The game itself is pretty good. It's hard to be in the game, and not having fun. When the game is playing and you're in it - it's a good time.



Everything else is kinda trashy. It will take you ages to unlock any character. I've played 12 games and won 6 of them - sure you can use that to say I'm not very good at the game, but this is a game where I have no control over 9 of the 10 players in it - and that has amounted to 17 rift embers. You need 450 rift embers to unlock a character. If I'm averaging about 2 embers per game, this game is asking you to play about 225 games to unlock one character.



Let's suppose you want to be a good digital citizen and purchase characters one by one for real dollars. You like the game and want to support it with money. Okay.



Each character costs some amount of premium currency which can only be purchased with actual money so the fact that these characters aren't just being sold for actual money is already one level of unnecessary obscurity. The premium currency needed to unlock a character CANNOT BE PURCHASED. Premium currency can only be bought in increments of 1,250 (250 per $) - 2,750 (275 per $)- 5,750 (287.5 per $) - 15,000 (300 per $) - and 32,500 (325 per $) while characters themselves range from 900 to 2500.



Unlocking every character in the game would cost 21,700 premium currency.



While the question: what's the best deal? might make for an interesting math problem, this system is virtually guaranteed to overcharge you by making exact change impossible. For someone mathematically inclined it is a puzzle . . . probably the best value is to buy 5$ worth at 2,750 and use that to get the 3 cheap heroes.



This cash shop is asking for at least $60, just for the characters. It's asking at least that again for all the various accoutrements.



I just . . . I don't see the value there. In terms of production value, I don't see 60$ up on the screen. This game is way too expensive to own so the question you should be asking yourself is: what portion of the pie do I think is worth playing? It's a question I hate to ask myself when I'm just trying to enjoy the game.



I get that this developer probably doesn't want you to unlock characters too quickly for perfectly valid reasons. It's free to play, they need to make their money back somehow. There's not that many characters in the game, if you were unlocking them super fast you'd be done way too quickly. That last reason is maybe just padding - but it feels like it has more weight than just nothing.



The game's fun, I'm probably going to keep playing it, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if unlocking anything isn't extremely arduous.
