Confusing, Predatory, and Boring

I gave this game a fair chance, but it's honestly one of the worst mobile games I've played.
The gameplay loop gets repetitive very quickly, and the game does a poor job of explaining how you're supposed to win or lose. Instead of feeling strategic, it feels like you're constantly being pushed toward spending money.
The biggest issue is that the game hides microtransactions behind buttons that don't clearly look like purchases. It's far too easy to accidentally tap something that costs real money—I've seen purchases up to around $15. On top of that, you're practically forced to buy things like ammo crates or other resources just to keep playing at a reasonable pace.
The UI is cluttered, confusing, and unattractive. Nearly every screen is filled with what looks like AI-generated artwork, making the whole game feel cheap and low effort.
Overall, this feels like an obvious AI-generated cash grab rather than a well-designed game. I can't recommend it.

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear about your frustrations with the game's design and microtransactions. We appreciate your detailed feedback and will forward it to our team. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Ai Art :/

In a nutshell, the gameplay is good and has great replay value. There are micro-transactions, but they can be easily avoided. Ads will exist (its a mobile game, so its normal)
However, there is Ai art in the game. If you don’t mind Ai, then ignore this.

The gameplay, mechanics, and everything essentially make it a great experience to play :). I have installed this game almost every time i get a new phone. I stopped playing last year due to the update that increased ad usage to the point where the game was essentially micro-transaction hell. However, playing this game now is great, due to the ad’s being reduced significantly (yes, there are ads still, but I personally don’t feel they ruin the experience.)

However, the usage of Ai art makes me not want to play the game. I’m going to sound like an english teacher, but using Ai to substitute human art feels soulless. It’s just a small nitpick, but i enjoyed the charm of the hand-crafted pixel art the game had before the micro-transactions stopped me from playing last time. It made me enjoy the game :).

Love it

I love this game

Get more ammo with delta trooper

I have more than enough ammo for certain characters but why watch an ad for three ammo bullets? That takes FOREVER. How about we use coins, DNA (and monster DNA) to buy more ammo? As for ads? How about get 10-20 bullets per ad instead of three bullets per ad? I like the game, but the ammo

I love this game but…

I had this game back on my Android, spent a decent amount. Figure I’m supporting the developers.

Found out that I can’t restore my purchases. That’s fine, I liked the game that much I was willing to do it all over again.

I’ve run into so many bugs on the IOS version. My screen would glitch locking the game mid battle. I’d reload the game and my character wouldn’t be able to select my mercenary because they’d be considered defeated.

I gave the game 3/5 cause I genuinely like this game.
