Idle Lumber Empire Simulator

Fun little game for 2 days and then realised there was no real way to progress at any speed without spending a huge amount of real money. £19.99 to get rid of the ads. Without that, the ads are basically forced on you to collect certain items. Not great in all honesty.

The game starts off as enjoyable, but when each time you upgrade your factory you have to start everything from scratch it gets real old real fast…

Slow and very boring. Avoid

The game’s ok but massively spoiled by the constant ads ! I understand the needs for ads but not this many! Some ads run for a minute which is just plain wrong. Some finish but then it add another 10 seconds on top & then yet another 5 seconds on top again, so 3 times we watch the same ad ! They like to waffle on about taking feedback on board but clearly don’t as it’s been like this for ages & it’s still as bad. Poor. So in reply, what’s your optional extra to stop viewing ads other than paying? Just excuse after excuse. I don’t mind ads, just allow us to stop them after 10 seconds but you don’t listen, just more excuses. I've read your other replies to other feedback like this and your replies are exactly the same, excuses after excuse but nothing changes. Changing your rating to 1 star because of you. Very, very poor…

First hour is great then you have to watch adverts to get any upgrades. I don’t mean one or two adverts a day I mean every hour. The levels are all the same and becomes very dull.

Actually enjoyed playing this and did so for a solid 3-4 days but you’re constantly required to view ads to make meaningful progress. On its own irritating but when about 1 in 5 ads crash the game and require what is a pretty slow restart to get back in I’ve had enough. In the bin.

If you love non stop ads you will love this. As the only way to upgrade managers is watch hundreds of ads

Was good at the beginning but don’t know where it is going when you’ve played it for a while… Very hard to upgrade if your not willing to spend money… Getting disappointed in it now… Now sticking on some football advertisement. Becoming a real pain. Might get deleted soon. 🔜 Now deleted…. I’m too old to play without paying. Without payment it would take for ever to get anything. Behave.

Yes this does look like it could be a decent sim game but I have only got to building a cabin stage and the game has stalled. I think it’s waiting for me to pay for some upgrades. The problem is that I don’t know how long this payment will last before I’m required to make another payment. I’ll be removing the app. Update. I didn’t remove the app. I cancelled the orders that were in progress but were apparently stuck. This seemed to kick everything back into action and I was then able to progress. I have just had an email response from the developers advising the same action, so thank you for that :)

I’ve played this game up to factory 10 (of 18) to see how it develops in later stages. Sadly it doesn’t. After a few days of play I paid to get rid of the endless ads and that’s the only money I’ve spent on this. The game could do with more targeted help especially at the beginning when it’s difficult to work out how to progress, so I had to resort to searching for help online. However, I quickly worked out how to maximise cash, coins, experience counters and diamonds. In fact so much cash accumulates that it starts to use mythical values. After millions, billions and trillions you find yourself with aa, ab, ac, ad… etc. The most frustrating aspect of the game, and the reason I’m now getting rid of it, is that every time you unlock a new factory it resets your progress to the beginning. And every factory looks exactly the same, even when you reach ‘ultra modern’ and ‘robotic’ factory. The only thing which changes is that you need increasing numbers of manager cards to speed up your factory. So despite having enough cash to run several countries, and apparently running the most advanced sawing mill on the planet, it gets harder and harder to upgrade your two men sawing logs by hand. If each factory actually looked different, and you could actually use some of your shed loads of money to hire people and buy new machinery, I’d keep this.
