1. [R31] 4/5 · US Good game: This is a pretty good game if your patient. Lots of cool science stuff and very satisfying to watch your planet transform.
2. [R38] 5/5 · US Awesome game!: You terraform a planet. It’s awesome once you play! So realistic too, and very challenging and fun. Not so many bugs, I haven’t even seen any the whole time I played. I am just shocked and awe at this awesome game. Make sure to follow TerraGenesis on Facebook and instagram.
3. [R46] 5/5 · US This game is great! Very realistic but there are ads: This game is about terraforming planets and growing them you can even create a new species! I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in strategic games and building civilization
4. [R52] 4/5 · GB Good but couple suggestions: I have been playing this game for several months and I love it. It has brilliant graphics, though they can be a bit clunky in mass sea level/lava increases or decreases. And I like the idea of the 5 factions. However, I have a couple suggestions, that if taken on board, might push my rating up to 5. 1) The special rush-terraforming events. They pop up occasionally an
5. [R13] 5/5 · US Addicting if you like slower pace/chill: I love sitting back and playing this just because the music is so calming lol, great distraction from a busy world
6. [R15] 5/5 · US TerraGenesis: I’ve played this game for over 5 years, over multiple accounts, it’s so relaxing, will always recommend it.
7. [R30] 5/5 · US This game helped me during my huge boredom phase: I recently downloaded this game and I never expected it to be that good. During my boredom phase, I downloaded 5 games including this game. Helped me out a lot
8. [R62] 5/5 · GB Good: Good game, just I have terrible patience and can’t be bothered to wait until I can do something. But good game.
9. [R24] 5/5 · US Is a great game: It’s free to play, with optional ads. You can buy expansions. But it’s not required to enjoy this game. I have ideas for it but it’s not my game, like I do wish there was an option after winning to start a new world using since people from a previous world, like a “continuation” but still, a really good game.
10. [R65] 5/5 · GB TerraGenesis!: This game is one of my all time favourites, it really is. Yes, it takes AGES for me to terraform a planet, but finishing it and looking at a lush, green and blue world is immediately worth it. No adds unless you press a button that is way up on the top of the screen, and even then you can turn back. It’s the sort of game where you log in, check everything is alright (Oh no, my press
11. [R78] 5/5 · GB Very Very good: I really recommend this game a ton because it’s so much fun to play and it’s not pay to win in my opinion and it also doesn’t give me too many ads and graphics look really good and it’s just a very fun to play if I’m bored and it doesn’t need Internet and that’s even better so I can play like whatever I want but yea 5 stars
12. [R21] 5/5 · US It keeps on kicking me out: I used to love this game but then one day I logged in and it just kicked me out over and over again and I figured out that for some reason when I had Wi-Fi enabled it didn’t work. Then when I turned off Wi-Fi it worked but there were so many features that I could not do. Then I started troubleshooting and tried to delete and reinstall the game with a cloud save. But it
13. [R23] 1/5 · US I can’t go into the game: Every time when I enter the game it keeps crashing on the iPad mini 4 please fix this or ask Apple to fix it
14. [R34] 1/5 · US I hate this: This videogame does not work on my phone and crashes not to mention it's stealing data
15. [R39] 3/5 · US Game doesn’t work anymore: Been playing for a couple months now and loved it. But once you get so far it stops working. Reached out to devs and have heard nothing back.
16. [R4] 1/5 · US Was good, until the ads: Was a good game. Then the ads come as “transmissions”. 1 every 10 seconds, literally. Only way to stop? A $5.99 PER WEEK CHARGE. Absolute BS. Extortionist and ruins the game completely.
17. [R19] 1/5 · US Incoming Transmissions: Probably the most irritating game imaginable. Long wait times and the constant ask for you to watch an AD EVERY 10-15 SECONDS. It ruined it for me. Deleted after 10 minutes. Also a pay to win game. Half stars need to make a comeback. Had to give it one but it deserves less. Thanks to the devs for trying
18. [R42] 3/5 · US More ads than gameplay: Like the title says, you’ll be experiencing more ads than you’ll actually do playing the game. It’s about 90 seconds of ads for every 30-45 seconds gameplay. And that goes for the other TerraGenesis game - Landfall
19. [R53] 1/5 · GB Frustrating pop ups: I wanted to try this game again. I originally got it many years ago when it first came out and enjoyed it a lot. I was excited to see all the change but that excitement quickly became disappointment as the additions mostly seemed to be ways of squeezing money out of us. I would be ok with it if it weren’t for the constant “incoming transmissions” that I could not stop. What
20. [R1] 1/5 · US Paid for no ads, I still get ads: I pad for no ads, and I keep getting ads, I uninstalled ended subscription and tried again, now I’m charged twice for ads and still get ads. This app is a rip off scam
21. [R2] 1/5 · US Not like the old gameplay at all: Update now I can’t restore purchases???? I haven’t played the game for a while after getting a new phone. Nothing was saved. Wow, this is even more disappointing than before! Old review: This game is not what it used to be before they started making GP a money grab. No more interplanetary GP transfers. If you want more GP for your world either you buy it or watch
22. [R6] 1/5 · US Please fix the in app purchases: I love this game and have been playing it for years but now the in app purchases dont work. I know you’ve abandoned the game but you can still make money off it. Please please fix it.
