Advert Simulator

An attempt if a succinct summary will be provided. The game is like the adverts, so you will not be deceived from that. However, several issues with the game ruin it for me.

First and foremost, this game HEAVILY pushes you to watch adverts. You will almost definitely watch adverts for the premium currency and it will feel like you are wasting your life doing this. Second, the actual gameplay itself isn’t all that fun. It gets tiresome quickly. Different chapters have different designs, which is a genuine positive. Third, which links to second, progression is extremely difficult. You will likely have far more power than the recommendation to beat the chapter and will still fail. Thus, you will play the same chapter over and over. It doesn’t feel like it’s designed for a fun and engaging game, it feels designed to get you to buy in-game content. Fifth and final, there just wasn’t much to do.

I want to clarify I did not get super far into this game. I did not unlock all content (most is locked behind completing chapter levels). Perhaps there is a hidden gem which makes the game more fun.

TLDR;
Game isn’t different from ads; fun is short-lived; becomes advert watching app; chapter difficulty feels like it’s designed to get your wallet rather than get enjoyment from you; not all that much to do.

Response from developer

Thank you for the detailed feedback. We hear your points regarding ad reliance, chapter difficulty spikes, and repetitive progression. Balancing stage difficulty and refining reward pacing without forcing ad views are ongoing priorities for our adjustments.

Rollback of achievements

About two weeks ago, the achievements were rolled back by half a year. I stop playing this game . You have cancelled a few months of the game from life

Sayam’s review

This game is so awesome especially if u need a bordem buster. I love this game it’s very fun even though u do need service or internet

Fun game ruined by ads

Love the gameplay. Neat, stylish. But there is no way to remove ads. Even for the $40 they want for the “forever” no ad pack, they give you 20 ad skip tickets PER DAY. you’d still watch 10 adds per round for better bonuses to clear it or revive, so that covers you for basically 20 minutes. Seriously, the price of multiple full games on steam and you can’t even remove every ad. What a crock.

Way to ruin what could’ve otherwise been fun, greedy devs.

Fun gameplay, until the fan service

Game was really fun until unlocking the skins to find out most are just fan service. Super random in a game that has nothing to do with anime girls and was supposed to be a shooter game 😒 great to add another game to the list of garbage
