Game review

Very challenging game. Really enjoy it.😀

Love playing

I wish more changes would happen

Could Be Better

Game is great in many ways, however, the game company (Innogames) is very ill focused. Rather than build on what has been established and in the works since day one.. Innogames focuses on special events, side projects, etc. and you’re left waiting FOREVER ( it took me over 8 years to build one statue!) to get the pieces needed to complete your building / project / whatever you want to call it. And property in the game is also extremely slow and difficult to obtain. Leaving you with more buildings than you can use.
If you play.. this is a VERY long term game. And the first year will be slow.

Best long term game

Been playing for years now. It just keeps going. Something to see every day.

Very Addicting, just need few more things

So mostly, the game itself is good. But with the settlements, they should add Settlement Americas, and Inca Empire. They should also fix the global chat, as the curse words are not censored, but the game is mostly good. Also, I’m SuperManios8, World is Sinerania, and I’m in Colonial Age just Recently, ok bye.
