What Makes The Tribez: Build a Village Stand Out
The Tribez is an adventure like no other – a game about a charming tribe and its peaceful life in a cozy farming village! Travel to a settlement on a lost island and start improving it. Unlike many other farm games, The Tribez offers a truly unique and immersive experience. Besides growing crops, tending to your very own garden, and gathering the harvest when it's ripe, you'll get to engage in tons of exciting activities that other village games simply don't have. Exploring a lost island to find the last surviving dinosaurs in a paradise bay? Traveling to a distant valley in search of cute pets? Unlocking portals to other dimensions? You name it! This is not your usual routine: plant a crop, harvest it, stack up on hay for the horses, repeat. The Tribez is a vibrant adventure full of amazing stories, charming characters, and heartwarming moments. Even the names of the places you’ll visit speak for themselves: Cozy Valley, Fisherman’s Cove, Ancestors’ Atoll, Mystery Shore. They really make you want to jump straight in and start exploring one of the most unusual farm games out there!
There are also countless adventures awaiting you: each time you unravel a valley in the mist, it gives you a place for growing crops, every time you venture through a cave, you can find a place to mine and harvest resources. There’s no limit to what the tribe can achieve under your command. Don't take anyone's word for it – just launch this sunny island game and see for yourself!

WHAT OTHER PLAYERS THINK:
• “I have been playing about 9 months and am totally addicted I think the thing that keeps me going in the goals. There is always something to work towards”.
• “I like that after all this time, there is always a major goal to work towards and something new to discover. I look forward to playing every day (er…playing any time I'm awake and my ipad is accessible), and since health limitations have recently robbed me of many activities, this has given me something else I can enjoy”.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is so diverse and fun. Give it a try. Changing and seasonal Side games included.
Just love this game love all the challenges and thrill. It gives keep it up. Plenty plenty more challenges.
We LOVE this game. Our only complaint is all the island should be expanding. At least every couple of years. On all of the island we have maxed houses and factory bldgs. It would be nice if the land mass on one or two of them expanded and other factory bldgs were added.
Download this and be prepared for 3-4 minute long ads. Yep, thats right. This used to be a fun game, but the new owners just seem to want to squeeze us dry.
Ive played this game on and off for several years, deleting and re-downloading the app. And, we dont mind having to restart our progress each time. We love that there are many areas in the game to progress to and how each slightly differ. If the character stories dont interest you, at least the different adventures are interesting to play out. While the goals are eventually mandatory to complete in order to progress, there arent constant in-your-face reminders that they must be done. This provides a more relaxing game-play experience. The only gripe we have is that several time-limited adventures will occur simultaneously which they equally use up a lot of energy that we can only focus solely on one if we want to make any progress before the few days are up. We feel we miss out on the other adventures/storylines.
This game has much potential but also many flaws. The whole quest thing and not allowing you to access things like a plot to garden is annoying. All we want is to buy land and decorate. The storyline is not of interest to us, but thats personal. As we said, the biggest issue in the game is that it is controlling. You cant do this; you cant do that. It really gets boring after a while for that issue alone. More wiggle room would make it more enjoyable.
Ive been playing this game for more than 10 yrs, and we love it! Sure, there are a few glitches here and there, but they mostly get fixed reasonably quickly. We can spend 20 min on it, then take a break for a few hours and come back and collect our $. Its great for just getting away from our real worries. Love it.
It tells to download for new island content but keeps crashing saying need internet, our internet is perfectly fine.
We wish we could get our other Tribez game back. It was on our android tablet. We couldnt figure out how to transfer it to our iPad. We had to start a new game when we got this iPad. Is there any way to get it back? We can see our old game when we visit our friends worlds.
We played this for a very long time a couple years ago….noticed this time the quest list is so long – hard to finish much of anything. Lots of quests for things we don't have & won't for a long time . Seems to have gotten much more cluttered up with items you have to purchase for 'happiness ' so you can advance. Way too many ads and they last way too long. Still can't give it more than 3 stars.
