Have actually downloaded virtual villagers 3-6 because I love this game so much. My one reason for the 4-star, and I’m sure it’s surprising…PLEASE let me watch more ads for energy!! I sometimes miss multiple days, and when I come back, I have 60+ villagers needing the youth potion. Or they die. I would gladly watch more ads to save my villagers. So please please remove the advertisement cap. Wouldn’t that make you more money?! ### 4/5 — There is a glitch on winter island *2026-08-14, version 1.12.20* Software company wont help. The anchor disappeared when I picked it up. Spent a couple hrs trying to find it. I can’t complete ice fishing puzzle. So I can’t finish the game. Very disappointing. Software just referred me to the online forum when I asked for help ### 4/5 — One of my favourite games *2026-08-07, version 1.12.20* The game is great. I’ve been playing them for many years even before I was allowed to have a cell phone. My only thing is that I wish there was a speed up button. Hopefully they can implement this in their future games. ### 3/5 — Really like, but…. *2026-08-06, version 1.12.20* I really like this game but I hate how many tech points are required to increase tech levels. I basically have nothing to do but wait for the tech points to add up, which could be weeks. Also, Tech points are way too expensive to buy to move the game along. ### 2/5 — Tasks take too long *2026-08-04, version 1.12.20* I’ve been playing since vV1 and I must say the enjoyment is decreasing because it’s clear they’re attempting cash grabs by making you buy lava stones or the lemur to speed tasks up, especially the last few puzzles. The creators should know they’ll lose loyal players like me because nobody has the time for this ### 3/5 — Please fix the bug on the fragments *2026-07-26, version 1.12.17* It’s a fun game… but there’s this mission that I think is bugged. You have to dig up fragments and I swear I’ve made like 60 ropes at least and the fragments like never get dug. Always magic, nothing, or Oil, or crush rock… it’s so annoying. I just want so badly to finish this puzzle so I can move on to the next puzzle ### 4/5 — It takes too long to get tech points and to move up further into the game. *2026-07-19, version 1.12.17* Don’t get me wrong. I love this game. I love playing it, but it takes too long to get tech points. And it’s infuriating. And it’s like my villagers are getting older and almost dying, and I barely have any tech points to move on. In this game, so can you please fix that to make it a little bit easier or maybe so, it doesn’t take long to acquire tech points to move one in the game plz and thanks ### 3/5 — Has potential, but major flaws present *2026-07-12, version 1.12.17* Children take ages to grow up, adverts watched for rewards don’t actually give you them, and the guidance on what to do is minimal and the lack of tutorial at the beginning makes everything confusing ### 4/5 — Spend real money *2026-07-03, version 1.12.17* While this game is great to explore and play the tech and lava take forever and you spend real money, if that’s what you want to do then do it or just wait months to get anywhere once you have done ten puzzles. ### 4/5 — Français … *2026-06-29* En français ce serait genial … **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for your interest in the game! We're aiming to include as many languages as possible in the future! ### 3/5 — Issues *2026-06-20, version 1.12.16* When I leave the app and come back hours later the villagers are standing around not doing tasks and it’s very frustrating imagine being at research level 3 only to leave over night and come back to no tech points gained at all and I’m trying to get my spiritual points up this is very frustrating I worked so hard to get those research points up first I’m seriously about to delete if this doesn’t get resolved! Spoke with support nothing has changed ### 2/5 — Time and prices *2026-06-10, version 1.12.16* The time it takes to complete tasks is crazy you’d have to play the game often to level up and all the items in the shop is super expensive. ### 2/5 — Pacing needs adjustment *2026-06-05, version 1.12.16* I have played many virtual villagers installments over the years. One thing I like about this one is the ability to use youth divine power so my most valued villagers do not pass away. With that said, I realize there is an effort to monetize the game, but for some of the puzzles, the pacing is glacial. Like why do we need to wait a full day for 2 jellyfish to appear? Why do we spend countless hours to get the blueberries growing, only to make the blueberry grunt ONE time, then blue paint and that’s it? Why aren’t there more ongoing uses for all the ingredients? Tbh there is hardly any point to collecting much of anything besides vines and bamboo more than the about 20x you may require them for a puzzle. Why are the lava stone rewards for solving puzzles so paltry? I could go on, but the basic is I think they failed tremendously on the pacing, and there is really no micro to speak of (like teaching kids). Also no likes or dislikes beyond your starting villagers. ### 3/5 — Glitch *2026-06-03, version 1.12.16* The pause button just saves the game. I need to pause the game before my whole village is gone ### 4/5 — Super fun and addictive…but those tech points *2026-05-28, version 1.12.16* I’ve played an earlier version of this game yearsssss ago ! Seen an ad about VV6 and it brought back old memories lol I had to download it…once I opened it up I’ve been playing it non stop! I love it …the only 2 complaints I have is 1. There’s no help/walkthrough in the game so I was wandering around when I first started (ofc I’ve since then googled and found all sorts of help) I just wish I got that help when I first started I feel like I would be farther along .2nd those tech points! Sheesh I’m stuck on pretty much all my puzzles bcz i need 6 digits to get level 2 spirituality ..like I have to chose between having farmers or just have the whole village doing research so i can get the points so I can move forward .i have an entire group researching rn and its still accumulating slowly. And 30$ to buy the tech point or stones is just not feasible for me rn . Just something to consider ..perhaps lowering the in game cost to purchase or just making it more attainable to get tech points ..I can spend $10 on a lemur and it is a 100% chance that they find stuff but it doesn’t mean they’ll find tech points all the time 🤷🏾‍♀️ ### 4/5 — Fun game *2026-05-20, version 1.12.16* Love it so far. Only wish I could see who the children’s parents are, like the tree of life game, so I can keep track of who is who. 