AdVenture Communist Reviews

by Dankmemehunter420x

I’ve been playing this game for probably a year now and it’s a very fun idle game. I’ve watched hundreds of ads to support the game and developers and to help progress myself further in the game. However, when claiming free chests, the placement of the chests that cost gold (very slow accumulating currency that can be purchased with real money for better upgrades) is right next to it. Since there is a lot of tapping when opening the chests, I’ve accidentally tapped and purchased chests with my gold that I didn’t want to. There is a pop up that asks if I want to spend my gold on the chest, but as I explained, there is a lot of tapping when opening chests so it’s very easy to hit ‘Confirm’ when you don’t want to. I’ve lost probably over 1000 gold from this which is VERY disheartening as there is no way to get it back. It happened to me recently where I lost 750 gold (approximately $7.50 USD) from this. In the end, is it my fault? Yes, but the fact is this could be easily fixed by placing chests that are purchased with gold further down from the free chests. After this recent incident of losing 750 gold, I’ve decided to call it quits with this game after playing many hours and watching ads consistently over the past year.

I have played adventure capitalist since it first came out. I have invested money into this game as well to get some boost in game. None of my boost carried over to the new updates game, for example I bought a boost that would allow me to have unlimited ad boost, this has not carried over to the new update and forces me to watch video instead. When I went to do a free gold trial (Witch took about a week of my time to do) I was only greeted with never getting my gold. The developers that run the free gold rewards stated that I had received my gold and should receive it “shortly”. I waited for weeks and not received this gold as of yet. I have tried to reach out on the forums and have not gotten a response. As for the new update it feels like a stale “Clash Royale” card based system that pretty much REQUIRES you to pay to advance your way in the game (unlike the previous update). This new update also has went from a 2018 graphics game to a cumbersome 2000’s style graphic. I don’t know If this was intentional or not but it is extremely annoying. The update has ruined the game and has taken it from a great, fun 5-Star game to a boring, confusing, money grabbing, 1-Star game. I’m not hating on the game (seriously I loved the game before the update) I just wish there could be LOTS of changes made to the game.

This game is fun and simple to learn. However, it quickly encounters pacing problems as your level increases and the fun is lost as it is replaced with pure grind. The biggest issue in my opinion is the scarcity of science. Obviously this critical resources is made extremely rare so as to entice players to spend cash to make in-app purchases. Ironically, the incredibly slow pacing, once you reach levels in the 30s, is actually a deterrent to spending money because each level gained will open an identically level but with level goals set even higher, slowing down advancement exponentially as your science can’t keep pace.

My suggestion to the developers would be it make the upper levels achievable with out huge sums of cash. If the upper levels were attainable more people might spend a little money every few levels to advance but at the current pacing you need to be willing to spend 20-30 bucks a level just to maintain. And that number would increase as you for higher. The incentive just isn’t there.

I’d give this game 4-5 stars if the pacing was better. But as is, it gets boring fast and while I spend money on games, this game doesn’t seem worth it.

I guess the developers once again nerfed the game to increase sales for crates and gold because as of now I did the math and it will take me 3.6 weeks to complete just 1 of the challenges I have on level 44 right now. It used to take roughly a week or 2 to finish 1 level even at level 40 and that was completing 12 challenges per level. I’ve been playing for a long time and this keeps happening after new updates. I barely get enough science to upgrade what I need so I end up having no science but 15 different cards I can update at 4000 science each and then I’m offered science and gold every day to purchase because the devs know they are screwing you in game. Either give us 100,000 science and 30,000 gold so we can actually get the cards upgraded and move time forward or stop nerfing the game and let the players be able to have fun. Right now I’m basically getting on just to watch ads for the double production and to use my stored comrades. It will still take weeks to get the challenge done. Stop messing with the game! Either give us 5 or 10 times the science and gold each time we open a free crate or drop the insane challenge numbers.

I’ve been playing this game for years and sometimes adboosts have failed and it gives me the message after the as ends. But as of recently the ads play till the end and then my screen darkens and i can no longer interact with the button to close out of the ad. Making the only way for me to get out of the ad is to close the game and reopen it. This happened to me three times in a row on one occasion. This is extremely annoying when you also consider if you’re in an event while this happens with an ad, you have to go through the first screen and then to the event upon restarting making it all the more tedious on top of how tedious it is to let ads run on your phone several times in a row to achieve some sort of success in the game without spending money. The boosts are a core function of what makes the game accessible and a better business model than most other ios games these days. The way I see this is the ad boosts not functioning is essentially taking away a core mechanic of the game which should function very smoothly. Don’t even get me started on how predatory some of the ads are either. The game having this flaw leads me to
believe it’s really unacceptable in this state. The only reason I’ve given this two stars and not one is because I truly do enjoy this game and it’s an amazing time killer that’s unique from many other games. Just sad that it’s become this frustrating to use the mechanic the games namesake is after

