resources. Too much of this today in the real world. Has no place in a fantasy game. Get rid of it.

Al they want is for you to buy diamonds continuously think I’m gonna stop playing soon.

I just downloaded FOE and it crashed the first and second time I opened it. I am going to delete it :(

I’ve been playing this game for a while and it’s an awesome game and they’re constantly adding new awesome features! However one feature they NEED to add is the option to make it so that your city cannot be attacked. I’m in the late Middle Ages with Late Middle Ages defenders but my city is losing battle after battle as if there aren’t defenders whilst I somehow can’t even win against anyone I try to get revenge against. The option to switch on/off PVP would also be very useful for those like myself who are unable to be online 24/7 to instantly collect their production items when they are finished. Please guys PLEASE look into adding some feature to switch on/off PvP for each respective player

This game is absolutely amazing. Just a couple things. It would be awesome if you could have the war look like A WAR. And if you could be an actual person and be able to go inside the buildings then that would be really cool. Otherwise It’s really good you should try it! I’m sorry I didn’t have enough to type because I’m to busy playing this awesome game.

I really love this game it really also just tells you all about how some game creators are just amazing

I love this game but lately this game keeps crashing, and with lags on the time. This is becoming so annoying, I am getting tired of it. Fix it soon, or you will loose a lot of players.

Pretty good

This is the most boring “game” I’ve ever played. Every few years, I see an ad for it, vaguely remember it as a strategy game (which is a very generous description), see the score, and try it again. And, every time, I am hugely disappointed. It is boring, it has no tactics or strategy. What is wrong with the review system in the App Store? The spread seems to be between 4.5 and 5, not 0 and 5.

Need better prizes and less of the ones that are less needed. The auction is a nice improvement Sully

Could be a great game except it’s centered completely around diamonds.... and guess what, ya gotta buy them with real money. A LOT of them!!!

Inno allows players to cheat using bots and scrips. They do not even care. Have been reporting cheaters by name for over a year and nothing from inno.

Been playing this game for a couple years now and I play it daily, worth a go if you’re looking for a city building game that spans human history and more, best advice I can give is get into an active guild that wants to help it small members and you will love this game

This game is incredible, but I really wish that I could rotate buildings. I think that this would be an amazing addition to the game, so, please consider this 🙂

Love this game however to edit the layout is harder than it should be let us store all and place down one at a time instead trying to fit one new home well moving everything out of the way

I liked this game at first, but you get to a point where you can solve a “negotiation” and it costs you 50 gems and if it’s wrong they expect you to pay 45 again just to try which makes the quests impossible to solve without buying gems and spending a ton- or be unable to move forward with some of the quest story lines. Disappointing. Was fun until then.

Overall I think this is a very good game. The only downside is I think the diamonds are too expensive. I spent $50 on a starter pack and didn’t make much progress before I ran out. If they were cheaper I would buy more and would play more. I can’t see myself spending any more, there isn’t enough value for the money.

If you believe in playing a game that is fun, fair and enjoyable, skip this game! I started playing this game 18 months ago, only to discover some major design flaws. This game requires you to obtain blueprints towards gaining a Great Building, which provides you with different benefits. You are required to obtain 9 blueprints to build a Great Building. Often, you will get to a point where you are down to 8 of those blueprints and then start gaining multiples of the same one, where at that point you can choose to trade those multiples towards a “random chance” to obtain the one you are missing...Only problem is, the “random blueprint selector” feature rarely gives you the actual blueprint you need to finish the set of 9 required. So you end up spending days, weeks, even months of effort in saving up Forge Points to put down towards more blueprints, only to be held back over and over again by the “random blueprint trade” selection process! This “random” process really really takes a huge effort to get by, and just really makes it frustrating to say the least. Eventually you realize it’s no longer any fun to play a game that relies upon a “random selection” process. Progress is obstructed over and over...then the fun is gone...all that’s left is frustration because it inevitably just begins to feel like an entirely futile process altogether....is that really fun? Make a better choice, I wished now I had! What a waste of time!!!!

I build resources and they are stolen. I don’t see the point of playing

The tutorial is literally game breaking. After swapping between wifi and data, closing and reopening the app, and deleting and redownloading, I can't get past the tutorial. It completely freezes after placing the hut and won't let me tap on anything and the build button is greyed out.

I cannot believe you are once again sticking it to your players. First, you raise the price on the land from 400 to 600. Second, you say a bunch of BS and apologized for moving the cost of diamonds by 33% or something close. Thread, you once again raise the cost of land by 200 diamonds. What a bunch of money hungry d**#s. It’s so crazy how money hungry you guys have become in the last few months. I don’t want to hear some BS reason you did this to us. I so hope no one spends one dime on this game. You need us more than we need you! Try remembering that!!

