Age of Empires: Castle Siege App Reviews

This game is a very good

Wanted to try this game in along time. Installed it and got a nice failed content download welcome message. It seems if has been going on since the update, so for a week or so. About time to do something, I hope..

I use to play Age of Empires for hours on the old PC version. This game needs scraped and they need to make the old version compatible with iOS. Really disappointed!

The game is a decent game to play if you just want something you can come to 1-2 a day. They provide tutorials so you can learn basic stats when laying siege and some nice challenge sieges. However, the pvp-esk aspect of the game when you lay siege on another players castle and visa-versa needs improvement. There were times when Im attacked by someone who is half my rank, but then another time Im attack by someone 10x my rank. Ive also been frequently attacked by players in the age above me. Its a major issue that needs a fix so that you only ever combat those of your relative level. Due to this issue, getting upgrades becomes a long process as you loose resources each time youre attacked, and the later ages have very high upgrade costs. Its somewhat mitigated by the daily gold earnings, but typically only for closing the last few 10,000 or so gap which even then itll typically deplete all your gold. Do not pay real money for gold, it is not that effective.

I was bog fun for Age of Empires, but this game is not legend Age of Empire.I was so exciting also I paid for golds in the game when I start but This is different game, very slow to build the city, wait, wait, wait.. When you build you can not update other buildings you can build and update just 4. Than wait, we want to play not wait. Pc version was great but not mobil...

Once you play for a short period of time it becomes obvious that you cant continue to enjoy the game without constantly spending a bunch of money or starring at a screen of upgrading buildings for literally DAYS. I could have played the old school AOE for countless hours but this game would require spending hundreds of dollars, no joke. It was kind of fun but impossible to enjoy past the initial phase. Id pay a good deal one time fee just to buy the old computer game and be able to play it on iPad.

This game is fun and competitive until you reach the 6th age. The crown system is lopsided and makes it impossible to do well or rank without spending a lot of money. You get attacked and you lose 14 crowns, but then you can never fight enough battles against competitive enough opponents to win more than two crowns at a time - and better win because it costs you 5-9 crowns when you lose. On top of all this you have to wait soooo long to build or upgrade anything- literally days and weeks. I played up until age 6 and then it just stopped being fun. The original AOE games were fun - this game is just a money trap.

Good graphic, gameplay but alliance war is needed

Its like age of empires lol.

I like the games so much. However the app consume battery power too much. Playing 1.5 hours not non stop took 30-45% battery. 48 minutes on screen playing took 24%!!! Crazy!!!!!!! It made my phone hot and hotter.

Im a huge age of empires fan, but this version sucked majorly. My biggest issue was the nonstop tutorial. The old version was better. I was given a basic plot of land and allowed to build my empire. I will never download anything from this company again. Ive been a customer since 1999, but now youve lost. If you like age of empires, dont play this game.

This game went from being fun to horrible really quickly. There are two general aspects to the game: building your castle and attacking others. At first you can build things relatively quickly, but then it takes a long time to build or upgrade anything -- 2 to 3 days -- unless you buy Gold. Fine, they need to make money, I get it. But the attacking others part is where it soon gets unbearable. The game "matches" you with other opponents, based on some mysterious algorithm. After a while ALL opponents it matches had MUCH more advanced castle than my units are capable of defeating. You can "skip" an opponent by expending food, but they just keep showing you the same set of opponents, even if you expend food! Thats right -- skip an opponent by expending your resources, and you will see it again after you skip two others! Haha, jokes on you! Im done with this game. Dont bother!

Sometimes when its logging into the gamecenter it wont budge. Otherwise good game. But fix this problem, I havent been able to play all day.

Im honestly only writing this because Im hoping that somebody with the company will read it. During a battle, I was disconnected from the server and lost crowns. Since this was not a complete fault of mine, as I was in my room and started the battle with connection, Id sincerely like the crowns I lost back. Anyone who may be able to do this can literally go watch the battle and see that there was a clear disconnection from the server that I didnt want. Thanks for your time. God bless.

The game is waiting to sign in to Game Center and it doesnt allow you to play

Started playing total war. It puts this to shame. What a SAD attempt at a once great game series. And total war is lacking a lot but a lot of fun. This is boring

Very nice strategy game honoring the classics. Need to keep if fresh and give us more ages. Seasoned players are running out of upgrade options quick.

I have played AoE for many years. This version is much different. Basically, if you want to spend real money to buy resources to upgrade your castle and fighting units, you can win most battles and prevent your castle from being overrun. Otherwise, it takes forever to accumulate resources. If you dont spend money you dont stand a chance and the game becomes very frustrating.

If you guys like the old PC versions of AoE then you will be sadly disappointed with this game. Microsoft should just port the old AoE for mobile and it be 1000 times better game than this.

I enjoyed playing this game for a couple of days but now cant because of apparent server issues. I have checked the support site but it says everything is "working fine!"
