Smurfs' Village Reviews

by Abby8725

I played this game many years ago, a conversation triggered the memory so I looked it up and was excited to see it! I quickly became bored and honestly waayyyy too overwhelmed from the large amount of random/holiday themed items. It would keep the game fresh if they rotated the content (even if it was the same exact seasonal content) and cut down on the far out and huge collection of items. Plus every task became boring quickly due to the lack of true direction.
I decided to take it slow and not put pressure on playing too much and getting burnt out in a few hours. I decided 1-2 times per day was enough.
My final straw was loading in at 12am (previous load in was 10am) and all my crops I was excited to harvest were ruined. Absolutely stupid of the game devs to ruin a relaxing game. Instead they’re pushing paid perks at you that cost a ridiculous amount of actual money and it loses the fun aspect when you’re constantly limited in almost every way.

I’ve been playing this game since it came out and have loved every minute of it... until now. The new UI is terrible compared to the old one. Overcrowding on the screen paired with new babyish graphics make the game seem less professional and more like something put together by an amateur. The new build menu also lacks compared to the old one, while the search feature is an amazing idea and the switch to purple is a nice little quirk when entering the vip tab, the shop has basically been downgraded in every other aspect, again due to overcrowding... all of the options are grouped closer together and the images and text are blurry as well as too much organization... the winter and Christmas tabs seeming like a good idea but never getting enough use to justify the added steps in the process. Confusion is also added in the crops as the stars are now grey making it seem as though there is nothing there. And finally, the game master no longer rewards a free box, why... that just forces players to have to be more likely to pay for good items. All in all... the new update isn’t bad if this had always been the way... but to consider this an upgrade from the old UI is not at all accurate

Oh yay another update; another smurfy wonder! Not really, I do appreciate the smurf berry however if there aren’t expansions soon wonders and apartments will be all I have room for. Let me finish building the remaining wonders before I have to make more room, please? Hard enough to sync a henge with the outback and an Asian themed zen park. I honestly wish we could move wonders to different places..I’d put the Christmas/winter wonders on the mountain. I’d move last months new wonder to the grove, split the beachy wonders between the main village and island and Move the henge to the village. Gotta say, I may miss next years statue because it’s just so much the same at level 86. Then again maybe something will change! The platform will increase in size or versatility, prizes might actually change with level increases, or they could bring it back down to where you need the work oriented smurfs quests to progress. Who knows. Whichever way it goes I expect level 86 to have harder/longer quests and better prizes for the effort than level 20, 50, or even 80. It’s a lot to do so stop with the wonders for awhile and make good changes instead of clutter!

PS..I also hate the timing of the pop up ads.

I love playing the surfs, but liked the original better. I have played smurfs for around 10 years now and really enjoyed everything about it. I took a short break from it when I switch my phone brand because of storage and not being able to transfer my very developed village. One thing that frustrates me is that I am constantly having to by something or more than one something for $3000 to complete a task. Those buildings or machines are suppose to give me a smufberry once all the stages are completed. I am not one of those that can just spend my actual cash on a game to get further. I loved the game for years because I was able to still have a nice village , be able to build up my cash to spend on those extras, and earn those smurfberries. I am very close to deleting the game because I can never have enough money, and just when I think I am doing well and building up my cash I have to buy 3-4 buildings and my coins are depleted. I get that you have to make money, and there are people out there that are willing to spend all their money on a game. Yet us little guys that still want/ deserve to enjoy a game even if we can’t spend the money. Can’t even try to compete in contests because I don’t have money to spend.

Smurf fan, loved it for years, but definitely needs a lot of work and personally I’ve had NO support on bugs I’ve encountered (like for example going more than 30 levels, years have gone by and still haven’t been able to complete the Totem on the Island having completed multiple times all tasks but SmurfsVillage is just not keeping/showing track of the progress and have never received a solution from support through 3 different companies that have taken over the development of SmurfsVillage ).

Also love almost all the specialty items, great and fun designs but hate the fact that there are so many and all $5 or above even with so called “exclusive offers” would take a fortune to get them all, and NO other option, like earning them with goals or smurfberries. And to risk losing them over a bug... Definitely not worth it.

