Cost 300 diamonds for only ONE pull and that doesn't even guarentee you a great character. Even common and uncommon take only diamonds. The gameplay is decent but the gacha ruins it as it is painfully hard to obtain further diamonds without purchasing them. Would highly recommend just skipping over this one. TZimmerman Active Member Oct 20, 2013 35 0 6 #4 TZimmerman, Mar 7, 2017 I bought the starter pack and have a good team. You don't get that many gems playing but you get a good amount of tokens to do free pulls and that's makes up for the lack of gems. Anyone get up a Alliance let me know.....but it is a really great game. Serenityinaz12 Well-Known Member Mar 27, 2015 56 0 0 #5 Serenityinaz12, Mar 7, 2017 Game doesn't even give you enough in game for one gacha pull let alone 10. Good lord have never seen such a stingy game. Impossible F2P Havelcek Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Apr 30, 2013 588 62 28 #6 Havelcek, Mar 7, 2017 This game is really bad - I try most gachas that come on the market and this is the most abusive F2P scheme I've seen in a long time. The mechanics are derivative of everything else on the market. Save your money. sabre31 Well-Known Member May 22, 2012 58 0 0 #7 sabre31, Mar 7, 2017 Agreed with the comments here.

Thank you. Red Reddington Active Member May 26, 2015 31 1 8 #11 Red Reddington, Mar 8, 2017 Actually, "gacha" is short for "gashapon" or "gachapon," a type of vending machine that dispenses capsule toys. They're very popular in Japan, but you can find similar machines all over the world. The key concept is that it works as a "blind box" system, meaning you pay to get a toy/figure, but you have no idea which one you'll get--it's entirely up to chance. Often there will be common, rare and super rare toys, so the compulsion is to keep paying and playing to get the rare toys you want or to complete a set. Many, many mobile games have implemented this system to take advantage of that compulsion and keep players paying money and/or grinding forever.

Mr.Cow New Member Mar 10, 2017 1 0 0 #14 Mr.Cow, Mar 10, 2017 Updates Please I give this game a 5 star rating because it's fun... it's a lot of fun. The game is very addicting and has a great base to build on. It needs a lot of updates but I think it has potential. Improvements I recommend: Alliance Wars More Shop Options More Quests For The Alliance Better Rewards For The Alliance Easier To Obtain 3-4 Star Characters More Characters More Gems In Quest Completion (Everyone basically has to save their gems in order to get a 4 star champion. Gems aren't used on anything else, if you want to improve your game without spending money.) Flexibility With Titans (Maybe a special summoning that costs resources, that the alliance can grow over time. That way the alliance has more control over what Titan they get. Since it takes 24 hours to fight another one.) Competitive Events For Top Players Private Messaging Online Activity For Your Alliance Basically, the game needs to become more gamer friendly. I believe that this game has potential but it needs some improvements. I hope the staff takes note of my review and uses it to improve some aspects of the game. Laire Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2012 586 0 0 Overworked Graphic Designer :) https://www.facebook.com/Peridot.Weapon #15 Laire, Mar 10, 2017 Honestly, if you go into this one with a "free to play" mentality, ignore PvP and also pretend the premium Gacha doesn't exist, you'll find it's a surprisingly accessible single-player experience. There is "Player VS Player," but only the resources stored in your Watchtower can be looted. Your mines and farms are always 100% safe, and that's where the majority of your non-combat resources come from anyway. Leave the Watchtower at Level 1 and most players will ignore you, and the ones that don't won't slow your progress. It's actually fun to be leveling up 2-Star heroes and have them being actually USEFUL (they can hit Level 40 if you 'double evolve' them which doesn't require ridiculously rare resources like the higher stars) instead of them being treated as 100% leveling up fodder. The training camps give you a free 'Gacha' system that will eventually give you 3* (and allegedly higher at very late in the game) heroes where you can even select the element that will appear. While there is a mandatory PvP fight (vs the CPU, not a real player) at the end of each map section, that's scaled to the location, not your own power level, so if you can handle the other fights along the way you should be strong enough to win the end fight. The guilds/alliances can largely be ignored. They give no benefits other than a separate chat room and a 'group boss fight' once a day, which you get rewards as long as you attack the enemy once. And some guilds are always looking for 'floater' members, so you can join, fight the boss, get your rewards, and then leave. The real problem right now is a lack of content. You'll get to a certain stage in the world map, then it's just auto-battle each day on the strongest fights you can win while waiting for your city buildings to upgrade. Spending real money just means you'll get to a further "stopping point" before you have to hurry up and wait. So it has a good starting foundation, but after a few days you'll find it's mostly an experience of auto-battling for resources. Unless you're the kind of person who enjoys gathering a bazillion Food or Ore to level up your Stronghold from 10 to 11 in the hopes that you'll get more terrain to place more buildings, it probably won't be your cup of tea. Pwyller New Member Jun 8, 2018 1 1 1 Male #16 Pwyller, Jun 8, 2018 I find it completely amazing that what could be a fantastic game falls so short simply because the developers are just that dumb. It is a classic case of short-term profit mentality - I can invest very little effort and make around $40k a day, or I can listen to the user community, apply basic common sense, and have some internal integrity and build a great game that generates 3 or 4 times that revenue... It is sad that I have to recommend that people NOT install this game - give your money to a company that actually listens to the consumer. sebgo likes this. sebgo Well-Known Member Dec 26, 2010 830 397 63 Male 95% leisure.
