- “It's fun! I like how there's a tutorial in the beginning. The graphics are nice, and I also love how events like floods can happen. You also have the option to turn them off or increase them, same with map size and difficulty.”
- “Hi team, I played the beta version on my mobile and was well engaged with this content. However, I need to emphasize the need for graphical improvements. This is a city builder, but there are no green areas compared to the PC version. Improving the eye-catching experience would be beneficial.”
- “Do quickly to improve the graphic content like PC terrain and buildings, smoke, weather, and water. We have good devices to play; you need to improve the quality. Thank you, I appreciate your teamwork.”
- “Some graphical errors and bugs with villagers and their animations - nothing crazy.”
- “I thought it was beautiful compared to PC, but here on mobile, the graphics are ugly.”

- “And also, please add warfare mechanics in the game so players can play and expand more, and add more wild animals or maybe different varieties of predators. Also, in the disaster mechanic, please add an invasion and some AI settlements that we can interact with or attack.”
