This comment is blatantly wrong and you can tell with the .1 hour of playtime. You can get anything you want for free, you have to be patient. This isn't an active game, you login for the day, play and do your dailies.I have not spent a dime on this game and my islands are beautiful and filled to the brim with rare/epic creatures. It is a free game and complaining about micro transactions is a critique that can be said for literally any free games especially mobile ports. You complain about "slow" menus but I don't quite understand what you mean as the only issues were how small buttons were on mobile (this is a PC version that's fixed).

This game also heavily incentivizes the player to make friends & get in groups as you can earn tons of keys, gems, food, and coins via tribes and gifted.
Also your "dark-pattern mechanisms" is just wrong.

I played a bunch of clicker games. None were as bad as this, or felt as predatory as this one.

If you got through their onboarding (which should be the most polished part of the game) and are enjoying it, I guess it’s not for nobody. But I can not recommend it to anybody - is what I meant.

There were far too many obstacles in front of the gameplay to make it worth it or endurable. For me anyway.

this game doesn't bait you into spending money you just have to be patient. after you go through the tutorial you can get cold island and a gem mine leveling you up to 12. Then you can start a Zynth farm making 1-2 per day early in the game. every 12-16 hours they each give you either 60,000 money, 12 gems, or 15,000 food. by then you should already have 10 monsters or more on cold and plant island. 2 elements at lvl 5 give about 1,000 money every 20 minutes. 3 element give more than 10,000/h. 4 element give like 25,000/h. You just have to play for more that 5 minutes. That, in my mind, is not enough time to give a review about a game. Now if you don't like this game I respect that and am not criticizing your choice of you decide you don't like this game. But this game cannot be a "this is for nobody" game based on 5 minutes of game play.

I removed Libers comment because of the disrespectful insult.

On what they wrote besides that; I found their argument to be quite dishonest or severely misled/besides the point.

Thanks for the review.

@Liber
I would even agree with you if it wasn't for that amount of microtransactions everywhere. First, in small steps of ingame-currency. From then it is only one little, additional step to real money. And that is the point if this game.
It is a waiting game, as you say, and if you play it as you suggest, no problem.
But if you don't have this patience? If you don't want to wait five days to see your monster grow?
Then the game quickly lures you into spending quite an amount of real money. Amounts that can be quite hard to keep track of.
It is an open trap, and that is why you should warn people about this game.

THANK YOU! I cant see why this game has very positive ratings.

Gotcha... the game sounds like an interesting concept but poorly executed. Will avoid. Thanks for the review. :-)
