City Takeover Hack 3.6.7 + Redeem Codes

This is a really fun game. Bite size levels, simple yet involves strategy, fun cosmetic upgrade system, and in my case, easy to compete with my wife to see who’s in the higher level.
Unfortunately, around level 75 the level designs start getting recycled. Not similar, exactly the same. After level 100 you won’t see a new level design.
To put this in perspective, each level generally takes about 90 seconds, sometimes less.
In one case, I beat a level and then played the exact same level design 3 levels later. Also, the cosmetic upgrade system, while fun, runs out too quickly. By level 200 I had everything bought except the 3 most expensive heads.
Similarly, they have a landscape upgrade that randomly changes the cosmetics every time it’s purchased, but after about the 10th time it repeats and recycles all of the older designs. Fun, but it’s best just to find one you like and stick with it.
Finally, it’s worth saying that there’s a lot of ads. Clearly this game was meant to be downloaded by a large amount of people and only be played for 75 or so levels. However, they’re only 5 second or so ads, and you can just go on airplane mode if you want to skip them, so not a big deal to me.

TL;DR: super fun, perfectly fits the niche “on the toilet” game, but suffers from recycled levels later on and not enough upgrades to keep you invested after about level 75.
That said, I’m on level 375 and clearly still enjoying it :)

UPDATE: I fixed this glitch … (no update issued to fix the glitch). The only thing I did to make the “no thank you” option to show up constantly was turn off all SIri-related settings for the app (in settings). Don’t know if that was it, but cant argue with the result.

I love this game except for what appears to be a glitch regarding post-level completion ads ... I paid the money to remove ads, & this worked ... or the majority of ads ... EXCEPT ... after clearing certain levels there is a meter offering a player up to x5 extra coins ... to get the bonus, a player must watch a video ad ... This is where there is a glitch occurs ... Every so often ... there is a “no thank you” to bypass this bonus, however, this option is horribly inconsistent at showing up, forcing all players who paid for “no ads” to watch the “bonus” video ad. The developer of this app really needs to fix this glitch. After all: “no ads”, means “no ads”. Please FIX this glitch & I would be happy updating the rating of this game to 5 stars!

Despite the repetitiveness of the game, I love it! I usually hate the type of games that have the same goal with slightly different results but this is one that has me hooked for sure. The levee eventually recycle but I did start to realize around the 600s that while the lay out is the same (I’m on level 873), your building starts off in a different location. It may be an update that just so happened to start at the time I was on those levels but I have fun each time. I purchased the no ads around level 30 so I’m glad I did. I do happen to be stuck on a Z shaped level that is typically super easy but since the powerhouses showed up, this one is directly in the way of the last building and I can’t pass it, depending on how many tried it takes me before I give up, I may delete it. I do recommend it though, it’s definitely fun! PS there have been about 2 times (on the level that has 6 buildings in the shape of a crescent moon) it took me at least 15 minutes to get past that level. Enjoy the game!

UPDATE: They took out the hearts and timer and returned this to being the game I loved. Simple, fun, and highly recommended as a good way to kill some time when you need to, whether that be five minutes or a few hours.

Original review: This has been one of my favorite time-killing games for a while, and one I’ve happily recommended to a number of friends. This most recent update has changed that. With the addition of hearts and a timer, this is no longer enjoyable. I can’t say, “Hey, I’ve beaten this level before, but how about if I try doing it THIS way?” because I have to stick with whatever way is going to let me finish the level in the time alotted, or else lose a heart, and if I run out of hearts I’m either paying or done playing. Forget it. Lose the hearts and timer and this will go back to being a game I’d happily give five stars to and recommend to anybody. As it is now, no way. One star; I’ll find other games to spend my time and money on, and I suggest everybody else does too.

Honestly, the gameplay itself used to be enjoyable and an entertaining concept. It was mindless fun and I enjoyed it even once the levels started recycling. The ads were insane, but considering that was the game’s main source of revenue, it was tolerable and I tolerated it.

With the newest update, however, they’ve essentially turned it into a pay to win. Despite this, there are still a lot of ads, which is frustrating. They also added unnecessary mechanics such as a “homestead” that you win silly decorations for. There’s also a “piggy bank” that you can pay to break open after you fill it with enough coins or something ridiculous like that. After winning a level, you now have to go through four or five screens before you get back to the Home Screen to start a new level. This is in addition to the ad that you are forced into immediately upon completing a level.

