Mistake

I see I just made a mistake and bought this. I had such a good time on Apple Arcade I thought I’d buy an older one to learn more about the lore. You dare ask for 7 dollars for heroes are you kidding me?
My Apple Arcade subscription is what 15-20 bucks and a have three of your games completely unlocked. It seems all the merchants have lost their minds with this cash grabbing like it’s disappearing. Surprise ending let go of your greed OR IT WILL CONSUME YOU AND ALL YOU HOLD DEAR! This is a truth you can not horde or hide from. He that can hear let him hear.

Unbalanced, Doesn’t respect your time

The game isn’t so bad as to only warrant one star, but it also doesn’t deserve the 4.9 rating it has in the app store, and needs to be offset.

The biggest issue is the terrible balancing. The game devs obviously wanted to make it harder than previous titles, but they use a variety of cheap and unfair tactics to accomplish that, and obviously wanted to incentivise people to pay for the myriad of pay-to-win feature built in, which is just disrespectful and dishonest. You could possibly win each location without paying, but the amount of time you’d have to spend grinding to make sure you have just the right hero levelled up enough to have the powers needed, as well as purchasing all the bonuses you need from the in-game store, is just not respectful of our time as players.

This is a phone app game. I’m not trying to spend my entire life playing it, or even hours at a time. Stop trying to be a console or PC game, unless you’re going to actually BE that.

Nerfed blackwater endless

The blackwater endless map has been nerfed. Why nerf something this old. The map used to be fun and still challenging enough and good way to earn store credits to keep me interested. Now the difficulty is ridiculous after just 10 waves.
