Pill Fortress

I do like this game. I play it from time to time but what really stops me from giving it beyond 3 stars are the ads they require you to watch for specific pill card upgrades. It really irks me that they require you to watch ads to use specific card upgrades while playing. You have to unlock them to use them but you can’t really use them without watching an ad mid game once you start unlocking them. You have to watch an ad every time you see one of these specific upgrade cards. Kind of scummy to show someone an upgrade that you can unlock but you can’t really use it without watching an ad or require you to pay for it. I get they need money for a free to play game but there’s literally several other opportunities to watch ads all over this game. Don’t lock upgrade path cards behind ads that you have to spend premium current on to unlock.

This game is pretty decent. Avoiding how bland the game generally is, it’s pretty fun. However, there is a point in the game where battles become IMPOSSIBLE unless you watch an ad. Unless you want to lose over, and over, and over until you somehow get lucky enough to win, which makes this game so much less fun. The fact that to unlock some abilities for a pill during a match makes you watch an ad to gain it for only that battle, that really ticks me off because no one wants to watch an ad just to unlock something for a battle that they will end up losing anyways… Something’s that need to be unlock, like the points to upgrade your pills can only be collected from beating new levels, the ranking system, and quests. Beating new levels is the only real efficient way to unlock those points, so when beating new stages becomes impossible, what do you think happens? This game has really good potential… It truly does. But the ad system that this game uses greedily really does a number on how fun this game is. At the very least, make waves in battles go one at a time, instead of just constantly goin thorough the waves, practically suffocating the player. This would make the game less dependent on ads, and more fun. (But the developers wouldn’t want that, would they. They want the money)

This game is a lot of fun but I keep running into a point where the game will freeze. It happens on battle 7 about when the final boss comes out. It doesn’t make a difference what pills are on the board and I’ve had it freeze when I need to pick a card and after the card selection is gone. I would really like to keep playing this game. I can see putting multiple hours into this. Can’t wait for future updates!
