Community Insight:
It is just as fun as the day we last lost it.
Great game, insanely fun and a good thing to take your mind off things. Def recommend.
Game actually doesnt get boring.
Nothing crazy, but a great idle game to play when u need a time killer or wanna relax watching your resources go up.
Game is like cookie clicker but 5x funnier.
We love this game. We played it a long time ago and just decided to pick it back up. Its such a good way to pass the time. The only thing we hate about this game is that they do full screen ads. We love that they have ads that benefit both parties where we wanna skip a bunch of stuff being built without spending gold and so all we have to do is watch a 30 second but if Im in the middle of trying to play and we get hit with a full screen, and we instantly just close the app and reopen it which is not something we want to do.
Shud have a way to turn off tutorial on uos sorry our keyboard us being weird but yeah we get the gist of the game okayed the webpage version and tutorial windows are annoying o9l.
Played this game back in 2015 when we were in 8th grade and almost a decade later we finally re discover it. Highly recommend playing.
Fun game and very addicting!!we Highly suggest this game to anyone.
This game is incredible! We have been playing for not even 3 hours and we are addicted! The best part? The lack of ads, and that is a really good thing!! There are very few mobile games that don't spam ads at you every single time you click a button. Incredible fun work! We absolutely love it! Nothing less then ten stars will do, but five stars is max so it will have to do.
GREAT civilization management game. We especially love how you dont have to constantly be playing in order to get stuff.
We used to play this back in 2012.
It feels really simple at first but ends up being a lovely little time passer/ management type of game. We played this a while back and decided to come back and we still love how simple this lovely game looks.
This game is very fun, our only qualms is that there should be a sort of builders type of specialists that you can dump population into so that you can increase how quickly buildings can be build. The time is takes to make 10,000 population is also too slow, and the speed should increase the higher your population is as well.
We downloaded this game a long while ago and theres something so endearing ab having a little civilization with some complex mechanics. Keeps us coming back for more.
Fantastic game only issue is they recently put ads in the game. The ads make us not want to play the game.
Not everything is perfect but we are enjoying ourselves on this game.
This game is a fun resource management city build simulator. The more you upgrade the more opportunities you unlock like raiding other players and joining clans! We think this game should add a idle mode where you can still earn resources offline or maybe they be generated at a reduced cost when not in the app. Other than that Id suggest get some friends to download the game, grind a little bit and start up a clan.
This is amazing… We loved this game! We're also doing this for the gold. Seriously its actually not a bad game.
All the tapping that is required to level up and build tower pieces is a bit frustrating. Also we dont understand how the wolf raids work we dont see any options for wolves but we enjoy gathering resources and raiding other players.
One of the best games in our childhood till now.
Pretty nice idle game except its not that idle since most of the stuff requires the app to be open to run.
This game is fun we used to play it a long time ago its fun because you can. Get people to do things and you have to keep your people alive and and happy.
We want a CivCrafter 2 this game is awesome no other game is like it we're ready for a number 2 come on guys make a civ 2 or revive this game.
We really enjoy the game and even made a small purchase to remove ads. But it needs a better app icon and maybe even a better name.
This game is very fun building a civilization.
Should add something past empire for more skulls and trophys cause empires way too easy got 40K knights Trap$elling (BKS).
Played this game when we were 10, we play this game now, we will play it when Im 50.
Interesting upgrade idle type game.
Great game no stress from losing you army because it only takes seconds to replace.
We really like this game, its very VERY fun.
Only game we reviewed. We love idle games and Ive come back to CivCrafter after playing it a while ago. Its great to see a game with this strong heritage keep going strong.
Best game we been playing for 3 years we just restart a lot on multiple devices lol.
We think you should add something where you can give stuff to other people.
Its so addicting and we just cant stop playing.
Well made game. Gets slow near the late game, however, it is understandable as Ive had our fun and we cant expect everything for free.
We believe that Civcrafter has more potential. We began the game loving it but found after just a couple weeks the game got pretty repetitive. Our guild is not even close to the top of the leaderboard and tower-building doesn't even show who built the towers in the clan. We feel like the clan system could be expanded and create competitive drive at all levels of the game. First, you could expand on the tower concept. Consider weekly competitions that go like this: Each guild has to collectively build towers with all three or even all seven resources. There will be a chart that shows how many resources each player pumps into their individual towers. Make the first tier the equivalent of 10 towers a person of taps. Make the second 20 the third 40 the fourth 80 etc. And to up the difficulty you could make the 5th tier and higher 1000 resources per tap. Each tier could give a small permanent boost in resource production AND the top guilds get a little gold. That would foster clan competition at every level and create mid-level players who are willing to put a little time and effort into this game to come together to get some rewards and play on a more regular basis. Another clan suggestion is to create a "Boss" system leaderboard. Essentially you create a "clan boss" tab on the fight screen. The boss has a certain (large) amount of troops and the clan members throw troops at it to lower it. Once they beat the boss by defeating all of its troops, the clan wins and they face a new boss with even more troops. The reward? The clan symbol starts at bronze and goes up to silver and then gold every 5 bosses a clan defeats, making them look cooler. After gold you can go back to bronze and add a little star– not hard to make new symbols at all. Even though that sounds lame in writing, people will go crazy for making their clan symbol look legit. These are just two suggestions off the top of our head. You have a good base but by expanding the things you can offer to your patrons you can create a more compelling game for a larger audience and, in the process, make more money in the long run. If you keep developing the game and adding more and more depth (prestiging was a step in the right direction), your players will respect and in turn share the game. We look forward to new developments, regardless of whether our ideas are considered. Thanks, Alec Baldwin (that's our IGN).
