Kingshot

I downloaded Kingshot thinking it was like the ads that you play for a few seconds on other games or videos. That’s about 0.01% of the actual game! City building, alliance coordination, events, troop compositions, stats, damage equations…it’s unreal how complex this game is for a mobile app! You start in the newest Kingdom (I’m in 2282) with others that are similar level to you. So you never feel far behind and you level up with the people you meet on day one. There are going to be people that spend thousands upon thousands of dollars (whales) so there’ll always be someone stronger than you. But that makes it competitive and motivating to see where you will end up eventually. I recommend you start a new character from scratch and don’t purchase one you can find on Reddit or other sources. It’s very risky and kills the whole point of leveling and growing from nothing into an absolute beast at higher levels. This game is F2P, but if you spend, it becomes an absolute blast to watch your city go from low levels to reaching big power. There’s always something to do and new events to attend. You’re rarely just sitting idle wondering what to do next. I’ve met some of the coolest people I’ve ever met in games through my alliance. The teamwork needed in this game is second to none. You are no one alone. I’ve only been playing for a month and a half and I’m just getting started. Highly recommend this game for all ages and make sure you have Apple Pay setup before downloading! :)

Overall I think this game is great. There’s lots of active members, usually an event going on, it’s very engaging (unlike others like this game), and overall it’s pretty fun. Of course there are some flaws to every game but in my opinion this game has just a few. Like not having many hero’s. There are a few hero’s all you can easily unlock but I would like to see even more hero’s it just feels like a lack when I go to the hero area and just see the few that are there. I also believe certain events that are held should be longer like the fishing event felt very short and the regeneration rate of the items was very slow. I know they want you to spend money which I will admit I have on this game but I think they could improve the events. Another thing is maybe even expanding our kingdoms even more. I have unlocked and leveled up everything to a decent level in my kingdom and it just is kinda sad to see it all done. Maybe they can figure something out and add more to build and stuff into the kingdom. Like I said i genuinely love this game it’s engaging and fun and I usually don’t spend money on games but this one for some reason made me want to do it. But the game feels very short and not a lot of content. I truly believe there is a lot they could add making it one of the better mobile games out there. But it’s up to the creators to do that for us.

Kingshot, I’ve learned, is a reskin of Whiteout Survival. A game I’ve never played - but I’ve heard game play is identical. Like that game, it’s a massively multiplayer online game with people joining from all around the world. Fortunately, there’s built in text translation. I just wish you could toggle it “always on”! Like almost every tablet and smartphone based game, the ads are horribly misleading. This is NOT primarily a tower defense game - and you never get to play exactly as depicted in the ads. Kingshot is a city building game with research and resources gathering, plus some team battle events. You CAN play independently, but you’ll get kicked around lots, and be quickly left behind in growth since you get significant bonuses for joining in and being active with an alliance. You CAN play for free if you can ignore the ceaseless offers for helpful perks. Most of us are “low pay” players who spend just a little bit a month. There are massively powerful WHALES, who have spent many, many thousands of dollars to become powerful. You can’t hope to beat them. Only to match them, if you’re willing to spend just as much. Most of us just stay out of their way and find comparable level opponents during the scheduled battles.
