Good game

This is a nice little building game. I’ve been playing it for years now. It’s complicated enough to keep you engaged but not so difficult that it’s frustrating or impossible to complete the tasks. Just the thing to while away a few hours. The only issue I’ve had recently is that sometimes a quest won’t fulfill when you have the supplies. That might not be a problem in a sandbox game but in a timed quest or one that you need to fulfill to move on it’ll stop your game. For example I currently have a quest to sell 30 pigs. I have 500+ pigs in inventory and the quest won’t finish. I’ve restarted the game to no avail.

My all time favorite game. Best developers ever!

I almost always read the reviews before downloading a game, so this review is for people like me who want to know if the game is worth it. ITS AWESOME!! Listen, if you like building a town from the bottom up, managing everything from water to wood and food, then this is your game. There’s an ad about every 30 minutes- I’m not kidding! I actually enjoy the ad because it’s only twice an hour, THATS IT! You don’t have to spend money unless you want to and the townies are so freaking cute! Especially when they get mad, there’s a little angry tornado above their head when they’re mad. ❤️ Everything about this game is creative, fun, cute and I just played for 6 hours and didn’t realize so much time had passed, I just got lost managing the little people. I just built a church and a bar right next to each other to see if they get along, lol. Well, my review is a thousand stars, thumbs up all day long and extremely highly recommend. Thank you developers, you did good. Real good. ❤️

Big Fan

I’ve been playing this game for several years now and it’s still my favorite, daily game. Glad I bit the bullet and paid the $3 to get rid of ads, really improved the game quality and eliminated the interruption. I would like to say that I’m still holding out for some updates… new scenarios, additional building, adds to the decorations, additional researches… looks like it might cap out at level 25… but it’s taken me 3 years of nearly daily game play to get to that level, so that ain’t bad. I’m a big fan of the goal driven sandbox type games and overall this game appeals to my task oriented mind & desire to fulfill the needs of my little minions. Thank you for the create.

ThePhiphVersion: 1.14.9
Great Time Waster

The game is pretty slow paced but that’s alright because there’s a fast forward feature you can use. When it runs out, in game currency or an add can refill it for free! No micro transactions are required to play the game successfully, and there’s both scenarios that are story based and guided, and a fully open ended sand-box! I’ve “completed” a good handful of towns and still have a decent interest in the game, but it does have fairly limited features and may get boring quickly for some people. Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who has free time they want to get rid of, and people who enjoy other city building games.

Kalvbarb >:)Version: 1.14.9
Truthful Review, please read before downloading

Honestly, I think the reviews on this game are a little harsh. The only ads on the game is just a banner on the top and a 30 second video every ten or fifteen minutes. This is a really good game considering it is free. It is perfect for airplane rides or long car trips since it doesn’t take internet to play. You can build just a town or do challenges. This game could last you at least a year before you run out of things to do. This is a great game if your just bored. Side note: free games usually need to have some ads because that is the only way to make money. You can just buy a pass to stop the ads for around $3.

Needs More

Really like this game although you reach a point where you’re out of land and the options to build have all been used…. You hit a wall, basically, and the game is no fun anymore. They need more buildings, events, etc… and to provide more land. It’s at a point where all I’m doing is logging in to collect taxes and fix smoldering buildings. Also, some of the programming just doesn’t make sense; like the town catching fire when it’s pouring rain. 🤷🏼‍♂️

PatricklkeownVersion: 1.14.3
A fantastic play

I really enjoy this game. I don’t usually keep games for very long but I’ve been playing this one off and on for years. I can consistently play it and it’s a lot of fun. I only have trouble with a couple things. 1. Storage. Nothing can work to it’s maximum without running out of storage. 2. This may just be a skill issue but I can never manage to have any grape juice or brew at my tavern despite my making it in my production buildings. Beyond those things I really enjoy the game. I love completing all the worlds and not being confined to just one.

Elizabeth 112123Version: 1.14.9
Best alternative to The Settlers

I’ve exhausted this game! Played all the scenarios and much of the sandbox missions. Frustrating at first but once you figure out how to balance your economy, and in particular, the importance of warehouse frequency and placement, this game flows along nicely. The only thing I miss is a proper military functionality along the lines of The Settlers which for some reason disappeared off the store some years ago. This one just requires you to place towers strategically, supply them with the required goods and your soldiers auto defend. One more thing. Pay the 2 bucks to remove ad banner, it’s well worth it.

