Pretty dumb
False advertising
The ad showed a family guy-esque game, which was the only reason I downloaded it. It is not that.
Also, what’s up with the image on the App Store that is based on Johnny Depp?

Not fun!
You spend 20 minutes of your life and no action especially of what’s advertised in the commercials. I do not recommend downloading it.
Bad
Jueguitos de M… en la publicidad muestran una cosa y cuando lo descargas es una basura
Scam!
Want to be the best player and spend thousands of dollars?!?! Download this game! They will gladly suck you I and make you spend a ton of money! Customer service? Non existent!
The usual game from an instagram ad.
Saw the ad with a girl that had a big jiggly booty. played game. saw no big jiggly booty. Uninstalled.
Not like the ad
The Max Payne like gameplay is nonexistent. This game is not like the ad that brings you here to download it.
Horrible game
They won’t let you delete your account. Filing a grievance against the game makers for identity theft.
I couldn’t stand it.
It was so incredibly boring you spend all of the game building up a useless town when all you want to do is the battle puzzles. I quit before my town center was level six. I don’t know how many hours working up to level six before it allows me to play a game.
Bait switch
It is incredibly common for mobile game advertisements to feature gameplay, mechanics, or high-end graphics that look nothing like the actual product you download. This tactic is often referred to as "bait-and-switch" advertising.
Here are a few reasons why you haven't seen that content after three weeks of playing:
1. Misleading "Mini-Game" Ads
Many developers create high-intensity puzzle or action sequences (like "pull the pin," "save the hero," or "horde survival") specifically for ads because they have high click-through rates. In reality, these sequences might only appear as a tiny mini-game once every 50 levels, or they may not exist in the game code at all.
2. Extreme End-Game Content
The footage might be from the "whale" tier of gameplay-features that are only accessible after months of grinding or spending significant amounts of money. This can include massive alliance wars, rare skins, or late-stage base evolutions that look completely different from the early-game UI.
3. "Vertical Slice" Cinematics
The video you saw might be a "vertical slice" or a pre-rendered cinematic. These are high-budget animations designed to show the vibe or the lore of the game rather than the actual engine the game runs on.
4. Regional or Beta Versions
Sometimes ads use footage from a version of the game released in a different region (like China or Korea) that has features not yet ported to the global version, or from a closed beta test.
How to check the "real" game:
If you feel like the game isn't delivering what was promised, you can usually find the truth by:
* Checking YouTube "Longplay" or "No Commentary" videos: Search for the game title + "gameplay" to see what the average minute-to-minute experience looks like.
* Reading 1-star reviews: Filter reviews on the App Store or Play Store for "False Advertising." This is usually where players point out exactly which features from the ads are missing.
If the core loop of the game hasn't changed at all in 21 days, it is very likely that the footage in that Facebook link was "target footage" rather than actual gameplay.

Wrong wrong wrong
What is seen in the trailers is NOT part of the game at all.
RIGGED!! BEWARE
This game is super rigged. If there’s an event and you want to earn the final reward, it’s tied to a purchase and even then, you won’t win! They make you dump money onto it and you still won’t get rewarded. The odds are very very low to get any decent rewards. It’s the most rigged game I’ve ever played.
Update
This game needs a major update on resource exchange 45 days is way too long
Devs Protect Scammers!!
This game is full of scammers! Don't trust anyone! The developers protect the scammers. If you put in a support ticket they will not help you. They keep creating new features but wont fix the bugs.
Remember you can get a refund!

Fake
Don’t be a scam and make your ad completely different that the actual game
Cartoony and Silly Looking
I was hoping this was a better or completely different version of the original west game but it’s a cheesy kids game. I immediately disliked the cartoony looking layout. Feels like a kids game. Having to scroll around to fight seemed lame. Not for me. If you’re looking for something like the original west game, you’ll be disappointed.
Misleading ad
Downloaded due to an ad that had a cool looking gameplay. I played 30 mins and the advertised gameplay is nowhere to be found. Why advertise gameplay that’s not in the game? Waste of time …
Disgusting and vile
The AD actually shows the character going into a saloon and grabbing a gal pulling her into the bedroom area and raping her! This is sick and does not need to be allowed! Especially with ads aimed at children! This needs to be removed!!
Bad game, bad ad
I played for a while and was unimpressed. It seems to be a city builder. Dime a dozen design and gameplay.
What made me want to write the review however was the very poor ad I just witnessed. Anyone using AI that poorly should be removed from making games.

Waste of Time
If you create an alliance and stop playing for more than 24hrs your alliance is automatically given to someone else and there’s nothing you can do to become the owner of what you created so for example if you were to buy diamonds then spend those diamonds to create an alliance and stop playing for 24hrs someone just gets your money/alliance for free so in technical terms the devs can steal money from you and give it to someone else. Dumbest rule I’ve ever seen.

Completely different then AD
This is completely different game then AD was, i mean literally completely different. So yeah 1 star
Crushes
I can’t even write a review bc the game keep on crashing.
Grooming
Knockout from the kv2 alliance on server 16 is a groomer I’m 13 and he’s being very dirty knowing I’m a kid
Slow and boring
Downloaded and started playing. 15 minutes in and I deleted, ads looked good, game isn’t at all.
Quickly becomes boring
Like similar games this is requires building, researching and gathering resources. Initially the builds are quick and there are a few other activities like bounties and fighting that keep you engaged. Unfortunately the activity times quickly turn from minutes to hours and ultimately to days and actually that wouldn’t be so bad but there’s literally nothing else to do. Events are infrequent and boring. Worse is that there are zero pvp battles. Everyone has their tied up gathering resources for hours upon hours so there’s no time for battles. Ultimately it’s a game with a lot of potential but progression times are too long and overall it gets boring after just a couple of weeks.
Nothing pulling you into the game!
There is nothing that is personal and connects me to this game. The town folk are rude, there is no community, this game is lacking substance. Characters, stories, something. I don’t care at all about these people. Make it more than a money grabbing game experience!
Whiteout Survival, but western
This is a copy of Whiteout Survival. They use the exact same template for features. I’m sick of the game cloning. I’ve come across so many of these games that are cash cows for developers and make PvP playing not fun.
Slow action
Everything lags in this game and is super slow. I also play Last War and that game is fast so it’s a huge difference, this game definitely needs more work.
Evaluation 2
Why do game developers overload the game with gadgets, making players bored? Too many gadgets mean I can't play 24 hours a day. I'm a professional gamer who only plays for an hour or two a day, and I can't play games like this. Therefore, I'm giving it a 2.
