  • story
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • monetization
    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game primarily revolves around optional ads that players can choose to watch for rewards like gems and energy. While some users appreciate the ability to earn resources through ads, many express frustration over the increasing frequency of mandatory pop-up ads that disrupt gameplay and lead to crashes. Overall, the balance between optional and intrusive ads has become a significant concern for players, with many considering uninstalling the game due to the annoyance caused by excessive advertising.

    • “This is the best mobile game I have installed in a very long time; there are no ads unless you click to play them.”
    • “Too many ads, I even buy some paywall stuff sometimes, but it's still annoying for ads to randomly pop out and they use a lot of data for each one. I used to love this game and I've been playing since it was released, but I stopped because it gets boring. The more progress you make, the less time you spend playing, and almost all the required items citizens buy in the market take longer to make.”
    • “The ads are becoming a nuisance; they have increased in number and it's really starting to make me think it's time to move on.”
    • “Update 5/23: your stupid pop-up ads are becoming more aggressive.”

    • “I will give it 5 stars if we can share or trade with friends via Facebook or gameplay.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “It's quite fun and not tedious right to the end.”
    • “After all, I recommend the game to everyone to try it out, but I guarantee that you'll get bored of just grinding for items and coins, and even sometimes sell the items you made for no profit or a negative balance. Hope they fix this one day because the game is very fun.”

While some acknowledge minor bugs, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction, particularly regarding customer service and the game's long-term performance.

    • “What I think is this game sucks. It always has to update, which takes up all phone space. If you have this game, it will take up all the space on your phone over time because of the updates. It freezes at moments and cuts off after I watched a video, and I did not receive my prizes. Each time I had to restart the game and still did not get my prizes. It does this several times, and I'm deleting this game. I am very pissed off with the amount of time and investment in this game. Always read the reviews because these developers do not tell you all the malfunctions of this game, and I am frustrated with Google Play altogether. The worst games ever!”
    • “This game was fun at first, but then it got boring pretty fast, and the customer service isn't very helpful when it comes to glitches in the game.”
    • “The game has some glitches and minor bugs, but it is very fun.”
