Dios mío yo
No Y La
garbage meant to force in-app purchases
The ad rate is at such a ridiculous level that it occasionally crashes, and it uses so much network bandwidth and processing in loading and changing ads constantly that it uses up more power than the charge port provides and, henceforth, drains the battery while plugged in. As for “Territory Capture” … I realize that true PvP competition would be hard and that you use simulated opponents instead, but the level of cheating is just plain blatant. I manage to get control of every tile on the map except for 3 that it won’t let me purchase, have a 19 billion lead on the scoreboard, and what happens after I go to sleep? The ‘opponent’ still only has control of 1 city and 1 soot, but now I’m 17 billion BEHIND on the leaderboard. Revolting cheats!
Like the game but
The game is fun but the current level is literally impossible. I can't connect the tire factory to the rocket because there is a building between them and no warehouse
Gameplay
The normal gameplay mode will definitely give you some entertainment. However, if you are interested in the PvP aspect this game has flaws. I’ve literally wiped my opponent off the map but yet am still losing the match, the math just isn’t mathing. If this aspect of the game was corrected it would be worth while. I’m only giving 2 stars because the normal game play mode does have some entertainment value
Glitch
To many advertisements and is glitchy
Baby
Baby to not bad
Do not trust
Addictive. & when I play coincidentally spam calls and emails increase (downloaded, deleted, downloaded again weeks later). Be wary as they do share your info and you give them permission to by downloading and playing.
Second City Bug
Great game- lots of fun! There is a bug it seems with the second city in levels where it doesn’t output as much gold as it says it should. For instance, my chocolate factory says it’s outputting 1000 when it only cashes out 600 on the second city. The first city is accurate.
Will cook your battery
Kind of fun resource management and direction game. Probably would have deleted after 10 levels of it wasn’t for rewards from other games. Getting to level 60 isn’t too bad, but seems to slow down significantly after that. According to my phones battery management app this game depletes a full battery in 1.5 hours of play, and makes phone almost too hot to touch. Makes me wonder if it’s running shady stuff in the background, because this in no ways should be a heavy phone resource game.
Game okay, but ads play too long
The ads you have supporting your app run three times longer than average for other games. That is a crucial disadvantage when doing competitive play. Also, the amount of resources required to build in competitive play versus solo are off the charts ridiculous literally forcing one to watch ads to advance. For these reasons I give your game three stars.
Seems fun
Empire building game
Ads, ads, ads.
While I love the premise and I think the gameplay is fun… I just can’t give it anything above 1 star. You log in? They tell you to pay to remove ads. You buy too many properties? It’s ad time. You progress far enough for the game to force you to open up menus to see what’s new? Time for an ad break! Banner ads, unskippable ads, ads any time I open a menu or a progress window. I’ve easily made them $5-$10 in ad revenue simply by playing the game for a few hours! And don’t get me wrong, I understand the “Pay $5 to get our ad-free package!”.. But this is basically “Pay the $5 or you only get to play the game for 10 minutes out of every hour.”
Fun
Once I figured out the objective, it was fun. Wish there had been directions offered or available.
Aggressive forced ads
There’s not much to the game, it’s kind of a zen no skill needed experience. Pleasant enough but ruined by continuous, aggressive forced ads and relentless monetization that also break your game progress. Forced ads will play even if you’ve just watched a bunch of rewarded ads. The ads themselves can be over 2 minutes, with multiple interactions required to hunt for tiny buttons hidden in the corners, followed by another 45s wait followed by another tiny button hunt etc. Truly a terrible experience on what could be a decent chill type game otherwise.
Track number of levels
Unlike most games I’ve played like this for some reason I find than more addicting than others. The thing I don’t like is you don’t have a level tracker. You show the worlds when you go in the rocket but technically each world is multiple levels. Why not show a number count to show your progress
Progreso
Entretenido, crecimiento constructivo, ayuda destrezas cognitivas. Lo recomendado para mejorar el enfoque y la atención en tareas. 👍
Broken app
App is glitching will not let you get passed 1 level.
Territory capture
Been playing this game for years, but the territory grab it is impossible to get all the rewards. I even dominated the whole map and watch ads for currency, but still do not get all the rewards it makes a person not to participate in the weekend awards gotta make the rewards achievable. We are raising all this money for you by watching the ads.
Ads machine
Sad to be deleting this. I like the gameplay. But the only way to win multiplayer events is to be CONSTANTLY watching ads rather than just playing the game.
Nice game
Nice game but not worth to participate in competition as it seems you fight against fake players, and it forces you to watch a lot of ads, or buy a lot ……..
