The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with users expressing frustration over the combination of a purchase price and ongoing microtransactions, which many perceive as a cash grab. Complaints also highlight the lack of a restore purchase option and issues with in-app purchases not functioning as expected, leading to dissatisfaction among players. Overall, the sentiment suggests a strong desire for either a fully free model or the removal of microtransactions altogether.
- “So, you guys have the gall to put a price on this thing and add microtransactions?”
- “Just feels like a cash grab to me; you buy premium and still have to pay for other stuff anyway.”
- “Either go free or remove in-app purchases.”
- “Update: there is no restore purchase button. I just completed an in-app purchase for 100,000 a day at the $3.99 rate with no in-app change.”
stability

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs and random crashes, which detract from the overall experience. While players find the game enjoyable, the presence of these technical problems, along with certain features locked behind a paywall, has led to frustration. Improvements in stability could elevate the game to a much higher standard.
- “It is buggy, crashes randomly, and I don't like the fact that certain features aren't available without buying them with real money.”
- “Fun game, but it's buggy.”
- “This is what I was looking for exactly, but there are so many issues. The game works fine most of the time, but the countries change their names. For example, I tried to attack Mongolia, but it shows as the USA and has USA capacity. No matter how many rifles we buy, they won't add up in our stockpile. If the game was just a bit less buggy and more advanced, it could have been the best game ever.”

The gameplay is described as simple and enjoyable, but suffers from slow pacing and a lack of speed options, which detracts from the experience. Additionally, the presence of freemium mechanics and unpredictable alliances negatively impacts gameplay, with critical elements often locked behind paywalls, leading to frustration among players.
- “The gameplay is simple yet engaging, and I appreciate the ongoing updates that promise to add features like a space program.”
- “The game offers a unique experience with its gameplay mechanics, but I wish there were options to adjust the pace for a more dynamic experience.”
- “While the core gameplay is enjoyable, I feel that some critical elements should not be locked behind a paywall.”
- “The game is way too slow-paced; there should at least be an option to increase speed to be even faster, such as 4x, 8x, and possibly 16x. On top of that, it still has freemium mechanics, such as paying real money for in-game currency, which shouldn't exist. Additionally, wars are way too unpredictable, and alliances are extremely unrealistic, especially with associations of various groups.”
- “Gameplay is bad, and the popularity system just ruins the experience as it will always go down.”
- “You buy the game, then have critical gameplay elements behind a paywall...”
