Hey just wanted to give a quick feedback on how I feel about the game.
First off, just want to mention that F2P is a great way to attract people to "try before they buy" who'd otherwise not be willing to "buy before trying", also even if they don't buy anything but generate referrals it's still a bonus for the devs.
Anyway, I'm one of the kinds of people that prefer to try before I buy, and that was my goal here. I've had fun grinding, and I really love the artwork and overall theme of the game, but I've reached tier 3 and frankly it was quite a disappointment to get there with 4 star stuff and be already in the yellow for danger (my 4 star stuff is levels 3 to 7). Not that that's so bad since I can survive OK, but having to try harder than a couple levels above but getting less heat is a big downer.
I'm a moderate fan of dungeon-crawlers like diablo, titan's quest or torchlight, but I have to admit I never bothered beating diablo 2 or torchlight. It seems to get to a point where I just feel like it's the same stuff just reskinned and randomized, and I'm at that point for this game as well. I feel this game is seriously lacking in depth and true replay value and as it is I wouldn't pay any real money for it.
I do have to say though that the non-turn based action is really great, the only thing that gets me about that is the lag and bad pairing with people overseas. The basic gameplay is nice and fun, cool it has strategy involved and something to lose, but in the end that's not enough for me.
If anyone has some advice for me or wants to say anything constructive I'd like that :)
this is not the game for you.
