### 3/5 — Can’t play

*2024-06-19*

I would love to play this game but it keeps telling me to check my internet connection even thought I’m connected to the internet with full bars

### 2/5 — Banger soundtrack, everything else is a mess.

*2023-12-13*

Music goes SO hard. I wouldn’t recommend the game at all, but unironically I listen to the soundtrack pretty frequently despite never playing beyond a few minutes.

### 2/5 — Would be fun but sharply drops off when there are no more missions

*2023-06-30*

Seeing most players leave around level 13.

The gameplay is great, but the daily missions really help keep the pace and without them, I feel less pressed to actually open the app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your suggestion! We will continue to work hard to improve our game and hope to bring you a better experience!

### 3/5 — FLASHING LIGHTS!!

*2023-06-11*

Not a bad concept but waaaay too many flashing lights, glitch effects and strobing with absolutely no warning meant I couldn’t progress very far. Hesitant to give a bad rating because I never got to play much of the actual game.

### 3/5 — It’s not fun unfortunately

*2023-06-11*

I can see what they want me to do and I can see how I’m supposed to enjoy it, problem is it isn’t fun… I stuck with it but I didn’t enjoy the tasks I miss fun creative games this obvious manipulation and task based collection bores me

### 2/5 — Unplayable

*2023-06-11*

I have downloaded this game and selected my language then where it says to accept terms and conditions it just says connecting to earth and something about user status request. 
I was looking forward to playing this game.

### 3/5 — a good example of why chatGPT should not be allowed to write and resign a game.

*2023-05-31*

this game is a huge disjointed mess.  the devs have indicated that they used chatGPT in its design as well as in the writing of the story.  what makes it twice as bad is that they used a poor translator or translation algorithm (or chatGPT itself) to translate it from their native language to english.  what you end up with is something that looks pretty cool from the outside but makes absolutely no sense when you actually play it.  

Everyone talks about fears that AI will take over the planet and end humanity, but if this is the best it can do, i don't think we need to fear it at all.

### 4/5 — Looks interesting so far

*2023-05-26*

Saw the game and decided to give it a go, looks good honestly.

1. The game runs smoothly and it’s easy to interact with.

2. So far the story looks fairly unique, I quite like how the game has small lore dumps about the characters and the history of how humanity got to where it is now in the game.

3. It seems relatively bug free.

4. The pixel style - honestly its a refreshing change from what the majority of games use these days.

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2023-05-16*

I think it’s a really cool looking game but I can’t play it :( . I am stuck on the connecting to Earth signal prompt. I have tried every button and checking every box yet it gives me the same error; “requesting user status info.” I’m not sure what to do at this point, I don’t want to delete it or give out a bad score but I think this is a big issue that needs to be addressed. I can’t wait till it’s fixed and finished X).

### 3/5 — good.  could be better with updates

*2023-05-15*

i’ve been playing this for about 3 days now, and have a decent number of hours so far.  overall, it’s a pretty good game.  it’s got a pretty addicting gameplay loop and doesn’t seem to have anything annoying random stuff that messes with you.  they also don’t shove ads down your throat unless you want bonus stuff, which is fair.

i also really love pixel style graphics, so for me, this got me interested right away.  the gameplay itself has a few different elements: building, resource management, and combat.  all 3 are solid but there are some issues that can be frustrating. 

1.  sometimes you can’t exit or leave a screen.  whether it’s a tutorial or just a random instance when you’re playing, you’ll get stuck on a screen as you’re navigating through the ui and have to reboot the game to resume playing.  

2.  items will become “stuck” during architect(build) mode.  you won’t be able to highlight certain items and will have to exit the mode and then enter back in.  the game will also say you can’t place an item even though there’s nothing obstructing it.  these aren’t the biggest deal, but it can get annoying if you’re rearranging your city and you have a lot of stuff placed down.

3.  during combat, the “button” you use to stop the pointer doesn’t work a lot of the time.  you’ll tap the screen to stop it but nothing happens.  you’ll then have to tap it over and over again to hopefully get it to stop.  this is pretty annoying since the combat’s all about timing, so constantly having to tap to stop the pointer can cause you to miss, and even lose a battle.  i’m playing on the newest ipad pro but get the same issue on my iphone.

4.  micro-transactions.  i’m not saying there shouldn’t be any, but they sell characters and don’t tell you how they’re levelled up/evolved at any point if/after you buy them.  i’ve held off spending any money in this because i’m not sure how that works.  for example;  if they’re selling, “x character”, does that mean they’re added to the character pool in the gatcha system once you pay for them?  it says it’s a one-time only purchase, but you can upgrade all the free characters up to 5-stars, so do the paid characters start at 5-stars?  how do you get more of them if it’s a one-time purchase only character?  would be nice to have some clarification on this.

those are the things that make this a 3/5 for me.  if they fix those issues and continue to support the game to improve the quality of life, it’d be an easy 5/5 for me, and i’d gladly support them by buying stuff.  they seems to be doing things right in terms of not being greedy and letting you play without being like, “hey, you know you can speed things up and have better stuff if you spend more money, right???”.  that being said, as it is now, it’s pretty rough around the edges and doesn’t exactly instil confidence for me to spend any money yet.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support and feedback. We have received and carefully reviewed them.

