  • monetization
    97 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game primarily revolves around optional ads that players can watch for bonuses, which many find beneficial for progression. However, there is significant criticism regarding the presence of forced ads, which some players feel are intrusive and detract from the overall experience. While some users appreciate the lack of microtransactions and the ability to play without spending money, many express a desire for a paid option to remove ads entirely.

    • “They don't ask for your money with microtransactions or anything.”
    • “No ads whatsoever unless you really feel like it.”
    • “A great time waster, took a few days to max out everything and no ads.”
    • “The forced ads were very annoying; make more optional ads, trust me.”
    • “I get why they did this; they wanted to make more money from ads, and to me that just makes this game another money-grabbing game made for 5-year-olds to farm ads.”
    • “The only way to really progress is to watch ads.”
  • gameplay
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and lacking depth after a few hours of play. While some appreciate the simple mechanics and potential for fun, others criticize the grinding nature, insufficient content, and unengaging click-based actions. Overall, players express a desire for more complexity, diverse mechanics, and a more rewarding experience beyond the initial conquest.

    • “Very cool game with great mechanics and a team that helps the players, listens to suggestions, and improves accordingly.”
    • “Awesome gameplay, I spent lots of hours completing it fully. Also, please add some winning screen to the game; it will feel grand when we win.”
    • “The game itself is unique and different from others with its mechanics, which is quite fun but very difficult at the start. I finished the game and I'm loving it!”
    • “Sadly, not much of an incremental gameplay loop, so when the game is finished (you're an emperor), there's not much else to do.”
    • “The gameplay loop is grinding, grinding, grinding.”
    • “Completely repetitive, no interesting gameplay, and there isn't much to do except tap the same buttons over and over until you conquer North Africa.”
  • story
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally well-received, with players appreciating its premise of rising from a peasant to an emperor; however, many express disappointment over its brevity and linearity, feeling that it lacks depth and multiple branching paths. Users desire more content, including additional missions, character development options, and a more expansive narrative to enhance replayability and engagement. Overall, while the foundation of the story is strong, players are eager for updates that would enrich the storyline and provide a more fulfilling gaming experience.

    • “Has a great storyline and isn't super hard if you can figure out the bug.”
    • “Interesting story of growing from an ordinary peasant into a powerful emperor.”
    • “Very interesting story about a medieval man who tries to start his career and become rich.”
    • “Sadly needs some updating on the storyline and gameplay.. hope to see that in the future.”
    • “The game is alright in the beginning and it becomes grindy until you start to work your way to capturing domains.. after that it is as straightforward as can be and it kind of feels anti-climactic after you reach North Africa. Though it may be historically accurate, it doesn't really feel like you accomplished anything. The game is about building the Holy Roman Empire and working your way up from a peasant to an emperor, yes, but it feels like the story was too short, unfinished, and rushed through.”
    • “Great game with lots of potential, but the story and events are very lacking.”
  • stability
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent freezes that render it unplayable. Players have experienced issues such as the game freezing shortly after starting, losing progress, and bugs that disrupt gameplay, despite some appreciating the overall concept. While there are few reports of glitches outside of freezing, the overwhelming consensus is that these stability issues severely impact the gaming experience.

    • “I was really looking forward to playing this game, but after I started, after about 20 seconds, it froze, so I had to exit the game and open it again thinking it was a one-time thing, but it took less seconds to freeze again after I just opened it and it still freezes till now.”
    • “The game is a good idea and everything, but the game is impossible to play as it constantly freezes and then you have to restart the app.”
    • “The game freezes frequently and it's currently unplayable.”
  • grinding
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews highlight that the game is heavily grind-focused, often described as tedious and repetitive, with players expressing frustration over the lack of rewarding progression and endgame content. While some appreciate the potential for roleplaying and find enjoyment in the grind, many feel that the gameplay becomes monotonous and lacks meaningful choices or challenges as they advance. Overall, the grinding mechanic is a divisive aspect, appealing to some but leaving others feeling unsatisfied.

