Be ready for a grind

This game is fully playable as F2P, you don’t need to buy IAP’s however it will naturally take you longer to get decent heroes, that being said, even with decent heroes it’s still a lengthy process to level them up. This game has many grinding properties, if you want to play this game be prepared to be playing for several years before you accumulate a good depth of fully levelled up heroes and troops. It’s still fun nonetheless. There are downsides, pull ratios are low, you will mainly get season 1 heroes which are not as powerful as the newly released heroes. Power creep is prevalent in this game due to the nature of new heroes being released constantly, however as with any game of this type, you will come across stronger opponents, and you will come across weaker opponents. Some events are clearly tailored to high level players so you will not be able to complete them, but this is completely understandable. Events often have multiple tiers of difficulty for this reason.Be wary of spending money on gems etc as you will be unlikely to get what you want in the summon gates as it is random, but the pull ratios are accurate. Ascension items are rare so even with high level (5* characters) you may not be able to level them up/ ascend/ max them for a long time. This game is better played in an active clan/ alliance. The more you contribute to the alliance (titans, wars etc) the more rewards you will get which in turn will allow you progress faster. The game has a lot of content/ levels and challenges and there is plenty to do. Do not play this game thinking you will achieve greatness in a short time frame.I really enjoy this game, I buy IAP’s infrequently so I’m not fully F2P.

Why the cash withdrawal from my account for goods purchased is always bigger than cost set in the price list?

The definition of grindingYou fight and get recruits, which you train using food and time to later feed to the characters you are trying to level up. And for that you get fake levels, which you need 30 of to get a real single level up for a single card... And you have 5 of those... That takes A LOT OF TIME. And if a couple of levels down the line you decide you want to level up a different card of that color... we’ll, you get the idea

This game deserves at most 1 star but I rate on 2 because of nice pictures/images that build climate.I’d been playing this game over year before I decided remove it and I don’t know what has directly changed but the really low chance of summon stronger hero, unbalanced raids in which opposite team is scored much lower than your but it overwhelms you easily, and many other mechanics, are/became so annoying that game stopped give me satisfaction of playing.I’m very happy that I didn’t lost any money for this thievish system of sweating.If you don’t want to waste your time just don’t install that game. That application basis only on your faith that maybe next time you will have more luck- and usually it doesn’t happen.
