### 5/5 — Tap tap

*2026-07-07, version 5.3.7*

This is a great game the only thing I wish I could get the game I was playing on my old phone 
I now have a iPhone and when I was playing I was on a Android..

### 5/5 — А

*2026-05-25*

Не хватает разнообразия

**Developer response:** Мы ценим ваши отзывы о необходимости большего разнообразия. Наша команда постоянно работает над улучшением игрового процесса, и мы поделимся вашим предложением с ними. Спасибо за вашу поддержку и приятного строительства вашего города!

### 3/5 — Навязчивый отзыв

*2026-04-12*

Играешь в игру. Смотришь рекламу, чтобы получить некий бонус. Через 15 секунд игра говорит:
«Дружок-пирожок, ты давно не смотрел рекламу. Посмотри рекламу, которую мы сразу и прямо называем навязчивой и получишь ничего». 

А еще баннер, рекламирующий платное отключение рекламы перекрывает кнопку, которую нужно регулярно тыкать для игры. Тебя буквально наказывают за то, что мало рекламы смотришь, даже если включаешь её раз в минуту. 

Вернулся в билдер после долгого перерыва, а тут грустно(

**Developer response:** Приносим извинения за неудобства, вызванные рекламой и баннерами. Реклама помогает поддерживать игру бесплатной, но вы можете удалить баннер, совершив любую внутриигровую покупку. Мы ценим ваши отзывы и надеемся, что вы продолжите получать удовольствие от игры.

### 5/5 — Игра топ

*2026-03-02*

Только скачал уже нравится  обучение легкое здания красивые 5 звезд если найду ошибки и баги то напишу

**Developer response:** Мы рады, что вам нравится игра, и вы находите обучение простым, а здания красивыми! Спасибо за вашу оценку в 5 звезд. Если вы обнаружите какие-либо ошибки или проблемы, пожалуйста, не стесняйтесь обращаться к нам.

### 5/5 — Goated

*2026-02-22, version 5.3.7*

Nostalgia from this came from an older device I used to love this game (still do) I barely got the architectural administration now I’m level 80 (at the time of writing this review) and I wanna say PLAY THIS GAME it’s old but gold

### 5/5 — SO GREAT!

*2026-01-20, version 5.3.7*

BEST GAME. I USED TO HAVE THIS ON A OLDER DEVICE.
NO ADS.
but I would like you guys to get rid of the ad strip, and the free ruby key thing that constantly comes up

### 5/5 — Игра очень клевая

*2026-01-15*

Очень здоровская игра и все мне безумно нравится но сама карта немного маловата, хочется больше места для творчества, даже готов был бы покупать зоны за ключи или типо того, было бы славно еще немного декора, например хочу построить парк в городе но большой и интересный парк не получится, во первых из-за количества декора, во вторых из-за того что везде нужно подводить дороги, или может сделать хотяб пешеходную дорожку типо из щебня и деревянные мостики, заранее спасибо, а так повторюсь игра на все пять баллов, и так же добавить чуть больше разновидностей покраски домов и вообще различных строений

**Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш замечательный отзыв и отличные идеи! Мы ценим ваши предложения по расширению карты и добавлению новых элементов декора. Мы передадим ваши замечания нашим разработчикам. Мы рады, что вам нравится игра, и надеемся, что вы продолжите получать удовольствие от создания своего города!

### 5/5 — A review

*2025-12-18, version 5.3.7*

Not bad, frequent updates are what we want

### 4/5 — Игра классная в целом но рубиновые и золотые ключи…

*2025-11-30*

Игра в целом очень хорошая! Строишь новые здания, собираешь с них деньги, всё круто! Но было бы лучше без этих РУБИНОВЫХ и ЗОЛОТЫХ ключей! Ладно ещё золотые но рубиновые… 
ИХ НЕ ТАК ПРОБЛЕМАТИЧНО ПОЛУЧИТЬ НО НАДО ОЧЕНЬ ДОЛГО ЖДАТЬ! (А донатить не хочется)  
И ещё из-за рубиновых ключей невозможно построить уникальные здания! 
-1 звезда за эти дебильные ключи!
Пожалуйста уберите эти золотые и рубиновые ключи и играть станет гораздо лучше 🙏

**Developer response:** Мы ценим ваши добрые слова и понимаем ваши опасения по поводу рубиновых и золотых ключей. Crystal Bank и магазин предоставляют рубиновые ключи, но для их получения требуется время и продуманная стратегия. Спасибо за ваш подробный отзыв; мы передадим его разработчикам, чтобы улучшить игровой процесс.

### 4/5 — 色々良くなってる

*2025-11-20*

最近また始めたら画面上部のほぼ半分を閉めてた広告がなくなってたりイベントが追加されてたりと遊びやすくなってる。
このまま施設とかも追加してほしいなあ

But if you make any in-app purchase, the banner will disappear. As for the rewards, please, contact us at support@herocraft.com.
