Requires money to make progress after a week – Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire Review

This game may seem fun initially as your empires grows from nothing, but then it becomes apparent that you cannot advance without money. However, what the money buys you is often less than what the offer suggests, so it forces you to spend more money so that your prior expenditures don't become wasted money. Eventually you will learn that the game is dominated by high level players who spent thousands to get where they are. You essentially become their fodder where they use your empire to harvest resources by attacking you. At that point, you will realize that all your efforts and/or all the money you spent advancing, is essentially just for the benefit of those high level players. You will spend weeks recovering from the damage your empire took from these high level players. It will not be worth it. It's also very glitchy. Recently, there was an incorrectly programmed pack, that when purchased, gave you free upgrades - saving those players a thousand dollars. Also, do not play this on an older 3rd gen iPad. The touch interface oddly stops working on some screens when the number of items on the screen is reduced exactly to four.
