    132 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this title is characterized by its intuitive mechanics and a unique card-based system that allows players to influence the development of their human civilization. However, many users express frustration with the lack of control over gameplay outcomes, excessive randomness, and a shallow gameplay loop that can lead to repetitive experiences. While the game offers a charming aesthetic and a satisfying exploration of mechanics, it ultimately falls short in depth and balance, leaving players wanting more complexity and clearer guidance.

    • “The gameplay was quite fun and watching the little humans become smarter and build more stuff was very soothing for me for some reason.”
    • “The game devs do a great job of allowing you to explore and discover the game's mechanics yourself, and the bite-sized gameplay and unlocking new cards gives it that perfect 'just one more go' vibe.”
    • “Simple yet addictive mechanics make for a very enjoyable gameplay experience.”
    • “I want to like this game, but its core gameplay of having very little influence on what your humans do leads to an endless cycle of them starving or ignoring items unless you play it exactly a certain way.”
    • “The gameplay system is unclear and ugly, with two frustrating 'soft game overs': if you waste all thunder cards or allow building a church, it's the end - you just cannot continue and have to reset your half-hour playthrough.”
    • “The gameplay isn't very deep, the cards aren't interesting, and the game's feedback is poor; it can be difficult to tell what's going on or whether you're helping.”
  • graphics
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally described as charming and cute, with a preference for pixel art and minimalistic designs that enhance the gameplay experience without overwhelming the player. While some users appreciate the simplicity and aesthetic appeal, others find the graphics occasionally too rudimentary or pixelated, impacting clarity. Overall, the visuals are considered adequate for the game's style and contribute positively to its fun factor.

    • “The graphics, sound effects, and music are simple, but they don't affect the fun factor at all.”
    • “The art style and animations are simple but brilliant and the music suits the setting perfectly.”
    • “This is a great game - nice cute stylised graphics, animations and sound, very replayable, and quite a lot of stuff you can do considering the price.”
    • “The game is finicky, villager AI is terrible, gameplay is unintuitive and frustrating more than fun, graphics aren't good enough to be cute in my opinion, music and sound effects gave me a migraine.”
    • “I'm not a fan of the extremely low-res graphics either, which makes it hard to tell what stuff is.”
    • “No creative expression, no unique challenge, no narrative, uninspired aesthetic and sound design, generally just no flavor of any kind.”
  • replayability
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed, with some players finding it enjoyable for a few hours, especially if they aim to collect achievements or explore different outcomes. However, many reviewers noted a lack of depth and variety, leading to limited replay value beyond initial playthroughs. While some appreciated the potential for replayability through endless modes and unlocks, others felt the game could benefit from more content to enhance its longevity.

    • “The minimalistic graphics are really nice, there is not too much to keep track of, there is a good bit of replayability if you are someone who wants to get all achievements or see every possible outcome.”
    • “Sweet little game with surprising depth and high replayability.”
    • “This is a great game - nice cute stylized graphics, animations and sound, very replayable, and quite a lot of stuff you can do considering the price.”
    • “Super short game, not much in the way of replayability.”
    • “Sadly it had zero replay value, so I thought - here is its predecessor from the same Sockpop, and with very positive reviews, definitely a thing I should buy.”
    • “It's almost impossible to get any specific result intentionally, giving no replay value because every game is exactly the same as every one before it.”
  • music
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, described as charming, cute, and fitting for the game's atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience. While some players appreciate the relaxing soundtrack, others note that the inability to toggle music and sound effects separately can be frustrating. Overall, the music contributes positively to the game's cozy and playful vibe, despite some mixed opinions on its impact.

    • “The art style and animations are simple but brilliant and the music suits the setting perfectly.”
    • “A fun card-based god simulator game; provides hours of entertainment with relaxing music and adorable graphics.”
    • “Nice soundtrack and impactful effects.”
    • “The game is finicky, villager AI is terrible, gameplay is unintuitive and frustrating more than fun; graphics aren't good enough to be cute in my opinion, and the music and sound effects gave me a migraine.”
    • “Would be nice to toggle music and sounds separately.”
    • “Can't turn off music and SFX separately, only together.”
  • humor
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, characterized by its quirky and often absurd scenarios, such as humans worshiping unusual objects and engaging in comical antics. Players appreciate the lighthearted and sometimes morbid humor, which complements the game's simple mechanics and adds to its charm. Overall, the humor enhances the experience, making it a fun and entertaining god simulator.

    • “Funny anecdote: one of my humans once started to worship a piece of feces.”
    • “A great way to waste some time and have some fun at the same time with morbid humor and strategy combined.”
    • “If you think you would like what doesn't seem much more than a crude god-game with little to no control and a quirky sense of humor, you might enjoy this one!”
  • stability
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been widely criticized for its instability, with users reporting frequent bugs, crashes, and unpredictable AI behavior that can detract from the overall experience. While the gameplay is enjoyable and engaging, the numerous glitches and performance issues, particularly on Mac, significantly hinder its stability and reliability. Despite some minor UI improvements, many players find the game frustratingly buggy, impacting their ability to fully enjoy it.

    • “Fun, but buggy and often doesn't work the way you expect.”
    • “I'd like to be able to recommend this game as it seems really fun when I get to play it for more than a minute, but the game (after the 1.4.7 patch as well) constantly freezes and crashes.”
  • grinding
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and frustrating, often requiring significant time investment without meaningful progression. While the game's concept and mechanics are intriguing, many reviewers note that the experience becomes repetitive and monotonous after a few hours, particularly when discoveries and resources run dry. Overall, the grinding can detract from the enjoyment, making it feel like a chore rather than a rewarding challenge.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “At this point, the game becomes tedious and frustrating.”
    • “This game has an intriguing concept and a quaint card game mechanic, but there's only about 2 hours of playtime before it gets incredibly tedious and repetitive.”
