The Lord of the Rings: War

2.0 ruined the game and they stole our money.

Game used to be amazing! 2.0 rolled in and they ruined all the mechanics. Not to mention removing items from inventory that cost real money. Total scam.

... 2.0 was the nail in the coffin for this once great game. Years of investing into commanders flushed down the toilet by misguided and/or clueless developers. Do not install this game, bye bye!

2.0 is a classic case of sunk cost fallacy hon wrong. Shame on all of the management within this company for ruining this game. Spend your money elsewhere.

Will randomly release a update like 2.0 that completely changes the game and basically makes any time and money you’ve spent on this game useless

This game just had a catastrophic update. Nothing like the great game it used to be. I do not recommend, the developers care about profits than creating a good game.

The gameplay and features they added with the 2.0 update comes from themselves. Every player suggestions or request have been ignored. They haven’t upgraded or implemented anything the player base asked since release and that’s why the game was slowly dying. With the new 2.0 update they changed everything entirely so you have a new game and every micro transaction you did prior is rendered obsolete and wasted. Basically they increase the infinity of spending which will make it so that you can’t stay relevant and keep playing versus higher spender. All those changes weren’t well implemented nor well communicated. Season last 55 days and they announce 10 days ahead of time that game update to 2.0 so it occurs mid season even though everyone asked them not to do it. It’s not worth downloading. I played since release for 2 years but now it’s over.

It pains me to write this review as I have been a major supporter of this game. Yes there are pay to win elements of this game which lessen the experience, but if you can get past that you could actually have a lot of fun playing this game. I have made many friends and memories that I didn’t expect to experience when I started playing. That being said the release of the 2.0 update has damaged this game forever. The old version took a tremendous amount of skill and game based knowledge. Now it’s a completely different experience and not in a good way. Many free to play players lost equipment they had been working on for years to achieve. Lower level characters lost really cool abilities that can help compete against pay to win players. Many players have given up and feel betrayed. If you are like me and can afford to spend money in game, all your purchases just lost a majority of their value. They said originally I would have some options so it wouldn’t be hard to transition to 2.0 . Unfortunately that did not happen. Instead decisions were made during the update by the developers. I contacted support of both Apple and the developer to get a refund of purchases made. Apple stated that because my purchases were in-game they couldn’t help me. The developers support sent a copy and paste statement that basically said ‘ thank you for your support and suggestions’ and ‘please be patient ‘. Because of this I have requested Apple to remove this app from their services. In my opinion as a consumer this app is now a bait and switch scam. If you pay for services now during 2.0 who knows what their value will be when 3.0 comes out. As a fan of this game and of lord of the rings in general I would highly recommend you avoid this game at all costs. They don’t deserve your loyalty and more importantly your time.

New update is sucks

Was a really good game then had 2.0 rammed down our throats with no option but join the new game. Might have played both but now feel like I have been suckered punched. Don’t invest into this game they will change everything and expect you to just keep playing.
