Easily The Worst Game I’ve Ever Played – Ancient Aliens: The Game Review

I wish I could include screenshots in this review to show how poorly designed this app is; despite the awkward layout and the long load times, the story itself is so badly laid out that it more or less forces you to quit before the end. At first I was intrigued by the storyline, and I was into the concepts it used to weave all of Georgio’s conspiracies together. And I was into the ‘idle’ nature of the game, literally building the great pyramid on block at a time. The biggest problem with the game starts right here though; the scales of time/gold/PD REQUIRE you to spend money... but the RL cost of these resources doesn’t actually further you in the game. At one point about 1-1/2 months ago, I reached a goal that, should I rushed it, it would have cost me OVER $1000 real dollars! And that was only to move on to the next goal! Sorry, um, no. At that point I planned on writing this review, but I pushed through and just let it take a month to complete that goal (it was researching a tech). In that time, I completed the great pyramid. Now that I finally, finally finished that tech, it starts me on another one; this one would cost me $1430 real USD to skip. Or, if I want to ‘activate’ the pyramid, that costs 1M in-game gold, at $100USD/80k-in-game, that’s another $1200 dollars. So, to move on at this point, I am supposed to wait another 3 months (logging in only to collect gold from the mines... again, my pyramid is done) or pay $2600USD?! I feel bad that I wasted so much time on this. You people should really be ashamed. Georgio, pull your name from this trash! Goodbye.
