again more incompetence from a greedy developer, we need to pick a faction but barely get any info on what they do, they show the faction ranking ONLY after picking a faction and then ask you 500 gold to change faction right at the start of the game. It's because of greedy devs like these that gamers can't have good games anymore.
Please, you need to know well something before giving an opinion, in this way, you will write good feedback always. In our discord, you can find all the necessary info about factions. And yes, change of faction cost gold, since you fighting for a faction, and if you betray your faction, need cost something for that. That is why, you need decide well before join to one.

just found out another underwhelming funfact :D you have to pay recources to give your hero the skillpoints you already earned by xp/training :D maybe i should start to post one every day for my own amusement as long as i have to log in anyway :D

The last event cheated many of their winnings and the current one isn't even showing on many players. And the standard and only answer from devs is to log on another server because they can't seem to be bothered to read Kong forum posts. The only good thing is that they've fixed the worst memory leak. But that's like saying "Your ship was sinking, rotten and on fire. Now you've put out the worst fire. It's only smoldering, rotten and sinking."
please avoid spread "fake comments" of the project, or in this case of how we handle the Kong forum. If you take the time, you can see we answer to all the post in the forum, just more slow. This forum does not provide us with the organization and agility that we seek for our project, which is why we have created the server in discord, in order to supply the community in the way we seek to do so. But also, we answer to the Kong forum post, we not avoid any problem or doubt that any player thought here.

for the first time i'm gonna have to agree with everyone that this is p2w to it's finest...i kept trying to deny it until the battle pass event was confirmed to be monthly, give this game 2 months and it will be overrun by a ton of A-tier heroes and top tier troops, 100 kreds will get you something way better than what you can get in 6 months on playing, nice way to give a middle finger...and of course when i pointed this out on chat the dev's response had to be "@raton18 ok :)"...i bet the devs don't even bother reading those surveys

For the badge diggers, this one is especially dumb and hard to get. Tip : use chasteners, imperial shooters, anything but the stormtroopers and infantry, you'll win battles easily.

just reading the comments, and I realize most people see this as a p2w game, and in more ways than one., fortunately for those unhappy with this, the dev has included multiple ways to earn gold and crystals with or without paying. just thought I'd like to throw that out there seeing as how that's seems to be one of people's one big main prblms w/ this game

I tried my best to like this game for what it was. Usually I grit my teeth to get a badge, but this one was a lot worse than the usual. I'm sorry; if you're playing it for a long while it might be good, but its a train-wreck is you're just going for the badges. Running out of certain troops happens way too often and the difficulty spike makes it far less fun overall. My best advice is to use gold to buy keys and open chests with them for good troops to carry you. Don't bother upgrading a single thing, it won't make much of a difference. Just spam loyalists and snow warriors until you win; use the support as needed and hope to god your captain doesn't wander directly into the path of fire of every other troop.
I'm sure for long-time players this is a good game, but for anyone who isn't willing to put in the time/money or after the badges; I'd move on.

I love this game! perfect combination of real time and strategic action! only thing I would change would be if I could have a bit more control over troop movements (click-drags, select next target) also more fair pvp. not a lvl 13 guy against a lvl 29 :)
We have a good support in our game for these problems. Please, contact us in our discord, and we will glad to help you as best we can. Invitation link: https://discord.gg/GCXsHsd

A lot of fun for the first 3-4 days but gets too monotonic due to slow progress really quickly.
Way too many resource and reward types to follow any ins and outs.
Some actions demand a lot more mouse clicks than expected and some actions are manual instead of automatic for no apparent reason.
Overall feeling is that I'm activating the game a lot more than actually playing.
Nevertheless - battle gameplay is cool, a lot of cool concepts, great graphics.
Thank you for your opinion @Labias. Please, join our discord, there Kongregate community have a good place to learn more about the game. Invitation link: https://discord.gg/GCXsHsd

The issue for me is, that you have no way of knowing how strong you are supposed to be for the mission. One is a cakewalk and the next is the most brutal one imaginable.
What do the recommendations in the Storyline mean? Level 5? I am 16 and they are wiping the floor with me.

