If you are someone who enjoys building up kingdoms and is a fan of fantasy eras such as Lord of the Rings, then CastleVille Legends is just the game for you. In this game, you need to start from the beginning, building up your kingdom slowly, setting up an economy, trade with friends and foes alike and be the king of the best kingdom in the world! CastleVille Legends has been developed and successfully released by game developer Zynga. The game is pretty popular, downloaded over one million times with a rating of 4.2 out of 5 on Google Play Store and a 4 star rating on iOS App Store.
You start your gameplay in CastleVille Legends with a tutorial which teaches you the basics of the game. You basically are in a fantasy era, where there are several instructors frozen up in a giant ice block, and you need to save them by tapping on the ice block and breaking it. The instructors help you with a specific part of the game, telling you how to do quests, grow crops, construct buildings, sell and buy items and many other things. You start off with a very small kingdom with nothing but a simple building. Your goal in CastleVille Legends is to construct and maintain multiple other buildings and build up an economy for your kingdom, making your kingdom the most powerful and successful kingdom in the game world.
There are a lot of features, buildings and options locked when you start playing the game. You can unlock all of them by playing the game, earning experience points and leveling up. You earn experience points by completing quests, which start off fairly easy but get harder the more you play the game. Completing quests successfully will reward you with experience points and gold coins. You will need gold coins to do basically everything in the game, so you will have to save up a lot of them if you want to be successful in CastleVille Legends.
If you wish to play with your friends, you can connect with your Facebook account. Connecting with your Facebook account brings the advantage that you will be able to buy and sell items with your friends, but also with other random players around the world. This will help you set up your economy and become rich in CastleVille Legends. Connecting with your Facebook is not required to play the game but is strongly suggested because you will be able to trade more and earn more gold coins.
CastleVille Legends In-game store
There are two types of currencies in CastleVille Legends. The first one is called gold coins, which you earn by playing the game and leveling up. The second one is the premium currency and is called Crowns, which are not easily obtainable by playing the game, but rather by purchasing them in the in-game store.
Gold coins are used in the game to purchase a lot of items, construct buildings and to be able to complete other general actions in the game. Crowns are used for multiple things in the game. For example, you can instantly construct buildings, collect crops and make tools by using crowns. There are a lot of buildings in CastleVille Legends which you can construct using gold coins, but if you want to have a second building of the same time, you will have to use crowns. (For example, to have a second workshop, you will have to pay thirty crowns)
You can purchase both the gold coins and the premium crowns in the in-game storefor real money as well. The price for gold coins starts at $0,99 for the smallest amount of 400 gold coins up till $54,99 for the largest amount of 35000 gold coins. The price for premium crowns starts at $1,99 for 40 crowns and goes up till $44,99 for the largestamount of 1400 crowns.
If you are playing the simulation game CastleVille Legends, you probably have seen how important coins and crows are to the game.

There are many fake cheat websites that claim they have a working cheat tool, hack tool or mod for CastleVille Legends. These tools can allegedly hack into your game and give you unlimited amounts of gold coins and premium crowns. The problem is, all of those tools are fake and will definitely not work. The reason I know this is because of the fact that all of those tools are not downloadable, unless you fill in a silly survey. For instance, if I were to go to one of those fake cheat websites and spot a cheat tool that I would like to use, I would not be able to even download the tool before I fill in a survey, which generates an income for the people behind the cheat websites to begin with. The whole reason that such websites even exist is because of the fact that they lure people in and make money off of them by letting them fill in surveys.
For the sake of this review, I decided to try one of the many cheat tools for CastleVille Legends. I clicked on the download button on one of the cheat websites, which redirected me to a download website (which looked very clean and professional I might add). On the download website, I clicked on the download button and a window showed up, telling me I needed to fill in a survey before I could download the cheat tool. After I had done this, my download started, which was a RAR folder. I tried unpacking the RAR folder, but I only received error messages, after which I gave up. The fake cheat websites simply trick unknowing people into filling in surveys, promising them that they will receive a cheat tool that works, but in reality, you are just getting scammed. Instead of looking for cheats for CastleVille Legends, I will give you some tips and tricks which you can use during your gameplay.
Whenever you are stuck in the game, you should tap on the wizard with the purple robe in order to see what your next objective is. The wizard will tell you about the quest, which you need to complete in order to progress through the game. Progressing through the game is important because it unlocks more features of the game, and makes the game more entertaining in general.
In CastleVille Legends, it is important that you establish your own economy by producing, buying and selling all kinds of items. The first thing you should do when you start playing the game is level yourself up to level five. Once you reach level five, you will unlock a variety of trading options, which will really help you set up a good economy for your kingdom. For instance, the Sea Trading Ship will be unlocked, which you can use to sell items to your friends on Facebook, but also people who you do not know. You will also be able to set custom prices to items, which allows you to buy low and sell high.
You should stack up on items that are currently on a discount, buy purchasing them from your friends for a very low price or simply by purchasing them from NPCs throughout the game. After the discount sale is over, you can set a higher price and sell the same items for a big profit. You can keep repeating this until you have set up a good economic system, and save up a lot of gold coins. You can then use the gold coins to build your Kingdom the way you want to.
