Fun history game

I'm sure this game is aimed at kids to help them learn history. Which is something it seems nowadays they don't care about. Although adults like myself can still enjoy it.Overall fun game without asking for IAP after the initial purchase price which I love.
The Same Problems As The Last Game

I love history. I literally only bought this for the Roman Empire part so I could maybe learn something new. I hope this isn't aimed for kids because if I was little like 10 or under I probably would hate it because of how frustrating it can be. Good graphics and sounds but look at the glitches. Such as when you're running and sometimes the person won't jump or it'll run into something after you go in the little blue bubble. Anyways, fix the glitches and it would be a perfect game. Also, since this was promoted through the HISTORY channel you should put more HISTORY in it. As a 15 year old girl in high school who has only gone through 2 AP History courses I can honestly tell you I didn't learn a new thing in that game which was kind of disappointing. You can judge for yourself if you want to buy it or not.
Can't stop playing!

don't waste your money

I hate this game because it is too difficult. The responsiveness and control of character are terrible. Even when you press to jump you die and start all over. There are no additional lives and no way to regenerate. you can't really get better at it because even if you are playing correctly you still die. I never pay for apps but I took a chance and bought this for $2.99 because it was advertised in history channel as being "educational" and meant for kids. It's not at all. It's actually stupid. Run and try to jump over stuff and die. Repeat. Not fun or educational. It doesn't give you enough success to want to keep playing. The concept is good so it could be a fun game if a lot of improvements were made. Very disappointing!
Don't Play this Game!

Don't play this game! It's a waste of money and is too difficult.It's not even addicting, unless you count how addicting it is to scream at your device! Waste of time, and more importantly, money.
good game

nice art and graphics, good controls and addictive arcade gameplay. not very hard but challenging, so interesting game.
Repetitive game

The game becomes boring very quickly because of its limited features. It becomes very repetitive.
Fun & Educational but Repetitive
QuirkyCarter
It's one of those games that is easy to jump right into. The graphics are pleasing and I like the tidbits of information after each completed chapter. However, the entire game is essentially just three very limited play modes repeated for each chapter. I expect kids will enjoy it at first but quickly become bored. Still, it's worth a try because of the educational aspect and because it isn't full of in app purchases. As a sidenote, I really wish developers would create separate controls for music and sound effects. Most of the time, I do not want to listen to the music within an app. However, I usually want to hear the sounds – they don't typically clash with whatever music I am listening to and, when done well, really add to the overall experience.
