Untapped potential

When I first opened this game, I was adamant on believing that it was another one of those grindy annoying .io games. What I was met with exceeded my expectations, and I enjoyed my first play through of the game. I will address 3 points in this review: game progression, ai, and the potential this game has. When I started, it was rather easy to grind out upgrades, and I enjoyed playing a game that actually felt like it had a tolerable grind. Right now, the ai in this game is quite lackluster in the later stages of my play through. Ai only attack each other most of the time, and it is quite easy to conquer their territory. What I would suggest to the game devs is an increase in ai difficulty, and maybe a buff in their forces. Now, onto the potential. Right now, there is only one continent, North America. I think it would be a smart idea to add more continents and countries, as one map tends to get stale after a while. If the devs feel like being lazy; then they could just give the player the option to conquer the whole United States. If the devs run out of countries, then they could move into areas in a certain state. Like I said earlier, the potential of this game is untapped, and if the devs see this review then I give them this advice. Please don’t change the progression system, make the ai a little bit more challenging for the player, and please consider expanding the map so that the player doesn’t feel bored after the first few playthroughs.

Good game

I love the game, I’m like level 1500 or smth. My only complaint is the removal of the offline hourly income, that was a big source of income. And when you get to the levels I’m at, watching a 15-30 second ad to make only up to maybe 200k ish isn’t very helpful because each level upgrade is 500k coins, so really to level up one I have to play two rounds, which this far in takes at least 3 min, times two so 6 min. Then I must watch two ads, adding 1 minute all to afford maybe one level upgrade. That isn’t worth it anymore because as my competition levels up maybe even just 5 starting units every few rounds I can’t compete with that, the hourly income was good, overtime I could afford to make large income. Right now I have just over 4b coins, but I make close to 0 income proportional to my “expenses” for upgrades. Adding this back would be very useful. I understand it supports watching ads, which of course covers the income for the game developers and stuff, but at least nerfing it so I have a chance to still win, as rounds get increasingly more difficult. Besides that 1 ad after every game is a little annoying maybe every lost game, but still that’s a lot of ads. Besides those two complaints this is probably my favorite mobile game.

Help I’ve Gone Too Far Down the Rabbit Hole

I got this game a week ago after playing an add and thought hey this could be a fun game. I wasn’t wrong - the game is a blast. While not too challenging, it’s a fun and easy strategy game. While most of the time I’d win sometimes I’d lose and it was fun to play against the computers. However, I’ve gone down the rabbit hole. I quickly realized the easiest way to get upgrades was to increase my offline earnings and then watch an add to multiply it by 4. At first no big deal because the computer increased in strength, but one day the computer maxed out. Like Megamind who destroyed MetroMan only to discover there was no more joy without the fight. I have now reached level 1000 and have become an unstoppable machine of country destroying destruction. Levels that used to pose a challenge are now beaten at ease. If the computer could continue to increase in difficulty no matter your level that would be fantastic. I want to feel the fear of a challenge again. Also if there was a difficulty setting like easy, normal, hard, chaos. That would be fantastic. Either way I’ll probably log on every now and then to continue getting ridiculous upgrades to increase my unstoppable power.

Developer, Please See Bottom.

Want new things? Watch an ad. Want to do better? Watch an ad. Want to break the game? Watch a lot of ads and play for hours. After awhile the caps mean nothing and if you don’t see the obvious way to win you will lose. This game has potential and that’s the only nice thing I can say about it. Do yourself a favor and don’t play this game. Play if all you like to do is watch 100s ads for a game that lacks in graphics, dialogue, strategy, brain cells, and finely cut spaghetti. If the developer put any thought and care into it the developer could make a decent game and make the ads completely optional. Note to the developer: If you make the game good enough then watching an ad won’t seem like a chore. Somehow you are #10 and that is great. If you make a better game you will definitely get more people interested and you will get more people watching ads instead of making them watch it for the “Gifts” that you have in the game. Don’t make it too obvious that you want us to watch an ad because every ad we watch you get a small amount of money. I get it so do yourself a huge favor and don’t make it obvious. It’s perverted.

Un-balanced ads vs. game play

Loved the game play at first, but being forced to watch an ad after every round is a bit obnoxious. I am usually playing a game like this for some mindless distraction but this game is an ad farm nothing more. You play a round you can win in 20-30 seconds then have to watch an ad that takes 45-60 seconds. You can close the game after each round and skip most of the ad but then you are faced with a worse problem. You only get the measly amount of coin they give you for winning which is no where near enough to keep up with the again horrible unbalanced AI players. They will advance in numbers and growth and start to crush you around levels 30 to 50 depending on if you watch the ads for 3x coin. In the end you can enjoy the game for about 2-4 hour tops then it becomes unplayable outside of tripling your time just watching ads which will extend that time frame. Everything above is not even mentioning the horrible ad content and methods. The ads say they are 30 seconds but in reality are more like 45-60. They also make the X button intentionally small so you inadvertently select the ad and have to do that 3-5 times before finally exiting the ad. Then the content of their ads are abhorrent. The developers should be ashamed of the content they put on here. Terrible design and execution all around on every part of this game. One more on the heaping pile of unplayable, unenjoyable, waste of time games.

