Hempire - Weed Growing Game Reviews

by Thinkinallthetime247

I’ve played this game for a month or more and I have a lot of property and a car and I lost my trailers and everything else due to a update! I can’t believe that I wasted my time on this game it’s very unfair that you do an update and I can’t get that update on my iPhone in the Apple store without losing everything because I had to reinstall the game! I’m not interested in starting all over on this game now, I’m out! I spent a lot of time getting to the level I was at with this game , I’m very disappointed that I lost everything! Please don’t put other people through this

Update I’ve chose to keep playing his game however I wish I knew why I’ve had to lose everything on it ! It’s kinda boring now playing it but on level 5 now it’s a slow process to get the to level I was playing at it’s why it was such a bummer that I lost everything because my game was blocked due to the needed update then I had no update option in Hempire Store showing so I was told to reinstall the game it’s how I lost everything now! But I’m gonna stay just an still sad I’ve lost my building and my trailers and my city hall building and the friends I could buy from too!

Update: I wanted to say the developer returned my game to the 26th level I was on and I really want to thank them! I spend a lot of my free time playing this game and another one I have too!

I loved this game for two days. Then I got more and more frustrated. You need to gather a lot of supplies to level things up, but you only have a limited amount of space to store them. I was constantly accumulating too many supplies to store, but I didn’t have enough of any the things needed to actually level things up. As the game progressed, more supplies were added and the problem got worse and worse. The Dispensary didn’t sell things very fast, so I had to delete a lot of supplies. Getting rid of the supplies messes you up too when you need them later. And the worst part was that if your shed was full and you couldn’t add to it, the materials that you left out in the “world” would disappear after a few minutes! So you couldn’t collect them later even if you needed them. I was often left not being able to do anything. And I didn’t want to make deals or fix things because then more supplies drop that you can’t collect! It was just really frustrating and I ended up deleting Hempire . This game has potential, but needs a bit of work.

It’s a good game but you’re also limited on the inventory you could hold for upgrades for example shovels buckets and light bulbs so if you picked up stuff you don’t need yet (because they’re rewards for making sales with a character) and you’re full and an upgrade for your shed needs is almost fulfilled all you need is a bucket and you get one as a reward you cannot pick it up because you’re inventory is full and doesn’t let you move forward with your upgrade of YOUR SHED that ALSO WILL BE MOVING YOU EVEN FURTHER but instead it was made to cause a stalemate I also seen they ruined the game on a lot of new reviews I wish I had seen the old version ALSO I FORGOT TO ADD IF YOU DONT PICK UP THOSE perks like shovel bucket watering can, etc they disappear and now you gotta hope you get another maybe 4 days down the road and you hope you’re investors isn’t full you really need those items you can’t let them disappear because of them not being able to bought or made they’re just giving in sales so it screws you over need to fix that

This game is fun in the beginning when you are building the houses, etc. After you finish building everything it gets very boring. You will also notice that materials you need to build things become very sparse or non- existent. But when you buy diamonds the items suddenly appear. When you play the train game, it is amazing how quickly another player that was never signed up just suddenly appears and flies by your score. There is no way anyone could unless they buy tons of diamonds or it is rigged. I swear it is rigged by the designers of the game playing against you. They want you to buy more diamonds. Once you buy more diamonds you will see that the other player you are competing against ( the game designer) score gets higher that yours. Just a sneaky tactic to get you to buy more diamonds. It is like the designers ran out of things to add to the game to keep players coming back. Do yourself a favor and don’t spend a red cent on this game. The game designers are con artists!

I really like this game and it keeps me coming back throughout the day to check on my plants and make sales. I like working to upgrade the different shops and keep the town in good repair. But there is one thing that keeps me from giving it five stars and makes me want to chuck my phone across the room every now and then. The breeding of strains needs to be fixed. It is so frustrating to have two of the three properties of your bud upgraded fully and struggle to get the spinner to land on the third one. I get that you want us to spend diamonds every now and then and I don’t have a problem doing that, but after spending an increasing amount of diamonds on extra spins and not getting anything for it I want to delete the game. I have enjoyed the game enough to spend money to purchase diamonds and would probably do so again in the future, but not if I continue having to waste so many of them just to upgrade my stains.

