Legend of Solgard

I've played this game since day one. Played for 3 years and progressed quite nicely without EVER spending a dime. You have the campaign but many more options to battle that requires no energy at all. There is Treasure Caves, Hero Arena, Hero Challenge, Bounty's. Join a guild and you have Dungeons to play daily and Guild clash over the weekend. I did start to purchase the Season Quest line pass for more quests and 1000x better rewards, 9.99 for 2 months. I open 10x grand chest every season. As your Embla level increases, so do your spells and rewards you get. So as you grow, your team has the ability to level up quicker. It took me 3 years to max out my commons and rares. 3.5 years to max out all epics. I am nowhere near maxing out all of my legendary or mythical creatures and still have not unlocked all mythicals at Embla level 49. Max is 50. I just made it into a top 20 guild 6 months ago and it's been a ride I don't want to get off. It's not about HAVING maxed out characters, most of my guild members have mythicals maxed out, they get taken out in one sweep all the time in guild clash by characters way lower than there's. it's about using specific characters to combat the characters on the board. My advice to new players, take your time when you start out. Learn what each character does and their ability. (This is the hardest thing to remember so learn from day one. many times NOT using your best characters will result in a win, it's how you place the characters that count. Download now!

I love this game, I really do. The gameplay mechanics are fun, there’s a great creature variety that can be built up over time, lots of fun play modes, and a very engaged player community. This could be really big over multiple years if Snowprint/King manage it well. Why one star? They’re not managing it well, they’re doing the exact opposite. There has been a long-standing “test” that gives dramatically better gold rewards to some players and much worse rewards to others. This is creating a toxic haves and have-nots culture in the game. Great players who love the game but drew the wrong straw are quitting. It is straight up poor management of a player base and not okay. End the experiment and put everyone on a level playing field before you completely destroy the player base you’ve built! * Updated Jan 28: all the feedback seems to have worked and with the latest update they’ve put players all back onto the same equal footing, so upping the rating to 5 stars again

I’m really enjoying Legend of Solgard. The matches are varied from very easy to maddeningly difficult, and the challenge level doesn’t always seem to be tied to the journey level. I’ve seen some complaints from people that you gather game stuff and xp too slowly, or that you have to pay to win. I can comfortably play in the morning and evening without running out of energy and I’m not buying from the store. (Sorry, King) However, I did pony up for a $4.99 special because I’ve honestly had a lot of enjoyment so far and look forward to more. I’m always surprised by people who are shocked at the concept of paying something for an app—do they really think companies make them because they don’t plan to earn any money? Having a guild group that works together to whittle down a boss is nice, although it looks like we have no chance against the coiners in the leaderboards. I totally love the fact that the store will hang on to two treasure chests for you since I need to be at work during the day or getting some sleep, so 8 hours away is no big deal. (Thanks, King!) The characters are very cute and I love most of the animations except for that thing Grimchop does—you’ll know when you see it! I’m no expert in match 3 games and I’m sure there’s always room for improvement, but I’m having fun, I’m never quite sure if I’m going to be pumping my fist or groaning in despair after a hard-fought battle, and I love the graphics. Try it out!
