Game crash, seriously small amount of resource gain, tiny warehouse. I expect one should play this game at least 6 months for gain medium badge without spending gold. Is there any reason to play this quasi-game?

"Argue without a base, blah blah blah". You already know what the problem is. This game is not unique in any way. It's a carbon copy of many other games that have existed for years. Don't be mad that people see it for the cash grab that it is. If you want good ratings, make a unique game.

@streil Far too many, someone, namely greg, needs to revisit these badges and evaluate their feasibility. Personally, I don't see why this genre of games gets badges to begin with.
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

Buggy even during the beginning phase. Clicking on where i'm told doesn't always lead to the next task making it impossible to play. No thanks.

agentIR: Argue without a base, it is like a vacuum, it does not contribute anything to the possible problem. We focus hard on maintaining a stable game, either for those who support the game, or those who only put in their time. Both players are important in our team and project. Please, tell us why your reasoning is so short and poorly founded, so we can understand it better.

I just played a few minutes and I think I can already make my opinion. I think it's a really bad idea to have both a city building game with a battle system like that. You can't really optimize your army since you have to always rebuild troops. I don't really feel any strategy while playing. Also the graphics are really meh. It's difficult to differenciate troops on the battlefield.
On top of that the game requires too much ressources for a flash game and we always get p2w offers at the face when we connect (sometimes I even can't close the offer...).
This game really needs some polishing in a lot of aspect. I played Clash Royale for 3-4 years and I keep playing this game because the gameplay is good, I can play when want and everything is accessible. In Iron Rage, there is just nothing to make me want to play the game and even if I wanted to play it, I would need to use ressources each time.

helpful hint.. Closer to when the game is about to crash, collected resources no longer register so be careful not to collect large amounts as these will effectively be wasted. Resources are hard enough to accumulate so hope this helps.

I wouldnt recommend this game to anyone. Upgrade path is not thought out, and if you weren't told to put all resources into resource buildings, youll be stuck waiting for days to get progression.
The game is also very buggy with constant crashes and features not working as intended. All this is contradictory to the Admin's claims that its browser specific or support is available.
Support is ignored on their Discord while most of their attention is given to whom I can safely assume are whales.
tl;dr Dont play this game
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Most annoying features besides being pay to win: sometimes the battle loading just stops for no apparent reason meaning you lose your resources without even being able to participate in the fight. Buildings shouldn't require fuel to build, or if they do it should be a maximum of 200 fuel--having to pay 1,000 fuel to build something makes you have to choose between building your city and actually playing the game.

how can a comment only relating to the game crashing receive so many negative votes in such a short period of time to drop it "under the rating threshold" if developers are saying they arent artificially adjusting non positive comments. if you dont like that comment, fix the memory leak issue. i didnt make the game, you did...

My previous comment was needlessly vitriolic and for that I apologize. To keep it short the main issue is the game format itself which has been seen many times before with a surprising number of similarities. Excruciatingly long timers, intensely grindy mechanics, a flood of limited premium offers at every corner: it's something I've seen dozens of times before on games like these and really gives the impression that you're only interested in my wallet. I believe you can improve the perception of your game a lot if you toned down these aspects but ultimately the perception of the genre as a whole is poisoned and won't do you much good.
I believe your strongest suit is the overall theme and the artwork and I would love to see a spin-off game without the mobile / browser MMO style mechanics even if it's an expansion of the simple tactical combat you have currently.

Pros: Good graphics. game runs smoothly, lots of story, simple gameplay
Cons: Game has multiple basic spelling and grammatical errors, lack of control over units, P2W game design, see comment section for other cons... Overall seems like this game might do well as a mobile game, but doesn't feel engaging or challenging.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
so i just looked at the comments and this game is totally pay to win because if you just start and buy a load of amazing troops you are bound to win however if you spend some time and use base troops you can get a lot of good troops

So... Rank battle, just got put up against the number 1 rank player...cool...they didn't even deploy anyone cuz their level 19 Captain Walker was able to pretty much oneshot my whole army. What is even the point of this game??? Other than money grabbing that is.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So lemme get this straight. You tryna say if I dump 10,000 kreds into this game, upgrade a buncha crap, speed-up development, I'm not gonna kick the crap outta people in the rank battles? I can't pay kreds to win rank battles? You sure bout that?

So my comments and feedback would only be welcome provided they are constructive? Who is it that discerns the nature of said comments, is it the same person who is making bot accounts to downvote comments and create fake forum posts? I think so. Some serious accusations have been raised as to the legitimacy of this developer and I intend to investigate.
It is the context of some comments. The player opens the game, 1 sale popup, when even is the only one and after close it, you will not see more any sale except if you look for it, they downvote the game 1/5 and write P2W. We can understand that one-time popup can be annoying for some players but damage a game by explaining something, which in fact do not explain anything or indicates a real problem which may contribute to the development of the game, then is not constructive feedback at all for us

High-quality art, a random 2d woman with a low-cut shirt onscreeen for seemingly no reason,multiple currencies/resources that require a credit-card to replenish at any decent rate, INGAME BANNER ADS, lootboxes/crates.
Yep, this is a garbage pile.

Finally gotten the medium badge.
Had to deplete all my best troops on 2 storyline levels on unending high tier enemy AI waves.
Disgustingly slow, buggy.
Resources are nowhere to be seen. The game entices the players to waste hard earned stuff into idiotic, useless quests and purchases.
I won't touch it again.

i hope the adds the devs put at the top of the game are their own creations and arnt getting payed for this copy-pasta of literally the worst type of phone game.
NOTE: if the Dev wants to respond to me, make sure that you get someone who actually speaks English to read it before you reply, because the copy-pasta answer you are giving some of the comments gives away that you can't speak the language.

