2024-05-29	Brian Blackburn	The grind for gold makes it really boring. Building cost way too much in the beginning. It's decent when it doesn't force you to stop and wait for hours to be able to build 1 item when you need dozens for barely any reward, then wait for hours until stamina is back for another 5 minutes of actual play. Decent enough story if you can stand the increasingly agonizing wait times.
2024-05-03	Philip Skora	Disappointed in the constant changes to the game that make one thing or another cost more to do. So much greed in this game which is sad considering the game is actually good. What makes it bad is seeing things that were free, and then later being changed to cost more. In one of the events, if you wanted an epic item, it's 5200 gems, which is over 100$. Stop with the greed. Everytime you progress in the main or side quests, you will get a pop up asking you to buy something. Shame on the devs.
2024-04-06	Lynn Overton	Good game that I have been playing for a very long time. It's definitely a grinding game . Graphics are great, gameplay is smooth . I like this game a lot because it's got a lot of quests that can keep you busy for days and in my case months . The developers work hard to keep you entertained and they update the game pretty regularly which is a great thing. Improvements can be made though . Shorten the mine quest chain please and increase the time for seasonal quest chains .
2023-12-16	Derrick Kremer	Great game. Takes a while to figure out what to do when new, but once you get through more main missions, it becomes more clear and fun as you start to build power and upgrade your village. The ads never gave me the rewards if my phone screen turned off and was very annoying, but the daily energy and skips make it very worth it and valuable to have, especially early game. I want to talk to a developer as I have some things I think would make the game better, but it is a great causal time killer.
2023-09-27	Luciana Morais	This game has fairly decent graphics and smooth movement. But the storyline is confusing, there are no hints or directions, too many offers to buy credits/vitality, and it got tedious going around looking for resources and doing everything, including assigning workers every time. After a week it all just felt mundane. I spent some money on this game just to get things moving a little faster. Just boring and I really wanted to like it.
2023-05-19	Premium Reviews	3 stars. still at beginning of game, became worried when I saw chopping wood cost 1 energy. in frostborn that is not a thing. I shall see if it's a hindrance to rest of game 1 star. :(1 day into playing: Very disappointed. Two main issues being storage and stamina. Need to be able to store more items that were gathered, need to be able to gather once stamina is out. Each swing of the axe for wood is 1 stamina. Each pickaxe swing for stone is I think 3, which is TOO MUCH. Unplayable once at cave
2023-05-11	Dave Craig	The game has good bones, but recent updates had a very mixed bag of changes. Stamina required to do anything became a lot scarcer, armor got so much worse that enemy damage is 3x or 4x what it used to be. The new skill tree is lackluster. Special events are either fun or extremely boring. The game could be really fun, and the devs are available and active on discord, so it could get better. But not good enough right now to keep someone who completed the main storyline around.
2023-03-29	Moose Splatter	I enjoy this game, but I get frustrated with it just as much. Stamina is the hot commodity in this game, and you never seem to have enough to play more than 5 minutes at a time. Not doing micro transactions. Maybe increase opportunities to get more stamina? Mini map would be useful and quest descriptions don't really help you know where to go for resources. I love the story progression, the home base gradual unlocks, and the fun graphics.
2023-03-22	M Byrd	It's fun definitely pay to play in some aspects but you can play for free if you're patient. It's definitely a grinder but I personally like games like that. There seems to be a bug that makes me reconnect to the server it may be my phone but I doubt it. It happens at least once when I open the app. My only real complaint is there's no map. Other than that it's a good game, maybe needs a little polishing, but over all worth playing for awhile.
2023-03-20	Jason Griffith	Game was great in the beginning, 4 stars for graphics and story line. Would have been 5 stars but it was a little to hard to get enough energy to complete quests. To compensate for this I completed 2 purchases for resources so my son and I could keep playing. After the last update Colossi changed the value of all the energy consumables which makes the game completely unplayable as well as add a ton of new adds. I strongly recommend that nobody pay any money for this game! Greedy!
