Rule and guide a mesoamerican village through the vicissitudes of everyday life in the heart of a ruthless jungle.
Manage a cute rural village, be the heartless divinity you always intended to be and suffer our debatable humor in this god-game-meets-town-sim.
Decide who is worthy of your tremendous powers, earn the faith of your followers, and gift them with divine knowledge to rebuild the great city that is now in ruins.
Welcome to a world where you live only through the faith of your followers! Keep them in line, but be careful, as they could lose faith and you may very well be just another forgotten god...

● Craft more than 150 different weapons and outfits
● Send expeditions through the wild jungle and discover its many treasures

### 5/5 — This game doesn’t disappoint

*2026-05-14*

First off, the art graphics and resources that are provided in this game style format is amazing! The developers did a great job with this style of game, I really hope more is added to this game or even another game is released from them that is more of a conquest style but indigenous style lol i recommend this game and just have fun with it!

### 3/5 — Potential

*2025-10-10*

Ive known about this game for a while and seeing how its getting updates i wonder why no more content or mechanics are being implemented i have it a three stars for leaving so much unfinished potential

### 3/5 — Nice

*2025-09-18, version 1.10.10*

Cool game it keeps crashing

### 4/5 — The game has potiential

*2025-04-28*

The game could be great, if it wasn’t abandon, if there was a quest mode or an explorer mode where you can actually control villagers in some combat or gather resources this would be fire!

### 5/5 — A bug

*2025-01-23*

Just wanted to say that the thieves spawn outside the village and can’t be dealt with so I can do any scruffiest and I haven’t made anything to make the weapons so I am stuck.

### 3/5 — Game is dope

*2024-08-05*

But everytime I play on my iPhone 12 after roughly 15 mins ? Of playing the game it closes off and kicked me out the game having to restart what I was doing prior of kicking me out. Please fix this it’s quite frustrating when I’m building or sacrificing and then boom ! Game kicks me out and literally erases what I had just built prior of the game shutting down on me.  Once fixed I’ll give a 5 star !

### 4/5 — Bugs and game breaking glitches (Truth)

*2024-02-16*

Game used to be really good I use to play it all the times but left and came back until after awhile of updates the game started freezing, breaking and worse of all not even saving your progress or achievements.

Do not spend money on this game unless you want to find out the things you bought aren’t there anyone.

Im not trying to spread misinformation or anything like that I’m just speaking the truth

Overall it’s a good game just lots of bugs that needs to be fixed ASAP..

### 1/5 — Seriously…?

*2024-01-12, version 1.9.9*

You creators aren’t paying attention to any of our requests. This game keeps freezing and it some how deletes half of the stuff I built. Please fix this. I really like this game. I will give it 5 stars when it’s actually playable.

### 4/5 — Bueno

*2023-12-25*

Bien pero llegas rápido al momento en el que ya no avanzas jaja

### 1/5 — Sauvegarde absente

*2023-08-17*

Excellent jeu mais de gros problèmes de crash et de sauvegarde. Je viens de passer 7h non-stop à développer mon village et il a crash. Au moment de relancer, je me suis rendu compte qu’il était revenu 7h en arrière. J’ai instantanément désinstallé, il est hors de question que je perde mon temps à développer quelques chose qui sera réinitialisé au moment de quitter l’application.