You’ll be raided by people who pay to win and you have zero hope of fighting back. They can raid you over and over.

Best game I’ve played yet

If you like building cities, fighting and trading, this is the game for you ! They always update to keep things interesting also. Addicting.

I’ve been playing for about a year and this is by far one of the greatest games and the consistent updates are always making it better. I normally don’t like to spend money on mobile games but this is one of the few times I’ve made the exception and I definitely do not regret it. Awesome game and I definitely recommend it.

It’s an enjoyable game. However, I don’t like that it’s a very slow progress game, and I HATE that I can’t buy land until I unlock special expansions or spend tons of diamonds. Otherwise the city gets really crammed really fast. Please make it easier to buy land with coins instead of needing to waist to get a reward expansion.

They erased my account because I took a break from the game. Now way in hell Im starting over again. Just a waste. Spent so much time in this game for them to just throw my work away. I can sign in but it makes me start fresh again. So I email them about the issue, they say if you are away from the game for 30days they erase everything you have. People don't even try to start on this game. Bringing my stars down since this was their excuse. Horrible business erasing people accounts in such a short time frame.

Lots of fun

It bad

Absolutely garbage support horrible game waste of time and effort. Better off picking your nose

To many bugs

Cannot get even basic pleasurable gameplay without forking money over constantly. Makes the game no fun whatsoever. Also, since the iPadOS update, it’s loading is flakey at best. Shame, because it’s a good game.

I love this game so much but you guys almost make it so we have to buy diamonds which I don’t want to do. I wish you could have the tool places produce more tools sense we have to build a lot of buildings super fast to get stone, marble, trees etc. other than this it’s super awesome.

A 564mb additional download is needed with the latest update? Why in the world does the latest addition need that much extra stuff??

good over time game

At some of the higher levels it can feel a bit slow. Overall there is a good flow especially if you can get a good balance between gold and production as well as between combat and trading/negotiation.

This game is trash it takes all your money and people cheat

Best way to kill time

GvG is not available on mobile devices Can Inno change this so we can participate Could Inno mark items in the players inventory with the symbol as to what is example weather it’s a house decoration production or battle building

Tried to log in but was told to update version. App Store doesn’t give me the option to update, so I can no longer log in. I’m sure it’s because I need to update my iOS on my older 6+,but it’s frustrating that I need to update when the iOS I’m using isnot that old.

Many reviews have noted that as you progress it becomes more difficult to advance without spending money (real not game coins). I have 3 different ‘towns’ in different worlds. I’m fairly new to the game and have made a lot bad decisions, and advancement has become slow. But I’m in a guild in one world that has a leader who responds quickly to all questions and offers tips and guidance, and is active in assisting guild members to solve problems and advance. Guild members help each other building GB and trading inventory within guild. There is lots of communication between guild members. The other two guilds rarely communicate and that makes the game much more difficult. Spend more time in an age, build a good foundation, and find a good guild. The game requires strategizing and planning which makes it challenging and keeps me involved. It is not a game to play intermittently (like Candy Crush). I get frustrated with plunderers and superior military, but I’ gonna keep trying👍

Away 2 hours, lots of buildings missing, lots of people missing. Am at same spot in game but without the acquired assets. It would take a week to get back to where I was. Monotony, kills... the need to replay days of strategy over again without assets. Nah, not me!

I’ve been playing now for about 9 months; I started when my boyfriend recommended it, to get some free diamonds. I’m hooked. I have not found any need to buy diamonds, I collect quite a few from GE and Wishing wells as well as quests and my Crow’s Nest (best event building ever!). I never have issues completing event quests, without spending any money, and have maxed out all event buildings with ease. I would recommend for anyone. Tips for new players: don’t rush through your tech tree and climb eras too quickly, take your time to collect bps for great buildings and really level them up. Also look at the rewards of the great buildings, not all are necessary, and you don’t want to invest in a building that in a couple of eras is useless (oracle of Delphi I’m looking at you). Neighborhoods change frequently, occasionally I have people that attack my city daily, but with regular pick ups they can’t steal too much from me. Most weeks are quiet on that front. At first I stayed away from pvp and gvg however they are now some of my favorite aspects of the game. Rearranging my city is like a puzzle to put together and I enjoy the process of reworking my city to free up some space. A good guild is so important, and they all have different approaches. I started in a guild that didn’t do gvg, but as I became interested in that aspect I found a guild that would be supporting that approach. Don’t be afraid to look for a guild that backs your play style. In short, this is a game that is easy to start but can become as challenging as you want it to be.

