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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Good game ruined by bugs *2025-07-05, version 2.0.3* A fun, moody take on city building, but once the town starts getting dense, characters frequently get stuck in buildings (particularly after battles) where they’ll eventually starve to death if the building is not destroyed. Makes the game unplayable. ### 3/5 — Later-game bug? *2025-01-30, version 2.0.3* Fun mechanics, but on IOS, the trading dock isn’t always selectable, making ships useless. Others have reported this as well, and the only solution appears to be reinstalling the game, which isn’t much of a bug-fix. What gives? ### 4/5 — Fun but needs *2025-01-28, version 2.0.3* An update please. My lil peeps keep getting stuck and then dying of starvation or sleep deprivation. Please add more content so I can keep my city growing :) Thanks ### 4/5 — Très bon jeu mais… *2024-10-21* Le jeu est très bien il offre plusieurs possibilités de créer son propre village mais le fais de devoir détruire une maison ou autre pour pouvoir la changer de place je trouve ça un peu dommage et limitant. ### 4/5 — Keeps crashing *2024-10-17, version 2.0.3* Great game but it keeps crashing and kicking me out of the game ### 4/5 — Lots of potential *2024-09-29, version 2.0.3* It is a great game but has a specific glitch that make it frustrating to play. The settlers get stuck and never enter their homes, causing lack of sleep as well as easy prey at night. Would like to see some decor. Options to change how some things look as they advance. I’m excited to see how this progresses. ### 3/5 — Faulty game dynamics *2024-07-31, version 2.0.3* It’s cute, the visuals are indie and overall it’s a good variation on RTS. I love these types of games, but unfortunately there’s too many bugs with this one. At first it isn’t obvious but then you quickly start to see that things aren’t working as they should and the UI/UX is awful. A lot of tapping to opening tiny windows with difficult to ready text. Fabricating 10 armor but the guards never wear them. Fabricating a bow but you need bowmanship master skill, but there is not skill selection UI. Most of the game ends up managing the guards who patrol the area and die easily from various attacks. And mitigating those loses by using other workers (like blacksmith or hunter), which becomes tedious. I tried to play the game where I stayed indoors the whole time. I went 160 days before mega creatures appear and destroy my village. Even at 160 days, the best building was a trade shipyard. But there was no one trade with so it made no sense. Also there’s no obvious way to brew wine or forge steel. $4.99 is a bit high for this type of gameplay. I would have expected something more intuitive. ### 4/5 — Équilibrage *2024-06-02* Bonjour, Je joue à ce jeu depuis un moment et j’ai remarqué un problème concernant toutes les difficultés. La gestion des troupes pour défendre le village la nuit est inexistante ou trop limitée, ce qui empêche une bonne stratégie de défense. Les soldats ne sont pas groupés et répondent aux ordres aléatoirement (à chaque ordre donné, ils mettent d’ailleurs plusieurs secondes à s’activer). Du début jusqu’au 100e jour (en mode facile), rien de très compliqué : les 12 emplacements du feu de camp sont largement suffisants. Passé les 100 jours, vous aurez normalement eu le temps d’obtenir quelques PNJ de niveau 10 et de les spécialiser dans un domaine (arc – d’ailleurs, sur certaines parties, il y a un bug qui m’empêche de donner des arcs à mes PNJ pourtant formés pour – ou bouclier). Vous survivez jusqu’au jour 150, mais graduellement les MOBS deviennent beaucoup trop puissants et nombreux, tandis que mes gardes, améliorés autant que possible, arrivent au compte-gouttes pour s’empaler sur les ennemis. C’est le seul problème, mais il gâche absolument toute ma progression dans le jeu. Si je poste ce commentaire, ce n’est pas pour critiquer le studio, mais au contraire pour les aider à améliorer ce jeu que j’apprécie énormément. N’hésitez pas à l’essayer, tout le reste est super : bien optimisé, les décors, la musique, le son, les outils de gestion et les efforts mis dans certains détails font la beauté de ce jeu. Merci. ### 2/5 — Lacking depth in gameplay. *2024-05-21, version 2.0.3* Decent town building mechanics but lacking A LOT. No real evolution or tech advancement. Just rinse and repeat gameplay. A game you’d only play once and never look at it again. ### 3/5 — اللعبة حلوة بس عندي مشكلة داخل اللعبة *2024-04-05, version 2.0.3* المشكلة هي انه تطوير الشخصية إلى رامي أسهم تكون فعاله بس ما يجني او أحط قوس الأسهم للشخصية اللي فيها تطويرة رامي الأسهم معى انه معاي قوس الأسهم فوق العشرين ما يمديني أحطها للشخصية ### 4/5 — Love this game but keeps crashing! *2024-02-04, version 2.0.3* Get right into the game and it crashes! Are there any work arounds to stop this from happening? