Fun but buggy

A fun game with meaningful progression, but bugs have halted my progress in Mist Island. I can no longer place any villagers in any food resource and so my villagers keep dying. Additionally, the survivor search doesn’t work to bring any survivors in. If those bugs are fixed, it’d be 5 stars.

Love this game but…

I really enjoy this game. However, sometimes it gets a little too grindy and I have to take a break and come back to it in a few days. I would prefer it to be a little less grindy. That said, once I reached the Acid Rain Island, things picked up quite a bit. Even less grindy on Zombie Island…until I stopped receiving map fragments from battles and I am a little less than 300 fragments short of being able to move on to the next map. What is going on?

Also, I came here to leave my review and see there is supposedly an event going on? Where is that in the game? I’ve never seen anything like that and I’m far enough into the game that I should have by now.

So chilled

Game eats your gems

This game randomly eats your gems, constantly! I just unclaimed a finished task for 5 gems and the game took away 250 gems. Total gems I gave lost is now over 1000! Why would I ever purchase them?

Is the game fun? Yes, but it has trouble remembering where you put your people when it reloads. The developers need to learn basic math. If you want an accurate game, this is not for you.

It’s a good game but buggy

Other than Facebook there doesn’t seem to be any contact info available for the developers of this game.

Been trying to play some easy, stress free games but there’s a specific bug that prevents your soldier camps from keeping or allowing additions to your soldiers, therefore you keep losing against pirates or yetis or whatever. I’m very close to advancing to the next island but my three soldier camps have zero soldiers so I keep losing and am unable to advance. I’ve spent a bit of money on this so it’s frustrating. If it wasn’t for that I genuinely would have no complaints.

Good Game - Bugs Found

I have run into an issue where my Solider camp will say that there are 5 survivors assigned to it, yet it can only hold 2. It also shows a grey area where assigned survivors should show up, and when I hit the minus symbol to remove them, it says they were removed but the number does not change to allow me to actually assign survivors to the camp.

Additionally, there is also a bug where it will not allow me to place a second iron mine because the iron mine has not been discovered and to upgrade my campfire, when my campfire is level 7 and I have already placed an iron mine and advanced it to level 2.

Best game ever

Good afternoon

Glitches

Fun game but there are graphic glitches on the first island by the time you get to the desert. Also, the villager allotment to various jobs are broken. Also, the pirating frequency is literally every day and you can’t get a break and you just watch your village burn.

Bugs

Constantly buggy during the third island. Unplayable.

Saved my life

I had stage 4 cancer 10 times. When I played this game I survived. Ok but no joke this game Is fire. Would definitely recommend.

O jogo é bom, mas precisa de melhorias

O jogo é bom, mas precisa que acrescente uma forma de vínculo com a Game Center para não perder os dados já jogados.

Response from developer

Hello. Sorry for what you confronted in the game.Your opinion is quite important for us. Your feedback has been reported to developers.

Slowest game every

It bottlenecks where you can’t do anything 14 hrs offline and it didn’t complete 1 small building. Can’t get people, can’t do construction says not enough people and you can’t continue, waste of time

Technology doesn’t persist between levels

Ridiculous how you have to spend insane amounts of coins on technology on one island, then all that technology gets erased when you sail to a new island

Too many issues

I have been playing awhile now, however; I only can get to the third island. It’s ridiculous that the players disappear especially in the war tents. I delete them and rebuild only to have the same problem. The most annoying part of this game is the constant warring just for annoyance. Everyone is always sick from working and dying from hunger. I hate that I paid for this game to avoid adds of I would not give a flying f, I would just delete this garbage

Island purchase misleading

I thoroughly enjoy the game and to avoid all the ads, I paid for the ad free. I have no gripes about that at all. The Island purchase is completely misleading. Says survivors will automatically join and they don’t. They get put on a timer that continues to go up for every missing survivor and you cannot speed it up. Where that becomes an issue is the ad free version allow you to speed up searching for survivors basically getting them as fast as you can click, which helps get your guards back into camps and fighting again. It set me back tremendously. This needs fixed or I’ll be requesting a refund. I paid and it got worse.

