### 2/5 — Fun but not

*2026-02-04, version 11.4.1*

Ideabox steals your ideas. You give the idea. They vote it down and repost it to pass the vote. Someone else gets credit. Never gave more ideas after this. The game is minimally controllable. Not very fun.

### 2/5 — Great game but I hate duels that are based on luck and pay to win with god remote.

*2026-01-02, version 11.4.1*

This game is amazing but sadly I feel duels are the only thing in this game that makes it lose so much love spending an hour in a duel to lose because someone is willing to pay is never a good feature.

### 2/5 — why it

*2024-07-13, version 10.8.2*

doesn't work

### 4/5 — Simple and humorous game that requires no energy

*2024-05-17, version 10.8.1*

My hero is a year old by now. Left him mostly alone and he’s making good progress. The humor in the text is on point and the wiki is full of a lot of fun stuff

### 4/5 — Pretty decent!

*2024-02-29, version 10.7.3*

I think this game is pretty neat, you can play the game without actually playing it and vice versa, although hopefully within future updates they’ll add more funny random events that happen during your heroes travels. I love it

### 4/5 — Oh how long

*2023-12-09, version 10.7.3*

Iv let this run or redownload it I can’t remember how many times but every time it finds my hero and gives me all the juicy details of there passed bloody great game

### 5/5 — 3gs때부더 해온 게임.

*2023-12-03*

요즘 방치형 IDLE 게임들이 대세인데, 10년 전부터 높은 완성도로 운영해온 게임이 갓빌이죠.

특히 게임을 접은 계정의 캐릭들도 계속 세계를 여행하고 있기 때문에 안정적인 셰계가 구축되어 있습니다.

믿고! 시작해보세요. 아니다 싶으면 잊고 있다 한달 쯤 뒤에 접해보셔도 됩니다.

### 4/5 — Accessibility

*2023-10-17*

Your game is about 75% accessible for the visually impaired using voiceover. I have found some workarounds to make your game a bit more accessible but, it has taken me three years to do so. Looking at the new update for the mini remote using commands and the microphone, some visually impaired persons might not understand what the new function is. I recommend that you do a video using voiceover to show the new function this way everyone can understand. Thank you for giving a crap and taking our ideas seriously.

### 3/5 — Cant make account

*2023-10-11, version 10.7.1*

Been trying to make an account since yesterday and it’s telling me every name is taken… including names like Aksbsksu8727. I just don’t think that’s possible. Please help

### 4/5 — Great game

*2023-10-02, version 10.7.1*

The game that can play itself unless you want to be active and enjoy the fun.  12 years of playing and letting it play itself.  They do need to unlock or show achievements so you have something to try to get.  Come join the game. Get a temple, build and ark.  Make long time friends :)

### 5/5 — awesome game

*2023-09-16*

now i know why it is 12 yrs old game and still good.

### 4/5 — Please fix this

*2023-07-21, version 10.6.1*

It looked cool, I downloaded it, whenever I click “Registration” it shows me a blank screen. I restarted the app and my phone multiple times and it didn’t work. I look forward to playing.

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAME

*2023-07-14, version 10.6.1*

LOVE IT. TOTALLY RECOMMEND.

Go with your goddess! Team TEEJ. 

❤️❤️❤️😍🥰💕💕

### 5/5 — A peculiar premise, but it works

*2023-07-05, version 10.6.1*

Godville is a game you don't play. Well, not in the conventional sense. You play the role of a personal diety to an adventuring hero. Your control over the hero is limited in that they act fairly autonomously. There's no intense grinding, the hero does that. But there is definitely scope to influence what happens, and occasionally, that influence is decisive. 
Despite the lack of direct control, there's plenty to keep you entertained. The game is built around humour & wordplay, with puns figuring prominently. There's considerable complexity in the hero's development & the gameplay process. There are social elements that become available as your hero advances. Its definitely a peculiar premise for a game and for me, its been enjoyable & entertaining.

### 5/5 — An comedic endurance game

*2023-07-03, version 10.6.1*

The only reason I downloaded this game was a) I was bored out of my mind and b) there were good reviews. I’ll write my own now. Godville is a majorly hands-off god simulator where you passively watch your hero journey around this fairytale world. You have the occasional responsibility to heal or punish your hero and this is done so you can usher him/her in the right (or your) direction. I know, it sounds alright now but why would you waste your time on it when you could be playing Clash Royale? The selling point for me comes with its quips and witty descriptions that never seem to fail to make me chuckle, or even outright laugh for a second. 
I’ve been with my hero for 7 days now and I am yet to miss one. It’s nice to sit back and just watch the journey of your hero unravel and I hope, and sort of expect, you guys to feel the same. 9.5/10 because it’s just great. No other words for it.

