★★★★ Sweetheart miss 10/7/2024 v2.6
Extremely biased
This game is extremely biased you can obviously tell you ever developed this game was Christian or related heavily to Christian ideology a very surface level game no true depth or knowledge of other religions spirituality and ways of life. Don’t recommend

Overly monetized
Can’t get a feel for the game as they’re constantly badgering you to pay or watch an ad.

Update issue. Can’t open game now!
Just started playing the game and have to say it’s a fun game. however when I uploaded the new update, I now cannot open up the game. I clicked on the app and it just closes out .what’s going on?! I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and it will not open back up again. Please fix!

Issues with the game
You should not have to pay for a game and not have to be right off the beginning. It is a sin and you’re very greedy. amen
★★★★ gübü 3/5/2024 v1.2.22
Inept excrement.
The ads never end giving you the reward, it’s entertaining wasting my time like that for no reason. There’s literally not even an option for customer support, it looks like delusionally they expect you to make a discord account to get any ‘support’. This’s also a very unrealistic game. It should be titled religion or cult simulator since it has nothing to do with Christ the only God. Don’t waste your time with this.

I can’t play the game because every time I open the game it force closes.

Can’t even start a game
The game looked very interesting so I downloaded it but when I tried to make a game it kept kicking me out of the game at the part where you name your religion
If I was able to play it I would give it a higher rating but I can’t
Fix your game.

★★★★ marijuanachan 11/21/2023 v1.2.21
It looks fine at first but it won’t let me play
I have tried to run the game multiple times but after loading it shuts it down and won’t let me play. I’d suggest figuring out this problem, as of the fact I have also seen many other negative reviews saying the same things. Please, if you can, fix your game. I’d love to play it, but in it’s current state, I can’t.

Doesn’t seem to be compatible with iPad gen 10. Crashes 5 seconds after loading, every time.

Ad video
This game is a true scam, even after you pay all premium packages you have to watch ads if you click in the chest / and what they promised in the packages is not delivered.

Too many ads
I played one game. At first, it had some charm. I immediately recognized it as a plague Inc ripoff, but hey, that's a popular game for a reason, maybe this one has some merits.
Imagine a game that has you watch an ad every other time you open the upgrade panel. It's excessive to the point of being unplayable. If it was an ad at the start and end of each match then whatever. If it offered plenty of opportunities to watch ads for optional bonuses then whatever. But just plain gameplay featured so many ads that half the time spent playing was spent waiting for the ads to be over.
★★★★ 广告太多令人作呕 6/1/2023 v1.2.20
无处不在的广告令人作呕
不知道从什么时候起,游戏厂商不约而同地开始往游戏里植入广告。一局结束了看看广告我能理解。现在竟然在游戏中都不停的跳出广告。
别给我说游戏厂商也要生存。吃饭也要注意吃相!
★★★★ WhoHot 5/14/2023 v1.2.20
How do I get a refund
If I could give zero stars I would , the game is not at all like advertised. The graphics are basic the gameplay is uneventful and has no entertainment factor at all . I just would like back the money I spent on the game.
★★★★ tmothy07 3/6/2023 v1.2.19
It’s a busier, more muddled Plague Inc
Honestly just a worse Plague Inc clone with different skin, nuff said.

Bugs
I just downloaded the game and I opened it. I choose the religion I choose preacher and I press play. It loads and then kicks me out. EVERY TIME! I think this I a serious issue.
★★★★ Matagasco 2/3/2023 v1.2.19
SCAM - beware!!!! In-app purchases are fake
In-app purchases to remove ads DO NOT WORK. The game is still completely blocked by ad walls after spending $4 on unlocks. A third unlock appears and is a totally FAKE button in the app. You will never be able to actually play this game without ads regardless of how much you pay.
★★★★ Next722 11/21/2022 v1.2.19
Good graphic
Very boring gaming
★★★★ This app stole from me 11/10/2022 v1.2.19
TERRIBLE START!
I read an amazing review of the game I download this app immediately pay to unlock premium. Premium does not work, so I can’t even start to play the game I downloaded and immediately paid for because it’s already glitched! Great job developers! Oh; when I press restore purchases, nothing happens, besides some Russian, even though the language is set to English! I haven’t even been able to play for five minutes and I already want my money back or the premium access that I paid for! What the heck!?

★★★★ ur big fan once long ago 8/22/2022 v1.2.18
Plague Inc. but with issues
I tried to like this. I’m a big fan of Plague Inc., so it made sense for me to try it. The game mechanics have some issues. What causes atheism to increase or decrease and whether I win/what happens seems random rather than based on choices I make. I like that it’s difficult, but strategy games do need clear strategies or people will give up.
After game 1, the amount of ads shown during gameplay increases as well. I understand that ads are a necessary evil for game developers, but I value my time too much to sit through countless ads, and I value my money too much to pay to remove ads for just any game. I’d rather just play something else.
Just go play plague Inc.
★★★★★ KaiserReich333 3/30/2026 v2026.v1.1
Seriously?
As much as I had fun playing this game it is ridiculous to pay 29 cents only for the “free version,” then the full game costs 6 dollars, which is actually crazy to me. I really love this game but it is actually just stupid.

