Difficult without iap.

The free version you can buy upgrades and great. This paid variation you can’t purchase anything and there’s nothing in the shops that are payable without 2 hrs of grinding. It’s annoying i paid for the best version only to get annoyed acted chapter ones progression
Pvp is dominated by pay to play, yet in this version i can’t pay for anything.
