Although whenever I press the speed up button for any reason usually a few seconds later my game crashes. Please fix this bug immediately, I love this game but after my game crashing repeatedly over and over it gets very annoying and frustrating to deal with. Again please fix this bug immediately!!! ### 4/5 — 楽しいがビューティーバクはクソ *2026-06-02, version 49* クロニクルの途中までプレイ済み。 ステージ数が多く、一回1、2時間ほどするので、じっくりやりたい人におすすめ。 残念な点としては、焚き火の説明不足とビューティーのゲージがあげられる。 焚き火に〇〇回通わせるというミッションがあるが、どうすれば通ってくれるかが書かれていない。 検索をして20人ほど職無しを作る、家を焚き火の近くに作るという攻略法が分かったが、そもそも焚き火に通うのは暇人のみとはゲーム内にはどこにも書かれてない。この攻略法が見つからなければこの時点でやめていた。 次にビューティーゲージバグだが、ミッションに多く出てくるためこちらの方が問題となる。 ビューティーは『建造物』と『自然』に分かれており、それぞれを100%にするとビューティーが100%になる仕様だ。 しかし最初のうちは問題がなかったものの、途中から何本木を植えても『自然』ゲージが80%を超えなくなる。 仕様上『建造物』で補えないのでどうしようもないし、時々何もしてないのに『建造物』ゲージも減る時もあるので苦痛でしかない。 内部的に100%になってる可能性はあるが、ただでさえ時間のかかる養殖をゲーム終了までひたすらやり続けることに変わりはない。 このバグが治らなければこれ以上続けるのは無理だと思う。 ### 4/5 — . *2026-05-24, version 49* Good game but it sometimes is too hard also add a decree where children can work if they want to ### 3/5 — Great game but force close every 5 seconds *2026-04-22, version 49* Great game but unplayable with how it close randomly ### 5/5 — Crash Central *2026-04-21, version 49* Just like the Outlanders 2 it just constantly crashes…. Very unfortunate, it’s a really fun game. The storage of food and everything is really annoying though ### 2/5 — unplayable after a while *2026-04-15, version 49* The game crashes in sandbox mode after your settlement becomes successful. I have now gotten to the point where my saves dont load and the game shuts down. It needs properly optimising ### 3/5 — Game crashing *2026-04-14, version 49* The game is but it is crashing a lot. Especially in sandbox mode. ### 5/5 — Please make more levels!!! *2026-04-01, version 49* This game is incomparable. Outlanders 2 is fun but everything about this version is just perfect. Please make more it’s the perfect game!! ### 5/5 — Love game but new updates please! *2026-03-21, version 49* I absolutely love this game - perfect mix between challenging and relaxing. I’ve tried Outlanders 2 but it pales in comparison to this game. Please please keep working on this one and release new updates 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Need More Levels *2026-03-18, version 49* This is my favorite game. I have replayed all of the levels so many times. Literally my o my qualm is that the updates are so few and far between. I wish there were regular updates with new levels added. It’s hard to not want more. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Constantly Crashes *2026-08-14, version 49* App can’t stay on more than a few minutes without crashing completely ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIXX THE CRASHING *2026-06-15, version 49* Game crashes multiple times a day. My system is updated. Other than it cutting me off I completely enjoy this game in my spare time Don't get me wrong love the game but the crashing is horrible!! I don't like the newer version I just don't so please fix the crashing on this one. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-06-13, version 49* I have this one level that just keeps bugging. One of them get stuck on something that’s being recycled and now nobody else will work. ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2026-06-09, version 49* I was playing a level where you have to have at least 20 followers to pass, and I was at 19 on the last day and everyone DECIDED to not give birth, just to mess me up. This game will infuriate you so much, DO NOT GET ### 1/5 — This game sucks *2026-05-24, version 49* I was playing the Marga level when 9 days away from completing the level, one of my followers died of hunger which made me lose the whole level. The thing is, I had MORE THAN ENOUGH food to supply the town with like 8 farms. What the heck?! ### 1/5 — App shutdown *2026-04-19, version 49* I’ve been playing this game for about three years now and recently I have noticed it shuts down mid play. Today I have been playing for about an hour and it has shut down nine times. ### 1/5 — Great potential *2026-04-10, version 49* This game is so much fun to play and build, unfortunately