I’ve been playing this game for 9 years.
I believe you should give us message boards for are neighbors so we can enter act with them.
Reading other reviews -I agree totally with them. Every sense the game has changed hands it has change for the worst. I have way more problems with stuff. The game messing up. I have one friend that as soon as I load their village it kicks me out of the whole game. 80% of the time Jokey Smurf doesn’t even work. There is another smurf that doesn’t work right. It’s the one that starts on Mondays and ends Thursday morning. Every time it asks you to do a quest that involves fence straight or corner pieces , you buy them then it doesn’t work and I refuse to spend smurfberries to get past it. Once there was a glitch in the game and it gave me 3 things I already had and usually you can only get one of the items and the game won’t let me delete them. I do not want both of them. 1 is Vanity Smurf another is the bird feeder and one is the cauldron. I sure don’t need 2 each. It also won’t let me delete some things I would love to delete. It won’t let me delete the arrow and the target for the arrow WHY ??????????????????
I really don’t understand why you are not able to delete what ever you want to. My rant is over for now and I know there is more

I really enjoy the game! I recently downloaded it again and started from scratch and I was pleasantly surprised with its development, storyline, and fun quests! Unfortunately, it has a lot of bugs that need to be fixed. E.g., the application randomly closes, I can’t place some items from the Game Master’s Mystery Boxes, I won’t get notification sometimes even though they’re enabled, my player picture changes without me changing it, and it says I lost my WiFi connection when I visit the Video Hut or Traveler Smurf’s Caravan. Hopefully some of this can be addressed in future updates??? Another let down is that a lot of quests require us to get buildings/ wonders that requires thousands or resources to build, which unrealistic for someone who does not make in-app purchases.

by Philiborus

I love the Smurfs! I played for years and then kind of stopped playing for a bit, but now I’m back into it, and I can’t stop playing!

One problem that I have been having is when you try to do the extra missions for more Smurfberries, it never seems to work. Like if I choose to do a simple registration for something and I complete it and then go back to the game, it’ll be as though I never clicked on the extra missions in the first place and I still don’t get the Smurfberries, which is very disappointing.

I’ve also noticed that when I use the Traveler Smurf’s hut (I’m pretty sure that’s what he’s called?), some of the ads you can watch for rewards have no way to exit the ad after you finish watching it, which is annoying. So the only way I can get my reward is to randomly click on a black screen (because the end of the ad is just nothing?), until it finally exits the ad. This also happens when watching ads for other mini-games in order to get twice the amount of coins and XP. It also gets very annoying to close the ad, because it will constantly redirect me to Safari and then to SmurfsVillage Store multiple times, so I’ll have to constantly re-enter the game and try again.

Other than those few things, I have loved everything else about Smurfs. It is so addicting to continue playing and time-consuming when I’m bored and need something fun to do.

I’ve read a lot of reviews over my 10 yrs of playing this game and Im finally ready to WRITE one for myself so here it goes...let me start off by saying I love this game...I even take my iPad on vacation with me and sign into WiFi overseas (expensive) jus to “smurf”. Anyway as a long time player I do have issues with the price of certain items like the castle, gargamel, or other cool stuff. You can’t even pay smurfberries for them, you have to pay cash so you can be in the “v.i.p” club. I’ve been playing since before the v.i.p club was a thing. You would think I could get “grandfathered” in but it’s cool I’m in😉...I’m never gonna stop playing lol...sorry for ranting. So my advice to newcomers is to be PATIENT and build those wonders!!! 1 at a time. Use your smurfberries for resources. Once you build the wonder it gives you 1 smufberry(weekly) to use for something cool. That’s how I play but that’s jus me. KEEP SMURFIN🤙

I hope things get fixed sooner rather than later. The divers on the island (IPAD) have a major issue. When you send them down they do fine, but when you attempt to collect your prizes, it only collects from about 15 divers and then after that the boxes open and it shows prizes, but it doesn't allow you to collect. At first I thought they were still accumulating, but they aren't. The only way you can remedy this is by closing out the game entirely and going back to the island. This isn't just on my tablet, my daughter has another apple product and her smurfs is doing the same thing. Otherwise, I have been a long player, I downloaded it when it was released. I enjoy playing, and I really like how reporter smurf is offering resources and better gifts after 7 days of collecting. I follow the Facebook group. Please keep the updates coming.