What is this? Some kind of mafia thing? I made a comment about how bad this game is. Then I received a message saying "_Commander, this game is more than “get some badges”. We can understand the way you play on Kongregate and is up to you how you spend your time. But please, do not weak a game just because take to you 2 hours get a Kongregate badge. This game is made to play it, is…" And suddenly my comment gets rated to "minus-somewhere"? Is this the way we are communicating from now on?

It's P2W because after 24 hours or so you realize that to do ANYTHING you need to wait or use gold, and use K credits to buy gold. To the benefit of other P2W games at least they have content that keeps you busy for most of the day even if you are F2P type. Resources become insufficient after day or 2 just as you finish opening"easy" starter reward boxes. The you're out of fuel to run missions and upgrade, can only build start up units, low on gold and high on wait times for every build, upgrade and research. May be that's the point of the game - I don't know. I think I will develop watch paint dry game and see how that goes.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I wonder why are P2W game developers ALWAYS denying that their game is P2W. (AGENTIR is an great example) So c'man, stop pretending, cus it's just pointless.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It's one of *those* games with the build slots and the waiting x hours for them to be built but with spending money to make it faster. And the arbitrary female character showing you what to do at the beginning. It even has random reward boxes! I played one of these for like a week ten years ago and then swore never to touch one again. It genuinely doesn't matter how good the story or the strategy is (and they aren't anything to write home about), a core framework like that will immediately hold a game back. Many of us have played this base gameplay before; it wasn't fun then, and it isn't fun now.
Thank you for your opinion. The times for upgrade or build is a normal feature of this type of games and is not something we made looking for the players spend in speed up. Even when build-times can be improved, they will still "by time". Maybe you expect a different genre of game where these features are not involved, then yes, any game of this type will not fill you. That is the thing with badges, you will need play games, which are not the type of game you like to play.

Only reason to have such unbearably long upgrade times is to squeeze money our of people for premium currency to speed up.

Many thanks to everyone in the game room for helping me figure out this awesome game. So far I am really enjoying it!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Coming with a better review, since I had a lot of time to play the game, in those days.
At the first look, the game may appear, as another cash attempt from developers, but after sinking some time in the game, I can assure you that not true.
The game showers you with enough resources to start, get rolled and compete with the other big guys. I agree, it is still got a lot to work on, along with a friendlier way of presenting towards newbies, but for sure that the game has some nice mechanics, for the past days I enjoyed doing a battle at work here and there, great way to enjoy time.
Also, the devs are nice enough to give you some resources for FREE, if you manage to get stuck, if I would rate the game 3.5/5, I would totally rate the devs, 5/5.
P.S.: I'm level 67, I came here as a badge hunter, but please dont' be quick to judge, give this game a try and I'm sure you will not want to 1/5 stars it.

And for those badge hunters that don't read the forum, i added a guide to complete the badge pretty much as fast as possible in the game wiki: https://ironrage.fandom.com/wiki/A_Badge_Seekers_guide_to_Iron_Rage
Thank you for your help. We sent a message to your Journal - Messages tab with a reward. Accept it as gratitude to devote part of your time to develop this guide. Thank you.

No, i do not want to switch to full-screen, stop it! Cannot play further, so for me it's bad game. One star, zero actually.
The full-screen is only for the tutorial mode, where we need you to get in general terms important things of the game, for you can have a good start. After you end the tutorial, you can play the game as you desire
Commander, the different spheres you can use for different things. The Faction rating, repair faction equips, level up your faction reputation, and use in the faction shop when the season end. I suggest to you, join our Discord server, where the Kongregate community have an excellent place for share and networking.

What an abysmal game. 3 days to get the medium badge, mostly do to resource walls that hit within hours of starting to play, and I'm not going to continue on to see if you can eventually overcome those resource walls. Certainly using these as impetus to drive sales of resource packs. The game crashed several times. The game mechanics are pretty simple, but often frustrating when the AI pulls out multiple cheap, fast, charging units that either overwhelm your general or run directly to your spawning point. I got stuck towards the end of the 40 star run as my better units started running out, but you can't hire more until you spend hours and hours to collect research points, and then spend research points on the research tree, and the first unlockable basic units (crusaders/rangers) are buried in the tree. There are still some aspects of the game that don't seem to be clear, and several things have just not been implemented. Please avoid giving badges to games like this in the future.

Calling active consumers in this marketplace baseless when they're stating your game is pay to win isn't a valid entry point. There are plenty of pay to win games that aren't as genuinely called out, because they better handle both the difficulty curve AND the "wallet" curve. Creating lightweight, but intuitive controls and tutorials is important these days, as is maintaining an active face and allowing the consumer to come to you, as is proper pacing! Slandering or defacing a comment over a fragment of its overall value because it's not what you want to hear only rallies others to defend it and critique you further along that vein. You want a vacuum - there you go, you made it, AGENTIR - no one else did.
Thank you for your opinion. Maybe our answers were honest looking for detailed feedback of why several players think our game is exclusive a P2W one. For us, not help the player write just "this is a P2W" and downvote the game just because of 1 offer popup when they log in, in their game. We are extremely understandable with any criticism including especially the negative ones. If you join our discord server, you can see we have a #feedback channel where we talk about everything with our community. Always being, both the players and us, honest and respectful. Our responses were perhaps a bit harsh, but they were honest and looking for proper feedback, nothing more. It is not logical that we insult our new players since at all it is the policy of our team
