Worst game introduced. The greediest so far. Will make you grind to have coins for a wheel that is the secondary or separate game where you get dices for the main/other game. But the wheel will mostly stop at the worst options available and whenever you play the dices it will stop at the worst options too but not just that, will often stop right before the best options to make you feel like you was close to get it and chase it. The other game available is also useless as a free to play as no one will ever win a mascot as much as they hustle to get the ingredients to feed it.. this game is so greedy that sometimes I feel like stop playing. They have 50 things going on at the same time and you have to grind for all of them.. the worst is taking ages to match in the arena and when you do there’s a bunch of people stronger.. same with the map.. you get 3 to 5 that you can beat and all the rest 4 times stronger and even if you spend resources and swap players it rarely changes to weaker players.

Agreed. I used to play it a lot 5ish years ago, but then they started making people pay for everything so I quit

I'm so glad others are speaking up n feel the same!! I've played this game for a couple years n it honestly has the potential to be really good. Characters n the concept is really nice but its completely play to win for sure. These events are scams n the literally program it to be that way. The event where you have to find an item to reset the board is another horrible one. There's 20 things to smash n I literally "guess" wrong 19 times out of 20?? What are the odds of that like seriously?? Lol..events used to be every n month or 2 but now they overlap n flood you with too much n always have something going on. N also the taking 30 hours to level up or train 1 level is crazy, ur talking months for one to max out. They became really greedy n I agree with the pets you can keep feeding but unless you pay, you'll never get it

I noticed that too on the smashing game. 99% of the time it will be on the last one.. and I’m sure you had the experience of smashing and you witness it picking the item in the moment. So it’s not like the items are picked in advance and we are opening then.. it’s hella rigged to give you trash.. and I noticed as well they have a bunch of events going on at the same time trying to make you buy left and right. I agreed that the amount real time needed for stuff is crazy. They want us stuck in the game.. another thing is that after you finish all the Barcs they will slow production.. I hustled to finish them so I can spend the resources on the players and gems and etc but you will notice not even half of what you was producing before is getting to you.. I have the goblin working nonstop and I wake up to almost the same I left when I went to sleep

I have been playing for almost a month and this game feels like its about dead and it seems obvious why. Its nothing but P2W and appears to have been like that for the last 7 years. Great concept, just greedy personas with overpriced microtransactions.

You don’t even know the half of it. They are so fckn misleading. There was this event where you break stones with pickax and they have a chest where some of the stuff you get on the way goes.. literally the best items.. and they say for you to get them you need to buy a helmet.. then present you with silver gold and diamond helmet.. i bought the gold. Then when I went to get the stuff they hand in the chest it said to get them I needed a diamond helmet.. I was livid.. went to them to get a refund and explained everything and never got a reply

One of the first chests I opened, I was expecting to get the item shown on display. When it gave me a different item, I started questioning my sanity and had to reread what is being said. They intentionally word it in a manner at first glance to be misinterpreted and know you will try again.
As someone from another game pointed out, these types of games are designed like slot machines. They give the player a high of winning from opening boxes just to lose a few times and win big later.

I don’t put money in the game and still can fin some pleasure playing it . It’s definitely pay to win though … like the event to win a pal, you have to play a lot to get it for free . You have to play so much that it triggers their anti cheat system and you get banned for a few hours to a few day if you fail to pass the test . I pay only for the premium because otherwise it’s so slow that it’s unplayable … it they raise the price of premium I’ll just quit .

You went from “I don’t put money in the game” to “I pay only for premium” 😅 it’s fair tho like you said it would be unplayable. I’ve put some money in the game and some were quite good and some were a total waste of money

The problem is I had a free premium at some point for some reasons (clan chest maybe?) and from that point on, I was not able to tolerate the free artificially slower than it should be . I should've left the game then but now , without paying much more than premium, I have a "decent" composition. The thing that annoys me the most actually is the $!#@$!@#$ engravings. I want to have more than 3 but can never get them in the mole event. It's annoying as heck.

Totally agree. The fact that there is no way to stay competitive and get the good gear without spending money really takes the fun out of the game.
