### 4/5 — Great Game !

*2026-03-10, version 1.49.8*

Been playing for years at times not getting the crates is what motivates me ! I think all we missing really is other death squads or maybe creating in fighting .

### 5/5 — Best

*2025-11-27, version 1.49.6*

Best strategy game

### 5/5 — Trava pra karai

*2025-08-29*

Poxa amei joga esse jogo mas não consigo joga porque trava toda hora em 2 em dois minutos trava i não consigo joga
Mas meu telefone é um iPhone 11

### 3/5 — Oyun güzel fakat destek yok

*2025-08-10, version 1.49.5*

Oyun gayet güzel fakat menüler vs çok ilkel. Ve bariz mantık hataları var. Malikaneyi 10 level yapmam için 45k demir lazım ama demir depom 15k limitli ve geliştirmek için Malikanenin 11 olması gerekiyor 😬 üssün ele geçirildi bildirimi var tıklayamıyorsun, neresi hangi üs belli değil. Genel olarak öyle bir bağlantılı menüsü yok

### 2/5 — Joke

*2025-04-30, version 1.49.4*

Stop giving me capture informants at 12 at night I don’t know if anyone else has found this super annoying but obviously not going to be up all night trying to get em, also there needs to be a system where you can deposit materials if you have enough into a building like why is this not a think - again super annoying when you’ve nearly got the recourses and some helmet who’s spent 100£ plus on the game destroyes your base

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-04-20, version 1.49.4*

Trash

### 1/5 — Poor Developer quality. Many bugs and glitches

*2025-03-28, version 1.49.4*

There has been a Sicario, which was released in the latest season of Narcos Mexico in 2021. The Sicario‘s name was “Arturo Kitty Paez”. and his original character trait was “+35% Energy gain and +21% Fire Bomb damage. and it has been like that for years after his initial release.” However, as of last night, a new Sicario was released under the name of “El Centor” and has main character trait of “+180% to pet damage and 3 charges for their summoning” somehow replaced all of Kitty’s, character traits in the game to every player that bought that sicario. This seems like a glitch which there has been a lot of lately. I truly hope the developer fix this soon. As this should not really be happening in a game that i have been playing for nearly 10 years. I DO NOT ADVISE spending any money in this game as the instability and inconsistency in quality of the game has been so very prevalent since the new developer “tilting point” took over this game. You may not get what you paid down the road. BE CAUTIOUS!!

### 1/5 — Mal juego

*2025-03-10, version 1.49.2*

Una estafa en toda regla precios abusivos mal soporte favoritismos un mal juego aprovechan la nostalgia con precios abusivos no lo recomiendo

### 1/5 — Estafa

*2025-03-10, version 1.49.2*

Es una estafa en toda regla un pésimo soporte estafan a la gente con precios abusivos anticuados completamente no merece la pena jugar a este juego no ayudan a los nuevos jugadores no regalar nada tienen favoritismos jugar a mil juegos antes que esté

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-03-05, version 1.49.2*

Narcos is one of the best games ever created for a mobile device.

### 1/5 — Paid money, game doesn’t load.

*2026-05-07, version 1.49.9*

This is a joke, very unhappy, you invest time and a bit of money into a game then in just under a month’s time the thing won’t even load… disgraceful.

### 1/5 — Expensive

*2026-01-17, version 1.49.7*

This game is a straight-up money grab. Unless you pay, progression is painfully slow — upgrading your Sicarios takes weeks, and even then you’ll barely be able to take on a base before the game makes the next ones impossible.

Ads are everywhere, some over a minute long, for literally doing anything. Spending money only helps for a hot minute before the difficulty spikes again.

The devs clearly designed this to frustrate free players and push them into paying. Fun concept ruined by greed — don’t waste your time unless you want to throw money at them.

### 1/5 — My is not opening some is there

*2026-01-06*

My is not opening some is there

### 1/5 — glitchy game

*2026-01-06, version 1.49.7*

### 1/5 — Решите проблему со входом в игру

*2025-10-15*

Проблемы со входом

### 1/5 — Yenilik!!

*2025-10-10, version 1.49.5*

Yıllardır severek oynuyorum ama yıllardır da bir değişiklik yok oyunda hep aynı senaryo o kadar para kazanıyorsunuz biraz yenilikler yapın saldırı silahlarına eklemeler üs konusunda degişikliker yeni askerler getirin sadece parayla satış yapma peşindesiniz

### 1/5 — Не загружается.

*2025-09-09*

Удаляю.

### 1/5 — Bugs out

*2025-06-14, version 1.49.4*

Bugs out, when playing!

### 1/5 — Complaint and report a serious problem

*2025-05-19, version 1.49.4*

The only drawback and problem with the game is that you can't delete the account or create a new one. Due to a problem that happened to me, I can't continue playing with this account and I need a new account. I did everything I could, but it didn't work. I just have to try a new Apple ID, which doesn't make sense for a game. Please remove this limitation. The game Narcos has raised my expectations and I can't play another strategy game.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-25, version 1.49.10*

Get it try it. At the least play at work

### 5/5 — Jogo Bulgado

*2026-06-10*

Zero, impossível evoluir no jogo se os próprios desenvolvedores abandonaram o jogo……….

### 5/5 — Jogo Viciante

*2026-05-30*

Boa tarde, gostaria de dar uma sugestão aos desenvolvedores do jogo blz. O jogo em si não é mal não, porém o tempo perdido para fazer uma evolução rápida é o cúmulo do absurdo. Vocês deveriam fazer o seguinte do nível 1 até 10 ( 1 hora) do 11 até 20 ( 2 horas) seria muito melhor para equilibrar o jogo para todos. Eu sei que o tempo gasto em fazer um jogo não é nada fácil, mas o tempo perdido em qualquer evolução faz com que os jogadores abandonem o jogo e aí quem continua jogando é quem paga o pato todo tempo perdido numa coisa simples de ser resolvido, fica a dica blz.

### 5/5 — Jogo Viciante

*2026-05-25*

Excelente em tudo

### 5/5 — Come to console
