What the listing says

Another line from the listing: “Clash of Kings is a multiplayer 4X strategy game where your castle is just the beginning”. The listing goes on to say “Build your kingdom, command your army and forge alliances in the fight for the throne”. One more point the description makes: “A strong army needs a kingdom behind it”. The description says: “Keep resources flowing, strengthen your walls, invest in research and train troops”.

In the developer’s words, “Build up your defenses without losing sight of the next opportunity to attack”. It also states that “A bigger army isn’t always a better one”. Another line from the listing: “Train infantry, cavalry, archers and siege units, then choose a formation that suits the battle ahead”. All of this comes from the store listing, so treat it as the developer’s pitch rather than a hands-on verdict.

Where it falls short

The listing says it contains ads and offers in-app purchases, so expect to be asked for attention or money at some point. Also, 22.5% of raters left one star, which is a visible group of unhappy players.

Who it suits

Anyone who already likes strategy games, and who is comfortable with a free-to-play model that contains ads and offers in-app purchases. If strategy is not your thing, the star average will not change that. Google Play gives it a content rating of Teen, which is worth a look if a child will be using it.