Eakster69Version: 1.14.2
Simple Medieval Town Sim

It’s the perfect little time killer. At first it seems like a lot is going on, but the tutorials guide you through the process; eventually, keeping track of everything is a lot simpler than it seemed. Also, especially in a game that offers a sandbox mode, generally you don’t want to lack for tasks or responsibilities. I’ve probably played for about a month. The scenarios are fun, and the sandbox town is as well. The sandbox does eventually grow a little stale, but there is only so much any game can give you.

HdiejsnkdfjjdiosdidiVersion: 1.14.9
A lovely town management game

If your looking for a new town building game, this is the one your looking for. The gameplay is slow at first, but it has that old timely feel to it that gives this game its rating. You have to manage food, money, water, and bandits to have you Townes to survive all four seasons. You can also select scenarios which is basically the story mode of this game or you could just select survival. Long story short, this game is very lovely to play if you like real town management.

Jumper90000Version: 1.12.2
Like Banished for Mobile

I love the old computer game Banished, and Townsmen satisfies in much the same way. I only wish it had some extra hard settings. But the gameplay is reasonable challenging and quite immersive, so that I have to set an alarm to remind myself to stop playing… A detail that makes a big difference for me: it can be played offline and doesn’t pull too much battery! Also if it was ever a “pay to play” game, it is not anymore. All you need is patience and thoughtful choices to soon have all the resources you need. Personally I think the game would be a bit boring without limitless fast-forward, so if you enjoy the game play and you only want to pay for one perk, that’s the one I recommend. Overall an excellently designed, well-balanced experience.

ArlinzyVersion: 1.14.9
Addicting, relaxing, fun!

I have been playing this fun little game on and off for a long time now. I’ve done some challenges, but my most favorite thing to do is play the unlimited mode. The game is very simple - hard at first, but you catch on real fast thanks to the great tutorial. Main points are: Keep your Townies happy Build up the village Perform quests for your king Don’t lower your Townies happiness below 80% Okay, that last one was more of a tip then anything else... I am bummed there’s no tiny Townie children running around, that would add a new challenge to the game (school, games, toys, apprenticeship, etc) but I’m okay with it I suppose. Just always struck me odd there were soooo many Townies and Townettes and yet never any Tiny Townies. Great game, have loved it since day one of the games release ages ago. Thanks guys!

Kitten2021Version: 1.10.9
Great Game

I love this game and it is very addictive. A problem with the game is the ads, a third of your screen is covered with ads and every once in a while you have to watch a 30sec-1min long ad that you can’t skip. It cost 3 or 4 dollars to get rid of ads which is alright for a free game. Premium isn’t worth it btw, it doesn’t get rid of ads but gives you some coins. I’d recommend the game. There isn’t really any bugs I’ve noticed and the gameplay is quite fun.

TJayMoney7Version: 1.12.2
The best building game

I was playing this game from the first time I released today, one of the best saliva on the mobile And I hope the developers add new things and don't let the god die 1- Adding new maps (desert - forests - swamps) 2- Adding new enemies (monsters - mercenary soldiers - mysterious events, wolves or bears) 3- Adding a new mining source for minerals (diamonds - emerald) 4- The ability to change the ground, for example, not to raise the hills or lift them 6- Adding a new building, for example: 1- Cow farm - Chicken farm - 2- Guard towers 3- New recruitment centers (cavalry - arrows - armored) I hope the developers do not leave the game and update it with new additions, even if a few of what I mentioned. I have been a fan of this game for more than a decade.

AbdufoxVersion: 1.14.9
Good…but gets boring.

I like the fact that it is different from other building games in the fact that time only goes while you are playing it. You don’t have to wait 2 actual days for crops to grow like most games. However, once you get to the higher levels the game becomes boring. More quest, or some different buildings would be nice. I’m currently on level 8.

MiawhatleyVersion: 1.14.3
Good Game with Ads, Great game without

This is a really good game, but if you get rid of the ad banner up at the top of the screen, it would increase the size of what you can see and do, also it is very annoying when I am playing and I hit the banner on accident and I get sent to the store. Overall it is a good game, but it could be better without the ads.

