Started off okay - rather repetitive and boring but most idle games are. Just got to Chapter 8 and in order to access the worktables 6-10 I need upgraded products which require Influence which is difficult to obtain without spending $$$ as the ads rarely work. I also have chapter goals involving influence so my progress has more or less come to a halt unless I spend money to gain more. Seems a bit greedy for such a basic game. In response to the reply: It's not the difficulty, just the supply of influence compared to the required amount needed for progression when the ads don't always work and then the bird flies off. As for the event - it was on a weekday during exam season so like most people who work or had exams, I didn't get much chance to participate. PS. Just to add, I'm happy to spend $$$ on games but the cost of influence, super cash etc is just too expensive compared to other games.

Hi Christopher, We're sorry that you encountered some difficulties to pass Chapter 8. We recommend you to check our limited time event, "Airplane Hanger" it can really help you to win influence, Super cash and Manager's cards. I've also sent your suggestion to the team about the game difficulty and they will look into it for future game changes.

Downloaded when it was released as a early access. So far I'm hooked!! Love the little cut scenes that follow on from a story. You aren't left waiting or getting bored trying to complete a level fast to get to the next part. Things are easy to upgrade and very easy to work out and start building up cash faster. Overall love the game.. Been waiting forever for it to be released and I'm not disappointed!! Although didn't get my sword to say I'd been pre-registered for months.. Disappointed!

Hello - Previously you would have had to wait to reach chapter 2 to see the icon for the boost (Pre-Registration Reward). We’ve just updated it so you can now see it on the right menu even before chapter 2. Please restart your game. We apologize for the confusion! You can also reach us via narcos-support@bigwolf.com for additional help.

Honestly it's a great time waster, I can play without paying anything really, and the only ads are the ones I click on. The only reason I'm rating it 2 stars is the fact I can't play music in the background while playing. My Spotify shouldn't stop for the sounds and music I have turned off in the game anyway. Fix that and it's a top of the line time killer for slow times at work or just trying to fall asleep.
