Great game, I like the way you have a lot to do and many upgrades. Most games like this get dry after a week but not this one. The biggest draw back is time is limited when I want to play longer I can’t. It takes 10 minutes for one energy point so to refill 30 energy takes 5 hours. Yeah you can watch a 3 videos to get 15 energy but that’s gone in one click. I feel this will pull a lot of people away to play faster games. Don’t get me wrong it’s definitely a great game but it’s the littlest detail in designing a game that can pull people away. As a game developer from a very well know company what make people stay longer to play and enjoy a game rather than quickly popping on and then off to never get the true value of the game to get bored quick and stop playing, what makes them want to stay longer not play quickly no to just pop back on every 5 hours.

After playing for a while, you get to the point where the difficulty gets too high and then you can’t progress…..unless you want to pay A LOT of money. The only other option is to log on everyday and use the limited lightening bots (credits to play) to do a “quick patrol” (where you don’t actually play) and get a few scrolls to raise your characters. You’ll have to do that for weeks to months to get enough to strengthen your characters enough to go forward a only a couple of levels. Which means that you can’t even play for those weeks to months, just to play two or three more levels. What then? Then you’ll have to go back to logging onto the app and repeating (not being able to play) and push the button for “quick patrols” again for weeks to months. In other words, you’ll reach a point in the game where you can’t progress unless you pay a ton of money or login and hit a few buttons (.still not being able to actually play) and log off. A couple of months later, you can progress a few more levels and then repeat. Pay A LOT of money or wait again. It just gets WAAAAAY too difficult to continue. (When I say “a lot”, I’m talking about hundreds of dollars) It’s not that I’m not good at it. It becomes impossible no matter how good you are.

While I did enjoy the game a lot, and loved the speed up mechanic, once I reached stage 20, it was so ridiculous so I deleted it. I’ve played several other enemy wave games like this. There are just certain aspects that got on my nerves, but were manageable until the stages became unfairly difficult. It wasn’t just a rage quit, it was the realization that this stage would be extremely unpleasant without an obscene amount of grinding or very very lucky gacha pulls. I would not have deleted it otherwise. A challenge to conquer is satisfying. Struggling against an unfair system relatively early for weeks isn’t. The giant fire lizard spam that is only survivable with specific evo weapons (or a ridiculous amount of grinding) in stage 20 is crazy, plus that after the 2nd boss, their numbers increase yet their exp drop remains the same. 1. The fact that exp drops remain consistent as the enemies get harder/come in larger waves in a stage is also rather unfair. Other games of this type up the golden exp rate to compensate. 2. Your character will not attack with main weapon unless in range+direction at enemy, which is tiny. That plus the deceptively large hit boxes of bosses (you’d think it’d be their shadow, it isn’t) and their very low cooldowns makes your weapon, even the GUN, mostly just weigh you down. 3. When are double bosses, only the last one will drop anything. At least a potion or even some exp would be reasonable.
