The Spider Nest: Eat the World

Like the title says, it’s a great game but there’s too many ads for a 5 star game. I like strategy games but when you have too many ads that muck up the works, then it takes the fun out of the game. See if you can find a company that will sponsor you like unity. How about the blue spiders get up to the 3 house size? That will REALLY get the people in a tizzy! I mean, the main spider is a venomous spider beast, PLUS the 3 house size blue spider venom spitting spider plus the red spider soldiers. You should allow more spiders. How fast the people are killing them off and how slow they are allowed to grow and how fast the village seems to be popping up means the spiders are going to lose.

The nest gets attacked too often and that makes it hard to go out and kill, it wouldn't be that bad if I could upgrade my webs or the spiders meant to defend the nest stayed there and attacked people who attacked the webs but they do not. Bodies clip into the floor sometimes. Ads happen too often, I get it you need money but maybe make the ads you can watch to upgrade your spider for free disappear when you have enough money to buy them (my health didn't get upgraded way too long because I thought I didn't have enough money), also the frequency of forced ads breaks the game flow, maybe make them optional. I often have too much to do at once, defend the nest, get DNA, watch ads, go out and kill complete tasks, and keep up with upgrades, these on their own would be fine but all at once makes the game unplayable for me until it gets some updates. It's an all and all-and-all-good game concept and for that alone, it gets four stars.

I know this game is still in development but as of right now it doesn’t feel like it knows what to do. I think a lot of the issues are in balancing. Either the humans are to strong or my spiders are to weak and leveling up stats is so minor that it don’t make much of a difference. I really like the idea of building an army, defending my nest, and going out further and further to explore and get resources. However I can’t build my army because they die to fast, aren’t diverse, and don’t actually protect me. I can’t explore because I’m too busy trying to repair my nest defense and protect my offspring. Also resources seem to scale so expensive that leveling up or improving hits a brick wall. In my perfect vision of this game I would be able to upgrade my base and assign spiders to defend and repair the base. I would have spiders that go out around my base and collect the bodies and distribute the resource for food and meat for me. And I would be able to assign spiders to come with me when I explore. That would build an environment where over time my nest becomes a self sufficient base and the surrounding area because a danger to humans. Humans would have to come in bigger and stronger waves to even get to my base and as they do so I could collect the resources to keep my spiders alive and make more spiders as need to maintain the base. Then once my base is adequately safe and prepared for attacks while I’m away I could bring a small army of spiders to explore and grab the more valuable resources. Maybe it’ll get there or maybe it’ll go a different direction. But I hope the developer sees this and starts working on some improvements because I really want this game to be good but as of right now it’s just lacking.