Elijah Jude DukeVersion: 1.14.2
I love this game

Sure there are a few adds like the banner at the top and one every few mins. But in reality it’s a very good game. It’s fun and teaches a little bit about how things are made. For example you need to have a system of things to build before you can have a really cool thing because everything works together.

AndiPeachesVersion: 1.14.2
My son show me my old memories.

I was play this game very long time ago when thre is no ADS in it. Tonight i saw my son is playing and showe me his vellage and he said "Dad did you know this game ? the villager is sick how can i cure them, they almost dying, pls help me "😄😄😄 this look like younger version of me. Very satisfy and suddenly i miss my old days. thanks for creating this game. ❤️❤️❤️

Been playing since middle school...

And I still love it! 🍀 Now I’m on my way to college and this game will always be on every phone I own. Very enjoyable and helps me practice leading and how to save my resources. Been playing on and off since then. Extremely addicting though, in a good way! I don't mind the ads. Still not sure how different it is from Townsmen Premium though.

K-review-zVersion: 1.14.2
This one is really special 😊

This game is actually really good, I never played any game like this before, the idea of it is really nice, and you can get addicted to the game really fast, The atmosphere, the music, even the art of the game is really nice, so if you ask me I tell you to give this game a shot, it’s really, really good, thank you so much for making such a lovely game, and keep up the good work 🖐😔👌

8Snowpink8Version: 1.14.2
Absolutely the best

I have played this game for years. I would put it down and try others but always come back to this. When i lost rrhw use of one hand i thought my gaming days were over, but this game allows me to play easily and not be stuck matching or shooting objects. It is also played in landscape viewallowing easy one handed play.

StrrseVersion: 1.14.2
Fun Strategy Game

It’s pretty great. My only issues are that there isn’t one fee to unlock the game “extras” and then the in game ads to purchase those extras are annoying. The other is that some of the ads are really inappropriate especially as this game is rated 4+. I don’t know how much control they have over that but they should look into it.

BeeMary37Version: 1.14.2
Absolutely Amazing

Honestly I got nothing bad to say,especially because the ads are so .....not there like the rate of the adds is so low,I love the content,different seasons,plague it’s just soooo good,I love that I don’t hav to pay to win,you can watch ads for the stuff so it not only is money friendly but it’s addicting because nearly everything about it is free,GREAT JOB

Nostalgic

Really fun game of city building. Supply chains make things interesting, and whimsical graphics are fun. I played one of the first Serf City games as a teenager on PC and they’ve kept the spirit of them. The ads at the top of the screen are annoying though. Totally worth it to just pay to get rid of them if you like the game at all.

John the coolestVersion: 1.12.2
Played for YEARS!

Amazing game! I love the open world style games and this is my absolute fave, I spent some in real life money to get the unlimited speed up (totally worth it) maybe add some more food buildings like a chicken coop, to get eggs and meat, feathers. Maybe cows for milk and leather? I would love to see horses but that’s pushing a little too far lol. Thanks for reading!

The best game in my childhood

I played this game when I was a kid and it was so fun I always played it but after I got my new iPad I didn’t downloaded in my new iPad and after some years I forgot the game name and I tried so much to remember finally I remembered and now I’m playing it

Hazha2006Version: 1.14.3
Fun

A good time waster without needing to pay to play constantly. Paid the $4 to get rid of the ads and that fixed the ads getting in the way. The pop-up for pay double experience points is very annoying which is why I deducted the star. Throw that aside and the game is enjoyable and has enough to it to be engaging.

Ka_ChingVersion: 1.14.1
Fantastic

I’ve been searching for a town builder that could hold my attention and interest for more than a half hour and this one does it. It’s deceptively challenging! I love it and have no issue paying to remove the ads because tbh this should be a paid game anyway.

Ell-EssVersion: 1.14.2
Too addictive!

This game offers enough challenge to keep me interested, but not so much that I get frustrated. Pacing is just about perfect to keep me playing for as long as I want. This is the problem. I have done very little in the days since I downloaded it besides play this game.