### 2/5 — Cool stylish game, crashes often.

*2023-05-14*

Cool looking and stylish game for as much as I've been able to play, unfortunately the game crashes and closes repeatedly at the Cybernoid Development screen. I haven't been able to progress past that screen :(

### 1/5 — Do not buy anything

*2024-09-20*

They have taken key parts of the game out and you can still buy them as in limited time cards when the function has been taken out I’ve only realised after buying 70 of them surely that can be classed as a scam I used to play the game a lot when it first came out but it seems like it’s going to be shut down don’t bother wasting your time or money game had a lot of potential but it has taken off

### 1/5 — cant even play

*2024-06-21*

the fact that im connected to wifi doesnt seem to register whenever i open the app, which means i cant even get past the title screen. great game!

### 1/5 — Bug crash on load

### 1/5 — What the hell??

*2023-07-13*

Can’t even get past the privacy policy page. I clicked the “yes you can spy on me “ because that’s essentially what the whole thing is, but the game is just stuck there. 

Avoid.

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2023-08-03*

Game is hard to describe. City builder mixed with rpg elements. Dystopian. Good atmosphere and music. A little confusing getting the hang all the things to do but nonetheless pretty impressed by how much there is in this free game. Not sure how the reviews are so low—should be a 5 star game.

**Developer response:** Appreciate your support, we would keep up improving the game quality to bring you a better experience.  In addition, you can add FakeFuture Discord: http://discord.gg/rAyFZEJwbu

### 5/5 — Where did this come from?

*2023-07-15*

I try to keep up to date with mobile game releases, but this one has somehow managed to skip under my radar.  It’s only because I’m sitting here with the flu that I decided to take a punt on Apples recommendations for me - mostly through boredom.  

And I’m so glad I did (so far).  It’s smooth, beautifully presented, has excellent music, and looks to have a lot of depth as well as humour, and an interesting story.  Honestly, I’ve known nothing about this, but am really looking forward to going in deeper.

Bravo, Devs!

### 5/5 — About my newly acquired characters are always working

*2023-07-02*

My newly acquired characters are keep working(she worked for almost three days, even I had no product in production), I can’t use her for adventure, so I was wondering where can I find her?

### 5/5 — Creative Dystopian Game

*2023-06-07*

I love all the aspects about this game, the base building, the exploring, and what seems like endless things to discover within the game that are obtainable. The game seems very fair to progress and is at a good pace. And what I love about it is all the cool lore it has with nice stories and cool characters. Even if that isn’t your thing, the game can be enjoyed with out it. Keep it up. And love what this game is about

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-05-19*

I have played this game and it is amazingly addictive

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support, survivor! We are glad to provide you with a great gaming experience and hope you continue to enjoy Fake Future!

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2023-05-12*

Unique art style, brilliant story telling. Fake future is an example of how to take a normally overdone gameplay loop and make it fresh with intrigue while also making you feel right at home. This game is an example of the greatness to be found on the iOS platform. Ignore they naysayers and let yourself get lost in this work they’ve created. You won’t regret it.

**Developer response:** Appreciate your support and love, we would keep up improving and bring you a better game experience.

### 5/5 — Fake Future Game Review

*2023-05-09*

Epic!!! Reviews from "Future", one of the few games that will always be on my phone. The gameplay and content of this wasteland punk game is mainly about construction and exploration, which easily satisfies my desire to collect and gradually increases my interest. I only do three things in the Fake Future: adventure, build my house and raise a dog!

**Developer response:** Your review made our day! We are glad that our app was able to meet your needs. Thank you for your support!

### 4/5 — Good game but it could be better

*2024-07-10*

This game has couple bugs here and there like redeem shop is missing, or crashes here and there. The game is designed with ChatGPT which does cause the game to seem like a big mess of different features, which is something i actually like a lot. Makes it more fun.one thing that is very poor is translation and i somewhat think the AI in the game is a bit self conscious. The repeating message literally said “the repeating messages (you are seeing) are an error in the code by developers.” Its a bit weird and it makes me scared of AI.

### 4/5 — Laggy but fun collector

*2023-08-22*

Have been playing a few months, every day. It won’t break any records for programming finesse, but it’s a really engaging collector game.

### 4/5 — Great game with one slight bug.

*2023-05-31*

Firstly, i just want to say that the game is wonderful! The story is fun and building an imaginary future like what the game promised is enticing. While yes, there are slight translation issues with the English version (at one point, the text was all in Mandarin instead of English) and the storylines/diaries/pedia can be a little wordy, overall the game is fun. However, i’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if this is a bug or not, but i am unable to build anything outside of the original area. I’ve successfully expanded my territory but i’m unable to place any building in this new open patch. Other than that, the game is great and I look forward to progressing through the levels :)
