Leave a Review Idle Miner Tycoon
Interesting game but rigged
As an idle game, it is an interesting game and is enjoyable. If you just want to kill some times a day, don’t play this game unless you don’t care for progress or events. I deducted two stars due to a lot of lags in the game after watching a video. It can take from 15 seconds to a minute before the game can be fully controlled again. This issue starts after you have been playing the game for a while (around the time you open Ruby mine or so). Another issue is similar to any gacha game, rigged. How rigged? I spin the free wheel which happens once a day and I got the lowest prize in consecutive 5 days. And last but not least, the game keeps forget idle time when I get back online after I wake up. So all the idle time is never counted; thus no coins gained but those in-game selling pop ups instead. Overall the game concept is nice as an idle game. Fast pace. But it could be frustrated and it lives with ads. Stuff is not cheap. Though I spent about $3 to try some stuff out. If you want to compete in their event, be prepared to spend some money or you won’t get much but if you all F2P and chill, then it is a game for you.
Update: The game still crashing from time to time. The new event promotion pop up is ruining the game because it replaces idle money, so you get no money if you switch map. Overall the game is not really what I would recommend to others yet.Show lessGameLoverMuch

Awful updating of the platform
I’ve been playing this game for a couple of years. I’ve easily invested hundreds of dollars during that time, to advance through the game. It used to be fun and entertaining, and I had no issue supporting the developers, although I sometimes felt guilty for spending so much on it. As of the past four or six months, the game platform has consistently been getting more glitchy, and the money required to finish events, or get a super manager, has steadily increased, when Instead they shortly be figuring out ways to make the platform more reliable. Just today, I spent some cash on the Black Friday offers, and was considering spending more to get the new SM, when suddenly it is impossible to change continents or mines, without the system kicking you out. In the past, I used to be able to log back in after the first kick, but today I’ve tried it no less than 5 times, and every time I try to switch from Frontier to Elemental, I get kicked out. Utterly frustrating and completely unacceptable. If you’re contemplating playing this game… please don’t… unless frustration brings you joy. The only reason I give it two stars, is because I did get enjoyment the first year I played it. But if it had started as it is today, I would not have spent a dime.Show lessPrincesskittyrock
Started off good but when downhill quick
I am a pretty new player, and really enjoyed the concept and game when I started. Once I got the ruby mine, I swear every minute I get an ad. I sat measuring the amount of ads I got, and was close to 1 per minute, (.7 ads per minute), which is INSANE. Most crappy mobile games don’t even give you that much, which is ridiculous. The game is generating cash like crazy, but the devs feel the need to keep us drowning in ads. The only solution is to play on airplane mode, but during my playtime I can’t receive messages. Also, as soon as you open the game, you have to click out of like 5 windows that just lead to “events” that are just more moneymaking schemes, with the only way to participate in them is give them your money. Progressing is extremely slow, with long barriers that delay your expansion (and can sometimes exceed 1 day! Wth?) and many ways to pay for different OP items to speed it up.
It’s a good and entertaining concept, which is the only reason I gave it two stars, and if you are willing to pay for a 20 dollar no ads, I mean… It’s worth it I guess. And if you want to actually progress, probably another 50 dollars. But at that point just get a new xbox game or idk… save it for something important?Show lessrawstoo
