Idle Farm Tycoon - Merge Game

Compared to other Idle games, this one almost feels like a rough draft. The game play is one level, no depth. Additionally, and I’m keeping this short, the game stalls out at a certain point. Running calculations, I would need to play 24 hours, 9 days straight just to earn the next level of vegetable. Once there, to afford a new slot of animal, it would be 115 days of non-stop play. The balance is clearly faulty, I’ve been stuck at the same place for several months, and the game is essentially non-playable (and therefore not payable).

When you start it has great pacing but you quickly get to a point where progress halts and it’s either wait or watch ads and personally I don’t respect games that would rather waste my time with wait times and ads…just don’t, devs, be better

I had a fun start to the game. Even spent real money. I can no longer progress. I have kept the game open 24/7 with a constant boost of 4x. I would have to spend 1000’s of dollars to even try to get to “aq”. Don’t spend money on this game. They try to get you hooked on it and then have you spend a lot of money just to get stuck at a certain level. This lack of progress has been complained about in reviews for 3 yrs. They don’t care because they are just in it to take advantage of people. Yes, I get it’s a business and making money is what it’s all about however, with this, they have gone to far into greed.

It’s been 3 years. You can see in the other reviews, everyone has the same issue. There is a point where it is impossible to progress. Like genuinely way too high a price with no room to place anything to get to a higher level. It’s an intentional plateau to make people feel desperate enough to spend money. However, all the upgrade don’t make any difference. They always say they’re working on it, but after three years, it’s obvious they aren’t actually interested in fixing the broken game. For shame.
