RAID HQ 12+

I like the game and it’s fun to play but honestly the build times and promotion times needed for upgrades are sometimes 6 days or more? That is utterly ridiculous basically forcing you to buy gems. Also, you should be able to promote multiple squad members at the same time instead of waiting for one to finish and then promoting the next squad member. Every aspect of this game pushes you to buy gems to speed up the process of building your squad and defenses, skill points earned for leveling up don’t even put a dent in the amount of time needed. Skill points used for “promotion time” reduce the amount of time needed to promote by maybe 10 minutes, which is equivalent to watching 1 advertisement. It would also be nice if I can use my gems for exactly what squad member I want to buy instead of randomly choosing for me. It’s my money I’m spending on gems I should be able to choose what squad members I want to purchase with those gems, instead your at the mercy of the “random drawing” each time you purchase a card chest. Fix these things and I will change my review to a 5 star rating. 2 stars for fun factor alone. Knocked 3 stars off for promotion time, build time, and random card drawings that basically waste my money on cards I don’t want.

I feel like the concept is cool but it just doesn’t hold up to the more polished games. It feels like a weird arcade version of boom beach. The troops aren’t exciting or very interesting. It’s hard to compare them to each other so I would just be randomly picking my squad for any given battle. It was fun for a few days but then the flaws in the mechanics started showing. There isn’t a huge downside to loosing a raid so I eventually stopped trying to defend my base. Because upgrades take so long you don’t really need to raid because you can just farm the currencies needed in the down time. It just got really boring really fast.
