    "Built as a passion project by a small team at Epic Games," or so touts the micro-transaction-heavy gacha game recently released by the developers of what is currently the world's most popular game. Make no mistake: there's nothing small or passionate about this.

Make no mistake: there's nothing small or passionate about this.

    The core gameplay loop is as follows: First, you give Epic your money so you can gamble on heroes. Then you take your heroes into battle. There's some strategy, but just like in any gacha game, strategy is trumped by having gambled good heroes. So you more or less let the game play itself until it can't progress any further. Then you give Epic more money. Rinse, repeat.

    The art and visual style are okay-ish, as that's supposed to be the sell of these games. Gotta have waifus so the player has incentive to spend money for ownership of a 2D image they could just look up on google and set as their desktop background. The sound design's not bad either, but overall, it's all just uninspired. It's lazy filler content: characters and places and sounds that are all appealing enough, but that I have no reason to care about, except for maybe the reason that I spent money to get them.

    On that note, they sure did an equally poor job rounding out the corners of the aesthetic by just filling the writing and dialogue with fourth-wall breaking meme culture. It comes off as exactly the forced attempt to shove in some last minute personality that it actually is. It's about as appealing as sitting around at the dinner table on Thanksgiving and having your elderly parents show you memes they found on their phone.

    If you like losing money, play this game.    … Expand

    Shocked that this game has the Epic name attached to it. This one makes "The Elder Scrolls: Blades" look like an actual game. Shame... shame... shame...

    I am rating this game 0 out of 0 because of how bad it is.

    It is far away from a real strategy game of some sort, it is basically a pay-to-win with a lot of microtransactions around, where you have to spend money to have a good hero.

    First, even if it looks cool it is beyond simple and they compensate by creating an overly complicated upgrade/evo system. Second, when the game messes up you will lose all progress and Epic games will not help you. Last, if you made the mistake of buying the battle pass, then it gets deleted by the software, you will not get a refund.
