reviews
Originally enjoyed the game very much, you always have something to grind towards, the community is great, but you do have to constantly be active to climb fast. And if you miss out on the wrong day you will lose SO MUCH progress. As your troops can get targeted even if you are offline. Lost 1/4 of my power for not shielding up for 4-6 hours. Which was about 1 week or more of playtime with the way I played the game. That turned me right off. Will not be playing again.

waste of time. I only continue playing to kill time. plus I've wasted time since April upgrading everything. I finally made it to the fire crystal levels. However as everyone says it's a pay to win game. The fire crystals are rare and you only get few a day. People that have money to burn are at the maximum level. Only certain people win every single event. UUsually the same person. I do not recommend this gane to anyone. The ads are fake. You can't even block the ads.

This game is false advertising. I loved the ability to move my character on my own and collect resources, and put them where I wanted. It also freezes heavily, and I couldn't even get past the first scene. It's all online, and it's frustrating. Un-installed, and if I could give this game zero stars, I would! Also, the responses to the reviews are automated, and they don't help with anything at all!

Game runs in portrait mode and crashes every third cut scene. Even if it were playable in wide screen and didn't freeze up (lol) every few minutes, the gameplay is pretty boring, it's basically just tapping through an upgrade tree. There's virtually no problem solving or even decision making. It's sort of a spiritual successor to Progress Quest. The art and sound are really nice and polished, the look and feel of the game is alright besides the crashing and weird portrait mode issues.

Constant disconnects, regardless of reinstalling and restoring the game 3 times now. I have a brand new Pixel phone and high speed wifi, customer service hasn't been helpful at all. Hard to run events and fight, when I can disconnected every 5 minutes for 20 seconds. Also, this game just needs a lot of refining. Similar games are far more personalizable and hashed out. No thought put into the alliance system, there needs to be separate leadership roles, not just R4.

Another Pay-to-Win War Game. The ads are based on the story, not actual gameplay. The pictures in this Google page are not of anything in-game. It's VERY pay-to-win. Cash spenders rank up super fast, and once you get top on the leaderboards, it keeps rewarding you even more. If you are playing for free, it is impossible to keep up and be able to defend against the PTW people. If you have cash, you can do what you want. I've spent over $100 and am still lacking. Likely un-installing

Too pay to win. While there are a lot of things to do, you will never win against someone with a large wallet in this game. Granted you can slowly advance for free, to be the best you have to pay, in every event as well. I have played for a while and every new thing, comes with a heavy price tag. It's just not fun anymore. New buildings for your island are all pay items lately. Placing well on holiday events? People can pay to get event items to be on top. There is no skill to the game.

At first, I was frustrated that the game wasn’t like the ads, but it quickly turned into a pleasant surprise. The gameplay is engaging, and I found myself immersed before long. However, some in-game upgrades take an unreasonable amount of time to complete, and buying speed-ups feels like the only practical solution since they’re difficult to earn otherwise. It would be much better if this aspect were more friendly to f2p players, allowing everyone to progress without feeling pressured to spend.

It's a good game up until a point. But eventually it becomes so long to build / upgrade things, that it becomes pointless to play unless you're going to pay for speedups etc. And when I say long, I mean 21 actual real world days to upgrade a furnace. So unless you pay, you basically can't do anything else for 21 days. Not sure who's idea that was, but I've pretty much stopped playing all together now.

I am giving this game a 4 star rating solely based on the fact it does NOT play like the ad. The ad I kept seeing for this game was a playable ad with a guy with an ax killing polar bears for meat and selling it to buy stuff and upgrades. That looked fun, and so wanted to try it out. Come to find out, it's just another city builder game. It's not too bad though. But at least Last War actually has some gameplay in it like the playable ads, this so far does not. I wish it did. Devs add it like ad.

It's a good game, but could be better if they didn't cancel my rallies for not having enough people fighting with me. Let me go it alone if I must, so I can get the daily rewards for at least trying. It wasn't a problem before, but something changed. Also, people are attacking long after my shield goes up. Is there a gameplay mechanic that allows attacks regardless of shields?

Your advertisements are nothing like the game. Your advertisement that made me download this showed free roaming controls (joystick), floor squares for upgrades, instant upgrades (timewise), and brighter cartoon like visual. Your game is not free roaming controls, your upgrades are a click button after you find what you're trying to upgrade, you have to wait for the upgrades to "build", and there's nothing bright about this.

Seems like it may be fun... Unfortunately it keeps freezing non-stop. Can't play it for more than at max 10 minutes before it just freezes. Ok so the game shows pay to win mechanics. Changed to one star. That kills the games potential for the simple purpose of greed????????. Most games have it as an option but this game shoves paid features down your throat like crazy and seems to be unbeatable if you don't pay. Free to play, but unfortunately pay to win.