I enjoy playing this game on my leisure time. Minus the inactive players and the bugs this game is great. I’ve made multiple reports in regards to reporting bugs and yet they are still visible. I’d like to refer gamers and will do so when the bugs are permanently fix..

Excellent game mechanics that allow for a variety of strategies to follow. It is very possible to play this game for free, just at a slower pace. The designers are constantly tweaking the game and adding new player friendly features. The best part of this game is the freedom from becoming a farm for the wallet warriors, aka the whales. I have tried dozens of games but this one keeps me the most engaged over time. When I read the 1 and 2 star reviews I get the sense that those players are looking for a very different game geared towards rapid development and little need for careful resource development and usage. Proceeding slowly and taking the advice of the advanced players in a guild can provide a very rewarding game experience. A number of bad reviews cite problems with plundering. There are a few strategies that you can use to avoid being plundered. The simplest techniques are to collect resources regularly and construct buildings that can’t be plundered. Once you gather a resource, you can’t lose it! I don’t keep a defensive army and don’t waste precious space on defensive buildings. I rarely get plundered and usually only lose an inconsequential amount of one resource. I’ve been in too many games where you can protect only a small fraction of what you collect and lose every other resource you farm, mine, or discover. As I mentioned above, by exploring membership in a variety of guilds you can find a number of players who generously support your efforts with trades and useful game info.

It’s a good game and I have been playing it in my free time for the last year and I enjoy it.

Yes you can play and advance without spending real money, but the criticisms are still partly valid. At first it’s not that big a problem, but as you advance, the pace crawls with lots of mundane tasks required to keep things going. You could play by checking in for a few minutes several times a day, but you can’t really play for long periods unless you are content to grind through accumulating resources like supplies. Trouble is that if you don’t do the grinding they don’t accumulate that fast because you have to intentionally act to collect everything or it just sits uncollected. As for the fun stuff like conquering, being able to do that requires inordinate time grinding through the collecting. Costs and space requirements grow quickly. Also, I have problems hitting the right icon. I’m constantly doing that and having to close the popup and try again. Seems like the alert icons are slightly off.

A great game for those who love turn based fighting and solving tasks that the game gives you. Join a guild and experience great camaraderie and don’t forget to stop at your friends taverns for a quick one.

Really great game, very interesting! Thank you!

They make it nearly impossible to play this game without buying diamonds (game currency.) I played for about 6 months and spent waaaay too much money for a past time! Also, the developers say diamonds only buy you time and you can play the entire game without diamonds. That’s true, however, the game takes too long to play without diamonds and it’s terribly boring. Playing mostly involves waiting and waiting and waiting. For instance, if you’re lucky, you can win a Rogues Hideout. A rogue is a type of soldier you can use to do battle. It takes all of 5 minutes to lose your rogue in battle and it takes 24 hours to build another one. And that’s relatively fast in comparison to most of the other things you end up having to wait for! Plus, if you come up against an army you can’t defeat, you can usually negotiate your way forward. The trouble is, you only get 3 free guesses to figure out what you need to pay for the negotiation. If you’re not successful after the third guess, you either have to pay diamonds to continue guessing or you must give up and forfeit all the goods you’ve already used trying to negotiate. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! They have some very creative ways of making you spend your money! I can’t recommend this game at all unless you have a lot of disposable income that you can use to help keep this game interesting. And I’m talking a LOT of disposable income because everything in this game is expensive! It’s really easy to drop $49.00 on this game and lose it in less than a day! Beware! This game is a money pit!

It’s a fun game to play but you reach a point in the game where you battle but must upgrade your troops so it’s either spent real money or wait until you have enough forge points to upgrade your troops

Forge of Empires is a challenging game that takes a lot of thought and requires you to strategize to move ahead . Being able to turn buildings and move them to fit your grid is something on my wish list. The game however has become a favorite of mine because of its challenging features. It’s not a game for the easily frustrated. Try it you’ll like it!

Started this game, I had server issues on second expansion attempt. And after I linked my account I lost all previous progress. Glad I haven’t thrown any cash at this game. The only reason I didn’t rate it lower is because the appearance is pretty good quality and the interface is average. But a terrible first impression and the frustration at the start suggests to me this isn’t going to be worth it.

I’m trying to get my brother in law to join it’s so great

Constantly restarting the game as it crashes a lot. Support is volunteers only. Fun when it’s working though. Needs better tech.

If you have no idea what your supposed to do then this is the game for you!