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Сырая игра *2025-07-21* Прикольная задумка, но куча багов. Баланса ресурсов нет, просто ждешь кучу времени, когда накопают тебе уголь, чтобы из него сделали вино для обмена на метеоритные осколки. Есть один остров, куда направляешь корабль, а он уплывает куда-то за пределы карты. Распределение ресурсов: задал я значит изготовление З бронированных кораблей, и там запрятали З солнечных камня на верфи, а камни, как оказалось нужны для портала Титану, вот мне не хватает на строительство. Хорошо, думаю сломаю верфь, верну камни, но у меня и камни пропали и корабль бронированный. Я дошел до босса, но без титана не убил его, потом там дается еще попытка, я вывожу корабль с острова злодеев, а он просто пропал, со всеми долго прокаченными воинами, оружием и броней. ### 1/5 — Игра не стоит денег. *2025-04-22* Как вы уже наверное поняли, эта игра с кучей багов. Играл год назад, была одна проблема - люди застревали в здании и ничего не делали умирая там от голода, решил скачать, посмотреть как сейчас играется, что увидел в итоге? В итоге теперь пешки просто не идут работать🤷🏻‍♂️ Стоят на месте и все, снимаешь пешку со здания, он начинает бежать и что-то делать, переставляй, не переставляй других на здание где случился баг, это не помогает, сносишь здание и строишь его в новом месте? Это тоже не помогает🤷🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — バグ *2024-12-15* タイタンを召喚してラスボスを倒したのにムービーが固まってDAY1で最初からリセットされるバグが起きました ### 1/5 — Wasted hours of playtime *2024-08-11, version 2.0.3* Have spent the entire day trying to play this. The first time I put about 5 hours in and after a while noticed I couldn’t do anything with my trading dock. After some research it is a known bug and the only thing to do is to restart as you can’t even click on the trading dock to destroy it and try again. So I tried a second playthrough. And again the trading dock is inoperable. Complete waste of money, game does not function properly. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-04-20, version 2.0.3* It crashes so often it’s unplayable. I would like a refund. ### 1/5 — No real strategy. Just a lot of button pushing. *2024-03-01, version 2.0.3* I played the game for about 5 to 6 hours. I found myself just equipping guards for the night and un-equipping them for the day. It got to the point where it was nighttime by the time I finished un-equipping guards and daytime the finished time I finished equipping them. This seemed to be a very effective strategy, and became very tedious after a while, and I got bored of the game. ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2024-02-17, version 2.0.3* Don’t do it. Glitchy. Not worth the price. Wish it had more features to see what the villagers were lacking (tool or cart, etc) instead of clicking on every single one to see their statuses. Graphics are subpar. Copy paste job. I wish there were a few sentences about all the different things you can do in the game. It’s not intuitive. ### 1/5 — 【重要】絶対に買ってはいけません *2024-01-26* 評価が高かったので、無名タイトルに700円を払いましたが、買う価値はありません。以下の理由です。 *バグが多い:致命的なものでは、守衛を配置しても敵の襲来時に寝てるケースがあり、そのまま殺されます。 *操作性の悪さ:労働者の配置転換が多いですが、配置転換の変更が手間なUIになっています。いちいち進行を停止して作業を行う必要があります。 *チュートリアルがない:他の方も記載されてますが、チュートリアルがないに加えて説明文も簡易的なものしかないので、とりあえず作ってみて確認する作業が発生します *ゲームのアップデートがされていない:問題点が多いのにも関わらず、このゲームの管理が放置されたままになっています。これが致命的です。 ### 1/5 — Game is currently seriously bugged *2023-12-31, version 2.0.3* It’s impossible to finish the game due to issues with the island exploration screen. Sinking hours into a game that can’t be finished is so unsatisfying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-05, version 2.0.3* I love the game only problem I got is the first one should be free so people can try the game out first instead of buying the first one to see u gotta buy the second or vice verse lol ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-05-23, version 2.0.3* The graphics are absolutely stunning, and the game play is solid. 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. ### 5/5 — Best phone game I’ve ever played *2024-11-28, version 2.0.3* Please make a 3d one been waiting for years ### 5/5 — すぐ落ちる *2024-08-23* 中盤になると落ちる率が多くなったようです。どうにかなりませんか？ ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2024-02-04, version 2.0.3* Love it ### 5/5 — PLEASE FIX the crashing. I love this game. *2023-11-27, version 2.0.3* Honestly I really do love playing this game. It’s fun and I like the freedom you have in building everything. However, the game constantly crashes. I really want to play it but no point when I can only have it open for 2 minutes at a time. PLEASE FIX these bugs. ### 5/5 — This games been keeping me up at night ! *2023-04-02, version 2.0.3* It’s been a while since I’ve played something on my phone that’s captivated me for hours and I mean hours ! Yes I’ve done 200 days over and over just to see how many ways I can win per say but I’d love to see more updates! I’ve a few suggestions that could make this game even more fun and interesting. Higher level structures (pasture farm housing) More titan upgrade More space Level 2 guard tower More enemy islands and foes More story Make quests Make trade better / costly Ladder for the top of the mountain Refreshing trade Decorations Flowers I will still love and play the game even without all those things I think the game would benefit from ❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-03-22, version 2.0.3* Love it wish there was more to the game but still love its a good game to help ya wind down at night 🤘🤘 ### 5/5 — Great Game but too many crashes *2023-02-04, version 2.0.2* I absolute love this game but as of lately the app has been crashing quite frequently Mali bf the playing experience a bit irritating. Otherwise this is amongst the best game I have ever played! ### 5/5 — 이게임은 진짜 짧습니다. *2023-01-11* 3일 정도 밤새면 금방 끝나요;; 더 늘려주세요 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
