What we measured

Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.

How these are measured

Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
2 themes reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
90% or more five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

In the package we scanned

No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

What the analysis found

App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.

Methodology

The catch list 1

Charges we publish at a strength we stand behind: measured from an artefact, agreed by independent sources, or reported by enough users to clear that charge's own published bar.

Reported by users: Pay to progress
Reported by 46 usersReported by users, not measured — nothing we can inspect could show this either wayview evidence
Advancement or competition is gated behind spending money rather than playing.
What we saw: Raised by 46 distinct reviewers — 9.1% of the 504 reviews scanned on this store leg (App Store).

One source only — shown, not confirmed 1

A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.

Reported by users: Reports that the ads misrepresent the app
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
Reviewers repeatedly report that the app is not what its advertising showed. We never see the ad creative itself, so nothing we collect can corroborate or refute this — it is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
What we saw: Misleading advertising: raised by 16 distinct reviewers (3.2% of 504 reviews scanned)

Highlighted reviews

Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.

Pay to progress
“Worst game in history — Genuinely one of the worst “war strategy” games I’ve ever played, completely pay to win, constant updates BUT if you don’t spend money then you don’t get any good prizes except for basic resources, they released…”

“Pay to Win — Sick of games just utilizing pay to win mechanics. It’s fun but by the time you get invested you have to invest your life savings to progress at the rate of others who are willing to do so.”

“Pay to Win, Slot machine, AI Slop Scam — Another one of those “kingdom” games. You either take the micro-transactions route, spend ALL your money for maybe showing in the top 50 of the server for a week; Or you take the grind route…”
