This game is probably the best one so far. The only thing that I find a problem with the game is that you would have to spend your time with the app open to play the game and for someone like Me that works and needing my phone throughout the day the game would just be much better if it progressed when offline even if they cut the profit half. ### 3/5 — Adding lines *2026-08-25, version 2.0.3* Idk how to line the places up ### 4/5 — “ shut down “ *2026-08-23, version 2.0.3* Just started playing and really fw the game but now all my places I own got a red circle with a power button and just off how do I get passed this ### 3/5 — 1stAmendmentRightsPracticesUS Constitution of America *2026-08-22, version 2.0.3* 1stAmendmentRightsPracticesUS Constitution of America -Labor Light Practice ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this *2026-08-19, version 2.0.3* Been waiting for a game like this can’t wait to see what happens next ### 4/5 — More structured gameplay *2026-08-19, version 2.0.3* It’s Great I love the concept of the game but I wish it was more structured like the tutorial ### 3/5 — No tutorial *2026-08-18, version 2.0.3* Needs to be more hands on ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-18, version 2.0.3* Cool game to sit back and enjoy. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-18, version 2.0.3* 3YMEFW godfather code ### 5/5 — Please *2026-08-15, version 2.0.3* Very enjoyable game but could you add personal purchasable things like watches please, thank you ### 5/5 — Update *2026-08-14, version 2.0.3* I like the game I feel it’s pretty solid. I don’t understand what happened to the dealers in the drivers. And I’m kind of confused with new names in the kitchen and the mixtures is not simple like it was before the update also is very hard to transport. The different cities being trucks can’t go over so far UPS and etc.. ### 5/5 — Takes time it’s amazing *2026-08-14, version 2.0.3* No ads is hard to come by you guys did great on this thank you keep it pure!! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-14, version 2.0.3* Good ### 4/5 — needs some form of offline progression *2026-08-12, version 2.0.3* I really like the game but I just hate having to wait 5 minutes for the weed to grow and then 2-3 mins for it to dry and then 1-2 minutes for the money to get laundered. For me it’s just that I love everything else you changed and added so far changing to v2 of the game it is so much better and adding more business the other day. But I wish some form of offline progression could happen. Sorry for long rant . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing *2026-09-02, version 2.0.4* Bro this game is not worth it I kept trying to play it but it wouldn’t work half the time ### 1/5 — Not an Idle game! *2026-08-30, version 2.0.4* The developers leave a message about how the game is NOT an idle game because that’s just the game “playing itself”…. Most of us have full-time jobs and need sleep. Idle games help us by moving us forward even when life gets in the way of game time. Js ### 1/5 — Not a fan *2026-08-19, version 2.0.3* I’ve been waiting for cargo for a week now and nothing has happened can’t do nothin and it tells you to add a line in the shed when you can’t it’s only in haulers ### 1/5 — This game is terrible *2026-08-18, version 2.0.3* Not only is it painstakingly slow. You get zero instruction on anything. The developer won’t even reply to this because they suck as well ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-08, version 2.0.2* Pay to play smh ### 1/5 — Game sucks *2026-08-06, version 2.0.2* Game sucks they changed it and didn’t even offer a refund apple should ban these game from the App Store don’t waste your time game is trash asf ### 1/5 — Was better before this update *2026-08-04, version 2.0.2* Before the update 2.0.2 (18) it was so much more straightforward, easier, and UI friendly. It was complex but in a doable way that once you understood how to manage production, lines, etc it was addicting. Since the update, it feels very confusing, you can’t deal as much as you used to unless you buy dealing increasing with real money, they changed the names of all the products except for weed whereas before they had cocaine, heroin, mushrooms, fentanyl, etc but a lot of it is changed. For example cocaine is now Nova which is really confusing to adjust to. Another problem is that before the update you could hire dealers and the more dealers you had the more money you’d make and the money before the update was a lot more easy to understand. Not only can you not hire dealers anymore but the money aspect is really confusing now. If the market value of weed is $60 and I sell 10 units for $70 that would be $700 yet there’s just $2.1k out of nowhere that I have no idea how I got. It is very frustrating and very complex now and I would much prefer if they brought the old style back because it was much more fun and much more easy to understand. ### 1/5 — Line setup *2026-08-03, version 2.0.2* Literally played it for less than 5 minutes because I ran into a bug that wouldn’t let me setup a line from my farm to the shed ### 1/5 — Game freezes *2026-07-26, version 1.7.6* Anytime I go into the warehouse the game freezes I’ll prob just delete at this point ### 1/5 — The raid *2026-07-20, version 1.7.6* The raids be to quick. Like once you pay to get one of your business back. The raiding it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-09-04, version 2.0.4* Love this game I turned my neighborhood into a industrial drug network, I can see myself playing this for a while, thank you Developers !!! ### 5/5 — Very strategic and thoughtful *2026-09-03, version 2.0.4* I can see the developer took their time to make the game enjoyable and educational in a way. It’s fun to learn how things operate when it comes to running a business. Especially a business that takes time. You’re learning and growing your business while trying not get caught. And most of all having fun with it. So thank you. ### 5/5 — Addictive! (few things I’d add) *2026-09-02, version 2.0.4* I think this the closest game to an actual drug empire simulator. Few things I’d love to have in future updates: - More lifestyle and luxury things to buy and spend your money on (with realistic prices) - Would be nice to have rivals and ability to buy firepower and comrades - Having mabye a visual character of your player can really enhance the game. Even if it’s just Ai generated ### 5/5 — Great *2026-09-01, version 2.0.4* Great game so far ### 5/5 — The plug *2026-08-31, version 2.0.4* GTM ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-29, version 2.0.3* If you know where to place your stuff, you can lay low and build your empire. Wish it worked offline but eh, 5/5. ### 5/5 — 🔥🔥 *2026-08-27, version 2.0.3* Lowk peak so far ### 5/5 — nice *2026-08-22, version 2.0.3* yes ### 5/5 — Game *2026-08-22, version 2.0.3* Nice chill game ### 5/5 — Fy *2026-08-20, version 2.0.3* Fy --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
