Idle Dino Museum 4+

Before I review this game, I want everyone to know there isn’t a single game on this AppStore that doesn’t have bugs, glitches, Ads (in some way), etc. So to judge a whole game or to deduct stars over something that can be fixed in a update it’s just crazy to me.

Anyways, me personally out of all the idle games I’ve ever played this has to be the most diverse and complex one to date. Majority of idles make you sit around upgrade your buildings, assets, etc. And that’s fun and all but those games last on my phone maybe 1 week.

This to me also has a story, something MAJORITY of idles game lack. It keeps me wanting to do tasks and continue to actually create the fossils.

Something I can’t tell you how much I appreciate is that there is no reset for more valuable currency. To me this kinda killed the point of most idle games just to see everything you just made get reset and get nothing new or exciting coming up.

Needless to say this game has kept me hooked for 2 weeks now. I’m excited to see how the dinosaurs look when they come to life at level 30!

AMAZING GAME! KEEP UP THE WORK!

The game itself and the idle experience is honestly great, and the art it very nice to look at and look forward to the next upgrade. The awkward part comes in the game’s text and AD placement. The English is mediocre, a prime example being the first purchase gift bag isn’t explained clearly, you’ll see for yourself. The ads, while there are no random pop up ads, which is a big plus, almost every reward is behind an ad watch, with the rewards varying between worth the watch and why waste 30 seconds on this instead of another “free” ad reward. Even catching the thief only results in her offering an ad reward, while good, but not the gold she stole. I would recommend pairing this app with a different pastime for all the ad rewards if you want to quickly progress. IMPORTANT pet peeve of mine is misleading prize wheels. A polar bear offers relic rewards and an ad reward to multiply the relic by 1x, 3x, 5x, and 10x. The graphic of the wheel would mean each section has a 25% chance to be landed on. This isn’t true as you will predominantly land on 1x, and is outright disgusting to see in any game, including this one.

I’m a huge fan of Idle Fossil Museum, so much so that the level rewards have stopped paying out (I’m over 120+ levels in), and once you move past the ads everywhere you look it’s actually a lot of fun. It’s not a traditional idle game, and it’s got a wonderfully unique system of digging up fossils and assembling dinosaurs or other creatures. All in all, I would recommend you play Idle Fossil Museum. It’ll keep you busy for at least a little while.

What this game needs, quite ironically, is more life. It needs more content—more stuff to do. For example, once you max out everything in the starting area it’s not even worth your time or effort to go there anymore because the monetary payout is next to nothing compared to what you earn in area 2.

I don’t know if this developer even cares about this game anymore, but if by some slim chance they read this I want them to know I enjoyed the content they have going so far, it just needs more. Constant additions and updates is how you keep your game relevant and alive, and I’m not seeing much movement behind the scenes.
