### 5/5 — Jogo muito bom

*2025-08-10*

Super divertido, desafiante na quantidade certa

### 5/5 — Engaging and challenging!

*2025-08-07, version 3.26*

I played this game years ago on my computer and was delighted to rediscover it recently. It’s an even better experience on mobile than on the computer in my opinion. The game is so immersive and fun and really challenges me to allocate resources properly and invest in people. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Terrific simple strategy game.

*2025-06-28, version 3.26*

It’s easy to learn and play, hard to prevail at the highest difficulty levels but closer to a sandbox experience in the easier settings.

### 5/5 — A True Blast From The Past

*2025-03-16, version 3.26*

I remember playing this game on flash game websites as a kid. I never was able to get far into it when I was younger, but I found it on the app store and knew I had to download it. Well worth the pocket change I spent on it. The day I downloaded it I had half of the “Huge” city reclaimed! It was such a nostalgia hit for me and I am so glad the developer made a mobile friendly version. Thank you so much for reminding me of younger days!

And a little tip for those struggling for food in winters! (I noticed a lot of people mentioning it) before winter comes use your base to surround (but do NOT reclaim) fields and parks, once you have them surrounded and cleared of zombies you can hunt the squares on repeat to maintain food supplies!

### 1/5 — WINTER??

*2024-02-08, version 3.26*

Winter starts for me randomly but send to be always between day 10-20 when I only have 100 food for 10 people. Winter also seems to last more than 50 days so my people CONSTANTLY STARVE TO DEATH

### 5/5 — Good game and an OG player

*2024-02-04, version 3.26*

I am a OG player I played the first game then played this on pc but rebuild 2 is better on mobile cause you get more things and turrets no idea the devs never added them to the game on the pc I wish rebuild 1 was on the app store.

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2023-10-27, version 3.26*

Have been playing since I was a kid!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-09-14, version 3.26*

Is it possible to get the 2nd one

### 5/5 — No micro transactions or data collection. Great Game

*2023-07-12, version 3.26*

Several things that make this game Great!
 Challenging, Fun and at times frustrating. Fantastic gameplay. The best part of this game is it’s not a game of micro transactions. As well as the fact it does not collect data of the user. Great Job!

### 5/5 — Une Merveille !

*2021-06-25*

Il n’y a pas mieux.
Vivement une nouvelle version Rebuild4 avec graphiques animés comme dans d’autres jeux nordiques ;) et en français et c’est le top.
Tout est prévu dans l’IA du jeu avec un niveau de détails excrément fin.
Bravo !
