Extremely irritated
Well, this game was going alright for me. Probably a solid 3.5 stars, mostly because I couldnt figure out a few things within the game that had no explanation. I didnt understand how to get certain soldiers back, or what ticking them as blue meant. I couldnt figure out what my inventory was, even though it seemed like I had a bunch of stuff, or even if it applied to me right away, since I was new to the game.
I was willing to put it all aside because this game was so similar to the old Facebook game "City of Wonder". Now THAT was a cool game.
Unfortunately, I spent a week and a half playing this thing, even giving up my team in Boom Beach to build my village.........and then something that has never happened to me in any game, happened. It updated and all my progress was lost. Totally. It wanted me to start all over again, after everything I had done. Forge points are NOT easy to come by, and I had done a lot of research in that week.
Since I am a grown-up who only plays app games that pass the time, that was beyond frustrating, and I immediately deleted the game.
So take what you will from this. It is fun and cool, and I love the concept. But a lot of gameplay is not clear cut and then theres that tiny chance that all your progress will be undone by a simple update, of which there are MANY.
