Cool idea

Really keeps one busy growth is interesting

Carls Marx?

Game as fun until I noticed one of the leaders was Carl Marx! The communist founder. They put him up as a leader. Deleting game

StatesBuilder

It’s a good game but way too many ads to watch. Some ads are so long they kick you from the game. The owners of this game are trying to get rich quick.

Bad bots

Main game is fun and addictive. The mini game has aggressive bots with unlimited funds and time that ruin the fun.

Alright

I’m like 73 days in, found a bug where the resource value promised versus the amount I get from the city is not the same. Think 92k then the city giving 63k

Awesome game, horrible money grab

This game is so much fun, it keeps you engaged very well. Great mix between puzzle and leisure. Gameplay to me is 5 out of 5 no question. However the issue with this game is they shove money grab adds in your face NON STOP. Everything is a watch add or spend real dollars. It’s so disgusting it makes me want to uninstall. There is also no option to just outright buy a non add version, which is stupid. All they care about is getting your money. That’s it. Also the other reviews about playing against ai players is absolutely 100% true. I refuse to spend real money so I have 0 idea if you can even beat the ai, but no matter how hard you try, you can only get so far up a leaderboard. Love the game play, despise the disgusting money grab this game is. This game company should be absolutely ashamed of how they have made this only about your wallet. Deserves -5 stars for the money grab alone. Despicable!

Thumbs down

Great game, UNTIL YOU MONEY
GRABBED. It was bad enough and I still spent weekly. But now we can’t even upgrade our towns? BS

Update does not load

New update screen is black will not load will fix review once fixed

Bots for opponents

I played this game for two weeks. I realized today in the competition portion of the game that I was playing bots. In addition, the feature that allows you to gain coins offline for two hours only gives a small portion of the earnings for that offline time. I had destroyed the opponents ability to make coin, and the bits never compensated for the damage. Yet they still out gained my coins more than 2 to one. It’s a cute game, nut doesn’t play fairly.

Rhythm

In the beginning I feel it’s not even worth it for ads to get hooked into the game to even donate for some comfort. It also disconnects and makes you feel like you are collecting less while watching the ads

Levels are getting repetitive

I enjoy this game but all the levels are pretty much the same now.

And it would be nice if there were more levels with trains.

Trade

This is an interesting game. I gave it 5 stars. It is the first one I have played like it.

Ads

Fun. Until the Developers tried to get more money from ads by getting you to watch two shorter ads. Unfortunately, this causes the game to crash and you need to reboot constantly. What a shame.

keeps trying to initiate an in app purchase without me pressing the button

i have no desire to give you money and thats deceptive as fuuuuuuck man

More Ads Than Game, and It Kills Your Music

This game could actually be enjoyable, but the way it’s designed makes it incredibly frustrating to play.

A huge part of the game relies on waiting for money to build up unless you’re willing to keep spending money to speed things along. Fine, I understand free games need to make money. But then, while you’re sitting there waiting, the game seems to throw an ad at you about every 45 seconds to a minute. It becomes absolutely ridiculous.

Even worse, the game constantly interrupts music playing from other apps. I like listening to music while I play games, and States Builder will randomly shut my music off, even when there doesn’t seem to be any reason for it to take over the audio. I restart my music, go back to the game, and eventually it shuts it off again.

So you’re stuck waiting for money to generate, getting bombarded with ads while you wait, and fighting the game just to listen to your own music in the background.

At some point it stops being fun and just becomes irritating. It feels less like a game designed to keep you entertained and more like a vehicle designed to keep serving you ads or convince you to spend money.

I finally reached the point where I’d rather delete it than keep dealing with it.

Save yourself the frustration. I wouldn’t recommend downloading it. It’s not worth your time.

Merchants

I think an event with merchants would be fun!! Or add merchants to the events

Typical scam

The ad is not the same as the actual game play

Shows Promise. BUT…

Looks like a great game. HOWEVER! having to play by the rules of the almighty Devs? But time turnoff.

Awful! Huge waste of time!

I’m so mad. I’ve spent so much time on this game, only to get stuck on a level. Everything is maxed out, my clay bowls are stuck on 3/35, my quests are stuck at 10/11 and none of the clay pots are being sent to the rocket. I’ve emailed customer service, to only be blown off with “restart your phone” “make sure your app is updated” “close all background apps” etc. My loading and receiving docks are STILL glitching the hell out after the “update” to “fix it”. I’m not happy and I’m ready to delete this stupid app.

Terrible!

They make about $10.00 on you watching ads for about an hour of you trying to play the game!!! It’s so bad it overheats my iPhone. Banner ads! 3 minute repeating ads! Pop ups to pay them every few minutes!! The longer you play, the more ads they make you watch and it’s nearly impossible to advance!! Greedy app builders end up broke in the end!!!
Please don’t respond with some cheesy bs reply acting like you care about the people who play your game!
