Really cool game

This game has so many cool things and all the different fears you can collect are so cool ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good game but needs some tweaks

This games NEEDS balance changes and not 600 100$ offers in my face EVERYTIME i play the game it’s a good game good concept good characters and it might even be a skill issue on my part but even with good phobies you can just get brute forced by numbers or damage i feel like numbers beat strength and strategy

I love-hate this game.

With an awesome premise, creative designs, and great community interaction, this game has the makings of something truly special. Where my love fades for the game, however, is the live connection feature. Far too many times, I’ve found myself in a match that just begins to get interesting, only to be met with the “You’re disconnected” screen, followed by an unavoidable loss. It’s gotten to the point that I barely even touch the Arena mode (which I prefer) because I am never able to even complete a game. I don’t know if you all have been working to solve the connectivity issues, but I’ve been playing for years and it seems much the same.

Pay to win

I want to like this game, but it’s totally rigged for paying players. The levelling is based on upgrading your cards. Upgrading costs in game currency and upgrade points mainly acquired through card packs. It’s all set up so that you need to spend money to advance or face brutally slow progression. It’s a sad reality of mobile gaming. A great concept trashed by developer greed. There’s no point playing to a high level, as you’re have by opponents who have paid to upgrade their cards and acquire new units, meaning the playing field is so unbalanced, victory is basically impossible.
