The general premise of the game is fun and I actually do enjoy it tho it’s part of the mobile game trend atm but the biggest problem as is everyone else’s is the ads, my god the ads, you start up the APP -> pop up ad, start a game -> ad, get targeted by all three monsters and die -> ad, get out of the ad and get to the menu -> pop up ad, which when I accidentally press because the X doesn’t work leads to another actual ad popping up over the pop up ad. And that’s just the ads, the bot pathing is just downright terrible at times since your run is based on RNG from the beggining with the free crate and if you get a shooter then you’re just screwed even getting energy on the later nights will cause you to lose if you dont want to watch an ad because of the simple fact that you get absolutely targeted by the monsters (because I’m very sure that all the other “people” are bots as well) and you get screwed over before you can do much except for those really REALLY rare moments where they finally decide you’ve had enough and leave you alone for half the night. The ONLY reason I’m rating it as high as I am with everything I’ve said is because of the simple fact that this one is actually POSSIBLE without watching the ads in game and that’s the only one I’ve found to do it. Which I’ve made it on round 5 literally ONCE because of the pathing that decides I need to suffer

This game is really good and its really hard nowadays to actually find an interesting game. But my only problem with this is too much ads and the targeting. Whenever I die I be getting ads. And those half screen ad pop ups that I can’t click out of and I have to exit the game and re-enter to actually get rid of it (sometimes I can get rid of it without exiting). I have been playing for maybe an hour or so and the constant targeting of the monster is so annoying, they be targeting me for 30 sec straight without leaving and then when they do decide to leave they attack 1-2 bots and they come back to me and I end up dying which is very annoying. The energy thing is annoying but its bearable.

This game has a great concept for the strategy aspect, but they need to do some fine tuning. The difficulty survival of the bots scales very fast. By night 3 you are entirely dependent on watching ads to have a slight chance. The ads, oh my, the ads. There have been times I’ve logged into the game to play, and an ad pops up that I can’t exit out of. Close the app, start it again and the very same ad pops up, preventing me from even being able to play the game. I’ve seen and played a few apps that made me say “wow the ad farm on this one is unreal,” but I’ve never not been able to close an ad to be able to continue playing the game. This app takes invasive ads and ad farm to a new level.Another note worth mentioning, game economy is terrible. Normally upgrading the players stats and acquiring new characters, at least at the beginning, is based off of in game currency, but in this all upgrades and characters are done from diamonds. A currency that you could either pay for with $$, watching many ads, or a very very long grind. Every win only grants you 3 diamonds and a failed attempt 1 diamond. Then on top of that you can only attempt a night every so often. You have to spend energy to play which those are on a timer as well. In summary, in order to enjoy this game, you have to spend a good few dollars. Otherwise it’s not worth the time.

So a lot of other reviews have talked about how awful the ads are. And they aren’t wrong, but I’m not going to focus on them. Instead I want to focus on just how unfair the game is built to be. Money accrues incredibly slowly at the beginning of the game, needing 25 to buy the initial upgrade. You can just about make that before the monster spawns. But then you gain 2/tick of the generator. But upgrading again costs 50. And you also have to upgrade the door for an additional 15. Since the money source is limited by the level or your door you HAVE to pay for both. Now you need to pay 60 for the next door, and 200 for the money source. Costs continue to ramp up, while you also have to invest in weapons, energy generators, and everything else.Meanwhile the monsters can break through early doors in a fraction of the time needed to generate any of this money. And your only tool to repair the door is somethibg you can only use rarely. So once the door is damage that’s it, you now have even less time. This is bad enough on nights 1-4, but one Night 5 with two monsters, who regularly both attack you literally cannot earn money fast enough to keep your defenses up. This might be fine if there were either upgrades to keep up with difficulty. But it doesn’t. The “skill tree” is completely useless.Save your time and play something else.
