    Good game, but pretty money focused. Smart idea for a game, but not executed the best!

However, unless you want to wait literally YEARS to get anywhere in the game, you have to buy the in-game currency, called diamonds, for real money. And, diamonds are EXPENSIVE, with packages costing from US$10 to $80. For $80, you get 10,000 diamonds. To give you an example of costs, one building costs about 6,000 diamonds. It often costs between 45 and 200 diamonds to heal your troops (or you lose them) after a single fight. Getting premium items costs 500 to 900 diamonds.

    With using diamonds, it can take you YEARS to get through to the final levels of the game, because every time you pass a level, things take longer and cost more and more. And, if you don't have lots of diamonds, you can't progress, and you can't do many of the essential things to progress.

    I spent about US$2,000 playing the game, mainly as research to see what it takes, and to get an idea of the game play for a potential competing game that will not cost so much money. I was shocked. $2,000 got me only about 60% through the game. I got super tired of the repetitive tasks and nature of the game (each level is just a repeat of the prior level...you "farm" goods, but just different (and more costly) goods each level, and you build fighting troops each level. Whoop-dee-doo...big deal. So I finally spoke my mind in the game's forum, and criticized how expensive it is, and how InnoGames makes anything that is fun in the game cost diamonds (aka, real money). They think very carefully about how to extract the most real money from players. Within 12 hours of the time I made that post, they shut my account down. I guess InnoGames, a German company, has not heard of the concept of free speech.

    If you play on an iPhone, or iPad, you cannot do significant things in the game, like the entire Guild v Guild part is not possible in IOS devices (as of 10/2016). There are a lot of other small advantages if you play on a PC rather than an IOS, and that sucks.

    The game is a huge waste of time, and an expensive one. Any xBox One game is way more fun, has way better graphics, and you buy it once for $60 or so, and you don't have to keep feeding it more money. Get a new game on a gaming console, and have fun, and definitely skip Forge of Empires!    … Expand

    Expensive free game as everything is geared towards making you spend money. Buyer beware. Get past that and then you find the cheating.Expensive free game as everything is geared towards making you spend money. Buyer beware. Get past that and then you find the cheating. Difficult to get past that and the developers and moderators don't even try to fix it - being apparently far more interested in making people spend money than in dealing with the endemic multi accounting, bot usage and auto clicker culture that exists in some guilds. Ruins the game for everyone else but 'hey! chances are the cheaters spend money so we'll just ignore it'.… Expand