DubjonathanVersion: 1.12.2
Best city building game

I first played this game back in 2012. After 14 years this still best game. BGM, simulation every thing. Wish they could make some gameplay changes and new buildings. But overall it’s best option on mobile platforms

Kk Y'kosVersion: 1.14.9
Hello pls read

So so far I really love the game I’ve played millions of times but when ur doin a sand box pls make it easier for new people and it’s really hard to make ur townies happy while keeping a steady pace for the town so pls make it a lil easier to get gold and food and stuff

Unkown18474Version: 1.14.3
I love it

I’ve had it before, and had to re-download because I got a new phone, i just love the art style and how things can go from a calm city builder to crisis management depending on what you’ve built. If you need a time-killer, there isn’t a better game for it.

Brony with a fedoraVersion: 1.14.2
What a fun game!

Paid $2.99 to get rid of ads and have enjoyed hours and hours of very enjoyable gameplay. And while I have to worry about in-game bandits, I don’t have to worry about other players attacking my town.

This game is awesome I love playing it during car rides it keeps my mind distracted and I don’t know why people are complaining about ads just turn of your internet then the ads will go by by👌👍

I love this game and that it doesn’t require Internet to play. My only wish is that the developers would offer expansion packs for more scenarios and possibly more upgrades to advance civilization.

WicKed

This game has everything, almost, that I would want in a world/city builder game, and a few thingz I didn’t know I wanted until they hit ya with it. The seasons are a genius idea, I’ve always loved extreme weather so just having the seasons and related storms is amazing. So thank you, very much for that guys. (Maybe amp up the sound of the thunderstorms a bit) It’s pretty cool seeing the villagers running threw the snow and the fall leaves changing. I’m starting to see a lot of awesome lil things just waiting to be unlocked. I’m still figuring it all out, I’m a few days in now and growing nicely I think. Some of it is a little confusing within the general game play and not clarified - like what the buttons all mean when interacting with villagers and buildings. The story isn’t too, too bad, but the speed and way you unlock items like houses and farms etc is maddening. - We can see what’s waiting to be unlocked but have to wait for the story to get there, slowly. And even then ..it waits and teaches you how to ‘not tick your villagers off’ by starving them for you, as you watch and wait helplessly ..theeen it unlocks the fishing hut, or water well. :P But seriously, this is an amazing game that has a little of everything. And the best part is that it’s not centered around attacking and battling. It just keeps getting better and better. It’s the perfect combination of creating a village that works and survives (down to the last apple), with the creative layout side as well. It could use a few more stand out, colorful decorative items or trees/flowers etc but so far it’s pretty good. Highly recommended to anyone who like to build towns and think they might like a run one too. Cheerz!

WicKedShaydesVersion: 1.12.1
Great Game

Nice city design game! Even paid 5.50$ for the ads free version. The only thing I was is the option of zoom out even more. That way it'll be a lot faster to cross the map. Please add this feature and you'll have 5 stars!! Please....

CraigtinselVersion: 1.14.9
Great game!

Terrific game, not a multiplayer game but with many scenarios to solve. Perfect for not having to watch the clock or having to battle with strangers. Would like the ability to scroll through like-buildings in order to maintain them in some of the larger scenarios.

CodejunkyVersion: 1.14.3
Really great game

It’s a really great game to play. I admire that the time you spend is what you get in return. It’s not a game where you come back after 24 hours and stuff is done nore is it a game where you have to wait 3 days for something to be built. I made a purchase to make the ADs go away, cheap investment. Highly recommend it.

YudnaVersion: 1.14.3
Très bon jeu, mais...

Payer pour retirer la pubs n’enlève pas la pub des concepteurs, qui est trop omniprésente à mon avis! Les scenarii sont un peu trop axés sur la consommation payante de couronnes, ce qui n’était pas le cas aux premières heures du jeu. Je crois que le côté militaire reste encore à améliorer. La manipulation du jeu, le « game play » est convivial, facile et coloré. J’apprécie l’option du français (très gros plus)! L’environnement sonore et épuré de façon à ne pas trop trop nous énerver à la longue. Autre énorme plus pour moi, pas besoin de connexion internet pour jouer (conséquemment, pas de multijoueur)!

Le Chat mortVersion: 1.14.2
Love it, except

This game is like my whole childhood, I love it so much, except the one thing is the ads that take up a good 1/3 of the screen. Since I love this game so much I’ll give the money to remove ads but for the sake of everyone one else, pls make the ad banner smaller <3 Also, I loved the old sawmill, I wish it never got changed, but the new design isn’t bad either, and plssssss more scenarios

NitrdesdtrfVersion: 1.14.2
Good but could be better

The game is really good and it really feels progressive, however it can also feel pretty slow since the buildings take a while to build. Also, I kind of wished the game would offer a bit more combat opportunities, just to spice things up a bit. But besides that, I really like how the building all depend on one and other to function properly, which makes the game feel a lot more real.

