They cover part of the roads and destinations as play proceeds. Wish I could turn them off. I know what I’m picking up & don’t need the info every single time. ### 2/5 — Good fun *2023-11-30, version 1.2.0* Good fun but won’t load properly after level 20. Very annoyed. I’d try and get a refund but support is rubbish. ### 2/5 — Constantly crashes *2022-06-06, version 1.2.0* The game constantly crashes before I can play a level. I select the level I want and watch an advert in order to access it and nearly every time the game crashes at the end of the advert. I used to be able to get in to the level on the second or third try (i.e after watching the ad 2 or 3 times) but I have given up completely now as I’ve tried 6 times to access level 16 with no luck. I usually purchase the ad free version of games but decided not to based on the reviews about crashes etc and am v glad I didn’t pay for this! ### 2/5 — Level 14 *2022-03-19, version 1.2.0* It appears to be impossible to complete this level and to progress as there is no means of getting enough gold ?! Please advise - thank you ### 4/5 — 縦型の広告 *2021-10-28, version 1.2.0* 画面が縦型で固定されている広告の時、見終わった後に広告を閉じようとすると必ず落ちる。 ### 4/5 — What. *2021-07-18, version 1.2.0* I love this game but very confused which just happened. I am missing 3 stars I have 147 out of 150 but can’t figure out how to get the last three. I paid for the upgrade 599 to get more levels and nothing happened. Totally bummed last six bucks and can’t play any more levels ### 3/5 — Level 34 bleibt ständig hängen *2021-06-30* Das Spiel ist ein netter Zeit vertreib. Habe es gekauft. Leider ist bei Level 34 Schluß. Hängt sich ständig auf. Ärgert mich. ### 2/5 — Loved it...at first *2020-06-25, version 1.2.0* Level 15 i maxed out on all supplies and I still needed 5 more food and gold. How are you expected to pass the level when you can’t hold more supplies but you need more? I took screenshots for reference if you need to see it. Extremely frustrating ### 3/5 — Can’t see how to repair the towers on level 21 *2020-06-08, version 1.2.0* I’ve tried tapping and waiting for more resources but nothing happens what else should be done? ### 4/5 — Won’t open and can’t get help to fix.** FIXED 😀 *2020-04-29, version 1.2.0* I only paid for this a week ago, got to level 19 and now it won’t open, tried power off, uninstalling and reinstalling, making sure I’ve got the most up to date IOS but nope nothing working, I was really enjoying it before that though. Update- Happy to see a developer that actually reads reviews and acts on them. I lost my progress and start again, but can’t you have everything. ### 2/5 — Paying Twice *2019-10-01, version 1.2.0* I really enjoy these games and the roads of Rome games. I hadn’t played them in a while and recently downloaded them again. I cannot restore any of my purchases and I have been charged again for the full game even though I already brought the game previously. It seems that you update them and then release them as new apps. The versions that I paid for where not updated and are unavailable to download from purchases. I would happily give these apps five stars if I had not had to pay for them again. ### 2/5 — Can’t get to Bonus Levels *2019-08-12, version 1.2.0* I like the game and it worked ok until I got to Bonus Level 5. I completed game with 3-stars on every level which was 147 stars. This is the number required to unlock Bonus 5. I then completed Bonus 5 again with 3 stars which should have given me 150 stars, the number required to unlock the remaining levels (46-50). But instead my star tally is stuck at 147 and I can’t play any more levels. Really frustrating, and not sure what to do! ### 3/5 — Bugs *2018-12-23, version 1.1.1* I have a new IPad but this game has a problem with the characters freezing in a green fog. I had been really enjoying the game up until this started in level 34 ### 4/5 — Livello 49 *2018-12-02, version 1.1.1* Scusate come si fa a proseguire dopo il livello45’io non riesco a trovare i successivi... Grazie A. ### 3/5 — BUG *2018-11-30, version 1.1.1* Niveau 14, bloquée alors que j’ai toutes les ressources ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not Worth It *2026-03-26, version 1.2.0* I paid for this app and can’t even access all of it. One element is supposedly found in level 47, but the game ends with level 45. I messaged App Support and got a reply after a long duration that the person working on my claim is very busy and working on other claims, but would get to me as soon as they could. That was three weeks ago. If you can’t access the full game after paying for it and get no support, it is not worth it. ### 1/5 — They Cheat you. Don't pay them. *2024-07-10, version 1.2.0* Completed 45 levels with 3 stars = 135. Completed 5 bonus levels with 3 stars = 15. So 150 stars but it never goes past 147. Which means they cheat you out of any extras you are supposed to get for paying them. They told some guy 4 YEARS AGO they were going to fix this very thing since he had the same problem. (Look him up. His was a 2 star review) That's how honest they are. ### 1/5 — Bin sehr verärgert ! *2023-01-16* Habe das Spiel gekauft! Doch in Level 14 braucht man mehr Gold, als zur Verfügung steht. Habe das Level mehrmals gespielt, finde aber keine Lösung. Was ist da los? Kann mir einer helfen? Ansonsten möchte ich gerne mein Geld zurück. Kann ja auch sein, das der Fehler bei mir liegt! ### 1/5 — No iPhone X/XS Optimisation *2019-06-16, version 1.2.0* Not only does black bars appear on the sides, but also at the base of the screen. I simply won’t pay for an app that isn’t optimised to fit the screen properly. ### 1/5 — Bloqué