You are the filthiest and most disgusting people. Damn you and your game.

So bad

25% skills 75% luck

This game would be so much better if it was actually balanced and not PAY 2 WIN!!!!! I spent a good amount on money this game so I know in order to thrive in anything outside the campaign you’ll need to be a money cow.

PvP is utterly trash. The amount of games where I am forced to repeatedly attack where I don’t want to because it’s the ONLY combo I can have happens to frequently. This causes there troops to get mana extremely fast whereas my troops literally are under 50%. I’ve had teams use their specials 2 to 3 times before I can get mine. I had to delete this trash as there were plenty of chances to make balance changes to the gem board but all they care about is taking our money. New deals weekly yet can’t fix the main game to have a more balanced experience? Utterly trash and lazy. Only people that truly like this game are ones that spent tons of money or ones who literally only play campaign. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone till they make some changes.

Overview

Not a bad game but upgrading and fighting other members should be more balanced.

Used to be great

I have been playing this game for over 6 years. It used to be a fun game to play. You didn’t have to be rich and the game was fairly fair and balanced.
What I have noticed over the years is the game has become very money focused. They have rigged the timings so they are very tight. The have rigged the shields on the board against you. If you need green shields, you will likely not get any. The game is no longer fair and balanced. Recent examples: I fought a team which was roughly a thousand points lower in strength than me and that team kicked my butt in a matter of seconds. Another team was 2 thousand lower than me and did the same.
Players who pay to play are getting the much stronger heroes which are waaay unbalanced with older heroes. They keep,saying they are doing balancing, but the balancing seems to be very much in the favour of the brand new heroes which are much stronger and harder to get. I have over six years invested in this game and lately I just want to throw my iPad against the wall. It’s longer fun to play. Spoken to lots of other players who feel the same. It’s not just me. It’s now your typical in your face buy this, buy that, spend on this and you will get that game. No longer can recommend.
