### 5/5 — Perle im App-Store

*2026-06-25*

Dieses Spiel ist eines der besten Spiele, dass es im App-Store gibt. Kein Abo, keine Werbung, keine Dailies. Einfach entspanntes spielen ohne Zeitdruck, aber mit sehr hohem Anspruch. Dass nur ein einziger Entwickler dieses Spiel geschrieben hat, ist umso bemerkenswerter. Bitte auf gar keinen Fall von der Grafik abschrecken lassen. Ja, sie ist nicht high-end und 3D, aber es ist alles sehr hübsch animiert, die Menüführung sehr gut durchdacht und das Spiel stimmt einfach vorne und hinten. Wer die 1 gemocht hat, wird die 2 lieben. Zu dieser Rezension: Es ist nach 10 Jahren App-Store die erste Rezension, die ich jemals schreibe. Weil das Spiel so gut ist!

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2026-05-22*

Pretty much the only game I’m happy I bought, over the last few years. Very nice game play and it can keep you busy for a while.

### 5/5 — Oh 😯

*2026-04-16*

Lasst euch nicht durch die Grafik täuschen! Strategisch angenehm komplexer Wirtschaftssimulator. Ihr baut kein Dorf, sondern Lieferketten. Hier gibts nur eins zu sagen: holen! Schön, interessant, Langzeitspiel mit krasser Spielmechanik… das legt ihr wahrscheinlich Jahre nicht aus der Hand! Tüfteln, optimieren, manches selbst rausfinden, Schwierigkeitsgrad wählbar und jeder Zeit umstellbar. Spiel neu beginnen möglich. So muss sich ein Handygame anfühlen. Das ist kein Spiel sondern Leidenschaft/Hobby. Kein Wegwerfspiel, sondern Langzeitgenuss für strategische Aufbauspieler

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-01-18*

It’s an amazing game I’m obsessed with it. Maybe change how the ending works. When I’m on the last phase of opening the place it takes 2 days. Also the arch mage is useless, I can beat the game without unlocking him. How about combing it to where the arch mage expedites that two day window?

**Developer response:** You're telling only half of the story here. Only a handful of people on Steam asked for the possibility to reduce the waiting times in the game, while 99% of the community is happy about the game in its current state, especially on mobile. I denied that request as the game is an idle game by design and therefore have waiting times as a game element. To remove them would need a lot of effort as the whole game balancing would break down. The effort I would have to put into that feature is too high regarding the small demand. As I didn't want them to get just a "No", I added the hint, that someone of the community used some cheat engine to speed up the game successfully (which of course only works on PC). Later on I decided to add a time cheat into the game for those, who want to speed it up, but don't like to use external software, which I can totally understand.

I really try to do my best as a solo developer to match the needs of the awesome community around my game and I'm always available on Discord or by Mail to answer any request. I'm a bit sad, that you're feeling like I ignore my community.

Best wishes,
Tobias

### 5/5 — Klasse

*2025-12-16*

Ich bin absolut begeistert von dieser wundervollen Arbeit die hier geschaffen wurde. Eine echte Perle im Store. Das ich sowas noch erleben darf in Zeiten von Coin, Münzen, Gems und Abos, um Bilder drehen zu können. 

Wettereffekte wären noch spannend und im Winter mehr Ressourcen kosten z.B. 

Ein kleiner Multiplayer das ich waren mit meinem Bruder tauschen könnte. Aber alles kein muss. 

Danke Danke Danke 🙏

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2025-12-15, version 1.0.99*

I was looking for a single player game with some depth and incremental elements. Paragon pioneers has hooked me - some really fun mechanics and a lot to explore!

### 5/5 — One of the best

*2025-10-31*

There are only 2 games that really make sense for me on mobile, “dawn of crafting” and this game. It really just works. It’s fun and is 100% worth the money!

### 5/5 — A game designed for playing, not paying

*2025-07-27*

An excellent example of a slow-paced singleplayer city/empire builder. 
This game has a variety of difficulty settings and customizations to satisfy those seeking challenge or chill. 
Best of all, unlike many mobile games in the genre, there are no premium currencies, no ads, no constant spam to link to social media and drag friends and family into playing just to access the full game’s content. 
Unfortunately seeing a mobile game that doesn’t use FOMO or a ridiculously ballooning grind curve to convince you to break open your wallet has become distressingly rare. This game stands out as an example of what a good mobile game should be.

### 5/5 — Solid game stopped playing for 6 months

*2025-06-27*

Came back and it’s solid as ever. Simple game but I keeps me occupied.
