### 4/5 — Unable to restore my purchases

*2026-07-23*

My app errors out when trying to restore purchase asking to download a different version but even that is not working

### 3/5 — Kauf wird storniert

*2026-06-13*

Ist ein liebevoll gemachtes Spiel, nur leider wird nach jedem Neustart eine Internetverbindung benötigt um die Käufe abzufragen. Völlig unnötig und machen andere Spiele besser. 

PS: Für die kostenlose und die gekaufte Version werden zusätzlich Daten runtergeladen, ungefähr 2,3 GB.

### 5/5 — Проверка лицензии

*2026-03-14, version 1.3*

Уважаемые разработчики, это моя любимая игра. Спасибо вам! Есть один минус - это проверка покупки через интернет. Играть без интернета можно, но зайти в игру без интернета нельзя. Можно это исправить? Я часто беру игру с собой в дорогу. Спасибо за ваш труд!

### 2/5 — Cloud services don’t work, essential

*2026-02-10*

Would be a 10/10 otherwise

### 1/5 — Loss of content

*2026-02-09*

As a purchaser of the original, full version a number of years ago, I was glad when this new version informed me I could still access the full game I had paid for by re-downloading it. As other reviewers have noted, however, it is not possible to download the earlier version, and my access to the content I paid for originally has therefore been taken from me.

### 5/5 — Rewards Sync

*2026-02-01*

I tried to sync my rewards throught multiplayer tab but its not working just stuck on sign up screen

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2025-01-30*

I bought the full version as I loved playing the game on my pc and figured I’d buy it to play at work but it took the full version away for some reason and when I try to restore purchase it just does not work.

### 2/5 — Not very good.

*2024-12-28*

Thought I would at least try the first few free hours, but didn’t even make it through those. The card game attack is not interesting to me at all.

### 1/5 — Bought the game once and have to buy it again?

*2024-11-17*

I previously purchased the premium version of the game before it was pulled from the AppStore and replaced with this one. The app is nice by telling me to go to my purchases and download the previous version but that version is just not available anymore and isn’t accessible in my history… Probably because it has been entirely purged from the store. Unless this app in particular is specially hidden from my other purchases, I just feel scammed of £10 at this point and don’t even want to give them more money…

### 1/5 — Already purchased

*2024-04-25*

I own this and now gog is telling me to buy it again. I’ve followed up with Apple support. Following a re grant of purchase the app still doesn’t work.  Given the lack of developer response here I will be contacting cdpr directly for resolution.
