P2W/P2P
That being said, I have no only been playing for about a month. If you are just starting to play..EXPECT TO GET DEMOLISHED not too far into game… unless you spend. Every metric of the game has a different requirement, most of which you can’t really farm as free player/ semi free.
On the plus side they have put in measures so that free players don’t feel totally abandoned like daily keys for roulettes and the chests eve free ones are worth getting. I have gotten limited robots, weapons and even titans from it. One draw back to that going back to P2P is a few instances where I found a good setup that works and they start to sell a higher version of what I’m running(full MKII setups). Also the game pushes lots of buy pop ups, So instead of adds constantly in your face it’s buy offers…( not too bad trade off)
I have this game 4 stars bc I truly enjoy the game even when getting paired against full MKIII sport condor full lineup full squads and it only takes 1 to wipe our whole team. While I seem to be doing the best with MKII being my strongest. I expect to get rolled when I see Ultimate on opposite team.. it’s part of playing P2W game. But if you are like me and expect the game to be what it is.. you will also find that it’s a very fun P2W/P2p game.
