Alles ist irgendwie in der Landschaft ein unübersichtliches Durcheinander. Man erkennt keine Ordnung was zuerst erledigt werden muss und was dann als Nächstes kommt. Außerdem lässt sich alles nicht schön zusammenschieben so wie bei anderen Spielen dieser Art. Ist nicht mein Ding sorry **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of the game. We're sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with Fable Town, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will definitely take it into account as we continue improving the game. Thanks again for your input! ### 4/5 — Исправьте ошибку: отключилась возможность просмотра рекламы для получения подарочных бонусов . *2026-08-14* Нет возможности получения бонусов через просмотр рекламы. Прошу исправить ### 3/5 — Great game high in app purchases impossible events *2026-08-09* I love this game a lot. Like a lot. I never leave reviews. I spend money on these games - I believe supporting a free game is reasonable. $40 for 30 days of ad free is absolutely absurd. $9 for 30 days is much more balanced. Or $40 for 6 months. Devs are going to push the entirely optional line about ads and while it’s true, some of us would otherwise spend money on this game but the balance is wayyyyy skewed. The events are super fun too, but without spending enormous amounts of money or watching 3 minute ads all day you simply cannot complete the events. Bottom line is it is a great game but the freemium additions are disproportionate to the value the purchases provide. **Developer response:** Hello! We’re sorry to hear about your negative gaming experience. However, we’d like to clarify that there are no unsolicited ads in Fable Town. Ads only appear if players choose to watch them to earn extra bonuses. Otherwise, the game remains ad-free during regular gameplay. ### 2/5 — Horribly money-greedy game *2026-08-02, version 1.42.0* This game will not stop throwing in-game purchases at you. You’ll get 8 popups in a row. An entire line of the main screen is devoted to paid purchases. And when they do new events, they make the reward for one event a piece for another event (that you won’t win without paying for), so you don’t even get real rewards! At least put all the paid purchases in one button on the side so I can see the freaking island. ### 2/5 — Не запускается *2026-08-01* Upd: зашла в игру а прогресс обнулился, в чем прикол? Как вернуть? Классная игра, но перестала запускаться…уже 3 день, грузит до 26% и все **Developer response:** Hello! We’re really sorry to hear you've experienced issues with the game. Please contact our support team through the game and provide as much detail as possible about the problem. This will help us investigate and assist you more effectively. Thank you for your patience, and have a great day! ### 2/5 — Too expensive! *2026-07-30* This app is way too expensive for a casual player. It’s packs don’t have enough value for the price! SKIP if you want a good value! Already uninstalled. **Developer response:** Hello! We appreciate your feedback. Our aim is to create a balance between enjoyment and advancement in the game. We understand that in-game purchases can be frustrating for some players, but they are entirely optional. Ultimately, it’s your choice on how to play, and you can progress without spending any money. ### 4/5 — Не запускается *2026-07-07* Классная игра, но перестала запускаться…уже 3 день, грузит до 26% и все **Developer response:** Hello! We’re really sorry to hear you've experienced issues with the game. Please contact our support team through the game and provide as much detail as possible about the problem. This will help us investigate and assist you more effectively. Thank you for your patience, and have a great day! ### 1/5 — Energy *2026-06-30, version 1.39.1* If you wanna spend $1,000 dollars then you can play this game for more than 2 minutes. You only get 80 energy every 3- 4 hours and after a certain level you need to spend 30-35 energy 3 to 5 times on one thing that gets your game absolutely nowhere. So literally 40 seconds and you’re out of energy. If you want to play the game for 2 minutes a few times a day then I highly recommend this game lol ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-06-27, version 1.39.1* Didn’t even get past 26% and crashed every time. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same thing. Just deleted it. ### 3/5 — Bug fixes? *2026-06-27, version 1.39.1* App won’t open with the new bug fixes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Short term game *2026-08-24* This is one of those games nice to play initially, but then because of all the downsides that quickly build up and make it no fun to play anymore, the next step will be to delete this game and find the next fun game. ### 1/5 — Broken ads *2026-08-15, version 1.43.0* This used to be my favorite game until all the broken ads! Not worth playing anymore! ### 1/5 — Lost it all *2026-07-29, version 1.42.0* This was by far my favorite game for months. Sadly, in the latest update, I lost all my progress and can’t retrieve it. I don’t want to start all over again, so bye bye to this game. ### 1/5 — Le jeu *2026-07-20* Se jeux que jai télécharger il a un problème on y joue un peu et apres on peux plus y jouer donc je l’es de télécharger **Developer response:** Hello!

