Dark War:Survival 12+

Great but…

Game play is easy enough to understand even for beginners. Each level gives you goals to work towards completing and gives you the freedom to level up Heroes, buildings or skills first- this is where your strategy comes in. You’ll be rewarded with a decent amount of Rubies to speed up most Construction until about level 10. From there you’ll want to work on reserving these as Construction time tables will significantly increase. As far as your Heroes, after they reach level 30 you’ll spend most of your time completing Radar tasks to find enough food to continue to level them up, this is where I see other plays complain that the game is “pay to play”. 1 million food for 1 Hero to level up becomes several hours of game play where you have to limit your focus away from other important tasks like continuing to upgrade your Watchtower (your camps primary security) against nightly attacks.
The biggest improvement the game could make is to make your Village shield 24 hours instead of only 8 hours at a time, this becomes gimmicky (money grab feeling) after the first 3 days of actual game play when your free village shield expires, from there your Village will be vulnerable to attacks and need a new Shield every 8 hours.

Many players either stop playing after their initial Shield ends or move to other games with less pay walls.

Pros: easy to start/ addicting
Cons: game requires multiple check ins a day/ increasing pay walls as levels advance

Fun until the same person attacks you 10+ times everyday until you move

I liked the game until it wasn’t enjoyable. The game is easy to play as you start with very little and slowly collect resources to upgrade your base. The higher the level the longer the upgrades will take which isn’t too bad. There are a variety of ways to collect resources and in time you’ll gather heroes and upgrade as well. The problem I have is one single person can keep scouting your base and attack you more than once. I understand it’s a challenge to survive while a whole community is higher level than me but it becomes annoying when one person decides to attack and steal my resources over and over. I woke up to around six+ attacks from the same person just taking all my resources and leaving me with not enough to heal my wounded army. The same person knows my location and keeps attacking any day all the time. I basically either have to change guilds as a new player and relocate again or spend all my resources every night before I log out. I decided I’m not going to play a game with the same high level person attacking me over and over everyday. If you decide to play this game then I suggest you find a good guild fast and make friends for support because people will farm your resources away from you everyday until you move

Needs work and be a little more F2P friendly

The “free starter skin” is not at all possible to obtain as a F2P player. tried twice and only managed to get close to 7m out of the 10m requirement (and that is when I’m playing literally most of the day everyday and rushing as fast as possible.) and then the event ends. So im really disappointed with this outcome when it was achievable in WoS.
The mini map doesnt show the correct position of where you are on the world map and the events that had taken place,
When gathering resources theres mulitple issues there, when gathering the incorrect troops get sent causing me to manually select the troops to be sent otherwise they make multiple trips to even a small resource tile (even with enough troops on standby). Had multiple resource tiles show incorrect info (like a lvl 2 tile showing to hold over 4,000,000 inside its info, and outside showing 0)
The game tho buggy is actually interesting and I do very much love the ability to drive around the map that and that you can change your mind midway to a location and relocate that truck to where ever else . That I give a high score to , but making it impossible to get that skin without paying money leaves me with a not really wanting to put money into this game