I play this game every day it broke my heart when I couldn't play for awhile bc game was updating I guess but I absolutely love this game !! Now it's back on and I'm going to continue to play it every day I'm so addicted to it lol I'm on level 30 I thought I lost everything I'm glad it's back on !! Shew !! Since then I did loose my game and now I restarted it thing is I’ve spent real money on the last two game and can’t get them back it’s the same email I’ve always used so it seems like I could get my game back or where I left off I do love this game until it don’t update and can’t play anymore I was so far last time I was to the meadow space and the beach etc I had so much on this game and it’s a shame I can’t get it back I wonder why ??

by Lisa Leei

I’ve been playing for years and the game would be much better if you would rotate or switch the game rewards from time to time. I’ve stopped playing some of the games because I already have too many of whatever is being offered. Also it would be nice after spending so much time and resources building all of those wonders that they would do more than offer weekly smurfberries how about being a really interesting game? Also needed is an override where you could pay smurfberries to complete challenges. I can’t tell you how many birds and animals I’ve a
added or how many crops I’ve harvested to make smurfade until I’ve given up - but it still registers that the goal hasn’t been met How do you get rid of snow? Sick of looking at it already

by Schlgrl

I, like others, had to take a break from playing. I do enjoy the game but each task is so expensive. I don't mind buying a few smurfberries now and than but 10,000 coins for a snail? Also there needs to be a way to bypass some of the challenges. Grouchy is never getting his cherry cake no matter how long he has that ! Over his head. Also we grow areas (i.e. Planet Smurf and mountain) but have nothing to fill yet. All of the major buildings have come one at the same time. Why can't I just focus on main village and get more space there?

An update, they lowered price of snail but now I need to buy a butterfly for 10,000 coins or 20 smurfberries? It doesn't give you smurfberries just XP. Really think of what you are pricing. 25 smurfberries for something that gives them, great. A butterfly, no.

I have loved this game for many years and now that I’m dealing with health issues it is very useful. Yes I spend $100 or so a week right now building new and buying new as I watch the sales, and E.O.

But this does nothing for each time I have had to double purchase everything, and resetting in settings as your to do, the current levels I need are never ther on either type of save. I have waited over three months to get back $300, but yes i still choose to spend, because as I said its extreamly therapeutic, when working correctly.

I did notice tonight, as I was finishing up adding some new items, I took a break to go and give friends rewards, gifts, as I do every night, and this is now the third time this has taken place…

Once I visit all, leave gifts and return to my own, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN UNDONE< PURCHASES GONE< as if never happened, and not in settings to reset and bring p on a prior save, so now I’m out another $200 because yes I AGAIN choose to re purchase the deals and EO because if I dont by the time John gets back to me, months and still no refunds, I would not be able to have what i purchase

I don’t like most of the games in SmurfsVillage Store but I found this game after watching a Smurf movie and oh, I am addicted. It is suitable for all ages. The interface is very well designed, and the story line is so well written- I love all the characters and how they interact with the items and their environments. I also extremely appreciate the fact that the ads in this game is 100% optional. No disturbing ads, and no ads interrupting ruining your game. Moreover, all the resources can be earned by playing so you are not forced to pay. There is also a forum of players online where you can read up the Q&A to do quest and advance your game. Overall, really great job, developer team. I sincerely believe that this game deserves much more attention on this platform.

I’ve been playing this game since it first came out 10 years ago and throughout the 10 years I was very dedicated for about 5 years of it and would play on in off the other five years but I would make sure you keep my village going and always come back for the anniversary and Christmas time. I lost some of my anniversary gifts and I’m so happy that they were able to return them to me once I had contacted them about my issues. I’m never disappointed whenever I reached out to them about an issue with the game. I love this game this is the only game that has been consistent with me for this long. And I put in work within my village and the other areas. This really has opened up my creativity a lot. Thank you and still a fan

I’ve been Playing Smurfs Village for nearly 10 years. I call it a mild strategy and time management game because either coins or Smurf Berries are required to complete certain tasks, and it takes strategy to figure out ways of accumulating and maintaining a bankroll of gold coins and berries. I don’t like to spend real money playing games so I’m at a disadvantage compared to people who are more willing so spend cash on buying Smurf Berries. But by using real-world skills of time management, figuring return on investment (for knowing which crops to plant to maximize coins for a given growing period) and delaying gratification in terms of saving coins and berries to build an inventory, you can have almost anything you want in this game without spending real money on it. Patience is the key. I love this game and will be playing it for years to come.

