Klondike Adventures: Farm Game Reviews

So I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this game!!! I do have some suggestions though. I feel that it needs to be a little easier ti get energy and emeralds and things of that sort. I say this because the energy bar only goes to 54 and if you have nothing to add to it and you have to clear something it takes all of your energy in one tap. This makes me want to delete the game because I would love to play it for more than 8 seconds! I also feel that when building or needing extra supplies and you have to buy from the merchant... well i feel that it NEVER gives me enough time to complete and I end up waisting product that I could have used on something else. I have also found it very aggravating that the special quests also take ALL of your energy! I again would love to play longer!!!

All in all this game is great and fun. I do feel that y’all could make it more fun by reducing the energy cost it takes to clear things. I also feel that y’all could give us more energy and boosts. The merchant should stay longer or the products we make need to be less and lastly, I feel that it would be more beneficial if we could get emeralds and ruby’s easier WITHOUT spending real money!!! Thank you for letting me write this review and thank you for taking the time to read it. Like I said earlier, I do love this game, However, I do feel that it could be a lot more user friendly so I could play longer.

This game has a great premise; however, it can only be played in short intervals. Well, unless you are willing to spend significant $$$$ on energy/emeralds, which I did, to see what would happen. I will most likely delete it because you can’t Maintain your progress in an “immediate gratification” sort of way (unless you spend money). Instead, it’s a few minutes here and there. If Im relaxing in the evening and playing a game - I want to play- not start and stop every few minutes because I used my energy in 30 seconds. Can I suggest that you have players earn energy every time they complete anything (even if it’s 1-2 energy). For instance, any time a pipe is made, a brick is complete, glue is done, flour is done, window is done, butter is done - whatever, a player earns at least 1-2 energy. This should be the same with farm animal production, any tasks, etc. I’d be more willing to spend a few bucks here-and-there, if I felt the game was fair. I’m at the point where I am not spending anymore cash until something changes. Otherwise, I’m on to the next game! Most games I play provide opportunities to earn freebies and extra energy/points daily. This keeps customers happy because they (I) will purchase things here-and-there, but don’t always feel the need to purchase to continue. Hope some changes can happen because the game is fun and user friendly!

I’ve been playing this game for over a month now and I love it! The storylines and special events are fun, and the prizes are great. However, I find it difficult that I can’t arrange my station easily. You can’t move a building when it’s being used, and re-arranging is difficult. A suggestion I have is to make a way “Erase All” putting all of the buildings into a place on the bottom of your screen you can scroll through and select buildings, and place them where you want without the hassle of waiting for production to be over or moving everything around at the same time. I also find it frustrating that energy takes so long to load. I understand that for business purposes there needs to be an appeal to subscription, but it makes me want to delete the game sometimes because I can only play for about 3 minutes or less at a time before running out of energy. The time for energy regeneration doesn’t have to change, but maybe the amount you can recharge to can? Or maybe have more ways to get energy, or have things take a little less energy to break? Other than that I think the difficulty and the challenge is good. Games where you level up too easily are pointless. Again, I love this game! But, I feel that something along the lines of my suggestions might make it more user friendly, and help people to play it longer. :)

I’ve never played the PC version or whatever came out prior to the iPad version, but it is a fun game to play. The first 5 Levels go by pretty quick and give you the basics of playing the game. The game slows down a bit until about level 10-15 as you build up and locate the items you need to produce needed coins and energy, but hang in there, it’s worth the wait. I’m at about level 18 currently and you can play for a longer length of time without running out of energy so fast. As a fan of FarmVille type of games I have found this to have a similar feel with some nice twists. I look forward to the ability to play with others as it is only a one player game for now. The game is regularly updated and special events are incorporated also. The summer faire event has been fun and I almost have it completed. You can play without having to spend real money on gems, but to excel the gameplay extra gems would help obviously. I haven’t spent money on the game but I personally don’t mind spending $5-$10 here and there to support the developers. It’s obvious a lot of work went into this game so don’t be so quick to judge if you find it getting frustrating earlier in the game. I do think the help section could be much more elaborate in explaining the challenges often faced in the game, but at least there is something to help you along your exploration. Enjoy!