More ad than app

I like the game and don’t mind the AI most of the time. It can definitely be frustrating to get drawn into a game of chicken only to be attacked by three opponents all at the same time, but that just means I need to rethink my strategy. My issue is with the sheer number of ads and the necessity of wifi to play against AI. Every time you complete a level, you can either watch an ad to get 3x the number of coins you’d normally earn from completing the level… or you can say “no thanks” and then you still end up watching an ad for absolutely no reason or benefit. This is not including the banner ads that live at the bottom of the screen while you play. This also does not include the ads that you have to watch if you want to change your player color or icons from the default. I can also obviously understand the requirement for wifi if I wanted to play against other players, but I’m entirely uninterested in this and I see no reason why the app should really need connectivity otherwise, except to show me even more ads. It’s ridiculous and if the cost to remove ads were not $9.99 I would just do that, but at this point I’ll just play a round or two until I get tired of the ads and then switch to another app that isn’t shoving so many ads at me constantly, and I’ll save my $10.

Keep up the good work!

This game is simple but addictive. I’ve lost rack of how many times I’ve made it around the world A few suggested tweaks or options: 1) perhaps a setting that allows your to dispatch something less that all your forces to another region, or at least establish a minimum remainder so that you can “hold down the fort” as you spread and conquer; 2) I seem to be maxed out at 120 starting units even though I have supposedly upgraded to 150 (I get a little gold “R” next to my unit number on starting a new territory); 3) a mode where you play country v country with various alignments possibly even on a global scale as opposed to regional.l; 4) consider having units with different strength levels (weak, avg, strong?) this could slow the game pace a little bit could ads some nuance. Thanks for making this game! It was a nice surprise find for me and I look forward to what you do next in this vein.

Not good anymore

I deleted the app today. I had reached level 455, and my beginning count was 5000, and regeneration was 200 per second. When I started, obviously, it’s a pain to get to where I am now, but after a while, the AI is absolutely obnoxious. You can start one against three, or four different players total. Even starting with 5000, all of the other three will all attack you simultaneously. you literally do not stand a chance. Most of them start between 650 and 700 each, I can’t even overtake a different state or country without being completely bombarded. At one point, the game was good, but it has gotten to the point where it is unbeatable. Not to mention every single level is followed by an ad. I would continuously shut down the app, and restart it, trying to find a different way to win. One level took me 14 tries to win. I think the algorithm goes, if you stay out of the app long enough, the next level that you were previously on, becomes simpler. The game became increasingly aggravating. After 455 levels, you can assume that I have figure it out how to beat the game. But at times, two will immediately become one against one, and all of a sudden that person has the entire map. No matter if you have 5000 to start with, 10 states at 120 each, can completely destroy you.

Fun but disappointing

I was really enjoying the game. But I was beginning to get a little fed up with all the ads keeping from just jumping into a new game right away. So I paid the $10 to get rid of ads…. but I still get ads if I lose or if I quit a game early. It’s really inconvenient and aggravating. The ads bother me so much more now that I spent REAL MONEY so that there would be no ads. Apparently I wasted that money. I would’ve continued happily with ads if I’d known that paying wouldn’t do anything. I should’ve checked the other reviews on here. But the fact that I DID pay, it’s ruining my enjoyment of the game. It’s such a shame. I really do like the game itself. And I legitimately was fine with the ads but I decided to pay for no ads so I could play more often. TLDR: The game is pretty fun and great if you’re okay with ads. Don’t pay the $10 to get rid of ads because you will be wasting the money and you will continue to get ads. I paid the money and now the game just isn’t as fun for me anymore. update: had to wait for a game update I guess, but I now have no ads after each game! still, going off of other reviews having this problem, I wouldn’t recommend paying for no ads.

Great game, for 5 minutes at a time

The game is great, simple concept, fun gameplay, decent difficulty (if you hold back on the leveling system), but the issues are the ads and the lag. I get the need for ad revenue, but the idea that a game with as simple a concept as this needs an ad after every round, which lasts about a minute, a banner ad at all times, and reward bonus ads at every turn is a bit much. And before the devs comment and say there is the option to buy ad free, $10 is a steep price maybe it would be worth $3, but I’d sooner stop playing the game then spend $10 to remove ads on any game. Also, I’m not sure if it is the ads or if it is the gameplay itself, but after about every 4-5 rounds the game causes my phone to go haywire, overheats, and crashes the app (or forces me to close it because everything freezes up). It’s a great game for the 5 minutes of gameplay I get even with the additional 3 minutes of ads, but the inability to play more than 5 minutes at a time is a real nuisance. I hope the lag issues get fixed, I’ve never had any issues running much more processor heavy games on my iPhone 13.

Ok, but not?

