Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. 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.

★★★★★ There are ads you can watch for rewards, which would be fine, except almost every time I watch one, the game messes up afterward.

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I wish there was a little more detail with the villagers. 4★, Sep 25, 2026
  • The game needs a lot of work, it's still new and constantly getting updated, Another problem is I was halfway through the game paid nearly 40$, it updated and deleted all the progress. 1★, Sep 10, 2026
  • There's literally nothing to do while you wait 2 and 3 days for stuff to be ready it need something more I need a reason to sign in 3★, Sep 2, 2026
  • I would love to see the direction of this game switch to using actual art instead of AI. 2★, Aug 29, 2026
  • I would rate this five stars if they made an option to revive my villager as many times as I wish. 4★, Aug 20, 2026
  • So now they can't build the hut (or won't because they need an invention from solving the prior puzzle I guess) and won't change the plans on the board. 2★, Aug 1, 2026

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026
The progression is extremely slow

The progression is extremely slow, it’s too easy for your villagers to get sick or converted. It’s impossibly slow to get technology points. There’s only a few days of gameplay that are extremely stretched out because of slow progression. It’s not fun, you get on for just a few minutes just to wait hours before something happens. You’re more likely to have sick starving or converted villagers rather than a new baby. It’s very pay to win with how slow you actually get tech points. A master researcher means nothing. You only get up to 3-4k research points and most of the upgrade tree requires a hefty sum of them. (18k) in my eyes a game that was decent got destroyed due to greed.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
Meh

You lost stars because of how many tech points are needed towards the end it’s just stupid.

★★★★★Oct 11, 2026
Game play

The game takes way too long to play unless you’re willing to spend a fortune for what you need to be able to play it. The game itself is fun but having to wait over 24 hours for the villagers to get enough stuff to be able to play is ridiculous.

★★★★★Oct 7, 2026
Cheap parody of the originals

It was okay at first, but the latest update made me instantly lose interest. All of the time mechanics have been nonsensically altered, it’s choked with microtransactions, and the latest graphics update looks like it belongs in a Playskool ad. It’s a shame to see a good franchise degrade so much.

★★★★★Oct 7, 2026
Tech points don’t travel over to new areas

In the new update you have zero tech points in the new map areas!! What is the point of accumulating the points if I can’t use them in the new areas after completing the main map/ puzzles??? That’s honestly unfair and kind of stupid!!

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026
It’s fun but…

Women with babies should at least be able to heal, research, and help with spiritual roles so they aren’t just dead weight.
