User Reviews

Players praise Forge of Empires for depth, strategy, and long-term progression, with many returning for years and appreciating updates. However, recurring complaints focus on monetization and pay-to-win, heavy ads, a tedious grind (especially GBG), and device compatibility issues. Overall, it’s an addictive, content-rich strategy game that shines for fans but can be frustrating for those who dislike monetization and repetitive tasks.

Pros

Engaging city-building and strategic depth that players enjoy.
Addictive, long-lasting gameplay with a satisfying progression.
Ongoing updates and improvements from the developers.
Strong long-term community and loyalty with years of play behind it.
Rich content and goals (conquest, GBG) that provide meaningful progression.

Cons

Heavy monetization and pay-to-win elements (land purchases, diamonds, and gating via Great Buildings).
Ads-heavy experience with frequent videos and occasional ad freezes.
Tedious grind and repetitive clicking in GBG with little automation.
Compatibility and performance issues on iPad and other newer devices.

Recent reviews

It’s a great strategy game that is constantly challenging. I don’t know a thing about fighting battles, but it’s fun to constantly strategize which buildings to build next, and where to invest your winnings from the events, to assist with the next goal you want to achieve in the game.
