Golf King - World Tour Wiki

I don’t understand the reviews complaining about the quirks of an arcade style golf game. Yes, the wind is unrealistic; learn how to play the wind. Yes, the putting guide shortens on hilly lies; that’s part of the challenge. Yes, the view during your swing can create a blind shot; again, part of what makes the game hard. This is a golf game you have to play a lot to figure out its nuances but when you do it can be really fun. Also really frustrating. And with that, I guess it is just like real golf. Please, however, do something about illegal software. Watching a player hit a drive 400 yards into stiff headwind takes the fun right out of the match. Lastly, it is a disadvantage to hit first, especially on shootouts. Why not have both players’ timers run simultaneously and both shots take off as soon as both players take their swings? This will create a lot of suspense watching both shots fly toward the hole at the same time and it will level the playing field since neither player will be able to see how the other is lining up their shot.

One of the better apps I’ve played. Different levels pose increasing challenges and skill. Great graphics. Well thought out holes posing different shot selections depending on conditions. Love how there are sucker shots that can break your heart if you aren’t paying attention to the wind and change in grade. Awesome how back drops and scenery mixed into holes are amazingly like holes I’ve played before in the real game. Two complaints: head to head competition swayed greatly by ball selection. I know you have to make money by upgrading but if I’m hitting first with the beginner ball into a 5.5 wind, my opponent shouldn’t have the option of playing an upgraded ball that shrugs of the wind. Level the playing field to skill instead of who spends the most money on upgrades. Second, pretty sure all of South Korea has cheat codes. Weird things happen every time I play someone from there. Definitely not coincidence. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to new holes. Love your tournaments because if that. Awesome job with the Halloween tournament!!

The game is all round awesome. Plenty of customization and perks/clubs etc to unlock and upgrade. The courses are really unique and a lot of fun to play. The game is however advertised as "The Number #1 Multiplayer Real Golf" which I find slightly inaccurate, here's a simple reason as to why. I was in the middle of a game when I had to switch apps quickly, I thought that when I'd return to the app that I'd simply be back on the menu screen with a message saying I've been kicked for inactivity from the server or something like that because that's what all multiplayer games do due to the servers/real-time aspect etc. But when I came back, the game was paused with the opponent's ball in the air, then the game resumed and the ball kept going, and if it was in fact a real time multiplayer, that most definitely wouldn't have happened. So with all that said, I'm 95% sure this game is not multiplayer, it's against AI bots. And I'm not saying that you shouldn't get it for that reason, that's not what I'm saying, but I'm just giving a fair warning so to speak that this might not be a multiplayer game like you think. But other than that this game is definitely worth it, and it's super fun. Definitely worth the try. There are really no other downsides to it except for the fact that I don't entirely believe it's a multiplayer game, especially the fact that it's advertised as the #1 multiplayer game.

I like the game very much compared to other golf games, but I want to focus on the negatives that really need to improve. 1) in a tournament, if you opponent forfeits the game, it looks like I get the prize money, but I have to play the hole over again. Other golf apps penalize the one who forfeits with an automatic penalty (1+ par for the hole) and they can’t redo the hole. The player who stays should be assumed to get their next shot in. So if I lie 3 and my opponent forfeits, my score is 4 and I go to the next hole. It doesn’t matter if the forfeit is intentional or the result of lost connection. 2) In shootouts, it’s a huge advantage to go second. That shouldn’t be. In this game the most challenging aspect is the “feel” of how hard to hit the ball. So if you can see how much power your opponent applied and the result, your shot is then dramatically easier. 3) the effect of the wind often seems off and inconsistent 4) the tutorial for the app is pretty weak. A lot of things about play, and especially about rewards, upgrades, etc, are nowhere to be found. 5) I don’t see a feedback/question possibility from the app itself. It looks like you read reviews, so therefore I’m writing this. But this is pretty public for you — I would have been just as happy to send my comments directly without making them public. I really like the game, so I apologize for focusing on what I see as areas for improvement. Good luck

Yes I love the game. It has some things to get use to like the ball is always going to draw to the left even when you chip. But the thing that i think should change is the purchases. It takes awhile to build up money, gold, and credits so when I did decide I want to look at some items if you see something and you touch on it you just purchased it. There should be some way to look at it and see what it offers and not in touch and boom you just bought it. And it didn’t even give me what I thought it was for 250 gold bars. Now I’m out of gold and I didn’t even get a new club just points towards a new club. I can do that just by playing he game. And the clothes as well. A package will get you a piece of a set that you can’t even wear until you get the whole set. That is ridiculous. Make some changes please. Listen to the fans that play the game if you want it to keep being successful.