When I first downloaded this game and launched it for the first time I was met with a better experience then my expectation. Although once I started playing the game more I realized the maps are the same sometimes. So add more maps? Also the AI is great but whenever I reach max population on all of the provinces except one (which the AI is on) the ai doesn’t really attack anymore (which makes sense considering that the ai will never have more points then me) but I would at least like to see the ai try to sacrifice there population to make a last stand or something like that. Also, the game is alright but if you add more maps it would be alright if you could see the world you have conquered (like if you click a button it shows what you have took over). And, can you make a stats button to see how much people we have sent (to other nations or moved around and stuff) and can you also put a stat for how much of our population has died? Anyway, i know the reviews are mostly to see what they should fix but I hope you insert something like the ideas I had in the game. :)

Multiple App Store violations

This is not a game. It’s an app designed to make you watch as many ads as possible. Worse still, these ads and the way they’re presented represent several App Store violations, including ads that contain no countdown timer, ads that claim to be 30 seconds but are actually closer to 60, ads whose X exit button (aside from being impossibly small) takes you to the App Store when you tap it instead of exiting the ad, and showing you ads even when you tap “No Thanks” to decline watching an ad at the end of a match. These ads also include highly questionable and adult content, like a fashion game featuring a 16 year old girl in just her underwear (the premise of the game is that her man left her because she was unattractive, so you’re encouraged in the interactive ad to give her a makeover to win him back), a game where the premise is to save a woman and her baby from freezing to death (so you get to watch animations of a dying baby), and an ad for a medieval game where you’re encouraged to take the towel off of a “maiden” (the premise of the ad being that you’re a king who needs to bed as many women as possible). Disgusting that this developer is allowed to publish a single thing after multiple violations in both their ads and their content.

Fun game so many ads

I would have given a higher star rating if when you said “no thanks” to watching an ad you weren’t still forced to watch an ad. It’s actually gross how many ads this game has, I haven’t even played any game that has more ads than this. I used to watch the ads to get the bonus and was thinking about paying the 10 dollars to get ad free but was waiting for a response from the developers to see how coins and bonuses work if you pay for no ads. I decided that in the mean time I would opt out of watching ads for bonus because in 15 minutes spent on the game you can expect 5 to be game time and 10 to be spent watching ads and that’s when I realized it doesn’t matter if you say yes or no thanks, either way you are forced into watching one. There is no way that with how basic the game/graphics are and how many people play vs how many ads you are forced to watch that they “had to do it” in order to keep the game free. The fact they think that we are that stupid is offensive and I have changed my mind about even paying the $10 to go ad free as I definitely can’t support a company who treats their customers that way. Gross. Deleting the game. Not worth the money and definitely not worth the ads.

Strangely addicting

This game is strangely addictive. At some point, it seems the game can’t win but I’m enjoying seeing how much $$ I can rack up. One thing - when you use your gold to increase your speed, theres a point at which it won’t increase any longer. Mine should increase now to 500 units per sec but I haven’t seen a noticeable difference in speed past say… 200 units per sec. I think it’s because the app is designed to show each number as it increases to 120. It you eliminated the need to show us the numerical build once it reaches this critical mass, then it wold likely just jump from 0 to 120 vs slow down the build while all the numbers flash from 0-120. Either that or you should just not allow users to spend their gold on increasing the build speed when it no longer increases it. Also, you should give us access to talk with the developer in the app as other game companies do. (Usually found in a help or info button.) Then we wouldn’t come back out here and leave feedback for all the world to see… Thanks for a fun game!

BORING & AD-INFESTED

I’ve read many of the reviews this game has with 5 stars and honestly, I do not know where they get it. I downloaded this game because I thought that throughout the gameplay there would be more challenges. However, after a certain point, just invest in out-of-game money and wait for a while, then upgrade everything else. By doing that, basically you beat the game. The scenarios and the levels are the same. The amount of countries do not change, as well as the enemies. It just gets repetitive and the only difference is the speed the troops generate per country and the amount of troops your enemies start with. Besides talking about the extremely repetitive, boring, tedious gameplay, lets dive in into the ad part. I get it. I do. I do not mind getting ads once in a while, but literally every single click you make on the game will make an add just pop up. That makes absolutely no sense. I wrote about this before and the “developers” said that they would “take care of it” or something like that, but they never do and they never will. I hope that someone who reads this will take my advice to just avoid downloading the game. I will save you 2 weeks of your time.

Terrible way to play

Anytime I try to move away I get attacked and it doesn’t move even though I moved it before. This game has annoyed me so much that I almost cried because I went so far without a loss and then I just get immediately attacked before I do anything. Also when I start the game the opponents already have the full amount of troops. Also when I send troops I don’t get the same amount I sent but the opponents do which is unfair and a terrible way to play a game. This is probably one of the worst games I’ve ever played. I also click the X in the top right then it freezes and then I don’t get the thing I spent a whole add for and I have to rewatch the ad. Also it makes me watch an ad after clicking no thanks. It’s terrible how many ads this game has and it feels like the developers didn’t put anytime into the game and to get rid of ads it’s cost $10. I understand the game is free and that’s how you make money but stop putting as many ads as possible. This game is basically saying play this so we can get money and you can be annoyed. I would never recommend this game to anyone and if I had to describe this game I would say it’s a cash grab.

Fix the coins

I think you all need to do a better job gauging how many coins to give a person or how much things should cost. You make it nearly impossible to improve at the rate that the competitors improve. 3,000 coins shouldn’t be worth adding one more to your start value. It makes it difficult to want to keep going if you have to watch 25 ads every time you want to match the level of the other competitors. I deleted the app for this reason, if you fix it please let me know because the game was fun until it gets to an impossible point to continue without watching 20 minutes worth of ads. Additionally, it might be nice to earn coins while you’re playing. Like every second is 1 coin earned, and offline could be half that. And you could purchase power ups with those coins to improve the rate at which you earn them. Overall, there’s just far too many ads to enjoy the game. It gets just so frustrating. Every single person is complaining about ads but y’all don’t seem to fix it.