Ever since I played this game I make progress then I delete the game then I download it again cuz I was feeling lonely about it when juggernaut revenge of sovering got deleted like deleted from our country or state then I need another game.”the game is still in our hands.”

The game is exciting getting places built and earning money, etc. to build my town.

I’m really excited to play on the new battlegrounds mode for guilds, but am unable to. I tap the flags to enter to help obtain that part of the map, but nothing happens. Is this a glitch?

Exciting and entertaining

I love the simple graphics and slower paced life about this game! There aren’t many games I have continued to play for this long!

I have paid a few thousand dollars over the last 3 years to advance my play in the game. I’ve dealt with all the glitches that happen from time to time with patience and understanding. After having a couple recent glitches/game errors I decided that if I’m paying for the game I should receive a better product than what I’ve been getting. I decided to report a glitch on the auction. It would not allow me to place a higher bid. I’d been watching a cherry blossom selection kit for two hours. With a couple minutes left in the auction I began placing higher bids. The current bid was reasonable and no other player had increased it for at least 40 minutes. The auction would not accept my bid. When I would enter it would blank and tell me to enter a bid greater than the existing bid. I tried several higher bids and the game would not accept it and then time ran out. I reported the problem, not really looking for compensation but hoping Inno would resolve it. For what I’ve paid I should be receiving a better product. The responses I received were extremely aggravating. They were telling me I didn’t place my bid until after the auction. Nothing I described would have happened if it were after the auction. I tried several times to explain that they were not understanding the situation and it was an actual problem with the game. After speaking with other players it is obvious this is not an isolated issue. Because of that response, and lack of customer service, I have decided to never again put money into this game. If they are going to treat it like it’s a free game that shouldn’t compensate for errors then so will I. Inno has lost a good paying customer in me. I will pay the value Inno thinks I’m worth. Zero

Lots of fun building, doing research and developing an economy. But it should be possible to opt out of having the city attacked and plundered. Fine for those who don’t mind, but it spoils the game for some. I made 4 friends in the game who stopped playing because of that.

I am a long time SimCity player. Forge of Empires is very similar but adds a fighting component. They have many competitions for special blds through the year that add enjoyment. If that was it, I would rate it 5 stars. However, there is a Player vs Player component to this game. They do not allow you to opt out of it. That part is just trash, and significantly reduces the enjoyment of the game. You build up your city and make your items, just to have someone who doesnt understand how to play, steal your items. By the time you get to where you can eat people or hold them off, you get to the end of a era and your fighting units you cant beat. It is sad that they have a really good game that is so negatively impacted by this really horrible option.

Awesome game and about how you research It’s awesome but in the AppStore it says trade HOW do go to higher age because I’m at Bronze Age so is that the case because if so witch age The modern age when unlock airplanes

dont even bother to start this game. the designers have been steadily rigging the game to suit the top players and keep everyone else down. if your not willing to spend hundreds of dollars a week you will always be last in everything in this game

Like the game but recently I have been experiencing a lot of glitches.

Fun and well laid out

This is a slow-paced game that requires intention and willingness to learn. It’s not like other games where you build as quickly as possible and are pressured to spend to be the best. Here in FoE, what you put into it determines quality. It could take years to get to the last level, or you can spend like a fiend and get there quickly. Either way it’s all good. It’s a relaxing game that is a pleasure to spend to spend time playing

I love/hate this game. Latest update left me without a key function... disappointed but I have been looking for a reason to quit, now I suppose I have it.

The game was fun at first but it soon bogged down because the expansions are too limited or unavailable. Times to produce supplies are not equitable. Example, 15 minutes to produce 25 supplies or 60 minutes to produce 60 supplies.

I’ve always enjoyed this genre. I really like that I can go between my phone, computer and pad depending on where I am.

I like it. It is a fun game where you get to run a city and make an army and stuff. I like these kind of simulation games where you own a business, town and more. I like it and you should play it too! 😉

The event games could have a little more variety and be a bit shorter. Maybe, every third level the game changes a bit to enhance the experience.

Great game but every minute the game freezes for about 2 seconds☹️

Just recently began playing this game and honestly love nearly everything about it......with a few exceptions. I play 90% through the mobile app, and I do wish I had some of the same controls/features that are available on the desktop version. I hate that I cannot check on my guilds activity unless I am on the desktop, as well as I cannot see who in my guild made a particular trade or donated to the treasury unless I’m on the desktop. I also wish guild founders/leaders had more control over their guild in general. For example if there is a member who accidentally (or intentionally to be annoying) posts something, there is no way to get rid of it. As the guild leader, there should be a way to control these things, otherwise there is no way of enforcing rules of the guild other than simply kicking members who don’t comply. Other than minor things like this the game is fantastic.