I absolutely love this game but I am losing interest. It reminds me of FarmVille, you collect objectives and are able to make and sell goods and so fourth. However, you’re only able to explore if you have energy points. The game does give you 1 point every 1.5 minutes but it caps at 50. You do have the option where instead of 50 points the game will give around 80 and in a short wait time but that’s something you have to pay for. Even with buying energy and emeralds, they go so fast. I’m left with no gratification and sense of accomplishment. To break certain stones takes 23+ energy points and if you times that by 5 (because there’s that many piles you have to get through amongst other things) you’re left in the same position you started at.. I’ve purchased a few things but again it takes me about 2 minutes to be back at square one and waiting about an hour to collect the 50 energy points given and to have to wait again once there’re gone. I find myself picking and choosing events to play within the game. You wait so long for the energy points to accumulate that when you get them, you’re not wanting to let it go to “waste”.. It’s a great game but you need to have the money or time to go far.

Klondike Adventures is always fun and entertaining! The developers keep it fresh and exciting introducing new events each better than the last. I love that they constantly ask for feedback to make sure the players are getting more of what they love. Now for a love note to The Northern Squad (their support team). They’re quick to respond to any game issues reported and ACTUALLY have a live support team! I can’t tell you how many games I’ve given up because of numerous issues that I’ve submitted to support that I’d just receive an automated message reply about that never get resolved. This would NEVER happen with Klondike Adventures. I’ve needed to reach out twice, for minor in game issues, and both times I had an actual team member respond! Yes, you will get an automatic notification from Silent Shadow that it’s being forwarded to the team but breath because it’s actually happening. Within 24 hours I had a Norther Squad member thoroughly explain my issue and even show me screenshots of behind the scenes diagnostics that show all was resolved. So to all The Klondike Adventures and Vizor team thank you for bringing us an awesome game, making sure your adventurers are seen and heard and for continuing to make it even better!

I usually open up and play KlondikeAdventures several times a day. It’s the sort of game that uses energy to play. Although you also can plant and sell crops and goods. (They cost game money, but not gems nor energy)
On days that I’m too busy, I don’t have to worry about collecting items. The goods do not go bad or expire.
The longer you play, the more energy you can store. Plus there are opportunities to earn trophies for events that give you extra energy.
Game play could be frustrating until you understand the options on where to spend your energy. There is a main story line, the trial race story line, several events, plus a home location. You also have to know what resources you need to have on hand to produce goods that are needed often. For example fire. My advice is to not worry about the trial race or events until you figure out the game play. Realize that you will most likely have to play this game often for short periods of time. I have ADHD, so this works out great for me. Lots of options, so I don’t get bored repeating tasks. And I can spend 5 minutes and be done until I remember to open my app again.
I have never purchased gems to play. There are videos to watch if you want extra energy or rewards. However you can always skip adds.

I have been playing this game for about 6 weeks, and have to say it is not a fast moving game Unless you choose to spend Lots of your own money, which I choose not to do. I play Several other games and those seem to move a long a Lot quicker, and I have no need to have to spend Any money on those games and can play much longer.
What is most disappointing is the energy level never exceeds past 53 on its own, no matter what level you are on. It really should give more energy as you master higher levels, and so it is used up very quickly allowing you to move very slowly through the game, which doesn’t bother me as I have other games to go to while my energy builds back up again, but I am sure it is frustrating to others as I have read other reviews regarding this same problem. I however haven’t seen any changes from the developers to try to make this easier or more fun for people to play along quicker.
Also, growing time for the vegetables is ridiculously long, and I wish it could be shorter as it can be frustrating as well.
I really enjoy the storyline and building the ‘home’ plot is somewhat fun, though it takes lots of time to build up coins to spend on buying items. Hoping to see some changes on making things run through a little quicker and more rewarding for the longer someone plays the game.

