Fun for a time
If I had written this a few months ago, it would have been five stars, writing it now, two. So, Im going to be generous with three.
This game started off amazing! I found an amazing alliance that worked together wonderfully! We rallied bases, raided others, defended our weak and helped them build. It was a base builder game that I actually enjoyed. I thought, "I might actually have fun with this!" And I did.
Then, as the game steadily progressed, I started falling behind my allies. They were in the tens of millions of power when I was fighting to make two million. I asked myself what I was doing wrong, I focused everything on resources so I could max out my base, and I did. Nobody attacked me, so I didnt worry about that. But the gap kept growing.
Now Im somewhere between 15-20 million power (which is a basic measure of how much of a punch a player can pack) and all around me players are in the 200 million to 1 billion power. I cant keep up. The one reason, paid packs.
I loved this game to death, I couldnt have asked for a better team, a better experience. But I am just a farm for the big guys now. They spend $100 a week at minimum on this game, and it makes me sad that they do, but Im not going to tell them how to play their game.
If you want to play this and not burn a paycheck every other week, then dont get too attached. You WILL get left behind.
All of my friends who insist on paying, they have a great time. Me, not so much. But Im not going to spend $100 a week on a free to play game. Sorry.
The top alliance in my state (State: Basically your local area in the game, containing the people you will deal with on a daily basis) Im sure (while I have no solid proof) probably has spent close if not over a million dollars on this game. Im sure the top player has. They have been unopposed for months by those that did not begin paying into the game at the start.
In short, a fun game, a great community, but it is pay-to-win. Dont be fooled otherwise. It may take a month or two for the gap to appear, but once it does, youre useless to your team if you dont join the crowd.
Excellent game. But dont get attached.
