“Hi team, I played the beta version on my mobile and was well engaged with this content. However, I believe the game needs graphical improvements because, as a city builder, there is not enough greenery compared to the PC version. It needs to provide a more eye-catching experience.”
“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.”
“It's fun! I like how there is 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, along with map size and difficulty.”
“I am using Black Shark 4 and can play graphic demanding games, but this one is seriously bad.”
“Hi team, I played the beta version on my mobile and was well engaged with this content, but the graphics need improvement. This is a city builder, but there is no green area compared to PC; it needs to improve the eye-catching experience.”

The gameplay is praised for its engaging mechanics, allowing players to build settlements and choose technologies, contributing to high replay value. However, users have noted issues with glitches, online login requirements, and a lack of automatic saving, which detracts from the overall experience. Suggestions for improvement include adding warfare mechanics, more wildlife variety, and interactive AI settlements to enhance gameplay depth.
“I love the mechanics of playing, and how I get to build the entire settlement from the ground up and choose the tech I use to do so.”
“Once you learn the mechanics, it's pretty chill.”
“Overall gameplay is good and has high replay value.”
“Or you can just strip mine the whole map and ignore the mechanics.”
“If you can fix it in the next update: after playing for almost 5 hours of gameplay, I'm encountering a problem that it always requires online login.”
“But the game didn't save automatically... can I get my gameplay backup back???”

The game currently suffers from significant optimization issues, particularly on mobile devices, leading to performance problems, lag, and UI bugs. Players have noted that touch controls and speed settings require improvement, and overall, the game needs more attention to enhance its performance across all platforms. Despite its potential, many users feel that it is not yet adequately optimized for a smooth gaming experience.
“I have not built a colony that can adequately stress test optimization yet, but from what I've seen, the team cares about this game.”
“Honestly, it seems like a great game, but the touch controls need optimization, and the x5 speed feels like what x2 speed should be, so the game plays very slowly.”
“Good gameplay, but it needs more optimization.”
“Unfortunately, the game needs a lot of touch optimization.”
“After the update, the game started to overheat my device even after I set it to the lowest setting. The UI still bugs sometimes, and we still only have sandbox and standard mode. It needs more love and optimization for this platform.”
“You should fix the UI, the game optimization, and bugs since it is really laggy and sometimes glitches.”
