This is a fun game, but the game is stacked against you. You’ll be getting through levels just fine, and all of a sudden, you hit a brick wall and can’t move forward without a lot of upgrades. Additionally, the game is designed so that, even if you’ve paid to remove ads, some levels cannot be gotten through without watching the optional ads for additional perks. On roof that, the PVP mode is not true PVP, as the enemy player is a bot, not a real player. By doing this, the game controls your progression through the PVP ladder. PVP will be super easy until you progress far enough, and then you get throttled hardcore, meaning the bots will win anytime the game doesn’t want you to progress. This is apparent by the fact that you can be really strong, but the bot player will shoot right past all of your veggies out front and destroy your sprinklers in a single hit. Plus, in addition to be stacked against you in other ways, this is a game of chance, or more likely just another way the controls your progression, as your sprinklers and crops are left up to whatever 3 options you’re given to chose from. Sometimes, you’re only given options you can’t actually use, while it seems the enemies just get stronger. Overall, this can be a fun game, but just know that the game is designed to be rage farm, so that you’ll break down and spend money to strengthen your veggies, which ultimately makes this game also P2W.
Thanks for the detailed feedback — difficulty spikes, PvP pacing, and RNG on sprinklers/crops are all things the team actively reviews as we tune balance. Rewarded ads stay optional by design, but we hear you on the walls. If future patches smooth things out, we'd love an updated rating 🌱 — The Harvest King team at HOMA
