Stronghold Dude: Dragon Rising

every add is a black screen that doesn't end. sometimes I can see a small strip of color at the top of the screen as if the pop up doesn't cover the game completely, not enough to do anything at all. I never have an option to close the black pop up. I always have to close the game and come back.

EDIT: My dragon should've hatched on Tues, 24hrs after starting the game. Now it's Wednesday, and it's still showing over 24hrs to hatch. ORIGINAL REVIEW: It could be a great game, but it's more like an ad revenue generator for the developer(s). I even paid the $15 to remove the ads permanently, but that didn't work at all, and ads were still being shown, so I put in a refund request & Google gave me the refund.

The base game was fine and then it asks you to raid a camp that's annoying to raid three times in a row- And I stopped trying when I found out it wanted me to do it at least 28 times in a row! I'm so annoyed I wasted time on this game. There were obviously parts I didn't get to because I couldn't bring myself to keep working on a raid that was getting infinitely less useful towards growing the dragon and which got more difficult every single time.

Really looks like a fun game. My issue is with the dragon not hatching and being stuck on 24:12:30 even after 24+ hours. Also I can't find any way to level up/upgrade/equip a staff to to my second team member so feel stuck. Will probably keep the game for a little while to see any updates but if no changes I will unfortunately need to delete. Just trying to be fair.

Nice game that I would enjoy if it wasn't for the ads everywhere. I don't mind ads for boosts but this has ads for everything. Speed up the unnecessary time it takes to walk to a raid, get a slightly better version of every single thing you can build, get a temporary better sword, the list is endless. That's on top of long, often unstoppable ads what seems like every 30 seconds. I got one in the middle of a boss fight. It breaks the game which is a shame because otherwise it would be good.

good graphics, smooth play, but ads every 30 seconds

could be fun but too many ads, 10$ to go ad less

There is an interrupting advert free purchase option but this doesn't give seamless continuous game play. Raids take time to get to, (unless you watch an advert) 10s for the first but increasing by 10 seconds each time. This disrupts game play, so paying for no ads becomes pointless (or at the very least doesn't give much of an advantage).

it's a cool game. nice graphics but the ads are ridiculous. I even paid for ad free but even with that the ads are crazy. you get very limited, usually one, items per raid and often you need more than one to proceed with a task. the only way to get more is to do multiple raids or watch ads at the end of the raids. the raids take from 20s to nearly two minutes to start and the only way to speed them up is to watch ads which take as long as the mission itself.

Okay I cannot recommend this game. It seems like it could be a decent game but I've not gotten past the first 5 minutes of the game without being bombarded with ads. This is unacceptable. I've played phone games that are better with far fewer ads. I tried to check out the no ads option because some of them are reasonably priced but not this one it's $9.99 for no ads!!! Looks like it could be a good game but unless they do something about all those ads it will likely flop. This is to much!

If you don't pay the $10 for no add interruptions you will get an ad on average over 10 ads, 34 seconds in-between each ad interruption. I tracked it. Longest time I didn't get an ad was the first 1:38. I literally had 3 ad interruptions during a 1:20 fight with a boss. Every single thing you can buy gives you an extended ad, even for cosmetics on a bridge. I never give reviews for ads and this one is so gross that I had to jump in and give a review.

I really want to give this more stars but.. 1. This game was definitely not built for left-handed players, The controls are so sensitive! 2. Getting anywhere near the free resources, like on a narrow pier when you're fishing, you're constantly having to exit out! 3. And the biggest problem is FORCED ADS DURING COMBAT!! What masochists decided that was okay? Besides that it's a fun game.

Very very lame, to have a long timer on starting a mission, as if I should pay or watch ads just to play in a timely manner? That's stupidity, make it a premium game instead. Uninstalling because we shouldn't be prodded to watch or wait for like 3 minutes to get 1 sinker hook. Of course, getting the rewards has issues also, like doing all the legwork, and having to repeat it again, to get 1 piece.

It's a good game, but there are too many ads. I've been playing only a couple minutes and ive seen like 20 ads. I understand how free games need to have their ads to gain money. I just wish for less ads. Maybe then I'd be more willing to watch an ad to help out. Other than that I don't have a problem with the game it's great. Just please give less ads!!

This could be a good game if it weren't for all the ads you HAVE to watch. I get you need to pay the bills but damn. It's the same thing over and over, boring. When you get close to unlocking the boat each quest is worth 1% toward unlock. RIDICULOUS!!! you want ppl to stay and pay to play reduce the ads... or just wipe the servers and start over.

Everytime i go on a raid the travel time gets longer and longer. My last run was 2 minutes. Who really wants to stare at the screen for that long. Also the game is getting harder and harder and yet I can't upgrade my weapon, my health, or stats. You guys also drag it out levelling the dragon so he can be used in raids. Also there's forced ads although you can play offline.

I think it's a great base game, but it kinda feels like a beta. you basically have to do the campaign 3 times, and go off and wait 3 minutes in game to raid to come back and redo it. it needs more side quests to keep it interesting, maybe a shop to buy things with because my gold is just always maxed. There could be items, armor, better swords, give me a 4th companion for free, and then let me level and gear them like you started to with the mage side quest. feels unfinished. Also,skills for f2p
