Miners Settlement: Idle RPG 4+

This is my first time writing a review for a game. I have never played any games like this before and at first I thought it looked weird but I was soon enthralled in the amazing storyline and gameplay. The community is one of the best I have been a part of and it is genuinely one of my favorite games on mobile. The game was relatively easy to understand and had plenty of opportunities for the player to grow quickly. Not to quick, though. It takes time to progress through the game and although there are season passes and such which bolster your progress, they are not necessarily to play the game. There is so much content and every week there is new stuff. Seriously one of the best games I’ve played. Also, I feel it is important to also mention that the devs are very good with keeping up with the community and are very fast at dealing with the problems. Which are few and far between. This is an amazing game that has far less recognition than it deserves. 10/10 game.

P.S. herb nation on top.
P.S.S. Sunshine is the goat.
P.S.S.S. Potato is the best player ever and totally deserves a weapon skin.

I like this game a lot and I play it several hours a day but the adds constantly glitch out the game and I have to restart. I have issues where if I watch certain adds like this zombie add it never gives me a way to close out of the add, so then I’m forced to restart the game. It’s literally impossible for me to get down to the necromaner without using the adds to my advantage so I can’t complete the quest. I also have ab issue where if I watch too many adds in a row my game will glitch and I won’t be able to collect my winnings from killing an enemy, and half of the screen shows the ‘claim’ button and all of the winnings displayed while the top half of my screen shows my character in the area im in, and a red x. When I hit the x it came up with the options to surrender and when I hit it nothing happened. The screen stayed the same and I was still able to to hit the x again to surrender but it was always the same outcome. This made me have to restart the game on my phone too. And I also noticed if I watch too many adds it will make the enemies glitch while their moving and my character glitches too, and I have to restart. I also frequently go to the dungeon when it should be full of enemies and there are only one of the enemies on their floor, and I have to restart to get the rest of them. I love this game but currently because of the adds I can’t progress at all.

There’s a lot of stuff to do, like mining and crafting and combat and trade, but it’s difficult to get to all of it due to progress-breaking bugs and ads needed to make progress at a bearable speed.

Bugs first: wouldn’t save my character’s appearance or name multiple times, I have several quests that I have completed or met the requirements for that are stuck on my quest list or are unable to complete (my red mineral is at 16/10, all freshly collected, and it still won’t let me turn them in for example), sometimes after a quest or obtaining a new gear I have to close and restart the app since it doesn’t act as though I’ve obtained/equipped an item and gets stuck, and after watching some ads the ad will complete and close and the screen gets stuck at plain black and never loads back into the game forcing me to restart (and lose my place in the combat areas often).

Ads: there’s ads for everything, which yes are avoidable but the only way to progress beyond a crawling speed is by watching them to multiply your money, mine resources faster, continue during combat, obtain blueprint parts for free, shorten caravan times, and more. I wish there was more to do that didn’t require ads. It doesn’t really play as an idle game since you need to constantly be watching ads to multiply or boost in order to make any significant difference. Especially bothersome when the ad glitches and crashes the game, making me lose progress.
