Gameplay is criticized for being slow and overly tutorialized, extending beyond what is necessary for new players. It features a Farmville-style resource management system that could benefit from automation, while the community farm orders mechanics require improvement. Although it is a free game without in-app purchases, it is laden with pay-to-earn mechanics.
- “Good game; community farm orders mechanics must be improved.”
- “Gameplay is too slow, and why does any time I touch the screen there is a new tutorial? You need to give tutorials until level 1 or max 2, not until level 10.”
- “Gameplay is a Farmville-style resource management game that could really benefit from a bit of automation.”
- “Gameplay is also so-so.”
