One of the best games I’ve ever played and I have A few ideas
Wed Jul 02 2025 fiokkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

You could add a new unit like the musketeer or something more expensive than an archer but more better than that and like make their a technology for small shields so and then there will be a new kind of unit like on one side you’ll have the unshielded versions like the sword and club but on the other side you’ll have like shield a third idea is to make all the tribes free but keep multiplayer like four bucks maybe it’s just an idea maybe like unlocks them permanently like with 10 ounce or 15 or something or app currency that you get from get from winning battles off-line or online and temporary like one game with a tribe be like 100 but permanently unlocking it be like 1000 or something and then hard in the coins are hard to get so yeah I just add some ads so to mock stuff permanently like 15 or something for one of the tribes special tribes in multiplayer though keep those money and I am the best things ever but don’t make it all the ads pop up every time you join or some just make them like if you really want something you can either temporary for like 10 but to permanently make it like 20 or 15 or something I don’t know just my idea but other than we could’ve been at what could be added to this is one of the best games I’ve ever had in the music oh my gosh if anyone hates the music they do not exist that that music is fire I just have to say that.

Your Enjoyment is Inevitable (Edit: New Update)

Who every develops and takes care of this game, round of applause for you. This game is one the best strategy based games I have experienced. With the range of troops, Tribes, difficulties and play-styles this will keep you entertained for weeks on end. Thank you and keep up the good work. I have enjoyed this game so much I actually bought tribes and I usually never spend money on apps. REVIEW ON UPDATE: I’ve played this game for quite a some time, since high school and I come back time to time and it was always fun. I’m looking at other reviews and they seem to hate the new update but I love it. The bridges and ranges on the new ships are nice as a scout ship is a nice touch, them giant ships do a little to much damage, I don’t like that you removed whales… but besides that the new ships are nice, it just seems like the “custom house” and “Elyrion whales” where the biggest reason people where upset, the ships are actually better people will get use to them. The roads being 3 stars now is irritating because you need to build so many, but maybe they were undervalued, removing the whales for elyrion should give them a equal replacement. And that one review had a good idea to have options for the market or custom houses. My review will go to 4 stars until some replacement is made for the whales or if you add a new troop or map size

Great game, some room for improvement

Firstly, let me just say that I can’t wait for the PC version of this. You can take my ten dollars for that. Anyways, back to the mobile version. It’s really good, but as of now, there is a lot that could be added since really the only way to win is to take over everything and that gets repetitive after a while. A diplomacy system of some sort would really help in that arena. Second, I keep getting the Luxidoor in my game even though I haven’t bought them. Another thing I don’t like (I don’t know if this is a bug or not) is that you can upgrade a city, choose to get a giant, and if your city is being invaded it will simply push the invading unit out of the way. It’s very annoying when the AI does this constantly. Also, I think it would provide more variety for those who don’t want to buy tribes if you included Kickoo in the free tribes, because it starts at the base level of the tech tree as well. Now, onto some suggestions. Perhaps a separate branch of the tech tree for diplomacy would definitely provide more depth. Another thing to add could be ‘dissent’ in recently taken over cities. It would impair the production and max troops of that city over time, and eventually lead to rebellion. This would make it harder to win by simply killing everything, because it would make it necessary to secure captured cities before moving on to the next. Finally, it would be nice to have an upgraded version of the Archer, maybe a Crossbowman?

Great game! Only one suggestion

This game is amazing, and if you are looking for a strategy game with great graphics and online matches this is the game for you. One complaint I do have is about the recent need to luxidor. While I do agree luxidor was unbalanced, it is now one of the worst tribes in the game. It now only makes three stars instead of four and this changed it a lot. It takes usually until you find another village or ruin before you can start getting economy going and this sets it back majorly especially considering you have to buy the tech which costs at least five stars. Luxidor is the most expensive tribe and it is honestly a disappointment of a once great tribe. Some suggestions I have to fix this are maybe giving luxidor a starting amount of stars of 7 instead of five. This would help to get early economy going quickly and would make it unique as it would be the only tribe to start with seven stars. Another thing if you don’t like starting with seven stars is increasing the amount of animals or fruit that spawn around the luxidor. This could also help economy to get going and would make it so instead of having to buy two techs to upgrade your capitol to only one. Otherwise this game is great and definitely would recommend playing. Thanks for reading!

