### 5/5 — Townsmen from Android to iOS

*2026-07-09, version 1.14.8*

I played this game back when I was still using my android tablet >_< now that I own an iPhone, I immediately downloaded it when I found it here in the App Store. Thank you, devs.

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2026-05-22, version 1.14.8*

My favourite game years ago was The Settlers, and I was looking for something similar. I found it here. 
There is enough complexity to keep me interested, I have been playing for a week now, and I keep finding new ways of doing things. 
I would thoroughly recommend the game!

### 1/5 — Очень настойчиво просят оценить игру

### 3/5 — Bien, mais coupe la musique

*2026-05-20*

Le jeu est bien. C’est un clone du jeu PC settlers. 
Je voudrai y jouer dans les transports. Mais le jeu coupe la musique : du coup, je n’y joue jamais :(

Svp, les de développeurs: quand la musique est éteinte dans le jeu, laissez la musique de l’iPhone !