This game has a great idea to it, working your way through a community and gaining respect as well as profit throughout the journey makes the game appealing. I just am not one for timed games, having to wait so long for something to be done in a game I want to play makes it more challenging to really enjoy it. There’s also items that only pop up once and are basically impossible to get any other way or just never pop up and you have to wait to either save gems to just buy it or forget it and not upgrade which kind of destroys the fun in the game. I currently am having such a hard time with the storage, I have spent a number of days trying to get a shelf from bins all while having no room for storage and continuously Having to sell items that I need. If this doesn’t get fixed or at least looked into then I really find no point for me to continue playing.

I had fun with this game for awhile until it got to the point where growing became irrelevant to progress. It became more about collecting items than playing the missions. The missions had a nice little story to it, but then it just became grow 100 of this or sell 5 of this once they ran out of story. All in all I spent about 4 months on the game, but at the end I just found myself logging in every 2 or 3 days because I needed to get like 100 items to upgrade something, and the reward just didn’t feel like it was worth the time.

Edit: I went back after taking some time off and it just still feels like inventory hell. I can’t progress in the game because I’m out of inventory, and every time I sell inventory it’s just filled up with useless garbage again. I really wanted to give this game a fair second chance, but I can’t stand a grind, and I’m not even sure what I’m grinding towards. The beginning of the game is the strongest part of it, but it lacks any sort of depth or sense of reward after the initial story.

This is by far the #1 weed game on Hempire Store and the only reason why I am rating this a four is not because it didn’t earn a 5 but because it has so much more room to grow. The first thing to mention is the strains. With there being only 9 strains in the game it would be awesome for you to bring out even more of the popular strains to the game to give you more to do. The other thing I think would benefit the game would be to be able to trade or sell goods to friends instead of just having to you use the market which I don’t find very helpful when I rarely see anything I’m actually looking to buy. The number one thing I would like to see in this game though would be to rearrange the town and really make it yours. I think just these 3 things alone will make this game that much more entertaining and would benefit the game overall.

I played this a few months ago and it was fun at first but quickly became very frustrating. I decided to try it again after reading about the newer updates and I must admit they have vastly improved the pace of the game and how engaging it is. The developers or whomever is in charge of social media helped me recover my original account so I didn’t have to start from scratch. All in all I’m quite happy with it. Yes it’s easier if you pay but it’s not required to enjoy the game.

My only advice for players is to prioritize upgrading your crop and item storage as soon and as often as you can, otherwise you will be frustrated. Lights and cooling should be after that as they help you grow more and upgrade your plants. Once you get access to the global market it should be smooth sailing. Happy growing!

Cheers to whomever helped me recover my account.

Edit 3: Well now we are back sliding. I was thoroughly enjoying the game again and then they go an mess up the this app Cup. They make it harder, which is okay I guess but then they take away 2/3 of the reward you get for playing in it. I see the end coming for my playing this game. Oh well there are thousands of game apps out there I am sure I will find another I like. Edit 2: Also forgot to say earlier that I contacted customer support once already for an issue I was having and recommended this as an alternative to a completely negative review they were very helpful and mindful of even a very low spender like myself give them a chance to help you before you go off on them. End Edit 2. Edit: " The following issue may have been resolved. I was able to log on and collect my winnings in the this app Cup within 15 minutes" End Edit. This is a great game I love playing but I still think they might need more servers. When the this app cup ends I can't get on my game for at least two hours because it keeps on telling me I've lost Internet connection which is funny because my Facebook works by slot machines work and all my other apps work. Now I understand this is a fairly new game and I'm hoping that they're working on getting more servers to handle more traffic I'll continue to play it's just frustrating when the this app cup ends and I can't get anything done

I love this game! It’s very entertaining and a good balanced challenge that keeps me coming back! I love pretty much every aspect of the game except for one error I have been encountering with after having the dispensary open. Whenever I have too much in my storage and want to choose to delete an item from my storage, one of the main characters says that because I have my dispensary open I don’t need to be deleting items. While that’s nice and all, I also have no immediate space in tree dispensary most of the time, I try to leave room but just can’t all the time. So whenever I try to delete an item, the same message keeps repeating, telling me that I should use the dispensary. This seems to be a coding issue I really think should be fixed. I’m losing really nice items I need to continue playing the game when I “clean up” the neighborhood.

