5 stars: A game that looks like a pay-to-win on the surface, but actually has a lot of thought and effort put into it. Sure, you can pay for some upgrades to accelerate your progress, but you can succeed in the game just fine without spending a penny. Good time killer and something to check on every once in a while, it was genuinely a pleasant surprise
4 stars: NO ADS! Online pvp and svs, admins are good with keeping it updated and fixing bugs quickly. Good community and excellent gameplay. Only a 4/5 because if the heavy pay to win culture in the game, and it's not a cheap pay 2 win. Like 5-7$ for cheap packs and some go up past $100. You can F2P, but you'll miss out on at least 1/3 of the possible upgrades or fall behind others on your server.
3 stars: I like the game so far, 3 stars? Because you allow people 10 levels above a new player to attack people who are trying to build their city 1st and aren't attacking anyone. You should make it where people can attack people at the same level (only) or 2 levels higher (only). It basically makes people lose 100% and cost a lot to rebuild troops and heal them when they get attacked by someone who is way stronger. It should be a lot more fair.
