Poor game, no new developments and it's glitchy. DO NOT PLAY!!! – Kingdom of Zenia: Dragon Wars Review

I had always liked this game. Not any longer. There are several areas with problems and the new developers who purchased it don't seem to care about improving it, expanding it or even care for it. The new developers have had it for over a year now. The only thing they sort of improved was to remove some hackers. Not all the hackers, only the most obvious were removed. Personally seeing level 50+ players that have over 30 billion in gold, millions in resources or hundreds of thousands in gems should be a good enough indicator that an account should be reset, but I guess not in their book. They have not allowed the return of specialty holiday items to be purchased for your town. There are some older players' towns who have Easter eggs (and other Easter items), unique 4th of July decorations, and even rabbid rabbits that walk about your town killing the strolling peasants. The program code should still be within the app, all they need to do is reactivate those items so people could buy them during holidays. There is a majorly annoying glitch where you will continually get a pop-up asking you to review the game. Click 'Later' and it will likely pop back up after each interaction involving another player. You can click 'OK' and write a review, but more then likely it will pop up again every time you close and restart the game. They know about the glitch from game feedback and reviews by many, many players - yet don't respond with any advice on how to fix the issue, or even if they are working towards fixing it. This pop-up glitch even ignores the parameter within the iOS settings that is supposed to stop any app from asking for reviews. I have tried changing this setting but it will not impact on this game and its constant pop-up requests. I guess these developers don't feel they should have to follow the rules every other app developer has to follow. If the previous items aren't enough to discourage you from playing this game, there are more problems within the gameplay itself and it doesn't look like they will be addressing these either. It is almost impossible to compete against many of the older players. Especially those that have used past hacks to earn massive amounts of gold, resources and gems. There are a group of alliances that always get the top 3 spots in the weekly competition in each division created. At most newer and powerful alliances can only reach a high of the 5th of 6th spot in a week. There is never anyway to catch up though to those top players. This is mostly due to the fact that the top players/alliances can rush rebuilding their lost troops with the large supply of gems they've accrued (legally or by hack). Then when they win they accrue even more gems in a never ending cycle. It's not uncommon to see players from these top alliances earn 200,000 to 500,000 points, possibly even in the first day of the weekly competition. In a week, they could have earned over a million per player. The strong but lower alliances struggle to earn 150,000 as a group for that same week. If you purchase several hundreds of dollars in gems you might have a possibility of competing against these massively strong players and alliances, but even with that sort of purchase, it would not be easy. You would also probably need one or two other players in your alliance to do the same thing. There are some possibilities the developers could address to fix things: 1. Reset all players to zero - everyone starts from scratch 2. Create a second server so those that want could start a new town 3. Create a better division of weekly groups competing that would stop the same alliances winning week after week. Allowing for similarly powered alliances to compete against one another in a fair contest. 4. Expand the current game, add new levels. This probably won't do much to balance out the super supplied high-end players but it might help a little. I'm sure there are other possibilities they could try too. Sadly though, the current developers have not shown any indication that they want to improve the game, or expand the game's content. I would hate to see this game die off, but that's a better option then a company buying this game and not doing anything but draining as much real world money from its players as they can. Do NOT play this game. It's just not worth your time, effort and especially your money. Updated 4/1/2019 The hackers have found a new way to cheat. They initiate a raid that always wins, even when using the beginning peasant troop to battle a level 40+ character. It's been reported on a multitude amount of times in the past week, yet the developers haven't removed those players that are utilizing the cheat, nor have they fixed the game to stop it. I realize it may take time to fix the software, but the players should be banned immediately, instead they are winning one of the top 3 spots in various divisions weekly battles. Destroying any growth honest players are attempting.
