Moon's Haunted

Blood for the Emperor, Skulls for the Golden Throne!

♥♥♥♥ Jeff.

We survived 200 days straight until one of my friend decided it was a good idea to add random ingredients in our soup pot without realizing he also added bleach which someone stored near the stove then distributed the soup for everyone. Killing an entire cast of 8 people and himself in an unexpected tiktok challenge.

"I don't know what that thing called "bleach" is, I thought it sounds delicious" - My best friend who isn't great at english.

If you met a cute and cuddly looking aliens, They are probably genocidal. Stick with the blorg, they are really friendly despite their appearance.

I really wanted to recommend this game since this is one of my favorite CIV game. When this game first came out, I was really like the district mechanic and better combat compared to civ v imo. However, I find the AI being really underwhelming. Apart from bonus advantage from difficulty, It doesn't really has any solid district or city management. They even perform so bad in combat against the players, the only time they win is because in Deity, they just keep piling up units that the player couldn't keep up in early game but when player really get things going, they don't have anything else to compete with the player. They don't even use DLC units apart from spamming cultist without using them.

What's worse is that the game gets more issue every time new updates come out and I expected the update from frontier pass to have at least fix the performance and stability issue like game crashing every few turns or just outright crash your gpu drivers on both Nvidia and AMD. Instead they just keep adding game modes to an already bloated game which only 2 of them being barely good enough and the OP CIVs to the game.

The game came out great until rise and fall then gathering strom that start getting performance issue then it went downhill with frontier pass adding more bloated gamemodes while the crashing issue and other gamebreaking bugs which remains for 2 years.

If you want to play Civ Vi just wait for 75% sale on main game and 2 expansion pack. Don't bother buying frontier pass or full price on a game that crashes at least twice every time you play and the dev doesn't even acknowledge this or do anything to fixes their game apart from adding more and more small contents which makes the game performs even worse.

Muck this game.

Basically WoT but better. less grinding, more generous rewards for playing (e.g. better daily mission reward, free boosters, events and battle pass reward even for free tier. ) espicially clan mission that gives you a lot of bonus. Gameplay is much more faster at ~5 min. I moved to Blitz since War Thunder was too much grind for me and for WoT having removed tank weakspots for some reason and getting bored of Arty. If you played WoT before, you would settle right in just fine.

The graphic is obviously lesser than WoT but it isn't ugly for a mobile game and your PC should be able to run smoothly without any framedrop.

The downside of this game is the player on your team. Just like other similar titles, this game also suffer from questionable teammate decision that led to your defeat, This happened mostly at lower tier (up to tier V or VI) since those players haven't fully learned about the game yet and it's really fast to get a low tiers vehicle. But from tier VII, it's really enjoyable to play. Also, some of the premium tanks are a bit OP for its tier.

Overall, This game is fun either you want to play in a long run or just occasionally hop in when you have nothing else to do.

While it doesn't offer realistic gameplay like War Thunder. WoT has an arcade style gameplay which is relatively easy to play and enjoyable. Gameplay is pretty smooth and progress is less grinding imo (at least for vehicle upgrade. Thanks god I don't have to research fire extinguisher all over again every time I unlocked a new vehicle). If you're looking for an arcade tank battle this might worth giving it a try. For a new player. They give you a lot of starting bonus including a free collectible Tier VI tank which is good for farming credits and free xp.

TLDR at the bottom.
I've had fun with War Thunder espicially when the ground forces was added to the game. However The game has been changed. It's just becoming more and more of a p2w. I quited for a while and decides to give it another try and found out it's even worse because of their monetization scheme.
You progress very slowly toward reseaching a new vehicle and some are just exactly the same tank with only a few change (Tiger H1 and Tiger E for example) but you still have to unlock all modifications which doesn't make sense apart from making you so frustrate and buy a premium account to speed up your progress 2 times faster or just skip it with golden eagles which doesn't worth it at all.
Overpriced vehicles and bundles which are very good or just outright OP that will be nerfed in the future patch to sell the new ones, A vicious cycle that I hate most. Server is also bad with you can experience every now and then and they claims that they fixed everything (eg. Ghost shells that still exist to this day) and packet loss problem that has been a nuisance to several people. They instead open a gaijin market(like steam market but worst) and take big amount of fees from people trading items and vehicle that are no longer obtainable by other means.
If you want to try out this game, go ahead. You might find it to be fun but keep one thing in mind. Gaijin doesn't listen to your opinions of the game. They just want your cash. Certain tech tree are way too good while other tech tree remains terrible throughout the patches(I'm looking at you, UK. Your AP shell is terrible while every other nations have access to APHE shell that will likely 1shot vehicles). Teamplay is very simple, either your team stomped enemy team like they're bots or the other way around. You will rarely find a match where both teams are equally good. Also if you want to play historical tank moment, well forget it because cold war tank and WW2 tanks are in the same BR. You can play as Tiger II and get annihilated by guided rockets or stabilized shell that penetrates your frontal armor like a paper no matter how you try to angle your tank.

TL:DR. P2W focus, unbalance gameplay, Dev doesn't fix or atleast make the game the way players want but continue to milk their customers dry. questionable BR system.
