★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Just one line this Game is awesome.. But nowadays EA is pushing us to spend real money that's something I don't like.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Unoriginal, stole mechanics/gfx from Supercell's Hayday that don't fit. gameplay they did invent are horribly unbalanced, like expansion items that flood the market from oversupply, or items being much easier to get at low lvl. Don't tell you important things that take most players months to figure out, like not to level up when you haven't made enough simoleons, or unlocking new war cards makes getting war supplies harder. ads are obnoxious unless you linked a non-ad-personalized email account.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

typical micro transactions, doesn't feel like a game. the ownership are foreign terrorists murderers presently. my own biological brothers!!!!

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Its a pretty fun game if your in to making a nice little city Sometimes it is hard to make more money though Also warning some of the items you make later on in the game take 2+ hours to make

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

This game is good. It is 3d making it the best game to play, do tgat I choose not to invest 18 hours of my life to the game I have play on the same level for almost 2 years. cause it request so much of the personal life. so to keep my self occupied I destroy the buildings and start fresh at the same level. it has become rgis way from 2024 it is 2026 wonder if I die first or reach level 100 am on level 52
