  • Great game!!!

    The only things that i would suggest is to add a map that the player can toggle on or off & to give us a couple more ways to hire more workers after the 4th. 200 gems to hire a 5th worker is way too much considering that it’s equivalent to $5 USD or just barely over 1 gallon of fuel at most gas stations during the entire administration of the mumbling, bumbling, stumbling Biden’s string puller’s. 50 gems would b much more reasonable but no more than 100 would b acceptable. I hope that the developers will take my words seriously & give my suggestions some real consideration for any future updates

  • Fun

    Game is fun but for some reason I can’t play unless I’m connected to wifi?
  • Brilliant

    It’s a brilliant game - like the survival and explore solo type games but it is very well thought out , im impressed
  • Money grab pay to play

    Devs better release a non pay to play version for like 10 bucks instead of constant pay upgrades.
  • Great game - reminds me of the original LoZ

    So, first of all, to follow what others have said…

    It is so nice to find a game you don’t have to pay to play! It helps, if you want to move through the game faster, but you can play for hours at a time without ever feeling like you have to pay money.

    Second, I love that this feels like a prettier version of the original Legend of Zelda game. You explore, you talk to people, you gather resources, you fight enemies that need a little bit of strategy to beat but nothing complicated. You have those moments where you get a little frustrated because you can’t beat a boss or solve a quest, but with just a little effort - not so much you feel like giving up - you can beat the boss or quest.

    I have been playing for a few months and I have really enjoyed it the whole time.

  • Great Idea - poor execution

    This game is fun but you run out of energy way too fast. Mining energy seems to use all your energy. You can’t even finish the caves without leaving and mining energy again. Storage is also a major issue. There is very limited storage so you can’t build up reserves, and when you play an event you have to carry all the event items in your backpack bc there is no place to store any of it. Also, things cost way too much gold. You have to should be able to select the things you want to sell for gold instead if giving up valuable resources that you need to upgrade in exchange for gold. The math just doesnt make sense in this game. Lastly, there needs to be a better weapons/armour system. All the weapons are the same and you can never really upgrade them. Please continue to update the game bc it does have a chance to be really good, it just needs to be thought out more. Have the devs tried to play this game themselves???

    Hello! There are many ways to restore energy which will unlock later on in the game: mini-game, the worker delegate system, various dishes with restorative effects also deserter human enemies drop walnuts which restore 3% energy and are basically free to get!
  • Could have been perfect.

    I actually want to give this game 5 stars. But I cannot because they made it almost unplayable when you get into the game; their economy is too expensive and the grind needed is unreal. It makes me angry because it’s exactly the game I’ve been looking for.

    I’d be happy to pay some money, but I looked at what’s on offer and it’s a waste. You’d have to invest a LOT of money (not worth it when I get A* games for cheaper on pc). The “energy” system they have is fruitless, all you do is panic about it running out and then you can’t do anything unless, yup, you guessed it. You pay.

    The good stuff and some bad
    You slowly build your town and go out hunting and fighting which is cool. No real “blocking” mechanism which is sad, so just push the same button down. That’s it.
    I enjoy the mix of animals, people and building that’s required with a nice little resource gathering system. Simple yet rewarding. The boars are cool to kill, but watch out. Sometimes they annoyingly don’t drop ANY resources. It’s a boar. Not even meat?????

    It’s easy to ignore any little nuisances about the game because they actually created something fun, cool and immersive. But I hate to say it’s been spoilt by greed. I’ll probably stop playing soon as the fun is going due to this. But will probably revisit at some later stage to see if anything has changed.

    Worth a download. Just watch your wallet.

  • Was good with great possibilities but ruined by non-content

    I’ve been playing solidly for the last 6 months. Paid for removal of ads and really enjoyed the gameplay. Energy regain is slow without paying.
    There’s heaps of possibilities for content and quests. Bridges still left unbuilt, possible future caves, etc etc.

    Game mechanics were good and interesting.

    The developers have a great game that can provide lots of interesting things for you but the updaters rather have refocused on adding frustrating standard gaming additions like guilds, but guilds that do nothing, or special events that aren’t worth doing for players over level 5. Other players have run out of content at level 40.
    The quests used to be tough but doable, but now they’ve changed the ratios and some quests are impossible. So I’ve moved on…hopefully they’ll refocus on content providing long term revenue rather than empty spectacular for short term gain.

  • It’s a winner!

    I’ve been playing this game for a couple months. I didn’t see any recent reviews for it, so I thought I’d leave one. It’s a rare find: An energy based RPG game that is not pay to win or pay to play. You can save up energy for those times you actually want to use it, and make more energy to store via the food creation system.

    Guilds are available, but not fully developed yet. There are seasonal events, but as a newish free to play player, I have not been taking full advantage of those. I use most of my energy leveling up my character. Events do give rare loot and assure me I won’t get bored any time soon, so I’m still happy to see them.

    Patience and perseverance are needed as a free to play player, but I haven’t hit any roadblocks to advancement. It’s nicely challenging and has a developed storyline that I’m enjoying . :)

    Many thanks to the creators that put out such a solid game on IOS!