This game is really fun. Just like other games that are similar, you get 1 energy every 1.5 mins, you have a farm, animals, build buildings and can essentially cook and create things from the ground up. There is a map you get to go to different areas. Only thing with this is you can’t go back to those locations once you leave which is kinda dumb imo. That’s a lot of RSS missed out on in the beginning if you don’t know this. The level climb is really slow as well and the energy you get per level makes the game, at times, unfun to play since it takes days to clear just a little patch of trees. You have the option to use gems which can be bought with real money or slowly earned through leveling and some events/jobs but honestly it’s not worth it if you need items that can be bought only with gems which are a lot. At level 16 you only have 52 every you can use without add ones such as food, candy from animals and the sweets shop mini game that has like a 4-5 hour cool down which only gives between 0-45ish energy. So when it costs 65 energy to chop down one tree, you can see the concern that a lot of these reviews are talking about. The game is fun and the story is cute but this isn’t a full time game. More of a, I’m sitting on hold for 10min and want something to do while I wait” game. Get the energy consumption under control a bit more and I think the ratings would sky rocket.

I have been playing this game for a year now and I have to say it is fun! If you want instant gratification then this game is not for you. Yes, you use a ton of energy but if you know what to do you can gain more energy. Example: This game as a sweet shop, cauldron and furnace. You can play the little sweet shop game 3-4 times a day that allows for extra energy. Continue feeding your animals and collecting from them as once they max out you gain sweets that go towards the cauldron for energy as well. When clearing an area out, little by little you’ll receive fruits or what not that go towards the furnace again for energy. It’s not a game meant to be played for hours and I appreciate that. I can pick it up, play it a few minutes then sit it back down. It has a calming affect that way for me as I am spending so much time on it at a time. I also like to clear out all of the area before going to the next. There is no time limit for this, so even when I have completed all the tasks, I can stay there and collect more materials like wood, water and all of that before moving to the next place. All in all, would recommend this game is fantastic!

I played this game and really began to love it but it is designed to cause extreme frustration unless you spend money on Gems. I play lotta games and most of them are designed to get you to buy energy to move the game along but the games are still reasonably playable not this one. This one is the most extremely blatantly designed to make you spend money on gems, which get used up pretty fast and you’re back at needing more gems. It is either buy gems or play the game at a snail’s pace. It takes all the fun out of the game. The energy that you can earn naturally is much less than you need to clear a tiny section of very large area. I really regret the money I spent on this. Since It was like extortion. Want to move the game along? Then you better buy more gems. So as much as I loved the game… I could not afford to play it anymore.

The developers response indicates that I am not using my time wisely but I did all the things that they suggested. It’s amazing how many reviews mention exactly the same thing about the expense but It is ignored. As so many other reviewer‘s have said, I have no problem supporting a game by making purchases but within reason. It makes me wonder how many of the five star reviews are really valid. This game will never have really loyal customers, unless money is no object for them. I guess they prefer quantity over quality. Game loyalty must mean nothing.

This game is only “free” if you like games where you log in multiple times a day for very short intervals. Because it uses a very punishing energy system (with a short bar that often doesn’t cover larger actions that you need to undertake) combined with a farming system that costs money to plant crops/livestock, it’s rare that you can just sit down and play. You can’t even idly farm because you will run out of money. I’m only on level 15, but so far the order board has slim (uninspiring) margins and the marina is a net loss. There are some days I log in only to get the daily reward so that I can actually get back in the black. I never own the max # of chickens or cows because they’re too expensive - there are days when I raise no chickens at all because there’s no demand, and $$ is tight. That’s kind of depressing, actually. I’ve only (partially) played one event, and it was fun I guess - but it sucked up all my energy, and I’m not sure it was worth the setback in the main game.

When the pandemic settles down more and I go back to the office full time, I will probably delete this game. I don’t have time to log in multiple times throughout a day when I’m physically in the office. I’d prefer a game that will let me get a good 20 minutes out of it in one sitting, when I’m done with work for the day. This game gives me about 2-5 minutes. Thanks.

