### 1/5 — Aztec still locked for task mode

*2025-10-16, version 4.0.15*

Why is the Aztec civilization still only open if you want to do sandbox mode rather than task mode why is the task mode still locked for that one?

### 1/5 — Aztec still locked for task mode

*2025-03-26, version 4.0.12*

Why is the Aztec civilization still only open if you want to do sandbox mode rather than task mode why is the task mode still locked for that one?

### 1/5 — Good game but bad rules from developers

*2024-10-27, version 4.0.12*

This game reminds me of Caesar III back in 2000s, everything is good: gameplay, graphic, sound ... but the way developer control the game is worst ever. Understand that you guys wanna make money but if your veteran players keep sending troops to smash newbies army everytime they take over new land is insane. You can not make people spending money in such an unfair game like this. Keep your cheated players away and let people enjoy your game then they will be happy to spend money.

### 1/5 — Trojan horse Greece Bug

*2024-09-28, version 4.0.12*

Can’t report it no world chat no support system non accountability. Game fell off like the empires in the simulator. 
I didn’t didn’t read review I wanted something calming. 
Guess I’ll never do that again.

### 5/5 — สนุก ชอบ แต่เวลาผลิตของแอบนานไปบ้าง

*2024-07-25, version 4.0.12*

ตอนนี้ล็อกอินเฟสไม่ได้ แก้หน่อยเด้อ อยากเล่นต่อแล้ว

### 1/5 — SimEmpire

*2024-06-26, version 4.0.12*

I been play this game on my IPad for  years and I reserve the game Aztec for years now and still not been  able to play and there are some people playing Aztec how come they can play but I or everyone else?

### 2/5 — Unable to link account

*2024-04-09, version 4.0.12*

Makes adding cities impossible. When linking with Facebook, unable to log into the game. Developers need to fix ASAP!

### 1/5 — Açılmıyor oyun

*2024-02-20, version 4.0.12*

Oyun beyaz ekranda takılı kalıyor açılmıyor

### 1/5 — Won’t let me log in anymore.

*2023-05-22, version 4.0.11*

I now receive an error message saying the developer is aware and once they reactivate the app I can log in once more. A week later and I still can’t log in…. Taking it a a sign to uninstall and pick up a book instead! 

Pretty poor from the developers though as there are probably many people who have spent a lot more money than me and are now locked out

### 3/5 — Frustrating details ruin a great game

*2023-05-21, version 4.0.11*

Looking for something like Pharaoh to play on my iPad, I was thrilled to find this game, which ticked all the boxes. The gameplay is a little different to prompt in-app purchases, but the game is playable without them and has no ads, so that’s not a problem for me. My big criticism is that the game only allows you to sign up as a guest, then limits your gameplay significantly because of it. Guests are unable to rename their cities, and are limited to one city. I’d love to link my game to Facebook to get rid of these limits, but it doesn’t work - FB says the app is disabled and the developer is aware.

I can deal with the timers and dodgy translation. I’d happily pay for the game if it didn’t limit my playing.
