Relaxing and fun!
Sat Jul 08 2023 Jennifer SandersI love puzzle games and this one is great. As of today, I’m on Level 874. I don’t play to win, I play to play-I’m in no hurry to move forward and this game allows me to do this. Sometimes it takes me a couple weeks to pass a level, but I don’t play 24/7. I play around my work schedule and at night when I want to relax before I fall asleep. It’s perfect…very positive and challenging enough to keep me interested. Sometimes I purchase packages, especially if I really want to beat a more difficult level and I’ve run low on boosters or if I know I have time to play for awhile, I can purchase an Infinity booster which does allow me to advance a few levels. I’ll even go back to lower levels and get better scores and earn more rewards. I’ve been playing for several months and overall, I’m very happy with this game! I also really appreciate the high quality of the graphics. The characters are very cute 💕
Fading King Game… tired of the greed
Sun Oct 03 2021 WelcomeHomeSWAs I learned how to play Farm Heroes better, I liked it more and more... it’s always been my favorite but it bothers me though how rigged it is. It seems there’s no oversight of the randomness and it’s definitely designed to make you pay for more gold bars at certain points inside the game. It’s not random. Clearly there’s no governmental oversight, I’m certain of it, and that’s discouraging. It just doesn’t seem right that casinos are regulated (their games have to have a random element to them they can’t be designed to win at certain times and lose at other times) but for these Internet games... it’s a free-for-all! Or PAY-for-all rather. Farm Heros Saga was one of my favorite King Games, and now that they made it a little bit easier to play with the “boosters” and I don’t have to buy gold bars quite as often as I used to… this time I was able to get to higher levels and enjoy the game more but the piggy bank fills up so quickly and they just keep wanting you to give them more money give them more money give them more money. I recently switched to Apple Arcade Games. I’d rather pay just one monthly fee and not spend so much on these stupid games. They are designed to be addictive and take your money, and I’ve had enough.
Farm Heroes
Fri Jul 28 2023 mmaus1962I love the visuals in this game. Plus, the sound the sheep make is adorable.
Three complaints:1) they’ve changed it so that when you have extra lives left over you no longer get to play out the level using those lives. Instead, they add nine points to a cropsie for each life left remaining. This means that you can’t rack up points trying to reach three stars. So on the levels where you are playing for companions it’s almost impossible to get enough points to reach three stars, even using boosters. 2) Unlike other King games, their booster packages are expensive and have lousy options for the amount of money. What you get for one of the more expensive options is just one of each type of booster. Only the most expensive one offers more than one of each kind. 3) I’m in currently in the low 1,000s levels. The number of hard and super hard levels at this early stage of the game, especially back to back hard levels, is ridiculous.
It may not sound like it, but I actually really enjoy the game. But with only five lives at a time (unless I pay a bunch of money to buy more levels) I can only play for 5-10 minutes at a time. Not fun.
INHERENT TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH THE GAME
Sun Feb 28 2021 Crown CollectorLove the game, but like any garden, you have bugs and kinks to work out! Two times already I came close to getting a hundred gold crowns in a row. But the screen went pink and the only way to clear it was to quit out of it. Finally, on my third attempt, I was able to get over two hundred and thirty something and then I used a tractor booster but before the cropseys even fell down, the board reshuffled and then made it impossible for me to match the last set of alligators even though I had plenty of moves and boosters left; but it would not drop any more alligators. So now, I feel robbed yet again, of my goal in getting a perfect game of at least 300 gold crowns without losing a single life! I feel that you should give me those gold crowns and fix the system to stop it from reshuffling until all the cropsies have fallen down or give the option of using a booster. Even though the booster would not have been able to give me the chance to get my alligators! But if you look you’ll see that I passed it with ease and had plenty of moves left. I’m seriously considering deleting this game from my devices. What started as a source of entertainment; has become a source of frustration.
Doesn’t work as it says
Sun Jul 17 2022 Msmom88Supposedly you get points for every match. If the fruit or vegetable has numbers than it counts as 1 plus the number on it. (Ex: you match 3 apples and the first has a 2, the second has a 4 and the third has a 6 it SHOULD give you 15 points) Sadly, it doesn’t give the full amount ESPECIALLY when you’re trying to beat Rancid the Raccoon! No matter how many you match regardless of numbers for each it counts as 1! So frustrating never knowing how many points you’ll actually get. You’re on your last move and need 5 points to win. You match 4 fruits each with a number of 1 or higher and you get 3 of the 5 points you needed. 🤬 There’s no way to win gold bars! The daily bonus has me collecting the bonus daily, but only playing a few times a month so I can accumulate enough boosters to pass a few levels.
The worst thing about this game is in the beginning they give you 100 gold bars HOWEVER it’s set up so that when you “lose” a level the button to use the gold bars is where you would naturally touch to move on to try again, so you end up using the bars when you don’t intend to use them. This is NOT unintentional.
