No fun unless you spend money
Been playing since 6/2025 built myself up without spending a lot of money. Made it from a very small alliance to top 3 on my server. However it’s a lot of drama going on bw alliance on the server. Big spenders picking little alliances it’s all becoming too much. I’ve moved servers once I’m over doing it again. Devs won’t do anything bc it’s money for them. Download at your own risk it’s not fun big spenders taking over the game forcing the regular players out.
The attacks
Once you build up your recourses, you get attacked when you are offline so many times, and you lose all your stuff and you have to pay real money to get it back. I spent money on this for a starter pack so I do not like this game.
Pay to play sink hole
I used to enjoy this game was playing daily for over a year, VIP 11. It’s become so un enjoyable I don’t even like logging on. I really shouldn’t have put so much money into the game.
Not at all as advertised
Literally nothing in the description or the ads is in the actual game. Nothing.
Locked out
I wanted to create another account as I’ve seen others do. When I did that, I somehow couldn’t get back to my original account that I spent many hours on and also money. I gave them the ID number and server etc.. but it wasn’t enough and I can’t remember the exact date and time of my original account creation so they said they couldn’t help me? My new account is sitting right next to my original jail and they can’t find it nor help me get back to signing into it? Unacceptable!
Way too much AI
This games assets are almost entirely reliant on AI. On top of that, it is also weirdly sexual involving have to x-ray busty women to “find contraband”, so beware letting kids play.
Not at all like the ads
Nothing like the ad I saw for this, also pretty sure this thing is littered with ai assets
Otro anuncio engañoso
Si el juego fuese así de verdad sería muy bueno pero de la manera que es se vuelve aburrido
Not correct advertisement
game play is different than the advertisement, removed it ,, gameplay is bad… i’d rather give minus stars but its not available
No support, pay at your own risk!
I’ve been enjoying the game for some months now, and I’ve invested a good amount of money competing in events and leveling up my power. However after this Easter event, there is constant lag issues, and game crashes, which I get happens from time to time. I made the mistake of purchasing from the LOJ official game site where they charged me 9.99 for an Easter bundle.(I bought two because I wanted to get a better score) I only received one. I’ve spent 5 days trying to get some clarity through support and all they have told me is that one purchase went through. Now the event is over and I’m out 10 dollars. So if you spend money on this game, be wary, you might be getting more ripped off then you already are. The prices are already outrageous. Save your money, just take your time and upgrade for free!
Absolutely terrible trash game. Don’t get it
First off game seems normal bun prison simulator. After about 5 minutes your hit several things that makes the game super super trash. The buy items to advance some seem like great idea. But the game scales to the point where there is 75 different buttons around ur screen to press random notifications and pop ups. The game becomes more of a cortisol stress manager and no longer a game. Give it hour or so and it’s not even close to the same. By second day u wish u refunded everything and delete. It’s abhorrent. Good game idea turned total trash.
Harassment
I have been being harassed by a player that has 2 accounts in 291 so bad I don’t feel safe playing anymore the bases names are Julyie and juju they are in 2 different alliances one is in TUR the other is in TuR please resolve this problem.
Please
Please
.
I was only able to open the app once and now it’s no longer working
#88
There is a REASON that this game is #88 in ‘Strategy’……It takes ZERO STRATEGY. It is a fake-take from old games, but the people are younger and cowards. Terrible app. TERRIBLE APP
Scammers galore!!
Overall, it’s an interesting game until you get to the alliance part where you have to join the alliance most alliances wanna know your location in your age and your Discord handle now the developer will tell you that that’s not necessary but basically to join any alliance the scammer bots will force an interaction with you or they boot you out of the alliance. The developers need to get a handle of that before this game has any success at all. I joined about 15 alliances in 1 hour time frame and all of them were ran by bots!!
Abuse and toxic
This game has nothing about abusive and toxic players the support allows on their platform . They don’t protect thier users private data and there are stalkers that will trace your Ip to get your data and post into their platform. This is not only highly dangerous for your kids but for you as an adult. We received death threats from users who had their bases attacked in game to our personal devices because of this data leak. The advertising is false advertising as the game is nothing like the advertisement . BEWARE!!
