Review summary

Players generally praise the game’s fresh concept, depth, and wealth of content (hundreds of heroes, many events, and a history-themed setting). However, they frequently cite crashes, ongoing bugs, and progression blockers. Monetization is a major concern, with pushy prompts and perceived pay-to-win barriers. Progression for newcomers can be slow, and some desire a broader, more varied roster of heroes.

Pros

Fresh, engaging concept with depth and fun animations
Rich content including hundreds of heroes, a challenging campaign, and frequent events
History-themed setting with varied heroes and lore that adds flavor and replayability
F2P-friendly balance and potential to stay competitive without heavy spending

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues, especially during battles and portal interactions
Aggressive monetization with constant real-money prompts, gated progression, and an overpriced shop leading to a pay-to-win perception
Slow progression and gating for new players, with high-level requirements blocking access to rewards
Persistent bugs, glitches, and progression blockers (e.g., UI/game crashes, broken content)
Limited or repetitive hero pool from the portal; requests for more diverse, additional heroes

2026-06-24	le*****	I love this game so so much, but haven’t been able to get into it for almost 16 hours now. The home screen just loads and loads. (All my other apps work, so I know its an issue with the app…)

2026-06-23	Du*****	The worst part of this game by far is managing cultural sites. It’s hard enough just to manage the space that you have. Making players figure out how to optimize based on cultural site placement is such an unnecessary waste of time and it really ruins the pace and enjoyment of the game.

2026-06-13	He*****	These guys are scum. They just acknowledged ripping me off due to a bug and told me that they weren’t going to fix it. They take every opportunity to milk you for cash to the point where you can’t complete ANY of the event tasks without spending real cash. Avoid inno!

2026-06-10	ha*****	The new update, Atlantic is super worse.

2026-06-10	Ве*****	A completely unbalanced game, where bettors are deliberately fed by regular players. In the Battle of Atlantis, bettor alliances are 3-4 times stronger than regular alliances. If you want to be fodder for a bunch of bettors, then play. That scum from Inno Games doesn't know how to make balanced games.

2026-06-09	An*****	I've been playing for just over a week. I've played dozens of mobile games and this looked like one of the better ones. What it has going for it - you can play on multiple platforms, great design idea - develop you heroes by building and improving your city. Fun stuff! On the downside - it's a real slog, unless you cough up lots of $$ and/or spend a lot of time watching a bunch of videos. You spend hours waiting for a building to complete or more food, etc. This is a management problem. Stop being so greedy! Devs you are doing a great job!

2026-06-05	j0*****	The previous reviewer is correct and the company is misleading in its response. It is not based solely on fiction. The company is based in Germany and the characters have a biography section that is intended to be based on actual facts. Karl Marx is not described as a villain really and is more hailed as a controversial hero. In the game, he is one of the better 3 star characters. Outside of the contradictory depiction of characters that could be brainwashing to younger players, the game has come a long way. The chat still leave a LOT to be desired and the repetitiveness of the settlements each week tends to get boring. Sometimes they have way too many simultaneous events going on at the same time as well. It’s a newer game so glitches will be found. I’ve learned that whenever I turn one in, they respond with “that couldn’t have happened” before investigating and always refuse to compensate for items the game took from you. They don’t care as much about customers as they say they do here in the Apple Store. Finally, Inno is the same company as Forge of Empires. Instead of creating something entirely new, they are stating the battlegrounds which is basically the guild battlegrounds in FoE. Many left FoE because of the changes to GbG, so a lot in my alliance are about to do the same for the same reason. Idk why they couldn’t think creatively and come up with a whole new concept. This could have been a magnificent game if they knew something about customer service, didn’t just cater to the German version of history, and would listen to the users regarding the chat client interface and redundancy of the various aspects of the game. Don’t spend money. They will charge you more than advertised, so if do spend money, please be careful to scrutinize every single transaction.

2026-06-01	Vo*****	I just started playing this today, but it’s extremely good! Some characters lack voice lines, sfx are pretty repetitive, but (i think) the game is new so it is to be expected. But overall I like this game a lot :3

2026-05-28	Bc*****	The game has a bunch of annoying mechanics that if fixed would make the game better. Speed up the combat, I cannot control the outcome so let me skip the fights or allow me to speed it up faster than 1.5x that’s not fast enough. The game pausing when heroes use their abilities is so damn stupid. Why pause the entire game, during PvP it’s just abunch of stupid pauses is so damn annoying In the Tesla fights, why do I also have to race against the timer, 2 minutes is not long enough. Remove the timer, the Tesla fights are already annoying enough why do you also have to beat the timer.
