Leave a Review Idle Miner Tycoon
Recent update purely for monetization
The most recent update for this game made a big change to the “chest” feature. Players could previously buy legendary chests and were told exactly what they would receive. Each chest came with a legendary card, which justified its high in game currency cost. Now, however, they mad it a 50% chance to get a legendary card, which means I will now waste half of the money I have spent hours collecting in game on useless cards just for the hopes of a legendary card. They did this purely so people would waste real money to buy more chests because they can’t get they cards they need now on the first shot. They tried to justify this by saying the other chests will have better cards but any card other than legendary is useless and the epic chest only gives a 5% chance of a legendary card while costing half the cost of a legendary chest (which is already too expensive). This seriously disappointed me because they have changed over to this “loot crate” system that has plagued the gaming world in the last few years. They now expect their players to waste half the money they grind for on basically nothing. This was a dirty move and changed a 5 star game into a 2 star game overnight. Nothing pisses a player off more than a greedy company and this is the definition of greed. For new players it is not as catastrophic, but for those at higher levels it was a vital game feature to advance in the game.Show lesstom cov
Developer Response

Despite Milliegolf’s Nov 4 review, this game really is pretty easy to learn and play. The game gives you hints while it’s loading, and one of them is to upgrade your elevators and warehouses. That’s likely all that Milliegolf needed to do. If you just look around, you can identify bottlenecks to cash flow and upgrade the right things. I have also played AdCap and prefer Idle Miner.
I’ve been playing the game for a couple of weeks now and really enjoy it. It’s simple to play, but you still have to think about strategy to speed up your progress.
I have two complaints:
1) battery consumption is ridiculous, and sadly this week’s update (1.45.0, which claims awesome performance improvements) did not fix the issue. I’m not sure what performance was improved because everything else worked fine before.
2) there’s far too much reliance on watching ads to speed up progress. Without the ads, progress is slow enough that you might abandon the game entirely. With the ads, you can easily spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game. I would rather pay a fee up front to gain the boosts instead of having to watch ads all the time. Unfortunately, the only things you can purchase give you bonuses but do not let you eliminate the ads.
It appears that the developer is very responsive, so I’m keeping my hopes up for further improvements. For now, it’s another fun way to kill some time.Show lessTheShifty
Best Idle App
I never leave a review for games, so the fact that I'm writing this says something.
This game is very fun and pretty addicting as well, mainly because you can upgrade your assets so much. I have only had the game for 3 days and I'm almost to the Emerald mine and I haven't spent a penny on the game. That is what I love most about this game is the fact that you don't have to spend any real money on it to enjoy it. The game is very fast paced in the beginning and even as you advance throughout it, it remains pretty fast paced. It is not littered with ads at every corner, though you can watch ads to earn multipliers and reduce wait times on higher leveled shafts in the mines. You earn money while the app is closed and when you come back, you can watch an ad to double the amount of income you receive. Every mine has 3 sources of labor: the shafts to get the ores, the elevator to get the ores and the salesman that gives you the money for the ores. The fun of the game comes from hiring mangers with buffs to the 3 sources to maximize your income. If you play smart, you can earn a ton while investing about 80 percent less than you would normally.
I would definitely recommend this game.Show lessXoruss
