However, I feel like there’s a significant lack of stuff to do once you spend 3-5 minutes catching up on harvesting. This game could be improved heavily if there was a section for selecting your favorite boy and taking care of him, or a section with well thought out mini games with small rewards to keep you occupied while your boys grow. I really love the way this game grabbed me visually, so please consider these suggestions moving forward. I think the gameplay would be improved significantly with just a few additions. ### 4/5 — bug/error *2024-12-08, version 2024.10.7* the sell coin envelope function is broken ### 3/5 — Good but Only if you're Paying *2024-05-27, version 2023.10.1* Mandrake Boys is a really simple joseimuke where you collect a bunch of various "mandrakes boys", all of which are in groups of 3 and have their own illustrations and stories. All you do is plant, wait (1min-48hr, rarer units take longer) harvest and repeat. It's really casual and it's nice to collect the various chibis and art, but if you wanna collect them all you HAVE to take out your wallet. Freebies give basically nothing so your stuck either waiting months or spending to get them at your own pace. 7/10 it's a lil old (looks like those old korean pixel games from the 2000s) and f2p unfriendly, but the art is beautiful, the stories are fun and it's still getting updates after 6 years. ### 3/5 — Bought stars but didn’t get them. Need assistance *2024-04-01, version 2023.10.1* I’ve been playing this game for 7 years. I like the casual and chill kind of game play. I’m currently experiencing a problem with purchasing stars. I bought a pack of 4000 stars($26.99) 2 days ago but didn’t get them. I tried emailing support but never got a response or the stars I purchased. I tried attempting a 400 stars($1.99) to see if I missed something and I got a window that said “Synchronized with the server to correct data mismatch. Please try again.” I tried unlinking and linking my account, redownloading all resources, deleting and redownloading the app, and even updated my phone. Still no stars. I emailed Support a few times already but nothing. Update: I finally got my stars after contacting and replying to Support. Took about over a week but glad to get them. Thank you ### 4/5 — Fun cute *2024-03-23, version 2023.10.1* The payments for stars process but I do not receive my stars. Please fix. Game itself is cute, relaxing, addicting ### 4/5 — Woman in the rain *2023-06-05, version 2022.11.1* Wonderful game. Relaxing and fun—if you’re thinking about downloading it, think no more, because it requires minimum effort and is so fun! 😁 You can get free stars from tap joy so it’s very f2p friendly! The mandrakes are cute and the illustrations are beautiful. The stories are exciting and fun. Only problem is that Facebook sign in is not working for me. The account transfer system is a bit concerning. It seems quite easy to lose your account. Highly recommend not to bind with Facebook. ### 3/5 — where’s mandrake girls? *2022-11-18, version 2022.11.1* i miss mandrake girls, please bring it back! ### 5/5 — Kuroyuri *2022-05-06, version 2022.4.4* I LOVE IT!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! PLEASE MAKE MORE AMAZING UPDATES!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — YandereSimp *2022-05-02, version 2022.4.4* I love absolutely everything about the game! The only thing I would want extra is if the developers ever included English subtitles for the voice lines. I love hearing their voices but I can't understand what they're saying. Other than that, perfect game. ### 4/5 — Fun to play *2022-04-14, version 2022.4.1* It’s fun to play and there’s a lot of mandrakes to collect. Getting resources is pretty and upgrading things are pretty slow though. ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-04-01, version 2022.3.5* I love all the characters of the game, they are really adorable❤️💕 ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2022-03-29* Thank you so much for the update ! I was so afraid to lost my account and can’t open the game but now all problems are fixes this is so nice thank you ### 5/5 — nice gem *2022-03-26, version 2022.3.4* soo cuteee ### 4/5 — The Stars *2022-03-16, version 2022.3.1* It’s fun to play but getting Stars to spend on buying more seeds is kind of a hassle most of the time. ### 3/5 — 🥲🥲🥲 *2022-03-09, version 2022.3.1* I can't access my game account due to server issues. I want the team to fix it, please. ### 4/5 — App isn’t allowing me in *2021-08-06, version 2021.7.2* So I been playing Mandrake boys for more than 1 year and now it’s saying “There was an error whole modifying the data in the device. Please check the storage space. Click Confirm