Ankora

This is a fantastic game! I have explored just over half the map so far. So far, while it isn't particularly challenging (except when you start getting to higher level monsters), the game keeps a good pace and there's always plenty to explore. The NPCs are really cute and the monsters keep getting better. There isn't much to the combat, and the further you go it seems like the monsters get more skills while you're still stuck whacking them with a spear or hammer, but it's not too much of a loss considering the game seems to focus more on exploration. It is always a delight to turn a corner and find a completely new type of place you just weren't expecting! As for the advertisement, it's really non-invasive - there's just a compulsory ad when you sleep sometimes and there's a button in the corner you can click on to get various resources (sometimes very helpful) which pops up every now and then. There's also no ads offline (but I try to play online to get free stuff XD). It's not pay-to-win at all either. This is all really impressive, considering it's the kind of game that a developer could easily turn into a cash grab, but big props to Chibig for not going that route. There's not even a big time wait to do what you need to - it's just a matter of clearing the next route, doing the next story quest, and levelling up. Thanks for this awesome, cute game!

Too many glitches. Bridges: can't land on them to do anything. Enemies always hit first, even when you sneak up on them. Too much running back and forth, in and out of the map to complete a mission. Yes, I've died...don't like the fact it takes products instead of just starting you back at ship or portals. I lost an important ingredient for a mission. Now can't find another. As I read other comments, it stops after this one world? Once I complete the call for help, no more game? If this is the case, what a colossal waste of time for an ok game that needs some tweaking.

Great mobile game that's as time consuming as you want it to be with great replayability if you enjoy crafting and landscaping. The terraforming aspect is probably where it shines the most, as you can mold every area to your liking if you're willing to take the time to do it. I find myself continuing to clean up and shape different areas and I finished the story long ago.

This game is so cute! It has intuitive controls that consistently work. The story is straightforward and easy to follow. It continues basically no matter what you do. There are a few quests that aren't so straightforward, like helping Umi hunt the monsters in his land (I finished all of Umi's quests but the original quest to find Umi still isn't finished). I love the exploration and building parts, and how the player is encouraged to take only what is needed. 5 stars.

So this game looked incredibly promising until I found a glitch that made me unable to progress any further, which is a shame because it's a great concept for a game. You definitely need to work on the controls because it's incredibly difficult to maneuver and direct the character. The English also isn't brilliant so it makes direction for quests slightly unclear. In short, potentially a great game, but let down by poor controls and glitches that completely cease the ability to play the game.

Overall a great game with a few minor flaws. A little extra help might be useful as some quests were a bit confusing. The NESW markers were sometimes a bit difficult to see, maybe do them in red? Also some kind of route planning on the map might be useful as getting lost and not finding the path to a destination could be frustrating. Glitched a few times where I became stuck in midair and had to reload. Other than these issues I've had fun playing this game.

Overall, a fun play. I probably won't be sticking with it, but do recommend checking it out if looking for single player games. The visual & musical styles are great! Controls are simple, but sometimes require a bit too much screen rotation. The story & translation are passable. Too much time spent backtracking to previous areas.

Its honestly pretty fun to play. Theres hardly any downtimes or wait times for anything, and you can explore the map at you your own pace. Theres so many different quests to complete, and you dont have to follow a linear path with getting them done. It has some really nice scenery to look at. I tend to play it when I'm waiting around because it makes it easy to get investes in completing the quest and continuing the story line. Its definitely worth checking out.

Fun, engrossing game. Has some issues with the controls, but they are getting better. You don't have to spend real money if you do the quests, kill the right monsters, farm the mines and watch the videos; but I bought the expanded bag, never ending battery, a teleporter and some keys. I reset after I finished so that I could keep enjoying the game, I kept what I bought except for the keys. Totally awesome! I love this game!

This is a truly beautiful game. Ads are kept to the minimum which is very good. Thank you, that was a very nice experience. Advice for new players: keep a list of what each store has in stock and where farm animals are. Things that could improve: pantry organizer, light automatically on at night when unlimited battery bought. Glitch(?): in lake area 43, it is not possible to go E-W even when a patch is fully built. As well, it is not possible to stand on a bridge to break a stone for example.