Stuck on Win Screen
Sometimes after I win the game gets stuck on the win screen. It’s really annoying.
★★★★★ Nfeyvf 12/7/2025 vsnowimgodom
It is alright but some issues
The gameplay itself is alright, it is like plague inc but with religions instead to change the flavor of the game with some added abilities for each religion thrown in. It honestly is fine, would probably give it a 3 1/2 to 4 stars if not for one bug that has completely ruined the game. I’ve encountered some strange glitch that has made part of the text turn to Russian in the menus and whenever I open the menu to buy traits for my religion, I lose access to every menu that should be there as they all disappear. In addition, population numbers also freak out as the number’s all got sent to the maximum whenever I attempt to look at a state’s or even the world’s population.

I like the game and all and I play on the easiest mode and I still CAN’T win please update it and FIX it
★★★★★ DarkOctober 3/24/2025 vGameFirst Full Premium 2025
I mean…
It’s alright, played 4 games on the hardest difficulty and I’m not sure someone could lose at this. It’s also very cartoony, a personal dislike of mine. It’ll kill about 10 mins of your time and then you’ll never look back. Wouldn’t say it’s particularly worth it
★★★★★ maddie...843 8/29/2024 v2.5
Won’t stop crashing
I used to love this game and just rediscovered it a few days ago. Every time I try to open the app it crashes. Pleaseeee help me fix this so I can play
★★★★★ HasteMcDuck 6/4/2024 v2.3
Way too many adds
The adds are a minute long and too often they ruined the game experience
★★★★★ ftyftyjfjyt 3/8/2024 v1.2.22
Don’t be fooled. By the truth hurts.
So is looking for a game like this and I found it and then I started playing I snored all the reviews and then I clicked on it and I was like why do I have to not why can’t I play all these different religions and then I clicked on the first one that you see and then I started playing it was really fun at first but then as I kept playing and start to get less fun and less fun instant stop giving me a religion but it’s something fun so don’t be fooled by how fun it looks in the pictures because it is not fun so take my advice don’t take my advice it’s up to you.
★★★★★ Iskaiph 12/4/2023 v1.2.22
Has a potential
So far your game is pretty fun but then I would like to add some suggestion, can you add new different world layout? That would fascinate the exp of players and and fantasy layout too for elves or dwarves and other fantasy race, that would give the so much uniqueness and diversity in the game. And lastly please fix the bug and don’t be too hard on adds because I don’t want to play a game where every 20 sec I gotta watch the adds that takes 30-1min long which is crazy. So for now I would be generous to give 2 stars.
★★★★★ Mely$ 11/26/2023 v1.2.21
Doesn’t work
Downloaded and it didn’t work
★★★★★ Bibs Tristan 11/23/2023 v1.2.21
Why🤨
When I first open up the game it kicks me out it happens before on my other phone to so if you are able to fix that glitch that would be very helpful. Also even if I get past the menus it gives you like two seconds to click any button before it kicks you out.
★★★★★ goofygoober1999 11/18/2023 v1.2.21
Looks like a great concept, just wish I could play it
The game crashes within 10 seconds of booting up, can’t get past choosing a religion and difficulty without crashing and having to reload. Even if I do nothing and just sit idle on the home screen it still crashes just as quickly. Like I said I’d really like to play this game, it looks unique and fun but trying 5 times in a row to race into the game before it crashes is very unwelcoming upon first impression
★★★★★ JaneBerlinH 9/8/2023 v1.2.20
Not strategy
I would have liked it if there was actually any strategy involved beyond the most simplistic and basic. The game is just random really that’s all. I finished the whole thing in a day by choosing randomly.
★★★★★ Lethancm 5/4/2023 v1.2.20
I hope to develop a Chinese language version
I really like this game, but it doesn't have a Chinese language version. I feel very disappointed and sad.
★★★★★ BetterArizona99 4/9/2023 v1.2.20
Good but can’t make a choice when it pops up
When a choice pops up I press a choice out of the 2 but it rather doesn’t do anything or takes me to the religion page. This pretty much makes the game unplayable. 5 stars if fixed
★★★★★ gokv FIFO fh 3/20/2023 v1.2.20
Ads kill games
This game bombards you with tutorials and overwhelms you with information, then once you’re ready to play you get ads. No thanks. Deleted.

Why pay?
I paid for the extras and they don’t work at all I still have adds etc I like the game but it over charged me twice and I don’t even get the addless game play I thought it was just glitched deleted it and redownloaded it still doesn’t work but it shows I payed for it