💕 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-08-23, version 1.12.20* Need too many tech points and takes a very long time to get them without paying money. Need more clues to figure out puzzles without using the hints. ### 1/5 — Worst one ever made *2026-08-03, version 1.12.20* Skip this! And read the reviews! No way this has 4.8 stars. I LOVE all the virtual villagers, except for this one. It’s impossible to beat. It’s the first one I quit and had no aspirations on finishing. I made it pretty far and played the game for a long time, but there seemed to be no end it sight. Without help from the internet, I wouldn’t have made it as far as I did. Pass on this and save yourself the frustrating. Do better developers! This sucked ### 1/5 — Absolutely ridiculous *2026-07-25, version 1.12.17* I have bin waiting 4EVER for the blue berry bush to grow berries!!!! Like over a wk…!!! & I still don’t have them… is there a glitch or is this by design??? I’m beyond frustrated now… & when I make a comment u say to contact support via email… !!! Which believe it or not.. I don’t have a clue how to access… haven’t used it to communicate that way in over a decade… 😠Guess I should just quit.. ! If it’s not one thing… it’s another..! It’s not enjoyable for me anymore.. & I’ve bin thru the previous VV’s.. several times each.. now I’m bored of them & I gave 7 a go & deleted not long after & won’t go back..!! Seriously disappointed in something I used to enjoy.. very much..!!! ### 1/5 — I wish I could give zero stars *2026-07-16, version 1.12.17* This game sucks I’ve spent a lil money on it too it’s horrible u can’t progress unless u play every day and spend $ horrible I’m deleting ### 1/5 — Terrible customer support *2026-07-11, version 1.12.17* I’ve been trying for months now to train a master healer to continue with the puzzles. I’ve reached out to support several times and received the same generic message despite stating I believe it’s a technical issue at this point. Horrible advice to recommend a long standing player (at least 10 years) to either purchase stones to purchase a villager with this skill mastered, or simply continue trying after almost a YEAR of trying with the same villager by reviving them/ making them young again. Maybe this bad review will get me an actual human response. ### 1/5 — The countdown *2026-06-13, version 1.12.16* I cannot gain any spiritual points. Every time I check the timer it goes longer without replenishing the power. My villagers have starved after upgrading farming because I cannot clear the Beatle off the farming patch. ### 1/5 — Lavastones robbed *2026-06-10, version 1.12.16* Just spent 80 lavastones reviving villagers and they were never brought back to village and talking to support its like they're reading my problem in a different language 😒 ### 1/5 — Game Gets Stuck *2026-06-05, version 1.12.16* The game started off well, but itself but then it reset. It didn’t lose progress but you could no longer proceed. Tech points wouldn’t accumulate. Life cycles won’t complete. You open it and the villagers are in the exact same place. ### 1/5 — Constant restart *2026-05-26, version 1.12.16* Not fun ### 1/5 — Review to remind me to not download again *2026-05-19, version 1.12.16* The game has only gotten harder and more cash grabby. I played two years ago and I progressed way further than I could in the same amount of time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-22, version 1.12.17* Loved the cast ret island. Excited for the second game ### 5/5 — I have been playing this series since I was a kid and I love the series still going strong but… *2026-07-21, version 1.12.17* Training the villagers in this game is pointless because they never stick to what I assign them ever. Every time I log back in and play the villagers are ALL at the fire pit and THEN go to where they’re assigned but this is less a problem in Virtual Villagers 7. Besides the villagers not doing what they’re assigned and annoying training I love this series still. ### 5/5 — Love these games! *2026-06-10, version 1.12.16* I have played these games since I was a kid so fun love a puzzle game! The customer service was great if you have troubles with the game but these things happen with small companies. It’s a slow moving game but I love coming back everyday and looking after my people :)) ### 5/5 — Temporarily offload for storage. *2026-05-26, version 1.12.16* I need some storage, so I temporarily offload it. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-05-16, version 1.12.16* Virtual villagers was the first game I ever played on a computer, it became an obsession. I have played almost every version, this just makes me feel so nostalgic and happy! Thank you for continuing to update and create more versions! I love your game ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-05-11, version 1.12.16* Lowkey super fun :3! ### 5/5 — Love all the Virtual Villagers games *2026-05-05, version 1.12.16* I love trying to solve the puzzles without having to go to cheat sheets. I really enjoy the new hint button though. It’s always a great game. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-04-24, version 1.12.16* If you need help use YouTube trust me it’s worth it ### 5/5 — RATING *2026-04-13, version 1.12.16* It’s really good it reminds me of the second one just more updated and better amazing ! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-04-06, version 1.12.16* When will the VV7 Will be available on iOS?
