I have played for well over a year and it was always fun for me. Of course spending some money helped but it never made me feel like I had to until recently. Atlantis completely ruined the game, it's not fun and if your alliance is paired with a whale team be prepared to be absolutely dominated. But don't worry the newest resource to upgrade your character is tied to this mode so you can't ignore it. I play games for fun, it's sad this one no longer is.

every update more errors.. im sick and tired of it ... not only that some of the quests are designed that unless you spend tons of money you cannot do them fully .. worst thing bloody pop ups every time you move around game trying to get you to buy expensive add ons its a RIP OFF and most aren't worth the expensive price you put on them .. but we don't need them popping up all the bloody time either .. it ruins the game .. also as you get higher up the game the bonuses are pathetic ... 😡😡😡😡

I was torn between a 3 and 4 star rating. at its core, this is fundamentally a very fun game and has lots more potential. However, on the down side, this game DOES NOT respect your time or wallet. Most events seem like you either have to spend or have a damn flow chart to optimize your plan if you want to win rewards. I dont mind spending on something I enjoy but the price points are inflated AF compared to other games ive played. If those 2 things were addressed then this is a 4 or 5 star easy

it 7s certain that no matter what you want get good 5 star heroes without paying.it gets boring without new heroes. The game play is interesting the new events are impressive but the problem stays that they grant good heroes to non payers.

downloaded the game to give it a shot, but when I open the app, it tries to load, and then gives this error message: Looks like there are some connection problems. Please click 'Reload' to establish a new connection. click reload and the same error. Doesn't matter if I'm on wifi, or not same error. Uninstalled and reinstalled app, same error. rebooted phone too, same error..

For the second anniversary, the Ithaca event was disappointing, and they had a solid opportunity to make amends there. However, they are now repeating the same mistakes for the two-year anniversary, where every other game is generous with free rewards. This game is just the Ithaca disaster all over again, offering only breadcrumbs. The daily login rewards for the event are also laughable. The events arent any lower thresholds. still require you to whale. man so sad.
- JOE B · v1.54.0
There are certainly ups and downs. Ithaca was a disaster but at least they apologised after. The game is good I just don't understand why they're so incredibly stingy - even for a gacha. 2nd birthday is going on and it's just incredibly bland and more of the same. no amazing deals, no great opportunities. Just ways to give them money for nothing very exciting. 🥱

no ads, a real good game to play nowadays.
- Ludovick Almanon · v1.53.6
I really wanted to like this game but like so many others it is a predatory money grab. The "events" are designed specifically like a carrot on a stick where no matter how many times you log in, how many adds watch, no matter how lucky you get, you still can't reach the goal without paying the stick holder money to give you the carrot. Unfortunately this game is no different than the countless others using subtle psychological tricks to manipulate unsuspecting people into wasting time and money

the game itself is well done the gameplay is good but need much improvements after 2years the start is extremely slow and there is no much worker to make all factory working so you found yourself missing some upgrades the pvp is the worst as you start you found very high players in bronze even refresh don't get you better also the banner are extremely hard to get summon keys after 6 days got 50 from quests and you need 200 to get legendary and upgrades heroes is bad too with low materiels.

This is like most of the stupid games. They stop you from making progress with stamina so you pay money, so you could get more stamina. it's just a cash grab game. yeah, I did try to play this game. But even an event you can't win at the events unless you pay money.

After most recent update, wouldn't log in. After repeated attempts to get it to run,I uninstalled and reinstalled it. This started me at the beginning again,and customer service never responded to my help query. I had plenty of time in this game. It's always had crashing issues,but I liked it ;so I looked past it. There's more stable games to play. Steer clear and save yourself the disappointment.
- Joe Blow
I really liked this game. Confused? Well, the rating is based on the fact that it's impossible to progress successfully with buying assets. I find this unacceptable. Not cool.
- Christopher Vale · v1.53.5
wow this is the worst game I've ever played. never seen a game more commercialized so badly before. literally play only if you have a billion dollar in the bank.

favorite game on the store.been playing RoC since launch. your community Manager Lordwasa,is sweeping my complaints under the rug. I confronted him about this and he closed my ticket saying the topic is being discussed in another ticket.this is a lie and I have screenshots to prove that he's constantly ignoring complaints and closing my tickets without adequate response.Lordwasa, you are not good at dealing with people and should not be a comm manager. it's been weeks and bug reports are ignored

enjoy the Viking Civilization event, just wish it was a permanent Civilization or the ability to choose set Civilization even if it stops at a center Era of Development that would be enough to do Viking pillage raids. but, over still have the feel of the original launch from back in the day & how the game has developed so far. can't wait to see what else you as the devs have instore

