The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive and often malfunctioning ads that hinder gameplay. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, they frequently report issues with ads not loading or not providing the promised benefits, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. Additionally, the high cost of removing ads, often cited as around $30, is viewed as unreasonable, further detracting from the overall experience.
“Little to no ads, which is awesome.”
“I purchased the no ads recently... I had to reset my phone and I've now lost my recent purchase... absolute brilliant response, all sorted in very quick time.”
“Probably not worth in-app purchases, but an occasional ad isn't too onerous.”
“The game is alright... it is a good time killer but the ads watching is a pain... like ads for every little thing... and the twenty bucks to get rid of the ads is a joke... five bucks maybe but not over twenty... if that... 🙄 maybe if you come over and mow my lawn while I play this I would give you twenty bucks... 😆”
“I would love to advise everyone not to waste their time on this game because the ads will not load all because the maker of the game keeps trying to sell you their items and they think we the people who play games will get tired of waiting for the ads to load and buy their items so do not waste your time or money on this game.”
“Ads frequently freeze the game and you have to quit and open again.”

Players generally find the grinding in this farming game to be a mixed experience; while some enjoy the idle mechanics and daily missions, others feel that the extensive grinding required for special farms can be tedious and detracts from overall enjoyment. The game's unique blend of farming simulation and idle gameplay is appreciated, but the difficulty scaling and prolonged grinding periods may frustrate some players. Overall, it appeals to those who enjoy farming games, but the grind can be a significant hurdle for others.
“The worst thing in the game is you do not progress for 30 days because you have to grind the special farms, and that is a lot of grinding which I personally don't like. The difficulty scale goes from 1 to 100; I would like it if it went from 1 to 50-60.”
“Whilst I'm used to some serious, long, tedious, and pointless grinding, being up to the later main levels at least I still had some enjoyment in completing daily side missions/assignments.”
“It makes farming the older levels very tedious.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its tedious and time-consuming quests, with players feeling stuck on the same missions for extended periods. Many users express frustration over the high requirements for completing quests and the lack of upgrades, which hampers progress and enjoyment. While some appreciate the addition of side quests, the overall narrative experience is marred by grinding and technical issues that prevent players from fully engaging with the story.
“Whilst I'm used to some serious, long, tedious, and pointless grinding, at least I still had some enjoyment in completing daily side missions/assignments.”
“You finally added the side quests for the rest of the farms; that was good.”
“When I complete a mission, I get the medals.”
“Been on the same 2 quests at level 35 since August 2021 (almost a whole year).”
“The quests are ridiculously high and take forever to complete.”
“I cannot complete any more quests unless I leave my phone on for days at a time.”

Gameplay in this game has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the controls, graphics, and engaging farm vibe, others criticize the slow progression at higher levels and the disruptive pop-up ads. The initial experience is enjoyable, but concerns about pacing and interruptions may detract from long-term enjoyment. Overall, the game shows potential but may require adjustments to maintain player interest as they advance.

“Very good graphics and gameplay.”
“I love the gameplay but getting tired of the additional hassle.”
“I love idle games, but although this one has a lot of potential, the gameplay slows almost to a standstill once you get to level 4. For instance, I currently need 257c cash to level up my horse and cart by one level, but I'm only collecting 4.08c at a time.”
“The concept is good, but the gameplay is horrible.”
“Was good until the pop-up ads began interrupting the gameplay.”
