Even if it has an economic system, the mechanics are usually offshoots of economic concepts. Maybe they include some more enganging late game mechanics in the future, but for now I cannot recommend it, even though it is not straight out bad.Most city building games on iPhone don’t feature a proper economic system. So its not worth 30 bucks but rather about 15 or less on sale. You achieve the possibility to build a ton of buildings long before being able to craft something interesting.Īll in all this feels like an atmospheric medieval chillout game, that you can put in about 25 hours. This story you get is also very unbalanced. At some point you begin to skip through the dialog because its so annoying. The lines are not voiced and the script is extremely boring to read. What adds to this is that the story does not make up for anything. You just feel silly playing this for longer than 25 hours. Then you also have these weird animations and sounds when crafting items, which completely destroys the atmosphere. The only industry actually doing something are farmers.Īt least they sow, and bury the fields, but nobody else actually does something. Its just a ghost town of robots that just pretend to work.

This leads to the effect that you dont feel like you are creating something worth all that grinding.

Most idiotic looking are hunters that shoot one shot at a boar and than just walk away while the boar is chasing your villager through the town. They roam the woods and pretend to collect stuff.

There is an animation but the trees stay. Of course you can build a lot of realistic buidlings, however the depth here is missing. However, creating the village gets boring so fast, because there is nothing fun to do or to see after most basic buidlings stand. I expected at least a hundred hours from a game that wants 30 bucks from you. What certainly bothers me most is that making the village gets old very quickly. Going iron takes even longer and less interesting. When you reach this point then, it does not really feel like the effort of creating a town just to make bronze tools and fry eggs. This includes most recipes, which leads to strange situations where you cannot fry an egg or bake bread until you played like 30 hours through. Most things cannot be done until you have collected ridiculous amounts of research points. It is made with love and alot of details, but the lack of actual late game content is very sad.įirst of all the game consists of a lot of grinding. Unfortunately, I have to give this game a no.
