I downloaded it for the first time in about 3 years and in the first 5 seconds, I get greeted by an in-game purchase asking me to buy something. 5 seconds later, I get an ad. 10 minutes after playing, I realized this is a cash grab game with ads every about 5 seconds or 2 clicks. I wouldn't recommend downloading the game unless you want 70% of gameplay to be ads.”
