Hempire - Weed Growing Game

(Updated following dev response) This game is really fun and a good time passer! The art direction is pretty solid, and the grind isn’t too bad. However, the monetization is pretty aggressive. Things get expensive quick, and you are constantly pushed to spend money in ways that seem excessive compared to what you get. Some quests require you to simply just view the paid options, with paid things popping up upon initial login each time. VIP being subscription instead of one time purchase is a little disheartening and ads are in place that, while pretty much entirely optional, almost become a requirement should you not want to spend a not insignificant amount of real world cash. I do agree with the developer response there’s plenty of ways to earn gems, gem costs just tend to run pretty high and will take you out of what you’ve earned by play pretty quickly. I don’t mind tossing a couple bucks in here or there because I do find that I love the game, and I definitely appreciate such a responsive dev team and it shows there definitely is real care and dedication from the team that goes into it. I’ve decided to bump up to 4 stars as 3 was definitely too low even with my initial impressions of it and really just the monetization prices are the only thing holding me back from a solid 5. It’s educational on the history and culture of weed in America, it knows what it’s talking about and how things work, and I do really like the story of using the power of weed to help a local town!

Updated: Hempire is adding new content to the game! It’s updating now! Can’t wait to see! I’ve been playing the game for the past year and thought I was progressing nicely, until someone in my enterprise showed me the highlights of trading in the dispensary and global market. After upgrading and maxing your factories and houses, and trailers... upgrade the town... it starts to get boring... until the trading was introduced to me! The other players used a different term, but I call it GROWTH with STRATEGY! Grow your strains, do City Hall Tasks, sell your goods in the dispensary and buy goods in the Global Market! This is where you can spend more game time, and GROW to one day reach Hemperor status! The Enterprise is great to trade with your team, but again... boring, and too limited. Has potential, but Hempire is not focused on making the Enterprise better for gameplay. Suggestions have been sent and ignored. Customer Service is touch and go! They are currently rooting the answers, which is so not cool. They are currently no addressing the issue submitted, so it is either someone that can’t read or a robot! Service used to be stellar - but it has dwindled tremendously and I have to rise to Hey - I’m not stupid and this isn’t the first time on a computer or this game! Then, I get attention by a brain! Other than that, the game has great potential to be even better - if they listen to the players input! Not for children!

I got into this game because I have become bored with Wiz Khalifa‘s weed farm which I still play but it became to be a bit repetitive and I wanted a cannabis growing game that was more detailed in involved with the cab is growing process. You know Jessica something a little different. I happen to see an ad about the game and downloaded I was really excited and enjoy did it first I get the wording on plants select your strain breed strains clean up the city increase net worth various other things. I did get a little frustrated with the game after a little bit because being that the game is structured like a cannabis version of GTA there are certain things that you have to do before you can progress to other levels and do other things being a novice at this I wasn’t aware of how to get around it but once I read the guide which is easily accessible directly from the game it was much easier to learn what to do. The challenge and nature of the game I like because I don’t like Wiz Khalifa‘s weed farm is not a simple love pick a strain have to get some coin harvest them and start over this game actually takes thought and strategy to play which is why I like it especially since I’m starting to really get the hang of it now. Empire is a really good game for those that want to play weed growing game where you have to strategize and you want to game that’s a little bit more involved in terms of building an actual cannabis business.