YankeefluVersion: 1.14.2
Pleasantly surprised

I haven’t played a a mobile game I found worth sticking to in a long time. This is my favourite game of all the gaming apps I’ve played in the last few months. I actually spent money on it. Smh. But it was worth it. If you’re into building, problem solving and just watching your little men work and thrive try it!

Great change from the same old crap. You actually have to think when playing. Not a good game for the mindless zombies out there. Little cheap on crown points but I my be guilty of not figuring that part out yet.

Suicidebomber15364Version: 1.14.1
💜

To be honest is a very good game. Everything I love in a game is in there, but if we can move the building after we place it that will be very nice. I really love to decorate my village and move thing But every time I have to move a building I have to delete and rebuild it. Cost money and time. If you can think about it to put that option that will be absolutely amazing 😉

Great game for traveling!

I love this game. We downloaded it a few years ago and had a great time! I just reloaded it to have something to play on the plane and it continues to amuse. Just the right amount of thought required to keep it interesting, but not so much that you lose the thread if you need to put it down.

DirectisVersion: 1.10.9
Awesome game!!!

I’ve been looking really hard for a city builder game that felt like really building a city, most mobile city builders are too boring or not what I was looking for, but This game has everything that makes the genre a great genre. Didn’t even mind spending money on the no ads version.

Salham06Version: 1.12.2

This is so cool and fun! Please keep on updating this game! It's only getting better!

Automan336Version: 1.8.1
Finally! No time based garbage!

I'm loving this game! I've been looking for a fun game that allows me to build without having to sit around and wait - this game gives it. Even better is there's no pressure to spend a load of real money to move forward in the game (the quest system helps you with this)! Note: it's important that you play the tutorial or else you may get lost in the complexity of the game. The one piece that could be changed: the game stops when you close the app. It would be nice if your production continued, even if at a slower pace. Overall: this game DEFINITELY deserves your attention! I've been playing non-stop for two days now.

This game takes some time to get into but is worth the time. You slowly research upgrades that allow you to build much larger villages. It is challenging and a great strategy game for killing time.

This game is pretty cool it like stronghold but no war and stuff but it would be better if like... You choose your nation like great Britian of Prussia or Austria and Roman Empire but still this game is good

Awesome

I love this game I find that I can't stop playing it, there are really good graphics for a game like this most games just have everything kinda blurry when u zoom in. But it would be nice if there were some new buildings like a dock and it would go out and get crabs(food) or something. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FIVE STARS!!!!

Townsmen - Medieval Strategy Negative Reviews and Ratings

Addicting, but needs more

Ive been playing for several months now, off and on. It’s an enjoyable way to wind down at night. I’m still frustrated by the game mechanics. I’m limited in how much I can sell, even with the trade guild building. Don’t bother building more than one, as you can only max 100 items of any six products (max) at a time. A second trade building taps that same storage, so you don’t double the amount you can sell. The limits on sales means I’m shutting down production, or dumping stock on a regular basis. None of my production buildings can run at full labor capacity, because I run out of storage. Most of my workers are running around the storage buildings. Excess workers end up in security patrols or fire watches, only to end up in the tavern with the other off duty men most of the time. Did you know the hard working ladies never go to the tavern? They spend their down time primping near water fountains and flower gardens. Yes, it is a sexist medieval society, but definitely not based on real medieval history. And it would be nice to click on or off the various bad events, because sometimes it is a long wait between them, or the barbarian invaders come too frequently. Also would be nice to go past level 25, which I guess is the max level. I’ve unlocked everything, so there’s no incentive other than watching the folks scurry around. I guess it’s time to find a different game.