I’m really hoping to see a developer response, as well as a correction to this bug!

I must start by saying i love this game...but unfortunately the new update takes away some things and then you need vip to get back some things you lost...i have no problem paying 6 bucks but you should get more instead of taking away then making people pay to get back...the despensary now has less slots..meaning more commercials and you have a vip slot..see even less buying options being alot of people will not get vip and cannot use that slot as well...i do like that they have expanded it..however..what you lose vs what you gain is not worth it..stay on the older version until they balance it to make it worth it for vip status...but i love the game...it is qreat..except for the new update.....

The brand new update with the new weed in wheels is amazing!...they really sped up the game and it gives a much better game experience!!..thank you!!..excited to see what is next

by Jn1365

The game itself is good it’s in depth fun and user friendly (for the most part) but there are little things in the game that are so annoying. There a week competitions to see who can breed the best weed and that’s cool and all but the spinner wheel that is used to upgrade the weed strain is actually stupid. If you dont lands on something good you wont ever 99.8% of the time the wheel lands on some part of the strain i dont need upgraded and you can respin but the respin will almost always be right where the original was or 2 cm away it barely ever changes and is probably the most annoying thing about the game especially when your in high end competitions and need to upgrade your strain which gets more difficult and takes more time the better you upgrade your strain. It needs to be fixed but this game barley listens to what the people want from my experience.

Edit; I emailed Andrew, and he was super helpful and kept in communication the whole time he was trying to resolve the issue. I feel that he went above my expectations to make sure I was satisfied with the resolution and I deeply appreciate it, considering the bad taste I had in my mouth for the support efforts. Overall, I’m glad that I decided to stay!

I used to love this game! I mean in all actuality the game itself is great, but imagine putting months of time into something and then one day, because of an update, it’s gone, including the money you spent on in app purchases....and no one will help you get it back, they won’t even return the messages. Imagine how frustrating that can be before you download this game because it could happen. My game got stuck during the update(I updated it and it didn’t ever actually update, causing an error) and I wasn’t able to access it. I was instructed by support to uninstall Hempire (no one told me it would delete all game progress) after FOUR days, I get a generic response from Dan, the support guy, who was absolutely NO help and even now, as I decided to rebuild my this app, I’m still getting no assistance from support, not even an I’m sorry. What kind of customer service is that....so, all in all, if you can live without contacting support, or needing any kind of assistance at all, download it! It’s fun! Definitely keeps you busy.

Edit: All fixed! You have a great support team!!!

Edit: I’ve emailed and am waiting for a fix now! :)

So I'm currently having an issue where I can’t upgrade grandma’s house so it is able to produce chocolate. I’m level 27 at the moment, and I was confused on why I hadn’t found the blueprints for the house upgrade, and googled it. Level 21 is when the blueprints unlock for this upgrade, apparently, and I don’t have them in my inventory. I think perhaps the blueprints disappeared when I completed a quest - as upgrade materials do after they have been sitting out for a while. Basically I’m stuck, and I believe there should be a fix of some sort to prevent this from happening. Looking forward to future fixes for this.

Updated: this app is adding new content to the game! It’s updating now! Can’t wait to see!

I’ve been playing the game for the past year and thought I was progressing nicely, until someone in my enterprise showed me the highlights of trading in the dispensary and global market. After upgrading and maxing your factories and houses, and trailers... upgrade the town... it starts to get boring... until the trading was introduced to me! The other players used a different term, but I call it GROWTH with STRATEGY! Grow your strains, do City Hall Tasks, sell your goods in the dispensary and buy goods in the Global Market! This is where you can spend more game time, and GROW to one day reach Hemperor status! The Enterprise is great to trade with your team, but again... boring, and too limited. Has potential, but this app is not focused on making the Enterprise better for gameplay. Suggestions have been sent and ignored. Customer Service is touch and go! They are currently rooting the answers, which is so not cool. They are currently no addressing the issue submitted, so it is either someone that can’t read or a robot! Service used to be stellar - but it has dwindled tremendously and I have to rise to Hey - I’m not stupid and this isn’t the first time on a computer or this game! Then, I get attention by a brain! Other than that, the game has great potential to be even better - if they listen to the players input! Not for children!

