  20. [R67] Alien Invasion 3/5 · US Used to enjoy it, it got horribly worse.: I played it way early on. Back when there was an in game suggestion box. When it was small and new and ads weren’t required for progression. They would give you bonus stuff for watching ads sure but it was your choice to watch them or not. Technically it’s still “only ads if you allow it” but that only applies to ads for stuff outside the game. Every time
  21. [R68] Alien Invasion 2/5 · US Find something else: I have put a lot of time into this game. The unrelenting pop ups are obnoxious, quest rewards make no sense, it becomes overwhelming with the amount of materials you have to grind. Seriously you are better off playing a match three game.
