And puzzles? Yeah, you can’t complete them all. Max population and all that. Terrible shame. Great game other than that. ### 3/5 — Population limited *2023-03-25, version 1.2.1* Love the game also played on computer, but population is limited to 9. Iv maxed all research and still can’t complete last three puzzles. You need at least 25 villagers to honor the tree. An update would be great. ### 3/5 — I love this game but… *2022-09-20, version 1.2.1* All my villagers day in almost a day evn if i reguraly check in on them . I need the full version so i can increase population to keep it from happening but it wont let me do the full version it sends me somewhere and it says error. Pls help ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2022-09-19, version 1.2.1* What’s the point in “getting” to choose your village people when they aren’t all the ones you choose when you start?! Like no I don’t want a child or I would of picked a child I wanted the people and ages that I chose and it’s annoying when they aren’t even the same, and why can you click on their names like you can change it but no keyboard shows up- I’m on iPhone btw ### 3/5 — Can’t get full version through lite *2022-02-03, version 1.2.1* I clicked on the button to buy full version , it sent me to a website that takes forever to load, when it does it says an error occurred, I went to the App Store and bought the full version (now I have both) and the full version doesn’t have all my people or achievements. I need help because I don’t want to restart, but I do need more than 9 villagers. ### 3/5 — Purchasing *2022-01-14* Hi! I want to purchase the full version of this, but it keep saying “error” and i can’t purchase it. I need help ### 2/5 — 现在还有没有人玩了？ *2021-12-23* 这个也是试玩版吗？ ### 3/5 — It okay *2021-05-17, version 1.2.1* It's a good game just don't like how they give u puzzles u can't complete unless u have the full version...like I can't complete the feast without 20 villagers and the max amount of people I can have is 9 so it's impossible until I get the full game and I don't know if it's just me but the link to the full game says unavailable when I click it ### 3/5 — :/ *2021-03-26, version 1.2.1* I love this game so much. But I can't accomplish the rest of the game because I have the free version. I would love it if I could buy the full version in the app and keep the village I've already created. I'm gonna have to stop playing because I can't do any more accomplishments. I've bought the full version but I don't wanna have to go through everything I've accomplished once again. :/ ### 4/5 — Good *2021-03-15, version 1.2.1* Use to play this game all the time it’s a fun game but they need to update ### 3/5 — Issues *2021-01-17, version 1.2.1* The games fine except for the fact that it won’t let any of my villagers pick up collectibles at all idk what to do about it ### 4/5 — Help With Getting Full Version *2020-05-18, version 1.2.1* I got this version of the game (lite) and I love it. I’m also very far in the game and want to get the full version so I can have more villagers but every time I click on the ‘buy full version’ link the page can’t be found. Do I have to download the full version from App Store and start over? Help. ### 4/5 — ⬇️ *2020-03-08, version 1.2.1* I’m having this weird thing with the food. It apparently started at 360! Uninstalling and reinstalling works! ### 3/5 — Help *2019-02-10, version 1.2.1* I can’t find the dry grass for fire 🔥 Help me please ### 3/5 — Can't Upgrade to Full Version *2016-07-29, version 1.0.1* Don't get this free version if you want more than 9 villagers. They don't have an option to upgrade your version. You have to buy a totally different app and start over. ### 3/5 — Babies *2016-02-18, version 1.0.1* I can have babies now but they are always girl. That mean I can't produce anymore babies without guys so please fix it if its a bug. ### 4/5 — Help for others *2016-01-20, version 1.0.1* To those of you that questioning the time lapse in this game it can be stopped. If you go to the Options button on your home screen it shows the game speed. It shows slow,normal, and fast, but it also shows pause. The down sides to using this button are the growth of your people & the actions they do. I just want to help if you're having problems with the time span in the game ### 4/5 — So addictive but needs an update *2015-06-21, version 1.0.1* It's a great app but on iPhone you can't download the full version therefore you can complete the last three puzzles it needs an update so it can be supported on iPhone as well as the computer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 开心！ *2020-07-07* 很开心！终于可以在手上玩啦！ ### 1/5 — it crashis all the time *2014-11-01, version 1.0.1* I used to like it but know it crashes when I just get in sometimes if not it crashes when I do tech stuff ### 1/5 — 人只有9个 *2014-06-12* 房子都建造了,但是村民就只有9个😂😂😂 ### 1/5 — So HARD!!! *2013-08-28, version 1.0.1* This is such a hard game my guys died within a our! Make it so food last forever and u can name people and they don't die so easily ### 1/5 — Always crashes before you get to play!!! *2013-01-12* Fun at first when I could actually play! After one day of having it all it does is load, then show like a "situation" that happened in the village that i had to fix, then crash after like 2 seconds! It is very annoying because I liked that game but was bummed when I had to delete it because it stopped working. Maybe I will try the other versions of vv. ### 1/5 — Loved it until.. *2013-01-03, version 1.0.1* I found out that nine is the MAXIMUM limit for the population!!?!? They need to raise it to like 15, or have something were you can increase the population with tec points or something?!? Please! Thanks ### 1/5 — Keeps restarting by itself *2012-06-09, version 1.0.1* At first, I enjoyed playing this game but once it started to restarting by itself causing me to lose all my tech points, my well skilled villagers that I "trained" really hard, I started to hate it. It restarted over 5 times even after I re download it ### 1/5 — Buggy *2011-09-06, version 1.0.0* Crashes constantly. Still haven't played because it won't run. ### 1/5 — Bad *2011-07-24, version 1.0.0* It crashes so it's rubbish. ### 2/5 — Impossible to win *2023-06-27, version 1.2.1* You need 20 people to complete the game but itll only let you have 9 unless you buy the full version which isn’t working anymore. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — легенда *2026-03-11* в детстве часто играла.. странно что эта игра не популярна, она чудесная ### 5/5 — Fair *2026-02-09, version 1.2.1* Fair. I think that I have played once all, but I am not sure so I played it again. I made it. I uninstall it for some storage, may be one day I might revisit it to reinstall about this one. ### 5/5 — This game is my childhood and is amazing *2020-08-29, version 1.2.1* Legit, there are no ads, you can play pretty much the whole game and without too many limits. You do get a limit on the population you can have, but still. It’s, AMAZING. ### 5/5 — Favorite Game *2019-01-15, version 1.2.1* I always download this game on every new smart device I get. Never gets old. ### 5/5 — Good game *2018-11-25, version 1.2.1* It’s an ok game but I wish that the demo version would at least allow u to have more that 9 people maybe at least 15 as the highest. It’s also alittle harder than the other games but that’s good. ### 5/5 — the population reached *2018-02-15* Why the large population just 9 people.it say the full version can be large population..... ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2017-04-12, version 1.0.1* I have played all of the games and I'm finally on the 4th, so exited can't wait to finish, so far so good!!! ### 5/5 — VV4 free *2016-08-02, version 1.0.1* Ther's problem ### 5/5 — Flippin love this game! *2015-08-10, version 1.0.1* I play this on my tablet and it's a great game. I have high hopes for the apple version. ### 5/5 — My favorite one *2015-06-09, version 1.0.1* Probably because of the pretty setting and I like the tree. I also like Villagers 3 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
