Dark War:Survival 12+

Game play is easy enough to understand even for beginners. Each level gives you goals to work towards completing and gives you the freedom to level up Heroes, buildings or skills first- this is where your strategy comes in. You’ll be rewarded with a decent amount of Rubies to speed up most Construction until about level 10. From there you’ll want to work on reserving these as Construction time tables will significantly increase. As far as your Heroes, after they reach level 30 you’ll spend most of your time completing Radar tasks to find enough food to continue to level them up, this is where I see other plays complain that the game is “pay to play”. 1 million food for 1 Hero to level up becomes several hours of game play where you have to limit your focus away from other important tasks like continuing to upgrade your Watchtower (your camps primary security) against nightly attacks.
The biggest improvement the game could make is to make your Village shield 24 hours instead of only 8 hours at a time, this becomes gimmicky (money grab feeling) after the first 3 days of actual game play when your free village shield expires, from there your Village will be vulnerable to attacks and need a new Shield every 8 hours.

Many players either stop playing after their initial Shield ends or move to other games with less pay walls.

Pros: easy to start/ addicting
Cons: game requires multiple check ins a day/ increasing pay walls as levels advance

The “free starter skin” is not at all possible to obtain as a F2P player. tried twice and only managed to get close to 7m out of the 10m requirement (and that is when I’m playing literally most of the day everyday and rushing as fast as possible.) and then the event ends. So im really disappointed with this outcome when it was achievable in WoS.
The mini map doesnt show the correct position of where you are on the world map and the events that had taken place,
When gathering resources theres mulitple issues there, when gathering the incorrect troops get sent causing me to manually select the troops to be sent otherwise they make multiple trips to even a small resource tile (even with enough troops on standby). Had multiple resource tiles show incorrect info (like a lvl 2 tile showing to hold over 4,000,000 inside its info, and outside showing 0)
The game tho buggy is actually interesting and I do very much love the ability to drive around the map that and that you can change your mind midway to a location and relocate that truck to where ever else . That I give a high score to , but making it impossible to get that skin without paying money leaves me with a not really wanting to put money into this game

First of all, nothing at all like the ads or even the pictures in the App Store. So, wth is that?

As you progress you find out you are just a punching bag, or mining resource for everyone more powerful than you. The best part is that the game doesn’t gift or grant you a free shield after being attacked. So stronger bases are free to continue attacking you until you are zeroed out. Yay. I progress and build and mine just for someone to come along and steal it all. Lame. Really lame. I’m tired of being scouted no matter where I relocate or alliance I join. There is nowhere to hide. What’s the point? Get stronger and ruin someone else’s day? That’s not fun.

I’d much rather have a solo experience without the usual “join an alliance, make donations” stuff. The open world thing is fine until you start getting raided and losing resources. Honestly with so many games, the fight against other players should be an option, not everyone likes coming back to a wrecked home. The Catherine character, the anime bimbo with cat ears is a bit ridiculous, follows the typical cliches. The other females are sexed up too but the cat thing? Overall it’s nothing new, same as a ton of other app games I’ve already played. But it’s new and the graphics are pretty, I’ll stick around until the paywall hits.
