Idle Civilization

Dead game, developper left year ago...

The game has promise but has been abandoned. The problems that I have may not be the ones that prevent the game from being fun for other people but for me are enough to give a thumbs down from me. First problem is no manual, and no way to correct a mistake. The game is a simple clicker type game but after spending many hours playing you can click wrong once and loose hours of work. While this is not the main issue, the problem is you do not know you are making a mistake till you do it, and no way to know ahead till you make it. The other issue is because it scales production you end up with bugs where your production should cost one level but you end up paying another. To fix it you have to exit the game and restart the game to clear the memory and reset the formula. This happens each time, so you only get the "fix" one time as soon as you change screens it reverts to the broken formula. End result the more I played the more the bugs/issues drained the fun from the game. Its fun for a few hours, just long enough to not be able to refund, But not fun long enough to pay for, as there are plenty of free games of this type that you can play. I was hoping since it was not free play it would not have the free play issues.

I wouldn’t mind that much that this game is abandoned or incomplete (even though it’s a pity, because there was potential) but compared to the fact that one of the most important core mechanics and in-game upgrading system that is based around the whole idea - it’s even in the freaking title: idle - does not work, it’s unacceptable and makes the game unplayable, at least in the way that it was actually intended and supposed to.

Don't buy this. It's abandoned and should be taken down and people refunded.

Very first time I reloaded after a save, loads of my villagers were missing so my production was way down from where it should have been. Game is dead, not under active development for many years. 8 hours played. Just not willing to put any more time into the game to find that the save does not leave off from when I exited the game and it will never be fixed. Reluctant to leave bad reviews. So I seldom do. If I don't have anything good to say I just tend to shut up, but in this case just trying to warn people away from a buggy/broken game. Basics of game play, you want to restart from exactly where you left off, right? Well, you can't!

Was a good game. Had potential. Sadly was abandoned long ago now. Better not buy it for now.

Game is unfinished and it looks like the developer abbandoned it.

ABANDONED!!!!!, no updates since 2016. Some things don't work right and parts of the game may not work at all. Different people experience different issues. Some things that should don't work when you're offline, making the game even worse to play as you have to constantly baby sit it. Fun when you first play it. New game feel. 13 hours later I was bored as hell. It's way too grindy. It's extremely repetitive. And it's broken. Eventually, you conquer everything and you get to start from scratch again with a few points for the next reset, and so forth. Over and over and over. It's the exact same game every time with just a few more resources each time. Your goal: to build wonders. Therefore you must conquer all settlements (set amount each time) and the 3 ruins. Each ruin gives you 1 fragment. 1st wonder 4 fragments, pick the wrong one, you're screwed. Next wonder 16 fragments and so forth. I picked the wrong one. Every reset your hero starts at level 1, I never got my hero past level 3 after 7 resets. and you can only send him out every 10 minutes. Level 1, expect your hero to mostly fail. Exploration reset doesn't work when you're offline, making the game even more tedious. Also your Keep troops don't level when you're offline. I got 2 of them once to level 1 from the 13 hours I played the game. They also reset their levels when you reset, even if you retain them. Finally you learn to only build Templars & Markmans and only worship the god of war (of the 6 gods) if you want to get anywhere. At least there are no micro-transactions to get in the way. Overall the game is uninspiring (frankly, utterly boring).

Dead game, DO NOT BUY

Dev took the cash earned in 2016 and left the building. Fairly lackluster idle-game, absolutely not worth the price.
