Its the best kind of game! Building a village or restoring a village together while doing all you can to survive!

Awesome game!

I recommend this game!

Short main game but good mini-games - great resource game for a beginner.

My favourite games from ERS is always their non hidden object game and this is fun especially for me who loves strategy games but am useless at timed modes and this doesn't have any, which as a beginner I love.

I rated it 3/5 for hardness as a beginner, so it's not hard and even I found quite easy. If it didn't have the mini-games I'd have given it a more solid 3 stars - good but not stellar. ...Show more

My favourite games from ERS is always their non hidden object game and this is fun especially for me who loves strategy games but am useless at timed modes and this doesn't have any, which as a beginner I love.

I rated it 3/5 for hardness as a beginner, so it's not hard and even I found quite easy. If it didn't have the mini-games I'd have given it a more solid 3 stars - good but not stellar. This is a resource strategy game with a tutorial, you can see all the playable area in the demo although the left hand side is locked at the beginning.

You unlock mini-games as you progress which will earn you resources or you can just come back and replay at any time. There is a progression bar for each mini game and it shows you how many variants there are - there are a lot.

match 3

- with character moving along the board like hidden wonders of the depth. I don't usually like match 3 but ERS has made me love them because of how they are done.

timed pipe puzzle (variant)

- I love pipe puzzle and there are loads of different configurations. I usually don't like timed elements but this made it more interesting and harder as you went along.

match pairs

Like hidden wonders of the world if you've played that. Some are on top of others to make it harder.

There is a slider which is the same design.

There are two set mini-games (it doesn't change and once you've done it, it's over) - a simple jigsaw and a spot the difference.

If you don't like them you can skip them and you don't need to play them. If you don't like mini-games then there are better and longer strategy resource type games out there but if you do and don't mind an easy short main strategy game then it is fun and worthwhile, especially for a DD.

I wish there were more things to do and places to uncover in the main game and would have liked it to be longer but they won me over with the mini-games which I wasn't expecting. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a cute game with nice graphics, but it's a shame there's so little of it. The mini-games that become available here and there actually take longer to complete than the game itself! If there's a successor, it should really have at least twice as much basic game play. Compared to games like Virtual Villagers or Roads of Rome, it's all over in a flash...

I recommend this game!

I wish they would put out a second part soon...
I also hope the next game if there is one will be much bigger and allow a player to walk away and it keep working on its own, kind of like the villager games or My Tribe...
It is a fun and it holds my attention which is what I look for in these kind of games.
Keep up the great work...

I recommend this game!

I loved this game. I generally like time management games but my Dr. wanted me to play some 'low stress' games for awhile. This was perfect and it's a game my grandchildren can play and really enjoy. It's a perfect beginners game except for being a little too short. I hope you have a follow up game that's longer but at about the same level of expertise so that the children will still be able to ...Show more

I loved this game. I generally like time management games but my Dr. wanted me to play some 'low stress' games for awhile. This was perfect and it's a game my grandchildren can play and really enjoy. It's a perfect beginners game except for being a little too short. I hope you have a follow up game that's longer but at about the same level of expertise so that the children will still be able to play it without too much difficulty. We all loved being able to customize our chief and lay out our village. I enjoy the mini games as well. It's a little break away from the primary game and they let you earn materials and experience to improve your villagers. Thanks for a game well done! Show less

I recommend this game!

NO WAY THIS GAME GOT A 100% reveiws recommending!

Pros:The only thing good about this game is the grahics.

OK:Game was a little to easy for me.

Cons:Terrible storyline the people should of been dead after a valcano.
The sound was awful.
Demo lasted after 30 mintues before I quit.
The match-3 was horrible come-on this is a stragey game.

There are more better games than this.

I don't recommend this game.

I mean really why would anyone like this game?
Most of the game is like watching paint dry
I am unsure why anyone would like it
It takes forever to build anything
and all you do is wait and wait some more
Navigating around the island is very clunky
I wont replay this game
Better Games are
The Three Musketeers: Queen Anne's Diamonds
and
The Three Musketeers: Milady's Vengeance
