Township 4+

Love this game

I love this game. Its never crashed on me or had any other bugs. It’s not impossible to move up to higher levels without spending money, you just have to play more. I have bought the in game cash a couple times, but often they do an earned discount through gameplay and it’s actually a good deal.
It takes a while to gain building materials to build some buildings, but you earn in game money quite often (I actually found out that by reading their mail/updates they’ll give you cash). Some buildings require more materials than others, but you also earn those materials for sending off trains and winning contests. There’s so much to do that keeps me playing and it never gets boring. Every so often, there’s contest games to earn prizes for each placement, not just for 1st and 2nd place. The contest games inside this game are fun in and of themselves. You fill orders for helicopters and airplanes and zoo guests and they vary in difficulty. Once you open up the mine, you make ore that you can spend on upgrading your factories, including decreasing the time it takes to produce certain goods and increasing the amount of money and experience you get.
The more you play, the more gameplay opens up. It’s not like other games that make it impossible to level up. I’ve probably been playing this game for about 4 months and I’m at level 52. The graphics and designs in this are actually pretty cool.

Fun game, but…..

I really like this game, but there are a couple things that annoy about it.
For one, they need to ask if you want to use the cash before they take it. I have lost WAY too much town cash just from a slip of my finger! It asks when you’re using items in an expansion, so my not ask when you’re using town cash. It’s very discouraging when you save it up, and it’s all gone with a slip of the finger!
Another thing is the time frame some of the products take to produce. Some are 6 hours or more. That’s ridiculous. Most people don’t have attention spans that long to even remember they were making that item. Kinda takes the fun away when you’re playing, and most of the items you need to make are long time items, and you’re just waiting on items.
The last thing is, when you’re in a co-op, and someone needs help, you should be able to give what you have, not what they need. So if someone needs 8 bread, I could give the 2 I have, and others could give what they have. Most people don’t just have 8 bread unless they’re making them for their own tasks. Sometimes it lets you just give what you have, and other times you can only give what they asked for. I don’t get why sometimes you have to give all though.
Other than that, I enjoy wasting lots of time playing this game. If there was one major thing I could change, it’d definitely be needing to confirm you want to use the town cash. I’ve probably lost hundreds by accidentally hitting it, and it’s infuriating.

Don’t get too attached to this game

When I first downloaded this game I was head over heels for it. I know I’ve sunk a couple hundred hours into it at least. There are enough positive reviews for this game explaining its appeal, so I’ll get to the reason for this review.

I got past level 40 and I noticed the game started to kick out at the startup screen, back to the desktop. At first it was only intermittent, but it was so much fun that I just dealt with it. As time went on the incident started occurring more frequently until the game refused to start at all. I did a lot of research and tried all the tricks - restarting the device, updating the iOS, deleting the app and reinstalling, everything but tossing the iPad up against the wall. The fixes would work for one or two launches of the game, then back to not loading again. For this reason I am discontinuing playing the game any longer - it’s too frustrating waiting for it to load, then getting kicked out.

The reason for this review is to make everyone aware of this issue. The devs need to address this ASAP, as there are a lot of people having this problem. I have been playing Shop Titans for about three years and have never had this problem. So, bottom line is - you will love this game until you can’t get it to launch. Then you will ask yourself why you wasted so much time on it to begin with.
