Placing a building down is very finicky, as the screen would move when putting it down. Also buildings would snap into place after letting go. I think having the buildings "snap" to the placement grid would be more fluid gamewise. Furthermore the roads are an absolute nightmare to place since I would have to go through this process twice. Not only was it hard to place, but it was just as difficult to discern where I was placing the road too. It maybe me but I also had trouble tapping the arrows.

All in all, a good game but with some balance issues and some stray bugs. In the military tutorial, if you destroy the bandit camps before you get the quest, the campaign is softlocked. Aside from that, though, it's one of the only games I have been playing for 10 years, so I'd say it's still pretty good

I've been playing this game since 2016 and I've lost thousands of prestige due to cloud syncing error. No matter how many times I've been annoyed this game will forever hold a special place in my heart. I'm looking forward for more updates tho, such as new townies, a chariot or a cart prolly, new buildings and functional decorations as well. One more thing, please don't change the game system. Thank you for the amazing game! Keep up the good work! 💪🏻👏🏻❤

Really great game! But I also wish there are other building styles from different cultures. Also I hope that you could give players more control in distribution of supplies and thaler. While it is convenient for the builders to grab materials from the nearest supplier, other establishments ended up having less than I would have prefer. It can be a bit difficult to track and to set heirarchy

The game is okay, It has a lot of interesting mechanics that make it quite fun to play but it also feels like it's missing something and sadly it still has popups even though it's "premium". It also seems like it's just a discounted version of the "remove ads" feature in the free game. If that were the case, I would advise players to just play the free version to check if they like the game because both are the same minus ad banner. Plus, starts tend to be too difficult which might be the point.

The closest thing you can find to a decent equivalent of the Anno and Settlers series on PC. Regrettably, the "premium" label is giving it a bad rep, 'cos it's quite the opposite - you still have to spend a bit of $ to truly unlock some important features to make it enjoyable. Might as well offer a free 'trial' version, and a full-fledged, full-priced version instead of this 'premium' one with its wall of IAPs.

Incredibly disappointed that buying the premium version of this game only disables the in-game adds. Still riddled with micro transactions, you don't even get the ability to fast forward freely unless you spend more money. Just feels like they're cash grabbing and making things feel tedious and slow until you spend money for their "upgrades" which should just be included in the purchased version of the game. I'm sure the gameplay is fine, but I'm so frustrated with feeling like I completely wasted my money buying this that I don't even want to continue playing it. Really just... Disappointed in the choices they've made for this games "premium" version. Certainly doesn't feel premium in anyway.

If you don't know how to play the game, you are going to struggle. As someone who's been playing this game for years, you learn how to manage your resources and avoid depleting them. The game contains different scenarios with different difficulty levels and map sizes; so if you're new to the game, make sure you choose an easy difficulty after completing the tutorial. The game is fantastic, especially if you have a strategical thought process otherwise you may find it more difficult.

Game is fun and enjoyable. Definitely worth investing in unlimited fast forward to support the game. Not getting 5 stars as removing objects needs to be improved, roads construction controls as well. Some objects can't be removed at all when behind a building. Also need to add option to rotate camera view, can be also useful in removing hidden objects.

To Players: I have played this game for seven years, and I still play it. It's really addicting, very engaging, and totally worth it. To Devs: Needs new graphics for upgraded buildings and the ability to rotate them in the 4 directions. PS: Maybe an alternate job choice for wearhouse workers to either "ccollect" or "deliver". It would free up the need for the Townies to leave their production posts to gather raw materials. Bug: New tavern building triggers 2 warnings for drinks even w 1 Tavern

pretty basic City builder, sucks that it kinda turns into an 'idol' game after a while. I'm only coming back to give a rating because of the false advertisement of this "80% SALE" to trick people into giving it a look/purchase. It's always on this "80% SALE", therefore it's never actually on sale. cheap tactic. Mobile games need to stop playing dirty. I'll change the rating if they ever drop the false sale.
