Amazing game keeps me going for hours download bro
Horrible
This is the worst game ever it is IMPOSSIBLE.
Good game but laggy
I enjoy the daily challenges but the game is often very laggy.
Polytopia
Game is ok , but over the time when you are progressing it begins to bore you and repetetive. Multiplayer mode is better , its more interesting and better as the player makes much more planned moves than bots who are absolutely terrible , you will hate them. They suck in multiplayer, because they just make the worst and ilogical moves which leads to a highly possible chance of a different outcome of the game, i do not suggest playing with bots in multiplayer because of this.the selection of tribes are good. Overall, ithink there are other better games to play
Tired of this game, make it better
Tell the truth. When you say that a new tribe is out, 99 times out of 100, it is fake. Next, we should be able to create custom floors. Also we should have smartness bars so we can directly choose how hard the bots should be. Also in the weekly challenge, the top half, not the top 10% should promote. Also, increase the number of moves in the ranked 30 move game to options of this many moves: 15 20 25 30 40 50 60 75 90 (not a typo, ninety moves) 100 and set them in separate leaderboards. Also, can we please produce unlimited warriors? If you send a review to my review, call me Micah or theyurGOAT.
Flawless game
A must play Can’t wait for more content!
Ref
Bad
Needs just a touch more
I would like for there to be ways to win the game without destroying every tribe or even other ways to fight. Just needs like a touch more things like other buildings or workshops. The game is great and takes way less time than Civ does.
Latest update has broken it
***Since the latest update the app crashes as soon as i attempt to play a daily challenge and marks it off as completed****I downloaded this game after all the topc reviews and just did not get it so I deleted it. After reading many more top reviews I thought that maybe I hadn’t given it enough time and I was right, It’s an absolutely brilliant game. So learn from my mistake, stick with it as it is a little baffling to start with but once you understand the gameplay it is one of the most addictive and playable games on iOS. And it is definitely one of the main reasons, along with the amazing Outlanders, to subscribe to Apple Arcade. Love it, and I am looking forward to updates.
Money rights
Don’t get my wrong, I love this game but now you have to pay REAL money to be able to play as most of the tribes. SSSSSSSooooooo……… (Heart breaks)
Amazing Game
I’ve been doing playing this game for years and I haven’t gotten bored once! Also, this version lets you get all the tribes for free* which is pretty neat. Anyway recommend this game to anyone who likes any type of 4X strategy game or strategy games in general. *Apple Arcade Required
So awesome, but make it better!!
This is such a great game and I will give 5 stars as soon as you add the option to skip watching the bot make moves one at a time. In the big maps this takes sooooo long and kind of kills it for me. I noticed others are asking for this, please add this!!! :)
can u add it to mac bro
I like the game and the other version is available on mac so idk why the apple arcade version isn’t pls add
Обновление
Обновление на версию для Arcade не выходит или очень сильно опаздывают. Сделайте нормальный мультиплеер
Must remove all content restrictions for multiplayer!
I really like the game and would like to play online with my family. In order to play online though (iPad version), you have to turn off all content restriction to connect to the server.
Best game ever
I love this game so much even though I suck at it. It’s just a better Version of civilization. I love the design and the different designs for each tribe super unit.
good game, but it keeps crashing
i gave this one star to catch your eye. whenever i start a new game the game crashes almost instantly. it doesn't matter what tribe i pick, or how many opponents i'm playing against, the game always crashes. which is unfortunate because i love this game.
App crashing bug
Recently started playing again but after this update my app crash before I can even make a move
Als multiplayer top, als PvE flop
Selbst auf Medium ist es unmöglich schwierig. Alle Gegner verbünden sich und greifen nur den menschlichen Spieler an, nicht aber sich gegenseitig. Man hat keine Vhance, da früher oder später die weiteren Gegner im Freeplay auf der anderen Front stehen. macht keinen Spaß.
Neeeds new clan, developers hear me!
Awesome, but gets old quickly, plz add 1-3 new clans.
Awesome, but two ideas
The game is awesome fun great but one idea is that could you make it that you can get more tribes? The buildings are cool, but it would be cool that if you could have a castle sized capital
Disappointed
You finish your turns and that’s it. Game over.
Great game but…
I really love the game but there is something that confuses me. In the preview it shows a couple different types of boats that aren’t in the game. In the preview it also shows “shields” in the tech tree instead of “strategy”. It also shows “whaling” and tiles with whales on them.