### 4/5 — Love this game...

*2023-06-14, version 10.5*

Lately I've been checking in to see what my heroine is up to, she's over 8 years old, and she's just dead but in a city. Seriously, at least once a day she's at 0 hp I guess just on the ground in a city where she'd normally rest up and heal? Hope something can be done about this, seems weird that she would suddenly become too weak to survive city life when she's been fighting monsters for nearly a decade.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-05-05, version 10.5*

Best game ever in history

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Well, it’s a text rpg in that you can do barely nothing

*2024-10-15, version 10.8.3*

Boring aah thing

### 1/5 — Jesus Christ is the only True God 🙏🏽❤️‍🔥

*2024-05-01, version 10.8.1*

🙏🏽❤️‍🔥

### 1/5 — Do not play

*2023-04-27, version 10.5*

Do not download, it’s not working

### 1/5 — Login needed?

*2022-10-24, version 10.3*

The last thing I want to do is give my personal info to another random app. More junk mail, more scam calls, more thieves trying to take my identity. Let me play as a guest, if I like the game, I’ll give my burner email.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2022-08-31, version 10.2*

Fun for a few minutes but ultimately super boring, repetitive, and unfair

### 1/5 — Really don’t see any point

*2022-08-16, version 10.1.1*

Decided to try it after all the good reviews. But there’s nothing interesting or fun about having this app. Uninstalled.

### 1/5 — баг

*2022-06-12, version 10.0.2*

не даёт сменить язык на русский

### 1/5 — Arena Fights

*2022-04-06, version 10.0.2*

At the start of the arena fight I just entered, i only had two influences. But my opponent used over 6 when i hadn’t used any and they weren’t supposed to be able to influence their hero until I did mine. But then when i ran out of influences they were still able to influence theirs and i couldn’t and I lost. It really isn’t fair, the arena fights are supposed to be fair.

### 1/5 — Nope!

*2022-02-11, version 10.0.1*

Not A Deity Kind Of Person!

### 1/5 — Boring game

*2021-11-02, version 9.9.4*

I’ve had the game installed for three days. I can only do two things. Neither are entertaining after using them for third time. I’m not sure what game everyone else is playing. But I gave the game till lvl 7 before I gave up due to nothing new to do.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very Addictive

*2026-07-06, version 11.6.4*

Great fun and so funny even after playing for 14 years

### 5/5 — Good fun

*2026-05-11, version 11.5.1*

It is comical satire. Great daily read and catch up whilst commuting

### 5/5 — The ultimate virtual pet

*2026-05-11, version 11.5.1*

My hero keeps me amused.  I don't have to feed him.  I occasionally give him praise and once in a while resurrect him.  But for that small amount of work I usually am treated to a good laugh every day.  I really enjoy the game's twisted and sometimes subtle humor.

### 5/5 — Best thing ever

*2026-05-07, version 11.5.1*

Literally the best game I’ve ever played, my life is fulfilled now.

### 5/5 — The game I keep coming back to.

*2026-01-02, version 11.4.1*

14 years and I still keep playing this game. Very much a community based game. Love that I can enjoy it without getting addicted.

### 5/5 — Thank

*2025-03-10, version 11.0.1*

Thank

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2024-07-22, version 10.8.2*

Personally I love this game. I love that I am basically just watching someone’s life unfold. I love that I don’t even have to spend time playing this game to advance, I love my heroines witty comments and that she has her own ideas and can say no to me. 

She’s infuriating sometimes especially when I take my eyes off her and she dies like a little idiot but I still love her. I love the amount of time the creators put into this game, all of the articles that I can read when i’m trying to figure out what happened. It’s a beautiful game. 

Though I do understand it isn’t for everyone. I tried to show this game to a friend of mine and they said why would I waste my storage on something I can’t play. Completely understandable but I think there’s beauty in a story and this one gives me a lot of good laughs.

### 5/5 — Super creative!

*2024-06-26, version 10.8.2*

Although I’m not sure what to make of this yet (I just started), I love some of the things they’ve incorporated in the game: the newspaper and their own Wiki! I love that aspect of it. I haven’t seen that in any other game. It’d be cool to log into a game and instead of big boxes of events, you’d have a newspaper just like here. “Player so and so is…and player so and so…”. Plus a bunch of other stuff you’d expect to find in a newspaper. Then they have their own branded Wiki. I think that’s great! Why read a boring “How To” guide when you have a cool looking branded Wiki to search. Very creative game!

### 5/5 — Keeps me laughing, since my wife died.

*2024-06-09, version 10.8.1*

I have always loved this game, even when my wife Michelle was alive!

As she was ill in the ICU, Godville kept me laughing and kept me from being too stressed and going insane. She has passed on, but the game still keeps me laughing to this day. and always will! Thank you for Godville!

### 5/5 — Tomogochi

*2024-01-02, version 10.7.3*

It reminds me of when I used to carry a tomogochi around in my pocket. Just check in 1once or twice a day and heal the champ, if you don’t make it in time you don’t have to start over just rez him, my hero is a moron, but he’s walking thru everything thrown at him. Unless he walks into it.
