### 5/5 — I like it:)

*2023-04-02*

I personally like this game, it’s not just a “role play” as listed, it’s a little adventure game that I quite enjoy, ik it doesn’t seem like much of a game but I find it entertaining, restore is so expensive:( but it’s okay haha, the devs prolly stopped with this game but you guys should add a little more to it :) buildable building wise, likeeeee a research center? Or something like that stuff to advance in tech not furturistic but to modern day stuff.  Not tanks and such but I hope you get where I’m getting :)

### 3/5 — iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2

*2017-01-11, version 3.16*

Bug sur iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2 quand on va sur la carte temps d'attente extrêmement long voire impossible pour entrer dans une zone. Sinon le jeu est génial bravo aux développeurs!!!

### 1/5 — Игра прикольная... что...

*2017-01-06, version 3.16*

Я потратил 4 дня, не вылезая из игры... пришло обновление и весь мой прогресс потерялся!!! Нельзя так поступать с игроками :( придется удалить ваше творение!

### 3/5 — Please carry on

*2017-01-04*

Simple & good, but can be better.
Detailed intro for materials & buildings, better experience of adventure, balanced material output.
Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great fun!!

*2017-01-02*

Started playing this game and didnt know what to expect, but after a few minutes of playing, started to enjoy it. Both my son and i play this now. Only flaw with the game is that there is no real detail on what the items are or do before you buy or craft them, takes a bit of trial and error to see what the items do, but apart from that a real fun game

### 5/5 — cool game!

### 4/5 — Iron

*2016-04-23, version 3.08*

I can not find an iron mine. Anyone have the same issues? Or does anyone know how to find one?

### 4/5 — Good game but expensive materials

*2016-04-01, version 3.07*