Mild fun ruined by poor mechanics

This game is right up my alley as I am a huge fan of the banished/anno/stronghold and builder games. I also understand the balance of offering the game at a low or free cost by including incentives etc to watch ads/participate in offers. This game is fun, but in the end the balance of fun to ads/offers is overwhelming. In the free version you can expect the top 15% or so of your screen to be continual add banner. In addition to this, you will have to watch short ads every once in a while with the usual find the x close mechanic. These can be removed with a fairly reasonable one time fee ($2.99 if I recall correctly). None of that affects my opinion of the game in a negative manner. Where this game fails is in the additional mechanics of prestige and Thaler. Think of Thaler as in game gold that can be earned through selling goods etc., and prestige as the pay to play mechanic where you either need to partake in offers or pay real money to get more. Note: they do have a mechanic where you can watch ads for a small amount of free prestige, but as of this review it is not working. The pacing of the game is tied so aggressively to these two mechanics that it is unreasonable if not impossible to expect to play it without purchasing prestige. In a more highly polished and engaging game (or if the watch adds for prestige mechanic actually worked) this might be a bit more forgivable, but the balance is way off here.

Boring, ad-riddled

This is the most ads I’ve ever seen on a game. The extreme nature of sucking money out of this mediocre town-building game is almost absurd. There is a permanent (unless you give the company money of course) large black band of constant ads that takes up about 1/4 of the screen, as well as ads that just stop your play and force you to watch, sometimes 30 seconds long. It’s clear the “game” here was secondary, as there are so many arbitrary limits on things. There’s a level system, but you can only level up to 25. There’s a fast forward system, but after 60 seconds of cumulative use (meaning if you turn it off it does not reset) you have to use the real-world money option to fast forward, and unless you like just staring blankly and doing nothing you will need to fast forward. There’s a cap on the number of goods you can sell, for no discernible reason but to limit your income possibilities so you have to spend real money. The gameplay has a LOT of downtime...be prepared to spend much of your time just...waiting. You know, everyone’s favorite part of playing a game. The music in the game is a series of about four clips that change, without any attempt at transition, maybe every 15 to 30 seconds. This feels like My First Sim Game, and then they slapped 4000 ads on it and figured it would print money. The UI is confusing and ugly, consisting of dull browns and bright reds that clash at every opportunity. The NPCs have no personality. There is nothing quirky or cute or fun here...it’s extremely bare bones, designed only to get you to spend money. Play something else.

Broken Ads

Fun game with a lot of map options and many ways to create your town. It, however, gets a little irritating that so much requires watching ads (unless you want to pay $$) to do, but the ads are getting more and more stuck. First it was just the SnapChat ad that didn’t give you an exit button, but now it’s almost every ad. No way to forward to another window or close the one you’re in. So, for example, to build a farm you may watch an entire ad for the prestige but then have to close out the entire app just to get out of it, forfeiting the prestige you just watched it for. The most recent update specifically states “to fix broken ads” sooooo just letting you know that it didn’t work.

Ads out of control

It's a good game that would get Many more downloads probably If they got their ads under control. It's a legitimate money trap. First you need to get rid if the banner firm the actual gameplay screen. Put it in the pause menu and the main menu. If you must have it on the gameplay screen then half the size and get rid of the videos that appear periodically. Anyway for videos that come give the players a minutes heads up and the option to play it instantly so they can play it when their is nothing important going on. Also make it so the instant speed up recharges 5 seconds of speed up time every 5 minutes your playing that stage. That or you can watch a 30 second video to recharge 5 seconds. Until they cut back on the ads don't download because it just ruins gameplay.

No ptestage

I like this game but will probably stop playing. First all my ads are in Spanish. I only speak English. Then I have no prestige at all. The timer spins forever. No ptrestage to help I will quit without prestige a challange I was doing took forever. The bar to the building was completely red showing it was built but it took the worker at least 20 more trips for materials to build it. WHAT? I was seeing ads at the top of my teen for thinfpgs in my area. Coffee shops. Insurance etc. strange thing is my location service for this app was TURNED OFF. So when I realized riptide was happening I turned off all locationservices guess what? The app crashed. So people when asked “allow app to track” and you push the NO button. That’s useless they are still tracking you

Changes....

