I’m annoyed that all my time and effort is wasted. I’ve given 3 stars but it could be 5 stars but for this problem I have. ### 5/5 — Intriguing game *2022-11-20, version 1.0.5* There is so much to do with buying and building on your land, and then you have to think to solve puzzles in order to build. I have never seen such an interesting game. Love it! ### 5/5 — Julie *2022-11-13, version 1.0.5* Great game to keep mind working! ### 5/5 — Cradle of Egypt *2022-10-16* Cradle of Egypt. Habe angefangen zu spielen. Mir hat alles gefallen. Also gekauft und bin immer noch begeistert. ### 3/5 — Waiting is for nothing...Example *2022-10-15* 1. Dieses Spiel: Auf iPhone kaum spielbar, außer mit Lupe. 2. Zu 'Cradle of Empire' auf ATV. Preise, wie in einem alten ROM Bewertung nur mit 5* möglich?! Eigentlich möchte ich hierzu nur 1nen Stern vergeben. Nichts gegen Geld verdienen, aber der Snob der Spieleentwickler hat seine Grenzen, aber Zeit ist Geld; und auch das ist nix neues 3. Bläh. Viel Spaß damit! P.S.: Für die liebevolle Gestaltung (für jeden gibt es einen Liebhaber*i) des Sammelsuriums, vergebe ich einen weiteren Stern. Besonders auffällig, die Sklavenpeitsche aus der Hafenanlage. ### 5/5 — Cradle of Egypt *2022-09-15, version 1.0.5* Très bon, ça ressemble à celui sur DS Lightning que j’aime beaucoup! ### 5/5 — I should be sleeping but I am playing this game *2022-09-14, version 1.0.5* I don’t do very well except in the relaxed state that’s probably because I should be sleeping because it’s late at night. I’m probably one of your oldest players, 80 years old! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-08-12, version 1.0.5* Pas mal certain que ce sont les mêmes concepteur que 7 wonders of the world que nous avions beaucoup aimé. Bravo ! ### 5/5 — I’ve always loved this game. *2022-06-13, version 1.0.5* Great way to sit in the shade and watch the garden grow. ### 5/5 — Reseña *2022-05-16, version 1.0.5* Hasta ahora es bastante entretenido,lo recomiendo ### 5/5 — Match 3 + *2022-02-17, version 1.0.5* I like that there are different types of puzzles mixed with the match 3 games. However, it would be good if, instead of just "solve," there was a facility to go back and try again. I am enjoying it, but have only been playing for a short time. ### 5/5 — So enjoyable! *2021-10-24, version 1.0.5* I love this game. Everything about it is top notch. Graphics are nice, game play is relaxing and challenging. Love the mini games. Thanks for creating it! ### 5/5 — Brilliant. *2021-07-19, version 1.0.5* I have only just started playing this game & I’m hooked already I’ll let you know more when I’ve played a little longer 🤪 ### 5/5 — CJ *2021-05-03, version 1.0.5* Awesome 👏 ### 3/5 — Schade *2021-03-29* Dass das Spiel bis zu einem gewissen Level kostenfrei ist, um dann zu kosten. Echt doof ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tolles Spiel mit schlechter Portierung *2025-01-06* Ich habe vorher 2 Sterne gegeben. Nun ziehe ich einen ab, weil ein Bug verhindert, alle Trophäen zu sammeln, wenn man alle Herzen verloren hatte. In dem Fall wird das Spiel soweit zurückgesetzt, dass man die aktuelle Epoche nochmal komplett spielen muss. Alle Teophäen, die kurz vorher gesammelt wurden, sind weg. Als ich versuchte, die Trophäe „Klick zweimal auf die Schaltfläche Mehr Spiele“ erneut holen wollte, ging das nicht. Schlecht portiert und das Geld nicht wert. Wenn ich könnte, würde ich das Geld zurückverlangen. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-12-30, version 1.0.5* I have to keep reinstalling because I can play like 1 or 2 levels and it freezes ### 1/5 — LAME!!!!!!!! *2022-10-03, version 1.0.5* It should not cost any money it only goes to level 100 then all done. Not to mention it makes no sense to build some city but can’t do anything to it. A waste of time that I can’t ever get back. A trillion 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻. ### 1/5 — Cradle of Egypt *2021-09-12, version 1.0.5* The same as Cradle of Rome 2 but with ‘harder’ bits to get to the next level. You’ll know what I mean when I say it’s like those web sites where you have to ‘prove you’re not a robot’…click on the photos with traffic lights etc. Really clunky and doesn’t work well. So only harder because the software is rubbish. I loved the original