### 3/5 — Good but secret paywall

*2026-05-09, version 2.3.5*

This game is great fun and i love it but lots of things require you to “buy the complete game” which i find kinda annoying because when i looked at it on the app store,it said nothing about being just a demo

### 4/5 — Très bien

*2026-04-18*

Le jeux est super mais je trouve ça dommage qu’il soit payant

### 3/5 — Good and bad

*2026-03-14, version 2.3.5*

Has potential but only played for 10 minutes and then uninstalled. I play games for positive experiences, so when a game randomly destroys things for whatever reason, i walk away. Others may enjoy it though.

### 2/5 — Erst nett dann öde

*2026-02-01*

Ein ganz nett gemachtes Spiel im SIEDLER Prinzip. Leider nach wenigen Spielen bereits öde da im Prinzip immer das gleiche. Auch bleibt der Spaß an Erkundungen und wirklich großen Basen aus da zu viele Dinge im Spiel ein Fortkommen verhindern. Insbesondere die exponentiell steigenden Kosten für den Winter. 
Wenn das Spiel realitäsgetreuer wäre, würde ich es evt kaufen. Heutzutage scheint es INN zu sein, einen permanenten Druck und Mangel bei den Spielenden auszuüben. 
Welcher Psychologe sich das auch ausgedacht hat, gehört auf den Scheiterhaufen.

### 4/5 — My experience

*2025-10-20, version 2.3.5*

It’s a great game, with a great scenario, the Vikings themes, the graphics- it’s awesome. However some modes are a bit too hard. And newbies might not now pro tips which are REQUIRED to complete sagas. One of the pro tips is to get rid of some houses at the end of the game

### 2/5 — Le jeu plante sur mon iPad Pro 11

*2025-10-13*

Le jeu plante au même moment lors d’une exploration d une tuile. Fermeture du jeu . Que faire ?

### 2/5 — “Was” a good game

*2025-10-04, version 2.3.5*

Updates stopped 10 months ago as of 10/4/25

### 3/5 — Элиза

*2025-09-19*

Игра один в один TownsFolk) только там интерфейс понятнее

### 4/5 — Nice, but…

*2025-07-23*

The game is nicely designed and fun to play. But I find the purchase price too high, considering there are no additional mechanics and it quickly becomes repetitive.

### 4/5 — Landscape mode?

*2025-07-16, version 2.3.5*

Fun, just odd playing in portrait on the ipad.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2025-07-15, version 2.3.5*

Meh

### 2/5 — Broken Mechanics or Poor Tutorial

*2025-06-26*

The game shows I have all the hearts I need to build, and shows I’m in the right place to build, and shows I need to build, but ultimately doesn’t let me. Looks great, seems cool, doesn’t make sense.

### 3/5 — Am I playing wrong?

*2025-06-08, version 2.3.5*

Seems like a cool game but I only ever roll skulls in the winter and die immediately

### 3/5 — Good concept, bit limited

*2025-05-13, version 2.3.5*

I disagree with some of the reviews here. It is quite fun - strategising how best to survive for winter, making the best use of your landscape. It’s basically just like maximising adjacency bonuses in Civ 6. But that is sort of it, so it is a bit limited. It’s pretty one-dimensional, even with random events thrown in, but I get it’s supposed to be more of a roguelike puzzle thing, rather than expansive and replayable levels. In that respect it does limit how much I actually want to play it, hence the three stars, but it’s a good enough concept for killing some time I suppose.

### 1/5 — Winterzoll verbuggt

*2026-01-07*

Man kann den Winterzoll eigentlich beeinflussen, aber er springt IMMER auf das Maximum. Das nervt.

### 1/5 — Echt fesselnd

*2025-12-17*

Macht wirklich Spaß wenn man das Prinzip, was wo gebaut werden kann, verstanden hat.
Wird gelöscht. Immer wieder dasselbe. Alles erspielt.  Dann kann ich auch 10x die Rücktaste drücken. Verlorene Zeit.

