Battlesmiths: Medieval Life

This game scratches my brain in all the right ways. Story is GREAT! Timers are not to bad in this game as well, everything makes sense, most games have timers that take days at level 3. I’m at Town Hall 5 and buildings still only take about 3 hours, which is honestly awesome including the fact I don’t pay for any in-app purchases. AND THERE IS NO ADS. Crafting time is great and everything feels well balanced. Every item you get actually feels like a reward for putting your time into the game. I can’t wait to see where this goes, see you guys at town hall 11!

This review is only focused on the merging part for craft nothing else. Mainly because I don’t really have anything else to complain about beside the guilds with not being able to tell when the last time a player was on and not being able to trade higher their of the item the requested makes helping someone useless unless you are the same lvl as them. Back on track to the merging I got the 2 day premium as a trial which didn’t seem to do a whole lot but after it ended and I started to merge my items to try to get better gear and I’ve failed every blue tier merge 20 times in a row, not sure if it a bug or something else. but it has a 75% chance to work which is super annoying me at this rate it’s almost point less to merge anything because by the time it does work if fails the next one at a higher rate and by then I will have unlocked the new set of equipment. That’s all I have to say for now

The timers for crafting and buildings may not be for everyone, also taking back the town initially can take a while, as can unlocking the equipment merge system. I do love the arena and the rewards you get from it, you should be able to find a league that fits you, but will doubtlessly notice times like unlocking a 4th hero in your active formation that you will hit a wall until you also unlock it with barracks upgrades. a complaint I have would be not noticing ways to get some free gems over time, perhaps arena season rewards? You will get some in the mail from completing campaign or other progression. Or maybe the devs could add a small amount of gems from watching optional advertisements? Gems are mainly for cosmetics or upgrading rarity of gear instantly and not for anything necessary. You can also buy permanent crafting slots, the first costs 500 gems, the second 2,000 Tip: once you get the town hall feel free to move workers around to focus on whatever your current projects or needs are. Very neat how it combines crafting/selling and developing heroes and building your town. The stamina isn’t very limiting as you upgrade your farm, you will be able to do plenty of stages hourly, though the battle tower does get costly but still small compared to how much stamina you can hold at a time or collect overnight.
