Idle Outpost: Business Game 12+

This is the best idle game/ phone game I ever tried. Usually with idle games you play for a little and then it gets old and repetitive but with this game they give you different game modes and events to keep you interested. When you get tired of playing the main story line you can fight zombies, pvp or participate in the events. The game gives great rewards for participating in events and had manage to keep my attention which is rare with phone games. This game also doesn’t force ads on you and gives you the option to watch ads for extra rewards which lets me watch ads when I want and just play the game when I’m not in the mood to watch ads. The ad selection could be better as lots of ads are repetitive but they are optional to watch so you can just not watch if you get tired of seeing the same ads. After playing the game for a few weeks I started deleting other games on my phone. Had to give the game 4 stars because of the ads they decide to promote are questionable but for the game itself it’s the only game I play on the phone. Great job👏 🎉

Thank you for your review, and we apologize for your feeling that there are too many ad placements in Idle Outpost. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us about the pop-up features in the game. Rest assured that this will be shared with the team for further consideration so please kindly stay tuned for now.

I like the style and the concept of the game. The downsides however are that in order to get any kind of edge in the game you either have to spend an insane amount of time watching ads, or a disgusting amount of money. In order to get 280 ad skips, you have to pay $30. This amount could easily be used in a single day and still leave you lagging behind in leaderboards for any of their events. Oh, and the leader board system in the game? The last update has completely ruined it. I used to consistently place AT LEAST in the top 20. Now, even if I do spend money to get a competitive edge, I am still left in the HUNDREDS place. Oh? Because so many people are spending more money? NOPE because they’ve changed the leaderboard system to prevent you from placing higher if you don’t reach ridiculous, nearly unattainable goals. It is the fastest I have reached the Pay to Win stage in a game, and it’s disappointing. Additionally, the shop in game is extremely misleading during events for what you’re actually getting. It’s advertised as a certain manager leveling up, but it’s not actually that. They give you the CARDS to level them up, but not enough of the event item to actually level them up, making your purchase potentially useless, but you may not realize it until you’ve already used your purchase to partially level up the manager.

Just really disappointing.

Hello, narutosux! Thank you for your review!
As you continue through the game, you’ll reach other parts represented in the ads. New areas will be unlocked throughout the game, like missions, arena, and much more. We’d definitely stick around to find out the entire story, as it’s interesting.

This is not the game that is shown in their advertisements, so if you are hoping to play that game, keep looking elsewhere. The title of my review says “initially fun”, because the game is a little entertaining for a couple levels. But then you’ll realize every level is pretty much the same concept, it just takes longer to ‘unlock’ items. The concept is you provide goods to customers. You start with offering water, then bandages, matches, and so on. You can somewhat control how fast you serve customers, so it’s easy to prevent getting overwhelmed by customers. I have A couple other complaints as well. The game has an “offline” mode, which means you continue collecting resources even when you’re offline. But there’s a time limit of two hours. So, to continue collecting, you have to log into the game and collect whatever (money and shovels, so far for me) and then close the game again. My frustration is that this mechanic teaches me to just log in collect log out. No other actions. After doing this a couple days of real time, I realize I’m not actually playing the game at all, so there’s no point to continue logging in. I delete the app completely at that point. That’s where I am already with this game. And I’ve had it less than two days.
