4 stars: As many others have stated, while there is lots to do for free players, you can only play to a certain point before being locked behind a paywall. Which sucks because it really is a great game. But if you can't/won't spend money, you end up wasting hours of gameplay all for nothing. And just a little FYI, the video ads showing the game look absolutely nothing like the actual gameplay.
3 stars: Nothing at ALL like the ads... Liars get bad reviews... Well... Its relatively okay despite the lies, but its just a stereotypical game. Its the type of game where you have a little base you build buildings on, and tnen you click
2 stars: I am truly disappointed. I used to play this game and it was actually about survival, managing your townsfolk, taking care of them. Visuals have improved, but for whatever bizarre reason, you've turned it into another one of the unoriginal and boring multiplayer
