Scratches my 4x itch on mobile while waiting at the airport and stuff. Biggest complaint is the font size and icons and everything is so small. The UI in general is hard to read on an iPhone. But you eventually figure it out and it’s fine. ### 3/5 — Absolut Top! *2025-12-27* Wahnsinnig gutes Spiel! Leider noch wiederholte Abstürze auf meinem iPad 9th. gen. inklusive Speicherstandverlust. Bitte unbedingt beheben, das Spiel ist ansonsten großartig! ### 4/5 — Wish it had multiplayer *2025-06-24* This is a great game and ports to mobile and tablet exceptionally well. I don’t think other reviews are over-stating it when they call it the best 4x for mobile. The only 4x that I’ve played which comes is are polytopia. Definitely worth the money but the lack of multiplayer really feels like a missing feature. ### 4/5 — Sympa *2025-06-07* C’est un jeu 4x plutôt bien fait basé sur 4 ressources produites par 8 types de terrains différents (9, si on compte les cités). Les 4 ressources sont le savoir, la nourriture, l’argent et la force. Ces dernières sont fortement intriquées les unes dans les autres ce qui donne une bonne saveur de stratégie. La difficulté est réglable en donnant plus ou moins d’avantages aux IA. D’ailleurs, c’est un jeu qui ne se joue qu’en solo contre plusieurs IA en même temps (en tout cas sur tablette, pas sur ordinateur). Ces dernières ne semblent pas se liguer contre nous donc pas de problème de ce côté là. Le but du jeu est d’éliminer les autres civilisations ou de marquer un certain nombre de couronnes que vous pouvez préconfigurer au début de votre partie. A chaque objectif est attribué un nombre de couronnes que vous pourrez également configurer. Les objectifs sont par exemples : obtenir x argent, obtenir x force, conquérir x cité, avoir x armées & navires etc.. Quelques défauts majeurs, Message aux développeurs : -Lorsqu’on doit choisir un objectif parmi les deux proposés à chaque tour, vous mettez un bouton qui permet de voir la carte MAIS on ne peut ni se déplacer sur la carte, ni zoomer ou dezoomer ce qui sert donc à rien… -Lorsqu’on clique sur une case en conflit, si celle-ci contient une unité, on ne peut pas avoir les informations de force ce qui est agaçant.. -le jeu plante assez régulièrement surtout si on fait une partie jusqu’à l’extermination, bien penser à sauvegarder car ce n’est pas automatique. ### 3/5 — Long version crashes constantly *2024-12-29* This is a very good game and I enjoy it a lot. It is fast-paced and challenging. If you play the long version (to conquer the board), however, the game starts crashing every few turns, which is incredibly frustrating. I have to save my game every round, and sometimes hitting save triggers a crash. This really limits the enjoyment of what is actually a very good game. ### 4/5 — essential.. *2024-11-29, version 1.0.1* I have to say that the icon and the first image I sow had made a bad impression on me: like a clone of civilization.. Instead this game is a pearl .. an interesting strategic one in German Boardgame style .. A game that points to the essentials .. of course it also made me fantasize about possible mods Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — Best 4X on mobile *2024-11-27* You heard me, this is the best 4X style game for mobile. Why? Because it’s simple, challenging (turn the difficulty up come on now) and a good port to mobile. You don’t want your 4X game to take hours on mobile and I’m glad to have found this game. 10/10 absolute banger ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-11-09* Excellent strategy game. Just one request: please fix the iPad orientation: I have to always turn around the iPad to play the game. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Autorotate? *2024-10-09* Sure would like to hold my iPad regardless of whether the Home Buton is on the left or right. Yes I mean my screen does not rotate. **Developer response:** Hey there! Do you mean that the game is not rotating when you're turning your iPad around? If so we'll definitely have a look at this! ### 5/5 — Ein wahrer Strategieschatz *2024-09-30* Perfekt für zwischendurch und ideal für das iPad ### 3/5 — Great game but UX requires improvements *2024-09-26, version 1.0.1* Overal gameplay is fun. I like the combat approach. However it looks like the game was built for desktop and migrated 1to1 to mobile without thinking about the usability. - buttons are tiny, not suitable for touch screen - fonts look nice but are very small without zoom feature - end turn actions are always zoomed to the entire map which makes it almost impossible to see what exactly is happening and there is no control over the map - while previewing cards to chose at the beining of the turn you cannot move the map - it is impossible to know combat strength of fields on which any unit stands (tooltip is not launching and colored circle have to many lines) If that is just an initial stage and you published it to gather feedback then at least launch it for free ### 5/5 — Great port *2024-09-25, version 1.0.1* Hi guys. Great port, love the game. Wish the app would change orientation based on users needs, perhaps something to consider for future updates. Thanks ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2024-09-16* Thank you for bringing this gem of a game to the app store and even allow it to be installed on macOS. Cloud Saves would be the icing on the cake! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I knew it! I just knew it! *2025-10-06* Update: I’ve loaded the last two patches and the font is still too small to read. Bunch of developer dribble.—- That dumb and lazy. —- Totally IMPOSSIBLE to play on an iPhone. Font unadjustable and impossible to read. So scratch the tutorial since you have to be abke to read it. Dah! A complete waste of money. And I bet you knew this making you another unethical person ripping people off. Right now I’m trying to explode your head! On top of that, this numbnuts doesn’t even support BOTH Landscape orientations. Just how dumb and lazy are you pukes? ### 1/5 — Impossible play on iPhone *2025-08-24, version 1.0.5* The game Clips be valid bit the size of the map and the te t for an iPhone is impossible to play (3€ throw away) ### 1/5 — I knew it! I just knew it! *2025-07-22, version 1.0.3* That dumb and lazy. —- Totally IMPOSSIBLE to play on an iPhone. Font unadjustable and impossible to read.