I like the fact that when I first started playing CastleVille Legends, that I had to go through a tutorial. The tutorial in this game is very educational, teaching you the proper way of playing this game and helping you to get used to the various features of the game itself. CastleVille Legends is a very feature-rich game, which can be overwhelming for casual mobile gamers. The tutorial really helps you settle in and get used to the gameplay itself. After the tutorial ends and you have played the game for a bit, the gameplay will become pretty straightforward. That doesn’t mean that the gameplay becomes boring though. There are tons of unlockable features, which you unlock by playing the game and leveling up.
Even though CastleVille Legends is yet another city building game, the developers did a good job in keeping it entertaining. There is a nicely implemented fantasy theme in the gameplay which really helps the game forward. I like the fact that you can check your kingdom out, zoom out if you want to see all of it and zoom back in if you want to see it in detail. You can also expand your kingdom by purchasing land and constructing more buildings on it. At some point, you will have a nicely build kingdom, which you can also share with your friends. A very positive aspect about CastleVille Legends is the fact that you can connect with your Facebook account, in order to be able to play with your friends. You can help each other out, trade items and support each other’s’ economies. Unfortunately, there were also several negative aspects about CastleVille Legends which really turned me off from the game.
The first negative aspect I encountered about CastleVille Legends is the fact that it feels like the developers want to make you spend real money on the game, in order to make it more enjoyable. Especially in late-game, the waiting times for buildings to be constructed but also for other actions to be completed, are extremely long. This means that you either have to have a lot of patience and simply wait it out by closing the game, or you have to spend premium currency to instantly complete your action. Of course it is almost impossible to obtain the premium currency by playing the game, so you will have to purchase it with real money. I have nothing against developers trying to generate some income for themselves, because they spend time to developer the game, but they should really look into making the premium currency cheaper, or easier to obtain by simply playing the game. This way they will reward loyal players, keep them happy and most likely attract more players to their game.
Occasionally there are pop-ups showing up, asking you to either try out another game by the same developer, or rate the game on the app store. I think that developers should never do this, because it is as annoying as having advertisements in your game. Whenever players enjoy playing your game, they will already rate the game by themselves anyways, so there is no need to ask for rates at all. Advertising other games, even if they are your own, is also a bad move in my opinion. Let the players decide for themselves if they want to play a totally different game or not. Once you build a reputation as a good game developer, players will check your other games out and play them if they are good.
Artwork: I give CastleVille Legends an 8/10 for its artwork. The graphics in CastleVille Legends is actually pretty decent, considering that it is a mobile game. The developers did a good job animating the graphics according to the fantasy theme of the game. I like the fact that every object in the game is detailed out and fits the fantasy theme as well. Another thing I really like about CastleVille Legends is the fact that the world map and characters on it all have idle animations. This means that everyone has its own animation, be it movements or facial expressions, which makes the game feel livelier. I could easily tell that the developers spend a lot of time on the graphics and animations of this game, making it fit with the fantasy theme.
Music & SFX: I give CastleVille Legends an 8/10 for its music and SFX. The soundtracks used in CastleVille Legends are very nice and fit the overall fantasy theme of the game. While the quality of the music in this game might not be very high, it does remind me of the music you would hear in the Lord of the Rings series. I like the fact when developers are able to implement good soundtracks into their games because it brings more entertainment to the game. There are also dozens of sound effects in CastleVille Legends, all of which have their own meaning.
Story & Originality: I give CastleVille Legends a 6/10 for its story and originality. Unfortunately, there are a lot of games out on the app stores that have a very similar gameplay to CastleVille Legends. It feels like the game is just another one of those knockoff city building games. I must admit that CastleVille does have a lot of neat features that make the game original in some way, but they should have done more in the way off different game mechanics that other games do not have at the moment. The game does have a nice story which you read about during the tutorial of the game, which adds some nice imagination and creativity to the gameplay itself.
General Gameplay: I give CastleVille Legends an 8/10 for general gameplay. When you first start playing CastleVille Legends, you will have to go through a tutorial, which teaches you the basics of the game. I think it is a very nice thing to have a tutorial in a feature-rich game such as CastleVille Legends, so that the players can get the hang of the game and won’t be confused on how to play the game. After the tutorial ends and you play the game for a while, the gameplay becomes pretty straightforward, but still fun and entertaining to play nonetheless. The controls are very responsive, navigating through the world map is very easy and everything works well.
Addictiveness: I give CastleVille Legends a 6/10 for addictiveness. CastleVille Legends is a city building game, set in a fantasy era (like Lord of the Rings), which makes it yet another one of those games with a hashed out idea. It is no lie that city building games are very popular on mobile devices, but the developers should really look into developing original ideas first. Because of this fact, the addictiveness for me was not that very high, but I can see why people would enjoy playing this game. The only downside for me was, that you would have to wait a long time for your buildings to be constructed or to complete other actions, especially later on in the gameplay. You could of course use premium currency to speed things up, but not everyone can afford to spend money on a free-to-play mobile game.
All things considered, I give CastleVille Legends a 7/10.