Relaxing game
This game is so fun and relaxing and so fun and I love to unlock new areas
Support is a Joke
Have put in multiple support tickets to tell them what is wrong with the app. They didn’t do anything and just told me to wait. Been waiting for over 6 weeks for a fix. Still nothing. Don’t waste your time.
New Update Fixed the Game
I have to start this review by thanking the developers for listening to recent reviews and changing the game for the better. The land prices have been rebalanced to be a lot more fair to the player. The upgrade and region unlock prices are still a little too expensive, but I can truly see the effort from the devs to appeal to those who had expressed their grievances. I had to put the game down for about a month while they worked out the kinks, but I am now back to the grind :)
Territory Capture Lies
The Territory Capture feature pretends to have an opponent that you compete with for land and economic growth, but it’s just an automated algorithm that grows your opponent’s money no matter what actually happens. I cut off all of my opponent’s income and resources and their money kept increasing. They had $0 in actual earnings to their city, yet they were gaining money as quickly as I was. The whole thing is a lie. 2 stars.
Awesome game
This is by far my new favorite game to play. The only thing I paid for was the no ads. But as long as you build a good strategy. It is a very fun game. Each level is a little slow to start. But like I said a good strategy and you will start enjoying the game. I would like to be able to go back to old maps and finish stuff I might not have done like upgrades or research. As they were done and should have more then enough to finish them. I do like in the higher levels how you might have to change some storage routes once more gets unlocked. Also I would like to see more transportations between the districts. I think ot would add something to the game. Or even shipping from one map to another. In the higher levels the research isn’t even needed. Either being the price down for them or increase selling price of items. On my last two maps. I don’t even need all the research to complete. But overall it is totally my fav game to play. Relaxing and enjoyable. Have to add to this. Please fix the upgrades. When a building is making 200 per item and a 200% product bonus is received. The item only makes 328. That’s not 200% Been playing for a long time and now that I’m up in higher map locations. Please fix the selling prices. Items are not selling at the price their location shows.
Fun game!
I enjoy building games and I have found this is quite fun. I had played it in the past and stopped when another game caught my attention. I recently restarted this game and I love the addition of the train. I hope they keep adding to it. There is much that could be done such as different cities of the same level ordering specific goods from other cities. They train could be used greatly in that capacity.
Ads every 15 seconds, Rewards stopped
I got this app through Test’em all. While the overflow of adds totally devalue this app, I had made it through many levels. Unfortunately, I stopped receiving the promise rewards through test’em all despite completing levels 33 and 52. This happens so frequently with Test’em all; developers they partner with, like this game, have to be aware and complice of this dishonesty.
Repetitive
This game is initially fun, but after 15-20 levels, there are no new features, just repetitive engine building. The volume of ads is a bit high. I would recommend this game for a busy travel week, but do not expect to spend long on it before you get bored
Last Jan ‘26 update
A bit of a cash grab still, more so with most recent update and new HUB With market, academy, elixir vending. They removed a way to get free gold cards completely. I’ve stopped playing daily 😑
Game problems
Game tents to lag after getting far. I thought if I uninstalled and reinstalled it would help fix the problem but I just lost all my progress from lvl 33 and had to start over again lvl 1. Can’t find a way to get my save back , but I’m hopeful an update can fix this game
So fun with five stars
If you don’t know a game, I get bored a lot even though when I get new games, but this game is kind of just like make me feel like I can buy lots of stuff not in real life. I’m joking. I’m joking. I’m joking but like in the game like it’s so funny it doesn’t really get boring to me there. I’ve not have an added an ad yet so that’s pretty good and I love how this game doesn’t get boring uh-oh I just had an ad only one ad though. It is it’s a real good one. There are like barely any ants, but there’s like only one per game. I don’t know how many so play the game now.
Excellent game ruined by “optional“ ads
The game is enjoyable, however it is ruined by the fact that you have to spend about half your gameplay time watching “optional“ ads. While you can play it without the “optional“ ads, the gameplay will be slowed by about 95% making it utterly tedious and ultimately unplayable. So your choice is to spend half your gameplay time watching ads or be stuck on the same level for five days.
Good game but issue with current event game not working
Losing interest now that event just freezes 🥲
Update made the game unplayable
Ever since this new update, I get on and each upgrade for the FIRST building(wheat instead of bread etc) costs 1 million, each square costs 1.5 million. Whatever this newest update did made each upgrade and tile cost way too much. You have to play each world nearly 15 hours to move on now instead of 1-2
WAS Great Game...Not Anymore
This game used to be my favorite, but the May 2026 update with Advisors ruined it. Adding the advisor stuff adds some interesting factors but the adjustments make it so much harder to get things done. It is agrivating and takes so much longer to progress, I'm done with it.