Ive played this game since about 2015. It used to be really fun until they added a whole bunch of mini games that they require you to play but cant beat. Like we said, Ive been playing this game since around 2015 and still cant beat level 4 of the kitty game. Too many quest that are hard to beat and requires purchases.
Thank you, we're enjoying the game.
It was such a good game we used to play it years ago but now its nothing but side quests. All we want to do is build our village we do not want to wait to get energy so we can clear a random island that has nothing to do with our village.
We like this game. We have one Island that is Frozen. Shows minus 70 Villagers. Contacted Customer Service WEEKS ago. No response. Even after the recent update Murlod Island is still frozen. We deleted and reinstalled, but that did nothing. So we will turn off we Cloud, delete and not reinstalling. Not being able to use even one Island will soon affect the whole game. You need resources from all Islands to play.
Yo we luv this game, we been stuck on it for years, our only thing we don't Like is that we can not turn our buildings. That would be so much cooler, they all stay forward, if they can turn right or left so our islands can look so much better, that would be sick. If there would be a way to do so pls consider.
A lot smoother and easier to play.
chi game ny t 8 nm trc v by gi vn vy.
We would like the option to extend some quests ur to make them a regular thing.
We have been playing the game for we while and we loved it until we got tired of watching ads more time than playing. Yes, you dont need to watch them, but if you dont, the progress is sooo slow that it gets very boring. Some ads are more than one minute long and they are all hard to close. Good bye. It is a shame. We would had been willing to pay for the game and be free of this nonsense like with Stardew Valley. Dont play it, it is not worth your time.
Very frustrating with the way the races are done. Individual teams have ridiculously high goals to hit and then are capped at the number of quests. Constantly given low quests and then unable to finish race with a couple of points to go. How is that fair??? Considering just quitting at this point. Also there used to be so much more variety in the special items but its just the same over and over at this point.
The game is fun but the constant ads needed to advance in the game, the constant prodding by the game to make purchases, the waiting for things to complete that are unnecessary, and the constraints on energy, endurance, and crystals forces you to make purchases or wait for a long time to advance in the game. We h ave gotten frustrated several times while playing this game and wish they would relax some of the restraints. Additionally, tech support does not respond to issues reported to the,m.
The graphics, the content, the team aspect in the Dino Races, Customer supporteverything about this game is amazing. We have been playing for a few years now and no matter what, this game is outstanding.
Se necesitan agregar vecinos y no se permite y con vecinos aleatorios no funciona xq hay gente q dejan de jugar. Podran hacer algo al respecto x lo menos.
Love this game the only real complaint we have is that it is too difficult to obtain enough sand to build bridges which hinders our progress.. All the islands should be able to have their own families, and the villagers should be able to fight the jurors. Other than that we love this game and play daily.
The game is great, though we like to move things around on our island to make it more appealing, and us not being able to move the main buildings nor the the storage buildings (we forgot the name) kind of limits how much fun and creativity we can have, So Im wondering if you could make an exception for at least the storage buildings when you do the next update and make them movable. Again, we love the game.
We love this game it keeps us super entertained but its hard to play if youre not always buying stuff. This game pushes purchases like crazy that it feels ridiculous.
Developers, please increase the number of quests available in races or decrease the refresh time.
Been playing this for several years. Since recent update, adds last sometimes as long as 8min, cant get back to game. Terrible now. Maybe time to give it up. Such a shame. Was a great diversion in the past. Update has been bad. Supplies disappear. Please fix. Been playing for years.
For some reason our screen has been frozen for a few days we cant move around.
Absolutely love this game. We have been playing on and off for the last decade and am always amazed. The only reason we delete it is we find ourselves spending too much time on it – its that fun and highly recommend! Best story, most expansive, cant say enough good things about.
After this last review we're having the same problem as others are with not having enough space on the map while playing in the area with flying dragons. There's plenty of space and it's hard to pop the bubbles to get your items. Please fix this. It's our favorite part of the game.
