Lumbercraft Reviews

by Brædi

So i know the only reason you found this is because you were playing some other Voodoo game and they freely advertised this game to you. You saw the little dude carrying wood and chopping trees and making forts, and thought “hey let’s get a satisfying Voodoo game to play for a day and then ditch.” To be fair, this game is exactly like the advertisement (i’m saying this because most other games are nothing like the ad) to some extent. but, like all flare out and die and make some quick cash Voodoo games, you play this for an hour and you are caught in an endless loop, fighting in the same 5 formats, buying upgrades for your towers, and gathering wood to get the next base upgrade. i would say the ads are horrible, but they can easily be bypassed by airplane mode. this game is a perfect example of a game that the devs put more effort into advertising for than actually making gameplay more enjoyable(some other games like this include Top War and City Takeover). overall, it’s kind of satisfying, but realize it will not last and you will be bored quickly

This is just yet another game where the developers make it blatant that they weren’t trying to make a decent game with players in mind. YOU - the player - are the product. They made a game where you’re basically giving them free labor as a useful idiot who sits and watches ads over and over. I’ll admit that this game is much better than some of the other games just like it. At least it takes longer to realize that this game is going nowhere. You play it for a day or so and then it becomes obvious that the game is pretty pointless and there is no progression past the first couple of times you level up. But, again, that’s the whole idea. If you keep playing this game you’re just giving them free money by being an amateur ad-watcher.

The most efficient manner of beating a game should also be the most fun. That’s the golden rule for game design. The inclusion of the spinning wheel in this game completely ruins that.
The spinning wheel increases its payout proportionate to how many coins are in your balance. Spinning risks nothing as long as you go through an ad. So you’ve got yourself a literal exponential coin growth source.
Within a couple hours, I’m now at 7 quintillion coins. Yes, quintillion. I could keep going, but there’s no point. I can now spam upgrade every item in my camp by the hundreds, repeatedly getting popup ads, and my coin balance won’t seem to decrease at all. The castle is also fully upgraded at level 8. All mobs are now a one hit kill for me. It’s not fun at all.
But you know what? Neither was doing it the “normal” way. The slow way. The equally repetitive way. This game is empty. It’s got potential, but it’s so lacking in content and variability that simply sitting there through ads while spinning a wheel was more rewarding, in both senses.

by The Lord Of Hats

So, you saw the ad, saw the guy running around gathering wood to build a fort as enemies attacked. The game does (well, somewhat) have that. But the experience as a whole is very thin. As you upgrade your main fort, you will initially get something new with each level—the lumber mill for passive lumber income, spots for towers to protect your house from raids (not that they can actually do anything), places to upgrade your own equipment and your towers and so on. But it never changes the basic gameplay loop, except in that gathering wood or coins manually rapidly stops
being worthwhile—there’s only about ten different defense maps, and they just start repeating endlessly with no real variation. You aren’t ever doing anything that’s appreciably different from where you started out—it’s just that numbers are bigger.

Eventually you unlock the wheel of fortune, and that eventually lets you break the game’s scaling over your knee to reveal... there’s nothing there. It’s all just a long monotonous slog. Play it for ten minutes and uninstall—you’ve got the full experience.

It’s an awesome game but I was playing on it one day and I was getting pretty far but I went to close out Lumbercraft so I could eat dinner and after dinner I tried opening up the game and it got stuck on the loading screen for like 5 minutes so I closed it out again and tryed starting the game back up again and the same thing happened like several times so I decided to delete it and get it again because I really like the game and that fixed the problem for a little while but I had to completely restart and I got even farther this time and it happened again so I cant play and I don’t want to delete it again because I got pretty far and spent a good amount of time on it so if u could try to fix this that would be awesome and I will give u a 5 star

When I first got this game it was great, I played for a while and stopped for lunch but when I opened Lumbercraft it was stuck on the loading screen I kept trying to open it but nothing happened I still couldn’t open the game with some games if you shut down and restart your phone (in my case a iPhone) it fixes problems but not I finely deleted Lumbercraft (because sometimes that works) and when I re-downloaded “this app” my account was gone but I quickly progressed until I was back where I was on my old Account but then it happened again I don’t want to delete the game again because I had progressed pretty far and now I I can’t play that game anymore i’m very irritated and sad this game doesn’t work. Besides that it is pretty fun but not being able to play it gives it a two star rating.

