Graphismes sympa, mécanisme simple et efficace, pas besoin d’achats supplémentaires sauf pour retirer les pubs si vous le souhaitez (ce que j’ai fait, aussi pour soutenir les développeurs). Les scénarios sont variés et les modes de jeu agréables. Je recommande ! ### 5/5 — Топ *2026-05-21* Обонятельная игра! ### 3/5 — Jogo largado *2026-05-20* O jogo é muito bom, mas chega num limite que não tem mais o que fazer. Deveriam dar continuidade com atualizações, possibilidade de atacar reinos vizinhos ou enviar soldados para missões. No momento não vale a pena perder tempo jogando, com 1 atualização a cada 2 anos em média. ### 5/5 — Great ! *2026-05-13* Very well, balanced gameplay, and I really like the optimum level of complexity, not too hard, neither too easy. And the animations are so cute 😍😍 ### 5/5 — Доработка *2026-04-28* Добавьте ворота когда строишь стены и корабли ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-04-12, version 1.14.9* So addicting and fun I love it ### 5/5 — Espérance d’une mise à jour *2026-04-10* Jeux génial c’est vrai que la création d’une école où de bâtiments scientifiques ayant un lien avec des technologies serait génial. ### 5/5 — Эх! *2026-04-01* Такую отличную игру забросили развивать… ### 2/5 — Confusing and Limited *2026-03-23, version 1.14.9* Started playing and immediately didn’t like it. Very limiting, with no way to move or demolish anything, no way to interact with people, and very unclear on how to check on or manage resources. Also, the women apparently don’t count towards the population, so they are uncountable and not interactive. It’s unclear if they do tasks or not, bc you can’t assign them anything or see what they’re up to, though the sprites appear to be working. Kinda sexist and pretty confusing ### 5/5 — Game is awesome! *2026-03-14, version 1.14.9* I played this game in jail when they gave us tablets in 2020 and recently started playing again how I’ve missed this game killed a lot of time playing . And now back at it again as a free man . Wooooohoooo ### 5/5 — Game *2026-03-13, version 1.14.9* I have been playing this game for years. I love it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Atualização em falta *2026-08-10* Acho que pelos anos que esse jogo está no mercado deveria ter uma atualização melhor e de mais qualidade! ### 1/5 — Broken Game *2026-07-12* Every 10 Seconds there is a bandit raid, Every 30 Seconds there is a Plague in town, Used to be a great game back in old days. Too many ads in freemium version makes the progression system render broken. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-05-15, version 1.14.14* This is a great game but the frequency of having to repair buildings is not realistic when considered against the money generating ability of the township. As the township grows in size you spend most of your time going around repairing building or watching adverts to generate coins. It appears the intent of the game is to get you to use your real money to buy coins to keep up in the game. ### 1/5 — 広告 *2026-03-18* 広告が酷かった ### 1/5 — Slow, unclear *2026-02-22, version 1.14.9* This game sucks. I wish I could find good resource building games like we used to have- I love Castle Story and I played Here Be Monsters on Facebook. Nothing is remotely close to those world building games.... you can't do anything to interact with the world and none of the interactions make sense. ### 1/5 — What???? *2026-02-16, version 1.14.9* I downloaded the game a few years ago and had deleted it. I just downloaded it again, and I see why I deleted it. It is literally unplayable. I don’t want to watch YouTube videos to learn what to do. If it takes that much to even know how to harvest crops or work with animals, the game is not well developed. I can’t even clear trees. Deleting for good. ### 1/5 — (;´д｀) *2026-02-07* 楽しいけど、とにかく鉄が足りなさすぎる、どうして鉄だけ全然ないの？金槌、ノコギリがメチャクチャいるのに、鉄が無い(;´д｀)って事は建物が建てれないって事ですわ！ ### 1/5 — Донат *2026-01-21* Я хочу оплатить, но живу в России, дайте мне возможность убрать рекламу и все фишки сделать за деньги в России без эпл пей ### 1/5 — Was going good *2025-09-18, version 1.14.9* Was doing the trial and instantly uninstalled once I noticed forced ads and nothing in return congrats in 10 sec games forcing ad on you enjoy unstoppable ads ### 1/5 — Boring *2025-07-29* Why don’t you guys add more stuff to the game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game so far. *2026-08-06, version 1.14.14* Really loving this game. I can play at my own pace without having to join an alliance or time my online moments with events. I can really chill out while I’m playing. I love that you can start a new game at any time and then go back to a saved one. I’ve only been playing a few days… but 5 stars so far! Still loving this game. Still giving it 5 stars! I do have one request? Would it be possible to have the option to dismiss a quest you either cannot or don’t want to do? rather than it staying in the queue for ever. Thank you. ### 5/5 — One of the best! *2026-08-02, version 1.14.14* I’ve adored this game for years and I’m eager to get it on the Switch. I love the music so so much, and the stimulating strategy isn’t too overwhelming or stressful for me-I find it rather peaceful even in its chaos. ### 5/5 — 같은 아이디로 아이폰과 아이패드에서 다운받을 때 왜 다른건지 *2026-07-21* 늘 타운스맨으로 돌아오는 찐팬입니다 14년은 플레이한거같아요... 아이폰에서 잘 키운 마을을 아이패드로도 이어서 하고싶은데 아이패드로 다운받으니 깨끗한 백지로 다시 깔였습니다... 방법이없을까요 ### 5/5 — Great game so far. *2026-07-20, version 1.14.14* Really loving this game. I can play at my own pace without having to join an alliance or time my online moments with events. I can really chill out while I’m playing. I love that you can start a new game at any time and then go back to a saved one. I’ve only been playing a few days… but 5 stars so far! ### 5/5 — 67 *2026-07-14* Построил деревню потом пришли бандиты рагромили деревню потом я отправил за ними войска потом пошёл домой и скачал эту игру и начал играть ### 5/5 — Easy game *2026-07-07, version 1.14.14* Well balanced without frustration ### 5/5 — Отличная игра! *2026-07-04, version 1.14.14* Мне очень понравился геймплей вашей игры, очень высокая графика, интересно играть, все реалистично, все как я люблю! Спасибо за впечатление! Удачи в разработке обновлений! ### 5/5 — Почти как *2026-06-25* Я недавно узнал про серию игр stronghold, но денег у меня не было, поэтому я ждал летнюю распродажу в стиме. Ради интереса решил поискать в ап сторе похожие игры и наткнулся на нее. Здесь механики игры почти такие же, как и в stronghold. Отличная игра ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-06-16, version 1.14.14* Been playing this game for years! ### 5/5 — 好玩 *2026-06-03, version 1.14.14* 推荐 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
