Decent game
A willingnessA willingness

Many useless rewards, progress is fleeting

This game is fun enough at first, even though it is constantly bombarding you with ads. It seems to be trying to get you to pay real money for in-game things that aren‘t that valuable and aren‘t a sure thing. So even if you wanted to pay real money for in-game stuff, all the deals are gyps. And it‘s constantly throwing new overpowered foes at you, why your ability to get good characters is severely limited.