I can’t connect my FB account, I couldn’t load the game at all and when it did load it froze. So far it’s getting poo but I’ll see if it gets better

Great game understanding it more

Now, I have hardly played this game, so I may encounter these problems people say later, but, this game isn’t that bad. I, again, never encountered the PvP aspect of this game yet, but, Clash of Clans throws you straight into PvP. And, yes, even when someone attacks your village it doesn’t really take away your resources, but either way if your attacked, DEAL WITH IT! Sure you could repeatedly be attacked, but you might as well always get the 1 day resources, so when you are attacked, you still have resources later on. But of course, this is my opinion, and yet have just finished the Bronze Age. So over all, five stars.

The game has such flexibility and variety that every person on earth can have fun and find it interesting! The game has fighting and battles, building cities, collecting, building communities, making friends, exciting times, and calm times. Guilds can be fast paced and exciting or different guilds are laid back and calm. Some guilds have a lot of structure and rules, other guilds have no structure and no rules. Some guilds are big, some are small. Some people choose to pay real money and build faster, while others choose to play for years and spend little if any real money. And going through the ages is fun and educating. Young people playing FoE are not realizing they are getting a bit of general history education in their game playing. Have greatly enjoyed and been playing for 5 years and look forward to the next 5 years.

I like the game cause you feel the ages of time and it is kinda relaxing and soothing #Forge Of Empires

Please stop pushing out updates to the app when it’s clearly not tested for stability. As others have said, the switch to other worlds button kept failing to load. Also, who’s bright idea is it to relocate the 3 settings checkbox to the very top of the settings screen? Is it deliberate that you want people to toggle off the diamond use warning? It must be so because the toggle diamond use warning is where most players right thumb would hit to switch worlds...which doesn’t always load. The game hangs MUCH more frequently with the new update. I have to force quit the app a few times each time I check up on my cities. Hangs when I build settlement stuff. Hangs when I negotiate anything. Feels like I’m using a dev build where resetting the app by force quitting is expected. This is ridiculous.

Idk what happened but I put a lot of time in this app building my empire, making friends, and participating in events I took a break and when I logged back into the game all my accounts are wiped I have no clue what happened but do not play this game I just lost 3 months of progress and I doubt the devs will do anything to solve this problem waste of my time..

With the recent update, the settings won’t always allow you to switch between worlds. Sometimes it’s available as an option while other times it’s not. You have to log out and log into the other world.

Always something to build and upgrade

New update can’t access other worlds thru settings anymore???

Dropped out three times in the tutorial. Goodbye.

Tired of logging in and out so often now. Go back to before log in changes

Thank you so much FOE I’m happy to play game Relax and enjoy

DO NOT BECOME A NEW PLAYER. Any new players get plundered and are driven out of the game. You spend any amount of money on this game, be prepared to lose it and get driven out and literally attacked by players that have been on the game for longer than you.

The ability to switch worlds keeps disappearing!

I like the fact the game has many options to explore and several parts working together to make a well-rounded experience. There is a strategy to every little thing in the game, just waiting to be discovered and learned.

All of the graphics are amazing and it’s addicting and fun.

While I enjoyed the development of the cities and the events and daily challenges, I dislike a game where monied bullies are allowed to prey upon my cities, taking my resources or armies of bought mercenaries who delight in destroying all I have. Nice basic construct but lousy implementation.

Good game

This game has been coded to excite you if you love strategy games, team building games, or even if you like gambling games! Take a chance, and play this game, and see how invigorating it is when you find yourself having a little success! You will find yourself collecting all you need to build a functioning civilization, and it will directly encourage your confidence in the fact you are maintaining your contributions to your guild. I have not once had any issues with any glitches, and the support team has responded to any misunderstandings I’ve had immediately! 5/5 stars for me on the quality, and the intelligence of this game; Anybody who’s given less than 5 stars, I believe, it is because they have failed in their own execution in the game (No offense). This game holds the record for how long I’ve kept a gaming app! Anthony from Seattle!

The return for the costs of this game is ridiculous. Even the Halloween event is ridiculous, you only get 5 candies for completing a quest but you end up spending a obscene amount of your resources (which take days to produce a decent amount) to complete the quest. I understand the developers need to make money but I posit if they provide better rewards for return of effort, they will get more in-app purchases. Suggestions: 1. Either give alot more diamonds per purchase or reduce the cost of diamond only purchase buildings, troop expansions, etc. 2. Reduce the amount of time to produce supplies and resources or increase the amount produced in a time period. 3. Increase rewards for completing event quests significantly. Do these things and I bet you can quit spending as much money on advertising on other sites and keep more players creating a steady income stream.

