While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the forced ads disrupt gameplay and often lead to crashes, causing players to lose progress and resources.

character development
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Character development in the game is perceived as slow yet realistic, reflecting real-life challenges. However, players criticize the limited availability of resources, which hampers character progression and restricts gameplay, as resources are scarce and often tied to ads for replenishment.
- “The first game is good, but the characters are slow. While they feel realistic in a sense, the resource management is very poor. You can't even move a character with specific commands or gather resources once they're used. The game provides a very scarce amount of resources, and the only way to get more is through ads, which is frustrating since the game revolves around resource management.”
