    The app suffers from persistent stability issues, including frequent crashes, freezes, and numerous glitches that affect core gameplay features like loading screens, village views, and tutorials. Despite some minor improvements, users consistently report buggy performance, unresponsive controls, and poor support for fixing these problems, making the experience frustrating and often unplayable on mobile devices.

    • “Runs great on HTC One M8.”
    • “Looks good, runs great.”
    • “The app has always been subpar, with constant crashes, buggy interfaces, and a lack of functionality compared to the web version of the game, but now it literally doesn't work at all.”
    • “I have played Tribal Wars for over 10 years. The original Tribal Wars app is a dream but this is crap. Can't play at all; get all the way to it telling me to click here for map, I click and app freezes literally every single time. Complete waste of time, I'll just stick with the original.”
    • “It freezes when loading info about someone else's village (vital to playing the game), and music randomly begins playing even with music switched off.”

    The game's graphics receive mixed feedback, with many praising the clear, beautiful artwork and improved visuals compared to the original, while some find them basic or overly simplistic. Users appreciate the smooth UI and appealing art style but note occasional lag and battery drain issues. Overall, the graphics are considered good and enjoyable, though some feel there is room for enhancement and better customization.

    • “Probably the best game I have ever played. I want to give the graphics 7 out of 5 stars, but the maximum is 5! The gameplay is outstanding, the sound and environment are excellent. You must play it at least once in your life.”
    • “The app feels really smooth, the art style is amazing, and there are no constant ads popping up like I've seen on other games of this type.”

  • gameplay

    The gameplay is generally praised for its solid mechanics, strategic depth, and addictiveness, offering a classic RTS experience reminiscent of older games. However, issues such as pay-to-win elements, server problems, unclear UI elements, limited customization, and balance concerns—especially for new players—detract significantly from the overall experience. While some find the gameplay enjoyable and engaging, frustrations with controls, bugs, and unfair mechanics persist among the community.

    • “The gameplay is outstanding. The mechanics and sound are excellent, creating an immersive environment. You must try it at least once in your life.”
    • “The gameplay is great just like the browser version, smooth and appealing with straightforward mechanics.”
    • “As you dive into the game, you uncover strategies and different gameplay elements, making it very engaging.”
    • “Can't link reports, app keeps disabling the attack preset at least once a day, little to no info on certain gameplay elements (tribe skills, for example, are just the name and a picture, nothing else), no or very limited UI customization (why can I not disable outgoing attack info on map view?), some reports come back in code (for example shows "get.report.attack" or some such) and for some reason, the app sometimes starts itself back up after closing.”
    • “They will never listen to the players and continue to add in more ways for money instead of balancing gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay is just awful, not clear on what to do or how to play.”
  • story

    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 70% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The story and quest system in the game faces significant issues, with many players encountering bugs that prevent completing early tutorial missions, especially those involving item use like wood boosters. There is also criticism about the lack of rewarding and meaningful quests, limited ways to earn gold without in-app purchases, and requests for more engaging and informative missions or progression systems. Overall, players appreciate the game but highlight that quest-related bugs and minimal story-driven activities hinder the experience.

    • “Its a slow game to start at first however they have fixed that with missions and rewards to get you going.”
    • “Please the game Tribal Wars 2 needs more useful updates, more information, and missions to do, just saying.”
    • “Really looking forward to future updates: 1) tribal/global live stream chat are implemented into the mobile version, 2) more side quests, 3) jumping into coordinates on mobile, 4) a world without crowns!”
    • “There are bugs with the quests; some of them show real Java code with no explanation, just a blank screen.”
    • “Can't complete beginner quests as reported by other players.”
    • “Using wood booster for starter quest crashes my game, making it impossible to progress.”
  • music

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 66% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The game's music is generally well-received and enjoyable, enhancing the overall experience. However, there are significant bugs causing music to play uncontrollably, such as looping login music, music continuing when muted, and it resuming during attacks or app inactivity, which many users find frustrating. These issues with audio settings not sticking detract from an otherwise positive impression of the sound design.

    • “Fun to play and great sound and music!”
    • “I like the visual improvements and also I really enjoy the music.”
    • “I love the music too.”
    • “The game is great, but the audio settings don't stick. I turn off the sounds and music, and they randomly come back on while still being unchecked. Please fix for 5 stars.”
    • “Sound effects and music keep playing every time you load a realm, even if you've turned them off before.”
    • “It freezes when loading info about someone else's village (vital to playing the game), and music randomly begins playing even with music switched off.”
  • monetization

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 47% negative mentions

    Players criticize the game's heavy reliance on microtransactions and pay-to-win mechanics, with many feeling there are limited ways to earn in-game currency without spending real money. While some appreciate the absence of intrusive ads, the monetization strategy is often seen as a cash grab that detracts from the overall experience.

    • “No ads in your face although there is an element of pay-to-win with coins allowing purchase of units and fast building.”
    • “But money talks and the in game purchases are required if you want to compete to win, however are not essential for a simmer in the early stages of the game.”
    • “Including trying to buy in game funds (through the in app purchase).”
    • “The amount of microtransactions is terrible.”
    • “Was a fan of the original (already paid advantage) but now it's nothing but microtransactions.”
    • “The game is good but there are no ways to earn gold except for in-app purchases. At least add some missions to earn gold.”
  • grinding

    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is often hindered by pay-to-win mechanics, making it difficult for non-paying players to compete, especially given the lag and farming difficulties on mobile. PC players have an advantage thanks to bots and online tools, while issues like army loss during transfers and UI frustrations further complicate the grinding experience. Suggestions include dedicated farming worlds and improved interface controls to ease the grind.

    • “The game makes it way too easy for players that pay to get ahead of someone grinding, which makes this game unplayable for people who don't want to pay to win.”
    • “PC players have a massive advantage over mobile players, especially with all the bots and online tools they use to help them with farming.”
    • “Farming is very painful because of how much the app lags.”

    • “Funny that there is no error with the part charging me money, just the part where I don't get crowns.”
    • “Registered another account on the same email and started a new game for web :D It's funny.”
    • “Support has zero sense of humor; I mean, how can you ban someone from contacting support?”
