Another Potentially Good Game ruined by Paywalls
「 THE GAME 」
The game itself is surprisingly good, even addictive. The Controls are simple, the Graphics smooth and captivating, decent audio, and easy to understand game mechanics.
Everything in the game does what it needs to do as simply as possible, allowing players to head to the battlefield without having to worry too much about complex mechanics.
Mechs fulfill certain roles in the Arena, each having their own unique ability that fits the role they're placed in.
Said Mechs can equip weapons of varying types and power, allowing players to customize a Mech that fits their play style.
There are also Pilots and Implants that give insane stat boosts to the Mech and Weapons, potentially destroying the Arena's balance.
「 THE GOOD PART 」
Gameplay is simple. Use the Mech you customized yourself and head into a battlefield where you have to wipe out the enemy team (in most cases) to win. Easy.
The gameplay is pretty addicting since it's simple, where your skills could bring you far. Having a strategy and knowing how to deal with other Mechs while avoiding the weapons they're equipped with could easily win you games.
(yes, hiding is important in every shooting game)
「THE BAD PART 」
Paywalls. Lots of paywalls.
Access to Mechs, Weapons, and Pilots that the company are "still in the process of implementing full-scale" to valuable resources you desperately need to match-up to your enemies. Players paying to access content earlier is fine. So does paying for In-game resources for quicker advancements.
What's scummy however, is purposefully limiting the amount of IMPORTANT Resources that non-paying players can acquire.
To get A-coins (Important currency for upgrading the ranks of Mechs and Weapons as well as purchasing them), players can either:
- Play in Ranked Arena, competing against other players for the top positions that give the currency
- Hope that an event is released that gives decent amounts of A-coins (Since most don't, and those that do give little compared to what you nneed)
- Try their luck in the various loot boxes in the game.
Silver and Gold Loot boxes barely give enough of these, and acquiring them is limited.
Other Loot boxes (the ones that can be opened by special keys) are usually mixed with Mech skins, Coins, and what-not.
Earning Coins in the game is a hassle as well, since costs of upgrades increases while the amount you get from loot boxes are only good for Beginners.
You can easily tell that the Devs are begging you to buy their products since everytime you open the game you'll have to close around 3-5 Pop-up offers they're selling, sometimes even 1-2 appears after a couple of game.
Overall, the game has insane potential as an addicting game so long as the Creators start addressing the issues plaguing their game (which they probably won't lol). It's still playable though, at least in the First half of the Game
If you want to play past that, a useful tip is to plan your purchases properly. Having a Second account might do you wonders.
