I’ve been playing this so long that I can’t remember all the detrimental changes that have been made to the game over the years. However, it must be one helluva good game if I’m still playing it. The latest change happened some time last year and it really infuriated me. You used to be able to buy 6 shovels before starting a level if you did it quick enough. Granted, you had to spend $500 for 6 of them. One day I tried to get my 6 shovels but I could only buy 3 for $250! The only way one could get 6 shovels before starting a level was by shelling out some real money and that’s where I draw the line with these games/apps. I wrote an email and swore to the King company that I would never play this game again, because they had found yet another way to squeeze money out of their customers. So I went about 3 months without playing Farm Heroes Saga, but then I caved and started playing it again because, after all, it was one of the first games I started playing when I created my Facebook account. I have since changed my mind about paying hard-earned money on games like this one. I make small purchases, maybe 3 times a month of about $2.99-$4.99 on average. I consider this to be a smart game. By that, I mean it’s more than just lining up 3-of-a-kind to win. The more you play, or the farther you make your way through the game, the more obstacles and rewards there are. So, in conclusion, this game is good enough to keep playing even after the big-wigs at the corporate office try to find ways to mess it up.
