Fate War

PRO: One of the better cell phone city building war games I've tried, all about the same either way but this one is laid out very well for the type, with plenty of events and resources, troops and heros aren't fully dead after being killed and don't require money to revive, making this one much better to play than the old style games of this type. CON: All of these games being very highly p2w money grabs being the biggest problem with this type of game. The main reason I have changed the review to negative is because of the poor support for the game, there are game breaking bugs that limit your power that I've encountered at/after they do maintenance, and when contacting support they say, "these are not things we can do right now but we're trying to make the game better" or something along those lines. Unless you are one of the oil barons paying them, quite literally thousands of dollars, to play this game, they will give you zero support. After many days and many many hours being put into this and remaining top 50 on my server as free to play (#46 in vale, #60 in arena, #50 by might) I must draw a line and stop wasting my time on a game that has no support for its players. The final "issue" that has both pros and cons inherently... Is the player base is very heavily weighted to Russia (70% of the players) and China being a Chinese game, plus the few mid eastern oil barons who are the whales on each server... But the problem with this is the language barrier. Also the way you are received as an English speaking person will be mixed leaning toward not supported by many people in your tribe. This may be due to geopolitics, regional propaganda, or simply the language barrier, but it is very prevalent and any English speaking players should understand this going in. That being said, the translation feature in this game is VERY good and again this "issue" is neither really good or bad and isn't the biggest of problems, in that as long as you're a good player they will let you stay in their tribe and grow, so there isn't a big downside other than not being involved in the core group and not being supported as much as other players by people who will hold a prejudice against you because of where you were born. Remove the p2w aspect and the awful foreign support (typical support in Chinese and Russian games) and I think these type of games could draw many more (local) players and get much larger as a genre.
