Nations of Darkness is a strategy game where four powerful factions—Vampires, Werewolves, Hunters, and Mages—battle for survival. As a leader, you must manage resources, construct specialized buildings, and train a legendary roster of heroes to defend your territory. Clear the fog of war to expand your kingdom and forge alliances with players worldwide to dominate the server in massive PvP battles and strategic PvE missions.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

78/100

Nations of Darkness is a surprisingly deep entry into the mobile strategy genre, moving beyond the standard 'build and wait' formula by adding a thick layer of gothic fantasy. Choosing between Vampires, Werewolves, Hunters, and Mages isn't just a cosmetic choice; it fundamentally alters your resource priority. For instance, Vampires are the kings of sustainability and economy, whereas Werewolves are built for pure aggressive expansion. This faction system adds a much-needed role-playing element to the territory conquest.

The city-building feels rewarding, especially as you clear the 'darkness' from your map to uncover new building slots and resources. The hero system is where the tactical depth shines—you aren't just sending faceless mobs into battle. You need to synergize hero abilities with your unit types. While it does suffer from the usual 'power creep' common in these games, the alliance system and the frequent server events keep the community active and the stakes high. It’s a visually striking game that rewards players who actually take the time to plan their base layout and hero pairings.

If you have a bit of time to kill

This game is addicting whether your running an event with your team or doing your dailies on your own. I am a mid spender and most of my team doesn’t spend. Either way it’s a great time with friends that you meet along the way or bring over from previous war games. I consider myself a leader of my peers in a mid nation of NoD. We work as a team and get the job done. The developers always try to fix any issues that happen which is way better than most of these games. They are fair and constantly bringing out new events to keep us busy and to prevent the game for going stale. Although the development team stays on top of any bugs there is always room for improvements. Keep up the good work. I give this game a 5 star rating because of all the things I listed above.

Find a different game…

NoD used to be an awesome game when it first came out. I’ve been a player since the beginning. It was great to both free to play players and pay to pay players. Now, especially over the last year, the game developers keep making trash decisions that prevent players from excelling even if you do pay to play. NoD’s new expectations is that if you want to play the game and advance, you must pay an OBSCENE amount of money. Even current whales are stopping playing because of this. They don’t care about the players. They make changes to hinder player growth whichever type of player you are. They don’t care about game bugs or the fact the player suffers. They are currently working on ways to kill off old server players by their new “changes” and figuring ways to stop player migration to new servers with ridiculous restrictions. Save your money and the frustration and find a different game. They have no respect for their players at all. Not for your problems, not for your suffering, not for the fact most of the players they are practically spitting on were the reason for their success when the game launched, and absolutely not for the money you put into their game. EDIT: Thank you NoD for replying with a copy and paste paragraph from your book of ready responses focusing solely on “migration” out of my entire review. Once again, you only prove the company is a JOKE.

Could you add some new things?
Wed Feb 28 2024 Mandy the dragon queen

like more things to research and how about I don’t know be access to the money and the magma that we produce how about can we do a solo hunt for the reapers stuff? Could we get more powers? We get new characters as well, and I have another question could we be able to remove the gifts that we receive to give to the stewardess when we maxed out our stewardess or delete them or trade them in and could we make our own character and we can choose the different powers and how about more castle events that we go into the castleand the events are some are finished. Could you add some more?

COULD BE BETTER!

I’m not going to lie, I’ve never spent so much time on a game but it’s a hate & love relationship with this game! I love how they have all these seasons but I HATE how short they make them & how you can’t do other things to earn more keys or whatever you need to get what you want like a castle. It’s absurd! Even spending a certain amount still won’t get you there! The season for the “Werewolf full moon Event” was good but it made me want to delete this game. I couldn’t get anymore “castle keys” because of how many hours you had to wait to buy more with your diamonds. That really NEEDS TO BE FIXED/ CONSIDERED. more days if you guys are going to make us wait half a day to get more of the items we need to get what we want. I get the whole thing about trying to make money but at this point? It’s stupid.

Game is trash
Sun Mar 05 2023 Coolbro1246

They will use you and the clans all of them in server, 39 are all trash clans, especially Non mgg expect to be bullied by them too. They A drama clan, and they cannot protect their own, especially NoN This game is rigged. You have to buy to beat everybody to have power to be the strong is to get respect frig in this game. I wish I could report it. I wish you all the luck in this stupid game, because there is no forgiving on what they do to help you through this game there is no help they betray you. I wish you luck all your new members that come on this game. Any clan any server you go to they will bully you and you will not be able to grow, so do not waste any money on this game. I wood give you 000 stars here is 1 I have played this game to long and there is no rules for the top 10 for get this game and your develop team to you guys made this game really bad with no rules in the top 10 is a joke and you game to

Great game
Wed May 24 2023 bmac1118

I like the entire concept of the game. The layout, graphics, formations, and hero arrangements and how it’s layed out as well. My only complaint would be the cost to level up the hero’s. The hero’s and research are truly the biggest two ways to be successful at the game. Some ppl can afford to pay to play and some can’t. By increasing the cost for some of these items some ppl are more likely to quit. I just think coming down somehow while still being being profitable for the makers is better for the not able to pay to play players that still enjoy gaming

Great
Wed Mar 15 2023 BO$$Y GURLL

This game is really good and it makes you feel like you should play more and more but not to an addicting extent and you have to gather power but there isn’t a limit on the power you can gather even if you joined on the first day. They have 2 different protection systems for new players… The peace shield and the protection system. you have to buy the peace shield after it’s down which is often because you want to attack another territory which gets you more resources

Fun
Thu Dec 19 2024 JadeFox2801

This game is similar in premise to several others in that you’re building a town that you defend. However, it does take a unique perspective from the werewolf, vampire and mage theme. You’re given plenty of power ups to speed up research, building, and troop development. There is enough to do to keep you engaged, 20 to 30 minutes twice a day at least. Yes, the pop-ups for spending are frequent. However, you can play without spending a dime! Money does make things go faster, but it seems like it’s not critical to pay to just enjoy the game.
