Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The theme is great, but the execution is clumsy. Gathering food becomes kind of trivial pretty fast, the AI is garbage, the world is small, and the actual gameplay elements you have are very limited. There's a skeleton of something…”
“Sadly not as good as I hoped it to be, but not worse either, definitely to high a price for the content, wait for 10 Euros as of now, maybe the game gets expanded meaningfull.”
