User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise Through the Ages for its deep strategy, faithful adaptation, and strong tutorials. The app is seen as polished and engaging, with substantial AI challenge at higher levels. Some players note inconsistent AI quality, plus UI/layout changes and occasional freezes after updates. Overall, it's a standout digital version of a classic board game, offering rich depth and replayability, but would benefit from AI balance tweaks and improved stability.
Pros
  • Deep strategic depth and a highly faithful adaptation of the board game with strong replay value.
  • Excellent tutorial and learning aids that make the game accessible to new players.
  • Polished, smooth, well-made app with clear rules and intuitive play.
  • Challenging AI at higher difficulties that provides long-term engagement.
Cons
  • AI quality is inconsistent across reviews: some praise the high-difficulty AI, others call for a stronger AI.
  • UI/layout issues and misalignment after updates (cards, leader pictures).
  • Occasional stability problems (freezes/bugs) reported by players.
Recent reviews
Despite having known “child enthusiast” Bill Gates as a playable leader, it is a classic. Great game I often come back to. A little hard to pick up, it does take some time to fully grasp how all the systems and resources are connected but the tutorial is both helpful and entertaining. Plus there is a ton of challenges if you want to try something different. Devs clearly put a lot of effort into the game and it shows.

Not sure how it’s got 5 stars but the challenges and AI are impossible to beat.
