From Zero to Hero: Cityman Hack 1.8.2 + Redeem Codes

To start off, the game idea is a freakin banger. Such a good idea and concept it’s crazy how it’s not a bigger game, right? Wrong. As you play your expenses for a car, house, clothes ect. Becomes higher than your actual income with the job you have, then you need to pay more money per month by upgrading your car and housing to get a job that still under cuts your expenses ALOT. So essentially, you just need to either pay your OWN money, or get very lucky in the casino or stock market. The game is a pay to win game after a certain point. If the developers weren’t so money hungry, this could be makin a lot more money than they get off a couple of suckers who wanted to win. I played a solid 5 times and I couldn’t get past age 29. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Honestly if you want to know what I’m saying, get the game, try it, because it’s fun a first. But you’ll realize how it is close to impossible to progress in the game after a certain point. Funny thing is I said to myself I wouldn’t stop until I was the president. But that’s pretty much impossible. Big middle fingers to the greedy ah developers. Smh.

I spent $5 on this app to jumpstart. Paid for college, watched a couple hundred ads in order to skip time/earn extra money (this was all in one day. I had a day to waste due to illness and spent it passively watching ads while playing this game). It became apparent quite soon that cost of living outgrew income and never really balanced out. Unlike real life, you couldn’t cut costs in order to balance your budget. I have never had a job or promotion that required better food or more children in my family. I understand requiring nicer clothes, more education, and even the nicer car to get promoted. But requiring items to get a job that cost more than you can earn doing that job shows you that they are all about their paying players. If you’re free to play, even with watching a ridiculous amount of ads, you will find this game infuriating. The stock market in the game moves way to quickly to actually win anything (no decision making time, you have to hit the button at just the right time to make any profit). The casino is fun, but it’s a casino. It’s not a smart use of funds and typically doesn’t pan out as a money making tool. For those willing to put real money into game purchases, this game isn’t bad but boring after a couple hours. If you’re not going to put money into this game, I suggest finding something else. I deleted it about 6 hours after downloading.

I very rarely write reviews for games, but this game is an exception. It starts off pretty good and you are able to advance your career pretty quickly; and then you notice that not only are you earning less then you are spending BUT you actually HAVE TO PAY EVEN MORE to advance your career which- news flash still puts you in a deficit. Don’t be fooled by the other scam which is actually spending your money. Unless you’re prepared to spend over $60, spending money just bides you time, it dosent give you enough to actually make it until the end. What’s most disappointing about this game though is that it actually can be good, if the developers weren’t so hungry for money. I see the developers saying it takes strategy but I consider myself pretty good with these types of games, so like I said before, unless your prepared to spend over $60 on the game IT IS IMPOSSIBLE without incredible luck at the casino or waiting years (real life) to accumulate the money. To the developers: this can be a great game and people would pay for things if they thought it was worth it; you just can’t make it impossible for the people that won’t pay and it’s incredibly frustrating that people have been complaining about this forever and you don't do anything. Anyone able to complete this without spending money or waiting for ages is smarter then Einstein.

Basically if you don't figure out the stock market and how to profit off it well, you cannot play this game without spending real money. Even if you do I doubt you can get away with spending zero real money. But you can for reasonably cheap if you get it down. Recommend a throw-away play through or 3 to figure out how to work the stock market. One thing I haven’t figured out and is very frustrating, the market will randomly close my position at times even when im in the green for a total loss of the whole investment. I’ve had it go the other way where I get automatically closed out and its for a profit as well but much more frequently its for a total loss. Secondly when you have not much miney left and your trying to recover with good trades the constant “your out of money” pop ups make it impossible to make good trades when it really matters. Probably by design. But it’s slightly infuriating when you had a good trade that would have taken you out of the whole but the 3 pop ups make you unable to close your position and you loose everything. This is basically stock market simulator with some other cool stuff too.

This game has a wonderful concept and could be amazing. Could be. First I would like to say that there are no glitches and the number of ads is entirely reasonable. However, I have some issues. 1) It’s too hard. You need 6k and $300 a month to buy a car so that you can make an extra $200 or so. The developers say that if you can gamble right, or play the stock market correctly then you can make enough money and keep leveling up no problem. This is simply not true. To be honest you would be better off with no job, no education, and just gambling and playing the stock market. 2) You have to play as a man. There is no option to play as a women. I know this may seem small, but to me I think small minded is a better term. You have to play as a man and you have no choice. And any talk about women in this game is always them hooking up with someone. Further to the point, there’s no option about which gender you date. This is less serious than the problem with women’s portrayal, but still. I would like for there to be more of an option regarding gender. Of both the player and partner. I have only played two lives, so maybe as you play more you can play as a woman, but this is what I’ve found so far.

