so much random. high end game will be dominated by cashmoney netdecks. if you want to compete be ready to spend spend spend.

short format is the only plus i see. would still like the time back i wasted here.

boring game. you will spend more time watching your opp play than actually playing the game.
turns feel a year long.

game is dominated by combo one turn kill decks. if you have played ygo you know what to expect.

cash grab . buy your way to the top . extremely grindy if you dont pay .

warning cash pit ahead .
-extremely pay to win .
-never use diamonds except on guaranteed pulls . the 5x boost is a trap .
-bad droprates on hero quests .

++ always has events running.
+has chat if you like that , ignorable if you dont.
+endless boss hunts , at its core a bossraid game .

character growth is very limited - big picture long term growth .
-very grindy.
-takes a long time to get to max limited growth.
-many many resources needed = grind+slow .

progress get very slow very quickly . i do like watching the truck zoom around .

very slow progress . likely between 1-2 weeks in it will take you an hour++ to reach your wall .

fairly simple and straight forward .
formation system gives you things to think about and arrange that other idles dont have .

massive loss of progress after a couple updates .
they had to roll back an update that completely crippled the game on steam .
ignore player input .

>>very idle. low activity .

>>daily check in game . when you can go west usually hit wall in 20 mins of play , then its all about waiting , or spending money and waiting , or spending even more money for time boosts .

actual gameplay example :
-area 4 town 44 . at wall with nothing to do but wait . crossing any upgrade will take hours .
6x booster = +100% from daily and x5 lulu you either have to pay for or watch ads on mobile.
13 hours to go west . without lulus x5 it would be 60+hours to go west . you need to spend more coin every 2 hours to keep the x5 . you can also spend coin every 4 hours on piano for another x2 boost. but if you are playing free 60+ hours .

-area 4 town 16 with a +100% daily boost and x2 lulu *free* boost = 261 hours to reset .
checking in periodically to lv shops and buy upgrades will bring the timer down but this reset will probably take 2-3 days .

extremely slow progress . buying the special high diamond and cash only promo packs will grant huge advantages over the silver and gold diamond chests that you might be able to open once*gold* or twice *silver* a month with diamonds from daily reward .

you CAN fight in arena as much as you want but can only win cards 5 times per server day . getting coins from arena requires 3 wins . you can get coins 20 times a day *60 wins*

they do occassional diamond give aways which is a plus .

expensive . card and gold cost to upgrade heros increases quickly . common rarity cards require tons of cards and become outclassed immediately by monstrous*purple* cards .
-my highest common is 8 reqs 200 cards and 1000g for lv9 .
-got cards from guild event and diamond chest , next highest common is 5 .

if you hate to lose skip this game . you are going to lose a lot .

expensive game .

very slow progress .

pve mode -journey- has a bank of 5 attempts .
-each attempt has a recharge rate of 6 hours - unless you pay .
-each node refreshes once at turn of server day - unless you pay .

dark tower - one run per day - unless you pay .

arena .
all chests have timers . from league 25 up as follows .
-common 1 hour - unless you pay.
-rare 3 hour - unless you pay.
-big rare 6 hour - unless you pay.
-epic chest 24 hour - unless you pay.

common/rare hero pack for league 17 costs 2500 gold .
a win in league 17 gives 50 gold .
2500/50 = 50 wins needed to buy ONE common/rare pack .

upgrading heros/cards costs hundreds and thousands of cards .
upgrading heros/cards costs hundreds and thousands of gold .
