This game is phenomenal overall, conceptually and in practice I love this game. It’s like backpack battles for PC but with more overall content and characters. But, about the topic of the characters, they are INSANELY overpriced (imo). I’ve been playing (on and off) since release and only have 5 characters total having not spent any money on the game, and honestly I’d be more than willing to have this be one of 3-4 mobile games I pay money in/for if they made the characters more affordable. Like if there was only 2 new characters the price would still be over-the-top but not as unreasonable, but how should I be expected to pay (at minimum) $6 for 8 more characters, making it almost $50 to plat the game to its fullest extent? The devs should make a pack for all the characters (and potentially new ones) for like $5-$10, or at the bare minimum make them cheaper in diamonds. Like why is it $10 in diamonds for 1 character but $6 in actual money?? I feel like that’s a bit off overall and I think a good amount of people would agree. And honestly even $10 seems a bit unreasonable seeing as the core function of the game is the stuff you put in your backpack and the new characters bring new stuff that could make or break your run, but at least that way I could say that the game mechanic is less of a cash grab and more of a “support to the devs will give you more in the game” type of situation.
