House of Power: The Game 12+

Pay to play

This comment is mostly a reply to one of your responses in a previous comment. I gave two stars based on the concept alone, the gameplay is okay. The comment I’m referring to stated the game is designed for you to run out of funds very quickly and in order to continue you have to use real money. Out me actually enjoying the concept of the game I’m making this comment because it would be really cool to actually be able to enjoy the game. The monetization concept is completely understandable but you guys could at least design the game to where that’s not the only way you can get anywhere.

Interesting game, but not worth the cost

The concept of this game is very interesting, and it looks like it could be fun. However, you can’t get very far in the game without them forcing you to pay real money. It is designed so that you run out of funds very quickly, and the ONLY way to progress in the game is to buy more in game currency at real cost. The packages are too expensive for a game that is only mildly interesting. To me, the content of this game is not worth even the lowest package amount, which starts at $5 for a very low amount of in game currency. Additionally, it doesn’t give you enough time to really get invested in wanting to continue the story before demanding money.

It doesn’t appear much thought was put into the content. There are a lot of grammar errors, misspelled words, and a limited number of events before you are forced to wait 45 minutes, or watch five ads, yet they want to charge high amounts on the packages, for low returns. It is clearly just a money grab, they don’t even try to hide it. It’s obvious.

Do Not Buy this game unless you are willing to pay 50+ dollars

Overall, I enjoyed this game. It has an interesting premise, engaging storylines, and a decent progression system. This is all ruined by greed. The game seems to be designed to wring the most money out of you as possible. Every minute or so, you are required to watch an ad, and then every 5 minutes, you have to watch 5 ads, or else wait 45 minutes to wait for the game to unlock. The only way to get around this is to pay for a premium membership (which is the only thing decently priced in this game). The part that gets me, is it seems to be designed so that you run out of funds as quickly as possible, essentially stopping you from being able to continue, and forcing you to pay real money within 20 minutes of playing. Do NOT buy this unless you are prepared to pay 100+ dollars to play for a couple hours.
