West Escape Reviews

I like this game a lot. More than I thought I would actually. I am to the point in the game where I need an item for my horse to take it over the bridge. That item is in an Expedition, and nothing I do will allow me to get my CP high enough to do that expedition. I’ve invested 3 days of idle loot gathering, and doing prior missions for chests, etc, and I am still short.

I don’t mind paying for games, and I don’t even mind in-app purchases to smooth things along. I do not like it when I should be able to complete the game watching ads and using time to my advantage, but can’t.

I’m sure that the answer is that I can either spend N more days farming loot, or spend $6 to move ahead, my choice, but it’s challenging to have the time scale be a certain duration for most of the game and then here toward what I assume is close to the end it increases so dramatically.

It is a fun game but you have to watch ads for everything, IF, you hope to do anything outside of waiting endlessly.

Example, you can pay for no “ forced ads”. Great. But if you upgrade you harvesting tool, eventually you needs nails. To make 20 nails you need to wait 20 mins, or watch an Ad to speed it up. Once you get the nails, you go to upgrade your harvesting tool, or the rail cart or the whatever, you need to wait again for that timer. It very quickly becomes 20 mins plus just for the nails, rail cart, harvest tool and etc. So what do you do? Wait or, yep you guessed it, watch one or more ads. Why? Because if your wait time is longer then 20 mins then you need to watch 2 ads or else sit and wait. And this is if you pay to get rid of the random, “ mandatory ads”.

Seriously, who wants to play a game just to be told every 5 mins that you have to wait in order to progress in the game. So your options are to wait constantly to do anything or watch ads back to back to speed things up.


So good game, horrible design and execution. I eventually had to delete it and rank it just above a dumpster fire for entertainment value.

I am really enjoying this game, the gameplay loop is very addicting and there is a ton of stuff to do.

Play style wise it is very similar to their other great game, Idle Breaker, which I have put over 50 hours into.

I pay for the “no ads” option in all of their games because I enjoy them so much.

This game looked to be promising, but once you start it, the action quickly degrades to “beat on everything with a stick, then upgrade your stick with materials, and if you don’t have enough just watch ad after ad after ad.” This is unfortunate because it could be so much more. All the missions could be different, but they are almost all simply repair missions. Let’s all hope that somewhere out there, an amazing, inspiring western-themed game is in development and will soon be available for those of us looking for “something more.”

The game is pretty good except the pop up ads it is ok and good having ads to reduce time and for recourses and chests things like that in the shop but the pop up ads will make people want to play something else instead I know they make me not want to play I watched the ads for other stuff the pop up ads feel like harassment though because I know you want people to pay to remove them take both of those things the option to pay for no ads and the pop up ads out leave the other ads and the game will be much better

This game is enjoyable. The ads show up quite a bit but don’t last for too long. One think they need to add though is a way to fast travel back to previous stages. There are things you can’t break until you get stronger, but once you are strong enough, there’s no way to get back.
I’m looking forward to “The Forest” release date so I can continue playing the game.

When is the update "the forest" being released have been waiting for 3 weeks ?

Same as Idle Breaker; different story. $6 to remove forced ads that play every 45-60 seconds. Must watch all other ads to obtain any reward. More and more games are requiring a purchase(s) to fully enjoy the game. Just like Idle Breaker, you must wait for many updates to enjoy an actual storyline.

I like the game! But there is an ad every 2-3 minutes. Every time I start to lose myself in the game, ad.
Is it necessary to have them so frequently since there is already an ad banner at the bottom of the screen?
I understand there is need to make money but let us enjoy your game!
Sadly, I am going to delete it.

The game is really fun and pulls you. I’ve been enjoying is right up until the ads. I’ve purchased the no ads thing, but ads still are a thing and is frustrating. I still like the game but just need the ads to stop.

It’s easy to play fun to get to know and the controls are easy to use .

I understand the necessity for ads in FTP games. However, I encountered on within a minute of playing. Also having banner ads AND forced ads is just a scummy practice. Have one or the other. I don’t even know how much ad free costs because there were so many ads to even get far enough to see.

Fun game but way too many ads. Game stops every two minutes to run an ad. Don’t be greedy!

Also it’s way too short. Should’ve had more content /levels before it was released. Again greedy.

This game is very funny and extremely fun to play! 😍

After hours and hours of gameplay, i could not find any good words to describe this game.

It has 0 plot, game makes 0 sense, the developer is suuuuper greedy with the market prices, you just basically run around and gather resources just so you can watch more ads.

I like the game and I got all the way to the Indian village. It says that I need to craft ropes to unlock leather and I’ve literally used all of the resources. I can to craft ropes and still cannot craft the leather so I can’t progress any further in the game

Played up until the end of current content, closing the game every time an ad popped up. I’m not coming back to this because of pop up ads.

The only way you make any progress in this game is to watch a ton of ads. Good graphics, but be prepared.

You have to pay for to have the option of playing with no ads. Why should you have to pay for that ??

To many ads for a bit playing time not worth even playing

Ads every minute or two and charge $6 to stop them. Also it asked me to rate the game, but when I hit 2 star it jumped to 5. I tried twice and both times it automatically changed it to 5 stars. Then when I went to write a review about it in the game it froze. I had to come here to give a real review. Needs improvement for sure.

There are so many forced ads that it makes the game almost unplayable. I understand you want some revenue and I get that, but I play tons of games with far fewer ads than I had dumped on my before I even got going. Address this and maybe it would be worth it to come back to this game.

I spent money on this game only to be disappointed! Are you making the second part of the game? If so, when?

Game is calming and good story line with amazingly calm gameplay. THE ONLY THING ALL OF YOU can learn, is that you don’t gotta force it to ONLY be playable with internet. Why on earth you think is alright and that someone likes it?!?! You could’ve earn more by simple cosmetics or to buy materials with real money(?)
For real, it is a bother that only online play JUST to force the AD streaming is unbearable and unbelievable. Just now, as I am writing this; 3 ADS have been running.

Typical of these Idle type games. Get so far, then no more levels. It has great game play, but can be monotonous if you’re not paying for the game add-ons. Save yourself some money and play using all the ads and don’t buy upgrades. These developers like to get the money, but not turn it back into the game to develop new levels.

This game is not about escape. It’s all about collecting things. Over and over. The buy ins are too expensive for what you get compared to other games.

This game is relaxing but the automatic ads are frustrating and too often. When backing out of the game to avoid the ads, the game begins at the tool shop making advancement slow.

Do these people just get to lvl 3 and stop working on the game? That’s as far as you can get on this. Sit at the river waiting while you either download discord and watch more unwanted ads! Where is the rest of the game? When will this actually get updated and completed? I’d give more stars if it was actually playable, but lvl 3 is the limit. There are too many games like this coming out and it’s becoming ridiculous.
