True Classic, great game
     
by Kilian haines · July 13, 2020

This game is a true classic. It’s detailed and such a time killer. If you are iffy about the graphics, then what you see is not what you will get. This is an amazing game, and even better is the (third) Rebuild. The graphics here could use a little work, but that is what the third one is for. Anyway, I can’t allow myself to give this 4 stars because the saving system isn’t very easy. You cannot easily delete save files, so it’s just going to take up a random one if you want a new game. Unfortunately for me, it took up my main save file. I even tried to go to a test save file which had around 350 survivors in it. I tried to kill all of them (I succeeded, turn on Winter mode and let the starvation occur), but could still not rid of the file.<br/><br/>But I really do recommend this game. It’s only troubling if you have four saved files. Oh, and also, this game could use a lot more depth. Some of the events are a bit vague, but then again this was definitely changed in the third Rebuild.

Always come back to this one

I find that sometimes I can’t find a game entertaining or challenging enough to sit through. It’s monotony drives me crazy or the simply isn’t enough for my gaming palette. The games that make a lasting impact are really hard to find. For me this is one of my favorites. Just found out they have a rebuild 3! Totally gonna try that one.

Engaging and challenging!

I played this game years ago on my computer and was delighted to rediscover it recently. It’s an even better experience on mobile than on the computer in my opinion. The game is so immersive and fun and really challenges me to allocate resources properly and invest in people. Highly recommend!

Awesome game

Been a fan since they released it!

Good game and an OG player
     
by (DATAREDACTED) · February 4, 2024

I am a OG player I played the first game then played this on pc but rebuild 2 is better on mobile cause you get more things and turrets no idea the devs never added them to the game on the pc I wish rebuild 1 was on the app store.

Terrific simple strategy game.

It’s easy to learn and play, hard to prevail at the highest difficulty levels but closer to a sandbox experience in the easier settings.

Almost 10 years old and still supported by Dev
     
by Ubisububi · December 24, 2020

Picked this up YEARS ago for maybe $3, and always come back to it. Fun, challenging, well-balanced, and tons of personality. Best of all, though, the Dev has maintained it fastidiously. A bit simpler than her follow-up (Rebuild 3) but not in a bad way. I still play both.<br/><br/>Support this developer!

One of my favorite games ever
     
by Domcreator · November 2, 2018

There are very few phone/Kongergate games that I played as much as I would a PS4/PC/XBOX/SWITCH game, and the rebuild franchise is definitely one of them.