The game is fun. But it is a serious flaw that you're stuck on one server and can't do anything to move. I started a new character and decided this time I'd spend money since I've been enjoying the game so much. The new server quickly has become a toxic cesspool of drama. And I can't do ANYTHING to leave until some state transfer event which doesn't occur for months. I'd have to keep playing until then to be strong enough to even get accepted to another server. This is bad design.

Take what you will from this, I only played for 5mins. It might not be this bad. But as soon as it started, the game was nothing like the ad (reason I downloaded). Instead I had to get wood, build something that has a 2sec timer on it. I'm familiar with this. Within a couple of levels the builds will begin to take hours or even days requiring power ups or real money to simply play the game. Unless you enjoy the game of waiting. Damn I miss AOE, Warcraft, etc of what these games are loosely based

It's absolutely nothing at all like the interactive ads it forces on you after literally every turn you take in words with friends. Unfortunate because that is actually quite fun. This game is well made but it's just a bit... Bland. Been done. Nothing new at all, just a standard city builder. On the plus side there are NO ADS AT ALL!

Big Waste of your time. What a stupid game when someone can attack you every 20 seconds unlimited times while your sleep so everything you've done for the last few months is worthless losing over 8000000 power which is also money wasted i guess but good luck am deleting game at least the old ones after you were attacked maybe 2 times they couldn't just keep going and also much bigger opponents. Also won't let you find who it was so you can't attack back thanks but no thanks

Super bummed. Downloaded because I enjoyed the ad during another game. Kept playing it until the ad forced me to the play store. Sadly, this game is NOTHING like it's ad. ???? And don't bother leaving the standard response I read on other similar reviews. I will not be sending the ad link to customer support. If you don't know the ads for your own game, I don't think it's likely you care to fix the problem. Just wish now I could find a game like your ad.

One more game that wants to make a fortune from micro transactions which destroy the whole experience. The story at start fades really quick. Then they repeat the same events over and over again to make you spend more money in order to be competitive. And I have a question. Where all that money goes? To content updates with mood status? really? Disappointed.
noname895012, the 07/01/2025

This game is a blatant, utter LIE. The ads AND images under the app itself show a completely different play style that I would highly prefer. I absolutely despise companies that are 100% dishonest with potential customers on what their product is about. I cannot recommend this less. This should count as false advertising and I want the time I spent on this waste back.

The overall game is fun,u0026 addicting. Quite the amazing world building game, but I'm giving one star because it ultimately becomes a play to win game. If you start an alliance within the game, and try for the main goal of that state, someone else is going to come in and pay a couple hundred dollars and basically overpower you and destroy everything you've built. Ive played this game for going on 3 weeks now, and I have two characters, one I spent money on, and one free, guess which is better?
noname167928, the 02/10/2025

There's too much going on with the game. Lots of random terminology, hard to follow things. The gear to upgrade seems unnecessary. There's just too much going on with the game. Plus, like it's been said before, it's nothing like the ads. I'm uninstall ING it now because I just realised that this is not the game I wanted nin the first place! ?

Not a survival game and not as advertised. Pro-tip: run from merge for as long and as hard as you can. You think it might be okay, but it is just the devs feeding literally everyone who isnt a whale to the whales. Why? I guess we aren't spending enough money anymore. Just transfer as high as you can every transfer until you can no longer do that and then play for as long as you can as a F2P. Then, do the same thing in whatever their next game is (for now, Kingshot is a STRIAGHT rip off.)

It's an awesome game. It's almost real life, lmao, because everybody is playing live and communicating, etc. There are different people from literally all over the world so the time zones might be difficult but it still works once you've joined an alliance and there are people in your zone that's available to help with hunting etc. u can still lvl up without spending money, but it takes a while. very addictive and cx support is always available. 10/10!!!! 3 mths in, and I haven't missed a day.

The game is fine, played for quite few hours here and there, and it's interesting enough to play, but it's vastly different from the advertisements I've seen for it. I understand ads need to be eye catching and simplified, but the ad that got me to check it out didn't play like an idle game at all. False advertisement isn't going to make people keep playing the game, it's going to make people annoyed that it isn't what they thought it was.