The new update fixed my problem!!
A week or 2 ago I left a review saying I loved this game but recently something happened and all the tiles cost way too much!! But after I left the review a couple days later the developers responded (which i know is probably autogenerated, but still) I went back and the tiles prices were super reasonable again and the game was progressing way faster and the way it used too!! Thank you so much for fixing this issue!! 5/5 stars!! Love this game
Nothing special
Like the 7th best ad machine game on the App Store. Even going “ad free” up front it still just bombards you with pop ups for more packs and “optional ads” to speed things up. Just get Builderment, much better logistics game. Would not recommend.
Last update bug?
Was halfway through a level when the game updated and all of a sudden the hexes cost so much to unlock - like 10 million per tile and i still have lots more tiles to go. Don’t know if it’s a bug or not but it went from maybe 40k to unlock a tile to that. Has made the game very frustrating to play
Pricing
Loved the game until y’all made it to clear land so pricey. Was thousands and went to millions. So now it takes for ever to clear areas
Loved this game until last update
Hi devs, what have you done to this amazing game in the last update? The cost of each hexagon jumps so much. Currently I am on level 83 (Ontario) and in region 3 where the production is sushi. I have 30 hexagons open and the next one will cost 18k. For context, the sushi sells for 355. The upgrades seem to have gone up 100x and the trade upgrades - 10, 20, 30%, etc are nothing or the sort of I had a 50% trade upgrade which worked out to be under 10%, and said upgrade cost 500k and for something that doesn’t return much. The game is no longer fun
Drone training
Commie propaganda
Devs got greedy Update ruined the game
The game used to be a fun thing to pass the time but this last update where an ad plays every time you click on something is just ridiculous. This seems to be the way that the app industry is going create a game that people like get people hooked the update and force ads every 20 seconds. Don’t waste your time! AND WHY THE HELL ARE WE SEEING 2 MINUTE LONG ADS EVERY20-30 SECONDS?!? 10-15 seconds is plenty
Is a good game
Is a good game but there is a bug in the tutorial. You can open new hexagons freely but if you do so quickly whilst it is showing you to connect to new hexagon that is required for the tutorial to end forced actions, you may get stuck and have to delete the app and start again. There was no way to sell wood but I’d spent the coins so couldn’t purchase forced hexagons
No longer as good
I’m on level 417. I like the game, however since the latest upgrade the costs of buying squares is unreasonable. The new features do not offset the “ rebalancing”. It is now too tedious to play. I look forward to the next update when you fix the problems you created with this update
Great Game - Some small issues
Updated review: The new update has bugged the game. I can’t do the last upgrade on a level for full rewards as the button doesn’t appear. Please fix this! I really enjoy this game, but there are some minor issues. Sometimes storage will start building up and there are no alternative paths to keep the production flow as efficient as possible. Not sure if this is intentional, but it seems like a design flaw.
.
Fun
Good game but bonus section feels rigged
Overall, a great game ,but something is amiss with the Lost Treasures. I am currently on level 350, and after all this time my selection of 1 of the 2 last items gave me 14 correct prizes(the one I wanted) !?! In the real world this is a 50/50 chance , 50% chance. My yield is at 4%. Sorry, I have a better chance at the arcade! Final update : just finished level 360, and as expected, in 10 levels, the best so called prize was NEVER selected. Updated July 3 2026 I restarted game, and am at level 89. So far have not selected the highest item in any of the tries. Definitely a rigged section, like those at a carnival. Game is fun, but do not care for the impossible odds in getting rewards.
Fun
It was fun
Territory Capture is fake?
I love the premise of this game. However, when you play the Territory Capture part of this game, it does not make sense. The purpose of territory capture is to take as many areas as you can and also make money with the operational pieces. However, my opponents in territory capture appear to be bots, the score does not come close to adding up and the territories they capture doesn’t make sense. The developers need to do better, but I guess I am happy just playing the base portion of the game.
Internal ads are ads
I paid to have no ads, but they still push their product with pop ups which have a delay, so I have to wait to close them. Sure, there are no external ads with took a minute, these are only 5 seconds, but if I play for 10 minutes, I still have to wait for a dozen of their product pop ups despite having paid for no ads. Yes, 10% of my play time is still gone in ads. I had sent this to their support and they never replied. Also, the game is very repetitive, there is not much replay-ability.
