Crowd Control

I loved this game. I grinder like there was no tomorrow just because it was that fun. But NOW, this game is IMPOSSIBLE to play unless you watch ads. And on top of that, you don’t even have a chance unless you watch DOZENS of ads just for upgrades. Before this update, I was starting out with a few less numbers than the AI but I made up for it by having my troop towers generate a new troop every 5 seconds. Ever since the update, however, I now start with significantly lower numbers than the AI. I’m at roughly 35 troops and the AI start out with well over 100 causing them to follow you and never stop until you die, giving you 0 chance. And as if that wasn’t enough, their towers generate a new troop every second if not less than a second. In conclusion, this game is now unplayable unless I watch ads for maybe 2 or 3 days. I can’t even upgrade with coins because I die now within mere seconds of the start. So thank you. Thank you so much for that. I’m not sure what you all for thinking, but it didn’t work at all. I’ll keep the app installed while I wait for a fix, but know I have no hope of playing it until then. August 1, 2020. Updating my review. The game isn’t fixed from its “big” update. I went from troops coming out ever 1.5 seconds to 6 whole seconds for a troop. Used to be AI started with numbers similar to yours, now I’m at 40 while AI starts at 180ish and their troops come out in under a second. THIS GAME IS NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN. FIX IT OR YOU’VE OFFICIALLY RUINED AN AMAZING GAME.

Tons of ads. AI’s only target you and you can do nothing to give yourself an advantage. Nice premise, ruined by what ruins all mobile games nowadays: greed. Nobody makes a good mobile game cause they are passionate over it, just for ad revenue and money and this game is another example. Ad after every 2 minute level and trying to get you to watch an ad to upgrade your gameplay. The ai’s are poorly programmed and will not target other players, only you. As a result they will hunt you down taking the towers you just took 2 seconds ago and keep an advantage over you until you die. So you might think to upgrade your troops you spawn with or the tower spawn time. Nope, that upgrades them too. So what’s the point? There isn’t one. Mobile game companies are greedy. Get this cash grab garbage out my face and talk to me when you make a game you actually care about and not some passionless greed fest.

I deleted after playing for about an hour total. My main synopsis is that the game is fun for about 30 seconds until you realize it’s another clickbait game designed to put you at a disadvantage as to coerce you into watching as many ads as possible. The game doesn’t scale in difficulty through the levels, rather the AI will upgrade alongside you so you never have an edge. Here’s what I noticed: A. You earn coins every game and you can spend those coins on 2 upgrades. The first is an upgrade to your towers spawn time, and the second is an upgrade to your starting “crowd” B. You face off against an AI that will upgrade as you upgrade. MEANING that no matter how many ads you watch (coin bonuses), and no matter how many upgrades you buy, the AI will always have a leg up. C. Levels don’t correlate with difficulty. As I mentioned the AI will just upgrade with you. D. The AI opponents will target you and only you. This becomes frustrating since the AI will always spawn crowd members faster and will hunt you down, leaving you 0 chance of winning. E. The best strat is to avoid every AI and hide around the map while picking off abandoned towers. There’s no depth in the game. And for that reason, I’m out. Cheers