Most of your games are bad and cash grabs, but this is fun. It’s simple but has an interesting concept. I hope that you add more towers, axes, enemies, shields, fevers, and stuff like that to turn it into an rpg. Right now it doesn’t have much content. I want this idea to go somewhere. Maybe you could even add different biomes with new types of wood to add a bit of crafting. Some bosses would be cool too. Also, it’s a crime there’s no option to pay to turn off ads. I enjoy this game but I don’t want adds to ruin it. Keep up the good work and please update this to make something great for once.

I’ve been playing the game for a while now (thanks to an ad on TikTok) and I quite enjoy it. The aspect of it is pretty cool. I like getting wood and being able to exchange it for gold and also being able to upgrade my house which allows for more defenses. Also, battling enemies is a good addition to the game as well. However, I feel as if the game needs more. For example, a HUGE element that is missing is sound. There should be axe noises and enemy noises but instead the game is dead silent. Overall, it doesn’t affect the gameplay but I would like to immerse myself in the game. Also, the fighting is good and all but it gets fairly monotonous. Waiting for my wood and going out to fight all the time gets boring. Also, there is not a large variety of defense towers. There should be other towers that you unlock at a certain level. An example I saw above was a mage tower. Seeing a large magical orb destroying our enemies would be a great asset to the game. Another potential addition could be more enemy types. Having more difficult enemies and actual bosses rather than just a couple waves of enemies would be really cool. It’s a fun game to play for a while but it gets a little boring with the lack of gameplay elements

by Wettes

The game itself is pretty fun being able to idle around for lumber to sell or actively go into a dungeon to get more. The problem is after playing a while, when I went to upgrade the saw mill using gold only, it still played the advertisement. I thought I mistapped the “watch ad get upgrade” button but when it finished, it still took my gold and did the upgrade. I thought “Well, not too much of a problem” but it actually was later on. When I got to building the dungeon portal and tried entering it, an ad started playing and I closed then opened Lumbercraft . After opening it back up, and trying the dungeon again, it played an ad right after completing what appears to be the first wave.

On a different note, maybe adding a different option to change the way you move your character would be nice since if you drag your finger past a certain area from where your finger landed on the screen, the character will stop moving or just slow down and have to quickly tap and drag to continue moving. Maybe something like a joystick or something to show the area where you can move your finger before it goes out of range and stops moving.

If you notice at all what Voodoo usually posts for games, you can tell it's made for a quick dollar. Usually it consists of quick endless games that you're forced to play without internet or else you get bombarded with ads. This game however, it's different the moment i saw it, especially for Voodoo. I am proud of Voodoo and Noor games for this, but there is room for improvement. First and foremost, my game no longer allows me to play after crashing and failure to fully load. Second of all, there needs to be a broader spectrum of things you can use in your island, or another island that you can inhabit. This game is too good to let go, if the devs update this consistently this can be a top game that lasts for a while. People love tycoons, especially if they're well made. Please devs fix the bug(s) and add more things to do. If you do that, I guarantee this will be a game that people would pay for. However saying this, don't make your game a simple cash grab, this has opportunity.

I’ll start with the good, the game doesn’t seem to be money hungry. I’ve had it so long I’ve actually almost maxed everything out (everything level 999) after the last update or so it brought in the option to earn these gem things to buy pets and cool looking stuff and personalise the little set ups. I maxed all that out as well I have everything the game offers yet I keep it around because it’s nice to pass the time when you’re depressed/bored/waiting. Now for the not so bad but not good, as mentioned before about earning the gems to personalise the little vendors, after the first day of having everything perfect how I wanted it (having fully upgraded everything) it’s back to the bland look from before the update. No matter what I do it won’t fix… Only reason I didn’t give a full 5 star rating is because of how repetitive the game gets… it’s great to log into maybe twice a day and collect the wood, sell it, upgrade your character so that when you do finally go into the fighting portion you’re super strong with an impossible to defeat lifespan but it’s the same thing every day. Login, collect, sell, spin wheel once a day, repeat. Even the levels are the same every 5-10 it resets to the same exact level layout and amount of enemies/type of enemies.

I really enjoy this game. It’s one of the few mobile games that is actually fun to play and is different from everything else I’ve played. However after playing for a while, it will crash and become no longer playable. It will not reload no matter what you do. You have to uninstall it and then reinstall it and start over from the very beginning. It’s really frustrating when you’ve gotten really leveled up and have a lot of stuff. I redownloaded it once, but I don’t want to do that again and lose everything again. So hopefully there will be an update to fix that soon and make the game playable again. It’s a really fun game, it’s very disappointing that once you’re hooked it crashes and won’t let you play it anymore.

