## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 3/5 — Decent game but not optimized for mobile

*2025-12-01*

Fun game but the menus get in the way and spill over the screen so you can’t see or close out of some of them. Maybe fine on a desktop but needs some sort of adaptive element for phone/ipad screen size

### 4/5 — I’m enjoying it

*2026-05-18*

This is genuinely one of the better idle games I've played.

The prestige system is where the replay value kicks in. When you reset you get to collect historical Great People, real figures with unique bonuses that carry into your next run. Keeps it fresh.

The base game is completely free and the Supporter Pack (I paid $3.99) gets you a badge, custom name color in chat and on the trade map, and some QoL perks.

The retro 90s desktop UI is fun, nostalgia vibes.

My only real issue is the mobile UI on iPhone. Things are visibly cut off and the flow of the game suffers for it. I switched to my iPad and it is a totally different experience. 

Fix the phone scaling and this is an easy 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-25*

Very fun game that does not require paying money or watching ads

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-06-13*

Excellent game, reminiscent of the era progressions in those old civ games. Expect resource management, upgrades, perks, and a prestige system that has you coming back to reach new milestones. The dev has done a great job of making the game accessible and playable for free, and the game chat / community engagement is very helpful. Cross-platform interaction is possible if you also want to play this on steam. I recommend highly.

### 5/5 — Looks fun

*2026-01-01*

I think this game could be great. Just needs to be optimized better for iPhone screens. I played industry idle and that worked well. A few tweaks and it should be playable and good.  Please keep updates coming and adding new content. Thank you.
