    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with players reporting an overwhelming number of forced ads that disrupt gameplay and hinder progress. While some appreciate the option to pay for an ad-free experience, many feel that the frequency and intrusiveness of ads make the game unplayable without spending money.

  • stability11 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent freezes, glitches, and unresponsive icons, particularly during key interactions.

While some users express hope for improvements in future updates, the current state is described as buggy and frustrating.

Overall, the narrative feels underdeveloped and in need of more features to enhance player experience.

    • “Once it's polished and given a few features, like missions or achievements for building the city rather than just following the percentage completion of the pyramid, I'll give it more stars.”
    • “So many glitches, no missions in cities 2 and 3, no bonuses to collectibles in those cities either, just money.”

    • “Nice theme, but so many ads... they should really start calling this genre of game 'ad farming games' because the makers use the players to farm ads.”
    • “Why can't some like 2 or 3 be left behind to help with farming offline?”
  • music3 mentions
