Frozen City 12+

Best building game out there.

I’ve been with this game since it’s initial launch. Found it through an ad on another game and decided to join (why not ey?).
Some review here say they dislike how you have to spend money to progress as the game slows down progressively - and while this can be true, Frozen City offers a unique incentive with its game play. Despite the levels slowing down and getting harder, their regular (and great) events speed things up again. While your main city plods along you still get to feel like you’re playing at a fast pace and the beauty of the events are they give you rewards, and generous rewards at that.

I’ve never played a more generous, thoughtful game on my phone that offers surveys for gameplay and genuine, quick responses to feedback in the form of updates (rather than just acknowledgement).

I recommend Frozen City whole-heartedly. I can’t see myself ever deleting it!

Starts off nice but then they bottleneck you

It starts off really sweet, amazing animation/graphics style, beautiful concept, easy to get the hang of.
Very quickly though, they force the concept of ‘heroes’ on you. You are now introduced to multiple in-game currencies which are used to upgrade heroes. If you don’t upgrade heroes, or if you don’t have the right heroes, you are limited in game progression (you can’t put more workers to work, you can’t feed your survivors good meals so they starve to death, you can’t progress in the “map” battles because the enemies are too powerful).
You get to a point where you need to open the app every 2 hours to collect numerous accumulations of points and stars and etc, because it’s not a truly idle game, and so you slowly build up whatever necessary wealth you need to upgrade your heroes. But then. You realise that you can’t just upgrade heroes, you need to first collect cards and red stars. If you don’t have enough of either you can purchase gems to cover the rest of the cost. But there’s no way for you to just buy a hero directly, you need to buy some form of currency to semi-gamble your way (through opening chests) into getting lucky enough to get the right cards for the heroes you need. I just wish the game could stay wholesome and not progressively add things to the side of your screen (events, mail, map, airship, heroes, battlefield)

It’s okay but extremely slow

At the beginning of the game you progress through at a great speed, they ask for a review and you give a good one because you think its great. Than all of sudden you get to the third city (level three) and you hit a massive slow down. You can’t progress at any speed because they want you to buy two characters and if you don’t the factories pretty much comes to a stop as you can’t keep upgrading, you can’t put worker on and can’t keep up with demand from the other factories. Which mean you can’t upgrade anything, even after days of playing you get no where. They do have events that lead you too a different place and you get to upgrade them, keeps you distracted for a moment but obviously only lasts so long. The only good thing about these is they give you a bonus when the events over. Unfortunately this only gives you a small amount not really letting you progress much, unless you are willing to spend money I wouldn’t suggest this game.
