Reviews for Lands of Jail

in the beginning the game was good. should start off by saying the graphics they play to preview the game don't match up at all. second, I'm at a point where it doesn't seem fun anymore and I'm just continuously upgrading things. wish it was more jail and inmate focused, seems alot of upgrading and getting supplies focused

Pay to win game, don't play this unless your completely fine wasting money on this greedy game. Don't expect to spend little and get far, you need to spend alot. For example the collection in the trove is a prime example. spending $5 is only enough to do 1-2 upgrades at early stages which is where im at and there's 6 collection gear you can upgrade. Don't spend money on the game :(

the game is listed as a "tycoon" and "simulation." IT IS NOT. I spent hours playing, thinking that it was a cool idle prison tycoon game. But then, at level 5, you learn that this is an alliance multiplayer game, where you are on a huge battle map crowded by other players, you get attacked by other players, need shields, have "rallies", etc. I'm not a fan of those games. if that's not your type of game, steer clear. it's not as advertised. even the screenshot don't show the multi-player aspects.

The game was just like all the others in this genre. I played it for about 15 mins, then uninstalled it. I can tell that it will eventually require spending to really progress, and the beginning process is entirely too slow for what you are doing in the game. Graphics and story are basic. If you've played any type of idle tycoon type game you can skip this one.

I like the game itself. However, I keep getting griefed by other players on my server. I don't have any options to change servers either, so decided I'm done playing. I really don't feel like starting over after all the time and work I spent on my current prison. Just done. Uninstalled it. I don't recommend using server 70 if you're a new player. They have big clans with lots of power who spend all their time destroying defenseless individuals like myself.

Probably the best game of its type I've played. There are traditional gimmicks seen in all these games, but the learning curve is satisfying, the graphics are fun, it's generally pleasant to be in the "alliances" with others, and there's a solid translator to help everyone in the world communicate. People insisting it's pay-to-win or that energy runs out too quickly clearly haven't understood the game yet, nor how to balance resources well. This is a great little addictive time-waster!

not as advertised, gotta reload the game constantly when you boot up, because they can't fix the black screen, you are most likely gonna load into, get stuck on a server, that is dead and you don't like it, spend cash, no migration, but you can make a new account on another server and spend more money, support is mostly bot responses, if I didn't use Google play cards to purchase, I'd refund the 7 grand I put into it, buyer remorse big time.

terrible game. the game allows other players to attack and destroy other players that are at a vastly lower level. the attacked player is not permitted to attack the attacker because the other player is more than 10 levels higher. so in essence, you can have your game destroyed but unable to retaliate. so, you are required to spend a lot of money to play.

It was new and trending, The previews make it look to be different from other games already established like it. It's misleading and the worst part is, the Dev. Play alongside you boosting up "free" to instill some "real purchase" motive to keep up with them. Then when you don't bend, they unleash P2W advantages on you. I would highly recommend you spend your time on something better and not a copy of other games.

It starts out okay like some kind of prison tycoon but like others here have said, it turns out to be a world spanning alliance game. Well, okay, whatever, I still tried to play. I'm just simply hitting a wall now though, there's nothing to really do but wait for upgrades now and the prison may as well just be a military base. It feels conflicted on what it wants to be. it's also very monetized so if you don't spend money you'll be raided by much stronger players and there's nothing you can do.

First off, it's nothing like the ad, which was disappointing. The game at the start where you manage and build your prison was enjoyable untill you reach a certain point and it became a copy paste pvp war game like all the others, alliences and all. Uninstalling, the devs started out with a good game and ruined it. It doesn't even know what kind of game it is.

This was such a fun game. No ads interrupting your game play. No forced purchases. Unfortunately all of a sudden yesterday morning, the app stopped loading. I have cleared app cache, and it still does not load. I tap on the app to open it, a black screen comes up, then the app closes. It just stopped working out of nowhere. Been trying for two straight days to get in so I can play but it seems to be broken. No new update available either.

ALL these games want NO limit on who can attack who. Once a level, that is more than two levels higher attacks me, I rate the game as "1." It is a gimmick to promote sales. I am not your wallet. You want me to have fun with you game? LIMIT THE LEVELS THAT CAN ATTACK. THEN I may consider *buying* portions of this game. But doubt it...because I am not going to be around to know if you are going to be the very first to limit such attacks -- without a price.

this game started out unique and i found it oddly entertaining, until you reach a certain level. then it is another copy paste alliance war game, money hungry. I was very disappointed! wish they would have stayed with the beginning gameplay and expanded on that, instead of being like a different version of whiteout, or the abundance of other similar alliance heavy king of the server get to the center of the map games. if you like that style gameplay, this is a different way to play the same

This game, like all others of the same style, is pay to play. For the first few weeks on a new server you will be ok not spending or spending very little. After that period if you don't pay at least enough to keep a shield up. $25+ a week you will not survive. Sure you can keep logging in but you will never gain any progress. It will only be to feed the paying players resources. All the highest paying players will become allies and farm everyone else. Sure it can be fun, but know what it is

It's a waste of time. At first, the game was entertaining and seemed different than most other games. However, it changed into what many other games are...it turned into a Pay-to-Win or Pay-to-Play. In order to even have a chance at enjoying this game you have to start spending money not long after starting. Otherwise you will fall behind in power level and be relentlessly attacked by Whale Spenders. The community in-game is also pretty toxic making it a very unenjoyable experience.

The ads for this game are completely misleading. They are absolutely NOTHING like the actual game play. Also unless you are prepared to spend a lot of money you will not advance very far or fast and will be way behind the majority of other player. Game actually is somewhat fun but between the completely misleading ads and the system which makes it very difficult to advance without spending money make me leave this low rating. Honestly I wish Id never downloaded this game.

this is a pay to win game. if you don't buy anything, then you just slowly progress. the big spenders will attack and burn you. then you have to start all over again, which takes weeks to get back to where you were. so beware. if you don't spend, you lose. after some issues with players wanting to be a big bad man, we had enough and left. I'll be deleting this and never play a pay to win game again. good luck.

It's a very fun game. However, I hate that they have offers for purchase on the screen. I have 11 boxes of offers to purchase, even though I've already made a purchase to support the devs. It covers the top right of the screen. Then at the bottom you can't disable chat so that's constantly popping up. Then there's a mission that pops up right above chat that will be there for another 2 days and 23 hours before it disappears. I can't play a game with all that craziness on screen. uninstalling.

While initially fun, this is like every other strategy game which requires a lot of spending to be competitive; resources speedups gear gacha mechanics shard purchases etc... I started on a new server, and within a day half of the players already quit. I don't recommend this game because of there is very little longevity and is not F2P friendly.
