I wish I had mods on iOS ngl😭🙏

This game is terrible

You get punished for literally everything you do. Wrapping up a conversation, you lose reputation. Can’t find a toilet in 10 seconds, you lose reputation. Random people will fight you for no reason and when you defend yourself, you get arrested. The fighting is terrible in this game, your stats don’t matter because the AI will always just cheese their way out of things. The ads aren’t even the worst part of this game, Don’t waste your time.

Almost perfect but…

I just want to state that I hope MDickie reads this and takes it as constructive criticism and NOT personally because he has a history of being overly sensitive especially when you consider the types of games he makes (which is ironic) but that’s neither here nor there.

This game came so close to being the perfect prison sim/MDickie game but it falls short for multiple reasons that are quite hard to ignore. My number 1 issue is that I purchased the subscription thinking I unlocked perks like editor mode but whenever I max out my character’s stats it had ZERO affect on gameplay, and unlike Wrestling Empire the combat is even worse because my character’s has a 1 in 50 chance of countering an attack. Regardless of my maxed out stats. Whereas in wrestling empire you can get consistent counters.

Second major complaint is the excessive dialog. This game is borderline unplayable even with dialog settings turn to minimum. So many annoying pop ups it’s ridiculous.

Third major complaint is arrest frequency, I get arrested ever 2 minutes over anything including defending myself?? But the other inmates are simply free to do.what they please.

I also think an inmate “combat difficulty” setting needs to be implemented asa. Some characters are just ridiculous to fight and I have no clue why. I had 1 inmate counter every single attack or grab I attempted. Extremely annoying.

Overall MDickie is a legend but I find it increasingly difficult to find any enjoyment playing this game in the current state that it’s in.