In the gift of goat quest, I’m stuck. It won’t let me exit out. It won’t let me claim anything. It won’t let me do anything. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it doesn’t work. Please fix this issue. I would love to continue playing this game.
- S hdrbfj · v1.51.4
everything was going great. now I'm stuck in a bug loop. i expanded my capital before a quest told me to expand 3 times, and it forces you to go to the quest. however, I couldn't finish building but the quest shows as complete. I've closed the game and tried to go back in but it forces the same loop. can't close out of quest screen or interact with any objects. such a shame, game appears great and has a different world building mechanic.
- Jamie Rose · v1.51.4
Game is fun but I am stuck on mission “Have 3 expansions in capitol city”. Game forces me to click that button and I cannot click it. I have restarted about 100 times and reinstalled the game several times as well. Game is clearly not quite ready
- BrandonZimm · v1.51.4
im 100% pay to play game in order to advance you need a specific item and in order to get the item you either have to get it in combat and I can't win any more combats till I upgrade and you can't upgrade until you get a specific object so the only way to get the object is to pay money

i am stuck at the collect reward page under Stone Age - Gift of Goats - Have 3 expansions in the capital city. I literally cannot do anything. cannot collect reward, cannot press "x" to close it. after closing the app, clear cache, clear data or even reinstalling the game works. after restart the game, it always force me to click the quest button and enstein start explaining but after that, cannot do anything anymore

I downloaded the game and progressed for a bit. I unlocked some land and when I completed my quest my next one was “Claim three land” however I already did that. So I went to click claim however it wasn’t working, so I clicked x but that also wasn’t working. The game froze for whatever reason. I decided to delete the game and reinstall it since I only had 30 minutes of progress, however when I reinstalled the game, it forced me back to where I was. All of the buttons were gone (Because it was a forced quest) so I couldn’t click my account and wipe out my data. So I thought “Why not wipe the data from settings?” But I found out you also couldn’t do that since they save your progress on their servers. So now I’m stumped and I don’t have an idea on how to claim the quest or replay. If this glitch could be fixed I’ll appreciate it a bunch.

This is the best game. I really like some of the characters in it. Like William Wallace, but there’s one person I want in the game the legendary man himself Teddy Roosevelt if you add him, I will be so thankful. I don’t wanna ask for much but if you do eventually add him, I wish to be the first person to have him in game.

Unfortunately, less than an hour later, I ran into a glitch that made the game unplayable. It wouldn’t let me do anything but start a new quest to expand the city, but then it wouldn’t let me collect rewards for completing the quest and move on. I even deleted and reinstalled and the same thing happened. I only spent $3 so it’s not a loss. Just frustrating.

- Ponso Lai · v1.51.4
Great visuals and fun historical heroes, but long-term gameplay has issues. City building feels repetitive - each era just recycles the same basic upgrades. Upgrading heroes past level 40 requires endless Tesla farming, which gets tedious fast. Opening the game triggers too many pop-up sales, and progress is heavily tied to guild activity. Fun for a few weeks, but turns into a repetitive grind.

Those of us who doesn’t know the truth about some of the things written about the people we heard about in conversations or in discovery documents, this game is a gratified place for learning about some off the greatest stories ever told. Made by some smart developers with a niche for history.
- KITSUNEKUN · v1.50.3
my tip for someone starting out new : - hero points can be had via energy/lightning, I.e if you struggle in the campaign just level up attacker, healer, range until you are strong enough - tesla campaign, make sure you train up the attackers first in respective color, then healer, then range - build smartly, ground needs to be cleared and sone buildings are huge. - ability levelling is super important

