Payant

Faire tout un tuto pour apprendre à jouer pendant une bonne heure à la fin de celui-ci te demander de payer pour jouer … aucune inscription pour te dire que c’est juste une démo du jeux .

Better before you buy

This game seems like it should be interesting, but what you discover when you pay to unlock longer games is that the tribute thresholds are based almost entirely on your production output. So however well you are doing makes no difference once the game rescales the numbers on the next tribute, in fact it just gives you less tolerance for bad luck. Game feels completely pointless when you realize your build, your luck, and your strategy (or lack thereof), has no effect on the outcome.

Super Spiel aber ausbaufähig

Ich liebe das Spiel und dass immer neue puzzles etc. eingebaut werden. Ich hoffe auf mehr Updates, denn gerade ist die Conquest Version sehr generft, die gegnerische Truppen entdecken kaum und das auf brutal… und hoffentlich mehr puzzles oder auch campaign!

Great game, but could use some balancing

Great game, and really happy with it for the most part, but in the “harder” modes, the events tend to be either very easy to deal with, or simply game breaking. I’d like to have kept playing it, but it’s just too frustrating being at the mercy of the RNG.

Классная стратегия

Атмосферная, стильная, красивая стратегия. Множество режимов. Понравилась)

Пару моментов, озвученных в другом коментарии, хотел бы пояснить: Здесь все не настолько однобоко) Зверей не обязательно убивать, можно одомашнить, что гораздо выгоднее, конечно же. Подати королю можно отключить перед началом игры, даже в бесплатной версии.