AD CITY

Holy ads…. Like I don’t think I’ve played a mobile game with so. Many. Interruptions. I have a very high tolerance for ads and paywalls when it comes to free apps. I’ll even pay for the ad free version if I enjoy an app enough and want to support the devs. But this game is something else. I’ve had a TON of fun playing the game but sheer amount of interruptions by ads has completely turned me off of the game. You want to play a round? Ad. You’re done playing a round? Ad. You want to multiply your reward with an ad? No? Too bad, you’re getting an ad anyway. Most of the ads are extremely loud and have no mute button which makes the game extremely annoying to play when listening to music or podcasts. What’s sad is that I had enough fun with this game that I’d consider purchasing the ad free version. But after having such an insane amount of ads shoved down my throat in the one day I played the this game, I lost all respect for the devs and every urge to support them. Great game… EXTREMELY poor execution. I completely understand needing to fund a free app but have some respect for the user experience

Ad revenue machine disguised as a game

Utterly swamped with ads. Ads on the menu screen, ads during the game, ads after most every level, blatant attempts to get you to click buttons to watch even more ads - there are so many ads that the game sometimes freezes or crashes because it's trying to load them. You're always given an option to watch an ad for a bonus after each level, but choosing to skip the ad often just shows an ad anyway. It's just shameless. Turn on airplane mode or you will suffer. The game itself is laughably easy, too. These almost no strategy required. Whenever an enemy attacks, just move into the space they attacked from, and that's practically all you need to know to win. Each level is over in around a minute at most, which means that (unless you have airplane mode turned on) you'll be sending as much time watching ads as actually playing. However, buried under all the ads, there actually is a decent time-waster here, albeit a brief one. That's the only reason I'm giving it two stars instead of one.

Great idea, not too many ads.

Everybody is constantly complaining about the ads. It’s what comes with a free game. It is a great idea for a game, really simple, strategic point holding game. Most ads come in getting cosmetics. It’s optional if you want cosmetics in a single player game in which you fight against AI’s. Plus, if you put money into the offline cash thing, it prevents you from having to watch video after video. You build up tons on money. Aside from what everybody is complaining about, the idea and way to play the game is simple and isn’t lacking many features. The way you can combine multiple area’s troops and attack one of theirs is a good idea on their part. It helps a lot. One idea though, every 2 upgrades the enemy should upgrade their start units and buildup speed. Multiplayer isn’t a bad idea, either. A battle royale could take place, like a vote between landmasses or countries , deploying players on the outskirts of the country, taking land as they go inwards, and after 15 seconds, allow them to attack each other. Another idea is an online 1v1, letting 2 players battle it out, each starting on the opposite side of each other on a map and fighting over land. My last and final suggestion is different troops types in a mode separated from “classic” which is the current game. There’s my take on it, have a great day!

There’s about 2 minutes worth of gameplay repeated over and over

This app was designed to make the developers money off of ads. Thats it. They hastily slapped together a working game thats so simple and bland that its basically just tapping dots. Complete waste of time. On top of this game barely existing in the first place, after every single round a 30 second ad plays. And if you accidentally tap to upgrade your stuff one too many times it opens an unskipable ad that probably gives your device malware. This is my least favorite app I’ve ever had. I’ve been reading other reviews because it’s bringing me joy to hear people say negative things about this game and I am infuriated by the developers responses to people’s reviews. The best way I can sum up people’s issues to them is: hey you accidentally added a game to your ads. This app should be removed from the store. There’s no fixing this dumpster fire that’s designed to trick children into watching literally hundreds of the same ad. If you want to play this game just google “idle mafia ad” and watch that on repeat until you’re angry enough to write a review. 0/10

Addicted to this game, but there’s one problem

This is gonna be a weird review. This is a fun game to pass the time. I’m strangely addicted to it, mostly because I want to see how fast I can take everything over. What I’ve been focusing on is my Units Per-Second. Currently, my states Max Out at 120 Units. I had my Units Per-Second upgraded to 250 Units Per-Second but it felt like it took the same amount of time as before, so I timed it and it took roughly 2 seconds to reach the 120 Max. So, I upgraded it even more to 400 Units Per-Second and timed it, and it still took roughly 2 seconds to reach the max. Made me feel like an idiot for spending so much time on upgrading everything when it doesn’t even do anything lol. Could you guys fix this? (Keep up the good work👍)

Developers please read

Thank you for adding pvp mode! It has made actual competition in game. However, I would like you to change your ad strategy. After a battle, there is a next and a multiplier button with an ad symbol on it. When you click on the multiplier button, you watch an ad (just as expected). But when you click on next, YOU ARE FORCED TO WATCH AN AD! No matter what you choose, you have to watch an ad anyway! I have no respect for devs who have no respect for me! Dev response: I get that you need ads to earn money, but you should not force an ad, especially when we choose not to watch one. Second dev response: yes, ads help players advance in the game, but if we click next after a battle, and are shown an ad anyway, there is no advantage for the player for watching it. Me, and many other players would greatly appreciate if you removed the forced ad after you tap next instead of multiply your rewards. Thank you in advance.

