Sacrifices – Strategy Game Review
Sacrifices is a Strategy game from Spooky Games, first launched in 18th October 2017.
It’s rated 17+ and currently has 66+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Sacrifices Stand Out
Rule and guide a mesoamerican village through the vicissitudes of everyday life in the heart of a ruthless jungle.
Manage a cute rural village, be the heartless divinity you always intended to be and suffer our debatable humor in this god-game-meets-town-sim.
Decide who is worthy of your tremendous powers, earn the faith of your followers, and gift them with divine knowledge to rebuild the great city that is now in ruins.
Welcome to a world where you live only through the faith of your followers! Keep them in line, but be careful, as they could lose faith and you may very well be just another forgotten god…
FEATURES
● Manage your village and followers needs (food, medicinal herbs, wood, stone…)
● Use your godly powers to answer prayers from your followers and defend them against rival tribes
● Craft more than 150 different weapons and outfits
● Send expeditions through the wild jungle and discover its many treasures
● And of course, Sacrifice some of your most fervent followers to unlock more knowledge and therefore restore and expand your village

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Game used to be really good we use to play it all the times but left and came back until after awhile of updates the game started freezing, breaking and worse of all not even saving your progress or achievements. Do not spend money on this game unless you want to find out the things you bought arent there anyone. Im not trying to spread misinformation or anything like that Im just speaking the truth Overall its a good game just lots of bugs that needs to be fixed ASAP.
First of all we want to say that this is such an amazing game considering that there arent many mesoamerican mobile games out there, anyways we think an update to the game should be where the player has the ability to start an army with ranks such as Jaguar, Eagle, etc.
We like the concept of having people be sacrificed, along with it being important in your backstory, we do want to suggest a feature however. It being, in the building menu you could click a button, to have a large picture of the map that you have, and then you could change where huts are, the temple and so forth.
The game is an amazing time consumer and overall challenging though we do wish the game was more compatible with the new IPhones the game was made for smaller screens but to have it be more popular among people with the new IPhones the the screen size should be increased otherwise it just feels too out of place.
Just wanted to say that the thieves spawn outside the village and cant be dealt with so we can do any scruffiest and we havent made anything to make the weapons so we are stuck.
The game could be great, if it wasnt abandon, if there was a quest mode or an explorer mode where you can actually control villagers in some combat or gather resources this would be fire.
But everytime we play on our iPhone 12 after roughly 15 mins ? Of playing the game it closes off and kicked us out the game having to restart what we were doing prior of kicking us out. Please fix this its quite frustrating when Im building or sacrificing and then boom ! Game kicks us out and literally erases what we had just built prior of the game shutting down on us. Once fixed Ill give a 5 star.
Ive known about this game for a while and seeing how its getting updates we wonder why no more content or mechanics are being implemented we have it a three stars for leaving so much unfinished potential.
We really enjoyed doing our first village really slow and then doing random other stuff in others one thing is the hearts they need to make sacrifices give more.
Every time we start to play the game it freezes and turns to a black screen but what we got to play we love it please please fix this.
We cant seem to use idols or do any godly powers for our people… Our first sacrifice we only got 4 hearts, which we can do nothing with because we atleast need 6 so we waited 8hrs to kill another on of our people.(during these 8hrs we wasnt able to do anything for our people) we just dont feel like anything works. Atleast not on our phone, even tho its an iphone 12. Oh well, never needed this game anyway.
The's game is inspired by the Astaic religious Witch is interesting.
Love the game let us get that said but we get kick or the game just freezes to fully enjoy the game but if that gets fixs be really cool game just needs lil more love, free add on n more stuff to do maybe add a romance will a different god like go to war to show your power or make god join u or love u,make one of your followers have your kid then have your kid ruler or something like that make that one of the options besides kill anyways love the game just needs more work.
We recently got this game and it was fun at first but it kept crashing but not only that Im not able to sacrifice anyone so we cannot progress through. Please fix this issue.
Cool concept and interesting style. This app looks amazing but so far we have only been able to name our god and tap a few villagers. Like clock work the game freezes 10 to 20 seconds in before crashing completely. One time it did unfreeze after 15 seconds but immediately froze a few seconds later. Judging by the many other app reviews reporting crashes and glitches, this issue has been around for awhile. Ill keep trying and hopefully get to play eventually.
Very good concept, but the only thing is the bugs. Our screen will freeze and Ill have to re-open the app but other than that we love it. (You guys should add animals :3).
This game is amazing, but it crashes almost every time we click on anything. We have an iphone x, and we dont know if its just our phone. 5/5 because you this is a new one and you guys seem to be regularly updating, and we love the concept.
We have to exit and come back often, and sometimes lose progress, because it freezes A LOT.
So the game is great but it just freezes sometimes and we try to close it completely and go back in but it stays on the same screen. We end up having to turn our phone on and off just to play it sometimes. The bugs are out of control and the glitches are repetitive. We love the game idea though and playing it is fun when there are no glitches. If you guys fix this up then maybe Ill give a 5 star rating but the effort needs to be put in. Thanks.
First, we would like to say that we really like the concept and idea of Sacrifices. But, the reason we gave it a four star review is because it has had several glitches lately like freezing, or our screen turning black and needing to refresh the app. Our second problem is that when we had a cannibal attack on our village we tapped on the cannibal icon on the top left hand corner on the screen and one cannibal is now stuck in our village and he wont go away. We would really appreciate if you fixed this because we really like this game as its probably one of our favorites. We also hope that you guys are still adding to this game as we would really like to see new changes coming. Our village is up and running pretty well as we have made some purchases to reach our villages growth. We have maxed out all the upgrades and we can say that our village doesnt really need us anymore. We also have some ideas for some future updates, 1: Being able to watch the journey of your followers in the wild as they collect resources for your village. 2: Being able to raid cannibal or thieve village for recourses soon completion. 3: Guard towers where you could put a follower that can shoot a bow or place traps. 4: Animals that might find their way into your village and you have to defend them off. PS, we would really appreciate if you guys could keep adding to the game as this is one that we really play a lot and would like to see new changes. Thank You.
Its a neat game. We like it. But twice already the game has crashed, resulting in us losing the last few things Ive done to our village. That is a little annoying.
We like this game a lot but think that there is still room for improvement. Good job.
We just lost our third village as the game files dont load and give an error. The concept and art is neat though a bit vague but considering that we lost 3-5 days of invested work (The games pace is SLOWWWWW which is kinda ok because you are raising a tribe from nothing so you get emotionally invested) we dont see any reason why we should continue playing since it will certainly happen again.