Класс, но…
Игра шикарная, но добавьте онлайн в версию для аркейд.
Crashhhhh
This game is pretty fun but, it freezes, glitches and crashes constantly!! Since writing this about 5 minutes ago, I’ve had to close and restart the game 4 times because it crashed.. pathetic
Fun
Great game love the cuteness and creativity of the game and offline! You have to be joking I recommend it to anyone who likes civilization VI
Awesome game I did one star for a response I really think ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I completely recommend this game besides one thing add a chat in multiplayer mode where you can talk to the other players playing in the game
Question
Just a quick question, is The Battle of Polytopia+ compatible with The Battle of Polytopia? Can you play multiplayer between the two?
No MP
We need a MP
Late updates
Super fun game! But the Apple Arcade version is always a month or two behind on updates. Not sure if this is an Apple problem or a Midjiwan problem
I love it
Thank you for this awesome game I love it and thank you for all the updates and other stuff plus who ever that dude who came up with the Viking thing I love it plus main city could be like Valhalla which is well Viking for the giant battle field in the sky plus there could be an upgrade that when one dies they become like zombies with high health but 0 damage but the ability to explode but a limit like 5 only or else I could think of some ways to make it op
Sıkıcı oynanışı kötü ilkokul oyunu gibi

Lots of Fun, Wish It Was Kept Updated
Polytopia is a great game. I just wish that the Apple Arcade version was kept up to date with the other versions :/
Онлайн ?
Есть мультиплеер но нету онлайн грустно надеюсь добавите !!
High scores
Wish the high score list wasn’t 100% populated by bots. Edit: the creators responded saying that these are actual players but anyone can look at that top high score player tags and they’re all 100% obviously bot names: adjective+noun+3 digits.
Incredible Game
I got addicted to this game for a while, it’s so good. I leaped with joy when I realized that it was on Apple Arcade. It’s a very simple version of those other turn-based games, and I would consider the game to be a great introduction to turn-based strategy, as the big games are certainly frustrating at first. Incredible as this game is, there is a lopsided tribe. At first, the worst tribe was Yadakk until they got a +2 star buff. The new worst tribe is also the most expensive tribe, the Luxidoor. They start with nothing and the capital has zero of the benefits that every city has a right to. My solution to this disastrous effect is quite simple–when the game begins, allow the player to choose all the upgrade bonuses that the city would normally get if upgraded on its own. This would boost this worst tribe to one of the best, living up to its title as the most expensive tribe. Please, I beg, insert this solution. Remove all their starting stars if you have to, but they need this. I also wish that the avatar creator wasn’t randomized, I had to do an incredible number of spins before I got the character I had in mind. Other than that, it’s a fantastic game, bravo.
Где мультиплеер ?
Основной смысл оригинальной игры в мультиплеере. Зачем выпускать обрезанную версию в Arcade ?
Teaching me what they don’t at school
I’m 9 and I just like it 🤗
Hard to find human opponents
This is a good game, but the structure for connecting with human opponents makes it very difficult to play against a person. When someone makes a game and never starts, they come up first in the choices. And declining the game doesn’t make it stop showing up. So your best bet is to accept a game with a player who hasn’t chosen a tribe, if they’re online at all. And then if you get another game going, it’s hard to exit the maybe games you’ve already joined.
Great game, two ideas…
I love the game! I like how there’s a city development side of things and a battlefield strategy side too! I just had two ideas that I wanted to suggest. (1) It would be cool if you had the option to set lasting alliances between tribes before starting the game. For example: you could have a dozen tribes go to war 6v6 as two great factions! On the other hand, if you’re feeling gutsy, you could go rouge and have the entire square unite against you! Then afterwards you could finish the game when one alliance emerges victorious! (2) Level maker mode would be awesome! You start with a square made completely of deep sea tiles, and then you could add land, shallow waters, and more! These were just two thoughts that I wanted you guys to hear. Thank you for your consideration, and keep up the good work! :)
Need update
Good game, needs to update units and have progression. Been playing for months and needs to update tech tree if possible

Good, but could be improved to the level of the standard version.
Love Polytopia, but I wish I could online multiplayer like the original. If added, I would like to be able to cross play with my friends on the standard version