Don’t Waste Your Time

The game has terrible AI. Either the levels are so easy you cannot lose OR so hard you cannot win. It’s pointless! The competition on some levels starts out with 30 and a growing number that increases at an exponential rate for the higher number you have and so when you start with 11 by the time you have 25 the competition (which started with 30) is at 50. For a game that is literally based on attacking with numbers this means you are at a huge disadvantage. But as if that wasn’t bad enough, then when you have levels with 3 competitors at least 2 of them gang up on you and don’t attack each other. So before I even get started I’m getting decimated with no chance to even compete. And then there are levels where they only attack each other and you can literally sit back and wait and accumulate an army and decimate them. No in between and not intuitive AI. I think it’s a game designed to simply get you to watch ad’s so they can make money and that’s it. Sadly, that’s all to common these days! Very dumb game! I got it free and still felt ripped of!

Has potential

The game starts off quite fun and I was hooked for a minute grinding ai in play mode to get better for PVP. I enjoyed it until I realized that there aren’t any other players it’s all bots… idk if with game progression matchmaking is near impossible, but I can stick to one strategy for play and another for PVP and win 99% of the time. The 1% I lose it seems like I’m just ganged up on in PVP. I believe over near 1,000 levels in play I lost maybe twice. Maybe a change in strategies for play for AI, and an increase in map sizes could make the game better overall. To win play almost always just have the defender perk and bombard every neutral zone. Wait for ai to target one place and empty it until all ai is committed. Often times they commit to one zone and drain each other and you sweep up the crumbs. If not just wait for them to comitt to one zone and hit it when it’s low. AI will not target other locations even if they can wipe you out. In PVP just wait for your nearest neighbor to attack and hit them. Even if you get targeted just hit as many neutral areas and weak enemies and you will again almost always win. I would’ve rated the game 4 stars except I realized I don’t know if I’ve ever played a real person. I’ll get targeted and lose occasionally, and almost all the “players” will load in even though if they were real despite the fact they were doing well at the time I lost.

Pretty Counting&Swiping game built around Ad Simulator 2022

deserves credit for making a good looking game that keeps you hooked despite being as simplistic and boring in practice as could be. how the game plays is, if the enemies use their S-tier stats properly, you lose. 100%. you begin every game out numbered and if they set their sights on you twice running or together at once, you lost. if they let you expand for free or attack an enemy then you win, 100%, if you have full function of your eyes and hands. And then there’s an ad. the slimy kind that makes you interact, hunt for, or wait out the exit button so you can get back out. get ready to see the app store pop up more times than you can level up for as long as you play. Win, ad. Loss, ad. quit game, ad. no internet for ads, no play game. this is why they deserve the one star. if there was any depth at all i’d consider buying the no ad version. but i’ve played upwards of 175 games and on my 8th+ world tour and a 10 dollar ask for this effort is obscene, given that amount nets actual quality games on any platform.

Too Easy

If your reading this, firstly ads aren’t the problem. You can avoid playing or watching ads by playing offline or in airplane mode, because as long as you are connected to the internet they will play. Secondly let me start off by declaring how easy this game is. The bots you vs in each new play are too stupid to really give you a challenge especially since your constantly upgrade. Even if I refuse to upgrade I can still beat them because they never attack you right away they just attack each other. Third after literally over a week of playing this game, you can rank your in-game upgrades through the roof. I managed to upgrade the offline currency I get every hour to level 900 making over 2,000,000 an hour and after coming back 12 hrs later which is the maximum offline harvest period I watch the 1 ad for 4x boost and make almost 100,000,000 coins or whatever. Then once I upgrade I have nearly 500 starting dots, and a rate of almost 50x dots per second. Basically I’m unstoppable at this point as the boys you vs don’t even stand a chance with their 120 dots. Users Fix: Guys if you don’t want ads play offline that way they don’t make as much money, lol. Developers Fix: make the game harder and add more features as you get farther into the game. Not only that buts it’s way to ridiculously easy to get hundreds of millions of in game currency seriously.

This will definitely improve the game.

I honestly love this game so much. Your patience is being tested, your focus, and shows how smart you are. What I think would be better is having an online mode where you play against other people online. And each content has their own servers or something so less laggy for everyone. Now I know that is huge and might be too much I have another idea. Maybe you can made different game modes about how the world look like. Pangea basically. You can like do this but how all the countries where connected to each other as one. And different modes for different shapes on how earth looked like. Another and smart idea would be is that to make some land make more people faster. For example let’s say Egypt and Libya. Egypt would produce more people faster because they have the Nile river. Or maybe other countries would make more people faster because of the type of land, or the huge cities they have. You get the idea. One bonus thing to say is that not usually I could get attacked twice at once and it would hard to keep up so maybe the first person to do that leave and the second will have to wait until the first person is done attacking. Anyways I hope you read this and I hope I helped you improve the game. Keep up the work and have a good one.