    • “However, this is probably the most tedious game I have ever played.”
    • “The game is quite simple, but grindy.”
    • “They should rename it 'Finger Cramp Simulator,' because its main way to make money is through tapping a screen over and over, and it is incredibly grindy. Do not download if you value your fingers.”
  • graphics
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the simple aesthetic and potential for improvement, while others criticize the reliance on AI-generated artwork, suggesting it lacks coherence and depth. Although the visuals are deemed satisfactory by some, many reviewers express a desire for more traditional artwork and enhanced graphical content to elevate the overall experience. Overall, while the graphics are not the game's strongest aspect, they are seen as having potential for future development.

    • “This game is awesome with fantastic jobs and graphics, but my problem is that no matter what I do I can't hunt an animal.”
    • “Very cool game and good graphics.”
    • “The art style might be outdated but I think it works well.”
    • “While enjoyable, there's room for improvement, particularly in the game's visuals and combat system.”
    • “I also recommend changing AI graphics to real artwork as some of them don't make sense at all.”
    • “It's a very repetitive button clicker with a half-assed medieval aesthetic.”
  • replayability
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players find the game enjoyable but consistently note a significant lack of replayability due to limited content and repetitive gameplay. Suggestions for improvement include adding more money sinks, a prestige system, leaderboards, multiple difficulty levels, and additional challenges to enhance replay value. Many reviewers express hope for future updates to address these issues and increase the game's longevity.

    • “Leaderboards would make this game more replayable.”
    • “Saves, maybe multiple difficulty levels for further replayability, more items to buy or more things to do.”
    • “Once you learn to optimize, you'll fall into a simple loop until you complete the game, but it could potentially have more replay value in the future.”
    • “The game was very nice, if slow at the start, but the main issue is the lack of content and replayability.”
    • “No replay value as nothing changes on another playthrough.”
    • “The game is amazing, but the only thing holding it back for me is its replayability. After a few days, it gets old; I wish there were more things to do.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed feedback, with players expressing a desire for more options to customize or mute the sound. While some appreciate the inclusion of Ukrainian music and find it uplifting, others feel that the lack of polish and customization options detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the music is seen as a potential highlight, but improvements are needed for a more satisfying experience.

    • “A short animation for some very important event will do, and an added music background will uplift players' spirits.”
    • “Also 5 stars for Ukrainian music and language.”
    • “Its a cool game; the one thing that I hope to see in the future is an option to enable or disable sound and music.”
    • “It's a cool game, but the one thing I hope to see in the future is an option to enable or disable sound and music.”

    • “Would be 5 stars if I could mute the music.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the humor in the game, noting that the developers' claim about the update slowing down progress is ironically contradicted by their own rapid advancement. Additionally, a specific joke about a stolen boot has been highlighted as particularly amusing, showcasing the game's clever writing.

    • “The funny thing about the new update is the devs say it makes things slower, but I just went from 1 village to god emperor of the world in 40 minutes.”
    • “That joke about the stolen boot in the game was actually really funny.”
  • atmosphere

    • “I love the atmosphere, idea, and story of this game.”
    • “I love the atmosphere, idea, and story of this game, but I couldn't play it. The fast clicking mechanic is just too annoying and feels like an unnecessary chore. I have to uninstall it... but I love the rest.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's foundation for character development but desire more content and options, such as the ability to have children or multiple partners, to enhance the RPG experience. They believe that expanding the narrative routes and choices would significantly improve the overall character progression.

    • “I really enjoyed this game; I even completed every task and quest available. I hope it will get more content and expand the map soon. It would be great if you could have kids and multiple wives or a harem. The game has a decent starting point, and I like it; it just needs more content and different routes or options for character development, like an RPG.”
    • “The game has a decent starting ground, but it only needs more content and different routes or options for character development, like an RPG.”
    • “I hope it'll get more content and expand the map soon, as the character development feels limited right now.”
    • “While I enjoyed completing every task and quest, the lack of depth in character development is disappointing.”
