West Game II

I’m enjoying it thus far. Gameplay is pretty fun and I haven’t had much issues with that so I gave it 5 stars. I will say - it would be nice to see a more diverse cast of characters though. Right now my avatar is a white Middle Ages man with a beard or goatee & the next closest one to me I think is an indigenous woman, of which I am neither. I’d like to see some heroes and avatars that people can pick and say yes this a good representation of me & not have to wait to unlock a feature that allows us to use our own picture. Just a thought. Otherwise, it’s a good game.

This game provides a remarkably refreshing experience, particularly due to its generous reward system. Unlike many titles that are stingy with player progress, this game ensures that the process of upgrading and leveling up feels inherently worthwhile. The core progression loop is highly satisfying, rewarding players consistently for achieving milestones. However, a key area for improvement lies in the acquisition of cosmetic items, such as skins, name frames, and march queues. Currently, these items appear to be exclusively winnable through the Arena system, which makes their acquisition overly restrictive. Players are limited to just five daily tickets for entry, and the optional use of gold to purchase additional attempts is highly punitive, as the cost doubles with each subsequent purchase. This singular pathway creates a frustrating bottleneck for those seeking customization. I recommend diversifying the methods of obtaining these items. Introducing difficult, long-term in-game challenges would allow dedicated players to earn permanent cosmetics. Alternatively, placing these items in the shop as permanent bundles would be a welcome change, ensuring that if players choose to spend money, the items do not expire after a limited time. Implementing these changes would dramatically improve the long-term player experience and engagement.

Like similar games this is requires building, researching and gathering resources. Initially the builds are quick and there are a few other activities like bounties and fighting that keep you engaged. Unfortunately the activity times quickly turn from minutes to hours and ultimately to days and actually that wouldn’t be so bad but there’s literally nothing else to do. Events are infrequent and boring. Worse is that there are zero pvp battles. Everyone has their tied up gathering resources for hours upon hours so there’s no time for battles. Ultimately it’s a game with a lot of potential but progression times are too long and overall it gets boring after just a couple of weeks.
