empires & puzzles

I've been playing this game for 3 years now and it was once a really fun game. But greed has since taken over and it is very heavily pay to win. You can play for free but you won't really enjoy it much unless you're willing to break out your wallet. Just to give you an idea, to pull a 5 star hero your chances are less than 2%. Gems to perform 10 draws cost roughly $30. You don't need to be a mathematician to know those are costly odds. Unless you keep up with the heroes, you'll lose constantly.

Fun game, but very unfair. Personally I chose to spend money and if I could go back and just be a free to play I would. There is no incentive to spend, me and a friend started about the same time and his team is almost as good as mine and he has not spent a dime. Then they will change a hero and make them pretty much useless after u spend to aquire them. The game itself is great.

This was a good game generally and a great premise originally. However, unless you are willing to spend money you can't continue past a certain level. You have to purchase more powerful characters and the troops in order to succeed. You also can't compete in raids as everyone else purchases very powerful characters and troops and you can't defeat them. The developer says you have an equal chance to progress, this is not true, people who pay money can access higher tier heroes then those who dont

Very clickbait-esque with an overall cliche feel. But I'll give all of that a pass because it's actually a pretty good game. Very simple interfaces, which is really beneficial for an RPG type game. The puzzles are fun, the whole base-building thing is actually done pretty well (considering the millions of other games that have tried it), and the team building is spot on. For a game that feels like it was made solely to be ad-spam, it's pretty solid.

on my third year total ive spent is over 20000! Devs did not take any of my email suggestions seriously abput offering gauranteed heroes, reducing prices, or helping free players out in any way! They practically force you to spend by giving you NOTHING as a new player. The 180 legendaries i have would take you 500 yrs as a new player! I played for free for this year, and got a measely 4 legendaries, as opposed to the near 200 i got paying...NO GAURENTEEDS, OVERPRICED, yeah "fair"...complete b.s

This game is a rip off! High level heroes are locked behind a convoluted mathematical system that is definitely not in your favor. Spent $30 had had around 30 summons I got five four star heroes that I already had. The rest where all three star heroes. The stories are good. the summoning system it's not worth it.

I enjoy the game, but very greedy development group. You get a fraction of what you put in...not just money wise. Time to participate does not get equally rewarded/compensated. Cost of gems vs value of rewards is lopsided..for bought gems rewards are a fraction of the cost. A lot of required upgrade items are extremely hard to find and are rarely rewarded. Their definition of Rare is far from the truth. I get the same "rare" hero with summons over and over again.

CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THE GAMEPLAY. EVERY WAR I'M IN I CAN'T GAIN MANA!!! I HAVE VERY FAST HEROES! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gameplay sucks! If you leave out any color hero the game board fills up with the color of the missing hero and they claim the gem generator is random and it's not true. They won't fix it. One star.

Annoying.. The board fills with a colour that is not on my team, it's definitely not ramdom at all. If you have 2 or more of the same colour hero you will not get that colour tile but mostly the colour you're missing so you have no chance, Really annoying so I've stopped spending money and maybe soon delete

It's cute and fun. I downloaded it because I enjoy Bejeweled-type games and the ads were pretty. It can be a little grindy at points, but the guild aspect has kept me playing far longer than most games I try. Update: I've been playing fairly consistently for 2 years now. Even playing for free, a good guild can keep the game fun and engaging.

This game cheats....dont play. I hit a boss at the begining of match and his power went down. Later in same match I hit the same boss with a waterfall of tiles that was 4x normal hit power and his power did not go down. Seems like at a certain point they stop losing power so you lose the match and then spend gems to finish. Scam game. Done!

Tedious and frustrating, pvp battles, wars, tile matching, summoning, ALL unfair. Most don't believe that randomness governs game play..., but that the game hinders you and your alliance continuosly in the name of "balance", I've run the board and received a diamond for every color "except" the one i needed, that happens a lot... You can also spend a fortune and receive surprisingly very little of game value, like 10 of the same hero..., game is motivated by money, not the gaming exoerience.

Edit: Changing the stars from 1 to 5 in case the game is not giving legendary heroes to those who have low rated the game. I am 36lvl and I got only 2 of them. Actually the game cheats a lot by giving your on not giving you the appropriate colored tiles. The puzzle is not a random generated one. It is intentionally being generated in such way in order to force you lose even by much weaker enemies. I miss the games of 90s. At least those games were helping people grow to fair personalities.

Always hang to move..it over 5 month can't choose combo to move u0026 no mana even u had 1o or 15 combo. An army 3 star 1500 with no special skill can defete an army 4star 3850 with 15 to 19 special skill. How that happen.now its so boring after all your allies dead they still hit you. It just like a game for a child after level 45 you will be hacker no combo no mana can't move / can't strike. Only the enemy can hit you.guaranty 90% to loose.don't know how to say diamond u0026 troops always loss.

This game sets you up well in the beginning and you learn ways to level up your characters yourself eventually of course. So in turn, this game is quite entertaining all around and I'd like to reach the end!????

This game CHEATS! After 2 y, 50-100$/m, 9 powerful teams, don't expect to win often. It always hits you with 100% accuracy while you struggle to find an interesting combination over the time after X turns. Example? You fight against monocolor enemy. By "luck" EACH round he always hits you. But when you're away and it's another player who attacks your base, your own 1 color army is ALWAYS severely and logically beaten. I'm tired of loosing 70% of the time when I, theoritecally, should win by 80%

I find that the development team meddles a little too much in the strategy of this otherwise excellent game. There is no consistency, in raids and battles, you get beaten by teams that shouldn't stand a chance. Makes for frustrating play and calls for a tremendous amount of patience.

I used to give it 5 stars but it's become gradually more and more money oriented. They could have earned money and at the same time made a proper game, but hey the greed is tough to beat. They'd rather earn those 2 cents more, with the cost of having unsatisfied players and biased game flow. Slow clap.

I see there is a lot of complaints about the game is set up to get as much money from us as possible. Which I agree. I been playing for well over a year and I still can't even acend my players because they don't give me the materials I need. No matter how much I play. But seriously they not going to listen to us at this point. They making to much money now living the good life. Do you honestly think they care. NOPE! We need to be united and stop spending our money then I bet they listen...

This is a new review for the makers of this game. After the last update this game turned into a joke. You can not fight someone with a inferior army and get beat up several times. Since the update this happens frequently. You should look into this. Shame for this update.
