You may be aware of the ad problem, but as a Playgendary game, it’s money-hungry and god-awful. It basically forces you to buy more ‘bucks’ because there are giant gaps between weapons which can take a while to get. Theres an unskippable ad between every two deaths and an ad you can choose to watch every one death. Not only is that an issue, the quickest way to get certain guns which were previously purchasable by bucks (mind you, ive played this game a year or two ago) is to watch 5-20 ads in clumps. The gameplay is even worse. I played with the mace and at first got a hundred bucks in two deaths. After i got 900 bucks, it started giving me about 10 bucks per play. After five ads i could’ve just used to get another gun, i got the bomb. It gives you one buck per explosion, so unless you plan on using thousands of bombs to progress, you may want to find new weapons. Even with new weapons, you get barely any gold. The argument that the game is purposefully hard is invalid as well, because even if that was true, they’re not making it hard for any reason other to make you watch more ads. Sometimes a few hits from a weapon will give you a quick 40 bucks, but will kill the buddy, giving you the choice to watch an ad. Another kill and you have to watch an ad, and the cycle repeats. If you most literally have nothing to do for days at a time, this game is for you.

I used to Kick Buddy all the time in the old version of the game. I just re-installed to see if I could bring back some memories and on first launch they told me to buy a premium membership for $7.99/week which is INSANE. I don’t because I figured it won’t hinder my gameplay, but boy was that wrong. 75% of the items you can buy with in-game currency are Premium member EXCLUSIVE. If you don’t pay them weekly, you get the most basic weapons and items to use on Buddy. After a few minutes of playing I was already fed up with this game, and then the ad waves hit. I got ad after ad. It even glitched half my screen after closing one and crashed the game another time. I can’t believe they have the audacity to ask for an insane weekly payment like that, while they’re getting paid for showing an ad every 15 seconds. If you don’t buy Premium, the game is 75% unplayable or locked, and almost 90-95% unplayable with the ads and crashes. I used to want as many people as possible to play this game back before this new release, but now it is the steamiest pile of trash on the App Store.

And to the developers,
Thanks for ruining my old memories and many other people’s with this obvious attempt at a cash whale. Your greed is going to be your downfall if you don’t change the way you run your game. Good luck trying to scam anyone with this game.

I thought this would be kind of entertaining at first, and it might actually be a really cool game, but only if you are willing to spend either a lot of money on a ridiculous subscription system, or sacrifice a lot of time watching videos of 30 seconds each. I understand that developers need to win some money, and this is usually OK with me, nevertheless this is way too much.

If you don’t want to spend money (just as me) then you will have to watch a series of videos to unlock a few things to use; depending on the “quality” of the item, they ask you to see certain amount of ads (there were some items that required me to see 20 videos to unlock). Ok, I was willing to accept that, when I found out the app has a limit of videos you can see to unlock stuff, and when you reach it, you have to wait a couple hours to unlock more videos. I mean, you have to wait to be able to see advertisement. That’s ridiculous! I’ve already deleted it. You literally spend more time watching videos than actually playing the game.

On the bright side, you can say this is entertaining and definitively funny, but this flaws I mentioned kind of ruined the experience. In other words it’s a pay-to-enjoy kind of game. I barely rate something, but I thought this was worth my opinion, hope it might be useful to someone.