I’ve been playing this game for a couple months now and it is a great game, it’s fun and easy to navigate. The only this I don’t like is the time it takes to get wood, I know it’s an idle game but it takes a full day for my slower lumber mill to fill up. Also I’m not sure if this is a glitch or just something that hasn’t been added but when you get your home base to level 8 you just can’t level it up any more. It’s gotten to the point where my slow lumber mill produces 1 million wood everyday which goes to coins, and now I have over 1.88AA health and can one shot any unit, also my towers are not invincible so the game has just become monotonous.

by Acrehdyd

I greatly enjoy playing this game, for its simple but enjoyable as well. But after a couple days of gameplay, I went to open Lumbercraft and never got past the loading screen. It doesn’t crash, but never finishes loading. I’ve tried hooking up to a string WiFi signal, my hotspot or just cellular data, but none make a difference. Neither does restarting my phone. I tried deleting and reinstalling the game, which worked for a couple days (and reset my progress) but then regressed back to the same issue. I want to keep playing this game but if I can’t get past the loading screen that just isn’t possible.

by Gaminghard

I was really enjoying this game but after a short time of playing the game crashed and will not open back up. It shows the developers screen but after that the screen goes black and will not do anything anymore. I removed it from my phone and reinstalled it hoping maybe that would fix it but sadly it happened again. I will try one more time but I don’t want to keep having to start all over again and again. Can someone please help me? I have tried cutting my phone off and back on and everything else it just will not open for anything.

by Canadianjames05

Honestly a great game but I feel there should be more to come so here we go.
1. I feel like you should add a new currency that you get when you win 1 round in the dungeons that you can spend on new upgrades for example one that would decrease the amount of hits it takes for frenzy or makes frenzy longer and the cool down bar moves slower or maybe an upgrade for reach how far away you can kill enemies or another could be increase the amount of wood you get per chop or maybe an upgrade that allows for you to hit a tree once but breaks two logs.

2. Appearance. I feel like instead of getting random gear when you buy better gear you should be able to chose what you are wearing without changing the stats. And another thing on appearance maybe make more skins for the character himself.

That’s all I’m sure I’ll be back with more thanks 😁👍

Hey just another idea why not have classes?
Examples
Maybe an engineer class that focuses more on the strengths and defenses and unlike other classes can rebuild towers after rebuilt
What there was a soldier/collecter that don’t focus on building but excel more in hand to hand, armour and collection of resources.

Thanks 😊

by Addrdccccycj246

Someone else posted similar to this, I had read the reviews before downloading the game simply because our opinions may differ.

In this case, it was very much the same. The game was really good but ended way to fast. Leveling the towers, armor and your strength became the only thing left to do which became boring since you were so strong it was rediculous. Towers killed everything in a single shot, I killed everything in a single shot. Once I bought up to level 100 on armor, I saw no point in playing since I had millions in health points.

Which was pointless since the enemy’s attacks seemed to scale to the level of your armor. Your towers however still slaughtered everything.
All I did was build towers and nothing survived.

More tower variety, more buildings, more enemy styles... just more.

Was fun for what it was.

My level is now: “990??”
The fortune wheel is broken. The more money you have the higher reward. I’ve made over billions of gold. I now can’t do damage unless I buy a new damage (weapon) upgrade. After 30 seconds of buying a new weapon I can no longer do damage. My house upgrade stopped making fort upgrades at level 6. My canons and archers don’t do more damage no matter how much I level them up. I make around 1,000,000,000,000 gold a day. This game could easily be the next RuneScape...please fix it.

by Whiteleapordforever

Welp, my brother and I where playing this game somewhat competitive and the Goal was to see who could have the most money. So My strategy was to spin the wheel and watch the ad for the bonus then watch the ad to spin again and so on and so forth. After about an hour of doing so I can no longer buy anything. Therefore I have all this money and nothing to do with it. Some one please help it’s a fun game and a great time waster and we would love to see a update with more options. Please send help!!

