Can this be fixed? ### 4/5 — Problem buying full version *2021-05-31, version 1.2.0* So I’ve been trying to buy the full version for awhile now ! Please help me I want to complete the game ### 3/5 — 为什么完整版全都买不了 *2021-05-30* 买完整版的页面根本打不开 ### 3/5 — One Thing *2021-04-19, version 1.2.0* Hi LDW Team, I’ve been an avid player of the Virtual Families/Villagers/Fish Tycoon games since like 2014 and I loved the concept and feel of VV5. Unfortunately I don’t have the money to purchase full versions. I played this a lot when I first downloaded it, and as such I found that I converted all of the blue heathens and ended up with around 15-17 villagers even though the maximum breeding population allowed is 9 or so. I ran out of children, and all of my villagers were well above the fertile limit of 50 years old by the time enough villagers had died off to have more children. I never had 6 kids to complete the totem (which is nearly impossible with a max population of nine) and won’t be able to complete the game — I really don’t want to start over! Just something I noticed. Keep up the great work! ### 2/5 — 只是体验版不能增加人口玩不下去 *2020-12-12* 这是体验版不能增加人口，得买完整版才可以 ### 3/5 — Cannot buy full version *2020-12-08, version 1.2.0* I have limited version, and I cannot go forward in a game. It is fun, interesting game to play with, but almost impossible to play. ### 4/5 — I really enjoy this game! ...however... *2020-09-08, version 1.2.0* I really really enjoy this game! However I do not like the language used regarding the “Heathens” the term “nonbelievers” would work better but idk dude,, I still really enjoy this game! It’s basically the full game but with like limited population (u can only have like?? 9 villagers at a time??) which is valid! I get it! And it’s still really really fun to play! Also the buttons... because of how the screen is cropped in the game, it’s hard to tap the “details” button for my people. Super annoying but still! Good game! I give it 4 stars bc of the annoying stuff like language and the buttons, but it’s good! ### 4/5 — I am sad;( *2019-04-22, version 1.2.0* It's so sad they died there a familly i am super sad. 🙂🙂 i llved them. 🥰 but i will praise ### 2/5 — Pas mal *2019-03-19* Le jeux est pas mal j’ai bien aimé mais ce qui est dommage c’est que en peux pas avoir d’enfants alors c’est difficile de démolir le totem du lac et puis les boules du super pouvoirs ils arrivent au brouillard et elles s’arrêtent je suis je suis une grande fan de ce jeu j’ai joué du 1er au 5 mais je suis un peu déçu ### 2/5 — Glitching *2018-11-07, version 1.2.0* Normally I like VV games. My issue with this one is every time I go on all my progress is lost (items collected, people converted, etc) but my people are still aging. It’s very frustrating because I cannot pass puzzles since I lose progress with masters and such. ### 2/5 — Oh boy *2017-10-16, version 1.2.0* See, I used to play this game when I was younger ALL the time. I just thought about it right now and realized how messed up it is. Converting people to your religion, and acting like they are the enemy if they don't convert is messed up. I don't think this is a message we should give to children. ### 5/5 — VV6 *2017-09-22, version 1.2.0* Any sign of new game, I've been a big supporter of the franchise just kind of tired of the same old game. VV5 was nice with the masked people but I'm just looking for a newer challenge ### 3/5 — GG guys *2016-12-24, version 1.0.1* Maybe putting the power of god in our hands is a little bit... overwhelming. ### 5/5 — Tips *2016-10-15, version 1.0.1* If you put bees on the bush, it grows 20 food Use your lightning power on the pain totem to turn it off for a little while Use lightning to scare away heathens or bees what ever works ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Upgrade *2024-01-24, version 1.2.0* I’m playing the lite version and trying to update to full version but kept being led to a website that does not work. How do I upgrade from my current game? ### 1/5 — 全面屏不能全屏显示？ *2022-02-03* 全面屏手机不能玩 ### 1/5 — 只能玩部分 *2021-09-08* 玩到一半提示你要买完整版！问题是还买不了、游戏进行不下去了 ### 1/5 — racist ?! *2020-09-08, version 1.2.0* used to love this game when i was younger but now that i know more about my native american history can we please acknowledge that this is super ignorant ... it’s painting these tribes as savages and practically encouraging children to think that other spiritualities ( natives in particular ) are violent... gross gross gross ### 1/5 — 建筑了所有的房屋依然不能增加人口，还是10几个人，为什么 *2020-08-13* 建了所有房屋依然不能增加人口，不知道游戏是否存在问题 ### 1/5 — Horrible *2018-02-21, version 1.2.0* Horrible ### 1/5 — Not possible *2015-07-22, version 1.0.1* Its no fun to play if i can't breed my villagers and now its even harder to solve all the puzzles which makes it a lot less fun ### 1/5 — Population limit?! *2015-02-12, version 1.0.1* Can't get over 9 villagers, therefore can't complete all puzzles. Very disappointing! 👎Two thumbs down👎 and only one star⭐️! (Only because i can't give zero stars!) ### 1/5 — Sad *2014-01-12, version 1.0.1* I am sad because my villagers die when it is on pause!!!😭 ### 1/5 — HELP!!! *2013-12-31, version 1.0.1* I can't even download it! It says its already downloaded but it doesn't show up on my home screen! What do I do?!?! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2024-07-27, version 1.2.0* Can’t wait for Vv villagers 6 ### 5/5 — Can you give another virtual villagers *2023-10-07, version 1.2.0* I never wanted virtual villagers to end I would really enjoy a newer V.Villagers just like these that would make a lot of your fans very happy ### 5/5 — 人口问题 *2022-05-31* 人口发展不上去、有的任务完不成、希望改正一下，和电脑版一样才好 ### 5/5 — 无法下载完整版 *2022-05-21* 不能直接在app store里提供完整版的购买吗？游戏里的购买链接根本打不开！ ### 5/5 — I *2021-02-23, version 1.2.0* This is a amazing game it’s very fun and hard a little you have to use your brain some bit to get good at this game and to enjoy this was amazing I love it. ### 5/5 — Possible villagers 6? *2020-10-15, version 1.2.0* You guys have to make more virtual villagers games. They are so fun ### 5/5 — More chapters (SPOIL AlERT I think) *2020-05-10, version 1.2.0* Hello, I am just here to add more chapters if your stuck, by the way I love the music (chapter 6:the villager’s goal is to try to take care of a very big ancient cat looking guardian, chapter 7:the people are trying a way to help a very huge flower to bloom but instead the flower is dead so they are trying to make it come to life, chapter 8:the player has to make the villagers find a way to get into this huge cave but instead they have to make a ship to sail there and also when they find it they have to try to open the cave and when they get in it, they will read a sad truth about the island they lived on, and chapter 9:the villagers have to find a way to get all of the elemental powers, but they first have to find a way to get these elements in it’s own place) thank you for reading! I hope this will help y’all if y’all are thinking of some new chapters...they are chapters... ok bye! ❤️❤️❤️🦧❤️❤️❤️🦧🤝🦧 ### 5/5 — I love this..! *2020-04-24, version 1.2.0* I have looked for games like these and honestly couldnt find any that were good. My villagers always stay alive and I love how unique the graphics and stats they have are. I enjoy collectimbg items and i’m making much progress currently ### 5/5 — 一个非常棒的游戏 *2019-07-14* 希望这个类型的游戏能翻译成中文，相信人气会更高，谢谢 ### 5/5 — It’s hard, but great *2018-01-29, version 1.2.0* Look, all VV games are really hard. In a few you can even click the easy switch. (Origins) but if you are going to scream and cry over this game, idk what you are doing here. VV is a really great strategy game, as hard as it should be. It shouldn’t be made easier for a few people who are used to easy games. Yeah, your people die. If you are going to sleep turn off time or slow it down. Saves you A LOT of heartache. Don’t leave a bad review of it being unfair if clearly LOTS other people can play this with little complaint.
