Really fun city builder, but really hard if you don't want to pay to play. Everything cost way too much to build. Required buildings cost a fortune. The materials needed take so long. I wish they would make one of these games you pay to buy and then everything is unlocked. If you wanted to actually unlock most things in this game it will cost A LOT!

It lags and takes forever to load often and 1/2 the time the videos that you watch don't give you the reward promised...for example I've watched 5 videos to finish supply machines and after video is done it reloads the game but no reward; theres no in game to contact support and if there is, its not easily found. also I wish it had easier access within the game to explain things and how to get them without having to look it up outside of the game.

I've been playing this game for 10+yrs now. I will say- I 100% see why people are frustrated w. the updates. However, those updates are also part of the reason I started playing again (after a 2yr break). Yes, it absolutely made some mechanics more challenging but the game had become so stale & predictable, I stopped playing, went back just to look because I missed it & those updates got me back into the game. Buying in game things help, but aren't necessary with patience & strategy
