The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, with many players expressing that progress is nearly impossible without watching them. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the overwhelming consensus is that the game forces players into a cycle of constant ad viewing to earn sufficient in-game currency, leading to frustration and a diminished gameplay experience. Many users also report technical issues with ads, such as crashes and unresponsive screens, further complicating the monetization model.
“I enjoyed the game, enough so that I made a couple of in-app purchases to speed up the process.”
“No ads unless you want a reward, so overall a very fun mobile game.”
“Very entertaining and best of all, no ads unless you want the bonus.”
“It's impossible to win the game without watching ads, as the profit rate increases very slightly, regardless of the size of your network.”
“The game is fun to play but I wish there wasn't a limit on how many countries you can unlock in a day without having to buy ballots. I'm fine with watching ads to unlock a new country, but I don't like that there's a limit on how many you can watch per day without having to pay money.”
“You have to watch so many ads to get anywhere in the game.”

The game's stability is a significant issue, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes, crashes, and glitches that render it unplayable, especially in free play mode. Many players experience lost progress due to the lack of an effective save system, and the game often becomes unresponsive after unlocking multiple countries or during ad interactions. Overall, while the game has potential, its current state is marred by persistent bugs that detract from the overall experience.
“Fun game, no glitches, and it runs smoothly. That's why I play right before Christmas (December 23).”
“The game is utterly frustrating and unplayable as it randomly makes the menus disappear after loading a saved game, freezes the game and grinds everything to a halt.”
“Game is absolutely incredible, however, there is a really annoying bug in free play where it will crash as soon as you've unlocked about 5 countries where it just freezes and is completely unplayable.”
“The game freezes and crashes on free mode as soon as I open it up.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting significant performance issues such as overheating devices, frequent crashes, and lag, especially when managing larger networks. Many players express frustration over lost progress due to these crashes and call for urgent updates to improve the overall gameplay experience. Despite its fun and addictive nature, the lack of optimization detracts significantly from the enjoyment.
“This is a really fun game, but it has some large bugs and needs to be optimized.”
“The game is great; I've been playing it for 2 days and it's really addictive. I like the huge amount of cities and the gameplay itself, but it seems to have performance issues in free play when you build too many connections, and the game crashes.”
“Extremely poorly optimized, causes phone to overheat (S20 FE 5G), frequent crashes (which won't automatically save, losing your progress), extremely laggy once a decent size air network is established.”
“The placing system is garbage, often gets interrupted with a pop-up or the horrible controls. Very little to no optimization, the unlock country feature is broken, and when it unlocks, if you leave or reload another save, it will just make you unlock it again.”
“I several times lost hours of progress, and as soon as you gather a decent number of countries, the performance takes a serious knock.”