Been playing for over a year. I’ve never had to spend money to make progress, and diamonds are really easy to earn. I have never had issues with the game crashes or not loading. It has a nice flow to it and the graphics are bright and clear.
However, I’m at a point where I’ve updated most of the buildings and only need a couple items to finish those, but they are really hard to come by. It definitely takes a lot of patience! It takes a really long time to earn cash and to level up. It would be great to improve the fences, trees, bushes, etc. easier. That part really doesn’t make sense to me. I also think the mutagens are pretty worthless. More buildings, products, and strains would also add a lot to the game.

I truly love this game. I like the stories about the various people (potheads, family, creeps, dealers, cops and such). There is only one thing I don’t like, but I’m sure it will never be changed by the powers that be over this game. There are also several bugs still, but nothing so serious that it messes up my game. When I’m playing it makes me want to smoke a joint.
This is quite a sophisticated app. The images are amazing - doesn’t look like it was drawn by a child. There was clearly a lot of thought that went into this game. There is a lot to keep the player busy until the player has upgraded everything, then there’s not a lot left to do beside grow, harvest and fill orders. I have a long list of suggestions to improve the game if they were ever interested in hearing my suggestions, but I doubt it. Can’t blame them. This is their baby.

I love this app, I’ve been playing it for almost a year now. I complete quests fairly fast, and then I finish them all & just stop playing the game. Their isn’t anything very fun to do when there’s no quests. I would really enjoy to at least be able to redo quests I’ve already done, I love the game but I end up waiting way to long for my liking to do more quests. Also, I have SO much money and nothing to buy. I’ve bought literally everything I can with my money and still have 30 mil to do nothing on. It’s be nice to be able to spend money on things like upgrading the town itself and making it look more fancy or whatever you want. But really, anything I can buy with my money would be great. I’ve bought all plants, cars and trees that I can and there isn’t much else to buy with my money. EDIT-WHEN WILL THE NEXT UPDATE BE? I’VE RAN OUT OF QUESTS AGAIN. (Not meant to sound angry just need to make it noticeable😂) I hope you guys see this and make changes as soon as possible !!

I'm loving this game; however, after s short time your inventory will be full, everything full, which is very frustrating for things like building materials. To search potholes, benches, etc it will fill up your supply inverntory; then if an item does come out of a bench, you can't pick it up due to Inventory gridlock. Now it is impossible to make any upgrade without throwing some money at the paywall to increase space. I don't mind giving the devs some money, as I love the game; but the inventory issue is destroying a lot of my fun. If you were still able to delete items in your inventory that would help, at least for the storage supply house. Hopefully, as I progress, this doesn't keep happening! One small suggestion would be selling your extra buds for next to nothing etc. one dollar a bud for quick inventory dump. Like I said I love this game; but with the constraints of space, lack of quests at times; extreme rarity of certain supplies, and the obvious paywall the fun I could be having is turning into dissatisfaction. I want to master buds without jacking inventory! Im all about fun and challenge; but I am very concerned these constraints will force me to uninstall Hempire .

Update !!
After getting more into the game I realized this game is great and worth 5 stars. The inventory isn’t an issue for smart enthusiasts and the world market is rad.

I got into this game because I have become bored with Wiz Khalifa‘s weed farm which I still play but it became to be a bit repetitive and I wanted a cannabis growing game that was more detailed in involved with the cab is growing process. You know Jessica something a little different. I happen to see an ad about the game and downloaded I was really excited and enjoy did it first I get the wording on plants select your strain breed strains clean up the city increase net worth various other things. I did get a little frustrated with the game after a little bit because being that the game is structured like a cannabis version of GTA there are certain things that you have to do before you can progress to other levels and do other things being a novice at this I wasn’t aware of how to get around it but once I read the guide which is easily accessible directly from the game it was much easier to learn what to do. The challenge and nature of the game I like because I don’t like Wiz Khalifa‘s weed farm is not a simple love pick a strain have to get some coin harvest them and start over this game actually takes thought and strategy to play which is why I like it especially since I’m starting to really get the hang of it now. Empire is a really good game for those that want to play weed growing game where you have to strategize and you want to game that’s a little bit more involved in terms of building an actual cannabis business.
