User Reviews

TerraNova blends a compelling survival/colony-building premise with addictive early gameplay and detailed visuals, and several players appreciate its non-mandatory multiplayer and optional ad-based energy. However, the game suffers from frequent bugs that disrupt progress, save/load failures, and late-game blockers, making growth unreliable. The energy economy and monetization are a persistent source of frustration, often leaving players feeling forced to pay or watch ads with diminishing returns. Overall, the core idea shines, but stability and balance issues dominate most reviews.

Pros

Engaging survival/colony-building concept with no mandatory multiplayer
Addictive gameplay that can keep you playing for hours
Attention to detail and appealing visuals
Free-to-play friendly early progress with optional energy ads

Cons

Widespread bugs that break progression (buildings not counting, populations not increasing, items disappearing)
Save/load progress losses and resets that erase energy/resources
Energy/monetization friction (slow energy regain, small or unreliable ad rewards, pay-to-progress feel)
Late-game progression blockers (inability to build beyond a certain population, hindering growth)
UI/UX glitches and inconsistent behavior that hamper play

If you could enhance the quality and graphics of the game also expanding the story and putting more development schematics when progressing through the game. I think it would improve the game a lot better.

At first I could watch adds to get the energy I needed in the game but after a couple of days the adds were less and less available now by my 4th day I can only seem to watch 1 add/day for a total of 3 energy and the game does give a tiny bit of energy each day but with both of these combined it’s not nearly enough to even sustain the people. I did spend 5.00 on a pack of 300 energy and very soon after I noticed everything started to cost more or required higher level materials. Even simple things like turning on the water generator suddenly required much more. Also my people began gathering way less materials. My scrap metal collecting went from around 20 or more per day to 3-6 per day even after I added more workers on it & there were still plenty of places to get metal. Also every time it got to 5 or 6 pieces suddenly it went back down to 1 or 2 pieces. I had no one making tools so that should not have been the reason for this. Now my people can’t bring in anywhere near enough material for basic things like water or to repair any buildings. It sure feels like as soon as I spent money the game began trying to pressure me into spending more & more. But this has the opposite effect on me. It makes me not want to waste anymore money on this game because I know it will only push for more. I’ve had no luck with customer support either. I began building a Timber Mill, as it was building I saved the game and logged out. Next time I got on there was no Timber Mill but all of the energy and material I paid to build it was still gone. I emailed the developer and never got a response. Even though the game is super slow I did kinda like it. So I will play for now but will not purchase more energy. My people will either gather enough to go on or they will die and I will find a different game.

I just downloaded the game and was actually enjoying it however it said it saved my progress. I load my colony and it’s completely restarted as if I pressed new colony. I was looking forward to playing it. I deleted it.
