I mean, it does lack in a couple minor areas. There is no animation for guards getting on/off of the guard tower. I also get relatively attached to the little guys that guard my little city, and I’m sad that they just land in the dirt face first, and their battle buddies don’t remove them from the battle field. I dunno. It’s a great game, I play it all the time and it very quickly became one of my favorites. I’d really love to see a couple animations added, but other than that, the game is a masterpiece for $5. ### 4/5 — おもろいけど… *2026-04-14* 世の中にいろんなゲームがある中でこのゲームはクオリティの面でかなり他のゲームよりもいいと思いました このような街を作るゲームとしてのコンセプトがしっかりとしているのもそうだし、何よりやってて飽きないところがあると思います 絵柄もかなり良い ただし、他の方も言っていますが、とにかくバッテリーの減る量が多いので充電はこまめにやった方がいいです ### 2/5 — Fun but with Critical Bug *2026-04-11, version 2.0.3* The game is fun to play however as you advance and unlock the sailing function and start to clear the surround islands the game has a bug that doesn’t let you select the final 2 islands. It always redirects you either off world or to a totally different island. This bug prevents you from finishing the game and seeing how it ends. A true let down for what I would have given a 5 star game. ### 2/5 — Ok, but no depth *2026-03-28, version 2.0.3* This game is more of a light sim and less of a city building or defense strategy than I was hoping. Monsters are generic and defenses are very basic. You assign troops with one of three weapons but there’s no planning or strategy to it. Building your town, you can slightly optimize by your choice of building placement but again you can’t really do it wrong and either way you get basically the same result. No replay ability. ### 2/5 — The idea is good, but the execution is poor. *2026-02-01, version 2.0.3* The game glitches a lot, characters get killed just because they get stuck in structures, it happens all the time, ruins the whole gaming experience. Deleting it. ### 1/5 — Trade Post menu will not open *2025-09-24, version 2.0.3* Fun game so far but the trade menu has never opened for me. Clearly it’s a bug. I’ve uninstalled and started several new games. I’ve built ships, that I’ve ever only partially seen built in the dock, but the counter shows 5. Then build a Trade Post that only makes a click sound when I select it. I can’t finish the game without it. I’d like it to work or my $5 back. Thanks ### 3/5 — Bugs! *2025-08-15, version 2.0.3* The fact that my guards or civilians get stuck around the fire or around buildings during the night leads to unnecessary deaths within my camp, I’ve had to destroy buildings around it just to ensure they could move. A bit of a silly bug if you ask me and one that needs fixing! ### 3/5 — You get playtime, but also bugs and poor mobile design *2025-08-14, version 2.0.3* Perks of this game is you’ll get plenty of playtime for your buck, with an ad free experience, no arcade token purchases, etc. My biggest frustration while sinking time into this game has been some poor design for mobile users. You are expected to nail really small icons in a crowded field to get to what you need, the macro-level views are limited, and there aren’t any macro-level adjustments you can make (redistribute weapons, auto assign optimal tools if available, etc). Combined with the need to reassign all of a villager’s tools again if you switch them between production jobs vs combat jobs and it becomes tedious. My second biggest complaint is obvious bugs/jank. There are more than a handful, and they all interfere with this being an enjoyable experience. ## Frequently asked questions about The Bonfire 2 Uncharted Shores ### What is The Bonfire 2 Uncharted Shores?
