Tower Defense: Lazy Apocalypse

My three major gripes are things that other games do but somehow this game does them a lot worse. 1. In app purchases. I get that’s how these games make money but holy shoot. Does EVERY advantage in the game need one. You have crystals. Some things that need real money could be paid for In crystals. $40 dollars for a single pass. $20 dollars a week for extra rewards. 20 a week to remove ads. And that’s not even mentioning the events. 2. Slow progress is killing the game. After about level 1000, progression comes to almost a full stop. Even spending 100s of dollars you’ll only progress 10 or 20 levels every other week. 3. Nerfing the weapons with every update. Idk if that’s a mechanic in the game to wring out more money or a purposeful update but it’s killing interest in the game. I played for maybe 2 months. And one of those months was stuck at level 1000. I just gave up and deleted. If those issues are fixed, I and ALOT of others will happily redownload it but the progress to play time ration is EXTREMELY one sided.

Played it for a couple days and was really enjoying myself, but after those days the reality set in. They offer a 50% off sale to remove adds. Sounds great, right? 50% off is $20! You can buy AAA titles for that! Then you start to see the trap where EVERYTHING is behind an ad watch. So the arbitrary deal is not to make the gameplay better, but instead to make progression less miserable. However, even when watching all the ads and getting all the goods, progressing is still unacceptably slow. Now I figure you’re probably wondering what a random progression complaint actually means, so here’s that dirty laundry. When you start playing the game, there’s a 7 day progression you can follow. Pretty typical. The problem is that each day you have to be able to progress 30 more waves. Waves 1-30, not too bad. After that, the waves get massively harder and your gear just can’t keep up. Overall the game isn’t bad. It is designed specifically to get you to spend money not to make the game better, but to make it less miserable. Don’t really recommend this one.

I play bunch of other games but wanted to check out some other new ones. This one was engaging from the get go. So much so I finally broke and purchased $5 pack and got addicted to the big boost and thought hmm that $15 looks nice. Then..well, how they get cha lol hint pet makes a huge difference. Dragon is dope. Cat is much weaker. Fun game. Wish there was more to do once all add stuff is done. Also the $5 bucks to get rid of adds will save so much time. Like the speed pass at the rollercoaster. Cheers!
