Ads no sound

I would have given this 5 stars BUT every time I play an ad sometimes SOMETIMES there's this particular ad that would play no sound and when getting the reward after the ad plays, the game itself would not have sound either. This is very VERY annoying!! To the devs: "Please fix this issue!!" Other than that I enjoy playing this game very much and I'm also enjoying your other games. I'll be trying out your newest game as well. I've invested a few bucks for removing the ad banner and forced ads. Just wish you guys (the devs) would make it so that the paid players don't have to keep watching the ads. What's the point of paying for removing ads when I have to watch them anyways for extra rewards?? Other games I've invested my money don't do that. Maybe in the future, you (the developers aka devs) would allow your paid players to not have to watch ads for extra rewards??? It would be soooo nice if you would consider my idea... I'm sure other players would enjoy the game more as well).

Watch Ads Instead of Playing the Game

I downloaded this game a few days ago. It looked fun on the App Store, had good reviews, and didn’t seem to be too “pay-to-win”. I started playing and loved it, the graphics are great, animations are very smooth and appealing, and the story line is simple but what you want from a mobile idle/exploration game. The game started off with a fairly normal amount of ads. Some of these ads are forced ads (where you are shown the ads without choosing to watch them) while others are incentivized (I.e. you get 10 iron for watching an ad). Lots of games use this and I typically avoid games with primarily forced ads. I’m not against ads as I knew developers have to make their money back and time spent etc. but the amount of forced ads in this game is appalling. What starts off as an ad every 10 minutes when you first start playing turns into an ad every 2 minutes or less. It’s impossible to play this game. I’m not sure what you need to do to fix this but I had to have given over $100 in ad revenue to this dev team in just my few days of playing. Good luck to anyone who gets this game… Oh and forgot to mention you can get rid of the ads for a small fee of $9! Not worth your time or money.

Good but - can’t finish without paying?

I like this game a lot. More than I thought I would actually. I am to the point in the game where I need an item for my horse to take it over the bridge. That item is in an Expedition, and nothing I do will allow me to get my CP high enough to do that expedition. I’ve invested 3 days of idle loot gathering, and doing prior missions for chests, etc, and I am still short. I don’t mind paying for games, and I don’t even mind in-app purchases to smooth things along. I do not like it when I should be able to complete the game watching ads and using time to my advantage, but can’t. I’m sure that the answer is that I can either spend N more days farming loot, or spend $6 to move ahead, my choice, but it’s challenging to have the time scale be a certain duration for most of the game and then here toward what I assume is close to the end it increases so dramatically.

Nice start but too short

This has an interesting story but it is really hard to stay interested when the game is too short and every level at end game looks exactly the same. You can only play the alien mines levels once each and then it’s back to the same old boring one level that you pay over and over to accumulate more and better gear. Over and over and over and over. At least with their other game which was ac zombie surreal one, you could go backwards to old levels (because some hard higher concentrations of certain things) and they added some boss levels that you could tune the difficulty on (and were also worth doing on repeat) not this one though. I regret purchasing the stronger weapon upgrade . I’m at the end of the game. There’s nothing fun to do. There’s no reason to keep collecting items because you can’t use them and you can’t sell them. I am legitimately bored of this game.

It’s fun but…

The game is fun to play, the requiring you to get to a certain power to do new stages is kind of annoying. Especially when you have to work for a few days to get the items to upgrade enough of your gear. I ended up getting all the way to the part where you’re traveling to the saloon, but cannot progress as that area is not available yet. I currently cannot do anything except run old stages for gear to upgrade my gear, but there is no point until the saloon opens. And at this point, I’ll have enough power and gear to be able to breeze through it if I continue to upgrade. So I will end up in the same position I am in right now where I’m Waiting for another area to release.

Almost playable

This game has potential. It’s not much different from most other resource collection games… break stuff, get resources, upgrade weapon, repeat. The initial opening suggests a base level story line but so far, I haven’t seen that actually play out. There’s no real direction in why you start in jail, what’s happening when you escape, why you’re trashing this town to get resources… it just seems lazy. Add that to the constant ads every 2 minutes (granted for like $6 you can disable them) and the waiting for upgrade timers to complete and this game is “almost” playable. If you download it just… keep expectations low. If you don’t have time to sit through about 10 ads just to upgrade equipment (in less than 2 hours irl) not really even worth a download.

Good game but wrecked by Ads

It is a fun game but you have to watch ads for everything, IF, you hope to do anything outside of waiting endlessly. Example, you can pay for no “ forced ads”. Great. But if you upgrade you harvesting tool, eventually you needs nails. To make 20 nails you need to wait 20 mins, or watch an Ad to speed it up. Once you get the nails, you go to upgrade your harvesting tool, or the rail cart or the whatever, you need to wait again for that timer. It very quickly becomes 20 mins plus just for the nails, rail cart, harvest tool and etc. So what do you do? Wait or, yep you guessed it, watch one or more ads. Why? Because if your wait time is longer then 20 mins then you need to watch 2 ads or else sit and wait. And this is if you pay to get rid of the random, “ mandatory ads”. Seriously, who wants to play a game just to be told every 5 mins that you have to wait in order to progress in the game. So your options are to wait constantly to do anything or watch ads back to back to speed things up. So good game, horrible design and execution. I eventually had to delete it and rank it just above a dumpster fire for entertainment value.

Takes a very long time to advance

I played this game for a couple of weeks. The game play is repetitive and boring. Even when you advance to the next level you do exactly the same thing to gain items and points. Every new level is the same as the previous one. It takes a very long time to get “CP” points to play the next level. The game wants you to pay for the items to move to the next level and if you don’t play the money it would take you several hours of gameplay to get enough items to advance. If each level had different game events it might be more interesting but after two weeks it wasn’t worth my time.