Hi there I am, well I can't say who I am. I have a complaint, do you think you have a sandbox? If that was a sandbox, I'm pretty sure you should have unlimited resources as far as I know. If you want me to be happy and others too, I think you should rename sandbox, to freeplay. I mean, it would make more sense right? Because other games have freeplay gamemodes that are exactly like your "sandbox." I think if you want to keep the sandbox title, make an actual sandbox mode. I would love it! Please and thank you for reading. P.S. I think your awesome if you read this, because if your reading this, you took the time to read my entire text. Thanks👍

Incredibly boring, shameful ads

Given the dearth of supply management games on iOS, I hate to give this game a bad review. However, this game is just plain bad. Even ignoring the ever present ad that takes up half the screen, there is really not much here. The buildings take forever, you have to click residences to collect money, and there is just nothing to do but wait for stuff to complete. Paying for the full version gets rid of the ads but it does nothing to speed up the gameplay. Of course, you can keep spending real money to speed up the game for one minute and make it less of a snooze fest but this is a shameful tactic. Apparently, I'd played this game before today but it was so forgettable that I have no recollection of it.

Need more options added.

This game is good to play. * May I suggest that you add the ability to move buildings instead of plowing them down and having to rebuild them? * Storage is never enough in my warehouses, please increase the storage amount. * No matter how much beer or wine I buy, it’s never enough. I get so tired of the constant reminder/warning. I buy beer and wine and as soon as I go back to the game, it’s gone. WTH! * Why am I limited on what I can sell or buy? I will never get ahead in the game if these limits stay the same. Great game but needs to be adjusted.

Great game but with some major issues

First off let me say that I love this game. I’ve been looking for one like it for some time and truly adore the game. Honestly: I’d love to give it a 5 star rating because I love it that much! Here is my issue: one should be able to get “free” prestige or double their prestige by watching ads. The problem is that the ad loads, it plays, and then nothing happens. I’ve watched a half dozen ads with the promise of more prestige and yet, all it does is shows a buffering/loading circle after the ad plays. The game is great, but this issue really bothers me. I’m not sure if it is a glitch or what, but I have tried reloading the game and it still happens

I like it

I enjoy this game a lot and play it all the time but I think there should be some changes. To start I think instead of just wool, wheat and herbs I think you should have other crops like potatoes and corn. You could make a separate farm for sheep like you did for pigs. I also think that there should be easier ways to earn prestige and not so many ads. Lastly, I think that the townies should have kids. When you build a house you could wait a bit and then have a kid be put in the house. They should be able to some jobs but not all jobs.

The Adds has got to stop

I’m rating this game a one star. Not because the game is boring, not because it’s difficult, not even because it has advertisements. The reason this game is getting a one star is because of the “To Much Advertisement” every 5 min to be exact. This game was never like that some years back. Advertising is fine, but the fact you can’t enjoy the game because of advertisements every 5 min. Technically forcing ppl to pay for a non advertisement game is outrageous. So I am officially deleting the game and will not recommend it nor play it.

Confusing and Limited

Started playing and immediately didn’t like it. Very limiting, with no way to move or demolish anything, no way to interact with people, and very unclear on how to check on or manage resources. Also, the women apparently don’t count towards the population, so they are uncountable and not interactive. It’s unclear if they do tasks or not, bc you can’t assign them anything or see what they’re up to, though the sprites appear to be working. Kinda sexist and pretty confusing

Not properly crediting prestige

This game was mildly fun at first, once you filled in the big gaps not covered in the tutorials. Everything hinges on how much prestige and thaler you have in order to move scenarios forward. About a week ago, the option to watch videos to get free prestige or to double prestige quit working. Oh, it lets you watch the video over and over, but then it hangs up and never credits you with the prestige. Now all fun has been offset by lack of “funds” and if they don’t fix it I will delete.

Cash Grab

Game mechanics are pretty ok, one of the more advanced city builders on mobile but requires 3 purchases totaling $10 just to play the game as it should’ve came. Reached a certain level that without the $3.99 permanent 2x purchase, it takes me ages to level up for minimal reward. (Even after the $2.99 unlimited fast forward purchase) All in all, ok if you just want the basics

Reinstate transactions fail

I had to delete and reinstall and lost my purchases. Pressing “reinstate transactions” did nothing. Really annoying.

Was going good

Was doing the trial and instantly uninstalled once I noticed forced ads and nothing in return congrats in 10 sec games forcing ad on you enjoy unstoppable ads

Solid game. Unreasonable ads

Really great concept, gameplay, animation, I liked it. Just couldn't get over the impossible to exit ads. I could never get bonus rewards for ads because the only way out of the ad was to restart the app, so frustrating. Also, the constant ad banner up top PLUS unavoidable periodic ads seems a little over the top. If you want to retain users, pick one or the other.

