## What is Terra Nil?

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Revitalize a barren wasteland. Plant sprawling forests, purify soil and clean polluted oceans to turn a ravaged environment into an ecological paradise.

Transform a lifeless landscape into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem. Turn dead soil into fertile grassland and create the ideal habitat for animals to call home. Then recycle your buildings and leave no trace that you were there. 

Features:

• Dive into a reverse city builder: Use advanced eco-technology to purify the soil, creating plains, wetlands, beaches, rainforests, wildflowers and more — then efficiently recycle everything you've built, leaving the environment pristine for its new animal inhabitants.
• Explore different maps every time: Procedurally generated landscapes mean no two play-throughs will ever be the same. Plan your build around randomized, challenging and unpredictable terrain, including snaking rivers, mountains, lowlands and oceans.
• Experience tranquility: Lush hand-painted environments, relaxing music and an atmospheric ambient soundscape make this game a peaceful, meditative experience. When you're done, use Appreciate mode to bask in the natural beauty of the ecosystem you have restored.

- Created by Free Lives and 24 Bit Games.

### 2/5 — Good game, but…

*2026-03-16, version 1.2.10*

Very fun I love it, EXEPT for some reason the game always crashes when I try to collect seeds so I can’t progress any farther. Is anyone else having this problem on iPad?

### 2/5 — Big bug on saving progress

*2026-03-14, version 1.2.10*

I never review game before but I have to this time. I love the game concept, graphic and music. However, the game has biggest fault on one simple and critical function, which is allow player to save progress and resume the game. I had to start 6 times from level 2, and the last time I have reach level 4, when I come back next day, the progress is back to level 2. I will have to give up this game for now until this big bug is fixed, I play on iPad under Netflix account. I am happy to pay through iTunes to get a local copy if that option is available.

### 1/5 — Netflix Scam

*2026-03-12, version 1.2.10*

Don’t advertise this game as purchase and ad free then make my pay a 20$ a month subscription to Netflix to play it. Stop letting companies monopolize.

### 5/5 — THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!

*2026-03-07, version 1.2.10*

I love it because it is like an earth saving game and unlike other games there are no annoying ads!❤️

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2026-03-06, version 1.2.10*

Good game in theory but impossible to play due to constant crashes

### 5/5 — Hate to see it go!!

*2026-03-05, version 1.2.10*

I love playing this game. It’s got some bugs, but it’s such a great concept, and so fun to figure out a perfect world. I was too busy to play much last year, and it’s the worst to finally have the time, only to have them yank it. 🙁

### 3/5 — Glitches a lot

*2026-03-02, version 1.2.10*

I used to like playing this game, just recently started playing again. Not sure why, but it glitches an awful lot and kicks me out often.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-03-01, version 1.2.10*

Completely hooked. This is in my top 3 of best strategy games of all time! I will be replaying this again. Playing on an old iPad and no bugs to report. Terra Nil 2 please!

### 4/5 — Great game, super buggy

*2026-02-24, version 1.2.10*

I play on my iPhone.  It kicks me out often the further I get.  makes playing the second section very difficult

### 1/5 — Can no longer progress due to crashing

*2026-02-21, version 1.2.10*

Game was fun but at a certain point, game crashes upon attempting to load the game. Based off other reviews from years ago, it doesn’t look like this will get fixed.
