if I could give zero i would. I never write reviews but I decided to for this game. how it has anywhere near 4 stars is beyond me. the tutorial if you wanna call it that is useless. doesn't teach you to do a single thing. I had to Google how to play the game. and it is beyond complicated you get no results for anything and it doesn't tell you how to do anything. absolutely ridiculous!
virtually unwinnable. I have tried following online guides, played hundreds of maps for eco strike on hard. nothing works. bring back the ability to focus policies on one continent. I have paid a lot of money towards Inc series games, but not a penny goes on this one if progression requires £4.99 to move past an unwinnable map. I'm seriously disappointed as I've never found a map fully impossible before, have played all Inc games.
I don't like the game the way you need to buy the other levels and this game was premium I'll spend my money to play this game but it's still not worth it...
Pointless objectives 1) why do I have to deal with asteroids and epidemics? 2) how can a parameter such as forest go down at a speed of yearly 60%? 3) why don't making forests contribute to CO2? flaws 1) why national parks are regional projects but continent wise regulations aren't? one continent needs the fishing ban and another one needs waste sorting. 2)earth is flat according to the devs. so volunteers have to travel longer. 3)staring at 2019 half of the eco system goes to 0% before 2021
mostly reading no strategy
it is insanely hard game
I would rate this higher if it was a free app. The game points system is unbalanced and unforgiving compared to the developers previous games. To unlock levels you need to complete the level on hard difficulty, which i have found impossible to do without IAPs. Avoid.
I don't know. when it gets to the more difficult situations it's just waiting to get points to maybe be able to deal with it. there's no strategy I can see about it. hard pass
Impossible to win levels even when using booster points that must be bought. The game has great ideas, but it needs some serious help.
Malwarebyte detected this game as a virus
Cute idea, but very broken. It erases progress if you leave the game and the tutorial doesn't work. I like the idea but horrible implementation.
paid for premium and you're still being pushed micro transactions yeah nah f y'all
new update is worthless and sucks
is it just me or am I bad at the game? it's impossible to win in the "impossible difficulty" and what's the point of VOLUNTEERS IN THE GAME. I never found the use of the volunteers ever
I believe there was no research put into the content of the game, and it's very anthropocentric. Nothing about animal agriculture? and how it's one the main causes of deforestation and greenhouse gases, let alone the abuse to animals which are also part of the earth and the ecosystem
Fire doesn't stop, Poacher doesn't stop even after necessary action... It gives more anxiety than peace
The glitch won't let me progress. I was really enjoying the game until then. I completed Save the Animals on hard made but for some reason, the eco disaster for one of my regions never cleared so it was stuck unable to improve. At the same time, the auto collect for my points also stopped so I had to click on them manually
great idea for a game how ever seriously lacks any information on how to play I spent a while playing beat easy mode first go ( honestly don't know how ot did) and couldn't make progress with medium. I feel the game needs a tutorial explaining how to address each issue so you can effectively play it. hope it's added in the future but for now I'm not spending hours googling how to play. check back in the future and see if they update it with an explanation tutorial of the game mechanics.
Definitely an educational tool more than a game. maybe 12 and under would enjoy this, but luster lost within 15 minutes.