So the big update finally got here! Was happy, updated and went back in the game.... what is this, I thought. I was taken by surprise, I expected inor UI changes, but this is like a new app now! My rating has to be three stars because it is so much more confusing now. I had easy access before, with missions, science, and gold. Now it is so weird. Ad boost is different as well... the gameplay itself may have improved, but the looks are down bad, first of all, it is now a half screen, both sides of my iPad are black squares, and now buttons are smaller, and graphics went from 2018 to 1990, it is just pixels now. The in game “currency” is changed. Seems like cost of things is up for science... the industries are renamed, and it lost all sound. Not sure why you made the game look like an old arcade game but it’s terrible, I liked the old version a lot better. I haven’t played since, I’m so confused, so lost, and feels like my progress is gone even though it is not, but the changes made what I earned insignificant now. I’m not trying to be rude, but this is important feedback I wanted to give. Please remove the pixel graphics, re add or fix bugs with the sound, and please make navigation simpler. This is a good game overall so I won’t give up on it, but this pretty much ruined my experience. Thanks for reading...

The game has a great theme and clever mechanics in how you don’t use money, but 5 separate resources, and there’s a cascading system of production which is really fun. I’ve played the game many times, ever since it was a PC beta. The new upgrade system is better than anything that came before by far and for the first thirty levels the game feels relatively rewarding and largely fun if a little repetitive compared to other offerings like Realm Grinder.

However, the progression really seems to break down by level 40. At this point nee buildings come every couple of levels and a new card every other level, but by level 42 it still takes a week to progress even if you’re clicking a lot of adds. It needs rebalancing of the late game, either upgrades need to grow in cost slower, research rewards need to be more generous, higher level cards needs to be unlocked faster, something. It can be hard to play the game at all when the first mission you get out of 15 is one you simply won’t be able to complete at all, and the next one will take four or five days. If the game doesn’t give you a new building or even card every rank then finishing a rank shouldn’t be such a long grind. It’s great that this game has gotten more work done and a refresh but it definitely needs more. I also should have gotten at least one red card by rank 42, or been able to buy one with all the free gold I’ve made (haven’t spent any).

After playing and beating Adventure Capitalist in it's entirety over the course of a year and a half this game just seems like it's missing a little something. The gameplay is just as addictive and fun as Capitalist was, but lacks the extra events and quick movement from the parent game. In comparison, Adventure Communist moves quite slowly, due to it's research and researcher type style of gaining boosts. There are many times where I am gaining no usable researchers and also lack the high amounts of research that becomes required very quickly, and I understand that it's to keep the game busy, but there have been DAYS between where I could even do anything in the game. I would suggest implementing a small general boost to product gain separate from research that increases based on your rank. I would also suggest a possible tab that can be upgraded using a mix of all the resources that produces a certain amount of research points per day, nothing crazy and the resources cost amount should increase dramatically or provide only a small yet fair amount per upgrade. This would allow only slightly quicker movement through the game, but would keep visible progress alive throughout it's entirety. Otherwise, a great game that passes the time very well, a well done sequel to an enormously popular game that deserves high attention. This game has evolved drastically and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.

I really like this game. You can look at all the other reviews to get an idea of all the good this game has. I 100% agree with them. The thing I want to touch on is how the game feels compared to its adversary Adventure Capitalist. I feel that this game is missing the charm it’s predecessor had. There were so many things that made Adventure Capitalist enjoyable. The two I wanted to touch on were the hilarious amounts of money and all of the little references and jokes whenever you bought an upgrade. I feel like that’s missing from this game. The long, made-up numbers of octosextillion are no longer here and are replaced with simple letters. This was a huge letdown for me. Second, the jokes are references aren’t as freelance as they were in Adventure Capitalist. You used to have so many upgrades with short little lines for each. Now there are portraits with a quote in them, but it’s not as easily to enjoy it. A casual player could simply tap right through all the portraits and get back to farming potatoes. And the quotes for each portrait are only accessible if you tap on the portrait in your own time. I feel like this brings a lot of charm out of the game. It would be nicer if the little quotes for each portrait were easier to see while casually playing through the game. Also, I wish the exaggerated numbers would return. That was one of my favorite parts of Adventure Capitalist. Now, back to spending all of my comrades on potatoes!

