Comfortable

I am really enjoying this game. I did purchase the full version to support after playing the first world. To be honest there are some things I do not understand and I don’t know where to learn about them (for example, I can’t seem to upgrade desert tents or create buildings for different purposes as in the first world, even though my main building is upgraded to a castle, and I don’t know why). However, I am still learning the game. If there’s need to amend my review later I will, but it’s such a fun, non-stressful game I enjoy it nonetheless.

Thank you so much for the lovely review and for supporting Dawnfolk! ❤️ We're really happy you're enjoying the game. To unlock those upgrades, you'll need the rare Science resource, which you can earn primarily by upgrading your home or stronghold, or occasionally discover through exploration, castles, and treasure. We'd also recommend playing through the levels in the Story section, as they're a great way to learn the game's mechanics through the tutorials. If you have any questions, feel free to reach us at support@shortcircuitstudio.com. We're always happy to help. Thanks again for playing and supporting us!

Great game but no puzzle levels

This is a really good strategy game, I liked it enough to buy the full game and I have enjoyed trying to complete every mission.
I would definitely recommend this game.
My only issue is that the mobile version doesnt seem to have any puzzle levels which I was very much looking forward to playing, I feel disappointed that I have to miss out on them 😞
I hope puzzles will come to mobile version one day, otherwise, brilliant game, I love it!

Unplayable due to lack of Apple Pencil Support

I really like playing games on my iPad as due to disability it’s a very accessible way for me to play. I use my Apple Pencil for all games instead of tapping and I’ve never come across a game before where my Apple Pencil taps are completely unrecognised by an app. If I wanted to play this I’d need to use a much less precise soft stylus which, though possible, isn’t ideal, as it often also blocks parts of the screen. I’d really appreciate devs updating the app to let those of us with physical limitations use our Apple pencils to interact with the game!

Thanks for taking the time to share this with us! We're sorry that the lack of Apple Pencil support is making the game difficult for you to enjoy. Unfortunately, our game engine doesn't currently support Apple Pencil input, but we're investigating possible workarounds. We understand how important accessibility is and really appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We can't promise a solution just yet, but we're looking into it!

Good free game

Compared to other mobile games this is amazing. No annoying ads/locked content/fake difficulty that tries to extract your money.

Just a few things that I struggled with:
1. When game is sped up, and thunder/obelisk animations are playing it’s hard to pause/slow down, leading to accidentally loosing more progress than wanted.
2. After first level on hard mode I unlocked ‘endless’ mode. In endless mode is not quite endless because at 999 days too many thunders/obelisks spawn and end the run. But that’s ok, the problem is that even after those 2 runs I didn’t have enough currency to unlock the rest of the storyline?
3. I would purchase the game but nothing explains what do I get from it? Is it just a “thank you” gesture from me, or do I unlock certain things?

Thanks so much for the detailed review! We're really glad you're enjoying the game and appreciate your feedback on the controls and progression. To clarify, nodes priced at 999 are intentionally locked in the free version. Purchasing the full game reduces them to their normal currency costs, allowing you to continue progressing. We know this isn't very clear right now, so we're working on a new pop-up for the next update to explain it better. If you have any questions, reach us at support@shortcircuitstudio.com. Thanks for playing!

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

We really appreciate the kind words! It’s wonderful to know you’re enjoying your time with the game so far! The nodes showing 999 are intentionally locked in the free version, so you can try the game before deciding whether to unlock the full experience. Once purchased, those costs change to their normal amounts so you can continue progressing. We're also working on a patch to make this clearer in game. Thanks for the feedback!

O melhor jogo de telefone que joguei em tempos

De verdade, meu parabéns ao desenvolvedor. O jogo tem uma atmosfera tranquila, da até vontade de morar lá… É muito diferente dos jogos de celular de hoje em dia que parecem que querem acabar com o seu cérebro. Este jogo é realmente, realmente muito bom. A estética está linda a música muito boa… mais uma vez, meus parabéns

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

Thanks for raising this, and sorry for the confusion! This isn't a bug—Puzzles and Expeditions were available during the internal beta test, but weren't included at launch in either the free or paid version. We're hoping to bring them back in a future content update. If you contacted a different email, our correct support address is support@shortcircuitstudio.com, or you can reach us directly through Discord.

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

It’s fine

The gameplay isn’t particularly deep or interesting, but it’s not bad. It’s quite addictive, but that’s not necessarily a good thing.