You guys are amazing. ### 1/5 — I knew it! I just knew it! *2024-12-21* Totally IMPOSSIBLE to play on an iPhone. Font unadjustable and impossible to read. So scratch the tutorial since you have to be abke to read it. Dah! A complete waste of money. And I bet you knew this making you another unethical person ripping people off.

Danke gür nichts ### 1/5 — Unspielbar auf iPhone SE *2024-09-15* Der Text der Anleitung ist auf einem IPhoneSE leider so klein, dass man sie nicht lesen kann. ### 1/5 — crashes *2024-09-13, version 1.0.1* gam crashes randomly, and all progress is lost. ### 1/5 — Game is good but *2024-09-03* Korean font is completely broken ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very fun quick 4X game *2026-05-29, version 1.0.7* I bought this game on Steam for my PC and immediately fell in love with it. I ended up bought ALL its DLCs including the soundtrack. When I saw this game was available in App Store, I immediately bought it again. Originally I wanted to play on my iPad, but now I am playing on my iPhone. If you like to play 4X games but feel it takes too much time, you should try this one. If you (like me) especially like to see how your empires grow with satisfactory boarder map grow, you cannot miss this one. I own hundreds of games but have much less stamina now due to old age, but in last 2 years I played this games more times than any other games, because it’s fun and didn’t take days to finish. It has such a charm that whenever I started to play it, I enjoy it and cannot stop. This is the first long review I ever left for any game, iOS or PC. I just wish more people can enjoy this little gem, and let its developer receive more appreciation so they can developer similar and better games in the future. ### 5/5 — Tolles 4X Spiel *2026-04-08* Anfangs etwas undurchsichtig , dann entpuppt sich das Spiel aber als tolle und fordernde Strategieperle. Man muss verschiedene Felder erobern und dann Technologien weiterentwickeln, die mehr Geld / Nahrung oder Forschungspunkte bringen. Am besten ein YouTube Tutorial anschauen. Ihr solltet kein Telefon kleiner als IPhone Pro Max nutzen , wegen der Bildgröße. ### 5/5 — 4x on the road *2026-03-19* Really cool implementation of a 4x, love to play it on my commute. I think it's worth the price, but it gets a little repetitive later on. Definitely recommend **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! Glad you like the game! ### 5/5 — Best 4x game on mobile!! *2026-01-15* I love this game! I’m a Civilization player for decades and now I found my jewel on mobile. Devs, please bring this game even further! More objective cards, more maps and hopefully a PvP mode on mobile. But thanks for this already awesome game! Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — J’adore ! (Amélioration tout de même attendus) *2025-11-23* J’adore, au début j’ai mis du temps à comprendre mais une fois compris c’est tout bête 🙃 Plusieurs carte avec le choix de difficulté, en tout cas une fois dans le jeux on ne vois plus passé le temps ! J’ai lu l’avis précédent et je confirme que la sauvegarde est automatique à présent ! Amélioration attendus : - le jeu crash beaucoup vers la fin de la partie (je possède l’iphone 13), malgré la sauvegarde automatique plusieurs redémarrage de la partie afin de la terminer pour une anéantissement total ! Cependant ça arrive lors des crash, de temps en temps une fois que je ressaye de retourner dans ma partie, la partie reviens au début ou toute les civilisation ont leur territoire et aucunes manipulation est possible (perte de la partie sans voir la fin ..) ### 5/5 — Классная игра *2025-05-27* Приятная цивилизация, качественная игра. Надеюсь, попробовать и другие игры этого разработчика) ### 5/5 — Klasse Spiel *2025-05-24* Macht Spaß und ist auf Deutsch. ### 5/5 — Finally *2025-05-21, version 1.0.1* I’ve been looking for a game like this for so long. Great for a somewhat casual game that scratches the turn based civ game itch. It did take a few games to figure out how to play because the tutorial isn’t super clear, but figured it out eventually! ### 5/5 — Great strategy game *2025-05-11, version 1.0.1* Beautifully balanced. Use the tutorial to get you going. Start on easy and build up when you get to grips with it. Great job game maker! ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game *2024-12-30, version 1.0.1* If you love 4X, but can’t dedicate days to it, this is for you! Brilliantly balanced game with plenty of room to refine your strategy. I saw a previous review complaining it was too hard, I’d say it’s a proper strategy game for those that want a much more complicated game of risk. If you’re new to strategy games I agree it could be a relatively steep learning curve. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