Could be a good game, but the developer is steadily begging you for more $$$ even after you have paid for the game. Very annoying.

Crashing

I used to love this game, but now it’s crashing constantly in less than a minute when I try to continue a scenario I started yesterday.

25% of screen is permanent advertisement

A good chunk of the screen is permanently taken up by advertisements that you must pay to remove. The advertisements change each minute. I played for 5 mins and couldn’t stand it. Unacceptable. I pay 5-10$ on small packs here and there on all types of different mobile games, but due to how intrusive these advertisements are, I cannot support the game. Shame, it looked fun.

Sexist

I did the tutorial and it’s totally my kind of game. I would have paid for the ad-free version if it wasn’t so sexist. Instead I’m deleting it.

Constant ads

I understand you guys need to make money for your product, but really I can’t even enjoy the game due to the frequency of the ads. Should be once each hour maybe, not every ten minutes or so. I wanted to give it a chance to draw me in enough to want to consider making a purchase, but you guys were too pushy and lost a sale.

Entertaining but limited

It started out ok, and it entertained me for perhaps ten days or so. But after that it just got boring. The “scenarios” were just the same thing but in different order. There was no progression - once you've made all the buildings there’s nothing else new. And the scenarios were just a little bizarre. But the thing I really didn’t like - how utterly sexist it is. To have Townies and Townettes. The men fill all the jobs/roles - the women carry food and go to the market to buy clothes and jewelry. The population count ONLY COUNTS THE MEN. And the scenarios consistently portray female characters as demanding women only interested in luxury/frivolity or the occasional old cranky woman. please! What century are you in?! This disgusted me for it’s sheer laziness and lack of inventiveness. You should be ashamed.

JutfhtrshshVersion: 1.14.1
Pretty sexist

You can tell Townsmen was built by a bunch of guys. (Incels?) It isn’t Townswomen for a reason. Men are “Townies” who walk all over town to cart supplies, fish, create products, and build buildings, and women are diminutive “Townettes” who stay in the home to do homemaking tasks and only come out to complain or go shopping for jewelry and clothes. Like, c’mon guys. You can keep things medieval without being so sexist. They could be male and female “townies,” and the women could source items more integral to home needs (not just vanity), spin cloth, muck stalls, milk goats, build fences, and all the countless manual tasks they actually engaged in... not hide indoors and only come out to shop and complain. Honestly. *facepalm*

Typical freemium

The game is a lot of fun - really great phone game for anyone who likes to build little cities and make them pretty. The resource system is very well done. That being said, the game balance is terrible. There is just this feeling that the resource cost for any building is x10 what it should be, essentially rendering the game unplayable without paying for prestige. I mean, one house makes me 12 gold every 3 mins, but building something like a market costs 760 gold? It would be one thing if I could just wait for hours to make that money, but then all buildings need to be intermittently repaired or they burn down, and the repair cost is crazy. Any tax money made goes to repairs and then some. Of course, anything requiring gold can be paid for instead by prestige. Even fast forwarding time requires prestige. If you don't pay you're just sitting there trying to make enough money for repair costs. It's a shame because this game wasn't always like that. When I first got it maybe 5 years ago it was perfectly playable without having to pay and the balance was great. I had even paid to remove the ads - why did the game developer become so greedy? I would love to play this game more but it's just no longer possible. Wouldn't recommend anyone else waste their time with it.

Love the game but to many ads

I love this game and I have for a long time but the ads really ruin the game, I'll still play it buts it's disappointing to have so many ads.

🐊🐄😅🐓💤Version: 1.5.0
Invasive ads

This game could be alright, but they ruined it with too many ads. To start you have to play with an ad at the top of the screen. But worse they feel the need beg(bribe) to watch ad videos, that is when they aren't forcing you to watch the ad video every 5 minutes.

Nickcooper12345Version: 1.5.0
TOO MANY ADS

I get it. It's a free game, and you need to put ads. That's fine. What's not fine is when there's a giant ad banner permanently covering 1/3 of the screen, a random ad that pops up every so often that you're forced to watch, a bunch of pop up, in-game notifications persistently urging you to spend money, and on top of that, there's another ad for a bunch of games as soon as you start the app. It's a great game, but the ads are too much and unnecessary. I would buy the premium version, but I read the reviews and even THAT game is urging you to spend money. Come on.