Love the quests and we dont mind the adds, most games have adds.
We just downloaded the latest update for a new adventure but however in the Floria course we keep getting a message saying "no more rooms on the map" to spred new items for merging and we usually combined items make new room but for some reason when we tap the bubbles full of goodies it not releasing everying just small amount at a time even we have so much space collect the left overs items for merging.
When we clicked a new item, it always said the map is fully occupied But it is not true.
So good up we were bored and that helps us survive from depression we recommend it to everyone who bored.
Ive always enjoyed this game throughout the years.
We do understand the need for ads in the game. Been playing this game on and off for years. Our only complaint is the number of times you have to keep clicking on the X button just to get to the end of the ad. It is truly too excessive and frustratingly takes away the point of the game. Please fix this major glitch. Other than that its really a great game. Thanks.
Tribez is such a fun cozy game! We love the graphics and the little tribe members. Theres a lot of fun quests and side challenges too. Ive really enjoyed building our village so far and am excited to keep growing it.
Ive been playing it for years and totally enjoyed it! There have been a couple of issues that have been fixed very fast.
Its a fun little game however the ads are repetitive and it sometimes seems like a pay to win game but yet it is fun.
We love this game. Ive been playing It for years.
Trying to get into the game. The only thing happening is purchase offers. Cant close the to start the game. Ive tried deleting and reinstalling, but it still keeps happening. Sorry for putting this issue in the review section. We cant get to the in game section.
Ask us when you have cleaned up the mess you have made with this latest change. In the last ten minutes, we have been bounced completely out of the game. With the addition of fishermans cove the ancestor atoll has been completely locked up. There were numerous other problems even before the latest change (just read other reviews). Even with all of the annoying problems, we still think it is the best game out there. This is third time we have downloaded Tribez. First time, ran out of challenges and could only amass wealth. After reaching eight BILLION coins, we were bored out of our mind and deleted the game. After some time, we decided to try it again only to find we were being bombarded with constant messages to buy things. Deleted game again. Now we are back for a third shot at it but will be deleting it again. Every action we complete, the Facebook login pops up. We have told the creators of Tribez we don't do Facebook so why ruin our fun by shoving the login in our face constantly!! Sorry, Tribez but three strikes and you are out!!! Here we are – back again. It's been a long time but there is just no better game out there. Starting from scratch. We like the changes, definitely improves the game. Lots of pros, only con is if we have added something before it is quest, we don't get credit. Added coffee trees early and now we can't build a hotel.
We made in app purchase of 110 gems for $. 99 and they gave to us the gems and then suddenly the game froze and when we were able to bring the game back up they took back our gems we did contact support and they did fix and give us back our gems.
Love this game and how easy it is to play.
After years of playing this game and then getting frustrated enough to put it away, only to pick it back up months later, we finally deleted it. Why did it take so long? We love the graphics and satisfaction of decorating and building with the fun decor. It was fun but holy cow the quests are out of this world ridiculous. Out of 9 islands we had come to a dead end on almost all of them with no idea at all what was needed to move on. Others were so strung out it would take literal years to open one territory out of 10 more on top of that to get to a building needed to for another quest. Unless you spend money. Not to mention how time consuming it became just to do casual upkeep. We learned our lesson we hope and will stay clear of anything this team puts out. Thanks.
The game is fine, and fun, but we have a couple of complaints. We will summarize the game needs a global chat, a a way to talk to your friends or get better friends it needs a better clan quest system, it also needs to fix the quest system you shouldnt get quest that you cant complete or at way to delete or postpone them. Details: global chat is needed so that you can find good clans. Friends: You can have friends, but you cant talk to those friends and you cant find new friends. You need friends to complete task but you cant pick or find active ones. Clan quest: redundant and boring. The same quest every single time. Some variation would be nice. Quest: you shouldnt open a quest until you can actually complete it. Also a quest line pointer would be good. Like what quest do we need to unlock this item. We could write a lot more but we will stop now. If you want to hire us we have some great ideas for improving your game.
