Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“There were really two main things I didn't like about it. #1 it is very slow. Like 10 turns in a row of doing nothing but clicking end turn, followed by queuing up a new building and then another 10 turns of nothing. I looked, but didn't…”
“Poorly designed, poorly balanced, with terrible timing and flow and the barest, minimalist UI. Disappointing.”
