I’d like for this to be fixed as I had already spent money on this game and cannot progress. ### 1/5 — Worst ad app ever *2026-03-01, version 1.1.4* Adds every 30 seconds, unplayable. ### 1/5 — Game not finished *2026-03-01, version 1.1.4* They put out this game without it being finished. It’s not even close to being done. I just wanted my dragon friend to fight with me but it just stopped at 100% complete and won’t give me the upgrade. Would be good if it was finished ### 1/5 — I’m disappointed … Tired of playing *2026-02-09, version 1.1.4* It was fun at first. Buuut too many ads, same bosses, can’t get past the boat that I’ve built to 100% and beyond sauce I keep going in expeditions for boat parts thinking it will tell me something new. DELETED ### 1/5 — Too many ad *2026-02-08, version 1.1.4* This game might be good if it were not for “forced ads” nearly every 45 seconds and who wants to play a game with that? Get it together guys if you want someone to play your game down size the amount of forced ads !!! ### 1/5 — Just an ad vessel nothing more *2026-02-07, version 1.1.4* This is just an ad delivery vessel. The game doesn’t matter. Ads plastered everywhere with total lack of care about the game at all. The banner ad destroying the UI is pretty sad. ### 2/5 — Too many forced ads *2026-02-04, version 1.1.4* Too many forced ads ### 2/5 — To many adds *2026-01-30, version 1.1.4* The game would be great but the adds are constant and ruin the experience why so many adds ### 1/5 — More bugs *2026-01-04, version 1.1.4* boat still bugged and sits at 100 percent regardless to how much you have done ### 4/5 — Fun game, however… *2025-12-30, version 1.1.4* This is a fun game, however there are too many advertisements, I think that when you click on watch advertisement to get this reward should be the only time there should be an advertisement. ### 1/5 — Spiel geht nicht weiter *2025-12-28* Mein Schiff ist mit 100% aber es geht nicht weiter. Ich habe immer wider versucht weiter zu kommen aber es geht nicht. Ich muss ehrlich sagen das das Spiel unter aller Sau ist die Programmierer haben entweder kein Interesse oder es hat sich schon rentiert. Aber es ist einfach nur Mist. ### 4/5 — Antonio *2025-12-15, version 1.1.4* Put less ads and it will change to five. ### 3/5 — Beaucoup trop de pub *2025-11-21* Le jeux est vachement cool, si vous arrivez à jouer car les pubs toute les 2 minutes c’est un peut chiant ### 1/5 — Disable ads does not disable ads *2025-11-20, version 1.1.3* The purchase does not specify that it only disables nuisance ads. You still watch an ad for every four seconds of gameplay because you watch an ad for literally every task you ever complete. I think they forgot to put an actual game in there somewhere. ### 1/5 — Terrible with Ads *2025-11-16, version 1.1.3* Game is unplayable. You get an ad every 5 seconds. It’s crazy. No reason for that at all. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2025-10-18, version 1.1.3* Boat stuck at 100% why would we pay for a game that doesn’t advance? ### 1/5 — DONT WASTE YOUR TIME *2025-10-13, version 1.1.3* The game is just adds the whole time literally a new weapon add a new companion add and then they want you to BUY ANOTHER CHARCTER FOR 15$ they ruined there own game ### 1/5 — Too much ads *2025-10-01, version 1.1.2* 😡 ### 1/5 — Incomplete Game *2025-09-21, version 1.1.2* Game is incomplete. Nothing beyond building the boat and getting your dragon to level 5 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Werbung *2026-07-12* Der Inbegriff von Werbungspam man geht zwei Schritte Werbung man öffnet etwas Werbung man möchte was bauen Werbung… was für ein freches geldgieriges Spiel ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-05-31, version 1.1.4* I wasted money on this game I can’t get past the boat building stage ### 1/5 — Could be fun if you can play *2026-04-18, version 1.1.4* There are so many ads you can’t actually play the game ### 1/5 — Just adds *2026-04-09* Just adds ### 1/5 — Ads start immediately *2026-04-03, version 1.1.4* As soon as the intro completed was met with an ad. Before completing first quest to chop a tree was met with another ad. It may be a great game but at this rate I’ll never get to experience it. There is a No Ads purchase option for $9.99 but I’m hesitant to do so this early in the game. ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-03-29, version 1.1.4* Common!! You already have ads built into the game for when wanting to get bonuses or better characters/builds, but forced ads literally 2 times in less than 5 min game play… DELETING APP ### 1/5 — Yuck *2026-03-28, version 1.1.4* Horrible game that has too many ads and doesn’t allow you to finish the game. You have to do raids over and over again and no advancement ### 1/5 — Warning *2026-03-28, version 1.1.4* Omg the adds start right off at the beginning 😡 played 2 min of game and had 5 forced adds! ### 1/5 — Great potential/Unfinished *2026-03-27, version 1.1.4* I feel like they they just created the beginning of the game then just gave up. I’m willing to bet they’re never going to finish as the last update was half a year ago and comments discussing the same issue of being unable to grow the dragon or complete the boat are the exact same. I don’t understand why they put so much work into a beautiful well playing game to just “give up” and leave it unfinished. Not worth the download in the end. ### 1/5 — Wasted Potential *2026-03-10, version 1.1.4* I have downloaded quite a few games from this developer and they all share the same thing. TONS of ads where you can barely do anything and bugs so you can’t progress. There also no easy way to contact support. Game has potential but wasted on bad management ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2026-03-26, version 1.1.4* Fun building and fight game. Build to become stronger so you can fight and take over lands. Five stars ⭐️ all around. ### 5/5 — Antoniocosta19 *2025-07-26, version 1.1.2* Antoniocosta19 ### 5/5 — Stronghold dude *2025-06-22, version 1.1.2* Excelente ### 5/5 — Fatih *2025-05-09, version 1.1.2* Oyun çok güzel olmuş ### 5/5 — OYUNDA HATTA VE ÇOK REKLAM VAR *2025-04-15, version 1.1.2* Oyunda tekne olmuyo her eşya koyduğumda yeni eşya istiyo tekne bitmiyor bide çok fazla reklam var ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2025-04-06, version 1.1.2* I absolutely love it but the boat has a glitch it still at 100 and I keep doing the levels and nothing happens. Please fix it I love this game and want to keep going ❤️ ### 5/5 — To the best game ever *2024-10-24, version 1.0.9* I really like this game ### 5/5 — ship part *2024-10-15* How many parts do I need to build a ship?
