### 4/5 — Great game but..

*2026-07-28*

Great game but keeps on crashing mostly on large maps. I hope they fix it since it becomes a bit annoying.

### 2/5 — Autoplay

*2026-06-24*

Idle civ

### 3/5 — Bugged

*2026-05-29, version 2.9.7*

I really enjoy this game. But it won’t load anymore. It gets stuck at 87% loading on the loading screen. Crashes a lot when it does work. Sometimes crashes 2-3 times in one match.

### 3/5 — Не запускается и зависает

*2026-01-29*

Игра супер, но сделайте какую-то оптимизацию. Часто в игру просто не зайти. А когда это сделать удается периодически весь телефон зависает..

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2026-01-28, version 2.9.5*

Fun for a little while. Then started freezing my entire phone.  Couldn’t cycle through apps. Had to shut down. Doesn’t feel safe

### 3/5 — ??

*2025-12-04, version 2.8.5*

Whenever I open the app it gives me this error: CMP ERROR 3:BAD URL would somebody help me?

### 3/5 — Nicht schlecht, aber auch nicht übermäßig gut

*2025-11-25*

Im Prinzip, wie Polytopia, nur mit pay2win Optionen. Bei Polytopia kann man zusätzlichen Content freischalten (neue Stämme), hier kann man im Prinzip alles kaufen. Der Spielbildschirm ist etwas überladen, überall ist ein roter Punkt dran ("hier könntest du was kaufen! Kostet nur 99ct! Aber nur heute!").
Insgesamt ist das nicht schlecht, aber an e8nigen Stellen vermisse ich Informationen.
Und - wenn man andere Sprachwn unterstützt, sollten keine Passagen in Englisch auftauchen. Etwa 20% des contents sind auf Englisch, obwohl Deutsch eingestellt ist.

### 4/5 — Decent

*2025-11-21, version 2.8.5*

Hyper casual sorta shallow but good for beginners version of civ, can't complain. Once u master this & get bored try "domination dynasty"

### 4/5 — Be more like Civ

*2025-11-17, version 2.8.5*

Too many tedious levels, AI is OP, and backstabbing is annoying

### 3/5 — It needs work

*2025-11-11*

I had a a lot of fun with this game really like that there is a lot of heroes and units to upgrade and armies. The biggest issue as most have stated is the AI and power spikes. The AI goes from being a 2 year old to a veteran chess player. It feels almost entirely unbeatable to the point I dropped the game. Even when I was doing amazing the AI seemed to just have an infinite supply of resources and units. Not to mention that there is most definitely some balancing issues. Zombies should not be as strong as they are. No hate for the game as it’s very fun and enjoyable but you get to a point where you plateau and everything after that point feels awful to play.

### 2/5 — Clone

*2025-10-27, version 2.8.5*

do yourself a favor and play polytopia, same game better UI no pay to play

### 1/5 — Totally unbalanced

*2025-08-22*

I have played around 24 Hours and I’m stuck at World 4-5. Only reason I got this far is because I got lucky with chest(got blue Cavalry, Warrior and Archer). In the beginning it was Fair Game cause the Enemy didn’t have that much of a headstart, but currently it looks like that the KI starts with either so much Coins that they can just research everything or have already researched everything at the start. Gameplay right now is a lot of restarting hoping to get a PERFECT starting position and a PERFECT random research. And even then you might loose cause the KI just steamrolls you in 20 turns.

Fazit

Negativ: 
The Game right now feels and looks a lot like pay to progress. If you want to pay 30€ for the next 2 years every Month you can try the game

Positiv: 
Wide variety of troops and Hero’s. Procedural maps which gives a lot of replayability.

+++++++NO FORCED ADS+++++++++

Edit: Give the player the option to choose the first upgrade when you see the map. Because even with a PERFECT start you just can’t keep up with the enemy

CHANGE THE BACKSTAB SO ITS ONLY POSSIBLE IF YOU ARE DIRECTLY BEHIND THE UNIT

### 2/5 — Ads

*2025-08-21*

Would be nice if you could do a one time payment to get rid of the ads

### 4/5 — Bug?

*2025-08-08, version 2.7.2*

I can’t launch the app.  Bug?

### 2/5 — Would be ok if it wasnt for the ads. Totally not worth playing

*2025-07-03, version 2.7.2*

Too many ads!

