Virtual Villagers 3 Reviews
This is such a good game. Its very unique and is probably our favorite of all the vv games.
Nice game, but we accidentally bought this version instead of the for iPad version and would like a refund. Please.
This is by far our favorite of the virtual villagers games. Although its not optimized for iPhone X and up phones. Disappointing but still a great game.
We’ve always loved these games, we grew up playing them, so when we found them on the App Store we were more than thrilled! The development of the series has been very enjoyable. After completing the first two we were excited to start the 3rd. However after we had finally gotten our village stable, techs unlocked, population growing, etc. We closed the app and when we came back our village was gone and it had started over?? Im now back at 8 villagers with no tech nor collectibles. This has happened a few times now and its making it hard wanting to continue playing.
We want our money back! Overall the game is enjoyable and we like it just fine… But during the statue repair, it got stuck at the top of the hill and we cant get our chief or any of our master builders to continue. We looked it up and apparently lots of people have had this issue… Yet it wasnt fixed. Not cool! We had almost finished all the puzzles. We dont want to start over just to get this far and it get stuck again.
Dont buy the 99 cent. It is very bad and cheap to look at just pay the 1.99.
This game is super slow and its hard to keep food.. Need to upgrade ASAP.
Can someone please tell us what the lift does – Thanks :D.
Has anyone else seen in this game where ALL the kids gather by the fire and start to hop up and down all of them? Then the funniest thing we’ve seen ONE TAKES OFF FOLLOWED BY ALL OTHERS AND RUN CIRCLES ALL OVER THE SCREEN. Darn funny to watch over 25 of the monsters running in line. He he.
We got the pink key!! :D You have to make a potion out of rose, cactus, and lotus. The potion will make the person who drinks it feel "light and springy" then put them under the pink key by the rose plant and they will jump up and retrieve the key. :) we still can’t figure out the puzzle with the storm cloud and lightning bolt. Someone help?
We love this game but we really need help. We have the diamond key in the firepit and we’ve cooled it off a million times but it never works!!!! We’ve tried placing them on at the same time, but it never works. HELP!!!!
Ok, your chief does not work at all, he directs the work. He also doesn’t pick up collectables, children only can. It is NOT a glitch. The robe is in the amphitheater, the big green thing in the left, upper corner. In the front of it, there is an orange and yellow thing hanging there. Drag one of your villagers one to it. If the robe fits, this is your new chief. It works best with adult males. ( hint ) If you are running low on food, drag your chief to the food hut and they make magic food every 24 hours. Hope we helped.
But get free first to see if u like it.
Need to be able to create potions to where u can have a villager drink it and they gain some skill of one of the five.
Thank you to the people that helped us finish.
We need tech points. How do you get tech points fast???
This game is great! We love all the puzzels and just the game itself. We’ve noticed a lot of people have said their people r dead from starvation :/ it’s easy. Beehive: there r these stick-like things right next to the beehive on the ground, put a villager on them and he/she will go to the fire to light them, & then he/she will go to the beehive. U now have honey :) Orchard: U need to have level 2 restoration and at least 3 adept builders. Place the builders on the machine in the blackish dirt right next to the food bin. They will then fix the machine, wait till it rains and put a builder to stand on the lift, wait for the lift to go all the way up and a piece of fruit will drop. Drop a villager on the piece of fruit & he/she will go and plant it. Do this 3 times for the Orchard. Fish: you need to either have lvl 2 magic/nature do the potion to get rid of the sharks (pitcher plant/berries & 2 black orchid) (I think) then the villager will get rid if the sharks and u can start to fish. Hope this helps!!!!!
We love the game but after we get all the honey from the bee hive idk what else to do and we know you plant trees but it’s kinda hard.
To fix the lift you need THREE people that are at least adept builders. Put all 3 on it and they fix it. Then when it starts raining hurry up and put an adult on the lift platform. Then the bucket fills with water and you go up and knock a seed down. As soon as you see it on the ground go plant it. :)
We noticed that the chief cannot heal himself by eating because putting him on the food hut usually entails creating food. How do we heal our chief???
We thought it was 120 minutes.. Was it 240 minutes from before or did it change?
You can use children 2 get herbs.
Guys women over 50 have no children we suggest 20/45 and all our villagers are old we need to have that hitch where they dont age !!!!!!!