Outrageous
Sat Jan 30 2021 schmoopieswifeSo I love this game. It’s amazing and fun to play. However , I’ve have had a few times where I paid $20 in one round ... and still lost the round ! Lol. When I wrote customer service about it their response was that I should “go for a walk “”play a different game” and some other patronizing stuff and then explain how the games are proven to be beatable. I wasn’t questioning if I could beat the level , I was wanting to know why if I spent $20 in small increments (in one round !! ) and still didn’t pass the round.I mean, what is the point of paying for more moves or extra tools when it doesn’t do anything for you? I’m disappointed in customer service and the game. It is a great game to play , and I usually spend a decent amount of money on it too. I wasn’t angry, or freaking out so I don’t know why their advice to me was to meditate , calm down and play another game etc. Unfortunately I decided to delete the app. I feel like that taking money for a game that can be played for free , and not having some sort of algorithm to ensure ,after multiple purchases in one round , you will pass the level . I know they can do it. Anyways that’s my two cents. It’s a shame that such a popular game doesn’t have better ethics
WORST TECHNICAL SUPPORT/CUSTOMER SERVICE
Thu Feb 20 2020 GarrettEsqThe game itself is fun but the technical support/ customer service is terrible - actually I should say it is non existent. There is no way to contact the company except to fill out a form in the game which does not give enough space to lay out your issue. Once you fill that out the only response you get is an automated email that told me to go to the community page and let other users help me .... my issue was not one that other users could fix. My game kept freezing I followed the instructions from the automated email I received and it still kept freezing- the last step was to uninstall the app and reinstall- I made sure my progress was saved first and then deleted the app and reinstalled- not only did that still not fix the freezing issue but when it reinstalled it did not reload all my boosters that I had earned and saved up - over 50 of each booster just gone- and I cannot get anyone to help restore them to my account because this company is useless. I tried filling out a ticket, I tried posting on Facebook I even tried sending a message on instagram and have gotten nothing but the stupid automated response tell me to log into the community page and talk to other users for help. I NEED SOMEONE TO RESTORE THE BOOSTERS
So much wrong and becoming worse!
Mon Feb 07 2022 DimcguyFirst, telling CHILDREN: Play on, or you will lose is psychologically disturbing. Absolutely shameful. Second, Beans are useless-can't trade for prizes. Third, up to 8 or more pop ups just to play a game! Forth, you win prizes after a game and if you lose next game you lose all of stream prizes you earned!!! You can always tell how much these developers care by their lack of responses to these reviews. I like the game, but will NEVER EVER buy prizes because you NEVER EVER act on these reviews. Please keep in mind that the game is fun at the beginning, but you will be frustrated at the higher levels once you see how the game is rigged, how more and more time from popups and buy this sales eat away at your lives and daily prize times. Not to mention how much data they collect, share and sell to other company advertisers that you have no control over. Time to delete this app. It was fun up to level 1500, but at 1700 it is unbearable and now locked out because I don't think it's necessary for you to collect my personal information and make money off it, in exchange for playing your game! NEWBIES BEWARE. The game is meant to be addicting. At the beginning it's great. Don't spend money to win!
Good game, but could be better
Sun Feb 16 2020 cms2001All in all I really like this game. It is challenging without being ultra frustrating like some other games. My one complaint would be the beans. You earn beans a lot, but they are pointless. I have yet to find anything to use them on. I read that you can purchase shovels with them, but nope only gold bricks can buy anything. I thought I found where you could use them to buy gold bricks, which would be awesome. But nope, you can use gold bricks to purchase beans, which I inadvertently did...that was frustrating. Why would that even be an option if you can’t use the beans for anything. I feel like that is false advertising at the least. Anyway, although I still don’t understand the point of the beans, I still enjoy this game more than candy crush..which I have deleted.
I would also agree with the complaint about the many pop-ups to get where you need to go, but I’m used to it now and don’t find it super frustrating, just time consuming.

Sat Sep 02 2023 Angie PlumleyI love playing the game, however the ads are NOT AGE APPROPRIATE! I’m a 65 yr old grandmother, who plays with my grands & when the rating is 4+, I don’t expect to see repeated fb yoga; men cheating on their wives, then her going to work in a bar & cheating on him! I know children know a lot more than most of us did at 4, but it shouldn’t be crammed down our faces repeatedly during the same game with the same inappropriate ads, we don’t have a choice to watch? If your staff doesn’t know what is age appropriate for a 4 year old, maybe some staff meetings with a clergy should be held. (Not a psychologist who explains people “feelings” as right & wrong.) if someone says this statement addenda them, we’ll all the ads I’ve seen in the last week have really offended me! I like the game, in moderation, but please stop filling all of our littles & older people with inappropriate content. (I can only speak for these ages, but I’m sure if asked, more “Christian oriented families” would speak up!) Thank you for allowing us to review the games with includes whatever advertising is inc.
