Money Grab – Gun Idle Review

This is the biggest money grab game I have ever played. You are introduced to a weekly payment offer to their premium service as soon as the application loads (around $7.99 per week when I’m writing this), which helps you get through the game faster by multiplying your cash/experience. You can unlock everything by watching many ads, you can double and quadruple your cash by watching ads, you can watch ads to multiply your earned cash while you were offline, you can double your experience for a few minutes by watching ads. Anything you do in the game requires watching ads or paying a significant amount of money. There is no real end goal, once you unlock everything you can either remove the game or acquire in game money that you can no longer spend. I sat and let the game run in the background and unlocked everything over a month or two and I wish I hadn’t. Expect to realistically watch 300-800 ads to unlock everything. The game never got harder, or easier, it stayed the same and each item took the same amount of time to unlock as the last. The developers got their ad money from me, like they wanted, and failed to produce a fun game or add any new content during my time playing the game.
