Virtual Villagers: Origins

I really love this game. I played it on my PC all the time. It was my "must have" game. The only problem I'm noticing is with my food. I will have a lot of food, maybe around 200 and I'll leave my phone sit and it'll turn black, or I'll open my messages to send a message, and when I get back to the game, I'll have anywhere from 50-0 food left. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I do go from 100 food to none in about 20 seconds and I'm not exaggerating. I never see my villagers eat at will, and this problem has caused, I believe, four almost five villagers to die. I don't have any 'of age' women to reproduce so if this is a bug, I really need this fixed to help my village strive! This is the only reason I'm giving it four stars because this has happened for a few days. For the first three days I've had this app on my phone, this hasn't happened and it never happened on my PC so, please fix if it is a bug! I'm not entirely sure but I'm just making sure! Thanks!

I read a lot of these reviews and they claim “bugs” that occur but really it’s just the players not knowing what to do. Your villagers are starving because you’re not getting enough food and the game is not forgiving enough for you to make mistakes. There is no time bug where going from 2500 food to 600 food because this is an RTS that continues playing and will punish you if you don’t have it set to 0,1/2,1,2 speed (I however don’t recommend setting it to 0 at any time). This game functions perfectly fine for where it originated back in the late 2000s I believe (correct me if I’m wrong). There are your none game breaking bugs such as the dropping of food while being picked up to do something else or the fast breeding by repeatedly dropping your people on each other to skip the “going inside” feature; however, these aren’t game breaking. This is my first full review I’ve ever written on the AppStore and I have to praise this game because it is a time waster like all games, but it encompasses an RTS and the difficulty that came with older generation games. Virtual villager has its faults as it becomes a relic of the past but people have to appreciate the game for what it is and not complain difficult features as “bugs.” P.S I finished the game after 400 hours or so. (I set my times differently so I’m not sure how long it actually took)

I love this game! It is amazing! The graphics look like their from the 90's, but it's all good. I actually kind of like that the graphics look like that. It reminds me of my childhood. The best game I've ever played is definitely Minecraft, but this game is a very close second! I've had this game for about a week, and I already deleted all my apps because all I need is this one! But still,I have some complaints. One of my villagers has already died, and he has still not been buried. Another thing is I can't find any other food source than the berry bush. My villagers are starving and I can't find any other food source and I really need you guys to fix this! Please! I like that it continues going on even when you're not playing. I switched from iPad to computer because my iPad had way too many ads and I couldn't focus on anything. Anyways, if you get this game and figure everything out report back to me. Thank you for making this game!

This is one of those games where it’s fun at first but slowly just gets boring. Once you have a sustainable food stash and you’re just waiting for your tech points to build up because you have to have them in the 20,000’s it stops being fun. I suggest adding more things to do or even simpler, just make events happen more often. I get on and I drag my people to their jobs and stuff, but then I quickly get bored of sitting there and watching them. I wish I had more options or decisions to make. Like when my guy had a dream and I got to choose which way he went and there were benefits/consequences? That was awesome! It’s just that these things barley ever happen. And it costs so many tech points to make something happen. And tech points are what I’m trying to collect so I can get through the game. I don’t know if you read these or still update the game, but if you do, please make events happen more often! Thank you!

i really don’t know why people are complaining. this is an awesome game, has a lot of character, and although graphics aren’t able to be compared to today’s games, i’m sure it was great when it was made. i always have something to do, whether it be reprimanding my people to keep doing their work or having the children pick up stray mushrooms. yes, in the beginning, food runs out quickly. that’s SUPPOSED to happen. you stop struggling once you get to max farming, you usually never have that issue again so long as you have a minimum of three people fishing. it’s a great game, plenty of things to do, and gives you a lot of free will. i wish the population limit was higher, for more of a struggle, but i’m happy with the game and think the developers deserve the praise 🙂.