I’ve always liked this style of game. The biggest issue I’ve had, though, is the nature of the ‘supply’ collecting. In many of these games you have to constantly check the app to gather your supplies that generate. I usually just check FOE a few times a day and do everything I need to get done. It’s pretty low maintenance but high level fun :) I’ve been playing for months now and can’t get enough. Really enjoy this game.

I have being playing the game for about three years. It has become my favorite past time.

You get attacked over and over by other players who steal your resources. Too much of this today in the real world. Has no place in a fantasy game. Get rid of it.

Al they want is for you to buy diamonds continuously think I’m gonna stop playing soon.

I just downloaded FOE and it crashed the first and second time I opened it. I am going to delete it :(

I’ve been playing this game for a while and it’s an awesome game and they’re constantly adding new awesome features! However one feature they NEED to add is the option to make it so that your city cannot be attacked. I’m in the late Middle Ages with Late Middle Ages defenders but my city is losing battle after battle as if there aren’t defenders whilst I somehow can’t even win against anyone I try to get revenge against. The option to switch on/off PVP would also be very useful for those like myself who are unable to be online 24/7 to instantly collect their production items when they are finished. Please guys PLEASE look into adding some feature to switch on/off PvP for each respective player

This game is absolutely amazing. Just a couple things. It would be awesome if you could have the war look like A WAR. And if you could be an actual person and be able to go inside the buildings then that would be really cool. Otherwise It’s really good you should try it! I’m sorry I didn’t have enough to type because I’m to busy playing this awesome game.

I really love this game it really also just tells you all about how some game creators are just amazing

I love this game but lately this game keeps crashing, and with lags on the time. This is becoming so annoying, I am getting tired of it. Fix it soon, or you will loose a lot of players.

Pretty good

This is the most boring “game” I’ve ever played. Every few years, I see an ad for it, vaguely remember it as a strategy game (which is a very generous description), see the score, and try it again. And, every time, I am hugely disappointed. It is boring, it has no tactics or strategy. What is wrong with the review system in the App Store? The spread seems to be between 4.5 and 5, not 0 and 5.

Need better prizes and less of the ones that are less needed. The auction is a nice improvement Sully

Could be a great game except it’s centered completely around diamonds.... and guess what, ya gotta buy them with real money. A LOT of them!!!

Inno allows players to cheat using bots and scrips. They do not even care. Have been reporting cheaters by name for over a year and nothing from inno.

Been playing this game for a couple years now and I play it daily, worth a go if you’re looking for a city building game that spans human history and more, best advice I can give is get into an active guild that wants to help it small members and you will love this game

This game is incredible, but I really wish that I could rotate buildings. I think that this would be an amazing addition to the game, so, please consider this 🙂

Love this game however to edit the layout is harder than it should be let us store all and place down one at a time instead trying to fit one new home well moving everything out of the way

I liked this game at first, but you get to a point where you can solve a “negotiation” and it costs you 50 gems and if it’s wrong they expect you to pay 45 again just to try which makes the quests impossible to solve without buying gems and spending a ton- or be unable to move forward with some of the quest story lines. Disappointing. Was fun until then.

Overall I think this is a very good game. The only downside is I think the diamonds are too expensive. I spent $50 on a starter pack and didn’t make much progress before I ran out. If they were cheaper I would buy more and would play more. I can’t see myself spending any more, there isn’t enough value for the money.

If you believe in playing a game that is fun, fair and enjoyable, skip this game! I started playing this game 18 months ago, only to discover some major design flaws. This game requires you to obtain blueprints towards gaining a Great Building, which provides you with different benefits. You are required to obtain 9 blueprints to build a Great Building. Often, you will get to a point where you are down to 8 of those blueprints and then start gaining multiples of the same one, where at that point you can choose to trade those multiples towards a “random chance” to obtain the one you are missing...Only problem is, the “random blueprint selector” feature rarely gives you the actual blueprint you need to finish the set of 9 required. So you end up spending days, weeks, even months of effort in saving up Forge Points to put down towards more blueprints, only to be held back over and over again by the “random blueprint trade” selection process! This “random” process really really takes a huge effort to get by, and just really makes it frustrating to say the least. Eventually you realize it’s no longer any fun to play a game that relies upon a “random selection” process. Progress is obstructed over and over...then the fun is gone...all that’s left is frustration because it inevitably just begins to feel like an entirely futile process altogether....is that really fun? Make a better choice, I wished now I had! What a waste of time!!!!

