Good first level

I enjoyed the first level and played it on the two available modes but I don’t have enough currency to move on… It has the option to purchase the game but no details of what that means

Gamemodes disappear after purchase

While this game is a lot of fun, and I’ve had a blast playing, it’s been bugging me that when I was playing the free version there was a puzzles tab and a daily expedition tab, similar to townsfolk’s weekly challenge, but after purchase those gamemodes vanished.
I downloaded this on release day and bought it two days later. After over a month of patiently waiting for a fix and even emailing the address on their website, nothing. Its a big reason I cannot in good conscious recommend anyone buy this game right now. 2 of the 5 core gamemodes are inaccessible *after* spending money. It’s only one issue, sure, but it’s a pretty big one

Ich liebe es ❤️

Ich habe das Spiel nur kurz angespielt und liebe es jetzt schon. Ich freu mich auf viele schöne Spielmomente.

Bitte Bitte 🙏 überarbeitet das App-Icon, das wird dem Spiel nicht gerecht und verschandelt den Homescreen.

Macht Spaß, Gerne mehr Content

Ist ein super Spiel. Hat mich dazu bewegt alle Erfolge haben zu wollen. Nur sind irgendwann die Gebäude zu wenig und nicht Abwechslungsreich genug. Super finde ich die Zufälligen Ereignisse zwischendurch. Die Alptraum Karte im Endlos Modus ist ne richtige Herausforderung. Die Völker könnten noch eine größere Rolle spielen. Z.B. das Elfen bei den Piraten helfen oder oder. Danke für das Spiel

wonderful game, challenging progression

The game looks and plays incredibly well, there is plenty to do and it had me hooked from the beggining.

Unfortunately I think the progression is a tad too challenging for me personally. Ive beaten the first level on both availible dificulties (some are hidden behind unlocks) and as far as I can tell Ive earned all the achievements availible in those levels. Despite this however I havent earned enough of the in-game currency to actually progress past the first level.

update: reopened the game and all the unlocks have become availible to me