Cradle stuff, but this is awful. ### 1/5 — False Advertising *2018-12-18* If I knew how to report this game to Apple I would, because this is in fact NOT a free game, but only a 20 level trial. And based on those levels, it’s not worth the price for adverted 80 more levels in the premium version. ### 1/5 — Ripped Off - Buyer Beware *2018-05-16, version 1.0.5* I purchased the premium version via in-game... was charged via iTunes... bank confirmed the deduction... game is still locked. I contacted awem via Facebook (the only method I see to contact them)... was given a link to "I purchased a game but it’s still locked why"... well I had already took the steps in the link BEFORE I contacted awem. I then contacted awem to confirm those steps were taken and the game is still locked... that was a week ago and nobody has responded... So I was charged $5.34 and still have no game... and no support. Who is responsible awem or iTunes? Will contact bank to refuse/recall the payment. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save!!! *2018-03-20, version 1.0.5* The game is good however everytime you open the game you have to start from the beginning. Not happy that I paid £5 for it and now I won’t play it as not starting on level 1 everytime! Sort it out guys!!!!! ### 1/5 — What’s going on here!!! *2017-12-03, version 1.0.5* Should of stuck to the original origins of Egypt. Far as race. I can’t take this game serious with pharaoh being white.or any of theses Egypt characters being white. Lose the ego! ### 1/5 — Game is good but why lie about family sharing? *2017-10-26, version 1.0.5* I have no issues with the game - it’s really good but why lie that the game offers family sharing when it doesn’t? If you buy this game expecting to share it with your family, think again. It will only work for one Apple ID per purchase. I’ve checked this Apple support and they have confirmed that this is the case. Stop lying. If it doesn’t support Family Sharing don’t say that it does. ### 1/5 — Cradle of Egypt *2017-01-22, version 1.0.4* I have been playing this game for less than 3 hours and it has completely frozen! My wife playsCradle of empires and has had many problems.I am very disappointed so can you please sort this out THANKYOU ??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-07-15, version 1.0.5* I used to play this game long ago back in 2012-2013. Haven’t played it since then. But I always wondered about it and tried to recollect the features but could not remember the name to see if its still available. Then i did some detailed research describing the game on chatgpt and it found it for me. Thanks to the developers who made this game, its very relaxing and made my teenage years the best!!! Thanks a lot for still having this game around. ❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Challenging but relaxing *2026-06-23, version 1.0.5* A favourite game in relaxed mode. It challenging but very relaxing. One of the few games without in app purchases. Just a very enjoyable game like they used to make. ### 5/5 — Very Addictive *2025-11-24, version 1.0.5* Love this game, so relaxing, great graphics & seriously addictive, love it! ### 5/5 — Groovy *2025-08-05, version 1.0.5* Great game with no add one once game is bought. Love the fact the match 3 isn’t the kind with limited moves - hate those! Nice graphics, easy but addictive. Played it loads of times. We need more games like these. ### 5/5 — Crandle of egypt *2024-06-29* Zum Zeitvertreib ideal macht Spaß ### 5/5 — nettes unterhaltsames Spiel *2024-03-22* Für den Preis ein nettes, unterhaltsames Spiel. Installation und Performance ohne Probleme. ### 5/5 — No add one *2023-11-05, version 1.0.5* It is so great to play a game which is free to download then you pay just one price to pay. Not full of endless prompts to buy x in so called free games, and you can only proceed having spent a lot of money. Wish there were more games like this. ### 5/5 — Best Game *2023-10-05, version 1.0.5* This simply the match 3 game ever! ### 5/5 — Addicting! *2023-06-28, version 1.0.5* I’m recovering from back surgery and helps pass the time. Would like updated version with better graphics and can get glitchy. ### 5/5 — Rita *2022-11-27, version 1.0.5* I love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
