“It was going so great, but it keeps randomly lagging or glitching. Most of the time when I try to colonize a country, my royal navy and royal army don't move; they just sit there for some reason. I don't know if this is my phone's problem or if the app is just buggy. I would love to give it 4 or even 5 stars, but since it's so buggy for now, I'd give it a 1 star. Please fix this issue.”
“This game is really buggy; troops or the trade ship won't move, and this stops the game.”

Overall, the game suffers from a significant lack of replayability, with many players expressing disappointment that once completed, there is little incentive to play again. While the gameplay is enjoyable and addictive during the initial playthrough, the repetitive nature and minimal variation between different countries detract from its long-term appeal. Many reviewers suggest that additional features, challenges, or game modes could enhance replay value and make the experience more engaging.

“Very fun strategy game; I would constantly play whenever I had free time. I would definitely recommend it, and it has replay value.”
“It's really good, but not much replay value.”
“My major gripe is that it doesn't have much replayability, and that there isn't much that separates playing as France, China, Uganda, etc. If fleshed out more, it would be an even better game and could rival bigger games like Civ.”
“The biggest complaint I have is the fact that there is zero replayability.”
“It's a really fun and addictive game, but it's not all that difficult and there's not much in the way of replay value.”
