If this is what Farmville is like, then count me out. Not because We Rule is a bad game, but because it’s damn addicting. I can see why people spend so much time on Facebook now.
We Rule is essentially a game where you make money to increase the grandeur of your kingdom. In order to make money, you start off by growing crop and within a select time limit, you can harvest your crops and start building and adding to the kingdom.
It’s a fairly simple game, which only adds to its addictive nature. You plant, harvest, create new buildings in hopes of expanding your kingdom. Along the way you gain experience points to level up and unlock new things to create. You can add friends to expand the world map where you can then go to their kingdom and see their own creation. You can also shop in their stores and vice versa but you only gain more money and experience rather than actually receiving an item that actually does anything.
My kingdom has a long way to go.
And that’s where my tiny little rant comes in. Simply put, this game really has no purpose other than to waste time. You make money, you improve your kingdom, rinse and repeat. It’s doesn’t challenge you in any shape or form. This isn’t Harvest Moon where you have to get creative to make money. This isn’t SimCity where you have to appeal to your peasant’s wishes. There’s very little challenge and I keep wondering why I go back to it day after day. Sure, I can stop whenever, but the time spent not playing is money wasted that I could’ve been making.
Plus, it’s free. I should’ve mentioned that earlier as my outrage is no one’s fault but my own. While I would’ve liked more from the game, it’s a nice way to spend five minutes of your time.