by Talking Foods

I’ll be honest. I have poor expectations. The game itself looked really fun but usually mobile games like this are filled with ads and in app purchases. This one is simple and nothing like that. I downloaded it to my phone because my brother was playing it and seemed to be really enjoying it. So I downloaded to play with him and have quickly become fond of the game. The ads are spaced out and there aren’t many of them. However the one thing I would ask would be to add more game modes to the game. It’s fun, but repetitive. Overall It’s a 9/10 game!

by Bohn1996

At first i was like, wow, voodoo actually made a decent game. I played for a decent amount of time and had a lot of upgrades on my lumber mills and defense and two on my house. After closing the game for the first time Lumbercraft refused to launch again, the beginning loading bar goes almost to the end and then just sits there. I tried force closing Lumbercraft and i tried restarting my phone but nothing.

by JordanIsBumbo

What I’ve noticed in a vast majority of games that allow you to watch ads for a free prize wheel spin is that they are always rigged. I sat through 15 ads just to see what rewards the prize wheel would dish out. Out of the 15 ads I watched, I landed on the same two spots right next to each other every single time. Unfortunately these were the lowest rewards. Statistically speaking the odds of this happening are next to nothing and the wheel is clearly rigged to give a decent reward as little as often even if that means tweaking the odds to where they don’t match the wheels appearance of what ur chances would be.

by Pringle Derp

So... yeah at first it was fine an awesome game I enjoyed it a lot but (there’s always a but) it stopped working. Every time I go to open it it loses most of the way just to tease me yet that’s last but never loads. I’ve tried time and again but it never loads! So these 3 stars are for the first few hours before it glitched out.

by Karma Ashton

Good idea and good design, definitely needs a option where you can turn off automatic building, also add a feature to upgrade already built towers and walls, add different axes, weapons for the player to use, new enemies, I was thinking about a demolition goblin thats sole purpose is to run straight at towers and plant bombs for it blow up, or catapults that the player needs to deal with so we dont just stay behind the walls forever

by 123729506

I do enjoy playing this game. Im level 200 for attack and defense with a level 8 house I think I upgraded the house as high as it goes but I’m not sure (I would like conformation if possible). Then one day i spun the wheel and now I can’t use money at all. Is this a bug? Also I would like to upgrade things that I build like the towers at the main base or the towers that I build while I’m fighting. Otherwise I’m pretty happy with everything that the game offers.

by Xiodinn

zones sometimes didn’t finish when all the waves of enemies were killed, towers would sometimes stop building and wouldn’t continue no matter how much wood I had and after upgrading my house to level 5 I stopped getting new upgrades for my house and town.

by Prysmatik

I made a billion in coins using the wheel of fortune. The game can’t register a number that large though. The game solves this by creating a second line for the coin amount and the first line being “1” for the 1 billion space. The stores and everything interpret this I’m assuming as me only having 1 coin and doesn’t acknowledge the second line of values, so I can’t upgrade anything. When I get additional money from selling logs that profit is added to the second line. Meaning I would have to make another billion coins for the game to think I had 2 coins total.

by JosephcraftHD

The game is a lot of fun! I’m currently level 200 armor and damage. I will say it begins to feel a bit repetitive. I think it would be cool if maybe every 50 levels, we fight a boss. It doesn’t even have to be a crazy boss, just something that is a bit more difficult but grants more reward.

All-in-all, I’ve thoroughly been enjoying this game. Can’t wait to see some future updates

by Domreview1

The game itself is fun but after closing Lumbercraft and trying to reopen it it wont load all the way through and I deleted the game and reinstalled it hoping it would help and it has the same issue

by Dog_Girl567

So I have one complaint,I can't get out of the rocks and upgrading stuff takes forever and it's expensive,but it's a really good game,but it does glitch,overall it's a lot fun and a good game and there aren't too many adds,but since my iPads like really old,I can't get out of the adds so I have to get out of Lumbercraft ,and it's annoying,is it just my iPad or is that happening to you guys too?

by TyDoseEveryThing

I’ve been playing the game for quite a while now sitting at about 41M coins and max upgraded base. I hope you guys release some updates for more variety and events or something to grind towards!

by Fattpill

This game is phenomenal. No great graphics of game play but at this point its not swamped with ads. Download it now. BUT if this game commits the u forgivable sin of dumping ads on us the. Delete it and give it a 1 star

by Issawi13

I have the same problem that other are having the game keep crashing and i have to remove it and reinstall it back... And should always restart everything all over again and again...
But the game is quiet enjoyable