Was a decent game until I switched phones and lost all my progress. Which included money spent in the game. Got ahold of "service," and they needed all the information, including screenshots of all my information for the account I no longer have access to. If you don't plan on switching devices anytime soon, if you don't plan on spending money, or if you don't mind starting over at square one, it's not a bad game to play.
noname911871, the 02/10/2025

This "game" is nothing like the ads. It's become such a drain to "play" all it wants you to do is pay to play, eventually everything takes hours or multiple days to upgrade or research, unless you use speed ups which of course cost money. The events are nothing but a way to get you to spend money and of course they aren't worth doing because the rewards aren't worth it. Your limited to only a few characters since most legendaries are locked behind the paywall. Honestly I would skip this

I played the add for this game and it was super fun. then downloaded the game and came across smth completely different from the ad. the ad was like where you make swords and stuff to fight a giant polar bear. fighting the polar bear gave you meat so you could upgrade stuff. but the game is nothing like the ad. it made me mad. what a waste of my time! its literally just building and upgrading. boring if I do say so myself
noname708672, the 02/10/2025

It's absolutely nothing like the playable ad or the screenshots. This is the game Evony with snow. You'll progress rather fast doing base building until you hit around level 10. Then it will grind slower and slower, encouraging you to make micro-transactions to speed up your progress. You can make it easier by joining a strong alliance for support. But if you are considering downloading this based on the ads and screenshots then you're in for a surprise because none of that is in this game.

As many other people have said, it's totally not what's shown in the ads. The game uses AI for voiceovers and graphics which make it feel very unnatural. It feels like too much AI and there is not much effort put into it. I just played a similar game (Dark War Survival) and the style, design and gameplay seem to be so similar that it feels like the same game. Both have totally off-topic ads and feel so fake and low quality because of the AI.

Aaaaaaand it's nothing like the demo ads. It was cute for a bit but what is the point of advertising one style of game and then tricking people into playing one that's completely different? Frustrating. Your voice actors are really good and deserve their due diligence but I am so bored of games that advertise a demo and don't deliver on the actual thing.

I've been playing Whiteout Survival for a months now, and it's honestly a great game! I really enjoy the events, the unique features, and the overall theme and animations?they?re well done. I first discovered it through an ad, and while the gameplay was different from what I expected, it turned out to be even more fun and engaging than I imagined. Definitely worth a 5-star rating!
noname422928, the 02/10/2025
________________________________________________
The game is good due to the lack of ads but once you start to get higher level in everything it takes so long to upgrade things. Currently I'm upgrading my furnace from level 25u003e26 and it takes fourteen days to upgrade. Now of course you can use boosts and such but that's extreme. If you want to do a lot of the events you need to log in every single day. Overall the game is okay but once you get beyond the initial hump of how difficult things are you aren't encouraged to keep playing enough.

After playing for a few days, I uninstalled. A great concept of a game. If you have a lot of money to spare, you will enjoy this game because its definitely pay to win. You cannot enjoy the whole concept of it because paid players can buy literally almost everything that can make you advance, and leaving free to play players at extreme disadvantage.
noname726354, the 02/10/2025
________________________________________________
There are free to play as well as pay 2 play players on here. It is borderline disrespectful how devs create rewards on here, especially for the pay to play players. In the beginning a little money takes you a long ways, but as you progress, you'll spend more money but you'll find out that the rewards become less. The devs specifically target those that are impulse spenders.

Great game if your in a good state that works together like I am! Upgrading your stuff gets really expensive late game. Wish WoS did offers and deals for packs in playstore like most games do. There froststar store doesn't really get you much extra, more of a hassle then it's worth. Only get a few extra gems and it's separate from the app. Guess it's mostly for countries that don't allow the normal in game pack buying. Really fun game. Been playing for close to 2 years now and loving it!

Not at all like the advert. Very repetitive game play, fast at the beginning but after a few days everything takes for ever to upgrade/research to"encourage" payment fir speed ups. Like most of the so called free games they are full of micro transactions and adverts. I found it dull frankly there are much better prettier games out there.

A winter themed city management game with A LOT going on. It's more time investment than I was willing to make but your mileage will vary. You won't run out of things to do, that's certain. The game is generous with boosts and premium currency and I never felt pressured to watch ads or pay money. One word of warning, the ads for this game do not represent what the game is really like. But IMO, that's ironically a good thing, because the game is more interesting than the ads make it appear.

Listen, if you like to play or have played CoC , please play this game. The mechanic is almost the same, the difference is that you cant move or decorate your area , its not like the ads at all i can promise you , i downloaded it cuz of the ads just to kill time , but what do you know? its been a week now and im STILL playing it , NOT TO MENTION THERES VOICE ACTING??? perfect 5/5 rating

I am addicted to this game. I saw an ad, and it had interested me enough to download WOS (Whiteout Survival). The ad was different than the actual game, but the game is obviously more fun than the ad! I love being in an alliance and being able to chat with the people in the world chat. Their discord is also helpful. A lot of people answered my questions when I had just started playing. Also, this game has NO ADS. I am completely in love. Keep up the amazing work WOS creators and support team!
