Here we are, three years since my last review & nothing has changed. In the middle of a hole, a screen pops up saying I lost connection & send me back to the home page. It did it three holes in a row. My internet is working fine. It's obvious their servers are outdated or there's nobody updating the game anymore. I just checked & this game hasn't updated since October of 2023.
Algorithms are rigged so you lose coins, which of course they want you to spend real money to buy.... which I'm not going to do. I'll go to a casino if I want to lose real money. When they pair you up against players with 2 or 3 times the number of trophies.... thus losing all my coins and forced to play lower stages..... stage 2 and 3 can repeatedly time out on the search for another player. I initiated a search for a player on stage 3 more than 12 times before it found me one last night.
the game is really fun. and it's forced ads free. however, there are trolls who play this game. They will just continuously hit you with their ball so it knocks you down in points and throws you off your game if you land somewhere bad. i had a player keep doing this to me through the whole course. The sad thing is they were getting points while doing it. and i was just getting punished hard. of course, they ended up winning the game because of this ridiculous behavior.
I've been playing for years yes, the game is great. BUT, while in tournament the system tends to challenge you to people with 300-400 MORE CUPS than yourself. Meaning obviously, they have better equipment and items for obvious wins. I've lost many games due to this meaning mini golf wants you to purchase the items or obviously lose. I've spent way too much on this game already.
Played a level 4 course and got a bogey resulting in a silver chest. Next game I got an eagle and received a BRONZE chest!! Why??! I decided not to upgrade one single thing until I hit tier 7, which is going to be quite the chore! really got to save your money in this game because stuff costs way more for the most basic things than other golf games. I've looked at other mini golf games this one is the most fun though I've no idea what I'm in for once I get past the beginner tiers.
The game itself is enjoyable and playable without purchasing any extras, although, obviously, it takes longer to grow and harder to compete. But that's ok. I do have a serious issue with the connectivity. whether it's on wifi or unlimited Data, whether in my home or outside, I have never had a game with so many connectivity issues and slow downs. To make it worse, you lose games and money earned when it happens in the middle of matches. Also, it seems like the game is stacked against you if you do not make purchases. I have earned free bars by trying certain apps, but i refuse to load random games and have to make purchases. It seems as if you cannot proceed past certain levels and losses come in groups just when you start getting ahead. I'm tired of earning a million points to upgrade my 12 different gloves, yet still cant get the right club for the stage or earn the right amount for an upgrade for the appropriate club. Sorry, maybe i'm just fed up and tired of all the games being created now that have "in app purchases" and it seems so many take advantage of that for extra perks. I'd like a game that doesn't force you to purchase to play at a decent level.
This was a fun little game to play until the developer decided to get even more greedy than before. You can play for free and keep it limited, but enjoy yourself. The recent update has further restrictions in place. After upgrading equipment, now you are only allowed to use equipment during certain stages and all of your other equipment is restricted. This move is to force you to purchase items or coins to upgrade the lesser equipment or to purchase coins to play and bet at higher stages.
So the game starts out with unlimited time skips. I get all the way to level 7 and they stop. You only get four chest spaces so you need to be able to keep skipping or you're just stuck waiting and can't actually play the game for any long period Of time that's how they get you to buy gold to make the chests go away so you can win more chests. Play the game every day but now I'm going to move on because I don't want an app that makes me wait.
Fun game and functions well. The ads are a bit much sometimes but not bad. However, they have offers within the game that they do not honor very well. There is an offer on the main screen separate from their gold bar offer wall that if you download Golf King and unlock stage 3, you get a gold chest in Mini Golf. I did that task and did not receive gold chest. I contacted them, but they didn't understand and told me to talk to a different company that doesn't even manage that offer. Stupid.
