Pour l'instant, nous tournons vite en rond. Venir sur le jeu pour simplement valider les tâches n'est pas très divertissant. L’application devrait tourner en arrière-plan pour poursuivre les améliorations. ### 5/5 — F2P for milestones, or buy to make a few bucks a day *2024-08-03* You have to max it out to really get some money and it will depend on the tier you buy. Tiers 1-5. Summary: The purpose of this game is to make fuel for the main game. The main game is like catching Pokémon but you own what you catch and can sell it if you wish. More details (TLDR): It’s basically as if 8/2/2024 still in the beta but fully functional. You build land to provide fuel for the main games. There is Illuvium arena, and Illuvium Over World. You catch iluvials like Pokémon. Then fight and leveling them up or sell them on the market. Find out more on thier discard and you can play all 3 games on epic games for free. You can then sell items you find to pay for higher tiers if you like and grind your way up to higher stages. More on this land game: The land builds 3 fuels for the over world game. Crypton - travel to worlds. Hyperion- make shards to catch illivials Solon- used to make armor All sold on the crypto markets for eth. Talks of more ways are happening but can’t speak in that to much yet. It’s basically a sim city, you build and wait for sources to build up to level up your town hall to get better ways to get more of the fuel above to sell. There are also talks of gyms to rent out that trains illuvals and other aspects all found in thier discord. Summary of Illuvium main and this Zero game: I love the idea of digital ownership, and each sell not only benefits you illuviums gets 3% and IMX the exchange service takes 2%. It’s a win win for just have fun and no obligation to spend money if you do not want. My only negative but hopeful: That’s said, this is crypto and it’s still not streamed lined in a super easy way to work with, but they are on track to make it way easier. Illuvium has come a long way since 2020 and I am proud of those leadership and development of this new economic ecosystem. ### 5/5 — more languages *2024-08-02, version 1.0.4* I wish the game had a lot more speaking and in German I think that's fine. For beginners, I would recommend creating a tutorial to explain what you need to do. I want it on PC and on mobile. It's really not hard to get it in multiple languages ​​because there is AI ### 5/5 — FIVE STARS FOR THE GOOD GUYS!!! *2024-08-02* Solid Gameplay! Awesome Job! Kudos to the developers!! I can see the improvements with every patch. I haven’t played overworld yet, but zero is super fun! ### 5/5 — Chill resource creation game *2024-08-02, version 1.0.2* Hoping to see this game develop even more. Been watching Illuvium for awhile and seeing how they grow is amazing. Shout to Dollar Cost Crypto and Cultivate Crypto! Thank you Kieran. ### 5/5 — Illuvium ecosystem is revolutionary *2024-08-01, version 1.0.2* Love that they made a mobile version. The overworld is so addicting. Arena is a real chess match. Can’t wait for overworld multiplayer and battle royale ### 5/5 — Great game for busy people *2024-08-01, version 1.0.2* I love world building and this game lets me build my own city it doesn’t take too much of my time throughout my day to maintain I think it’s awesome that the resources my city produces can be sold to other players for the other illuvium games I can’t wait to see how this ecosystem develops ### 5/5 — Enjoyed the game *2024-08-01, version 1.0.2* Excited one of the many games by Illuvium is finally out. It has been an entertaining game to play ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2024-08-01, version 1.0.2* I have been enjoying my time playing Zero! Level 45 and counting!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A Game of Chores *2026-07-16, version 1.8.9* Year happened to this game? It’s so boring, there’s no fun element to any of it, it’s just a set of chores every single day. How it has 5 star ratings is beyond me. Great idea, well marketed, but the gameplay kinda sucks. They said it’s kinda like WoW. It’s nothing like WoW. I prefer WoW. ### 1/5 — Legal Scam *2025-07-11, version 1.7.0* After spending $30,000 on land when it first launched, which included a MegaCity, it’s now worth 90% less, just to barely make .50 cents a day! ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-07-04, version 1.7.0* This “game” is nothing more than a rug pull scam created by the Warwick brothers. ### 1/5 — Well put together grift *2025-05-20, version 1.6.0* Used to play the illuvium games a lot in beta and some after. Overworld was my fav. After all this time there still isn’t major updates/upgrades to any of the games that make it worth spending money to get eth to even play. ### 1/5 — Must sign in to play *2024-11-16, version 1.1.4* Must sign in just to play, not to just cash out? Sign in server down, so deleted game. Needs apple or gamecenter sign in. ### 1/5 — Loved the game until my city became “free to play” *2024-09-18, version 1.1.1* As the title says, loved the simplicity of the game; doesn’t take long to manage, however even after I spent like $20 to hire another builder, my city pops up with a banner every time I log in saying I’m free to play and can’t sell transfer or do anything of value. Felt cheated and uninstalled ### 1/5 — What are you guys even doing at this point? *2024-09-12, version 1.1.1* Impossible to run the main game on a PC if you want to use the PC for literally anything else ever, so, I decided to give the mobile “farming sim” spinoff a try since it’s the only thing I can reasonably access. Great idea, couldn’t possibly be more poorly executed. Pretty much every choice they made here was the wrong one. Probably could have suffered through most of it but they committed one completely unforgivable sin…. It gives you a free to play lot by default & there is no option to access a paid lot (at least on mobile) AT ALL. Yes, you read that correctly. That means that none of the rewards you earn can be transferred to the main game or cashed out, because you are farming them from a free lot. So, it’s just a regular farming sim…but terrible. I have no idea what you guys were thinking with this one but if this is your version of a good idea, start going with the bad ones. This is embarrassing. ### 1/5 — Brutal *2024-09-11, version 1.1.0* This “game” is so boring. I really wanted to like this but it seems like a psychological experiment. I feel like I’m a lab rat. What’s the payoff? Horrible. ### 1/5 — Does not start *2024-09-07, version 1.0.4* iPhone 13 no startup ### 1/5 — No point to play it if you do not own a land *2024-08-09, version 1.0.4* There is no achievements for users using free lands,there are only few daily and weekly missions to be done and that’s it,they changed the main flyer and description after last patch,I spent hundreds of hours building my land and didn’t do it for missions but assumed we will be able to use the fuel producing for our own accounts travels and crafts, I participated on test net Zero,Overworld and Arena,the game was so promising and it’s really sad to watch it dying on lunch,Token price is down to the lowest and many investors lost assets who trusted to the project and staked tokens for a long period due to the bad decisions made by developers and not governance. I recommend letting free land users use their self produced fuel and blueprints so they can participate in all aspects of the ecosystem. By the way I do own 2 Tier 2 and 1 Tier 3 land and rank below 300 at the moment,I might be able to pay gas and afford traveling multiple times to Tier 3 maps but not possible for many Illuvium fans to pay hundreds of dollars for Gas every day since there is not even %5 return on nerfed loot and that annoying market place(sold items still listed and many traders sniping good deals and taking advantage of the bugs not showing real lowest value) that is so hard to get even best items moved on,It would kill the game even faster if you expect every one who doesn’t have a lot of money to burn to be happy exploring on Tier 0 maps. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-09-16, version 1.8.2* This game is on pc and mobile so I can play it on the go and it’s fun building up the lands ### 5/5 — Quite fun to pass the time *2025-07-02, version 1.7.0* It’s still quite early, but new features are coming out regularly which is making the game quite a fun way to pass some time. I have actually earnt some nice $ from just playing something entertaining so that is quite cool! Looking forward to the devs building out this game more and adding more features. ### 5/5 — Mind engaging game *2025-05-31* Man I didn’t think I would like this game and now I can’t stop playing it lol ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-02-14, version 1.3.3* Love it! ### 5/5 — Review *2024-11-13, version 1.1.4* Huge potential ### 5/5 — Unique concept *2024-10-31, version 1.1.4* Very unique when played with land ownership ### 5/5 — amazing *2024-09-13, version 1.1.1* amazing game amazing sound fun to make your city as efficient and effective as possible ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-09-03* Awesome land builder!! ### 5/5 — Really Fun *2024-08-23, version 1.0.4* I started playing this during my cardio sessions at the gym and it makes 45 minutes go by super quick! ### 5/5 — FIVE STARS FOR THE GOOD GUYS!!! *2024-08-13, version 1.0.4* Solid Gameplay! Awesome Job! Kudos to the developers!! I can see the improvements with every patch. I haven’t played overworld yet, but zero is super fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
