I really love this game, hence the 5 star reviews. It’s a lot of fun and I’m very appreciative of the effort that’s been put into it thus far. The potential of this game is huge and I’m really looking forward to seeing how it takes shape in future updates. There are a few quality of life issues however. I think the most obvious are the ads and not having an option to pay for them to be removed. Compared to other simulators I’ve played, the ads are not over the top for a free version and aren’t typically too disruptive, but since there is no option to avoid them it can get frustrating to play after awhile. Additionally, I think there should be a character creator or at least an era selector for new games. If I want to play as a Roman soldier, I shouldn’t have to start 15+ new games to get a character in that period and with enough health to make it past childhood.Overall, my issues are small compared to the fun I’ve had playing it so far and I’d definitely recommend this to anyone with an interest in life sims that aren’t copycats of bitlife. It’s a super cool concept and with time I could see this game taking off as more content gets added.

this game is better than bitlife by a stretch, the only 3 complaints i have are 1: The random deaths, the deaths in this game is insanely random and dosent even make sense, you can die to Illnesses despite ur health being at 100 and deaths like accident and violence make no sense, death via accident should only happen due to the users actions. 2. The game is slightly historically inaccurate, Ik it’s nearly impossible for a (i assume) single person to make a game historically accurate and make wars start and end on the exact year but in no way should kevian rus ( also Kevian Rus wasn’t rlly a nation but a term to descibe the loose political federations of rus) ever go to war with songhai china, and u could try to make major events happen during a specific time, like example: if ur born or living in 1237 in Cumania (which i dont think is in the game) their shoukd be a huge chance that you die to mongol invasions which should be labeled as violence via war, and another problem i have with this category is how the atomic age in some countries doesn’t even start in 1945 but happens either way earlier in a country that never had or has nukes (like Greece), and many other eventful historical wars should be added, not every war but insanely historical ones, like revolutions, civil wars, etc. 3: If you choose to live as a distant relative ur entire family won’t really have the same last name as you. Which is a minor issue but another issue i have is that in the primitive era the lands are crudely named, like what is the copper hills and old peninsula supposed to be? i like the ones that require a quick google search to learn like the caral valleys while some like the maize villages make no sense since that could be virtually everywhere.

This game is amazing. It’s like bitlife but with more thought and less paywalls. I love the concept of jumping through eras. I do wish decisions like war and whatnot had more impact and were more difficult than one game of minesweeper. I do however understand the difficulty of integrating something like that and will remain patient and hopeful. I saw another review complain about a few actions per year, but I think it’s perfect. Every action feels more important and you really have to weigh options.

Mobile life sims have a very tough job. They have to be engaging and deep enough that you want to play out a life but also simple and shallow enough that you don’t mind playing multiple lives. Eras is managing to strike this balance well. It’s unique not just because it’s historical but also because it approaches relationships in a refreshing but familiar way. There are some things that I think would really make it great like a more fleshed out descendants system (I feel like you should be able to marry of your kids and see/marry off grandchildren and great grandchildren too) and I think the interaction could use some work. But overall, it’s a really promising game, I hope it can grow.