23. [R11] 1/5 · US Riddled with bugs, unplayable: I purchased the VIP Pack so that boosts could be claimed without watching videos. The subscription doesn’t seem to do anything and without it, the game is literally just ads. Ingame and email support requests have both been ignored.
24. [R8] 5/5 · US This game has been abandoned: There have not been any updates to the game since 2023 do not put money into this game do not put to much effort in to this game. Avoid paying for monthly subscription packs. Play at your own risk. The app and all of its funn features have been abandoned they don’t plant trees or contribute to the real world effects the is no customer service. They have I repeat again
25. [R20] 1/5 · US Lost my purchases and no responses: I bought 2 of the world packs, I unloaded the game for a little while and when I signed back in they have to be rebought. I’ve contacted support multiple times with zero responses.
26. [R33] 2/5 · US Was able to restore my save.: I was able to restore my save… it was backed up through Facebook, which I haven’t used in years, so I was not remembering that. But there’s still an issue… that this even happened in the first place. To reiterate, THE - GAME - REFUSED - TO - LAUNCH. AND DIONE WAS ABOUT TO FLOOD. That kind of thing simply should NOT HAPPEN. PERIOD. END OF. FIN. THAT’S ALL FOLKS. AND T
27. [R66] 3/5 · GB Has potential: Has all the markers of a great game, could be really good, however just come back into game to find all my progress had been wiped and was back to the beginning.
28. [R9] 1/5 · US Terrible: Sorrry but this game is way, way to confusing 🫤 especially at the start please fix this
29. [R71] 1/5 · GB Even I can’t even make Mars have habitable: I couldn’t even get past Mars
30. [R80] 3/5 · GB TerraGenesis… Your kidding: I played this game for a few days but I do not get, AT ALL why my money is going down, I mean, yeah it’s a cool game but BRUH, can I play a game and not lose money?
31. [R110] 3/5 · GB It’s been fun: So I downloaded this game because of Star Wars, all those colonies of planets. I made some interesting discoveries, such as you need almost 100 million credits to unlock all the research. 600 million to build all of the facilities. So you first need to build mines to collect Carbon and earn. You can research other mining types when you have the money. You then have to build a city b
32. [R14] 1/5 · US Ad free is monthly: The only option to remove ads is a monthly subscription, which is ridiculous. I don’t mind paying a bit to remove ads once i figure out if the game is worth it. But not on a recurring basis.
33. [R3] 4/5 · US Increase number of research labs: A very good game all round but the number of research labs need to be increased and also allow upgrade of research labs and ability to build more labs
34. [R7] 5/5 · US So Fascinating!: This game is so fascinating! I love the population, and I love how the creators made it! I also love the “Incoming Transmissions” with credits and GP!
35. [R12] 4/5 · US Good game: I legitimately love this game, but there are a few issues I have with it. It would be nice for there to be more interactions between the parameters, and Soletta appears to be slightly inconsistent. Other than that, the game is really interesting and fun, and I really enjoy the biosphere mode. Also, the way ads are handled is very well done, and I appreciate it
36. [R41] 1/5 · US too many bugs and crashes: I really love this game and often come back to it but lately it crashes every minute and it's almost impossible to use
37. [R49] 1/5 · US Constant Crashing: I’ve played this game for years until recently. Now I literally cannot open it before it immediately crashes. I’ve tried restarting my phone, updating the app, even deleting and redownloading it. Nothing works. After money and time invested, this game is now quite literally unplayable.
38. [R5] 5/5 · US great game but low matince: I used to play this without knowing it died its a great game but its last update was last year in 2023, which scraed my and made me leave the game, untl 2025, when i just randomlly checked teh app, then tehr eit was, a new update, so there may be peirods where tehre is no updates, but really good
