Excellent
Super Fun game. Gotta have money if you want to expand your city collection.
What’s up
Game was great then just gets stuck loading something within it - frustrating is an understatement !
It’s good
The game is nice to play however, it cost you way too much money to advance and keep up with having enough room in the warehouse and then having to pay to activate all the extra rewards lately they came is also glitching and keeps taking me back to one part of the game and then when you try and do some of the task, it keeps giving an error that it does not match
Fantastic game
There isn’t a better free city builder available, the way it looks plays is better than any game like it I’ve played.
Ya no me gusta ese juego
Me gustaba pero ya no , te ponen a ver videos para darte 6 dolares del juego y solo es una pérdida de tiempo, solo por eso lo califico como no bueno solo por hacer a uno perder el tiempo, en cualquier momento lo elimino
Game not loading on my iPad
I have the game downloaded on my iPhone 16 and IPad 3 days ago still working fine on IPhone but not loading on my IPad ….. the game and iPad software updated up to date still the same problem
Way too many ads
Way too many ads & pop-ups
Fun for a while
I loved it for the first 65 levels, then it gets impossible to keep going without spending lots of money.
Ok
Ok
Still crashing
I message the support team several times a day. Never hear anything back. The only thing you can guarantee about this game is that it will crash.
Good! But…
I really love the game and its managerial realism of running a city! However, there are so many “competitions” or “games” happening that, 1) it’s difficult keep up with, 2) the time allotted is too quick for what you are able to build and the materials you need to get, and 3) there are 4-10 happening all at the same time and you are bomarbed with them and are therefore unable to complete any of your gameplay because of all the competition pop-ups. It’s a really good game, and I do love it, but it’s currently not appealing due to the amount of competition “races” that there are.
Игра тормозит
При последних обновлениях сильно стал греться телефон игра начинает зависать и вылетать,,,
Frozed
Frozed when I first time on and try to restart it and it keeps freezing on me
Great game
Great game!
Issues
Not working fine today
Good Game
I love games like this and overall it’s good but there is still room for improvement. My main two issues at the moment are, too many projects and events at the same time. It feels to over whelming and sometimes it makes me leave the game which I don’t want to do. My other issue is that every time I login to the I have to check to see if my apple account say connected but it doesn’t and I have to keep connecting it. If you can fix these then it be great.
Not Worth It
This game has potential but takes far too long to build anything. It is costly, slow moving, predictable and boring. Deleting it.
Improvement is needed
There need to be better game play such as being able to rotate the city so you can get a look at where buildings are and know where your fire station and healthcare are located without having to try and hunt them down in the hide building mode. System of how they evaluate how many of each token or you need to complete. In the game should be reevaluated, it takes way too many elements to complete one task. Amount of pieces you need to upgrade your storage is not feasible for only five more spaces. Also once you get your storage to the mat and you go over it is. To get back under without selling everything that you may need. The only reason I am still playing is for the daily bonuses.
Very happy
I like it
IOS_no_transaction error
In-app purchases are currently broken. I have been charged multiple times and received nothing. The app shows a verification error (“IOS_no_transaction”) and this is happening across multiple apps from the same developer. Support links in the app do not work. Do NOT spend money here until this is fixed.
Hyper
C’est un jeu formidable
Jim
I enjoy the game but just now I have recently purchased the Shanghai skyscrapers for 4.99 as soon as I have purchased it the timer went down to 7 days only to complete the event rather than 14 days. So I will not have enough time for me to complete the whole challenge. If I knew the timer goes down after purchased I would not have done so. Is there anything you could do to make the timer back to the full length (14days) for me please developer? Thx
Much Promise but Too Greedy
Enjoy the graphics, the variety of things to do, the different special events, it was my go to game. Then I realized that my warehouse constantly got full and even spending $49 didn’t buy me enough space for a reasonable amount of time. So, yes, I can still do things and have fun, but at a much slower pace. More irritating is that I can’t improve buildings because I refuse to have police in my town and fire stations and health care facilities are also overpriced and quickly not enough. So, congrats on the realism, but I’m playing the game to get away from all that. I lost two days of enjoyment because I wouldn’t choose to take gas or military tokens and wasn’t allowed to get out of that choice. I had to use globalbucks to reestablish my daily log ins, even though I had gone into the game each day. A five star concept that is flaming out.
Love it!
Excellent game! It makes you strategize
This game is bull ****
1 billion ads and there’s so many pop-ups that tell me to buy stuff don’t get this game. It’s a piece of ****.
Great Game
The game is fine but far too many special deals and stuff to make you spend money. Less of the deals would make the game more enjoyable.
Bad game.
Got this game off an ad. Was enticing as I enjoy city based games. Played through for a few weeks, even downloaded another game to earn extra money. I am now deleting this game, as it takes far too long to get anything done. Boosts and money are given to you very rarely in small incriments, and coins take awhile to work for. Game has potential, if it wasn’t so focused on holding you behind pay walls. The amount of ads for their paid “events” is crazy too. Never seen a game with like 10+ active events asking for $50 for each for the top tier packages.