十分耗时的放置游戏,必须付费解锁无广告!

Final verdict upfront: Island 2 is only beatable by watching ads or collecting offline rewards.
There are far too few trees in the safe zone. The longer you stay online, the fewer trees you have left, until your workers run out of wood entirely. Every log has to be gathered outside the safe zone at the risk of death, and your people freeze to death every single day. It’d be heroic in an epic story, but I’m just playing a casual idle game! I can’t even leave it afk to farm resources—my entire population dies if I look away for a minute. Did the devs even balance the numbers properly?

Later on, I fired all my workers except one, relying only on ad rewards and offline income to produce charcoal and planks.
Upgrading the campfire is extremely costly, and it only burns charcoal, not raw wood, while charcoal production is painfully slow. The extra wood you gain by expanding the safe zone isn’t even enough to feed the campfire, which devours half your total charcoal output. Buildings also gobble up tons of charcoal, leaving you completely stuck in the mid-to-late game. Upgrading one building takes at least half an hour and barely makes a difference. On top of that, planks compete for the same scarce wood.

Once I started collecting the 100 map fragments, I finally figured it out: halt all development and go full military-first policy.
Dedicate all production solely to defense, farm map pieces steadily, and get out of Stage 2—that’s the only viable strategy. After all, what’s the point of upgrading tech if not to escape this terrible place? Going back to basics makes everything way easier.

After level 50, pirates attack daily, dropping 2 map fragments each time. Theoretically you need 250 minutes to get 100 fragments.
But I had a traitor in my ranks! The Golden Armor Warrior is utterly useless with its absurdly long aggro range. It often charges out and dies before the pirates even land. To make it worse, it gets the pirates stuck far away, out of my defense towers’ range. When the timer runs out, the pirates win by default—and I get no map fragments at all!
To add insult to injury, the system assumes you lost and “generously” gives you an extra day to prepare. I didn’t even need help! The next wave just comes the following day, wasting 10 minutes of my time thanks to this “kind” feature.

I finally cracked the meta: upgrading is pointless. All that matters is holding off the pirates.
After endless days and nights of grinding, I’m finally leaving Island 2. TAT

Game play

This game needs to be fixed. I should’ve gave it one star. The people are always constantly dying of starvation although you have thousands of twins of thousands of food available it should be a way that you can click on these idiot and tell them to go get something to eat before they die you constantly have to keep replacing workers for starvation. I wish I hadn’t paid for this game to stop the ads. But I guess this game it’s a money grab because you have no way to contact the developer directly.

十分耗时的放置游戏,必须付费解锁无广告!

我目前的进度停留在第二岛屿(寒冰岛),我不得不停下游戏,让我去获取2个小时的离线收益,这一切都是为了木炭!木炭作为家伙材料,篝火的燃烧需要它,基础建筑的材料也需要它,但木炭的产量太低了!当我意识到木炭的消耗太重要,我第一时间就建立了3间木炭厂,并且提升到2级,然而产量依然太低了,篝火在不停得消耗它!我无法及时升级我的建筑,无法提升等级,我必须等待相当长的时间去产生木炭,然后海盗不会停下脚步,等我的战力不足以应付海盗时(因为木炭的高消耗低产量!我甚至无法停止篝火,因为我解锁了英雄,他会不停维持我的篝火,但我真的需要更多木炭)我不得不停下游戏,等待离线生产木炭,海盗也会停止入侵,但是这不合理!
希望开发者能重视这个问题,要么提高木炭的产量,要么取消基础建筑需求木炭来进行构成。

Sucks

I’ve really used to like this game, but I’m getting attacked every other three minutes. They can’t even repair the damage and I’m getting attacked again. What in the world has happened to this game?
Can I hey a refund.. You cannot do anything