Furthermore, it periodically seems to switch back to a tutorial mode that tries to force me to use power-ups that I have no interest in using. I just wanted to continue playing the game as I had been in an enjoyable time-killing fashion. Now, however, I find it so irritating that I am promptly deleting it from my phone.

This game involves knocking down towers with your own cute “soldiers”. It involves numbers, no math. There are really no cons to this game other than the ads and the level repeats. This is an offline game so if you don’t want any ads you can turn your WiFi off or put your phone on airplane mode. The level repeats are not a big deal because, the game is so fun that I don’t recognize it at all, maybe 3 times and I’m on level 211. Besides, even if the level repeated you did that level so long ago that you forgot how you did it so it’s not a big deal. I never had a game for this long on my phone, so it is a must try. I enjoy it because it is very challenging, strategic and fun, which is perfect for me. There is a decent amount of skins but you can barely see them in the game so it really doesn’t matter, your players look like ants. Overrall the game is an 8.5/10 and I will continue playing forever I guess, you never get tired of it. Trust me you’ll catch yourself playing for an hour straight.

I purchased no ads. Still had to watch adds until I got to level 300 and something. Had the ability to use boosters. They were on timers. Would regenerate after use kool! As soon as they make them available to purchase with coins. Boosters disappear to never be seen again! Yet if I fail a level you bring up the booster purchase screen and still do not allow me to use said purchased boosters. Will someone please remove their head from their rearend and fix this. Other than the fact that there are a handful of different boards that don’t take long to begin repeat…. I love the game!!! But I’m extremely disappointed with the developers keeping up with it. I’m on level 938 I believe and because I can not use my boosters I can not proceed past this because I’m being attacked right from the onset of the level. Not nice so sad…… if these issues were not present I would without hesitation give five stars. But I can’t do that in good judgment. Two stars it is.

Before this last update, the ads were already infuriating. Seriously, an ad pops up in the middle of every single game! I don’t care if it is a 5 second or 30 second ad. It is infuriating and disruptive. After each game, you had an option to get extra coins by watching an ad, but you could choose not to watch it.
Now there is still an ad right in the middle of the game, but now you have no choice but to watch an ad after each game for extra coins, with no way to opt out of it! As someone who has thousands of coins and has already bought everything in the game possible, it makes no sense to waste my time watching ads for extra coins! Even if I didn’t have the coins, I shouldn’t be forced to watch an ad when it had always been an option.

I understand the need for ads in the game, but right in the middle a level?? No. Dealing with this has made me stop playing several times.
I am up in the thousands with the levels. I really do love this game and would love to keep playing, but the ads are extremely frustrating. Different levels would be fun as well.

I really like this game, but as usual, a great game is ruined by ads. It’s very annoying playing a game and then having it interrupted multiple times while you are trying to execute your strategy. Also, it’s cool that you can “freeze” your opponent, but there are issues. You don’t have to use the freeze, but the prompt is often placed right in front of a box and you are unable to do anything on a blocked box until the prompt moves. You can’t close the prompt, so you have to wait until the timer runs out to regain access to your box, by which time you have lost valuable time and resources, causing you to lose the round. You get so frustrated that you just end up pressing the “freeze”, but doing this seems to put your opponents on freeze permanently, which takes the challenge out of winning. So you either easily win or unfairly lose. I would really like to see improvements to this game because it is a lot of fun. Currently, though, I’m about two seconds away from deleting it.

These are hands-down the WORST ads I’ve EVER seen in a mobile game. Not just ads to double your rewards, or ads at the end of every level, nooooo that’s not good enough. We need an ad EVERY THIRTY SECONDS while you’re in a match, WHILE YOURE TRYING TO PLAY THE REAL TIME STRATEGY GAME!!! You’ll be playing the game, actually enjoying yourself, then BOOM, you’re subjected to an ad you’ve seen 50 times already in the last 15 minutes. It’s such a good game too, the gameplay is really solid, very fair, and genuinely makes you use your brain. But these ads are unforgivably bad. I’ve lost a game because of how intrusive they are, I was juggling resources down to the split second, then right as I was going to adjust my formation, I get hit with an ad. I come back to see all my forces completely swept. I am not hyperbolizing when I say these are the worst, most intrusive, most numerous ads I’ve EVER seen in a mobile game. Without them I’d easily give 5, but they hamper the gameplay so much I can’t bring myself to give more than 2.