I’ve been playing Adventure Communism since it’s early days and have loved every minute of it, especially after it’s facelift that was released a while back. The events are fun and addicting; I’m grateful that there is more than one event per week now after the recent update. The operations and tier rewards, even without the Supreme Pass, offer great incentives for playing this game long-term and makes it stand out from most other idle games that eventually become tiring. The battery saver feature is awesome but doesn’t stay on forever after enabling it for some reason, but that’s nothing major.

My only major complaint (which is why my review is 4 stars, not 5) is that Adventure Communism doesn’t take advantage of the screen real estate for iPhone X and older models that have a full screen display. I understand that the notch may present problems with scaling it up to take up the whole screen, but there’s still a noticeable chuck of gray area below the notch and at the bottom of the phone that isn’t being used. I would love to see more of my industries at once if it were stretched just a bit more. I’m sure some people may prefer it the way it is now, so a one-handed mode in settings may be allow those players to preserve the way it looks now.

This one has a darker atmosphere than the first, and the music isn’t anywhere near as brilliant than on the first one. I beat the first game, and loved it. But this one just isn’t that fun... not to mention I don’t like how you can’t hold it sideways, that stinks a whole lot, because I played the first one like that but this one I can’t so that makes it feel pretty different. Also it seems to be that there is so much more in a way that feels a bit overwhelming. :( There are still a few more reasons why this isn’t that good, but i just wanna say in the end i woulda just been happy for this to be like the first game but with more things to do, which this isn’t really like that... boo!! Disappointing results in this one!! (But I will keep for now just in case, but in the mean time it kinda is horrible. I’m only keeping it for the sake of it being adventure capitalist, not because of the actual content, just like how the people who like Star Wars Ep. 8 only like it because it’s Star Wars. That movie would’ve done horrible if it weren’t, it was just the brand that made it good, not the content)

I enjoy both Adventure Capitalist and Adventure Communist, playing ACap for over two years expanding to ACom. The game play is definitely a challenge and takes a lot more thought than ACap, which I love. The concept is great too.

I take a star off because of the time warps. ACap has multiple types of time warps, from a few hours to two weeks at varying price points and free 30 minute jumps every few hours. ACom only has three, their one hour warp being 50 gold and their 1 day time warp is 750 gold (ACap is 10 gold for a day and 40 gold for two weeks). While the actual cost of gold varies between the games ( 1 gold = $0.09 in ACap and 1 gold = $0.01 in ACom), it’s still much more expensive for the time warps in ACom (a days time warp costs $7.50 in ACom and $0.90 in Acap, 2 week warp costing $3.60). While I’m happy to support the devs and purchase from them, ACom is just far too expensive. I would really recommend a lower price point of warps and adding more warps. While the games aren’t the same, it’s sad that ACom is that much more expensive.

Hi there!

First off, I thoroughly enjoy this game. It’s a lot of fun and something I look forward to hopping on and playing when I wake up and my comrades have built up. You guys have done amazing work with the details you’ve put in and the regular updates to make the game even better. I really enjoy the special events as well. It makes for a faster paced game and a nice goal to achieve by the end of the event. Now, with that said I do have one issue with the special event. I wish your cards that were previously upgraded from the last special event (ie the last space race to the next space race) stayed upgraded. Since they do not stay upgraded I know exactly what rank I’m going to get to before even starting the event unless I pay real money (which I’m a classic gamer and loathe micro transactions but that’s a different story). If you guys could make it so there was an opportunity to get the max rank during the event without spending real money that would be amazing!

Thank you for your time and continued updates for this great game.

I’ve been playing this game for quite a while and unlike most clicker games that I get bored of and delete after a week I’ve kept this one for the most time. I used to play this when it first came out but I said before I got bored and deleted it... but when I saw my friend playing it and all the knew updates they made, I decided to give it a shot again. My favorite part of the game is the rank/ prestige feature because it’s what keeps the game challenging and rewarding at the same time. I’ve reached a point where at times I’m at a standstill in the game and I have to wait some time before making progress again but for some reason It doesn’t bother me like when this happens in other games. I was a huge fan of adventure capitalist and I feel like this is just a way better version of the same game my younger self used to play. (My real personal favorite part of the game is the hints dropped in to the scientists’ names similar to the managers in adventure capitalist, but I feel like no one would understand if I wrote an entire review based on that so yeah...)

Update: I really appreciate the Team's prompt and understanding response. I will follow the advice that once I see the misogynistic ads again, a screenshot will be sent to the help team. Temporarily giving the 5 stars back because this is what the game itself deserves.