This game is fun but not enough energy to get anything done. You clear two areas and your out. You either have to wait for the energy bar to charge back up or use food to gain more. I guess at least they give you a means to recharge but it’s aggravating and you have to stop what your doing and go back to your Home then back to whatever spot you are on the map. Next is not enough money to buy what you need. To get money you get a Dailey login bonus and the only other way I have seen to make money is to complete the orders on the board. The orders on the board are things you have grown and manufactured. This is a long process. Lots of time. The further you get the longer it takes. You have to manufacture each item say you need a pie and you have to grow the pumpkins, make butter, make glass jars for it to go into, another words you have multiple manu going just to make one little item. Next is the quests. Multiple quests are thrown at you yes you can pick and choose but it takes weeks to get one simple one done. To sum it up, not enough money to buy buildings, not enough workers to complete buildings, not enough supplies to complete buildings, just not enough anything to get anywhere. Cute game but if your looking to play this to relax forget it it will make your stress worse.

There’s been a massive attempt by the developers to make this game as annoying as possible so the users have no choice but spending real money. The only purpose of this game is to make the developers rich rather than helping the players enjoy the game. They have done a pretty good job with the graphics and the storyline but you need energy to do everything in order to make progress in the game. They have made it so hard to gain things that help you, such as energy items, because you need to gather so much in order to do so little. I’ve never been so frustrated playing a game that this one has made me. I barely enjoy the game and I am deleting it.

I did spend money to see how that helps, guess what, I got to do some things and the emeralds I purchased ran out because you need way too many to gain so little energy. So I don’t recommend this game at all unless you have the patience of a saint. I’m known as a patient person but I am constantly annoyed playing this game.

I see the developers feel like they have to respond to negative reviews rather than making helpful changes in the game. DO NOT write me a response, and if you do, you will just help me prove my point even further. I should also mention that their advertising is false and there’s no mention of what a pain it is to gain energy and you loose all of it by removing two object out of your path. Terrible game.

I 100% agree the unspeakable gamers review! I have spent a LOT (over $200) of money buying gems and energy and I just can’t spend any more. I don’t mind spending a little here and there to support the development but I can’t spend that much. You get 1.5 energy every how ever many it says but to clear 1 rock is 45-90 energy units. I’ve found all the campfires and stoves to gain energy but still not enough for a “satisfying” round of play as it depletes so quickly. I’ve deleted the game and started over because I missed it but I’m going to have to say no to spending any more money. And then the merchant ship comes but leaves before you have time to make everything it wants because you need more workers to run all the work but you can’t finish the apartment building to gain more workers because you have to fill the ship so you get the shelving for the apartment building. I enjoy the challenge and the variety but getting WAY to expensive to continue.

Just updated KlondikeAdventures . The Independence day celebration and the park were a promising start but 15 mogle gogles, 10 cardboard, and 5 nails to knock down one gate???? Geez! Thanks but no thanks! I appreciate all the vases and cases but no energy or actual needed items in them...sorry but I’m probably deleting this game. Just too expensive to continue.

I loved the game for a while. It was soon evident that little or no progress could be made without spending what adds up to A LOT of money. Without cash, you barely get play time; The game becomes a job. Who can relax with that? I play games because I am semi-invalid, house-bound, with chronic disease. I cannot afford to spend a lot on a game. At one point I got to cut down 3 items that lead to no reward nor reveal. Then all of the energy that I had paid for was used up!! Really?!! That's just a rip-off!! I have deleted the game. But I am sorry to have to do so. It had potential to be both fun and addictive. The graphics and sounds are really cool. One problem is the crazy amounts of energy one patch of grass or a rock uses up and the added difficulty to find the one that opens the next scene for completing the task. Three grass patches, out of energy, no progress forward: that's how this game goes. The energy fruits hidden in the grass and bushes have very little power up capabilities in the scheme of things. Make those a lot more potent. Significantly reduce the energy required to cut down anything. Require a few less steps to build or cook something. Show more clearly the location of the item that has to be chopped to get to the next scene for completing a task. Do just these things and I will be glad to dish out a few dollars once in a while on this game. Until then, bye.