To get a chief do u see that weird golden thing? Drag a man ( not a woman ) Keep doing it until it says the robe fits. Then BAM, and u have a chief!!!!!! :D.
This is by far our favorite of the series. We played it extensively a few years ago, and our sister and we actually finished most of the puzzles before we accidentally deleted the game. Now, if one troublemaking kid is bothering you, drag them to the top right corner of the screen in the ocean. We’ve noticed that they’ll be trapped there and can’t move. We have also found similar spots in some other VV/VF games, like on top of one of the toxic waste barrels in VF Our Dream House. But we love this installment and we personally think it plays the best.
I. LOVE. THIS. GAME. We play this game all the time, but how do you get the sharks to go away? If anyone could tell us, we would be so grateful to them. Thanks again!
You need to, we mean need to make a more modern one. Like virtual city or something.
We love this game and we highly recommend it to anyone who loves to play games but is usually very busy. This game progresses even when you aren’t playing it, which is perfect for those who are always very busy. The puzzles are very challenging, but if you get stuck, there is plenty of help online, even very detailed lists of how to accomplish each puzzle. To the person who got stuck trying to push the statue up the hill: you MUST have a chief directing the work at all times. If, for some reason, your chief stops, then the progress stops until you make your chief return. To the person who’s villagers won’t age: this game runs off the clock in your iPhone/iPod Touch, and if there is a problem with your clock, then the game won’t run correctly.
You put two master builders on it (with 2 restoration) and after its fixed put someone on the end when it rains and it drops seeds and food after a few secounds.
We just got this today, but it’s easy to see it’s gonna be good. Very interesting map and new twists.
We really enjoyed this on our iPhone. It was easy to handle and didn’t always take up our time or give us notifications like other games. We use to play Virtual Villagers as a kid and we still love it! We actually completed this game (like all the puzzles) in about 3weeks, playing maybe 20 minutes per day, longer on some days. In our game, 30 people had died when we finished all the puzzles, just estimating a time.
We need just about everything! How do solve all of the puzzles, fix the bath, and get more food!?!? Please help!!
We have found 4 parts of the alchemy lab but where is the stick thing that is the last part? Please Help.
This is by far our favorite of the villagers series. The island is pretty, the villagers are cute and interesting. And we love the challenges and story line :) great job guys!
Thanks. But dose last day of work also own our tribe? If so can you make it an app. Pleezzzz!!!!!
We bought this but deleted this and we want to get it again but we are worried that we have to pay again.
Apple is forcing thousands of game developers to update their apps into a 64-Bit format, in order to comply with IOS 11. This being said, these virtual villager/families games were a big part of our childhood on the PC and we love playing them today on IOS. I’d hate to see their performance impacted in any way because of an update. We know you guys are probably hard at work on Virtual Families 3, and honestly we probably have no idea how hard it is to update existing apps to run with Apple’s system and all, and it’s probably already been brought to your attention, but, just letting you know that these games are adored by so many people, and us included.
We love all the last day of work games exit favorite would be virtual families but we love this game so much!
Not to sound dumb, but we really need help. We keep on trying to get the diamond key, but it won’t work! We’ve set a fire for like 50 times already! And, is there some kind of cheat for getting a lot of Tech Points? Help us! Of you can, please address to Michael Caputo. Thanks!
We love this app!!!! Only a dollar, and it is so fun :) TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!!!!!
We need help! When we got the game people had babies nonstop and now they won’t really do it! But That doesn’t mean we can’t give a five star!: )
We love this game! We just need to know how to get food so if you know how please say we know it’s stupid but we just seriously need some food and we have gotten really far please say.
We’ve been playing the virtual villager games since we were a child, and we love all of them. They have this wonderful ambiance and feel to them that makes them so peaceful and enjoyable. We hope they continue to make them, we know we will keep playing them.
U don’t have to wait 4 babys just let them have sex and when pop. Increases drag away and u have a baby.
1- How do you get someone to put the robe on? 2- how does someone become the leader so you can put up the statue?? Thx to anyone who can help!
First we check these alot for tips and we have 2 gems but the statue gem but we dont have any builders by the time we fixed the last statue and got our leader thing done we cant fix the statue grr if u help ill probably be able to answer one of your questions.
