DC: Dark Legion™

I think the game would get five stars if it didn’t have the resting hero’s feature, and progressing didn’t take so long. I happen to enjoy grinding games like these, but upgrading the war room takes WAY too long. It’s very frustrating when you need it to finish upgrading to do anything. Especially since it dictates your hero’s levels, which I understand why it does that, but it’s so very frustrating when you have maxed out every little mission, and can’t continue because your hero’s are too weak. I also don’t like how hard it is to get those little crystals for the gacha system, where you get heroes. It’d be perfect if you got rid of the items in the gacha, and just made the epic heroes and villains more common to get, so that it isn’t so irritating working hard to get just one single crystal, only to spend it and get a rare object. I think the objects should have their own place where you spin for them, and have a different currency. Speaking of currency, I do really enjoy how easy it is to get money, and how even everything is when it comes to earning money gems. Overall, it’s a really fun and addicting game, and one of my personal favorite dc mobile games, but it’s just too much waiting for progress. Also lastly, I really hate the ai that they use in the game for “art”. A big part of a game is its art style and care put into the game. You can’t pay an artist five dollars to draw a simple object, yet everything is overpriced, then I don’t truly believe you care for your game or the players experience.

This game is very fun with the base play but when that’s completed the events carry the game. Unfortunately the events want you to spend an ungodly amount of money to get the character promote. This Halloween event right now has a currency you unlock specific to this event and even if you earn enough to unlock the character your in for a shock. The game notifies you that you have spend hundreds and quite possibly over a thousand dollars to reach an insane level before it will allow you to use the in game currency (that you’ve already spent money on) to but the character even though you’ve earned the amount it says it costs. The player base is completely stunned and we’re all hoping this is a mistake but the alliance I’m in and several others on my server are all quitting if this isn’t addressed. I’ve already spent about $40 on this event and it’s gotten me to level 14 and I almost have enough currency to unlock Death Metal Wonder Woman. The game says we have to get to level 80 to purchase her and seeing how the levels cost more to complete the higher they get this is clearly one of the worst cash grabs I’ve seen from one of these games. They just dropped the cap to 65 but nobody cares. If you can earn the currency by level 20 then we should be able to spend it on her. Not get a message that “Oh yeah you can spend the currency you earned in this event on anything except the one thing people are playing it for unless you open your wallet and spend way more”.

This is probably the best DC Universe based IOS game released so far. It has some great mechanics and a wonderful player base. At least in my server. My primary concern is that I’ve been playing since the offical launch and I’m starting to grow bored. Basically, it’s the same thing every day. You’re just doing the same things with slightly more power and maybe a new character if you’re lucky. There is very little strategic thinking to keep you hooked. There needs to be more that requires actual challenge. Not just hitting the play button and crossing your fingers. The darkest timeline is a fairly fun game mode but I don’t feel that the new difficulties 6 and 7 are balanced. You do great all the way to the end, and then the boss wipes you out like it’s on God mode. We also need more server cross play. Some servers are dying out and losing players. We also need events where different servers actually meet and compete. Inside the server, things have become fairly predictable. Everyone has their alliance and nothing really changes. No new players to recruit. Nothing changes. That’s the core of my argument. Nothing significant changes. I want to keep playing but I need a reason. Give me a reason. Please. Without long term game outlook, you’re going to struggle to keep long term financial stability and keep the game alive.

I normally don’t play don’t play strategy games. It’s not that I don’t like them. But rather the whole alliance concept a massive time commitment for me and I often find myself getting grieved by high level players. But this game is different. I constantly find myself coming back to this game, I can join alliances run by the system allowing me to remain casual. As a lifelong DC fan, this game has been great! The character models are pretty solid for mobile games, it has a pretty starting character roster with plenty of legacy heroes with a few underrated heroes like The Atom and Raven. It also gives a ton of options for both ftp and pay to win players. My only concerns regarding this app is that there are a few bugs for instance the UI to the cave vanished at one point. It would also be nice if establishing presets was easier rather than it being limited to prebuilt teams. TLDR: Great strategy game for casual players, great characters with different abilities, I’m very happy to see this game topping charts not even a week after launch.

I played this game for about two and a half hours straight after launch, the game is pretty good. You complete missions, upgrade your base, unlock new heroes/villains to play with, build a team made of different types, there is a gear system to improve individual units. My biggest initial complaint is the match making, I feel like i’m already being paired up with people that are destroying me when I play any pvp. Hopefully that will be adjusted so i’m not knocking a star for that. The game of course has micro transactions, however, from what I am seeing so far, you can earn the majority of things just playing the game. I’m sure there’s a big pay to win boost but you can still have an enjoyable experience without paying. I feel like the base upgrading aspect is going to be something that draws me in because I like seeing it get nicer😭. If you are a DC fan, I believe this game will make a great addition to your mobile games. Update: i’m seeing people say there are “features hidden behind paywalls” that is not at all the case, the game gives a plethora of rewards and you could honestly probably play way longer than I have without spending a penny. I am making sure to not spend money just to give a honest review even though there are a couple of cheap packs that would give me a nice boost. I got my first mythical character free to play the second day the game released. It is a fun free to play and i’m sure pay to win experience overall.