I love this game, or the concept of it anyway. I actually put it away for 2 years because it was frustrating that the expenses were hire than the income. But I decided to try again. This time I spent about $6 of my real money to try to get ahead. But then I got to the point where I’m losing $5k a month because of the mandatory items needed to advance my career. I’ve tried the “side jobs” but I don’t see where that does anything but lower my health and happiness. I’ve been reading the reviews and the developer responses saying it’s meant to be hard and based on decisions but the only decision you can make is whether to stay at a profitable job (which there seems to be only one or two) for a significant amount of time or advance. What I would like to see is being able to choose your food/car/clothing/relationship be an actual choice and not requirements for job (except maybe basic food & clothing choices), but that can affect your health and happiness so that’s where you need to determine your risk level. Sure we can watch ads, play the casino & stock market etc., but aside from the ads those are “luck” based so not really reliable for income.

I see all these other great reviews and wonder if I even got the same game? It’s not even possible to move further in the game without using real money. This game is a scam that draws you in and makes you need to pay to continue. I thought I was doing something wrong but no matter what eventually it comes to a point where the income is less then what your expenses are. Simple solution for the user would be to drop some expenses or increase income. But it just can’t happen. If you drop expenses you lose your job and have to completely restart the game because you will then run out of money. And you can’t increase your income without increasing expenses. The concept for this game had me really excited but the execution of the game was horrible. I think the biggest problem I had overall was not even how the game wasn’t possible to win without paying money, but the fact that if you do pay money it costs $8 (real money) to increase skill in stocks. $4 (real money) to buy a car that the character can only use until a certain point. And a lot more high rates with terrible returns. It’s a major scam ran by the company. They have a wonderful concept though so I hope they fix the game.

The game is about surviving in the world. Getting a job, home, food, transportation and a family. You can play roulette or bet on the market. You also get certain situations that you have to make decisions for.
The game is relatively slow, since time doesn’t pass when your not playing the game. I can sit there for 5 minutes waiting for something to happen. You can bet by a casino or the market but neither of those games I like to play.
Personally I don’t know how to play roulette or bet on the market. They don’t clearly explain anything. Since they don’t explain how you play and the tutorial is vague, you have no idea if you win or lose.
The market and roulette also seem to be rigged. The market skyrockets when you are trying to buy and crashes when you are trying to sell. Of course you can watch an ad to fix this but don’t depend on the ad because it doesn’t tend to help.
Every decision you make has a cost, weather it’s your happiness, health, or money. This is the one thing that makes me hate this game. No matter what you do, to have fun, to have a little happiness you lose something in the end. Unless, of course, you watch the provided advertisements.

Much like the other low reviews, I will note that the game seems designed to push you to spend real money because of the unrealistic setup. Th main character is ambitious to the point of pushing the player into getting the most expensive option they can, often pushing the monthly expenses beyond the income level. The only real way to earn enough money to reach the highest levels is to play the stock markets or in the casino, both of which are essentially luck based unless you spend real money to increase the invisible “skill” associated with each.
But what I really found that I loathed is that once the main character hits 60 his health tanks in unrealistic amounts each month. As in you lose 40-50 health each month from 60 on. Which is not realistic - people do not suddenly become decrepit upon reaching seniority. The only way to fix this is to get a 5k coin surgery each month, but if you’re in the casino or the stock exchange a window will pop up complaining about being a living corpse and can result in lost bets.
The idea of this game is very fun, but it seems like a get rich quick scheme for the developers more than an actual idle strategy game. I do not recommend downloading it.

I love the concept but The expenses are almost always more than the income and you can’t increase your income without increasing spending. For example they force you to get better house and car to get a better job but the job but you get can never cover the cost of the house, car, meal plan, and RELATIONSHIP STATUS. Yes they force you to get a spouse, kids, a side chick, and grandkids just to get a job and you have to pay a monthly fee for these as well. If you try to reduce your expenses then they make you start from the beginning because they fire you! The only way to possibly win is by gambling or the stock market which are both chance based. And luckily I didn’t fall into the trap of buying anything in game; however my friend bought the $10 car and it was helpful at first but when he finally ran out of money and lost his job it forced him to get rid of the car he PAID REAL MONEY FOR and the only way he was able to get the car back was to pay about 40k or so in game cash which he couldn’t achieve because they forced him into bankruptcy. The game has a great concept but it is broken. It seems too hard to win even if you do pay.