I love it soo much I started playing it since I was six years old now I am eleven and I stills love it I love all the Smurf’s and I am a big fan I read their books I watch their movie and I love it sooo much 😍😗🥰😙🙂☺️😘 thank you for making this awesome game. But there are some glitches like I have dance smurf in his island and sassy hut and when she kiss the smurfs will swoon but if I make dance smurf to make all the smurf to dance while making sassy to kiss so that the Smurf’s will swoon it will stop moving and walking. I think u should also add an adventure in it like example when papa Smurf’s tells their smurf to go and do something like to spy on gargamel or to get ingredients or something I think u should add story mode in it I bet people will really love you game 😍😘🥰But still I am a really big fan of smurf and I really love the game

I don’t know why Apple doesn’t feature Smurfs Village in SmurfsVillage Store… this is way more fun than many of the apps they promote.
I’m a long-time player. Almost at Level 100… and still I am loving this game. I have created this amazing world for my little Smurfs to enjoy… they have friendly neighborhoods to live in, lots of work and recreation to do, pets, entertainment such as fireworks, a beautiful park with wildlife, a beach paradise, a scary haunted area, and SO much more.
My Smurfs travel between the main village, the Island, and the Mountain, and those three areas have kept me busy for many years. I love to fit things together in ways that aren’t the intended use, to invent a new creation, such as a lookout tower I made with pathway tiles.
Smurfs Village sparks my creativity. I love the colors and the endless possibilities.
And I appreciate the frequent updates.

I love this game! It’s addicting and really fun to play! However my life is now glued to the game. If I’m trying to finish a task and I don’t have a lot of money I will spend one hour growing crops to earn money and that can get in the way of my real life tasks! I’m not saying it’s the developers fault but if you decide to download the game it’s a warning! But it’s really fun to play and if you have two hours of free time that’s when to play the game. The game does have ads but guess what? You only get a ad if you ask for ad! That is AWESOME! And the ads (and of course the game itself) is kid friendly and safe to use. But if you enter your birth date under the age of thirteen you are not allowed to watch ads. That is safety proof for children but I feel that’s to overprotective because the ads aren’t inappropriate and you use ads for rewards or to speed up something. And that’s it! No complaints this game is awesome and addictive. Please download it! Another recommendation is Stickman Hook. Thanks for reading!

This game is sweet and fun however with changes in developers, They completely lost my original game which resulted in losing a great deal of money so I no longer invest in it as much at all. Sometimes, videos for Smurfberries will not display/work properly. It can be a great game if the developers would be more generous. Smurfberries should be available through exchange of coin accumulated in the game and items for purchase should only be for special optional items at a deeply discounted rate. Smurf Wonders are far too difficult to get because they require so MUCH resources. Game Master’s Mystery Boxes are very redundant, giving too many identical items with rarely anything worthwhile. Step up developers and use your time to improve customer relations! I LIKE Smurfs Village. Help your customers LOVE the game. Many people are without jobs due to the pandemic and would rather buy groceries rather than spend $$$$ on something that is non-tangible. Thanks for continuing to improve the game.

Ive been playing this game for over 6 years and its had its bugs and I’ve had to completely restart the game from scratch after the last big loss of progress problem but customer service was great and I’m back playing regularly! After spending a lot of money and losing everything normally i would of deleted SmurfsVillage and moved on but NOT THIS GAME! This game is the ONLY game I’d restart from scratch and rebuild because there’s no other game like it out there that I’ve been able to find and I’ve tried! ONE IN A MILLION!

This game isn’t for the impatient it takes a while to get through the early stages but once you hit a certain point and open up all the different locations and get the featured smurfs that make the game what it is then its something you can play and enjoy for YEARS! The timely updates are great and new featured smurfs are added most every update along with a new wonder!

REMEMBER: PATIENCE IS KEY! ;)

I’ve been a long time avid player, who has used this game the most to get me through a lot of tough times over the years. I had unfortunately lost a good chunk of my levels, along with over 20 items that I had purchased at the start of the quarantine. Had contacted the support team in Aug. and didn’t hear back from them. Then, I contacted the support team and ended up being assigned to a staff member that was able to work with me on reaching a very satisfactory solution by the end of the year. Plus, they even hung in there with me through a few months until I was able to receive all 20 major items that I had purchased throughout all five locations in the game. So, I highly recommend this game, because the staffs are very Smurfy with doing right by their customers!!!
