I have a level 8 tower, but the drill says “Required: Tower Level 8”. The game softlocks you from finishing, which makes me assume it’s just shovelware that they didn’t even bother finishing the last 2/3 pf the game. The only thing that was keeping me going was wanting to see what the dwarven halls and next set of progression looked like, so it’s really disappointing. ### 1/5 — WOW ADS *2024-11-04, version 3.8* I played this game for about 5 mins and got at least 10 forced ads. I cant possibly imagine playing at this rate, so I just deleted. Never had so many ads in a game before. It was non-stop!! ### 1/5 — the update is horrendous *2024-09-06, version 3.1* the newest update has a lot of issues. it’s not even worth it to play cus your progress doesn’t stay from one day to the next ### 2/5 — Pointless *2024-09-06, version 3.1* Slow and pointless. No real goal with the need to use adds if you want to progress in the next 100 years. ### 1/5 — Horrible design *2024-09-02, version 1.9* I’ve never written a review but this one moved me to. I spent 10$ and then 9$ for no ads and still had tons of ads at every turn. The game does not progress at all (or minimally) during power up ads so there’s no point. Upgrading with food gives 1/3 the exp towards backpack size and you can’t hit max level if you don’t watch all videos - so no point to even having food or fishing. Second level is a complete glitch. Overall would be fun if they weren’t greedy ### 1/5 — Battery killer *2024-06-18* Iphone 13pro gets VERY hot and battery drops rapidly. Poorly coded game Ada after most upgrades past first few. Gameplay decent but battery death and ads make unplayable ### 1/5 — Updates still resetting progress *2024-04-23, version 1.1* They just did a small fixes update and all of my progress and ad watches are now reset back to zero after their update that said this bug has been fixed. ### 1/5 — Update *2024-04-21, version 0.9* I really like the game but was highly mad when it was updated and I had to restart from the beginning. I’m so glad I have not put any money into this game yet. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2024-04-20, version 0.9* Was a decent way into the first area and it reset all my progress. Deleting ### 2/5 — Every update resets your game. *2024-04-02, version 0.7* This game is fun, but everytime it updates the game starts over. It’s so frustrating. ### 2/5 — Nothing to do *2024-03-25, version 0.4* Once you upgrade and everything to the max that’s it you don’t move to a different place or anything which is disappointing to spend all that time for nothing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bollocks *2025-12-16, version 6.3* I have all first level buildings maxed out and have but the drill, but the game says I need to upgrade gold storage to level 2. Well past that. Level 1 progress shows 10%, but there’s no more I can upgrade. Did they not finish anything beyond level 1? ### 1/5 — Was good *2025-12-10, version 6.3* Was good till I got all buildings to max the chapter process 99.29. And still have quests like upgrade gold storage to level 2 it’s at max like all other buildings ### 1/5 — Person *2025-10-09, version 6.3* Can’t even complete the daily achievements it just doesn’t count the collected resources or building complete (the easiest quests), the concept is good, the product feels unfinished maybe check back in a years time ### 1/5 — Not happy *2025-09-11, version 6.3* It would be a good game but the thing that annoys me is the auto button won’t even turn off fix it to make it be available to turn on and off ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-05-12, version 5.2* So a few days ago all of my buildings dropped from like level 10+ back down to level 1 or not even built. Also combat I went from having 4 support dwarves and the first 18 levels cleared back down to level 2 and it won’t let me appoint support dwarves even though all four slots are unlocked ### 1/5 — Well, that was a let down *2025-05-10, version 5.2* As others said, got to the second level and stuff bugged out. Cant get a resource and it brought stuff from the first level to the second so now I can’t progress as I can’t build the structure and it doesn’t recognize the existing one. I’d honestly have given it 5 stars if I could play it ### 1/5 — Can’t get to second level *2025-04-20, version 5.1* Similar problem as in another review. I have completed everything, and cannot get to the next level ### 1/5 — どゆこと？ *2025-04-01, version 4.9* Drill Machine作ろうと思っても、要求されてるタワーレベル8にしたけど作れない。詰んでるやん。 ### 1/5 — You can’t get to the second level *2025-03-17, version 4.9* I was really enjoying this game, but I’ve gotten to the point on level one where I have every building fully upgraded and I have the drill, but you can’t get to the second level. It keeps telling me to upgrade a building to level two that I have fully maxed. I think the developers may have stopped after they built the first level just to try and get as many ads and purchases as they can get on the first level. ### 1/5 — Started off ok *2025-01-19, version 4.7* Something is wrong with this game. On screen buttons don’t work, game constantly resets all your progress. Like the developer’s said, you know what let it die. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-10-04* It is fun to play and build your kindgdom ### 5/5 — Good Game *2024-05-17, version 1.3* A truly immersive game, congratulations ### 4/5 — Oyun takılı kaldı *2025-10-02, version 6.3* Birinci bölümdeki tüm binaları max seviye yapmama rağmen upgrade gold storage level 2 diyor. Chapters İlerlemesi %99,29 da kaldı. ### 4/5 — Cool! *2024-05-01, version 1.1* I love this game. Even bought the ad free upgrade. Got past the first map, then it basically freezes when you got to build something. Have to close and open and hope it’s progressed. ### 4/5 — Stop resetting my progress! *2024-04-02, version 0.7* I love this game! But every time there is an update all my progress is reset back to the beginning! I was almost to the drill! I’ll change my rating to 5 stars when this stops happening. ### 4/5 — Good game overall but… *2024-03-01* The shop and build button are hidden behind the ad banner I have big thumbs and it’s uncomfortable to tilt my thumb to press in a small space. I like everything else. ### 3/5 — Game stops *2024-06-12, version 1.4* You need a blacksmith to upgrade to tower 7. The blacksmith requires tower 7. So.. no more gameplay. ### 2/5 — こういうの好き *2025-10-08, version 6.3* 日本語ってなってるけどなってないから残念 ### 2/5 — Can’t move to second level. *2025-02-26, version 4.9* Hey I can’t move to the second level. I’ve enjoyed the game but a little frustrated with maxing everything out but it won’t let me move on. ### 2/5 — Purchase restoration not working *2025-01-23, version 4.7* I truly enjoy the game a lot, for an idle game I’d say it’s 5 stars. But I quit playing for a while and deleted the app after buying all heroes and no ads. Upon my return to play it again months later my purchase restoration won’t work starting a new game and I have lost about 30$. Unless that’s fixed I’ll always review negatively --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