### 1/5 — Consistently crashes

*2026-07-24, version 2.9.7*

Surely I’m not the only one experiencing this game crashing over and over and over. What gives? Otherwise it’s a pretty fun quick play game.

### 1/5 — Broken add system

*2026-06-20*

The ad system in this game that they force upon you is completely broken. Fair enough they need to make revenue but you can’t have an ad playing that won’t end after you watch it. In order to keep playing the game you have to shut it down by swiping and then restart it to get out of the ad screen. Uninstalled this horribly broken game

### 1/5 — Standard nickel and dime or grind game with ads

*2026-06-02, version 2.9.7*

No real strategy, just follow along, watch ads, and pay for power ups when you can't get past a level.

### 1/5 — Typisches Ad-Spam Mobile Game

*2026-05-02*

Auf eine Minute im Upgrade-Menü kommen fünf Minuten Werbung und pro 3 Minuten spielen kommt eine Minute Werbung.

Werbung kann man dabei für absolut alles zahlen oder man greift direkt zum Geldbeutel.

Schade eigentlich denn dass zugrunde liegende Spiel ist eigentlich recht kurzweilig und hat durchaus seinen Charme.

### 1/5 — Nicht so gut

*2025-12-25*

Überladener Spielbildschirm. Pay2win. Gibt bessere Alternativen.

### 1/5 — Bad company - ommgame

*2025-12-21, version 2.8.5*

Loved this game, spent money.  Game play broke and it took them time to fix it.  They made no attempt to compensate those whose money was taken.  They responded to no messages. Bad companies ruin good games.

### 1/5 — Bad tutorial

*2025-11-27, version 2.8.5*

Apps these days have forgotten the art of video games… if you can’t figure out how to play a game intuitively/by trial and error, with minimal instructions, the interface is no good. Forcing the user to endure a long, boring, slow tutorial with lots of reading is bad design.

### 1/5 — Не загружает

*2025-10-17*

Который день уже не грузит, доходит до 23% и останавливается

### 1/5 — True

*2025-10-08, version 2.8.5*

Even in standard mode they attack you!

### 1/5 — Horrível

*2025-09-05*

Não dá pra jogar, excesso de anúncios

### 5/5 — Нравится

*2026-05-29*

Хорошая игра, интересная. Залип на долго.
Хотелось бы больше механик.
Недавна игра начала часто зависать на айфон 16. Пожалуйста обновите игру

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра

*2026-05-27*

Довольно интересный геймплей, который кажется легким в освоении, но порой приходится серьёзно подумать над своими шагами. 

Хотелось бы узнать, планируется развитие игры?

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-05-07, version 2.9.7*

Interesting game, gameplay can be a bit long but a really good tb strat game for the phone

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-03-18, version 2.9.7*

Was iffy at first but pretty fun

### 5/5 — One of the best games I have played in a while

*2025-06-10*

I generally don’t keep games for more than a month but I love civilization games and love the different play styles. If you are looking for a cob style game that you don’t have to play a lot of time per round and still at your own pace, I highly recommend this game!

### 5/5 — Fun tile game

*2025-02-13, version 2.2.5*

Fun graphics. Like a version of civilization but for younger players.

### 5/5 — Used to be good

*2025-02-09*

I played this game for months it was great. There was an occasional difficulty spike but after upgrading troops it went back to fun. After a break I come back to better more units and changes in the game. Ok cool they are updating it still that’s good but now I can’t even beat the gold rush mission dead by turn 10 because somehow the AI has enough money to not only research everything but make all the units and has 5 hero units and 4 cavalry plus an unlimited supply of archers and I can do nothing. Not to mention the other 2 AI that has the same thing. The moment I encounter another civ it’s not a matter of if I am going to lose but a matter of how I’m going to lose. If I do some how magically beat back an ai here comes the next to attack from the other side

### 5/5 — Good game

*2024-11-13, version 2.1.0*

The game is honestly the best one I have ever played. The graphics are pretty good but not yet perfect. But playing the game feels like a experience. Recqmmenad gane

### 5/5 — Resetovani hry

*2024-11-13, version 2.1.0*

Dobrý den , nevíte někdo jak mužů hru hrat od začátku ,  smazat pokrok , či přidat další účet . Dekuji za pomoc

### 5/5 — But issue on linking on discord

*2024-11-09, version 2.1.0*
