HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (371 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Price and subscription32%

18 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Felt like a waste of money.
★★★★★ Played over an hour of tutorial just to find out the majority of features and main game is paywalled.
★★★★★ “Nah, just make one or two modes free, and the rest cost money, but don't tell them that until the last second.
Limits, credits, locked features18%

10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The funny part is that it doesn't even do that for you, you just get the “campaign” and other things are still locked behind paywalls.
★★★★★ Got an hour of fun out of the tutorial and then realized you have to pay for the base game.
★★★★★ But not anymore—now it's called "peaceful mode" and is locked behind the paywall.
Lost data, sync, backup9%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This game is made to lose.
★★★★★ Also, it doesn't sync my game process progress with iCloud.
★★★★★ Deleted the second I saw it purely out of the principle of lying
Worse after an update9%

★★★★★ Update: My original review stands.
★★★★★ Plus, the update info in not written in English.
★★★★★ This latest update put "peaceful mode" behind a paywall.

★★★★★ The tutorial made the game nice last 2 were hard but asides from that there is too many bugs in the game when you reset it shows the past stats you had so on causing it to show wrong numbers 2nd would be wanting…
★★★★★ For starters, I was hooked to this game when I first started playing it, but if you play the tutorial, they fail to make it clear that you have to pay for it after the tutorial.
★★★★★ Mechanics are easily broken and exploited.
Wrong or poor results5%

★★★★★ Do not get me wrong, I like the idea of punishing games, but some of these stages are practically impossible unless you literally have a notebook out to write out your plan.
★★★★★ One wrong move and you lose.
Crashes and freezes4%

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Please add an endless mode 5★, Sep 18, 2026
  • The only problem is that after like 15 years I can see it getting a little repetitive and I personally think it needs a little more rewards 4★, Sep 1, 2026
  • I just wish it was a little bit cheaper the DLC. 5★, Jun 21, 2026
  • I think the developer has a good idea with mixing up what the requirements are for completing a region but some of the time based ones I think need adjustment. 3★, Jun 5, 2026
  • I just wish there was an endless mode type of thing. 4★, May 18, 2026
  • Also more options for custom games would be great, mainly barbarian spawn settings(low, high, etc.) also being able to fight a ai enemy while in skirmish mode would be cool. 5★, Apr 15, 2026
  • I wish other games had this as it's too much sometimes to remember agency bonuses for specific buildings, especially once you buy the full game and unlock the different cultures. 5★, Apr 12, 2026
  • Would love to see more warfare aspects but you can tell the devs put work into this game. 5★, Feb 18, 2026

★★★★★ I paid for the full game, it's a very fun game.
★★★★★ I paid for the full game on this, it's *so* relaxing.
★★★★★ This game is super fun but one add on would make it even better.
Worth the money14%

23 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This makes it barely worth it to use either of these two deposit structures, especially since it means the Food Cellar & Runestone need to be filled twice as often as the others (which is already tedious even when the…
★★★★★ Great game had fun in the tutorial but I was not expecting that I had to buy the game to play just the campaign portion!
★★★★★ But is it worth it to buy the full game?
Easy to use12%

Стих

Игра огонь! Но я не могу ее купить потому что у меня айфон..

★★★★★Oct 6, 2026
Kinda sucks

Every time you spawn you get the worst spawn imaginable, just claustrophobic and full of tiles you cant build on making everything feel a bit ugly, plus you can start with a tornado on turn 3 and get wiped as soon as you start the game

★★★★★Sep 25, 2026
Too Difficult

After playing for days, I still cannot make it past the first level in campaign. rewards system is very confusing. i'll be chugging along and suddenly my food drops t0 -30. or the popultwion crhashes. no idea how to fix whenthat happens

★★★★★Sep 18, 2026
Great game

I paid for the full game, it's a very fun game. Please add an endless mode

★★★★★Sep 1, 2026
Really good game

It is so good. It is cool that there is multiple factions and each one is a different style of play. I love the weekly quests and it keeps getting me to play the game. The only problem is that after like 15 years I can see it getting a little repetitive and I personally think it needs a little more rewards