*Edit - Aside from wind issues this app is a 5star but gets a 3 bc the wind literally makes it no fun still Cant stop playing its Golf on my phone. At first its great but as you get to 60k holes the wind is insanely inconsistent. Literally one hole to next. Even same hole it changes. Wildly annoying considering its an app your will need to pay for sometimes. Its is great for that I can say you can play fairly cheap and progress and compete its well priced cost wise. One hole 2mp wind in the face ball goes no where no matter how hard you hit it next hols guy tees off with 3mp wind in face and it goes 375... esp on water holes. When one day to next wind does diff things you can olay it perfect but today the ball flys over the holle when yesterday same wind you barly made the front side. Its ludicrous unlike other review I absolutely understand the conplajnts. It take the fun out of the game. App would have gottne 5 stars. Maybe once you develop gameply where ine day 3mph wind at your back barely gets you to edge of fairway and the next game on same course a 1 mph wind get your over same fairway on one hop. And all of a sudden .8 mph wind carries over the water instead of half way and you watch your opponet make it then maybe i will upgrade to 4 stars. I will keep playing i wont stop but im not paying for anything anymore and just bc your nice reply im not gonna guve give you 5 starts to a gane that deserves 3.

I’ll preface this by saying I really enjoy the game. The pacing is good as far as earning chests and the times you have to wait are shorter than most games allowing you to progress faster while also improving. I played this for about 3 weeks and was up to almost 400 trophies. I was winning about 70% of my games, not amazing but definitely respectable. Recently the developer changed the matchmaking algorithm. Now when I play I face players with 1000s of games but similar trophy counts instead of players with similar amounts of games. This means you play against players with 2-3 levels of clubs above you. I’ll give a for instance. In a game last night I faced a gentleman who hit a 320 yard in the face of a wind of 2.3 mph. In this game the winds has severe effects on your trajectory so being able to hit it that far compared to me being able to hit the ball 260 is crazy. That’s just the driver. The player had this advantage with every club. TLDR: Game was 5 stars before matchmaking change now I win about 20% of my games and have stopped playing until it is fixed.

Overall I think this is a very good game. The problem I have is the only way they make this game more difficult is to add more wind but yet they provide people to pay for balls that will negate the difficulty factor because the only way they can add difficulty is to add wind. Furthermore if you don’t want to pay you can win but it is very difficult especially in the upper tiers. The matching of your opponent and all I can say about that is in my experience I am always matched up against someone who is out clubbing me so I will have an advanced driver level III and the person I am playing will have an advance driver level six. I will have a swinger level wood one and they will have continental wood level two or united wood three I will have and they will have a united wood level five. Furthermore you will come up against players who have 13,000 games against your 700 games played so obviously they have much more experience playing the game than you. I don’t understand how the matching System works reliably

Wind is very exaggerated for the speed it shows. Also I’ve seen the same exact shot do something completely different. You also get to see your opponents clubs and exact power and ball spin they apply when shooting there shot. Which is very crappy during shoot outs if you have to go first. The way the some of the courses are designed is to encourage you to buy better clubs. The starter clubs on some holes make you shoot in undesirable areas. Players with better clubs easily clear bunkers and rough areas many times when players w/o can’t. Putting is a joke. The goal of the game is to make it on the green and 90% of all putts are give mes. Putting is an extremely low difficulty. Also due to lack of player clothing options (unless you spend money), almost every player you play against looks the exact same. No single player challenges either. All tournaments require you to play against another player 1v1 on every hole with coins being wagered every hole too instead of just playing through yourself. Even with all the flaws it’s still an ok game, just misses being much better than it could be.