### 1/5 — Must pay

*2025-07-30, version 2.3.5*

Why list as a f2p game when 80% of the game is locked behind a purchase

### 1/5 — I wanted to like it so bad

*2025-06-09*

The graphics, music, and game idea are all incredible.

There’s NO tutorial, it just assumes you know what you’re doing. It has complicated game play mechanics and the game never bothers to explain them.

What you get instead is a “join discord” option at the very beginning. I’m sorry, I’m not going to pay for a fuller version of the game that refuses to explain how to play and makes you join a discord community to complete the basic tutorial. Nope. I’m out.

### 1/5 — Stupid, small font! Crashes a lot!

*2025-05-25*

Impossible to read, therefore play the ridiculous small font. Another brainless developer wanna be. You phony developers design for tablets then shrink everything proportionally which makes the font to small to read. You’re such idiots or just don’t give a darn. Junk on cell phone!

A good example of Apple App junk and a worthless developer incable of making a game for a cell phone numbnuts. Deleted the sad junk.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2025-05-15, version 2.3.5*

Nothing happens in this game. Minutes reading instructions to watch the game play itself while you pretend you are doing something while listening to New Age music.

### 1/5 — Осторожно ШИРК

*2025-04-06*

Для чего в игре языческие обряды ? В топку

### 1/5 — Great game but $7.99 after one level is crazy

*2025-03-31, version 2.3.5*

The game is fun. Sort of turn based strategy game with resource elements. After one level you need to pay to play and $7.99 is crazy for a mobile game of ANY kind.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-02-19, version 2.3.5*

Once you download the game it’s stupid you have to buy the full game

### 1/5 — It’s a cool game

*2025-02-19, version 2.3.5*

But why do I have to pay to get the full game

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fun solo strategy game

*2026-04-27, version 2.3.5*

Super fun strategy game that doesn’t have pay to win features or endless ad’s. It’s a nice change of pace.
The daily and weekly challenges are a good way to test your skills at the game and a nice way to break up the main mode.
A leader board per level or a place to show your previous scores for the levels would be nice. I am competitive and want to see my own improvement.

Highly recommend. ☺️

### 5/5 — ❤️

*2026-04-14, version 2.3.5*

a lovely relaxing game! the difficulty isn’t too hard at all and the gameplay is the right mix between idle and active

### 5/5 — Chill et très sympas !

*2026-03-07*

Très bon petit jeu chill ! Stratégie pas trop complexe et simple a comprendre. 

Il manque juste un petit mode « bac à sable » ou l’on peu explorer le plus possible la carte.

### 5/5 — Great quick pull out civilization game

*2025-11-23, version 2.3.5*

This is a really excellent civilization indie game, would recommend!

### 5/5 — Увлекательно

*2025-11-13*

Что-то вроде стратегии и рогалика, можно прокачивать бонусы и развивать племена. Хороший способ убить часы времени

### 5/5 — Прошел Демон

*2025-10-11*

Игра понравилась. Оплатил 450 руб за полную версию.
Прошу исправить возможность смены ориентации - на планшете iPad 11, игра верх ногами открывается
Звезду за этот недочет не снимаю

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2025-06-23, version 2.3.5*

Love the setting, art and sounds. Can‘t relate to complaints about the game being hard and I like the winter mechanic.

### 5/5 — Echt fesselnd

*2025-06-07, version 2.3.5*

Macht wirklich Spaß wenn man das Prinzip, was wo gebaut werden kann, verstanden hat.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-05-17, version 2.3.5*

I wish there was more to do, for the price. But the game was really fun

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-05-05, version 2.3.5*

I’m really enjoying the game. Always happy to see games put up free as a demo, with a single purchase to unlock the full game. It’s reasonably priced, with no additional purchases necessary. Seems to be a bunch of extra content in the full game as well.
