Throne: Kingdom at War PvP

The game starts out well it's somewhat engaging just upgrading buildings but after a day you realize things start to ramp up really really quick. Upgrades start to take hours then days which is standard but then they start to take a week and you think oh I'm near maxing things out but no You just see the week counter increase and increase. At palace level 25 the upgrade to level 26 takes over 260 weeks a year is 56 weeks you cannot progress in this game without buying boosts and the game makes this very very clear by offering a lot of items and gold for cheap right off the bat but as you are forced to use it to progress at all they show you packs that cost double if not triple the starting packs for 1/10th the value it's extremely annoying and I will not spend $20 for 3million gold after getting 20million gold for $5 I'm not that stupid. I will play to help friends but I will not play to win because the only way to do that is to pay!!!

I probably play too much, but I’ve invested quite a few dollars into it. Even if you don’t spend a dime (you will) on packs, the game creators are pretty generous with gifts and bonuses. With a little commitment, you can advance pretty fast and become a formidable player within your kingdom. It doesn’t take long to learn the system and thankfully it’s not overly cluttered. Graphics are good and overall, the game runs smoothly. I’ve corresponded with Plarium and they’ve always responded well within a reasonable timeframe. I’m looking forward to seeing what new expansions they devise in future versions.

I love this game, but have a couple of serious issues. One is the frequency with which I receive a “server connection failed” message in the middle of play. This occurs often, and most times my internet connection is not the problem... which means it’s on Plarium’s end. Another, probably related, issue is that when a new version is introduced, you cannot play until you update to the latest version! Today, I have been trying to update for 7 hours, and each time the Apple app store says there’s a new version, but won’t update me! This is extremely frustrating in a real-time multi-player war game like this, as I may be getting slaughtered while I’m being refused entry! Aside from these two major issues, I love the game, and especially many of the recent improvements. If Plarium upgrades their servers, I will be thrilled!