I build resources and they are stolen. I don’t see the point of playing

The tutorial is literally game breaking. After swapping between wifi and data, closing and reopening the app, and deleting and redownloading, I can't get past the tutorial. It completely freezes after placing the hut and won't let me tap on anything and the build button is greyed out.

I cannot believe you are once again sticking it to your players. First, you raise the price on the land from 400 to 600. Second, you say a bunch of BS and apologized for moving the cost of diamonds by 33% or something close. Thread, you once again raise the cost of land by 200 diamonds. What a bunch of money hungry d**#s. It’s so crazy how money hungry you guys have become in the last few months. I don’t want to hear some BS reason you did this to us. I so hope no one spends one dime on this game. You need us more than we need you! Try remembering that!!

You’ll be raided by people who pay to win and you have zero hope of fighting back. They can raid you over and over.

Best game I’ve played yet

If you like building cities, fighting and trading, this is the game for you ! They always update to keep things interesting also. Addicting.

I’ve been playing for about a year and this is by far one of the greatest games and the consistent updates are always making it better. I normally don’t like to spend money on mobile games but this is one of the few times I’ve made the exception and I definitely do not regret it. Awesome game and I definitely recommend it.

It’s an enjoyable game. However, I don’t like that it’s a very slow progress game, and I HATE that I can’t buy land until I unlock special expansions or spend tons of diamonds. Otherwise the city gets really crammed really fast. Please make it easier to buy land with coins instead of needing to waist to get a reward expansion.

They erased my account because I took a break from the game. Now way in hell Im starting over again. Just a waste. Spent so much time in this game for them to just throw my work away. I can sign in but it makes me start fresh again. So I email them about the issue, they say if you are away from the game for 30days they erase everything you have. People don't even try to start on this game. Bringing my stars down since this was their excuse. Horrible business erasing people accounts in such a short time frame.

Lots of fun

It bad

Absolutely garbage support horrible game waste of time and effort. Better off picking your nose

To many bugs

Cannot get even basic pleasurable gameplay without forking money over constantly. Makes the game no fun whatsoever. Also, since the iPadOS update, it’s loading is flakey at best. Shame, because it’s a good game.

I love this game so much but you guys almost make it so we have to buy diamonds which I don’t want to do. I wish you could have the tool places produce more tools sense we have to build a lot of buildings super fast to get stone, marble, trees etc. other than this it’s super awesome.

A 564mb additional download is needed with the latest update? Why in the world does the latest addition need that much extra stuff??

good over time game

At some of the higher levels it can feel a bit slow. Overall there is a good flow especially if you can get a good balance between gold and production as well as between combat and trading/negotiation.

This game is trash it takes all your money and people cheat

Best way to kill time

GvG is not available on mobile devices Can Inno change this so we can participate Could Inno mark items in the players inventory with the symbol as to what is example weather it’s a house decoration production or battle building

Tried to log in but was told to update version. App Store doesn’t give me the option to update, so I can no longer log in. I’m sure it’s because I need to update my iOS on my older 6+,but it’s frustrating that I need to update when the iOS I’m using isnot that old.

Many reviews have noted that as you progress it becomes more difficult to advance without spending money (real not game coins). I have 3 different ‘towns’ in different worlds. I’m fairly new to the game and have made a lot bad decisions, and advancement has become slow. But I’m in a guild in one world that has a leader who responds quickly to all questions and offers tips and guidance, and is active in assisting guild members to solve problems and advance. Guild members help each other building GB and trading inventory within guild. There is lots of communication between guild members. The other two guilds rarely communicate and that makes the game much more difficult. Spend more time in an age, build a good foundation, and find a good guild. The game requires strategizing and planning which makes it challenging and keeps me involved. It is not a game to play intermittently (like Candy Crush). I get frustrated with plunderers and superior military, but I’ gonna keep trying👍

Away 2 hours, lots of buildings missing, lots of people missing. Am at same spot in game but without the acquired assets. It would take a week to get back to where I was. Monotony, kills... the need to replay days of strategy over again without assets. Nah, not me!