niveau 34 *2018-11-10, version 1.1.1* Super jeu mais je suis bloquée au niveau 34.mes 3 vikings sont bloqués par un sort (goûté verdâtre) et il est impossible de les guérir alors que la tente du druide est construite. J’ai refait le jeu plusieurs fois, parfois un seul de mes viking est bloqué mais l’action qu’il devait faire ne peut pas être faite par un autre et je reste bloquée avec un obstacle sur le chemin. C’est déprimant. J’ai payé le jeu et ça s’arrête là GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ### 1/5 — Avatar still stuck at level 34 *2018-11-05, version 1.1.1* 17 th June Yes I upgraded, started the game till level 34, it played longer but stuck again about half trough the game. Then I uninstalled the upgraded game, reinstalled it and played again till level 34 with the same results. Thanks 9 June, I uninstalled then reinstalled after upgrade. Was able to play further into level 34 but the Avatar still fails. It used to stall after only a few moves. Now it stops well into the game. Consistent fail after 4 attempts playing level34. I hope it can be fixed. Thanks..... Bad glitch at level 34. Avatar freezes and unable to finish level, I contacted the developer and was told it would be fixed. After weeks still nothing, it is a shame that such a good games can only be played for 1/3 of the levels since one can not continue past level 34. October 12,2018 Hi again. The Avatar still gets stuck at level34. I have updated to version IOS 12 uninstalled the game, then reinstalled and played back to level 34. Unfortunately the Avatar suddenly starts glowing again and freezes. The game stalled and I am unable to continue past level 34. I hope you can fix it .....Thank you, but now you are giving me the run.a.round. Your support has answered and giving me instructions and asked for more info. I have responded to every request. This has gone on for over a year. You have a problem with your app. I be happy to help you fix it and have given you all the info you asked for. If you like me to contact another department please give me the contact. ### 1/5 — No Family Sharing *2018-01-28, version 1.0.9* It’s always about the money... by selling a game as an in-app purchase, it stops people from sharing with their families. I’m disgusted. It’s a great game, but the developers are greedy. ### 1/5 — Gros bug au niveau 14 *2017-10-20, version 1.0.9* Je ne peux pas finir le niveau 14 car aussi bien la nourriture que les matériaux et argent sont bloqués à une certaine quantité et on n’a pas assez d’argent pour pouvoir terminer. SVP corrigez rapidement cela car j’ai payé bien sûr pour jouer. ### 1/5 — Gros bug et impossibilité de jouer au delà du niveau 5 *2017-10-19, version 1.0.9* Pas de soucis pour télécharger et jouer durant la phase gratuite. Mais lorsqu’on a payé pour accéder au jeu complet, un bug empêche d’accéder au jeu tout simplement ! Un vrai scandale ! Après la mise à jour, on peut enfin accéder à la suite du jeu mais à partir du niveau 11 de nombreux bugs ferment l’appli en plein niveau...il faut rouvrir l’appli et recommencer le niveau. Vraiment rageant. C’est dommage de mettre sur le marché un jeu avec de si nombreux problèmes. Visiblement il n’a pas été testé correctement. La mise à jour du 18 octobre permet de jouer jusqu’au niveau 30 puis un nouveau bug fait trembler l’écran et il n’est plus possible de jouer. Je déconseille vraiment l’achat de ce jeux ! ### 1/5 — Se cierra la aplicación *2017-10-16* A partir de la fase 10 se cierra la aplicación y va a tronpicones **Developer response:** We fixed the error leading to the shutdown of the game. Please, update the game to the latest version. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best one yet *2023-06-25, version 1.2.0* My favorite version so far. I’m playing it for the second time. Love the graphics! Kudos to the artists. ### 5/5 — 好きです *2023-01-15, version 1.2.0* このシリーズを楽しみにしています。新作も出して欲しいです。 ### 5/5 — Fantastic game, but seems to have a major defect *2022-10-13, version 1.2.0* I have completed all 45 levels plus the five bonus levels all with three stars. But my score says I have only achieved 147/150 stars, even though I clearly have 150. Also, I have not been able to achieve all of the awards due to this defect. It’s very disappointing not to be able to achieve all the awards of the game :( ### 5/5 — Want more! *2020-05-03, version 1.2.0* This game is great, I play it over and over. Please make a 5th! ### 5/5 — Сказания Севера *2020-04-29, version 1.2.0* Прекрасная игра! Когда выйдет 5-ая часть на iOS? ### 5/5 — Good game but.... *2019-07-06, version 1.2.0* For the first time, i worked really hard to get ALL three stars on every level, which i did - but the game still only shows 147/150. It is annoying! But... it IS a really good TM game, so... five stars anyways. ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-04-06, version 1.2.0* Please can you tell me why the stars don’t work when I’m playing no timer I’ve played this game with no timer befor I thought that if you buy a game then you should have access to everything I am 65 years old and love this game I’m not very fast so please can you let me have my stars please from barbie thankyou ### 5/5 — Fab game *2019-01-11, version 1.1.1* Hours of play, great graphics including underwater scenes ### 5/5 — Northern Tale 4 *2018-09-09* Bravo, weiter so! Ich liiiebe Qumaron-Spiele! **Developer response:** Thank you for feedback! ### 5/5 — Great games *2018-09-07, version 1.1.1* I love these games and it's one of the few apps I will pay for. The graphics have got better over time and the story telling brings a smile. Best time management games around.