Room for improvement
I would have rated this higher but there some things that let it down. Main one is for the last 3 months or so the game keeps crashing, my phone is up to date but i’ll be playing it for 5 mins and then crashes out and i have to restart my progress. The projects in the city are also getting severely prolonged, feels like you will never finish them, even if you buy more cash, you’d genuinely need to spend thousands to still complete it. Same goes for expanding the land, a severe lack of geodetic drones and investigations results are rewards from the game compared to the other ones which spawn so many more times. The pop ups have also increased, what used to be one or two can sometimes be 8! Do like the game but don’t love it like i used to.
Game
It’s awesome
don’t waste your money
All about buying game parts
Nice game
Addicted. Fair game, items are not only money based. You can get without spending from your pocket. not looking for money like other games. Appreciate
Too many popups
Please, I am begging you game developers, stop forcing me to click events that I am not interested in. You guys bring alot of meaningless events that load up your inventory with worthless cards and then the event ends in 24 hours.. I have deleted the game specifically because of this, I felt bombarded with unnecessary pressure to play the events and I do not need a game that forces you to play their events, it’s my choice if I want to or not
WAS an amazing game!
It’s a great game but all my city space is full, no options to put buildings etc back in the archive so you either have to bulldoze or just keep them. Expanding the city limits is incredibly slow after the first few as you now need 45 items to expand the city by one tiny square and while you end up with masses of some others are rarer than hens teeth! Same issue with storage expansion items and I’m sort of stuck in the game now as I have no storage for game items and the items I need for expansion etc cost too much in global bucks to buy. Everyone is presumably in the same boat as the items just don’t sell in the exchange! I don’t mind spending £5 here and there for the vip pass on one of the challenges but I’m not spending £49 a week to be a VIP who would??? I’m not spending real world cash on global bucks to buy expansion items either. They need to add an option to build storage / city expansion items I’d rather collect items to build those and wait for them to build than dick around hoping they will be in a reward crate somewhere.
Good game
Love it
They want your money and ton of publicity…
Very disappointed with this game. There's no way to progress in the game if you don't spend money. After playing this game for over a year, I'm going to move on to something else. There's no way to expand your territory. The amount of money required to expand a territory is completely excessive; you have to spend money in the game to do so. Same thing with the warehouse. Besides, as soon as you make room in the warehouse, the designers have built algorithms that ensure it's refilled by giving you bonuses that fill your warehouse. As a result, you never have enough space to progress in the game unless you invest money. There are already ads like that, which are unattractive; they always want our money... I'd have to invest lots of dollars to continue progressing with the game. And yet, it could be such a fun game! After playing the game for a long time, I can afford to make a criticism. It's not because I didn't give the game a chance, but this is a bit of an exaggeration. Hey, developers, offer the option to donate instead, or sell your game for $40 or $50 and stop trying to hypocritically take our money!
Re view
Not a bad game but getting boring and haven’t played that long on it. Same thing and always have to either pay or wait to play
Could be better - too many pop ups
This could be a decent game but with all the unnecessary pop ups it’s pretty much unplayable Disappointing
A fun game but too many pop-ups
This game is fun and does what it says on the tin. However, it has A LOT of pop-ups, especially if you don’t play regularly. I usually have to sit through at least a few minutes of them as there are way too many events and building projects released, which makes me not want to play as it’s quite overwhelming.
Love it
I love the game
Halil
This is literally a real time wasting game it is not an ongoing game were you can enjoy everything is done manually.
Idea
Can you extend the skyscraper events because I never get to finish the building
Nothing like advert
Another build a city game but nothing like they advertise. Rubbish
So hard to log in
It’s a great game, no need to spend any money to improve, but WHY is it so hard to log in to the game! I get stuck on the loading screen EVERYTIME! Sort it out please
Awesome game
This game is awesome for strategic thinkers. We need more smaller commercial buildings such as coffee shops, restaurants, etc.
Screen clutter. wow!!
Can’t even play the game 100 different pop up screens for you to buy all these packs $89.99 for one of them…. Sorry but your game is no AAA game give me a real purchase price to unlock the features and not this money grab micro transaction hell and id be willing to go support you but as it stands now its a hard pass game for me and my family.
Good game but……….
It would a a really good game and addictive however, the events where you build a new building take forever and I never complete the build by the time it’s up. The amount of plans/ coins you need at time is a ridiculous amount. Example for a train station I need 500 for one part and 500 for another part just to complete a section of it and then you do that 3 times. Also, the dig site has a lot to do which is okay in its self but again the amount of plans need is is ridiculously high for each section. If they were smaller amounts of plans then a lot more building would be completed. The only way to is spend cash something and won’t do.
Could be a good game
I really enjoyed playing this game in the beginning but it’s almost impossible to increase storage or expand the territories so you can build, without paying money. My warehouse is always at capacity so I can’t make items in order to increase my warehouse. I also can’t increase my territories because you’re rarely given the tools needed. Therefore I can’t build any new buildings. It’s so frustrating. I’m probably going to delete the game because I don’t want to spend $7/week in order to actually play the game.
Could be a good game
This game had potential but unfortunately when devs get greedy by making you pay for automated machines every 7 days it loses all it’s charm, so ether you pay up or you micro manage every aspect of the game instead of concentrating on building the city.
