Its for Casuals or Pay 2 Play
I honestly dont know what to score this game as. By in itself its core mechanics are good but because this is a mobile game, it has to play out like a mobile game. Heavy resource management, time based energy recoveries, and micro transactions.
As a free to play player, you will have to play for a very long time soaking up gold given by watching 10 videos a day for 30 gold total, missions, and whenever devs feel like handing out free gold for whatever reason. Then you need to pray to RNG to try and get a 4* let alone 5*. Follows the normal rules of a mobile game; need to pay to get good.
2 types of enemies: zombies and humans. Zombies are ridiculously easy to defeat even as a free player but the humans? I guess it works with realism, humans are stronger and tougher than enemies but to the point where I can easily finish the mission prior filled with zombies with ease and then the fail the first round of the next mission with humans because they can nearly 1-shot me? Harsh.
So then what? Well mobile game rules again, you grind and grind again til you slowly level up your teams. You either pay to play seriously or be the casual gamer occasionally poking at it.
Oh and this applies to their new current update, they added a new building but for some reason they took away 1 of my materials productions building to replace it and then not give me back that building so now I only have 1. To get my next 1, I need to upgrade my HQ to Lv8 which is currently Lv5 and I need materials to upgrade! So now I need to do more missions to get those materials. Thanks devs