Thank you for your patience, and have a great day! ### 1/5 — Honest Review *2026-07-17* The game force the player to pay for everything, I will uninstall this game, there's no fun when everything on this game need to be paid like literally anything! Magnetic, space, time, this game is SUCK! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear that the game didn’t meet your expectations. Our goal is to balance fun and progression, but we understand that in-game purchases can be frustrating. However, they are completely optional—it's up to you to decide how to play, and progression is possible without spending anything. We're always working on feedback like yours to improve the experience. Thank you for giving it a try! ### 1/5 — Game *2026-07-14, version 1.40.0* Can you explain to your players why you want us to play if all you’re gonna do is play for us I’m on level six and you’re still telling me how to play the game. Why do you want your players to play the game if all you’re going to do was play it for us and tell us exactly how to to do everything. it’s not fun. It really is not. You’re taking all the fun out of the game. There’s no enjoyment in it when you do that and you guys are doing that so don’t come back at me and tell me you’re not. cause I get to be able to play by myself. ### 1/5 — Уровни *2026-07-14* Не очень поняла прям восторженные отзывы об игре. 80 единиц вообще не о чем. Их не хватает ни на что. Если вваливать кучу денег, то можно двигаться как-то вперед еще. Сбор фигур - это прям дичь. Чтобы собрать что-то одно, неимоверное количество подфигур собрать. Да ладно бы только одни выходи, куча каких-то бесполезных вещей выходит еще. Все это так затягивается. Теряется весь интерес. Зашел - израсходовал 80 единиц энергии, вышел. Это лично мое мнение, конечно. Дошла до 30 уровня. На аватарке светится 30 уровень, поле с 30 уровнем не открылось. И вот к этому уровню уже бесячка накрывает. Эти бесконечные гитары собирать, 🤦‍♀️, например. Игры рассчитаны на спокойствие. Не получается у меня **Developer response:** Hi there! We're sorry to hear you're finding the game confusing. If you're having trouble with any of the mechanics, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. They’ll be happy to guide you through with step-by-step instructions. We truly appreciate your interest in the game and are here to help. Have a great day! ### 1/5 — The changes suck! *2026-07-06, version 1.40.0* Merging has changed and so has how you activate the auto merge feature. Now things only merge in groups of five, instead of adjusting to merge when the group is larger (8 items won’t merge now). Slowly the granges are degrading the game. Not a fan. Updates keep getting worse. Auto merge used to be a small fee for a week’s time. Now it only uses gems or coins and for a much shorter period of time. Ready to uninstall. It’s all about the money now. Changes are NOT improvements. ### 1/5 — Fable Town *2026-07-03, version 1.40.0* Opening the game . The game will not open on my new iPad and I deleted it from my old iPad. Now this is really stupid and ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Could Have been then the one, but I see a breakup coming! *2026-07-01* I have a love-hate relationship with this game… mostly hate now. It starts off amazing. You’re merging things, unlocking cool items, and thinking, “Wow, this is actually fun!” Then you hit that level where the game decides you’ve had enough happiness. Suddenly it takes the energy equivalent of powering a small city just to clear ONE square. You spend your entire existence merging the exact same items over and over and over again. When you finally create that one giant item you’ve been working toward for what feels like three presidential administrations… surprise! Now you get to wait another million hours for it to finish building. Apparently the construction crew is made up of one snail on a coffee break. And don’t even get me started on the side games. They lure you in by making you think, “Hey, I might actually finish this one!” That’s adorable. They fly by at first, then slam on the brakes so hard they make a snail look like a Formula 1 driver. Unless you’re planning to mortgage your house for in-game purchases, you’re probably not finishing. This game has so much potential, but instead of being relaxing, it slowly turns into a full-time job with no paycheck. Eventually, the boredom wins, your patience packs its bags, and you stop playing. Five stars for the first week… then it becomes an endurance test disguised as a mobile game. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of the game.