the game crashes a lot. In sandbox mode every time my town gets close or over 100 people the file won’t load anymore and just closes the app. ### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing *2026-03-29, version 49* I absolutely love this game I have both outlanders and outlanders two however EVERYTIME I TRY TO PLAY SANDBOX THE GANE CRASHES 🙄 it had no problems until recently but I have no been able to play w/o the game crashing ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-03-11, version 49* This game doesn’t seem to work right. You can’t control anyone everyone runs off doing there own thing making everyone die or be unhappy cause no one gives a sheet if they would do what they are supposed to do everything would be fine. It’s like everyone is brain dead. No one does anything. ### 1/5 — Unplayable due to bugs *2026-01-16, version 49* Can’t open the biggest levels, won’t acknowledge when objectives are met, such a beautiful game it’s such a shame that it’s no longer playable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best phone game out there *2026-08-15, version 49* Got absolutely addicted to this game! The perfect combination of strategy and cozy… i couldn’t put it down! definitely 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Please keep updating! *2026-07-26, version 49* Absolutely my favorite phone game, I spent months playing. Outlanders 2 is fun, but this is definitely the better of the two games overall and I’m honestly just here to be another voice begging you to keep adding levels/challenges here too. PLEASE (and hopefully thank you 👀) ### 5/5 — Very chilled, very good game *2026-07-23, version 49* I played a lot of strategy games over the years, but this was a pleasant surprise. Took it on holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it not too stressy and a slightly different metaphor to the usual RTS games. Well done devs. Looking forward to taking a peek at outlander 2 ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-07-22, version 49* Wow! The details in this game are amazing! I kept finding little things in each level that just blew me away with how much attention the creators took. The puzzles were challenging without being too frustrating. The music was beautiful. Overall a really great game! ### 5/5 — ステージ追加して欲しいです😭 *2026-07-11, version 49* 好きすぎて3度目のコメントです！ 飽き性な私が唯一何年もハマってプレイしてます ただ、もう遊び尽くしてしまってプレイできるステージがないです(´；ω；｀) アウトランダーズ2の方もプレイしたんですが、やっぱりどうしても、こっちの方が世界観と音楽が好きでこっちを何回もプレイしてしまいます。 もう新しいステージ来ないんでしょうか？ このゲームもっと遊びたいです😭😭😭😭 ### 5/5 — Best mobile game I’ve ever played *2026-06-21, version 49* Like the title says. Game is perfectly balanced with challenges and rife with unique artwork and creativity. ### 5/5 — 本当に素晴らしいゲーム *2026-06-09, version 49* このゲームはいつプレイしても楽しい。 本当に良いゲームだけど、一点だけ致命的なミスがある。 【翻訳の誤り】 * 翻訳には改善の余地あり。キャンペーンの達成条件に誤訳と思われる箇所が複数あり、「仲間を20人未満にする」が「20人以上仲間を集める」と表示されるなど、本来の条件と正反対の意味になっていることがあった。達成条件に関わる部分なので修正を希望。 それ以外にも小さなバグ等はあるものの、PCゲーだったこのゲームが、アプリとしてスマホやiPadでプレイできている事に満足。 ### 5/5 — Very fun casual strategy *2026-06-07, version 49* I enjoyed this game but it does get repetitive ### 5/5 — Nice lil game, some annoyances here and there, but quite cosy. *2026-05-25, version 49* Firstly, wanted to say, I’m kinda stuck on level 15/that bonfire one. Okay, so for the actual review: I’d say it’s a pretty good game. It’s leagues above those typical terrible mobile games; even though there is a low bar for mobile games this definitely goes beyond good. There are levels in the “campaign” that are annoying or too tedious, but they do a good job of showing you the game’s content. Even as someone not very into city management kind of games, I’ve quite enjoyed Outlanders. ### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE THIS GAME I BEG OF YOU *2026-05-18, version 49* This has been my comfort game now since 2021 and I truly love every detail about this game. I have tried outlanders 2 and it is just not the same and doesn’t feel the same. I know many agree with me so I am coming here to please beg to update this game with at least 15-20 new levels so I don’t have to bother you for another couple of years PLEASE --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
