The AI is terrible, they will transfer needed resources from across the map when there's a whole bunch of that resource already right next to where it's needed! I even once seen them carry a resource from the building where it was produced all the way up to storage, then immediately take it out of storage and carry it all the way back to the building next door where it was needed. It takes hours to progress because of this--then a bandit steals the resource and you've lost 3 hours of work!
I like the game but it would be nice if there were raids on your island. That would spice up the gameplay
The game is simple and wonderful. Unfortunately you loose all your progress when moving to a new island. Switching between multiple islands would be great. Recently the game stutters and ends itself abruptly. And I loose the progress of the last minutes. The last point makes my review drop from 4 to 2 points.
Good game, good concept. I definitely enjoyed it & it's worth a download. The only thing I'd recommend is a change to the road system so they can autoconnect at any point on a road & house structure. It feels like an unnecessary & added step to need to create a sign post, unable to build a sign post at certain points on the road & occasionally needing to destroy the entire road portion to rebuild it so you can connect. That just felt frustrating as a player. Other than that, good game
Good game .Takes a bit to get rolling, due to lack of a detailed guide.This is a supply and demand game. The ads are not bad on free play .this is the type of game where you want to spend a few bucks just to say thank you for the work put into it. I would give it 5 stars if buildings showed what they consume before building them and there was a clearer breakdown on wiki.
Ok so far, the tutorial wasn't so great as I couldn't make sense of what to do. There is a mini wiki in the game which made things clearer. Only played for about an hour, so don't think I've experienced all the game has to offer yet. Also, I've noticed it oddly has the same in game music as Park of Monster game!
First and foremost, the tutorial was a bit hard to follow. It was short and to the point, but I think something a little more indepth would help many players in the beginning. That being said, it's a cute little game and has tons of potential. It took me a while to figure everything out by flipping through menus and such, but once I figured it out, it was a breeze to play through. But as aforementioned, I think if you put more into the tutorial, it will be a better experience for all.
I really like this game but theres some things I cant figure out. once understood, i'd give 5 stars. 1. What do the the power ups do? One seems to make my men faster, but I cant figure out what the map and ship do. 2. What do the harbours do? I know travel & trade, but I dont know what to do in the ships menu ex: It looks as if I have to give logs, if I want to trade to get logs. Is that right? Can you explain how to use the 4 commands in the harbours menu properly?
I absolutely love this game but there's one thing I find annoying. When upgrading with stone/toolbox and decided "I don't want to upgrade that anymore" can the stone/toolbox come out and go either to another upgrade or to storage? Just wondering if you guys did that on purpose because nothing else does that in the game!?! Also why does the speed up time keep going while offline when the game itself stops or pauses when I'm off?
Really like this kind of games! Eventually progressive ware gathering and production, road circuit etc. On the negative side are the non-existence of tutorial which makes it quite challenging to figure it out and the really really really frequent as game goes on crushes of app which makes you redo a lot of stuff. The latter finally made me uninstall.
Very nice game with no/little ads
It has the potential to become good but the current limitations and the lack of any proper guidance puts the game down. Also after awhile, all my citizens stop moving and stay put? Anyways, hope to come back and see this app in a better position.
Quite a good game, however I believe when you sail to a new island you should have the option to keep your research. Due to the people traveling to said island come from the same place that you sent them from. Hense the reason they should know how to do certain things. I believe you should also be able to travel back and fourth between your islands
It looks fun, but honestly couldn't tell you. There's no tutorial, which I don't mind, but there are also no instructions, no tooltips, no descriptions and a complicated array of research and land icons (which of course you're not told anything about)
No clue what the tutorials wants me to do. It points to an unlabed button with a footprint label, which apparently means build a path, and then once clicked shows nothing else. I can't start building paths but if I click anything else it goes away and goes back to square one.
Ur game is quite alright. The tutorial definitely needs work but it can still be figured out. I like the chain of production but it gets boring over time with no action. Getting rid of bandits isn't fun enough. It still a developing game tho. Hope u add more content.
Please make stones unlimited..! Some times buildings can automatically get required items from nearby, but most of items goes to the store and being delivered to buildings that's taking much longer time please fix that..! Awesome game play... I'm downloading this game 2nd time..!
Please don't skip... Loved it, still have some constructive criticisms. 1.Transportation It's really unpredictable where the goods are moving at a given moment . fixes would be (I like 2nd one btw) i)Just change it all over Like,Age of empires where once items are stored in storage villagers get acsess to from anywhere (like a sinked inventry concept). Dang it I can't complete my idea in 500 letters , please let me know where u guys will be active. I will be checking daily so better reply
No tutorials. Played for something twice but can't understand what I'm doing or what I m supposed to do. What a waste to have a game that has no tutorial. Just some footprints, a crane, a sign post, few house, few people, few trees and then NOTHING, NA.. NA.. ZERO!
NO there is no legitimate interest from vendors! Give a reject all option on cookies I might play
Very difficult to determine what anything does from the digitized caveman drawings that serve as a 'tutorial.' Maybe the wiki gives more information, but I don't like doing homework to play a game.
Enjoyable game. Very like The Settlers on the PC. Fair play to the developers for not making it the usual pay to progress game. Could do with more detail in the help and missions would make this a star game.
This game was very fun but I wish there was a way to get the water out of your little island like a way to drain the water would be pretty nice but I wish there was also a way to keep your stuff during your travel to another Island and not start the game all over
Much better than most conventional apps. It allows you to restart and diamonds are easy to get. No paywall, minimal ads. Experiment in a sandbox.
I wanted settlers III remwmbrance app. It is exactly that. Less polished, but very good. Some questionable behaviour on the road and not a lot of docs are the only down side. But, free to play and really smooth
Would be 5 stars if not for 2 annoying bugs. 1 when you exit the game and entere again it will freeze. And 2 I'm on mobile so when I move the camera it teleports me back. Please fix the glitch because the game is really fun
Horrible game. Tutorial may as well not even exist... just shows some arrows pointing to things they want you to tap on, with no explanations, no descriptions of buttons, no nothing. How do you really expect anyone to even grasp the concept of what to do... let alone how to do it?
Yeah I don't like tutorial walls of text either BUT this game is too confusing, I have no idea what's going on. That being said, my suggestion: add one button to the game at a time, not all at once. Create a "tutorial level" where there is only one button on the screen (the build button for example), then add buttons incrementally as the player discovers what each one button does