Best game ever by far better than any other clicker we've seen and it has a lot of potential too it's a must get.
We like it but it needs work! We have 1000 farmers and we made 300 people Then it said we were making -20 food per second 1000 farmers feed 300 people in real life. Soldiers are better than archers from our experience so why do you unlock soldiers before archers but thanks. We know this would take a long time but eventually can we walk around are world like minecraft not the same quality but so we can see are people are houses and so. It could be like a button that changes from tapper to world this is our brothers devise if this happened we would download on ours and rate 1 billion stars (if we could) please please please! When we go to battle let us do something other then blow the horn like let us control back, forward, attack, defend Please Let's go civcrafter let's be better than the top games including minecraft.
It's a fun online type of clicker we give it a 4 because it is a fun game. Yeah its decent.
We first played this game probably close to 3-4 years ago and rediscovered it recently. Certainly a good time waster, but what places it a cut above is the music. Were it an RTS itd probably get 5 stars from us, but its fun nonetheless.
We think this game is good but we feel the amount of waiting we have to do is a little bit much. For example, in any other game, whenever you get 1000+ of something, it instantly gives it, but with this game, whenever you want 1000 more people you have to wait ten minutes or purchase it with four coins. We find this a little bit tedious whenever we want to add more recruits to our army and we have the metal and everything but we cant because we dont have enough unemployed civilians. Same with houses and other buildings, it takes like 10 minutes just to get 1000 of that building. We overall think this is a good game its just annoying wanting to mass produce something and having to wait.
Great game to play for a while. We think some upgrades such as caves should not be as long as they are, but other than that the game is pretty well made.
We really enjoy playing this game but there some flaws to it. First the ads. We dont mind the ads to much but when we try to do something it gives us an ad. And also the gold annoys us generally. Every time we try to buy something in a bigger amount then one we have to use gold. Also earning gold is annoying too. When you buy the upgrade that gives you 10+ per click instead of 1+ per click we think you should get 10x the exp from clicking. Or you could buy it which we think only trash players should do but if it should be fine for pay to play then dont make it expensive $2 for 200 gold which would be gone in the time span of 1-2 hours because you make it to long for it to finish.
Its the only idle game that we like.
Im 30 mins in and upgrades are taking over 1h30 mins to complete, and can instantly complete for gold. If you dont want us to play the game, we wont. Also rate to get gold really? Do you think we will rate your game good for a reward? Im not that dumb or shallow, we will rate your game based on how good it is. Its a shame you put so much effort into the game but none into how you monetize it. We know and completely understand that this game needs a way to pay for itself, but please make it so we can pay for a premium version without the BS, or allow us to watch ads in return. Or introduce skins for people who care about that kind of thing. But like we said if you punish us for playing the game with artificial wait timers, then we just wont play.
It's a fun little clicker game, but we hate that they play an ad randomly when you click between screens. We don't mind games that give you an incentive to watch ads, maybe give you a little in-game currency, but random ads that pop out of nowhere really annoy us.
Certain clicker/idle games do it right where you can view an ad for extra bonuses AT YOUR WILL. Here, the game throws a metric ton of ads at you. Go to a different menu to build another house? Heres an ad. Go to make some villagers? Another ad. Too many ads ruins the fun (the game is good incremental town builder). We got probably around 6 ads within 15 minutes. Came back to the game after several years to enjoy it again, but we just cant with these forced ads.
An mediocre game at best, way too much waiting and ads. Just a trap to get people to buy the in game currency. We played for about 4 hours and all we could say about the experience is that we tapped a little bit. Waited. Tap some more. Waited even longer. Not worth your time. We would rather watch paint dry than play this game more. Maybe work on making the game fun first before making people wait.
CivClicker was our first idle game and when we saw what this was we were kind of excited to give it a shot again, CivCrafter has ruined the original. Between the need for coins to speed things up and the random pop up ads, Im out, and we cant say we hope the developers find success with this. Try a different business model.