This game is fun and somewhat addictive but the developers need to change some aspects of the game to make it even better.

1st they need to let the energy build up higher. If they would just let the energy continue to build up while your not playing instead of capping it at 50+ it would be a great game and you could actually accomplish a little more when you play. I’m not unemployed or a 4 year old sitting at home with nothing to do once an hour. I get to play 4-5 times throughout the day and with only 50ish energy I’m done exploring in 5 minutes or less which is the fun part! The rest of the game (building and making things), is just kind of monotonous, which is fine but gets boring after about 10 -15 minutes. Also why do you have to burn energy to collect items you make in the factory? That always burns through more than half my energy each time I collect.

2nd I don’t understand why they have to close off maps that you already completed. Even if the task in certain maps are complete you should still be able to go back into them to collect resources. An example is, right now I need bushes to make fire etc and my open maps have very little or no bushes to earn sticks and making bushes in the factory is way to slow to be able to accomplish anything.

I’ve played Farmville for 8+yrs; spent a few hundred over the years just to keep interesting BUT this game- Klondike is actually better. You build up yr town and you get to go out of yr town to explore &gain resources w some fun challenges like cave exploring/ hunt (w no gross effects lol) different task to gain more energy. First 3-4 levels I was unsure but I’m now level 12 within a couple weeks of random play- but now- can’t put the game down! I love it! Interesting for long game play; hour or+ w energy or short quick play w lunch breaks - while energy rebuilding. I’ve spent $50 on gems but I’m impatient lol - I will not be spending like in Farmville! No need! But the developers of this were great! Simple & smooth playing. Special holiday task/place to explore;adding energy spots in hidden areas;
I’m 49 and this game clicks w young to old players! Co op / other gamer trading post is not available but sure it’ll come; updates are quick n easy. No game crashes or glitches- don’t try and roll back yr clock to gain because developers are That good and cheats don’t work which is good so if co op groups start everyone is same level not making game play harder on others.
Love It! Try it!

I’m a new player, level 13 at the moment. I enjoy this game a lot, however it does take a lot of energy to make only a couple moves and can be frustrating at times with only 51 energy count max with time. There are ways built in the game to produce energy which is helpful but with several events and locations to work on at a time, it runs out quick. I’m having a hard time earning coins at this point in game. There’s a lot of steps to work through to get buildings up and items produced to earn the coins. It would be much more enjoyable if less energy were required to break stuff. I’ve been playing less than a week, already spent $8 on gems. 100/$3.99. (Gems allows purchase of missing ingredients, energy, dynamite, workers or to speed up production). I’m now out of items needed to make energy and only 51 available at rate of 1 gem=1.5 min. I’m low on coins (less than 500), not enough workers to produce everything in a timely manner, and now thinking I won’t be able to keep up pace for events. I don’t mind spending a little $ here and there for support but not at the rate I’ve started. Maybe I’ll skip special events and stick to basic storyline for now, if that’s possible, but that’s a bummer. I’m really hoping it gets easier with higher levels bc I do enjoy the game.

So I got this game in early 2020 and for the first few months I was totally obsessed. Recently, this game has gotten pretty boring and honestly kind of frustrating. As a lot of people have commented, this is the kind of game in which you play for about a minute and then have to wait an hour to play again, which isn’t fun. And now that I’ve played Klondike for 8+ months, I’ve noticed that it’s the same exact activities in a loop. For example, the Mazes: there’s one every month of so, and the kind of “islands” you go to are the exact same every time. I get that there’s holiday activities, like Halloween, but it doesn’t happen often enough for the game to be interesting. I can tell from the majority of comments that I’m not the only one feeling this way. ALSO, and this is the important part for people who are thinking of downloading this game, do NOT get sucked in to the idea of buying emeralds. It’s ridiculous. You have to use 5 dollars or more of your money to get 80 emeralds (you can use these to move quicker in the game, basically) that you can’t help but use up in one day. And once you start, you can’t stop. I understand the game creators are just trying to make money, but it’s really maddening. Overall, great concept, but bad execution😕

