App Profile: Gear Fight!

I found this app through an ad on a different game, which I don’t play anymore because I’m now obsessed with this game! Super easy to follow and understand the gameplay and it’s so much fun! Great time waster! The ONLY thing I don’t like is that there’s no way to see what the different gears do or the stats. It would be great if there were like a gallery to see them and see what they do and maybe even upgrade the individual gears that aren’t fighters.

So, got this a couple of months ago, got hooked, and eventually maxed out my mini-gears and have my troops at 375+ levels.. As I am adverse to in game purchases, I’ve slowly been building up my gems for another “team” just to see what they did differently from the Forest and Savage groups. Went on this morning, and I see new, cutesy art and now my troops are effective at a 50 to 100 level against the baddies. I know this is probably from much younger players, but there wasn’t much wrong with the characters as they were. This is almost like taking your sibling’s plush collection and facing off against a mech squad. It was fun to watch the skirmishes and find the best gear mix, but now it is just a little painful to watch. I’m all up for tuning the melee balances, but woah.. All those cute smily faces now getting pummeled by evil forces is almost too much. Good game, though…. Maybe another update will change things again?

First up, the good. No forced ads that I noticed (though lots of buttons to prompt an ad for rewards). No banner ads. But ... The balance is extremely bad. Your own troops are worthless, no matter how good they are, because the enemy troops outscale them dramatically, easily doing 15-50x the damage to your troops than your troops can do to them. (and their health scales the same, too). Can't even win by spamming troops because they will get AoE one-shotted, often from range. // It becomes a matter of hoping you get a good attack gear quickly. Get a good gear going with a relatively high speed, and then ... cakewalk. Still may have some leakers though w/o lots of attack gears at a high speed, but the final wave is often defeated by your attack gears before your first troop has even landed on the ground. It's fun for a bit, and then it's just ... frustrating at the start of a run and boring at the end of a run. *shrug*
