« Game can be quite fun, and it's a good match for anyone that enjoys city-builders. I'm personally not sure how difficult it is on the higher difficulties, so far I've spent 40 hours on the game and still did not finish the main story. »👍 anonymous review · Nov 2025 · 40 h played« Immensely addictive survival/settlers game. Pretty much what you wish all those awful mobile ad games were »👍 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 37 h played« Wasn't anything like I expected it to be, but in a good way. Played 3 hours without even noticing that I had played that long. And love that you can choose different perks, and difficulties each level, not just for "one" playthrough. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 8 h played« It's a casual game. If you like something to play while having a cup of tea it's the right thing. For anything else not. You could also buy a riddle book. Would save electricity but wouldn't be as eye-catching. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 107 h played« I am really enjoying this game. It's a relaxed statagy game, with enough challenge to keep the casual gamer interested without having to grind for hours on end. »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 32 h played« Its fun quick missions, has a bit of everything, exploration, combat, resource management. The visuals are fantastic. I would like to see later on, one big map where you make several towns. »👍 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 5 h played
« No endless mode so you can take your time building and enjoying the game and the timer counting down just ruins what could of been a great game I hope they learn going forward. »👎 anonymous review · Nov 2025 · 2 h played1« Too simplistic in my view with very little gameplay variety from what I can tell (I got to half way through the second region) which starts to drag, as do the very samey victory conditions. I think your money can be better spent elsewhere. »👎 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 7 h played21« Eh, its basically a mobile game. Nothing that innovative, but at least there wasn't microtransactions. »👎 anonymous review · Nov 2025 · 3 h played« Game is shallow and becomes boring quite quickly. If you have played one mission you have basically played them all, the only real difference is the time limit. A somewhat interesting idea but poorly executed. »👎 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 22 h played« Not much plot and not much strategy. Checkers version of a strategy game. $20 was too much »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 6 h played« Overall, good concept and addicting gameplay loop, if a bit shallow. Have hopes as the game is still being supported, that they add depth and variety to combat, gear, farming etc. A bit bare bones as it is, but still quite fun to play. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 30 h played
