The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Dog feces. Graphics are passable. UI is garbage. Village upgrades are completely uninteresting, flat and a waste of time. Like a civ from the 90s. AI is rabid and can pillage and trespass without declaring war. Diplomacy is uninteresting…”
