Won’t let me start!!

Absolutely love this game. It’s definitely not an easy game, but it is super fun and feels very rewarding once you do finish it. I can’t even start the game in it’s current state which sucks because I love to play it so much. Other than that, great game, lots of fun, would recommend.

I Love this game!

This game is unique because of the terrain based strategy I focuses on instead of leveling to success. This game requires smart placement instead of hours played. Keep up the good work!

Can’t press “start”

Updated my phone. Checked for game update. Force closed the game and reopened it multiple times. Uninstalled and reinstalled it. GOT A NEWER PHONE. Still nothing. I used to love playing this game and now I can’t even get past the start screen. I don’t know what is going on or what update broke this game for me. But it’s been bugged for a long time. Maybe I’ll change my review if ever I’m allowed to actually play the game again.
