  1. [R2] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 5/5 · US Loved this game since a kid: I love how much new things have been added since i used to play it super user friendly and pretty cool on how fast you make that cash🤑
  2. [R3] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 3/5 · US Lemonade stand: While this game is decent the mini game lemonade stand is hard to beat especially with the time limit and the slow down time it’s impossible to get the customers order and get the key I need to advance in my quest
  3. [R16] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Quest system is garbage and also why Ads bruh: Why is stuff like "claim free tokens" or "use free boost" in the quest system? It just limits progression so much, and also PUNISHES me for claiming them myself instead of waiting for the stupid quest to claim it. Additionally, stuff like "use time warp" is also dumb, I want to be able to have choice in where and when to use my warps but the game forc
  4. [R21] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 5/5 · US BEST GAME EVER: THIS GAME IS SO FUN I STARTED TODAY AND ALREADY HAVE OIL FACTORIES WITHOUT BUYING ANYTHING WITH REAL MONEY
  5. [R9] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 5/5 · US Newest Update Has Ruined Game: Half the time the current event button is missing when going to event and when I watch an ad, particularly Indy, for rewards it stays frozen on a picture of a woman. I came back to ad a couple of minutes later and the picture was still there with no way of exiting without closing the app. The problem gets compounded when you watch the ad to get 2X the amount because
  6. [R19] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 4/5 · US Attention developers!!: Developers!! I’m going to need you to move the exit button immediately lol I have accidentally exited the event a dozen times on accident since this afternoons change. Please move it to the bottom of the page
  7. [R20] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US It is bugged: When I load up, I’m forced to go open an item in the vault. But it’s bugged and you actually open it. But you can’t escape out of that screen to continue your game. So now the game is unplayable. So lame.
  8. [R6] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US I tried to log in from 3 devices: I don't understand why it won't log in. I waited about 2 hours for the game to load, and nothing happened. At first, I thought something was wrong with my phone. I tried logging in from a tablet, and it was the same, it wouldn't log in. Then I tried a second phone, and still couldn't log in. I just get an endless loading screen. I tried everything, but it won't log in. · translated
  9. [R12] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 2/5 · US Look Elsewhere: Game continually crashes. Not a bad game but too many crashes.
  10. [R14] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Never Launches: Every time I launch the game it never fully loads, I’ve tried redownloading it multiple times just to not even play.. rip
  11. [R1] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Gone downhill: I’ve played on and off since it first came out. It’s always need a great game but the introduction of forced ads has ruined it. There’s already enough options to pay for things and rewards based ads for those who would rather not spend money. The inclusion of forced ads is just a pure greed money grab for something that didn’t need them. Will never download again.
  12. [R4] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Good game terrible ads: Such a simple game and yet it’s rendered practically unplayable due to unstoppable ads
  13. [R8] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Used to be great but ads ruined it: There used to be ads when you wanted to double earnings. Now it’s when I open managers etc. 60 seconds long. it’s way too much. Roll back the ads and it will be good again.
  14. [R10] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Ad riddled garbage: Do not play. You will have ads on every menu click after the first week. Having ads to get bonus speed or profit was fine. But it’s ridiculous you can’t even click into the upgrade menu without getting a 30 second ad
  15. [R18] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Ruined: Why do they break the game for no reason. New update is a different and serious game
  16. [R22] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Disappointed with the update: I have been playing this game for over a decade now. The most current update invalidated all the items I have collected over the years for the events. Bring back the items feature in the events section or I’m done. All those years of gameplay to be wiped away. Not to mention the ridiculous ads that are longer than 90 seconds. Pull it out by both ears developers.
  17. [R24] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Unplayable now: Unable to play offline and ads that can’t be skipped. Looks like the development team gave up and is using AI to reply to bad reviews. Uninstalled after reading other recent reviews. Do not play this trash game.
  18. [R30] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 2/5 · US Do you enjoy 2 min ads?: Do you like ads? Do you want ads every time you click something? Do you want to spend $15 a month for no ads? Then this game is for you!!! Can’t spell AdVenture without an ad lol. I’m surprised I didn’t have to watch an ad to click on this review, but I might get an ad when I click submit. Then an ad when I close the App Store. Then an ad for taking a breath. Ads are fine
  19. [R40] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Too many ads: I used to be a big fan of this game, but now its drowning in ads that are unskippable. I tried giving it the benefit of the doubt and try supporting this game by buying a “no pop-up ads” option but you need to pay apparently 15 dollars a month for that. This game is not and never will be worth 15 dollars a month. unplayable and ironic.
