Love it, just one issue
I absolutely love this game, usually i just install, get tired of, then get rid of idle games, but this one I absolutely love, can’t barely put it down, I really like the balancing act around 3-4 areas but i have one issue, the cards for new characters are far too hard to get, I can’t afford to spend money to buy them and out of the probably 20 cards I’ve gotten so far in this area not one is a new one that I actually need, it makes progress slow, i have the farm maxed out but it literally can’t produce enough food for only 12 survivors, there are at least 12 more beds I can’t buy because the survivors will just die and strike over and over, I feel like for every little bit of progress i make, my survivors die and i just start ticking backwards.

Too reliant on the heroes
Fun gameplay, could play this for months. However, once you reach the third city you become locked out from progressing at a reasonable pace due to you needing some heroes that you’re gonna find very hard to obtain unless you buy them with real money. I like the hero system but needing them to be able to put workers in a building just makes this game frustrating. This probably wouldn't be an issue if you were still receiving heroes from doing tasks at this point but they give that up after the second city. Literally my only issue with the game but it’s such a big issue it almost completely ruins this game. If you just kept the crate rewards for doing tasks then at least i would just feel unlucky but currently it feels like I’m being kept behind a gate i can only open if i pay £6.99 and thats just for this city who knows how much I’ll need to pay next time.

Good until it’s not
I will start by saying I really enjoyed this game when I started playing. Progression was fast, I was ticking off tasks constantly and it was satisfying to get them all done and move on and start again in a new city with new buildings.
But now I’m on Plain City, only the third city I think, and I don’t have the heroes for the iron mine or foundry 1 so I can only assign ONE survivor to these buildings, severely bottlenecking my output. This has slowed progress significantly and made the game almost completely unengaging.
I imagine this is intentional to incentivise you to buy gems and chests but at their extortionate prices, I won’t be paying for anything in this game.
The only thing I’m holding out for now is the occasional events, one is due to start later today where I can presumably build a new city with progression that isn’t completely messed up.
I don’t know how long it will take me to get past this city because it takes so long to do even one level of minor upgrades on any building. I don’t know if I will get past it at all before I get fed up with the slow progression and uninstall.
This game had the potential to be so good and it was my favourite game on my phone until this point, and my complaint is echoed by every other review on the App Store but the developers seem determined to keep things the way they are in the pursuit of revenue. I hope it is solved, please listen to the players.

Good game but a cash grab.
I really enjoy playing this but it looks like you have to pay on each level except the first one. I purchased an $8.99 pack to get a missing hero so I could use a factory on the second level. Have been playing the third level and no matter what can’t get Sophia from the free chests but she’s sitting in the store there for $8.99. If you think people are going to pay this price for each level you are dreaming….

Great but there’s a bug
I love the game but the hunters don’t work properly. They don’t hunt when they are supposed to which throws off the rest of the city. Once this is fixed it’ll be an awesome game
Can’t load at all
Loved the game, until this afternoon when I tried to open it while I wasn’t home (thought the wifi was the problem), however, it seems to be the game itself. It won’t load and just sits on the main screen forever. If it’s not fixed at the end of the week I’ll be requesting my money back from apple. Happy to spend a little here and there, I am not happy to spend money on a game I can no longer access. Update: it’s been a few days and nothing has changed, can’t send a message to the support when the game won’t load and no response to this. I guess I’m going to ask for a refund and delete the game, disappointed.

It’s been great but the bugs are really coming out
The game itself has been fun. Albeit, the other reviews are spot on when referring to how difficult it becomes to progress once you hit the 3rd city. I personally am one to spend no more than 20$ usd on games. I’m only at the 4th city and I’ve already had to do that. It is difficult to keep workshops updated and producing enough material when you have to hope and pray you’re given that heroes card to have them start working.
Today I also encountered a login error. I haven’t been able to open the game and play since yesterday. I love the concept, and hope the bugs get worked out so I, and others, can continue to enjoy what you’ve built!

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great game but
This game is so heavily dependent on the heroes I’ve been stuck on city 3 for the past week. I understand it’s an idle game but truth be told there’s nothing fun in returning just to find out you barely have any more items than you did the last time you logged in. The people on the discord server are of no help either and act as if everything is all rainbows and cupcakes, boasting about how they made it without paying, especially because they’ve seen the multiple people who complain about not being able to collect the heroes too. I’ve gone without Sophia in city 3 for so long and it’s getting to the point even foundry 2 has progressed a lot more. It’s so bad and the survivors have paused multiple times because there wasn’t enough resources to continue production. There is currently only one survivor working in the first foundry and I don’t have the patience to wait until every event to get a chest or card, just to find out it isn’t even the card that I need.
Don’t bother with the “thank you for feedback and if you have more you can email us” because I will tell you right here. Stop making the game so focused on the heroes because you’re intensely slowing down gameplay for not just me but for multiple other players. I’d rather have more upgrades and longer building times than have to sit and wait for days just to never end up getting the card I need.

Brilliant :)
I’ve had this game for a while and I love that although it’s an idle game, it’s still entertaining to be on the game for a while and watch all the survivors run around. I especially like the events, I think they really keep the game interesting. I see a lot of people in the reviews complaining that it’s too hard to get certain heroes. Yes I get a bit frustrated sometimes as well, usually it’s because my survivors start to starve because I don’t have the hero for green house production. But I also like that because games are supposed to be a bit challenging right?😂I don’t really get why people are complaining, especially as it’s quite easy to save up gems and buy the booster box things🤷♂️ so yeah brilliant game, keep the events coming!

Great game but needs tweaks
First & foremost, I’ve grown to love this game, the overall management is something I’ve always been into. However, as per in game survey reviews, I feel like the heroes situation needs to change. Or at least increase the probability of getting some. I understand the devs have to make money somehow. But as previously stated, it gets progressively harder to move forward, especially when you’re in dire need for specific heroes. Which then means you’re getting less of a specific material that you need from the get go & you’re literally stuck in the same map anywhere up to 2 weeks. Also, I’ve encountered situations where I had plenty of food, the workers would go eat but not actually collected said food & went back to work, to a point where I had a few die on me due to this. I’m not sure whether this is a bug.
