It once was a fun free game
Now they even stopped the free daily building gifts. The only way advancing buildings is either pay or a (very) limited amount of ads (maybe 2 a day, some days none). More new features that are very incoherent, opening new regions costs an arm and a leg. I know I shouldn’t complain since it’s a free game, but in the beginning this game was fun with a very active community. Now, it’s just a money grab. Edit: help me understand - I had the ring road fully build, and after the last update you decided to remove stuff I built already. A warning to all people who consider spending money on this game. They might just take away what you already paid for. Update (July 2026): now they also removed the Military Base. Of course, they don’t care that you spend a very long time building and updating it. DON’T PLAY THIS GAME!!!

Not worth it
This game used to be rewarding and visually appealing to play but now it has turned into a chore that takes an insurmountable amount of time to complete even the small projects in the game. Even when you’re trying to progress naturally, they heavily monetize everything to let your city build faster but the in game benefits are not even worth buying. Each update ruins a component of the game, turning it into a RNG style of leveling up to collect these “tokens” to complete a building. This game used to have a soft spot for me but it has been entirely ruined by whoever is running the team now

Oh joy a new update
Updating now…. God I hope you guys actually tested this time.. well I mean after 12 years I do not believe you do any QA, UAT, regression you just make an update push it out close your eyes and just run with the disaster. This game WAS a good game years ago
Latest update .
With the last update for the military bases . I had equipment build up for all the bases sub, aircraft, personnel carriers. It’s all gone . Have to start from scratch. That’s garbage.
It’s changing for the worse imo
I've been playing this game for over 10 years across multiple accounts, and I have to say it's been getting worse over time. It feels like every update introduces another mechanic that takes away from what made the game enjoyable.
The most recent military update is a good example. Now you need blueprints to make meaningful progress, and the only realistic way to earn them at a decent rate is by buying what is essentially a battle pass. It feels like almost every interesting or worthwhile feature is locked behind it. These systems never used to exist, and the game was better for it.
The infrastructure mechanic is another change that just doesn't add much fun. More and more, the game seems to revolve around spending real money instead of rewarding players for simply playing.
I still think it's a great game—that's why I've stuck with it for over a decade. But I really don't like the direction it's heading. I think a lot of long-time, OG players feel the same way. I just wish the developers would stop adding unnecessary monetisation and mechanics, and focus on preserving what made the game so enjoyable in the first place.