Finally deleted this game after many years of playing. I really enjoyed growing my kingdom, upgrading my heroes and buildings at MY own pace. Sadly this game is becoming like so many others, another typical multiplayer game. Where it’s more pay to win, other random players will soon be able to attack your kingdom, global chat will start, and overall toxicity will begin. I have seen this with other games and now can see the signs. We had a good run guys. See ya.
- thechosen758 · v1.50.3
I've been playing this game for over a year, and it's incredibly hostile to players, especially new players. All events favor high-level players, and spending large sums of money won't help you. In the Battle of Atlantis, all the strong (old) alliances and top-tier players engage in fixed battles; new alliances and players are their fodder. The whole point of this game is to constantly inject new players with fodder to support the existing players who have invested heavily in the game. New players have zero chance of making it. This isn't a game; it's a farm for killing new players for your money.
- Вечный дельфин · v1.50.1
New culture event was complete disaster, no reimbursement for purchased packs during event.
- Andrei S S · v1.50.1
I’m sure this game was fun to play by the year old comments. Where are the current reviews? Can I expect mine to be tucked way back in the review basement too? I started off really liking this game. It was definitely different from many of the grind and forced to join a clan games. I’ve made it to the next level, the Bronze Age. Now I’m stuck. I can’t level any buildings because I need credits and gems to research I order to level buildings. Credits are no problem. They designed the game to where you have to spend money to get gems. The first age you could earn gems. The Bronze Age you can’t. I’ve looked at everything, but no luck finding a way to earn free gems. So now I can’t advance in the game. I’m not going to keep buying gems just to climb the research stages. I spend money on these mobile games all the time, but not going to in this one. Not like this, forcible in order to advance. GAME DELETED.
- DiscoKidd · v1.50.1
This game is awesome but y’all need to add Peter The Great, Rasputin, Agamemnon, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and Hitler.
- Joe B Stone · v1.50.1
You can play for free but you’ll never get anywhere. Nothing but a cash grab. Constant pop up ads to buy things and I know it’s not required but there’s no reason to be bombarded with “buy, buy, buy” pop ups. Shame on the devs and @apple
- Philbert HD · v1.50.1
Seems like you’re stuck early in the game unless you buy gems
- noahbconkin · v1.50.1
I have honestly left very few reviews in my many years of just mobile games but in light of all these games dying I’d like to leave ones for the games that mean something to me, I have always enjoyed this game from even its predecessor and I’m even exited to drop a quick buck here and there to help support the game but here’s hoping they listen to fans as I wish there was a way to unlock king Agamemnon right along side king Odysseus or maybe even more depth in the Viking department, but either way in terms of game itself the gameplay is quite fresh and I’ve never had a problem sitting on this game for hours so if your looking for a historical character game, this is the one for you(if you read this long heck yeah)
- cubanwhizard · v1.49.6
Game won’t load and no support unless you have an account with the developer.
- Eroc004 · v1.49.6
This game is great. The main quest and side quests and events keep the game interesting. I would love to see hero’s of the Christian faith added to the game. A 5 star apostle Paul and apostle Peter and John the Baptist. 4 star Timothy 4 star Aquila and Priscilla. Martin Luther and John Calvin would also be great additions to the game. Please consider these! A Christian first century AD Jerusalem event would be amazing!
- Silentprayer316 · v1.49.6
PLEASE ADD AMERICAN WESTERN ERA HEROES PLEASE
- Dr. Hamburgz · v1.49.6
I would have given this game 5* but recent changes are telltale signs of how greedy and rigged the mechanics have become. Let’s start with greedy. There are now two tiers to the monthly pass, not one but two. And paying for the Legendary top tier does not include getting the Epic pay tier just below it, but you wouldn’t know this until you actually paid the exorbitant price for the Legendary pass only to realize that that is all you get. As far as rigged mechanics go, I’m referring to the terribly unfair and unbalanced Atlantis Event. Four alliances face off in a week-long battle to control a map of Atlantis. How the alliances are matched is determined by tallying secret ELO scores for each player in the alliance. The secret ELO is supposedly not based on a player’s power which is probably true - because the game has low power teams facing off against teams which are 5x stronger! I kid you not. Imagine trying your best only to be bullied around the map by a team which is 4-5x more powerful than you! This week my alliance, with an average squad power of 15k is facing an alliance with an average squad power of 60k! And they have at least 8 active members and we have 10. 10x15 = 150 vs 8x60 = 480. I bet you can guess who’s winning… Now how could we be matched up so unfairly one might ask? Probably because we’ve had to spend GEMS in order to remain competitive in all our matches against increasingly overpowered opponents. That’s why the ELO is secret, because $$$ spent are in the algorithm. Which brings us full circle back to greed. They’ve taken an event that should be fun and competitive and turned it into an experience that is a) completely frustrating, b) relatively unrewarding (I forgot to mention that personal rewards in the Atlantis event top off at a ridiculously low level) and c) a vicious cycle because the better you do today, the crazier the unfairness will be in your next match. When the player is disincentivized to actually play, the developer needs to seriously rethink their strategy. I would further suggest that the developer actually play the event in real time for a week rather than letting the AI run off a hundred thousand simulated matches. There’s a difference between how effectively 10 real people in different time zones can coordinate their gameplay over a full week versus how the AI can seamlessly coordinate the gameplay of 10 simulated players in the blink of an eye.
- Blue Ribbon Panel · v1.49.6
It locks me out saying poor connection even on wifi. Not happy with the error reload screen when I have done everything I can to play and get in. It was decently fun to play, but if they can’t fix errors it’s a waste of space to have on phone. I’ll stick to games with decent support.
- Jdfighter · v1.49.6
So far there are many historical characters to unlock. You do get a couple cool ones throughout the campaign. Not sure how crazy or heavy of PvP there is but that aside you get to build your base, train characters, and also search for resources. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a more casual collector game!
- soulcraft76 · v1.49.6
This game was okay, despite being heavily pay to win. However, this latest event is either a massive screw up by the developers, or a straight attempt to screw over the players. All previous allied culture cities you could obtain level 25-35 as F2P. The last event where they released a 5* hero from the level 40 reward had the same difficulty as all other allied cultures, and level 40 could be obtained with about $25 spent. In this new allied culture event, F2P can maybe reach level 20, though 18 is more likely. $100 spent will get you to about level 25, while getting to level 40 would take upwards of $500. Players calculated the math required to reach level 40. Even buying all premium buildings and expansions ($500 worth of purchases), it is still highly unlikely you could reach level 40 through the base game mechanics. You would need to spend additional money buying gems in order to directly buy the materials you’re short. The company’s response to creating an event, with no indication that it would be 20x more expensive than all previous events, was “build better.” Update: After massive outcry from the players, and evidence that it was nearly impossible to obtain the rewards, the company decided to give out the level 40 fragment to everyone. This is a nice gesture, but doesn’t change the fact that people that spent hundreds of dollars supporting this company weren’t reimbursed for their wasted money. I’m only changing my rating to 2 stars because I didn’t spend hundreds of dollars, but I estimate I lost about $40 worth of gems on this event, with nothing to show for it.