Money sink
This is NOT a prison tycoon! This is an RTS game and if you can’t sink thousands upon thousands of dollars you will not sustain. The devs only care for money and we made it to SvS, they match us against a server that has ONE person that spent several thousands just to beat us an entire server. It’s a joke and waste of time if you can not spend to win. Utter waste of time.
Lacks creativity.
You can pay for anything except what you like in this game. Very lame of the developers to keep limiting us this way.
Bots and rip off
The game is filled with Bots and your forced to play how your server wants or burn :) day 7 and the top alliance is already burning people. Plenty of games just like this but run more smooth compared to this game.
They don’t allow you to delete the game
Asking a lot of radicular information by stating for security reason such as purchase info and creation date. Who will keep that ? From the terms and service, it stating user can terminate the account anytime. But it’s not! I can access the account by getting support via the account. What else you ref that?
Full of Terrible People
Game is fun until the server drama begins. And there’s an egotistical jerk harassing you and your alliance and making threats that they won’t leave you until you quit the game…devs need to do more about the bullying that occurs in world chat. ruins the game for many
Total garbage game. Find something else
Could be a decent game with some controls in place but there are none. You constantly get attacked by players 2 and 3 times your level with no means of defense. Member of a top 10 Alliance but there is ZERO protection against others during a “48 hour event” where the top players on the server literally attack everyone and destroy all their troops, despite getting zero resources. Don’t waste your time. Find a decent game. This is not it.
too much ads
You should not get the name; there’s too much. It’s like saying you have to watch ads; it’s forcing ads at you.
Takes too much space
Requires you to delete so much apps just to run it
Women’s Prison Ads?? LIES!!
I played the game for awhile once before and found the theme fun but it’s really just like any other serotonin tapping time suck. You get sucked in with progress, hit a wall, join an alliance, blah blah blah. The reason I came back was because of the advertisement that showed you could have a female prison, so I thought “That’s neat, it must be a new feature, maybe I can do like an Orange Is The New Black thing.”
Nope! Just false advertising like every other mobile game now. Everybody just makes ads that look way funner than the actual game is, and it’s just like.. why not just either add the thing you advertised or remake the game into the much funner thing you advertised? It wouldn’t even be hard to add a female prison option, it’s literally just sprites. In what world does anyone like being LIED TO?? STOP LYING TO EVERYONE!!
I’ll change my rating if you tell me how to get the women’s prison YOU ADVERTISED!!

Garbage
Game is not even close to what the ad shows
Their support is stupid.
They cant even tell you what got you muted, or manually reverse the mute. The mute gets triggered over the stupidest things, like things you talk about in alliances. Dont get this game, and if u do, dont give them any money. They say its about fairness, but its not. Its them trying to have a good gaming experience according to them, not according to players.
Pay to win losers
People drop hundreds of dollars to have no skill and to be amazing at a phone game. I believe people who pay to win are complete losers they have no skill or patience. The pay to win players just destroy everyone else who is just trying to enjoy a game and play it casual not allowing them to grow to any capacity. So it’s trash and the pay to win players are trash.
Scammers and waste of money
You can spend a lot of money here just to have someone with more power get upset and destroy it all. Then they will run the whole server. Built up for a year just to have some idiotic alliance get upset at ours and attack us to the bare minimum. Deleted the game after
Spend to win
If you’re not going to spend don’t bother playing this game you’ll get no where unless you’re spending constantly.
Toxicity and money wasting
I have been playing this game for about six months… I have put money into this game hundreds of dollars. They are all about the money yet you’ll put money in to build your prison just for other people to wipe you out because you contested a center. Clearly, the people that made the game don’t care about the game as well. As quickly as you put it on, be prepared to delete it and DONT USE $$$$ it’s a waste of time. It could be fun if they would put a stop to the toxicity. I would post the picture of them basically telling me that they don’t care, but there’s nowhere to post a picture.
Used to play this game until I saw the ads
I used to play this game a lot in 2025 it reminded me of the Mobile Strike days in the 2010s, however the countless amount of false advertisements about this game I’ve seen is just ridiculous and it has gotten to the point where I’ve deleted the game.
