In app purchases – Kingdoms at War: Hardcore PVP Review

This is a fun game overall depending on how you play it. Two most annoying flaws: it takes 2-3 minutes to even get the app to open in my phone, and then: the developers have snuck in ways to scam you into spending more money and then refuse to refund you. If you don’t disable it immediately, there is a window that pops up after you finish unloading a single bar of either troops or assassins that asks if you want to purchase a refill. It doesn’t require a confirmation, and the purchase button is placed directly over the place that you were just repeatedly clicking, so this results in you making a purchase you did not mean to make using purchased in game money. This window is able to be turned off, but if you need to delete and re download the app, as i have needed to do multiple times because it is overall a very glitchy app, it is automatically turned back on. So you need to disable it every single time. This game was able to raise 50k in one weekend for hurricane relief so they are obviously not hurting for money, so it doesn’t make any sense that they would try and scam you into spending even more money without even offering a refund. I contacted support about this issue and was told that they would forward my complaint to the developers. I have already contacted apple for a refund of my purchase so my final suggestion to the developers of the app would be to please, make the default for this button to be off. I understand some players use it occasionally when trying to max out on certain ebs, but i feel like the majority of casual players just don’t use it. Players that like it can opt to turn it on, rather than having the majority of players needing to turn it off because of the default settings, and risking spending in game purchases money. I already spend quite a lot of money on this game without being scammed out of my purchases.