Good but difficult

So this game is a good game but once you get more into it through the multiplayer, it gets incredibly more difficult and it gets annoying from really easy to like impossible. This is a game where it’s fun at the beginning but then gets more boring the farther you get in. For example if you know the game “Borderlands” you know that it’s fun and it is I’m level 52 I’m pretty sure and is fun but challenging with one quest to defeat a enemy that is like level 55 which you would think is easy but is very hard to level up being that high in level. So the comparison being both being easy at the beginning but getting more and more difficult the farther in which is the point of some games but the way it is in some games is just crazy for how challenging it is. So overall it is a decent game but has some room for improvement.

This Game is great but is a Battery Killer

This game is very enjoyable and it is very fun. In this game you drag troops from your country to another to take it over. It is similar to Risk, Just high speed. However, It uses the batterly Insanely quick. I would reccomend plugging your device in while playing for long periods of time. Also, It is Flooded with ads. When I heard about this game from a friend, I decided I would get it and then just purchase the no ads right away. I was guessing it would be 2 bucks at the most. But it is actually 10 dollars! That is too much. If you think this game looks fun enough to tolorate ads, get it. Otherwise, Do not purchase unless you have 10 bucks lying around. In Conclusion, This game is very fun and has a great concept and would be better if it had a cheaper no ads button. Thanks for taking your time to read this review. :)

Lacking creativity

I believe the developers are either lacking in brainstorming or they are just too lazy to put in time for new things. How about some fricking updates like attack/deploy speed, maybe attack strength which could denote more units from a country instead of just one for one. There is literally no point in upgrading produce speed after a certain point because still your country takes the same amount of time to send all the troops out. Maybe add an upgrade to maximum amount able to produce instead of just 120. Like you are really just trying to get people here to spend two seconds playing maybe get them to spend money on no adds, oh wait I just turned airplane mode on now I have no ads duh. Add some dang upgrades man do I really have to spell it out for you and tell what to add. It’s not that hard come on. If you get people to play it more often and longer then maybe they won’t mind watching your 10 second ad because it’s actually a good upgrade game. Get with it. Change my rating. I challenge you

Potential but don’t pay for Ad Removal

This game is fun, don’t get me wrong but there’s so much work that could and should be going into this game. There comes a time around level 100 I think where it says “content coming soon”, and that’s all you get besides coins. Now there are so many ads in this game and I am fine with paying $10 to remove ads in a game that has entertained me. But the only ads it removes are the ones on the “home screen”. The ads you see after every level are still there as well as the multiplier after being “away” for a period of time. I get having some ads still to get free coins from time to time but there are far too many and I'm honestly about done with them because it’s ridiculous and makes me feel like I wasted my money. You spend anywhere from 30 seconds to like 2 minute per round and then 30 seconds per ad. It’s overkill and I’m here to tell you don’t make the same mistake I did, DO NOT pay for the ad removal.

Latest update ruined game for me

I have spent a lot of time playing this game. It was always good for hours of idle distraction, and hence lots of add viewing. The only thing that kept me coming back regularly was the offline earnings. I was opening the app at least twice a day and playing a few games. I was to the point of earning 280,000,000 coins per hour offline, 50,000 starting troops, 7000 units per second build speed. Yes, the play never really improved because the AI becomes difficult to fight. The real problem I have? Upgrades now cost me 24,000,000 (rate) coins and 14,000,000(armies)…. each! The only way to earn coins is to watch adds. For watching 2-3 adds, I can earn 2,000,000 coins. I was happy to watch adds when I felt like I COULD make progress. This update took that away. The developer’s Director of Monetization should be fired. That person just lost the developer a LOT of customers! Myself included. Do not download and play this game, it is now the most boring game on my phone. It likely won’t be on my phone much longer.

Good, gets stale really fast

Let me first say that I never write reviews. But I had to make an exception here. This has potential but lacks to effectively use it. I had an enjoyable time playing this game. I’ll ignore the fact that there’s an add after every single level too. On the other hand, this game definitely gets repetitive pretty quickly. Can you really “conquer the world” when two continents are missing? When I was playing I was wondering where Russia/Asia is along with Australia. It would help to solve some of the repetitiveness. If people get bored of that, you could even make it so you conquer the territories inside of a state too. There’s a lot of potential here that has yet to be utilized. I’ll be checking out for updates but I don’t have much hope that much will change here. Best of luck to the devs before they pop out another cheap and easy money maker like everybody else making mobile games.

Return the offline earnings + lessen adds

You updated the games style and made it smooth so that’s good but you have not balanced the adds and now you can’t make money late game. You went about the idea of balancing the adds, because now not only is it that when you beat a level you watch an add, but also you have to watch an add to upgrade stuff. A better way to manage adds is make it so you can watch adds to earn money proportional to your level. Also in the late game it’s necessary to have offline earnings. All in all this seems like a failed strategy to balance adds and is making the player base for the game suffer. Please return the offline earnings mechanic and make the adds not appear after level completion. I do hope you realize that when adds become necessary the game no longer is fun, also I close the game after the level is completed to get back to the game faster. So get rid of those adds too.