First, i do want to start off by saying I really like this game, despite the cheaters and inconsistencies in wind/playability. What really gets me is the improper description of items for sale, specific the “costume pieces”. Be Forewarned! Before using 395 gold to purchase what is described as “All costume pieces” know that what they REALLY mean is “all of ONE costume PIECE”. I tried to point this out via email, even pointing out that a costume is a group of pieces (for instance pieces in a biker costume would be glasses, helmet, vest, gloves, chaps, boots. If i was to wear glasses to a costume party someone would not think, “oh he is a biker”) I received this reply “Hello! This is Golf King Support Team. That means you can get all costumes from that package but, not 1 time. Thank you.” Their explanation even proves my point “all costumes” “not 1 time”. For 395 gold, when you list on the game “all costume pieces” and even confirming by email “all costumes” a person should be getting all costumes. I worked HARD on this game to get 395 gold!!! I gave them many ad views and began going after extra gold with web clicks. What did i get for my time and effort? One pair of gold ladies sunglasses :-( I was Dupped! Dont be dupped too! I plan to still Swing away on their game but they will NEVER EVER get another ad view from me. Fix your poor English description and tell the people honestly what you get for 395 gold “one costume piece”

So, I’ve played many golf games in my day and I’m completely convinced the developers of this game have no clue how to play golf. For starters, the wind gauge is drastically inaccurate. 3 mph wind in real life will not blow your ball off the hole. 15-20 mph, yes that makes more sense. I get it, it’s a game, but you have to have some bit of accuracy. Also, having your opponent be able to see how you play your shot is asinine. When shooting first, it puts you at a major disadvantage. Especially in the “shoot out” mode. Lost many rounds because of this. Lastly, when you hit a ball out OB or in the water, you lose a stroke. Plain and simple, that’s the rules. Nobody should be able to hit it OB then miraculously come back to make a “shoot out” situation after you have successfully played the hole without any penalty. Get real developers, this doesn’t as you put it in your responses, “make the game more fun”. It pisses people off. Listen to the people and stop being ridiculous.

At first I loved this game but the further I progressed all of a sudden I could never win. I was out-clubbed by some opponent who had an entire outfit (it’s impossible to get any kind of change in an outfit without spending money - if you use your tokens or gold you only get 1 out of 5 needed before you get the item. Really? ) and they amazingly hit every shot perfect in 5.5 mph winds and I have putts rolling off the edge of the hole when that’s not what the guideline said would happen. It’s almost like you don’t stand a chance if the opponent is outfitted. Why is someone who has spent so much money and hits every shot perfectly playing in 20k or 60k game? So then I thought...maybe we don’t really have opponents, just the computer forcing you to lose so you’ll spend money to buy more coins or try to get outfitted or buy better clubs and balls. As for the wind that seems to be everyone’s issue, I’ve experienced having a 3 mph headwind prohibiting me from getting across the water, bunker or rough but then my opponent (computer) who is lying roughly in the same place as I, has a tailwind and of course it carries their ball across? How can you beat that?

This game is trash. Here’s how it works: You begin by getting all kinds of gold bars & upgrade cards as you play. You win pretty much every match you play and progress nicely (so you think). This happens until you get to a certain point. Then suddenly you have all kinds of card packs that you can’t open because you need gold bars to open them. But they stop giving you gold bars. I mean you get zero after a certain point. So the only way you can progress is by buying gold with real money. But here’s the catch: even if you do that, it’s still not enough. Because at the same time all of this is occurring, you also stop winning. You are either matched with players that have clearly spent hundreds of dollars on the game or you can be winning a match against the rare normal player yet they miraculously make miracle shots constantly. The game is fun for all of a day or two because you are given the illusion that you can actually progress in the game by grinding. Too bad that’s not the case. Just another pay to win game.

Hello developers, I like the way you people deleted my review under slyviper I made three months ago what’s wrong you like what had to say. I wrote a review for those who don’t see it I basically said that the developers don’t like criticism so they purposely lock up your game as your playing so you can lose. And of course they denied doing it but played five matches and all five lock up in the middle of my game which gave my opponent the win. Also I complained about the loss of constant connection and when you log back in the shoot you made before the connection loss was nullified and your timer runs out. So tired it again and I played under guess and nothing has changed still doing the same thing losing connection and screwing people on the green when putting. So I guess you guys will delete this one too. Like I said before if you don’t like the criticism pull the game. Remember we are the ones that put this game on the market you guys just developed it.
