Paragon Pioneers App Reviews

This is a great game - highly recommend. On round 2 and have found it to be reminiscent of Settlers from the old Commodore 64 days with regards to well thought out gameplay and build chain sequences. You can jump in when you want, no stress or pvp nonsense. Can’t wait for the developer to come out with their next game.

The thing is. I don’t know what I am doing. Doesn’t make things clear and after 4 days trying to figure it out. I am disappointed because I still can’t. I don’t know how the trade routes go, I don’t know how to even trade, and gold is very very hard to get. The tutorial was some what helpful BUT not really at same time. It doesn’t have a look here to know how to do things. Suggestion from me? …. A detail tutorial. With at least a place where you can read how to do things. But the good th

It’s a cleverly disguised puzzle game. You have to selectively build structures nearby other structures in a random-ish map. Almost every building has its own blueprint that is required by or from other buildings. As a casual gamer that loves idlers, builders, clicker games and similar, I should have went with my gut when playing the lite version. This is definitely not for everyone.

I really love playing this app. I enjoy the world building that it provides it doesn’t get boring. It actually gets more complex as time goes on as your master more and more skills you can actually really get into building a really diverse world. Well done to the developers!

It’s an idle town building game without the in app purchases! One thing I think would be cool is if you could add little people waking around, so it’s more like a town. :)

This reminds me a lot of those old Anno games. The game runs at a good pace, and it's a great value for the price with lots of hours of entertainment. The fact that this game doesn't have paywalls or endless IAPs is phenomenal. I certainly recommend it, and I look forward to future updates as well.

Really fun especially with the trade route waypoint system, tons of freedom and opportunity to customize your supply chains and economic empire.

So many hours put in to this game

I can’t compliment this game enough. Tobias (dev) charges $3 for the best game I’ve played on iOS since 2007. Tobias could succumb to micro transactions for ships, or to speed time up, or anything else, but he doesn’t. You just have to spend a bit of time to learn the game. For Anno lovers, this is a phenomenal mobile port to satisfy the itch. I only need to check in once a day to monitor routes and production. T5 in one month. Pop crashes not possible with the current base mechanics. Looking

This is a great game but it's pretty chill you're able to jump on play for a few minutes or up to even 30 minutes. only thing I wish this game had was some side quests or boss battles or some PVP to keep you busy on those day you have lots of time.

Great for playing now and then. No coins or pay to win shenanigans. Loading time of the app could be improved. Or buy a newer device 😁

It starts out as a simple island management game and scales to a transport/supply chain puzzle. Absolutely recommend.

Very nice game - reminds me of the original Settlers game from way back in the day. Love it so far.

This game is wildly addicting and finally scratches that idle itch without any stupid in game currency. No pay to play nonsense like some other games are entirely built upon. This game just requires thought and strategy. Has a splash of Caesar 3 and a mix of other elements. I couldn’t recommend it more!!

This game is worth its price. It’s an incremental without the nasty brain rewiring that happens to the player. It’s complex enough to make you think a little, but you don’t have to open Excel to git gud. It’s nice enough to ramp you up at a rate appropriate for the game play. There’s no punishment for forgetting to check in. Your people will stay, your processes will run — you’ll just make less money. And it seems like it doesn’t try to take data from you. Neat stuff. I don’t write review

I'm completely hooked on this game. Optimizing trade routes becomes incredibly complex, but in a very good, enjoyable way. It's not a game you're going to "beat" in a few days. It's got some built in time gating. Normally that would frustrate me, but it feels organic and correct in a game like this. Grab the lite version if you want to check it out, but you'll likely be buying the full version very soon and it's worth every penny.

I rarely buy games, and have only ever wrote one other review for a game.. this game is simply fantastic. I’m not one for an idle game where you wait for 8 hours for a small loot, and this game just has that low-med wait time, usually 2 hours max and I can go back to farming and building

The game was phenomenal until I started exploring other islands. Having to grind through other islands for the little maps in order to get a map I can grow wheat on is awful. I was hoping there would be like islands you find that are randomly generated that would allow you to continue progressing in the game but at this point my main island is just a gold farm so that I can conquer small uninhabitable islands to get maps to hopefully one day get an island that I can do stuff on.

I just wanted to take a minute and recognize what the dev did here. A full game that’s super affordable, has no ads and is very enjoyable. Oh yes, and there is a lite version that you can download for free and try the game out. I wish more devs had this approach. I went ahead and bought the game on both iOS and Android. As far as the gameplay goes, it’s a perfect balance between active and passive gaming on the go. Dev, if you get to read this, thank you and I look forward to more from you!

I love this game, happy it doesn’t have micro transactions because I probably would have spent some money in the game already :D

This is the first review I have ever done, but felt this app deserved a review. Kudos to the creator for creating a great idle game that requires you to think carefully about how you set up logistics. It’s the perfect game for anyone who loves supply chain and optimization. Plus no IAP! Worth every penny. Be patient and you will be rewarded!

It’s wonderful to see a solid game that isn’t crammed full of in-app purchases at every corner. This is a game that rewards strategy, requires planning, and has a good power curve and sense of advancement. I Highly recommend anyone who enjoys a good combination of idle and sim/strategy to give this a shot.

Basically a lot of the gameplay of the Anno series, but made into a semi idle game. Build production chains to satisfy worker’s needs to get more workers so you can build more production, and so on. Some light tetrising of your buildings as well to figure out ideal placements. All in all definitely worth it.

I have really enjoyed this game - it is what an idle game should be! Many idle games try to hook you with countdowns and limited-time rewards that are predatory rather than satisfying. Paragon Pioneers has an intentional pace to it that makes you want to check in and make sure things are running smoothly. If you miss something there is no penalty- just pick up where you left off. There is also a great deal of depth to keep things interesting, as production lines keep gaining complexity. Very rea

Great game. I think a neat addition would be to upgrade more of the basic buildings. It’s rewarding to see the visual changes when you upgrade a building. Maybe we could update the lumberjack to chop faster, even if it’s just a small amount. Same for fisherman huts, farmers, etc.

In a sea of games, this is a hidden gem. I am so happy I stumbled on it, I am truly enjoying it. Thank you.

Was skeptical but I’d say the game is worth it, especially if the dev is active in updating with new content

A lot of idle games seem to be little more than thinly veiled fronts to sell your time and attention to advertisers. This game treats you like the customer, and rewards you with a deep, fun, and well placed strategy game. It’s a new favorite.

Fun game, great art, my only issue is that it’s “too idly”. It would be nice to have optional content to play while I’m waiting 4 hours for my ship to find an island and have nothing else to do.

It’s an idle game starts out fine then there’s wait times for everything and it goes up even more like a war of empires game :( sad

Amazing game for a mobile device. More like this please. No in app purchases, no ads. SO GOOD. Wait times grow exponentially but you can make them faster with upgrades. Only con is the tutorial is too short.
