Taking London

It was a dull mans club wifes project. It sounded promising, but sadly too small effort on their part to control the mechanics when put into practice. Some of those that able to commit the hours dominated very quickly making the casual player a pointless exercise. Whether it was just a hobby project or a career development I wish them the best. For anyone else, I wouldnt bother now. Its virtually dead.

Taking London is a unique and ambitious strategy game that blends large-scale warfare, alliance coordination, and long-term planning into a persistent world that rewards commitment and teamwork. One of the game’s strongest points is its scale. Army sizes, city development, and alliance operations feel meaningful, and progress reflects real investment over time. The emphasis on coordination—whether through resource sharing, timed attacks, or defensive planning—makes alliances feel impactful rather than optional. The developers clearly listen to the community. While balance has been an ongoing discussion (as it should be in a game of this complexity), changes are communicated and iterated on, especially heading into TL2. The move away from single “meta” strategies and toward multiple viable army compositions is a step in the right direction and shows a focus on long-term health rather than short-term fixes. That said, Taking London is not a casual game. New players can feel overwhelmed at first, and early mistakes can be costly without guidance from an alliance. Some mechanics could benefit from clearer in-game explanations, and balance tuning will always be a work in progre…

Reminds me of playing Evony back in the day. Offers a single player mode but feels like the NPCs don't really build along side you, they seem to be set to one level and don't interact with the world like attacking you and stuff. Multiplayer seems broken I can only connect to 1 of the 3 current servers and the one server just has 1 alliance with everyone in it. Hoping to see this game grow and evolve over time and to make the building levels and upgrades easier to read.

Very buggy. camera would stop working had to tab out and back in. Its free, but was expecting something different not real world time for building and resource gathering. Could be great for mobile but not PC in my opinion.

Very interesting game. I just started, I will review it. The atmosphere is definitely great!! If we can have something a bit resembling stardew valley, that may be for a better development direction .... how difficult is it to get on the dev team?

Great game, great community - lots of help getting started, but its brutal pvp! Dev is super responsive and very much part of the good community - come join us!