The most predatory, pay to win out there.
- Bragnarok5255 · v1.48.8
The special event, Ithaca, was not just badly designed, it was designed to the point where I don’t think anybody did the math to check on probabilities. It was so badly designed an apology email got sent out saying the key prize would be credited to all who made level 3 instead of 40. What hasn’t been addressed is those of us who spent tons trying to make the event work. That needs to be credited as well.

Honest review. I love this gatcha game. Yep, gatcha. If you can control your spending and just enjoy the game mechanics, this is fun. There are p2w components. There are NO mechanisms where you can lose resources via PvP. Just have fun. Join an alliance. Build relationships.

The primary game of this type that I play (Evony) is currently so riddled with glitches that it can’t be played so I’m looking for a new one. Being a history buff I was prepared to love this but after several days I’m underwhelmed by it. The interface is somewhat clunky and the play itself is repetitive rather than engaging. Time to move on to something else.
- YoPlayer1 · v1.48.8
The new Ithaca event was completely broken and even spenders cannot complete the goal. Inno listened to the very loud feedback in social channels and made things right, and say they will work to prevent things like happening going forward. If so then kudos to them for keeping the game fresh and interesting!
- John16309 · v1.48.8
The ongoing Ithaca is an absolute disaster. Players on strike, the developer rather arrogantly refuses to listen to us! Edit: nice to see the dev replying with a copy/paste to every 1* review. I've player well over a year, but they have never actually done anything to fix what the player base complain about. Instead, the common reply in the official channels is that the rewards aren't meant to be reachable unless you pay us more time. As it stands, paying 50-100€ a month is not enough.

