In all honesty this game is fun, can get challenging,but it's addictive. Old school style gameplay is a winner plus the resource to risk ratio is pretty good. Really hope more stuff can be added to make it fun and for the love of all that is good...please no ads,it's rare to find games that aren't plastered with them, keep up the good work and we hope to see this game grow more for the people to enjoy! 💪

very nice game, easy to pick up and play. price is ok to unlock unlimited play and settings. all that it needs now is either a multiplayer option and/or some race specific buildings...ie: elven tree fortress or dwarven mine, some events and maybe some new building skins to spend gold coins on besides just flag decorations.

its interesting at the start, but I have lost interest in the end. to me the gameplay seems not too deep and theres not much to do, the reward for contributing to the throne is not worth the labor when the stars is given at fixed number. the faith resource was hard to implement for those that new to the game. the battle system hit too hard for the casual. and I didnt see the appeal in other class. but I look forward to the development in the future. its nice to see such a game in here.

Thanks for the detailed feedback — we appreciate it. We understand the depth and late-game engagement didn’t fully click for you. Systems like faith, throne rewards, and combat are meant to add layered strategy, but we know they can feel punishing or unclear. We’ll keep your balance notes in mind. Thanks for giving it a try.