Terrible ads
Their ads break the game for them and other games that they advertise over.
Bots everywhere
Overrun by bots making the game not worth playing
Tedious
Tried it, deleted it the same day. Lots of monotonous tapping. Tap here to tell you to tap here to tell you to tap here to then either give them money or go back where you started.
Religious insult
I was really upset When I realized that all the prisoners at the beginning of the game have long beards and generally looked like Muslims which is offensive and racist.
Not as advertised
The advertisements of this game aren’t like the gameplay at all…I would rather play the ads…
Lands of Jail
Never got a chance to hardly play the game. As soon as you get to a certain point and you’re able to talk on the chat, everyone wants you to come and join their alliance. They also want you to join discord. Had the worst experience there people wanna know your age where you’re from and then they want you to join another game. And after all questions have been asked and you don’t meet the criteria you could get kicked out of the Alliance. I’ve been kicked out of five alliances because I won’t join another game. This is a waste of time and if this is how you developers work, y’all should be ashamed.
You’ve gotta be minding me.
My account got suspended for 72 hours all because a little annoying Alliance owner falsely reported me just because I didn’t respond to his private messages fast enough for his taste. He was being pushy about my Discord link and I could not stop to reply at the moment, because I was busy doing something away from the game. I am just beginning the game and I’m too low level to even talk in the private message area (LvL 9 Warden Office required). If these are the types of players that are playing this game, I’d rather not. Dev’s investigate a report further before you take rash action. Uninstalling this immediately.
Broken for new players
I’m at a point where I need wood to get my Warden’s Office to lvl 4. Doing quests gives you wood, however I got raided by another player. I haven’t even unlocked the way venture out of my prison and I’m attacked by people WAY higher level than me. My wood was taken and now I can’t upgrade, as quests were the only way I can gather wood as a lvl3. I had to spend what diamonds I had just to roll for resources.
The alliance is horrible
I tried to join at least six different alliances always asking for discord even though there’s already a chat in there it doesn’t need a Discord and I kept getting kicked nonstop and then they muted me for no reason all because I respectively said I did not want to do my personal information
Won’t let me download it
🙄🙄🙄
Help Please
Ever since I updated my phone I can’t get in the app 😭😭 help please. Will change my review when it’s fixed if possible.
Uses other gameplay as own
Advertised other game’s gameplay as its own. The game it advertise as it’s own is Prison Architect. Wish these games would get sued for pulling BS like this.
Pay to win
Don’t believe the ads this game is no different than all the others. New decor, same old concept to keep you spending. Wtf, can all you bright minds, not come up with a new concept. Idiots!
Fun for awhile
Pretty fun but unless you are willing to drop over 200 dollars just to “kinda” play you can get to about level 17 then it becomes just dead with nothing to do. Literally no way to obtain hero’s that will let you progress except to buy the vip packs. First one is a dollar, then 3, then 20,then 50 and that is just to get 1/4 of the 1st and not even unlock all part of it. So 25 buck to get half of one and you need min of 3. So you’re looking at a grand in micro transactions to unlock everything lol.
Bots
The game is seeded with bot clans. AAA or QQQ with the same greeting when you join them. When you point out they are bots and not expanding the clan they kick you out. After the 3nd time I deleted the game.
It’s great but
I doubt the devs look at this but I would love to gift a package to someone like many other games have. Like a pass weekly or monthly. To give out for clan rewards or up whatever.
Change the name
They should call this game lands of alliances. When you play you’re targeted by alliances under nap that claims to protect the players from being attacked but in reality they are the ones who attack if you don’t confine to their rules. When you don’t join they troll you or constantly attack you or mark you as bad so other alliances don’t get involved with you. Won Wan ImF and out are all under nap but yet they attack players who aren’t. My advice to any isolated players is to keep your shield activated at all times. Set an alarm clock to reset your shield and if you want your own alliance join a quick join alliance and wait until the leader stops logging in so you can impeach them to gain the alliance. Choose your battles wisely because Nap makes fake accounts to interject themselves into other peoples beef which destroys the purpose of nap.
