Didn’t continue after the beginning because it was slow. Basically the same as any video game engine except for the fact that it’s God themed (although God says it’s offensive to him anyways), form terrain and place characters and objects. The question of “did humans make God or did God make humans?” posed by spiritually dead brain cells is answered by saying “if God made humans then it’s obvious from history because even pagans before Judaism worshipped God in the Middle East, and does time start thousands of years after humans first emerged and first documented their history on earth anyways? ### 3/5 — Slow start God Bless You *2026-08-26, version 1.47* Didn’t continue after the beginning because it was slow.

Игра через время теряет свой смысл так как все территории заселены и дальше ты занимаешься только украшательством, но например поляны цветов которые мне очень нравятся быстро закончились так как у них есть лимит. Цветные домики крутые, но хочется больше возможностей творить за веру а не за алмазы и плюс высадка деревьев только одного типа тоже делает украшательство грустным занятием. Т. е. Мне бы хотелось чтобы была возможность высадить биом, высаживать цветы и нечто похожее безлимитное, делать жителям красивые поселения и свет конечно тоже только за алмазы делает игру в украшение сбором донатов. Люблю эту игру уже много лет и желаю ей развития и процветания. Догматы это прекрасно но не в таком количестве, вы, разработчики и так много лет не особо обновляете игру и контент при этом многие остаются ее поклонниками. Пожалуйста дайте возможность сделать мои миры красивее и интереснее. Кроме цветов ведь есть кусты, деревья биома, может возможность в некоторых мирах биом менять или другие виды цветов и растительности, камни. Почему бы в игре про ландшафт не добавить игрокам возможность менять этот ландшафт по полной и добавлять не только какие то монументы но и творения природы в безграничном объеме. ### 3/5 — It’s not that it’s bad *2026-08-21, version 1.47* Trust me you’ll be hooked for the first four hours maybe and then all of a sudden you have nothing to do no points no beliefs and you just sit there saying oh, I’m bored and I’m done now I guess. ### 4/5 — Great game, one problem. *2026-08-20, version 1.47* I absolutely love this game. My mum would play it when I was little and now I’m playing it too. Although it’s amazing, there is one problem. I cannot get past the second level of the Arctic Expedition. There is absolutely no way to complete it. My sister has the game and she too is stuck on this level. I’ve tried looking it up on YouTube and all of the videos are from years ago and the game has been updated since then. If anyone has any tips, please tell me! ### 4/5 — No way to restart? *2026-08-06, version 1.47* I wish there was a way to start over without deleting and redownloading while also keeping gems/unlocked by gem items. Otherwise I love this game. I’ve played it a few times and it’s fun and beautiful. ### 2/5 — Too many pop ups *2026-07-29, version 1.47* Fun game but the screen is constantly covered in pop ups. “Check on astari ppl” “voyage boat full and ready” “uplander challenge” like just let me play the game without forcing me to click 6 different pop ups ### 2/5 — Potential *2026-07-27, version 1.47* Could’ve been a great game, probably was once… Just like all companies you turned it into a cash grab… You can play for 5 minutes straight tops before you need to spend money or wait hours to continue. ### 2/5 — This buggy game *2026-07-14, version 1.47* The gameplay was good, but it soon became hard to manage happiness levels. But soon after, the game pretty much became unplayable, after getting stuck in a pop-up, with no way to click out. Even trying to restart the app brings the popup back. ### 4/5 — Crashed *2026-07-11* This game crashes and does not open until I reinstall. I use iphone 15 and don't believe it's an issue of phone. I love the game but it's no use if i just see white screen all the time ### 3/5 — Mmmmm no *2026-07-05, version 1.47* It takes far too long to do anything. ### 3/5 — Beautiful fun game but pay to play *2026-07-05, version 1.47* You can only get so far until you need more gems than you can possibly get without paying. It’s a beautiful game I would pay for it once but I’m not gonna pay to play. ### 3/5 — Fun game, awful scam ads *2026-07-03, version 1.47* Game itself is good but it is so annoying you get an ad pop up every time you open a the card menu and 90% of the time it is an ad for scam apps that trick you into thinking you can get rich off a phone game. Scummy af ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’m almost impressed *2026-08-24, version 1.47* There’s nothing like a mobile game that completely lacks touch precision. Especially when that touch precision ultimately makes you spend money! It drains your most basic gameplay resource. And any QOL features that help with touch precision drain that same resource — on an exponential level. What a coincidence, I’m sure, that this is the devs’ main form of monetization. Taking advantage of… what? Their OWN improperly engineered interface? Surely they wouldn’t sink that low. Yeah, they would. Side note: the part of the population meant to represent women are called Breeders. They wear pink dresses, sit around, and talk all day. They aren’t allowed to help with building. Take from that what you will. ### 1/5 — Bug report *2026-08-05, version 1.47* Long development. Many hours of play. During the game, I lost all the progress and in one second the game started again. There is no point in developing