### 3/5 — Good game, probably?

*2024-06-17*

Hi!  I downloaded this game a few months ago because it looked fun, but, to my unpleasant surprise, I could not play it single-player.  I don’t know what’s going on, but when I hit the play button, it just stays with the little loading wheel.  It would be really great if you could fix it, because this game looks really fun.

### 3/5 — Is it just me or does the island look like Switzerland?

*2022-07-27*

I’m telling you it does.

### 4/5 — There is a bug for me

*2022-03-17, version 1.1.1*

I will not connect me to the games and just freezes every time

### 4/5 — A fun game that’s like 80% there

*2022-01-01*

This game is great and I’m happy to have found it but it needs just a bit more complexity. Whether that be buildings, having to deal with your different population types and their opinion of your vote, or something else. This feels like it’s on the precipice of greatness

### 5/5 — I have nothing to say other than it is a great game!

*2021-03-31*

Every game could have some working done on it but this one so far seems perfect, remember me when this game gets famous! 😄

### 3/5 — Huge potential!

*2021-01-05, version 1.0.5*

The premise of the game has huge potential I just feel it needs to be implemented better...make it possible to play with random people from all over the world, add an island chat box with translation capabilities, add the ability to conquer another tribe and become its chieftain also, if you need ideas I’ll be happy to help, there is so much potential here developers please don’t waste it. This is the kind of game that can get millions upon millions of players for years to come if it’s potential is reached, don’t hold the game back devs shoot for the stars.

### 5/5 — Добавьте пж

*2020-12-14*

Игра классная, но будет лучше, если вы добавите русский язык!

### 5/5 — Tutorial

*2020-11-11, version 1.0.5*

The game is great and everything is fine, but at first it’s hard to understand the game and the game doesn’t really tell you what to do and how the people in the game work

### 4/5 — Thief’s

*2020-10-21, version 1.0.5*

The game on the whole is good, however the AI makes some extremely odd decisions at times, and seems to enjoy taking members of your own tribe, even to the point of having no one left.

### 5/5 — Amazing experience but add online

*2020-09-07, version 1.0.3*

AMAZING game, solid 10/10 but add a online mode.

### 3/5 — Re-source management game ok

*2020-08-27, version 1.0.2*

Competitive online resource management game is what this is and it ok

### 1/5 — Looks fun but…

*2022-12-20*

I can’t play it! No servers for non-local play or all so game so I can at least play by myself.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2022-09-24*

Can’t even get new people, only lose people

### 1/5 — Chinese! !

*2022-02-14, version 1.1.1*

negative comment

### 1/5 — Interesting, but low key propaganda

*2021-09-15*

While this game is fun, it gives a very one sided view on certain issues instead of being of a more open and scientific mindset.

**Developer response:** Hey! Thank you for checking out our game! We are aware of how difficult the topic is, but we tried our best to convert our opinion in to a game. Hence, there will always be different opinions on the same topic, which we accept. However, we would be happy if you could change the rating of the game, if you actually liked it :) That would be helpful!

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2021-04-22*

No real clear objective very boring and above all difficult to control.

### 1/5 — Crap servers

*2020-09-04, version 1.0.3*

This game is unplayable the servers are horrible

### 1/5 — What do I even do..?

*2020-08-27, version 1.0.2*

I can’t even tell if this is supposed to be a game. It feels like I’m not doing anything and just watching something happen. Also, when it comes to voting, how am I supposed to know if I should vote yes or no for it if I don’t know how it will affect my tribe. Most of the time I’m just doing nothing waiting for the ability to come off cool down just to convert more people to mine. There needs to be more stuff to do for this to be called a game.

### 1/5 — poorly made

*2020-08-26, version 1.0.2*

this game is way too simple, and it doesn't work well when half the game is unresponsive to touch. if your people are grouped you cant make them all happy (it will only hit the same person every tap) and if you show any sign of going well, the ai will gang up and steal all your townspeople until you have one or sometimes none. had a few games where i went from 7 townspeople to 1 in a few seconds from the ai. it could be a good basic game if they worked out how to make it more interesting and fair

### 1/5 — Does not work, don’t waste time

*2020-08-23, version 1.0.2*

The idea seems ok. So what? If it simply doesn’t work. Over 300MB of useless piece of crap. The game period is 20 years. Wrong, probably that’s the time you will have to waste to connect to any server.
Dev team, maybe it’s time to think of switching careers? I suggest writing educational books for kids. You got this.

### 2/5 — AI

*2022-06-26, version 1.1.1*

The AI is literally made against you, they take all your members either way and it sucks, i love the concept but this is too much, deserves 1 star

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-05*

This is seriously one of the best games I’ve ever played. But it feels a bit too simple. I think it would be way more interesting as a sandbox political game rather than a board game.

### 5/5 — Very fun game

*2026-03-09, version 1.1.1*

Very fun game about democracy, debating and helping your people with both strategy and luck involved in this awesome game. It feels quite like a board game. The art style, animations, sound effects and intricate little details really make this game feel good and professional

### 5/5 — different review for same game uwu

*2025-10-28*

realisticish

### 5/5 — A good start.

*2023-05-21*

This game actually surprised me by how few people are playing it. It has a solid game mechanic, and the game has been translated into English perfectly. Sure, the game is a bit plain, but with time and a couple updates, I believe this game will become the next polytopia.

### 5/5 — A great game!

*2022-11-11*

It's a great game but I hope there is a Chinese version.

### 5/5 — Play god with politics!

*2022-11-08*

In this game you are essentially the president of the village of your choice, You have to vote on your peoples behalf and keep your people happy.

Pro beginner tip: your not at war with other villages.
If you understand that early on you’ll get far.
 Overall great game, simple graphics and a cool voting system!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2022-10-21*

This game is fantastic! Most of the negative reviews are obvious trolls, Communists, or Chinese propagandists. So don’t let them get you guys down! Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Really good game

*2022-10-09, version 1.1.1*

It is a great game to play with friends or family, however it gets a bit repetitive over time. Nevertheless we absolutely love it in my family !

### 5/5 — Switzerland

*2021-10-06, version 1.1.1*

The island is the shape of Switzerland 🇨🇭

### 5/5 — Question

*2021-04-07*

I would to have a friendly sparring match with any of the developers :) any way we can make that happen?