Great little game. Worth several hours of play in a cute little world. The leveling system is a little dumb to me, seeing as "strength" increases ability to hold more in your inventory, but caps at 150 items (start with like 100 capability). And the enemies scale with your leveling, but it can feel redundant. I beat the end boss in 3 hits, 1 buff. The characters, art, and different ways to traverse the world is very charming, however. Do recommend

The art, story, and NPCs are great. The control system a little bit difficult for me, sometimes getting too frustrated but it is good to not having D-pad control on the screen. Fighting system a little weird, sometime my character only hit the enemy once and then get hit multiple time and not fighting back (usually without buff from the enemy and that's odd). I like it.

Great game! Love it. Getting further into the game. Wish there was a setting to enable her from reminding to eat and turn on the light. I know now that she has to eat, sleep etc. It gets tedious while playing for long periods of time. Other than that, the game is amazing. Rate 4½. Update: Cool game. Wish there was more. Without missions the game isnt as fun. It would be great if there was different maps to discover. I would seriously invest into this game if there was more. Just saying.

Fun easy rpg, can play as little or as much as you want, there is no restrictive stamina bar or forced paywall. There are some bugs here and there, e.g. not being able to move to a square unless you move somewhere else first, the mine always giving 1 diamond instead of 3 as stated, but great game nonetheless. A tip, there's no need to go around killing monsters just for experience, completing quests will help you level up and gain coins much faster. Always watch the ads, they are short and give you useful items in return.

Ankora is a great adventure RPG with surival elements. It is fun and simple with easy to grasp controls. Might be a bit to easy for those who want a more hard core experince. If you just want to sit down and relax it is a great game however. It also contain many side quest and items to hoard for those who like that. Some say the game run slow/ is buggy. I had no such problems. It do contain in-app purchases, but the game does not pay-wall you later on at all. I even forgot it had them.

For your information the prices for the additional tools (like teleporter) that can be purchased don't match during online and offline mode. There is a block on tile 43 that glitches out and gets the character stuck in place whenever run over. And sometimes the mobs / bosses glitch out mid air and don't move (not even the animation work). Apart from that quite a nice game. Definitely a recommend. :)

This is a great game and time is forgotten once I open it. Just wondering, is there a tool that breaks rocks? Most of the paths are blocked by rocks so I was wondering if you could break them. Please make a second game where you use manual controls: like the sticks on the Xbox controllers to move the characters instead on touch to move.

Could be better if we could get from one place to another easier. Even using the map it's hard to get where you need to go because there is no south, east etc. I spend too much time being lost. Great idea though just some things that are very annoying including it getting dark so fast. Frustrating!!!

Ankora is a good time passer for those who enjoy crafting, survival, and rpg games. Simple and easy to get into but a challenge to master. Some quests can take time to work out but the autosave helps ( like a snapshot ). Good for those who don't want to worry about achievments like with most other games. Offline playability a plus. Only downside is no customization options for charactor. Worth giving a try.

I think you should lower the economy upgrade efficiency in order to find balance. And to make the game less predictable you can try to make station variable with basic size (making it efficiency different). May be you need to implement more soldier entities or even races (like more armored and slow units, and another are quick and weak). And think of more booster types. The main issue now that the game is predictable, and economy boost is "must have" on each station at the beginning. Best wishes

This game is truly a rare gem. It can be played offline and players can finish it without purchasing anything (I did). Ads are kept to the minimum when playing online. Graphics and music are beautiful. Love the character designs. I am looking forward to more adventures for Mûn or from the whole Deiland verse.

I like it. It's okay for a casual game with a RPG theme. Constantly needing to eat or drink and be an issue at times. You're pretty stuck where you can go until you get the pickaxe. It can be played both online and offline as well. It gets a little Annoying how you have to rest at night unless you get the flashlight though.

I found the initial play through (and subsequent) to be a bit of a steep start with always being hungry and thirsty, but after that game mechanic was dealt with the game became went from interesting to enjoyable. I also found it to have a decent replayable factor, focusing on different stats and setting personal goals and terraforming challenges. A nice low key game with not too challenging of a progression curve.

Feels like a full fledge adventure/exploration game with minimal, unintrusive ads. Really really well done; almost like if you squished Minecraft and Zelda together in a more portable package. Not always clear where to go for upgrades/progression, but it feels like its just part of the explorative nature and not a failing of the game itself.