who would win? 1 developer arguing about the obvious or thousands of users? i know who is loosing in this... kongregate. and this is sad
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
hi developer. pls stop caling me a liar without prooving me wrong. with the time you waste on deny the user warnings for other users, you could have made a good game. 60 players in the kong chat is not that much for a massive multiplayer in that state. so it already dies. what about making a vew 100 fake acounts and putting them on? that comes you cheeper than buying badges :)
We do not deny, just looking for not destructive feedback. A well elaborate feedback negative or not is what we want, that is all. But of course, this counting those players who just like do that "type of comments" :) and by the way, maybe on that time you were on only was 60 players online, but many others come at different time. Also, our game is on many social platforms, and all interact with each other. You can see, it's not just Kongregate's players :)

yep i did a battle and one hero alone destroyed all my forces without a sweat i,m beginning to see this game as an idle game visit and build for 5 minutes
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Wow...ranked battles are such shit, I went into a match the opponent didn't bother to deploy troops. Within the first 30 seconds I understood why, when their hero killed mine, then a squad of inf and storm troopers without having to move. It also killed both mortar positions as well, while taking less than 10% dmg. I was lvl 11, they are lvl 18, the power difference is so vast that no matter what troops or tactics I could have used it wouldn't have mattered. The match ended in less then a minute when I forfeited, cause it was obvious how broken the pvp is.

This game has been very poorly scaled, and it is clear that the developers do not know what bounded input bounded output systems are as well as linear growth models. Also this is just a terrible game in general. There is no relative control, not a lot of variables, just clicking buttons.

Trash. I was willing to put up with some of the uneven and illogical results, but there is no excuse for the cliff for things to suddenly fall off. As other users have pointed out, this has all the hallmarks of a free-to-play-pay-to-win game. I'm checking out. To the devs: GFY

how can u even say this isnt p2w when u get bombarded with BUY THIS NOW 50% cheaper GOGOGO ... not to mention he paywall comes in really early on where u cant do anything else but play farmvile for resources to upgrade buildings and produce troops which u will need if u wanne overcome the highly unbalanced AI troops . U know its super slow unless u pay , thats why its made slow in the first place but ppl these days dont want slow play or pay play , some ppl love to pay cause it gives them a sense of being good and better than the rest but thats the 1% of the playerbase and if u want that 1% to be in your game then u have a lot of work to do cause that 1% needs the 99% to entertain them and thats not happening here , the 99% is leaving as soon as they see how u tried to mask this p2w close .
The "resources time mechanic" is an old one on MMO games. Is just a matter of play this type of games, and know-how they work. Maybe the time can be improved like anything related to times. And not, our goal is to care all our community not matter if is a coiner or not. On our discord you can see this, not much to add here.

For hurried players and hungry to get badges, I agree, it's a terrible game for it. Our game not was made to play it in 1 day, but build an eco-system with a great community like the one we have now. This is a long-term game, not a 1-week game. We apologize if we have let you down with obtaining your badges, but there is no doubt that it is a game to play it, not something of 2 days
Nice The Devs just copy and paste the same shitty answer under all the comments. Why does Kongregate even sink so low and allows money grabbing scum like this on their website?
Plz Kongregate-Team grow some balls and get back some of your dignity and tell greedy muppets like this to get lost.

You know what's genuinely unfair about this game? The horrible ratio of troops. Sure you get a hero, but the enemy gets more reinforcements and better deployment positions. In the long run, you lose.
AI do not where and when send a troop, just follow static orders. You can easily flank an AI, and win a fight with one troop, so that is why, some extra troops for the AI, try to make a challenge for you. But thank you for the opinion.

interesting game whilst accepting its a long term game i find the lack of fuel and means to get it via play drags it down theres a difference between an ecosystem and a no go system

Well that was very disconcerting. I sent my first ever expedition which was 1 and half hours long. half way through it got ambushed where i won the fight and had to use heal packs to heal troops. Right at the destination it brought up the battle button however also said I got ambushed for the second time. Clicked to battle, game crashed, all units lost. I will now not even bother with that feature again.

Why are all of your games the same with just a different theme pasted onto it? Its obvious you don't really care about a real good experience to anyone except your own pockets and with the shockingly high amount of shallow copy paste games on this platform your not even shockingly bad your just unforgiving mediocre. and don't be "That guy" who uses copy paste responses and talks down to critics, it just makes you seem like you have no intention to improve... not that i even thought you would try.

