- “The game's mechanics are extremely simple to learn and understand, but that doesn't mean it lacks depth.”

Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players appreciate its depth and variety, particularly in multiplayer settings, many find it lacking in long-term engagement and depth, leading to a sense of emptiness after initial playthroughs. The minimalist art style and different civilizations offer some appeal, but several users feel that the game does not provide enough incentive for repeated play.
- “This is a really great value game for people who love civilization and other world builder or turn-based strategy games; lots of replayability and surprising depth so far.”
- “Fun minimalist art style and loads of replayability.”
- “Fun, difficult, interesting, and replayable.”
- “It just is empty and not very replayable after a while.”
- “The idea is there, just feels extremely simple and not very replayable. After one game, I felt like I had done everything there was to do and don't see the need or have the want to play another round; it lacks the 'one more turn' feel.”
- “Zero depth or replayability, and fake civilization variety behind an unlock screen to entice you so you pass the refund deadline.”