Amazing

This game is a few years old, and the regular updates don’t add that much replayability. But still, if you haven’t played it, and you’re at all interested in turn based strategy, seriously, play it. It’s free, it’s fun, it doesn’t do anything to annoy you or to try to be more addictive than fun or any of the other nonsense you find in every other mobile game. In fact, the worst thing you can say about Polytopia is that it will make you depressed about the horrible state of mobile gaming in general. A small studio could pull this off years ago, and yet still, every good idea that anyone comes up with is ruined behind horrible monetization schemes that make the game no fun. Polytopia proves that you can do better, but nobody is bothering to do better. So, we’re all carrying around what should be an amazing gaming device but isn’t, just because nobody can think of any way to make money besides bombarding you with a storm of deceptive ads or manipulating you into paying to unlock the “free” content. But at least there’s always Polytopia to come back to whenever you get frustrated about the latest game that advertises that it’s not like all the other garbage and then turns out to be exactly what the ads say it isn’t…

So close to greatness

I’ve been playing Polytopia (supertribes) on and off for a couple of years now, there is just something that keep bringing me back. Every time I play I always dream of crushing my friends in a match to show off my skill, but that fact is I simply can’t do that. Multiplayer in this game is blocked behind a pay wall, yes there is the free “pass and play” but that just slows down the experience and isn’t very enjoyable when your trying to hide your position from your friends. I would love to see multiplayer became a free feature, and I do understand the reason it may be blocked is because you guys are a small company and you need some type of income, but still I feel that doing this would help the community out a lot. Multiplayer in general dealing with any turn based game always takes time. Now I am not sure how the online multiplayer in Polytopia works having never played it, but I feel like there is an easy solution to a more exciting fast paced experience. Adding a timer to every players turn; let’s say 5sec early on and progressively gets longer, would really add fast thinking and excitement to this already intense game. This is just some things I think you guys should improve on, I myself am a design freak and I have many other ideas, but in the end it’s your game and I really want you guys to succeed.

Great game

Hello, I like to start just by saying what a great game. This game is packed with hours of fun. I would like to make a recommendation for the third Special Tribe: The Engineers. Like in the Alien movies the engineers should be master creators. I will go over each special tab and then I will recommend some units. The hunting and fishing research tabs should enable the consumption and convert into a little amount of stars instead of xp so that you can create more units. You should be able to now farm these animals or upgrade them like the second special tribe, but no dragons. The riding tab should be a cloning tab so instead of more quality you get more quantity. Though the clone will be weaker and you can’t clone a clone. The engineer tab should give you something cool and the sailing tab enables ports. You should be able to upgrade a battleship to an airship. Everything else is up to the developer(s) for the tabs. Some units I recommend are healer and builder. The healer is obvious, but the builder should be able to construct walls that act like mountains and can construct bridges to go over water. The art for the temples should be exclusive. I know it’s a young idea, but I think it has potential. I understand the dev(s) might not even read this, but personally think something like this would be awesome.

Idea

I love this game I’ve been playing it for years and I had an idea for a new game mode. I think you should add a game mode where you can upgrade your troops on a level based system maybe up to 5 upgrading their health, attack, and movement. I think that I should be on a bigger map around 1000 tiles with more things to increase population so that can be used for the troop upgrade system and I think it should be a might style game but each tribes starting troop should be their “king” and they have to be defeated to as well as capturing all cities to destroy a tribe. Each tribe should also be able to appoint a heir only if their king is defeated outside of the capital territory and that that tribe has ownership of their capital. And finally I also believe the “king “ should also have a upgrade system based(prince-king etc.)on the territories and capital level, if a tribe has at least 5 cities (including the capital)and a level 10 capital it should be considered a kingdom providing score bonus and population per upgrade bonus. I love the game and I don’t think anything is wrong with it I just had an idea only a game like this could pull off correctly please let me know what you think of my idea!