Update: Misogynistic ads such as Project Makeover featuring body shaming and Hero wars unnecessarily putting sexually tortured women as rewards in the towers. Moreover. Zombie ads are coming back. All of these ads are not reportable and kept coming back even if i adjusted my preferences. An addictive game with lots of fun. I like the overall design of the graphics and schemes. Wonderful work! I couldn't remember why on earth I removed it. Therefore, I downloaded and started to play it again. Then I realize it was because that the ads on a zombie game was too scary to watch. I am ok with all other ads but that one is really making me uncomfortable. And that one turns up with highest frequency to me. Is there a way to tune ad preferences? Update: Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply.

I’ve been playing this game for over a year now and loved every moment of it. The developers really thought out every detail to make this game as fun as it is. However, I have a suggestion that would improve the overall look of the game for many players. Currently the game is optimized for devices that have a 16:9 aspect ratio. However, in 2020 many of us play on devices that are longer vertically and have an aspect ratio of 19:9 or 19.5:9. It would make sense to optimize the game so it fits in a larger display rather then having the gray bars on the top and bottom. A simple fix to this would be to extend the size of the industry section of the game and moving the top and bottom portion of the game further up and down. This way the game can be full screen and we won’t have to deal with the gray bars. I really enjoy this game the way it is but I really hope the developers will take this into consideration. Thank you for reading my review.

I love this game and all, because of its unique mechanic. There are a few concerns I do have however. First off, I’m curious what all the industries are. I know that last game, I could tell what they were by going to the missions tab, and you could see a clear image. I’m also wondering why you got rid of the science experiments and copied off the clash royale card mechanics? It’s not bad or all, but I feel like you guys made the odds of dropping a supreme researcher 1 out of 10,000. Also, is it okay if you decrease the rank unlock for the higher rank researchers because it is gonna to take a long time to automate the tier 10 Industry for placebos. My fourth question is why did you have industry only require their own categorical resource instead of others. It’s not bad or all, but it makes the game a tad bit easier. My final question is will you please put more time into this game so me and other glorious leaders can continue to expand their glorious nation? I love your game and the work you put in. Enjoy playing glorious game. I do recommend you play it for yourselves. Until next time.- certain leader

I played this game when I first came out and I loved it! It’s was a really well done and fun experience that I personally think tops all the other big clicker games. When I came back to the game and saw how different it was I will admit I was highly confused at first. However, after playing the game for a while and starting to understand the new mechanics like the crates and the scientist cards, I have to admit that I’m a big fan of all the new changes they have made. I think that they have definitely improved the overall look of the game as well. I just find the new set up aesthetically pleasing. Over all I think that the new update for the game has really put it on a good track for the future. I know this game is getting a lot of bad reviews right now from old fans who aren’t okay with the change. Whenever an app makes a big change like this you are always going to see these things, but it’s important to look at things without nostalgia in mind. I think that all of the changes have made the game a lot more fun. I kinda played the old version, but I've already made it to rank 35 (the max rank as of writing this review) in this version and I find myself highly anticipating the next release of an update. Devs if you are out there I would love to get some dates 😘. In conclusion, the new version of AdVentureCommunist has quickly become my number one comrade dating sim. 10/10

This is the only idle game of its type I’ve ever stuck to playing. It’s fun, requires a little strategy. (so not just a dumb click this button pointless game) and it can be played completely F2P as long as you understand it is an idle game and requires patience.
That being said, at the higher levels it does take awhile to build up comrades (the only real resource required to advance) I wish there was a way to acquire them faster. It can take as long as a week or more to build up enough to progress to the next tier of the higher industries and needless to say that’s no fun.
And then there’s the running out of levels problem, which goes both ways, so on the one hand, if you progress too fast you will hit the level cap, currently at 55. And then there is nothing to do until the next update adds more, so being free to play isn’t a terrible thing. But on the other hand when you hit the level cap you basically might as well just quit playing until the next update.
So all in all GREAT game, but if you’re the impatient sort, you probably won’t enjoy it as much as I do.

I’ve really enjoyed this game. Got to rank 65 without spending a dime. I did watch a looooot of ads and played a lot of those (other) games that rewarded you with in game currency (for reaching a specific point in the game) when that was still an option.

Alas, I am starting to get bored. I hope the wonderful developers of this great game find a new way to entice me so that I don’t drift away from idle masterpiece, yet the process has already begun. Unfortunately, the events that occur every week are always incredibly similar and repeat every week whether they have new content or not. And I’m am to a point in the main game where I’ve something to do the first day and half of ranking up but I progress so quickly in the beginning and so slowly in the end that it’s been over a week in between ranking up where I have nothing to play except allocating my accumulated comrades (which takes all of 15 seconds) and watching ads to keep up my boosts (twice a day). And that is no way to live life.

I repeat, please add a new (permanent) feature that gives further progressed players more to do. I would loath to stop playing this game, but I fear the end is near...
