Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Tobias Fischer / Director | Oct 18, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

Fifth Shield was brought in to develop and audit smart contracts for a tokenized loyalty program. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The project took roughly 5 months from kickoff to launch.

Solid Game Development Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Sophie Shaw / Owner | Sep 11, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly.

I would recommend Fifth Shield to anyone looking for a dependable Game Development partner.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Thijs Jansen / Product Manager | Feb 21, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.
