Gold and Goblins: Mining Games

As much s I liked this game in the beginning, I have played it long enough to realize I’m spinning my wheels. I get no where and after I finally get no where, it time to start over again. Sound fun to you? Me neither!! I’ve been trying to reach the levels shown in the ad for quite some time now, but have yet to get anywhere near that. I don’t think that level exist. I think it’s just an enticing ad to draw us in and the developers watch us beating our heads against the wall trying to advance. And when we don’t advance, they watch us dig deeper into or pockets to buy the magic wand that advances us to a higher level that really don’t exist. But we keep falling for it and the developers keep repeating the same old thing to all of us. Have you ever noticed their responses are a blanket that covers all complaints and they are always working on changes that NEVER happen. Will the real suckers please stand up! DEVELOPERS: Stop throwing blanket on our complaints and give us real honest answers. And is it necessary for us to have to sit through the same stupid game ads every time we do anything? Do you really need that many ads playing along with the millions buying power-up too?

DON’T WASTE TIME OR MONEY! First off the game works well. No glitches, smooth play, smooth transition between regular game and events and the graphics are on point. Initially I invested money into the game because after all who doesn’t want to see a good game get better? My low rating is because I keep getting cards for upgrades that I have already reached maximum level. I sent a message to the support team and was assured those cards would be needed in the future but that future’s future has come and passed and still no update. My point is that after a decent financial investment from me and a lot of time playing I continue to get low level upgrade cards for upgrades I have already reached maximum level on. Instead of rewarding players at higher levels for their investment into the game the game recycles the same low level upgrades. There isn’t even a tally of how many cards I have earned for those maxed out upgrades that I will use in the “future”. I believe in fair play and that includes the developers properly awarding rewards based on advancement in the game. I wouldn’t invest much time or money into this game if you’re a new player and I certainly won’t be spending much of either on the game.

The nerve of some people to make not just one ad, but multiple ads over 30 seconds. Advertising the same thing over and over isn't really a good selling point and quite frankly it makes the player want to download the game much less. When presented with a goal of getting to the end of not only a 45 second ad, but an entire minute advertisement and then having to wait *15 additional seconds* and doing nothing. Is this really supposed to make someone download the game? My main critique of the game is that at the surface, it appears to be just another idle game. However, offline idle games with no comp tend to be just a wee bit worse than online idle games. I'm glad to see this game move in another right direction. Anyway, no critique to the actual game, but the ads are horrendous. Mobile games are usually much worse so credit is due there. None of this is actually meant to be said about the game, but I oly downloaded it to complain about the strange advertisements. At least it isn't Evertale-level of ads. Actually, it's still false advertising as far as the beginning of the game goes. The whole concept of it being an idle game but a player controlling footage in the (did I mention multiple yet?) ads is already incorrect. I hope this review helps 6•12•22