Fun to easy

This game was absolutely fun. I went on a 4 hour flight and pretty much played this the whole time. When I got to my destination I still continued to play it, I was quite addictive. I liked playing it and it was pretty challenging maybe up the so difficulty a little bit or just make it an online game because this game online would be superior. Anyways it was kinda challenging at first and super fun. After a little bit I’d say the fun starts to decrease a lot. I upgraded my stuff to be equal to how fat the ai level up their points and now I just win under 20 seconds of clicking start. Maybe if the ai was more challenging it would be more fun but at this point I pretty much attack them and I win. The reason I gave it 4 stars: I can truly say this game was fun while it lasted because it was a blast in the beginning. I 10/10 recommend downloading it but just be prepared to delete it after some time. Hey devs if you’re reading this here are some recommendations: -Add a higher block to the max points make it past 120 -ai difficulty harder especially when you get further in the game. -Maybe make it an online game PLEASEEEE -make it where you can buy things in the shop not watch an add, we rank up all this money with no other reward than getting higher points.

Great game but could use some updates

This is and overall great game but one feature I think they should add is the ability to call reinforcements from places you have obtained but are out of the zone you would have to buy it and it would be maybe around a thousand, Another feature I would want the developers to add would be to have declarations of war and peace treaty’s so your not always getting attacked and you can focus on on faction, also I would like the 50 cap to be bigger you could probably make it cost money or something, also for the peace treaty stuff make it so factions aren’t like really buggy and declare war tons of times, and I have see units that are like 300+ and can like wipe out the map so could you fix that please, I hope the game owner or someone reads this I look forward to updates in the future.

So close to greatness

Look, I understand that we aren’t going to get a perfect free app, and I have zero issue with advertisements. I also have zero issue with selectable ads that give you boosts for watching them. What I DO mind is the fact that the “no thanks” button only works 10% of the time you beat a level. And what I DO mind is how I have to wait to click on BOTH “no thanks” and “multiply.” Tip to the developer: Get rid of the lag delay between when the multiplier choice comes up and how long it takes to select out (it takes like 6 seconds for either option to appear, which is just weird). And then make the “no thanks” button work. Either way, it’s faster for me to restart the app than to watch the video, so you get nothing by making it unskippable. If you do these things, this app would be perfect! Update: changed to one star due to the stupid, noncommittal, answer I got from the devs. Don’t waste your time with this app, people. Don’t pass go. Don’t collect the $200.

Needs more stuff

This game overall is very good and fun. I enjoy upgrading and at this point, I am eager to open it every morning to collect my money. But the game is bland now. Maybe if you could have more upgrades? How fast units move, how many locations you can send troops from one location (currently if I have a state that is mine and I send units to another, it only goes there and if I want to go to another, the flow stops to the first one and switches). Maybe a leaderboard so people could fight for the top and multiplayer would sound nice. Large maps would definitely be fun and the possibility for my states to have a limit over 120 troops. Also I currently produce 100 troops per second, but I notice it is a bit slow. Maybe a bug? Other than that good game overall. Just needs some more things to spice it up.

Paid to remove adds

I wanted to like this game so much that I paid to remove ads. I mean, the ads are ridiculous, ads when you lose a game, ads when you win a game, ads to double your money, or change color or icon. It’s not to far off to say that you spend more time on ads than game play. So, I paid the money to remove the ads but it didn’t work. There are still ads to multiply winnings, to change you color or icon, and other instances of ads. So, I deleted the game. It’s a shame to, it was fun but not worth the ads. They got my money though. Don’t do what I did! Just stay away from the game! Oh, and it’s 100% bots. No player vs player, it’s fake. It’s funny, the reply didn’t mention anything about how paying for no ads doesn’t remove the ads. It’s a rip off and a ploy to get your money. **EDIT** I was able to get refunded for the no ads cost by apple. Some game developers should be held accountable and banned or at the very least get fined for misrepresentation

The number of ads makes this unplayable.

Usually I’m fine watching ads for extra coins or in-game items, or even after every other game. However the constant ads in this game is ridiculous! It made my phone lag so much that I deleted the app after 15 minutes of playing. Besides that, once a game is over there’s an ad option to get extra coins… now you’d think when clicking “no thanks” it would immediately go back to the Home Screen, but no, it plays an ad anyways! It’s like that after EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. There’s no point in playing a free game when the ads make it hard to play. I’ll always prefer free gameplay with most customizable features and items costing money than this. Ads aside, the game itself is as fun as “risk: factions”. It’s a shame that the ads ruin it, other wise I would’ve played it often. If it switched from ads to in-app purchases I’d be willing to try it again.