I’ve been playing now for about 9 months; I started when my boyfriend recommended it, to get some free diamonds. I’m hooked. I have not found any need to buy diamonds, I collect quite a few from GE and Wishing wells as well as quests and my Crow’s Nest (best event building ever!). I never have issues completing event quests, without spending any money, and have maxed out all event buildings with ease. I would recommend for anyone. Tips for new players: don’t rush through your tech tree and climb eras too quickly, take your time to collect bps for great buildings and really level them up. Also look at the rewards of the great buildings, not all are necessary, and you don’t want to invest in a building that in a couple of eras is useless (oracle of Delphi I’m looking at you). Neighborhoods change frequently, occasionally I have people that attack my city daily, but with regular pick ups they can’t steal too much from me. Most weeks are quiet on that front. At first I stayed away from pvp and gvg however they are now some of my favorite aspects of the game. Rearranging my city is like a puzzle to put together and I enjoy the process of reworking my city to free up some space. A good guild is so important, and they all have different approaches. I started in a guild that didn’t do gvg, but as I became interested in that aspect I found a guild that would be supporting that approach. Don’t be afraid to look for a guild that backs your play style. In short, this is a game that is easy to start but can become as challenging as you want it to be.

I enjoy playing this game on my leisure time. Minus the inactive players and the bugs this game is great. I’ve made multiple reports in regards to reporting bugs and yet they are still visible. I’d like to refer gamers and will do so when the bugs are permanently fix..

Excellent game mechanics that allow for a variety of strategies to follow. It is very possible to play this game for free, just at a slower pace. The designers are constantly tweaking the game and adding new player friendly features. The best part of this game is the freedom from becoming a farm for the wallet warriors, aka the whales. I have tried dozens of games but this one keeps me the most engaged over time. When I read the 1 and 2 star reviews I get the sense that those players are looking for a very different game geared towards rapid development and little need for careful resource development and usage. Proceeding slowly and taking the advice of the advanced players in a guild can provide a very rewarding game experience. A number of bad reviews cite problems with plundering. There are a few strategies that you can use to avoid being plundered. The simplest techniques are to collect resources regularly and construct buildings that can’t be plundered. Once you gather a resource, you can’t lose it! I don’t keep a defensive army and don’t waste precious space on defensive buildings. I rarely get plundered and usually only lose an inconsequential amount of one resource. I’ve been in too many games where you can protect only a small fraction of what you collect and lose every other resource you farm, mine, or discover. As I mentioned above, by exploring membership in a variety of guilds you can find a number of players who generously support your efforts with trades and useful game info.

It’s a good game and I have been playing it in my free time for the last year and I enjoy it.

Yes you can play and advance without spending real money, but the criticisms are still partly valid. At first it’s not that big a problem, but as you advance, the pace crawls with lots of mundane tasks required to keep things going. You could play by checking in for a few minutes several times a day, but you can’t really play for long periods unless you are content to grind through accumulating resources like supplies. Trouble is that if you don’t do the grinding they don’t accumulate that fast because you have to intentionally act to collect everything or it just sits uncollected. As for the fun stuff like conquering, being able to do that requires inordinate time grinding through the collecting. Costs and space requirements grow quickly. Also, I have problems hitting the right icon. I’m constantly doing that and having to close the popup and try again. Seems like the alert icons are slightly off.

A great game for those who love turn based fighting and solving tasks that the game gives you. Join a guild and experience great camaraderie and don’t forget to stop at your friends taverns for a quick one.

Really great game, very interesting! Thank you!

They make it nearly impossible to play this game without buying diamonds (game currency.) I played for about 6 months and spent waaaay too much money for a past time! Also, the developers say diamonds only buy you time and you can play the entire game without diamonds. That’s true, however, the game takes too long to play without diamonds and it’s terribly boring. Playing mostly involves waiting and waiting and waiting. For instance, if you’re lucky, you can win a Rogues Hideout. A rogue is a type of soldier you can use to do battle. It takes all of 5 minutes to lose your rogue in battle and it takes 24 hours to build another one. And that’s relatively fast in comparison to most of the other things you end up having to wait for! Plus, if you come up against an army you can’t defeat, you can usually negotiate your way forward. The trouble is, you only get 3 free guesses to figure out what you need to pay for the negotiation. If you’re not successful after the third guess, you either have to pay diamonds to continue guessing or you must give up and forfeit all the goods you’ve already used trying to negotiate. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! They have some very creative ways of making you spend your money! I can’t recommend this game at all unless you have a lot of disposable income that you can use to help keep this game interesting. And I’m talking a LOT of disposable income because everything in this game is expensive! It’s really easy to drop $49.00 on this game and lose it in less than a day! Beware! This game is a money pit!

It’s a fun game to play but you reach a point in the game where you battle but must upgrade your troops so it’s either spent real money or wait until you have enough forge points to upgrade your troops

Forge of Empires is a challenging game that takes a lot of thought and requires you to strategize to move ahead . Being able to turn buildings and move them to fit your grid is something on my wish list. The game however has become a favorite of mine because of its challenging features. It’s not a game for the easily frustrated. Try it you’ll like it!