to start again. When clearly I have enough space it was working fine 2 days ago please help. My version is 2021.7.2.A.R and I have 5.5 GB of space available ### 4/5 — A great game overall, requires bug fix *2021-07-04, version 1.9.9* Hello, I really love your game, it’s just super cute, and really relaxing! But I have a little bug that takes away my potions and money but doesn’t convert it to elixirs :( I really do love this game and would like to keep playing it. Thank you creating this game and updating! ❤️❤️❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — can't start the game *2020-05-19, version 1.7.6* i downloaded this game after reading that it was a slow, relaxing game, but i can't seem to connect to the servers at all every time i try to begin with signing in with a username, and i'm not really sure what to do ### 1/5 — Isn’t working. *2020-03-24, version 1.7.4* I downloaded the game and it seemed fine the title screen showed up and everything but I went to create a username and connect it to my Game Center and it won’t let me it keeps saying I have a bad internet connection which I don’t and to restart the app which I did many times so i don’t know what to do now. ### 1/5 — Too boring *2020-03-02, version 1.7.4* I tried twice with this game and honestly while it’s relaxing it’s way to boring. It’s takes forever for new boys to pop up in the countless seedlings. And all the good seeds cost stars which are pretty much only obtained through purchase. There is nothing else to do but wait for them to grow. Just not worth the time. ### 1/5 — Hate *2019-12-21, version 1.7.2* It was deleted for a short amount of time and when I downloaded it back, it never gave me my old characters or anything it’s the worst thing ever ### 1/5 — Please fix *2018-11-06, version 1.6.0* Can’t go in the app. Crashes after loading 11/11 ### 1/5 — Game can’t load *2018-08-27, version 1.6.0* After logging in for first time and loading, game stops at 11/11 and doesn’t load anymore. Restarted the game several times but due to the long download time, can’t be bothered to reinstall the game ### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Time *2018-04-05, version 1.5.5* The game recently gifted the players 500 stars (needed to make any progress) and then deleted them an hour later with no explanation other than it was a mistake on their part. That kind of sloppy attitude by developers is inexcusable where there are so many games out there. This game is a grind and any novelty wears off quickly. There is no real way to make any progress or win interesting characters without spending a lot of money. All this game offers is a few cute illustrations and weak one sentence stories to go with new mandrake characters. ### 2/5 — very long loading time *2024-05-14, version 2023.10.1* very long loading time ### 2/5 — Sale problem *2023-06-03, version 2022.11.1* Seeds that supposed to be on sale weren't actually on sale. The price is still the same. Please look into it ### 2/5 — Sam 13 *2022-08-21, version 2022.8.1* I really like this game but I am so angry I purchased the new gardener pack it said it was on sale for 4.99 but it charged my account 12.97 I am truly angry and will not ever purchase anything else ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 我超愛這個遊戲 *2025-07-27, version 2025.7.8* 我超愛這個遊戲，哪時關服玩到哪時，希望是一輩子！ 休閒不忙，放置長男孩男人，收成-散步-看故事-看香香的CG 就是這麼chill，不玩可惜！更何況是英文版！沒有看不懂的問題！看不懂就Google翻譯！ 不允許這遊戲不紅😭😭😭😭😭 太好玩啦！ ### 5/5 — Cute! *2025-05-22, version 2025.1.1* This game is pretty cute, it’s nice to just have something to check on occasionally ### 5/5 — 回鍋 *2024-11-30, version 2024.10.7* 好幾年前玩過回鍋，遊戲改的更容易玩了，很棒！只是日文配音變韓文嚇了一跳哈哈 ### 5/5 — Funny little plant game *2024-02-12, version 2023.10.1* The game isn’t very deep, but very addicting! You basically plant some seeds, leave the app, then come back in a few minuets to pick them. You can also unlock little stories between the plant boys (many of which are very cute). Simple as it is, I love it a lot. ### 5/5 — Meu código 6VPU43DZVU *2023-12-18, version 2023.10.1* Muito legal o jogo ### 5/5 — Cute and simple *2023-08-18, version 2022.11.1* Good game to play while watching anime or cartoons because it doesn’t require your full attention. ### 5/5 — this game rocks *2022-11-10, version 2022.8.1* very cool game, love it ### 5/5 — 복귀 유저인데.... *2022-10-16, version 2022.8.1* 자정 이후 리셋 돼야 하는 출석일이 그대로 입니다 이벤트도 그렇고 보물섬도 똑같아요 도롱이를 눌러서 보는 동영상도 하나를 보고 나면 다른 하나는 계속 기다리라고 떠서 나갔다가 들어와야 볼 수 있네요 예전보다 오류가 많은 느낌이에요 ### 5/5 — Love this game but has issues *2022-07-15, version 2022.5.2* I currently can’t sell the coin or star packs and I don’t know why ### 5/5 — 너무 좋아용 ㅎㅎ *2022-05-13, version 2022.4.4* 잼납니다~~ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