started off okay. but within an hour progress was lost and website triggered anti virus alerts.
- Matthew Dovener
I've played this game religiously for almost a year. Every update is under-tested but the current Ithaca Allied Culture event is straight up theft. You need to achieve a certain level of progress for a powerful reward and it's literally impossible unless you drop HUNDREDS of $$$. Get it together Inno. You're losing paying customers in droves.
- Rory Sickles · v1.48.8
the graphics are wonderful. The story line interesting. The combat is very good. I like the casualness of the game. I'm an older person playing.
- Robert Tirado · v1.48.8
omg the Ithaca event is horrible and not just hard, but impossible. I hit level 40 in every other city event but I've spent so much money and I'm not even close to making it. level 20 first day, level 25: second day and I won't make level 30 today. The game developers happily take your money and laugh at you for trying!
- Al Hoppe · v1.48.8
Has got to be the worst pricing I have ever come across in a pay to win game. absolutely atrocious value for money. Ridiculous amounts of bugs and issues, though they are remedied quickly once reported. Communication is awful, main communication comes from a single discord mod, the game has way too many issues for that one person to handle feedback of. Developers are rude, standoffish about issues and blame the players. The last event, Ithica, has been a nightmare. Don't waste your time.
- Cameron Laing · v1.48.8
The ongoing Ithaca event completely fails. Players on strike! Edit: Dev responded with "the next Ithaca run will be fixed". How about ALL future allied culture releases will be fully play tested before release, and we won't rip off all of our loyal players? Rubbish.
- Kevin Gilbert · v1.48.8
Love the concept but it becomes very clear this game is about frustrating players into spending money. Also has some of the worst summoning % I have ever seen. Not friendly to new players at all
- L Church · v1.48.8
Guess we are just bad builders
- Jan · v1.48.8
Unfortunately the game direction at time of Scylla / Ithaka is just too greedy and not considerate of the players. The game needs the players, not the other way around. Making odysseus awakening at a reasonable difficulty / investment will not kill the game economy. Everyone that wants him will still need to buy the starter pack. But to expect people to buy pack + thousands of gems on lux buildings is just insane. On top of bugs which would be easily caught in testing, without any compensation.

P2W events, P2W heroes, P2W everything.. Leaderboards and fun are decided by how much money you spend, not by how much effort and time you put in the game... RoC went downhill after the first year, exact same thing is happening here too..
- Parted BG · v1.48.8
The game is really good but if you have Cyrus the great you gotta have JESUS And maybe Sampson

The ongoing Ithaca event complete fails. The team does not take players seriously.
- Devrimin Maniti
The new Ithaca event is a total failure. It’s impossible for FTP players to get the hero awakening that’s limited to this event only—and even players spending money find it nearly impossible without spending a LOT. This is so disappointing to see from the devs.
- FixMePlease!!!! · v1.48.8
Players voiced detailed and calculated concerns about the new Ithaca event in the official Heroes of History discord server. Their moderators response (paraphrased): Your math is wrong, you haven't spent enough money to compensate the game's intentional stretch goal (read: intentionally deceiving goal). Most prior events have required strategic timing and layouts with a moderate amount of spending. Not this event... The ongoing Itaca event completely fails. Players on strike!
- Daniel Buckley · v1.48.8
Waste of time
- VVVVVVavV · v1.48.8
complete disaster of event ...pay to win ... even if you spent money still can't get anything !!!!
- lomax itex · v1.48.8
So... In usual Inno fashion, they released a new event (Ithaca) with no testing and it's a complete failure. The previous event (Ancient Egypt), it was possible with hard work/grinding to hit 40 for reward. The new event (Ithaca) is mathematically impossible to complete and riddled with bugs. As a person who has spent a lot of money on this game, this kind of garbage is what is going to drive their paying players away. High end rewards should be hard to get, but not IMPOSSIBLE.
- Patrick Etheridge · v1.48.8
The ongoing Ithaca event is purely a cash cow and is quite impossible for FtP people. Heck it’s even impossible if you spend a lot of money
- Cyndy10 · v1.48.8
Inno's greed knows no limits. If you are f2p don't even try this game you'll not be able to complete any event. They brought 2 events this summer that even whales can't reach a high enough point in it. Completely unbalanced, the game is clearly going in the wrong direction
- Snow Neige · v1.29.6
The on going Ithaca event fails and we are ignored. Players on strike
- Juldan72 · v1.48.8
This is a solid build and battle game. It's easy and fun to play. Added plus is that you get to play with historical figures. If the game allowed us more control and interaction with each of the heroes as in a fps pvp or a battle arena type style. Where we can cast our abilities ourselves and see the results up close, then it would be a 5 star game.
- Jay Miller · v1.48.8
awesome

Daily player, can't log on in any format. Love the game. I usually turn the music off in games, but wow, best game music I've ever heard.

