And thus we see why these aids games are a success. People whaling without even knowing it. $500 for a sack of shit no depth mobile game. Vs just getting a fucking Nintendo and a few games for half the cost.

I mean you ain’t wrong. Same thing happened in Puzzle and Dragons back years ago over about 2.5 years. Adding up my bank statements after that just made me laugh so I stopped playing anything for a couple of years and am now game hopping hah.

no kidding... you found it?? on your own? all swgoh youtubers are paid to promote this raid game... I did a better research than first best galaxy vid on youtube, and am hyped about battlerise: kingdom of champions, it's in the alpha yet, so that's why it's probably unheard of - love the feeling there, it's like the old school dragon age, love this kind of dark fantasy :emoji_heart_eyes:

I just started playing this, anyone have a clan looking for another?
I stopped playing back in December I think. The slot machine is too blatant and I found myself feeling compelled to spend more money on this than any other game. Buyer beware.

Ya, this game is a bunch of fucking aids, I'm still logging in for no reason other than to slowly get to the newest free login reward heroes but I'm pretty close to deleting this garbage cash grab. (Thankfully only spent like $5 bucks when I started before I realize quite how bad they were)

I stopped a while back after they continually refused to add actual content and not just further dilute the hero pool with more and more characters. Still a couple of YouTube accounts I follow and seems like they’ve added a few things. Nightmare Mode and Faction Wars just didn’t cut it for me after like 6 months or more of nothing.

But they broke pvp. It's continuing a slide. Essentialy mid gold teams Populate like silver 1/2. Was gold 2 and struggle to stay in silver. Makes progress missions like 5 great hall stats to lv 5 basically a year of work at current rate.

Is there any way to play this game without spending lots of cash? The gotcha roulette seems a lot less forgiving than something like Genshin Impact. I play once in a while, but dont have teams power levels past 60K (ish)

The new Soul Stone area doesnt seem so great unless you have hours to waste on the grind

This is the worst game on the planet with the most repetitive simple boring grind and most aggressive cash shop p2w I've seen in any game. Like can drop $1000 and get almost nothing to show for it. There's a reason they advertise so prolifically everywhere.

Go try wh40k tacticus just came out. So far seems very reasonable free playing. Certainly some advantages to paid players but as of yet not nearly as a kick in the dick. Game play actually requires playing and thinking a little instead of just clicking auto.

I have to admit, I do not mobile game at all....but someone mentioned this game and some star wars game that is the exact same.

Where is the fun? After the 3rd or 4th battle and you see the auto button....you just hit auto and wait 2 mins and repeat. Once a day you can auto 30 fights....so afk for 30 mins.

I just don't get the appeal at all. You don't actually " play " anything.

correct. raid was tempting because of the gorgeous character models, and early you see various new bosses and enemies. but quickly you see the only further content is the same things with higher stats. meanwhile bombarded with near weekly new heroes or events to get heroes that are impossible to do dumping money into recharges or already having a heavy supply of sacrificial heroes. every little thing is randomized gacha pulled on gacha. can run a boss 1000 times trying to get a specific Stat roll and rarity then a fortune in materials trying to upgrade or where you can go 10+attempts pulling that casino lever.


it's disgusting and preys on retards and low impulse control people. that's every mobile game really, but this takes it so many levels further.

Wait, this is a real game? Every time I see an ad for it I feel like it's completely different-looking, to the point that I didn't know if there was an actual real game.

Same deal with that Evony game, all the ads are different-looking so it's like...wtf.

Half of the ads make them look like pr0n games with elves or whatever.

Well, glad it's a real game but I got off of Gatchas long ago. Spent maybe $200 in FFRK over a couple years until it got to where my characters could barely scratch any bosses without me buying new weapon-pulls or waiting like a month to amass enough daily rewards for a free pull. Just no

It was an easy autobattler and early on p2w wasn’t really a requirement. My team could clear almost all the content and wasn’t any ultra rare people. I probably have a spreadsheet saved somewhere.

The appeal was kind of like min/maxing your runs to see how efficiently you could grind something 1,000,000 times to get perfect rolls or drops. Oh this team does it in 55 seconds but this team does it in 35 seconds. That’s 20 seconds faster! Funny how quickly you forget every part of a game.

DH Games that makes Idle Heroes recently released Infinite Magicraid that in some YouTube videos looks similar and a ripoff of Raid. But I “trust” DH games to do it better since Idle Heroes has been around for so long and they’re still adding content. And F2P is very viable in that game and kind of fun once you get all the mechanics down.
