AfterPROS: Game play mechanics are simple and easy to grasp as well are the controls. Decently challenging offline type game play (missions). After you've cleared the first few "stages" to increase the difficulty, you will find yourself at a level disadvantage to the enemies which makes it a bit more challenging. No mandatory microtransactions (as previously stated). Got to level 45 so far with no purchases however now the grind to gain levels is extremely difficult but more rewarding. Fun online competitive gameplay. Strategic teams are well rewarded.
CONS: Gear/rings are pretty steep in price. Especially if your casually playing this game and not grinding constantly for gold. The offline "missions" are extremely repetitive. Same missions just increased enemy level and difficulty. Gets boring after about the third time clearing the same mission. The competitive multi-player could use some tweaks. A more harsh punishment for AFKers for instance and trolls who just stand in their home-base where they are free from attack. As well as rage quitters who leave your team 2 v 3 or even 1 v 3 (this kind of stuff happens a LOT). Games where your team quits on you, it seems there is nothing implemented to refresh your ranks as I've stayed in games of 1 v 3 and never gotten any team mates added to my team. There could easily be better ways to get gold or at least increase the amount of gold received at the end of a match or mission (from a design standpoint). Spending 4 hours grinding gold to buy a ring that costs 5,000 gold is a bit tedious. This could be seen as increasing playtime however most will get bored of this much grinding unless they've played games like the Diablo series or Phantasy Star series.
OVERALL: It's FREE. I mean nothing really beats free unless someone is paying you to get/play their game. I mean a majority of what's wrong with this game could easily be patched, and everything else is just players taking advantage of an ultimately punishment-less system that has been in place. My biggest gripe would definitely be the lack of offline mission variety. The same 4 (or 5 can't remember) mission get very boring and repetitive. I'd this game is worth at least checking out. Worse come to worse you spent a little time downloading this while making a sammich and spend a few seconds un-installing it.… Expand
