It's so, so bad. I made it 2 minutes. I got stuck because i only had 5k left and I had to pay a mininum of 60k to proceed with the game. No skip option. So i had to eitheir restart the game or pay real money for it. I restarted choosing the cheapest choices and waiting for constant 10 second ads to stop. Then suddenly im told i have to wait 45 minutes to continue or watch more ads. No thanks. The artwork is nice but this is way too boring to be pushing such aggressive pay-to-play ads. Lame.

I have never seen a game ever that makes you wait 45 min to go to the next event or watch 5 full ads, that's like 5 minutes of ads, no one is gonna do that. Also the choices are not balanced and it forces you to pay to play. If you need to make it through the events of play without paying you need to almost always choose the cheapest option you get offered on the dialogue which doesn't make it fun at all.

So far I like the premise of the game and it definitely has potential to be a great game. I gave it 2 stars because you have to spend money in order to continue playing. I've experienced games like this before but there were still ways to progress in the game without spending real money. Another issue is the 45 minute wait time or watching 5 ads. So now I have to spend real money and watch ads (that generates money for the company, including pop up ads) just to progress in the game, so im stuck.

Looked interesting and fun at first, but then it really disappointed me. After a few minutes of playing, a screen came up offering a premium version. There was no way to get rid of it without paying, watching FIVE ads, or waiting over HALF AN HOUR! I even tried closing and reopening the app, but it still popped up! So, I solved the problem by deleting the app. Would not recommend, and will never be playing it again.

Initially, I was excited to try House of Power, but my experience quickly turned frustrating. Progress in the game is severely restricted unless you buy funds, which are overpriced. If you restart, you lose everything. The sheer volume of ads is overwhelming—you need to watch five just to proceed to the next segment. If you want to skip them, you're forced to pay, yet even then, random ads continue to pop up. There should be a fair way to earn funds in-game without having to spend real money!

I like the concept of the game but y'all need to work on it because right now it's a pay to win game, I've cycled through every option and you always end up losing the election or you get broke unless you're ready to pay real money to get extra in-game money, you need to add daily sign in rewards give better budget friendly options not everyone is willing to pay for games

Horrible, un-installed after trying to go through 3 times and ads is all i remember. ran out of money twice and watch a ridiculous amount of ads and waited for new levels to load too much. I get it you need to make money but try sucking me in before you ask me to take out my wallet. Ads and paywalls popped up within minutes of playing. horrible game design. Had such high hopes!!!

What is here is good, but you will never get to the end of the game without spending money. It is literally impossible! Paying for premium won't even fix that, as that will only remove ads and wait times. You will still need to spend at least an additional $5, probably more, in micro transactions on top of that. This is because the money you get for your campaign while playing will never equal the amount you have to spend to make it to the end, necessitating a visit to the shop.

liked the idea hated the execution and experience in it. there is only ONE path to follow or you restart and the constant and annoying ads after 3 minutes of game is overwhelming. and before you give the canned answer about ads Yes WE get it you need to generate money but lord in earth let's us play a bit before reaching for our wallets.

Game seems virtually impossible unless you pay for the best options. Also egregious with their use of in-game ads as you don't just have frequent ads, but you have to watch 5 ads in a row or pay to go ad free. I liked the concept, but seems like the game was made just to make people spend money.

money grab, with no real way to play without paying, even put some money into it to find that it's going to require more than it's worth soon after the first drop. there is no way their story will provide any real worth for the money you put into it. maybe there is a way to make terrible choices in order to pay the attorney when your opponent sets you up for an assassination attempt on his own life. if I want political disappointment, I'll turn on the news. thanks for taking my money. worst $5

I paid the $4.99 to drop ads for a week, but you HAVE to purchase in game money to continue playing. The prices of purchasing in game currency are so high that this one choice I'm on right now will cost $10-$20 to procede. then I would have to spend even more to continue as my character would still have a $0 balance. The $99.99 package is the only one worth anything in game. So 20 minutes into the game I need to be a whale? I'm out.

Decent overall game play and storylines. Not even a pay to win game, but a pay to play game. Even with going the absolute cheapest option, you will still run out of money and will need to purchase in-game money to continue playing. Not too concerned about the Ads, as I have nothing but time. But being forced to have to pay to play, that doesn't work. Would definitely keep playing the game, if this wasn't the case. Uninstalled. reinstall and still the same. A pay-to-play game. Uninstalled again

I was really enjoying this game, but the scenarios are short. You can either watch a lot of ads for the next scenario, wait an hour, or pay to have the ads removed. I paid the $4.99 plus tax to remove the ads. Bad thing about that is it is only for a week. It isn't a pay once and be done type transaction. The in-game money is ridiculous, too. I select different things to try to conserve money, but get to where I run out and cannot progress in the game...unless I want to drop at least $10🤦

I tried... I played even after reading the reviews and I wanted to like it but definitely not. I paid the $4.99 weekly fee but if you make a mistake in the game, you have to pay even more or start from the beginning (BORING!!!) at $4.99 a week, I'll stick with Netflix. it's cheaper and infinitely more interesting. don't waste your time

not playable. i downloaded at 1:09 pm went through a brief setup and began playing. 1:17 pm. I'd seen 3 ads and am now at a countdown screen where i have to watch 5 ads or wait 45 minutes to continue playing. this defeats the purpose of games. you want people to PLAY your game. not to stop. no wonder you have such a low rating. you don't know what you're doing. wonderful concept. terrible execution.

The concept is amazing, but the game bombards you with ads then forces you to watch 5 long ads or take an hour break from the game which is absolutely impossible to beat unless you pay copious amounts of real money. There should be a back button so if you make a mistake you can change your decision. The funding system needs to be reworked so you can complete the game without constantly having to restart which is so frustrating because of the amount of ads