Love the game. . . . But, there is always a but. Suffice to say, the game is fun, challenging and entertaining, however, the ships to earn tools or supplies, demand too many of one item or a combination of items requiring you use one item to make another, case in point, cargo requested, pumpkins, and pumpkin pie, it’s very hard to grow enough pumpkins to make pies and keep pumpkins in stock when they take so long to grow, and use so many to make a pie, quite frankly and I have done this, one pumpkin in real life can make many pies, so one pie is sufficient for making a pie. Windows, tables, beds, require 3 to 4 bells? Really? What’s the logic behind that? I am giving this game 4 stars because it needs to realistic goals, pretending is fine in a game, but when it becomes so illogical you shake your head and try patiently waiting to meet goals without spending real money to move things along, then-it becomes boring because game time decreases and you move on to something new. I am almost at that point, but hoping my review will open a few eyes and the game will get a few updates that make more fun and less time wasting. Thanks for listening, adventure is fun in a game, frustration is not.

I don't usually review games but this is one the few games I've been playing for a really long time, so i guess I have a say. There are many similar games out there but somehow this one is able to keep me interested. I'm fine with the energy limit because that limits my time playing. HOWEVER recently (at least for the past season), the special events are being too frequent! They're fun but they always consume a lot of energy. Especially for a player like me who likes to clear an entire chapter before moving on to the next, frequent events has made it impossible for me to finish the regular chapters. Same with the trade company addition, It's like an endless event. Although I get some good resources from that, it's just redundant and not fun anymore. The "park" thing doesn't have a point. The only use is the weekly energy boost but you can offer that treat in a different form, without me entering the map and collect those bars. You can remove the park and the trade company, and instead have a garden map, where players can decorate with all the furnitures and animals. It's similar to the "park" but without those maintenance work and I don't have to squeeze everything there to get a higher score (which makes it ugly and chaotic).

I have been playing your game for about a year nor and I can longer get the order board which means I can no longer get the tools I need I need to build things, like building a crate for tomatoes watermelons pumpkins that need to be put in the crates to send off in the ship which means there are Tim’s I cannot send off a full ship and I find it frustrating, pluses I agree with the others you can really only play the game for maybe 5 to 10 minutes then wait 30 min, to an hour or more to play again, if I wasn’t so determined I would have deleted the game months ago,

Thank you for the tools but my order board is still not working it keeps telling there are no available videos and on the rare chance there is one it still does not give me the tools, also the candy store constantly ends when I reach 40 points,I love the new addition of the balloons and the barrel.
😉every time I try to change advents it kicks me out to the loading, sigh,game beginning over and over again. It’s annoying enough to counting a having to do when playing the new game together energy again and again and again. It would be more interesting if someone that cannot buy something toacomplich
than that I love the came

I actually like this game. It’s fun to play and they aren’t overly greedy like most games are nowadays. The big problem I’m having is that it’s really hard to get trowels. Even when I earn a reward that gives you tools every 20 minutes, for a limited amount of time, it only gives me saws and hammers. The only way I’m able to get trowels is through the order board which gets harder and harder to get to the rewards each time you complete it. From the last update, they changed how the order board works. It used to be that random orders would earn you tools. Now, you get points for every order you complete, easy orders only give you 5-10 points per order and more difficult orders will get you 30-45ish points per order. You don’t get rewards until you earn 250ish points at first, then it goes up every time you hit the points goal. You don’t get enough tools as a reward. There are supposed to be all these ways to get tools, but they always give me hammers and saws. Or I will get a bunch of hammers and saws and only one trowel. The reason it’s so frustrating is because several things require materials that you can’t craft without the trowel. So it’s hard to craft buildings, fulfill orders, complete tasks, etc. so that makes the game less fun.

It’s still a game that I would recommend, I just hope they change that one issue in the future.