This is one of the best games I have,,,, but lately, lots of crashes and super throttling on antimatter… redeemed 200+ and got a repeat - even with a 10x Washington sitting there. Really???!!

Issue with internet. The game won't load even with a stable internet connection. It started after the last update.
- Keegan M · v1.48.8
They have so many characters to get and have good ideas for events.
- Bensen1234re · v1.48.8
I mean, its not bad, if you have the time to come back every couple of hours to collect everything. Like most games of this type, it starts off fast paced but after a short time, you cannot do anything unless you are prepared to pay to play. I get they need to make money, but it makes it a lot less fun and for me, less inclined to keep playing.

This game is amazing. I would appreciate it if you could add a 60fps mode to this game. 🎮 🙏🏻 ❤️
- Hadi Safaee · v1.18.5
Eh, it's fine. It's basically just an asset flip of Inno's other game Rise of Cultures, which is honestly kind of lame. But it does have the extra gacha-style hero mechanic, so I get how they would appeal to different audiences. If you've ever been playing a city builder and thought "what if this was more like Raid: Shadow Legends," this might be the game for you.

when I was playing it i got stuck at leveling up your heroes screen with Leonidas telling me to open the hero overview but there is no way to do so edit: uninstalling and reinstalling fixed it.
- hemanth p · v1.48.8
I enjoy playing the game and it’s made some good improvements since I had it, but I just learned that if you don’t use the event antimatter time portals you’ve earned before the event concludes you lose them and don’t get them back. I don’t appreciate that because I was saving up enough to do a 10 at once summon, but only had 9. Since the events are rotate and come back around I figured they’d become available to you again once the event is back. You do not! A very unpleasing revelation and a big turn off for the game.
- Sunshine373 · v1.48.5
perfect game
- Ardit kadiu · v1.47.10
I don't know how to do a 4.5 but I fell like this game is 4.5/5, just to put that out there. Heroes of history is a pretty fun game with one downside: micro-transactions, same deal with almost every game. Heroes of history has Gems that you can use to speed everything up, and for real world dollars you can buy the gems. The game opens to the store to buy gems, which you can leave but don't miss click. 5/5 Story, 2/5 Micro-transactions, 5/5 gameplay 5/5 community
- Waterfury Dragon · v1.47.10
This game is a big disappointment. For an the fun you think you can have it all get ruined by the person spending money to play. this game is all about the money. if you are not ready to give your check away then don't download this game. I know I've been playing it for months.
- Salman Ibn Milton · v1.47.9
The gameplay is way better than their previous games. However this is their most P2W games so far.
- Nitto S · v1.47.10
yeah
- Koketso Marvin
Bog standard gameplay. Gotcha, but F2P friendly so far. The gimmick of real and imaginary characters from various periods and characters elevates this tired template.
- C Brown · v1.47.10
After the last update the game won’t load anymore. I’ve reinstalled it twice now. I’m absolutely upset. I’ve spent so much time and money in this game please fix
- Hdieoneicijodjr · v1.47.10
pretty fun
- Tre Dobson · v1.47.10
events are fast paced, extremely hard to grind any hero, resources or anything without poring thousands each week. irregular size and shape of buildings make it harder to progression, all resources reset despite having to use $$ on there packs very shady. this game is dying as greedy CS keep finding ways to increase prices and give less of everything. like most games in decline. great art, history. heroes use 4 map advances, dungeons grinding, etc and meta are locked.
- Jose Saenz · v1.23.9
I love the game, but I haven't been able to get into it for about three days. What's going on? It just keeps loading.
- lig lig lig lig · v1.47.10
I used to get on and play at least once or twice a day for awhile. Recently, it closed and doesn’t reopen at all for more than three days.
- Yarny mom · v1.47.10
At first it seems exactly like rise of cultures But after playing for a week or so I now see that yes there are some similarities but there is enough that’s new and different to make it worth your time. Update Stopped playing for awhile but started again and like all the updates and changes. New fav!
- NTE5T · v1.47.10
The addition of Atlantis is terrible for players like me that work and can only log in 2 times/day. Atlantis requires coordination that many don’t have time for.
- Rbesc · v1.47.9
I love this game so so much, but haven’t been able to get into it for almost 16 hours now. The home screen just loads and loads. (All my other apps work, so I know its an issue with the app…)