your huge world again. Huge dislike for developers who don't follow their game. ### 1/5 — used to be fun *2026-07-21, version 1.47* i remember getting this game years ago and it wasn’t so money hungry. i miss it. maybe id redownload if they weren’t such slum lords. ### 1/5 — Too expensive and complicated to enjoy *2026-07-18, version 1.47* It’s almost impossible to achieve anything in this game without paying micro transactions. Because if you don’t, then you’ll probably be waiting for hours until it gives you a window of opportunity to go on a belief spree before going into another long waiting session. It has so many challenges to the point where it’s hard to enjoy it as a game. It just feels like a giant promotion for spam and you’re better off paying for an angry birds game rather than this micro transactional nightmare ### 1/5 — Stay away *2026-07-17, version 1.47* I want you to think about this, this game came out in 2014, the only updates have been to install new way to get real money from you, that’s it bla bla bla we updated shiny …. Sure it’s brighter woohoo on I’m sorry you want more more more money money money. Videos to get this and that and not one two, at one point I thought it was broken or crashed cause it wouldn’t stop loaded ads so I closed the app and guess what I didn’t get credited so uninstalled and done.. stay away this game should be free it’s 14 years old and not really any updates so… or one time purchase of like 5$ you own it done. ### 1/5 — Yikes *2026-07-16, version 1.47* Women are "breeders" while men are "builders", and the indigenous locals are "up to something"... Yikes ### 1/5 — Not fun *2026-07-08, version 1.47* I enjoyed this game for a while and now I am beyond frustrated as I am not able to get beyond certain areas for varying reasons. I tried contacting them yet no response and nothing helps online. There are some design flaws for sure and the voyages for the most part suck. I can see why they stopped developing this game. You get the user hooked and then half way they get to realize all the work they built playing is for nothing because certain checkpoints are impossible to figure out. ### 1/5 — Will not load *2026-06-26, version 1.47* Tried to download it and play but just get a white screen ### 1/5 — Gameplay broken *2026-06-15, version 1.47* I can’t do anything after building the first shelter. Can’t clear rocks or drag any earth. No prompts on what to do. ### 1/5 — WHYYYY *2026-06-13, version 1.47* Actually sooooo repetitive. I am having to strain my brain to list a singular good thing. Ah, here we are. Good graphics. BYEEEEEEEEEE ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-17, version 1.47* No questions ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-08-09, version 1.47* I absolutely LOVE this game! Godus is so relaxing, entertaining, and surprisingly addictive. I love being able to build my own little world, help my people, discover new things, and slowly watch everything grow. There’s something really satisfying about shaping the land and feeling like you’re actually creating your own little civilization. My only real complaint is that at times it almost feels like a pay-to-play game. Progress can become quite slow, and some things seem to encourage you to spend money if you want to move forward faster. I completely understand that games need to make money, but I wish there were a little more balance between earning things through gameplay and being encouraged to purchase them. That being said, I still absolutely adore Godus. It’s a beautiful, unique, relaxing game that I find myself coming back to again and again. If the developers made progression a little more generous for players who choose not to spend money, I honestly think this game would be nearly perfect. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy building, exploring, and creating your own world! ### 5/5 — great *2026-07-31, version 1.47* not crazy amounts of ads too ### 5/5 — Too good *2026-07-29, version 1.47* This game is amazing ### 5/5 — One of my favorite games *2026-07-25, version 1.47* This game makes you feel like you are sculpting and creating your own personal experiences. I find the terraforming and upgrading aspect of the game to be satisfying and relaxing. For a mobile game, this is a fun experience. ### 5/5 — Glad to see it’s still alive! *2026-07-24, version 1.47* Finally coming back to the game and glad it’s still alive though it’s been a year since the last update. Such a unique gaming experience and not as complicated as some games of this kind but also not farm world or others of the kind. ### 5/5 — I love Godus *2026-07-23, version 1.47* This game is fantastic and it allows you to easily farm belief and make amazing creations, and all the challenges keep it fun ### 5/5 — Plz lower the gift prices 🎁 *2026-07-13, version 1.47* Apparently fountain costs 8 gems, and tree of joy costs 80 gems, and I’m not that rich in gems, so can you 1/2 the price plz, I’d really appreciate it. Still love the game tho, W game. ### 5/5 — Favorite *2026-07-09, version 1.47* I love this game! I wish we were able to fully unlock the homeworld and be able to build on the snowy land ### 5/5 — Must play!!! *2026-06-25, version 1.47* I’ve had this game for yearssssss and I always find myself thinking about it and coming back. It makes me really happy when I see that the developers are still making updates and that the game is still alive. Definitely recommend this game, the graphics are gorgeous and you get so much value out of it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