Since you asked for more specifics (and I DO play MMO games, and spend money on them... I have 700+ kreds in my current balance that I am using on them)... 1.) The tutorial doesn't actually teach you how to play the game. 2.) the battles are all super easy until a certain point where they suddenly get very hard (ie no linear progression to the game) and it is not clear to the player what they are doing wrong 3.) There are ads for other games in this one, but you don't get any rewards for seeing them. 4.) there are too many popups for premium offers. 5.) everything is too slow... there are too many bottle necks. I just want to play the game but can't because there are too many timers and not enough slots. 6.) I am constantly having the game crash (using Chrome and FF and Edge... I tried all 3). This is apart from more minor things like poor translation, lack of user documentation on how the game works and what things do, inability to experiment without losing resources.
1.) Is thinking in you can see how to use almost all of the items/mechanics of the game, how to play it, is up to you, and become part of the strategy you do in the game. 2.) In your global map, while you open the zones who need less influences points, will give you the more easy enemies of all zones you can open at that time 3.) We remove this top banners or ads, as feedback of the community. 4.) So far you get only 1 popup when you log for the first time in the game. The other, is the calendar daily gift or daily rewards, notification if there is something of that. 5-6.) We have a excellent support in discord for all these problems, there our support guys will help with anything and give also suggestions for avoiding a future crash.

Also, while some games on this site see a small (0.1 or 0.2) point drop on ratings when their game is badged, to see such a huge drop as your game has is not normal (in fact, this game has dropped so much, that it is now in the bottom 15 of all badged games on this site when measured by rating… which says a lot considering how many badged games this site has). In addition the badge hunters on this site are not even sticking around long enough to actually get the badge (which says alot, since we tend to suffer though quite alot to get badges here). Please don't act like there is nothing wrong with your game when there is so many people complaining about it. If you want to ignore the feedback, fine. But when such a significantly large portion of the community offers such a wide range of feedback, don't try to publicly say that the feedback is not valid. In a case like this, the player is always right.
Thank you for your opinion. As you say, Iron Rage is not an easy game and have a learning curve, and for those who rush with these badges, get a hard time. Our community help in making a doc for those who only look for these badges, and you can get both, in hours :). You can check here: https://ironrage.fandom.com/wiki/A_Badge_Seekers_guide_to_Iron_Rage . Also, is easy on Kongregate down the rating of the game, even when some players drop a real feedback, but many others just looking make damage[...] that is well known in any game :)

If you're here for the badges, don't bother with the second one, it takes a looong time.
If you *are* going to bother with it, my suggestion is get as many stars as you can using only the most basic units (infantry + stormtroopers + the hero) with no equipment, then for stars 25-40 just burn through the higher level units that in normal play you would not be able to replace until like 8 months or hundreds of dollars later - it costs 2 days of resource-collection to level up just one thing, and you'd have to level things up many times to get to being able to buy the decent units, then I assume (I didn't grind that far) that each individual decent unit also costs another couple days worth of resources. The progress curve is insanely slow if you don't inject real money into it. (Or maybe I was just doing it wrong, in which case the game needed a bit more tutorial on how to make useful progress!)

Wow... this game is just all sorts of bad. Granted, it isn't the type of game I like in the first place, but even for its genre, it seems to miss all the normal things that are generally considered good. Why did this game get badged? I can't be alone in my opinion since the rating of the game has fallen so far since it was badged, and only a small percentage bothered to get the medium badge.
What is "so bad" considering that you don't play these MMO game? About rating, on Kongregate is easy to make damage to any rating game, if these types of players want that. We are not the first one, and for sure will not the last game who happen this :). Anyway, we do not care for the rating, is enough with our community know what they know so far :).

if you play this you should remember: sooner you will not have any fun with this. putting money in this will not buy you a game. in a view weeks the servers will be dead or played by bots. (there is an easy 1 click trick to notice that.) you can not "win"in this game or play it throu. the medium badge is infact a hard badge. these games are about making money not having fun. so stop complaining about bugs, graphic fail ore poor translations to you language. if you realy want to have fun go for old badges. befor gamestop think it is a good idea to shut it down and move on to the pay platform.

1. The tutorial has glitches and I got stuck on a chest unlock page where the guided "next click" was hidden behind the current screen and I couldn't exit or click on the recommend spot. This required a refresh.
2. Over the course of 20 minutes, I had to refresh another 4-5 times and got stuck on the 100% loading mark 2-3 times.
3. Games are normally long term because they are fun and have a lot of content. Making your game very slow so it takes a long time does not make it better or long term.
I invite you to up-vote so that the developer can be sure to see these detailed comments. Rated 1-star and refused to earn the badges to keep the counters as low as possible. Good luck LONG-TERM!
