### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel

*2024-10-30, version 2.6.3*

Super Spiel, schön gezeichnete Grafiken. Macht weiter so.

### 5/5 — good game

*2024-05-13*

nice game to play when free, would like to support but in-app purchase is lack of things to buy, need to add more things like weekly/monthly pass that give some ingame currency

### 5/5 — Sehr schönes und liebevoll gemachtes Spiel

*2023-03-10, version 2.5.1*

Ein sehr schönes Spiel mit einer netten Community. Und ohne versteckte Kosten. Wer möchte, kann durch die Zahlung eines Obolus komplett auf Werbung verzichten, hat dann aber auch im Spiel noch einige Vorteile. 
Ich kann das Spiel nur empfehlen!

### 5/5 — Heroes and merchants

*2022-08-29*

Hi my friend I’m tom. I just installed your game. the game looks awesome. I like graphics a lot. Thanks for the great gift for registration. Congratulations my friend it a hidden gem 💎

### 5/5 — Perfekter Support, Durchdachte Spielphilosophie, freundliche Community

*2022-06-03, version 2.4.6*

Ein Spiel für alle, die gemütlich basteln, langfristig strategisch planen und sich entwickeln wollen, und dabei wert auf eine freundliche, hilfsbereite Community und direkten, schnellen Support legen. Kein Pay to win, der Supporterstatus gibt einen ausschließlich Komfortfunktionen - man kommt absolut ohne diese aus. Sie ist als Spende mit Dankeschön gedacht. Alternativ ist diese durch Werbung selber aktivierbar und ist nicht notwendig für den Erfolg. Keine Werbebanner. Jeder kann sein eigenes Spieltempo bestimmen. Kurz täglich vorbeischauen oder stundenlanges daddeln ohne stundenlanges Warten wie in anderen Spielen. Kurze (wenige Minuten) Wartezeiten können durch Dungeonabenteuer und sinnig belohnten Spielen überbrückt werden. Kommunikative und stille Spielerinnen sind in den Gilden willkommen, kein Zwang oder Notwendigkeit für aktives Gildenleben. In zehn Monaten habe ich keine (!) Beleidigung oder unangemessenes Verhalten im Chat erlebt. Das Spiel ist nativ in deutsch (nicht wie angegeben nur in englisch), unterstützt zudem viele andere Sprachen. Die Community wird aktiv in die Spielentwicklung mit einbezogen. Liebevolle handgemalte Grafiken, keine nervigen sinnlosen Animationen, erfüllbare abwechslungsreiche Events, die man strategisch angehen kann - aber nicht muss - sowie ein unkompliziertes Spielprinzip, das trotzdem unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen ermöglicht. Das sind für mich die Gründe, das es mein Lieblingsspiel ist. Man sollte zumindest ein Telefon mit großen Bildschirm haben, sonst ist es ein wenig schwierig, aber durchaus möglich, die Knöpfe zu treffen. Ideal ist ein Ipad.

### 5/5 — Genial

### 4/5 — Hidden Gem

*2020-10-29*

Found this little hidden Gem by accident. It’s rare to find a game that doesn’t make you pay to play. It’s a slow game where you don’t have to play every minute of the day. 
It’s a little bit of a grind but still enjoyable. 
Give it a go.
