SIEGE: World War II 12+

Pop up advertisements for other games during game play is terrible

Siege World War II, is an action-strategy game with solid gameplay. Where player skill plays a big role in winning matches. It also has a decent progression system, where you gradually level up your unit card or tactic(basically spell power) through gaining in-game currency and collect enough of the same card to upgrade, from “loot boxes”. But, since the beginning of 2020, the game developers have shifted their focus on the monetization of the game, rather than adding new content. I used to love this game since you could beat P2W people who have a higher level card, using better tactics and strategy. Since P2W player often doesn’t know how to efficiently manage their resources and relies on brute force to win. You can tell someone pays to win based on their matches played, rank, player level, prestige, and skill performance( or a lack of) and it always satisfies to win as an underdog with lower-level cards. There was a level of balance before despite P2W existed since you would need to pay a ridiculous amount of money to get any sizable advantage in a match. Around season 13 the game started to introduce a massive amount of "Deal" that give a significant amount of gold and loot boxes, for the player to get a big advantage in a match. This has led to P2W running rampant on all skill levels, and you run into someone P2W 80% time. This combine with the fact that there has been no new content added for the last 4 months makes you question whether the developers are trying to milk the game while they still can. The developers have lost any goodwill they accumulated from their fan over the year by introducing the anti-consumer monetization strategy, and milking their fan-like some kind of cash cow.
I can no longer recommend this game to anyone with the state it has become. A giant cash grab.

Update: It has a little over 2 months since the first review back on March 6, 2020. I try to stick around and see if the game gets any better, but the answer is that it has gotten worst. The "deal" only progressively getting bigger, to where there is a $139.99 USD "limited time" package deal. Where they using the carrot and stick strategy, swapping between good and bad "deal" to encourage people to buy the in-game currency. All the pay to win lead to the "Butter" tactic(as called by top clan), where people use carpet bomb, hero... card to go directly for the main and bypass the bunker leading to a win within the first minute. The dev only put a bandage on the problem by slightly nerfing it, since this strategy required several Legendary cards that needed pay to win to upgrade it to a high level for it to work. If nerfing it too hard, they afraid it could discourage people to participate in more P2W. They also increase the number of cards needed to upgrade the higher tier card, artificially inflated the value of it, and encourage more pay to win. Anyone who isn't p2w fallen to the way, unable to keep up without participating in P2W themselves. For example in a player name Kaka, this person been playing this game for years without p2w and got number one rank worldwide 2 seasons in a row. Now he can't even make it top 20, and barely top 50 worldwide. That person deserves some respect for still sticking with this game after it has become a P2W mess. The only content the dev added since March is "Alliance War", sound like a cool clan war, but all it really is counting the number on win a player in a clan have playing normal matches and not really one clan fighting another, then get another chest with a small reward if they get more point. There isn't any actual content aside from the constant "deal" the developer fills your screen with. After the latest update, where the developer reduces the time need for the loot box to open, but also its reward. This seems like a desperate measure to get people to play the game more and spend more money and I'm just done with. I leaving this game and not looking back. It a decent game with solid gameplay, ruin by greed, and aggressive monetization. I am glad to play this game but incredibly disappointed to see what it has become. If you are interested in another mobile cash grab with decent gameplay, go for it, if not I recommend you stay away because I know people who got addicted and rope into this game to the point of homelessness(it was COVID-19 related reason, but he seriously should save money on himself rather than throwing it at a mobile game).

Fun game. Makes my Down’s syndrome way less retarded
