This game is similar in concept to many others wherein you build up your main power base via research, training, construction, upgrades, and such. Joining an alliance to work together, also a standard. The issue is the severe pay to win mentality. Once you pass like level 15 or so, definitely 20 and higher, the requirements for upgrade and training are so astronomical both in resources needed and time span to accomplish that it is utterly ridiculous. It is money grubbing of the worst sort as the hame caters to “wallet warriors” who pay $thousands to grow. Nobody who doesn't spend a LOT of real money will get far. Also there is no system in place to limit how far below one’s own power level someone can attack. Continually, the most careful of players get smashed mercilessly because something happened in real life causing them to miss renewing a defensive shield. Literally months and months of hard work are destroyed in a split second when someone with a billion force smashes someone with one million, or ever 50 million. Do not play this game unless you want to live under a shield or open a very wide wallet.