This could be a good game

Broadly this could be a good game, but for me there were two main problems: 1. It’s got a lot of ads in it. This makes it free to play, so this is kind of the price of entry. It was very annoying, and partially lead to me leaving this game. 2. The difficulty doesn’t makes sense or matter. The actual gameplay gives a huge advantage to the opponents in that their rate of increase of soldiers is about double yours. So that’s difficult, and feels a bit unfair but ok. The real problem is that that doesn’t matter; if you lose a level, you have the option of watching an ad and you’ll be given a whole bunch of soldiers for free, basically ensuring victory. So it’s a difficult game that you can win every level not by skill or luck, but by watching an ad on top of all the ads you already have to watch. This doesn’t work for me, which is a shame because I think there is good game in here somewhere.

ads

i dont even think i have to elaborate considering if youve played the game youd know the sheer amount of ads. ive been going thru the reviews for the past 10 mins and ive seen several people give bad ratings because of the ads, going a year back, then them responding saying theyll work on it but here we are a year later and the game is still infested with ads. its almost like they dont care that you sit on ads longer than you play the actual game. even when you lose the round against AI you still have to sit thru an ad that even when you click the X to close it, it brings up ANOTHER ad page that you then have to press X again to fully close??? holy. honestly if it werent for the huge amount of ads this game wouldve gotten a 4 star from me, cuz the actual gameplay isnt bad at all. its just the ads making it nearly impossible to play cuz they want to test your patience every 30 secs

More use for the coins

This is one of my all time favorite mobile games. Very fun to play. I just wish there was more use for the coins. I’m at the point in the game where my upgrades are so high I don’t really even need to upgrade anything anymore. Maybe adding some tiers to the cosmetics. Cosmetics you can buy with coins then more “rare” cosmetics you can get by watching ads. Or being able to purchase other planets because I feel like I’ve beat this game like 30 times already. Maybe a system where at the end of each level you can invest coins into a spaceship and once you beat the first world, if you have enough coins in the spaceship it takes you to the next planet. Just some ideas.

False game play.

I just wanted to say that the pvp game play is a fraud. You are not playing against other players you are in fact still playing against the computer. I had stopped playing this game for a while because it was monotonous and the game play started to become boring. I was excited to see they added pvp but when you are in pvp the other players aren’t actually real players. How do I know? Well today as I was playing the fraudulent pvp mode I opened my email to read some messages. As I was reading my email for a good 30 minutes I realized I forgot that I was in the middle of a PvP game. I was expecting to have lost the PvP match since I didn’t look at if for 30 minutes but I did not. The game had paused and I was able to continue and win the game. If I am in the middle of the game against real live players how does the game pause? It doesn’t make sense. I am over this game and will be deleting. It seemed like such a great game but in fact it is garbage.

Don’t waste your time

When I first started to play this game you could earn money when you weren’t in game and you could come back and use that money to multiply how much you earn per hour. They got rid of that. I grinded away all the colors and different icons, they did a hard reset and took away all of my progress and slapped an ad over them to unlock them after I already had. Then as you progress the bots get harder and harder by starting off with more and reshooting faster. This is fine but whenever you win you hardly get any points but they offer you to multiply it by a few if you watch this video (again, pretty standard). Here’s my issue with it. It’s gotten to a point where I’m such a high level I have to watch an ad after every game just to get enough money to keep up with the bots in this game. Also, the more money it multiplies to the longer the ads are.

TONS OF ADDS

I understand that the game has to make a profit, but at a point too much is just to much. It’s so absurd every time I finish a match I get an add. When I win bonus money I can either watch an add or skip. Guess what when I skip I get an add. It is almost easier to exit out of the game and load back in which is what I have been doing because the adds are unbearable. I know the profit margins for the game is there because of the rate this game is growing in popularity so there is no shortage of add money. Overall if the adds were toned down the game would be 10 stars easy. But I recommend not downloading this game unless you like watching an hour of adds for a half hour of game play. Otherwise this game has amazing potential for the content that is in it.

Broke their own game

About a month ago the game was great, you were able to earn money while you were offline that you could then use to upgrade your starting amount of troops and upgrade how fast they are replenished. They have now removed the offline earning option making it absolutely impossible to keep yourself at the same pace with the ai when it comes to upgrades... unless you want to watch an ad to receive x3 money after every match you play. Basically what they did was remove the free way to make money and are trying to force you to watch ad after ad after ad because they're money hungry. It's insane to me how y'all had a great game and your own greed is now going to ruin your game, and i'm sure i'm going to get some stupid developer response saying something along the lines of "we're sorry we're making updates to make the game more enjoyable and ads allow us to develop more"

An Interactive Ad disguised as a game.

They should just put a 10$ price tag on it, if the free version is gonna make you watch 5 mins of ads per 30-90 second of game. Even if you deny the “bonuses” for watching the ads, it will still make you watch a ad of the same length in between each game. Only reason I gave it two stars, before uninstalling it, is because it was fun for what I could bring myself to play of it. After 30 mins of ads and about 5 mins of actual play, It got old tho, gives no incentive to buy the actual game, because if the Premium version takes away the ads, it also takes away the mechanic that gives you bonuses and without bonuses, you will have to replay the same map over and over again because the AI’s stats scale too quickly for you to keep up without the extra gold to level the playing field.

Great time killer, but it is AD galore

I rarely write reviews, but I just can’t take it anymore. I enjoy the game, it’s very simple and easy and I rarely lose, the only time that happens is when I send units somewhere and an AI goes after my original starting area. It is fun for awhile, had the game a few days, but playing a match for a minute to have an Ad shoved down my eye sockets gets old after the second match. I understand you need ads to keep a game free, but having the option to watch an ad for some bonuses and then declining it and having an ad showed to you anyways is overkill, want to know an easy way to get ahead in the game, just upgrade the offline bonus and don’t play for the night, lather, rinse, repeat. The only way I’m able to play the game is on airplane mode because there are just way too many ads.
