    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the settlement-building mechanics reminiscent of classic titles like Stronghold, while others criticize the slow progression due to free-to-play mechanics and poor user interface. Many feel that the gameplay is overly precise for mobile devices and suggest improvements, such as reducing building times and implementing auto-resource collection, to enhance the overall experience.

    • “I'm enjoying the building of your settlement, albeit painfully slow due to free-to-play mechanics.”
    • “It's a great game; it really captures that stronghold gameplay we all love!”
    • “Time taken for building should be reduced, and there should be auto resource collection. It does make sense to open the game every 2 minutes. The game can reach its potential with a lot of improvement; they just need to copy PC gameplay exactly.”
    • “Gameplay is too precise for a phone screen.”
    • “Time taken for building should be reduced and there should be auto resource collection. It doesn't make sense to open the game every 2 minutes.

    • “The graphics are okay but not amazing.”
    • “Terrible UI graphics and gameplay; I do not recommend.”
