Rise of Kingdoms: Lost Crusade

As a player, this game is extremely disappointing. What starts as fun quickly turns into a pay-to-win nightmare. Progress is painfully slow unless you spend money, while heavy spenders dominate PvP and ruin any sense of fair competition. Strategy barely matters, events are repetitive, and alliances feel like unpaid work. The game constantly pressures players to log in and spend. Overall, it’s frustrating, exhausting, and unfair. I do not recommend this game to anyone. games like this break first

Game is pretty good, requires a lot of time at the start. If you're playing because of offers just be wary of the higher payouts as they won't credit and claim you failed to meet the requirements despite proof of doing so while in the time frame required for completion. Ex. research tier IV troops which I did for infantry and knights in the time frame and they said I didn't meet the requirements.

Honestly it's not bad. The graphics are really nice and the game play is smooth. I would prefer an actual story but there rarely is one in these kinds of games. My only complaint is that they don't give you enough items to help you upgrade your buildings faster!! and the building times are pretty high up there which is a problem absolutely should be lowered a little bit. But they have pretty cheap packs if you want to buy them but you don't have to. so 4* because of the building issues!!

It was fun, graphics are great, mechanics are amazing, and I love how the game roles. the only reason I've stopped playing it is people. it's no longer kingdoms or alliances anymore, it's cults! you have to do everything the leader says, no mistakes, and you have to be on 10 hours a day, and if you are ever late to anything, even by 5 minutes, you will lose everything. many games have a singleplayer mode where it's the exact same as multiplayer, this game can pull that off too. 1 star until then

The game is definitely pay to win. Leveling legendary commanders, buildings (when you get to a certain point), research and what not requires you to drop some major cash if you don't want to wait 5 years. You have to interact with players and that'll keep you in the game or push you away from it. Racism is real in here. Most likely would not let kids play since bullying does happen--it is a war game and people get a bit emotional. Basically, it can be a fun game, just spend money.