It's a "if I could give it 0 stars I would" moment. The game wants you to spend real $ on gold, which is fine a company needs to make $. However, the game has offers to complete so a player can earn gold. I did a few quick offers to get minor sums of gold with no trouble. I completed 1 offer that took over a week to earn a hefty 1200 bars that I guess they decided they werent going to pay out. Been getting the run around from "Support" for about 2 months now. DONT SPEND REAL $ you'll be screwed.
Clearly you play against bots, you'll start off winning then eventually you'll play against higher trophy "players" who happen to have the store bought equipment and go on a losing streak so you get enticed to buy their deals. Had invisible walls block my shots and the ball is inconsistent even though it was the same wind speed from the last game, the company clearly wants you to lose so you can fork over money, you have been warned.
It was fun before the recent update. Now I am crashing all the time. I've lost 100s of thousands of coins and have lost free play tickets for events because the game crashes before I can connect. Then the support team acts like there is nothing wrong because there was "no reported issues at the time of the incident" what do you think I'm doing by messaging you... Reporting an issue.
Yet another clash game where beginners are forced to go up against players who have far superior equipment and, quite possibly, cheat mods enabled. Thanks to walls that aren't there and shots that are impossible to make, you cannot win. Period. Honestly, players who have millions of coins and the best equipment available shouldn't be allowed to play on Stage 1 or 2; it is simply not fair, and therefore not fun.
Fun game but flawed on input vs out of rewards. The most you will get out of a chest, the 24 hour one, is maybe 1500 coins. Level 5 is 20,000 coins to play. plus if you want to upgrade any of your equipment passed one upgrade it's 3800 coins. Two bad games at Level 4 or higher has you back in the low levels with small rewards. Win level 3 and get 3800 coins, yeah? The other issue would be when the wind forces you to take certain paths in order to make it to the hole. If you are second, no gems
Good fun. Sometimes it's hard to stop playing. But you can spend a lot for upgraded balls. And more coins to play longer after losing games and to enter tournaments, ect. I had to cut way back playing so I would stop wasting money for things you should be able to get without purchases. Still fun when I do play and I don't lose a lot. I used to win. Had near 1,000,000 coins, then I couldn't win anymore and lose most everything. I can't get up to 10,000 coins anymore.
Great game! graphics could use a little work to make obstacles more apparent. controls could be improved to allow people to shoot there ball without having to zoom out. Overall the content is great, the rewards are excellent, and the menus are easy to use, but the graphics and controls could use a little work. Would give 5 stars, but currently mad at the game for putting me against the same player 3 times in a row, a mid 700 ranked player against a over 900 ranked player isn't even. And then the following game, on my turn the winds blew against me and forwards for the other guy.
Good graphics and physics, and its possible to play without spending lots of cash, as long as you play lower tier games, or unless you become skilled enough that you can reliably win most games against other players. Otherwise, if you want to play mid to higher tier games, then you could go through your in-game currency very quickly if you lose more often than you win, and then you would need to start paying significant money to buy more in-game currency.
Nice game BUT when your WiFi is the slightest bit bad, you automatically forfeit the match. My house doesn't have exceptional WiFi, but I know it's better than this game says it is. I never lag out this much in any other games. I went from a successful person with 20.8 thousand currency down to 25 currency because I can't fully play any games! Also I don't like the gambling aspect of it. I just want to play the game!
Game is very addicting in the beginning , but as you advance the field of play is not equal.. The game gives you treasure chest as prizes after every victory, but sometimes you have to wait 2, 4 , 8, 12 , even 24 hrs to open which can be annoying.. Only way to truly advance deep in the game, you unfortunately have to buy items, which is frustrating.. Do not recommend game .
Too cash-hungry. Initial play can be sustained without laying out any cash, but equipment upgrades become excessively expensive, and buy-ins for a single game get utterly ridiculous. You can watch a bunch of ads to open chests up faster, or pay in gold to open them up immediately, but you only win gold bars one at a time. Otherwise, the only way to keep progressing at a semi-reasonable pace requires cash, cash, and more cash. Otherwise this could actually be a good game.
