Review after 100 games

[sn00ze]

I play on PS5 but I still visit Steam as I love the Community Hub section for each game. It's active and a decent chance developers might see players feedback.

I'll start by saying I won't be sticking around unless the game improves, I'd rate it 5/10 in the current state. Here are the main reasons:

The matches are incredibly short. By the time I start having fun and the game is picking up, the match times out. This is an incredibly poor design. I don't if devs have done any research and are trying to adapt the game to the current "short span attention/quick mobile games" audience but it doesn't work for me. I've kept track of all my games and only 20% of the 2-army matches ended with either team destroying the core. The remaining 80% ended in time out. That's simply not fun having the match end like that.

Lack of characters. Only three playable characters? I don't take the excuse "the game is new". If there isn't enough content, don't release it.

Generic Season Pass/progression. So many developers are guilty of this. Zero innovation. Lazy copy-paste Battle Pass progression that's been done hundreds of times. It's cheap and screams of a cash grab.

5 army slot. The fact I can't obtain Gold currency by playing/quests and having the rooster limited to 5 characters without paying it's another cheap cash-grab tactic. I get it, the game is free. Offer free cosmetics, I'm perfectly fine with that but this isn't.

The gameplay/combat isn't that fun. It's clunky and plays like Beta version. I'm not even going to comment on the completely broken rank system. When the match ends, there's this weird camera-stuck view before you can exist it. There's no proper scoreboard to show k/d/a, healing/damage/block done, etc.

TL:DR - matches are too short, plays like beta, lack of content, and broken ranking system.

I've also mentioned th short match time being a problem, mainly in 5man army, posted about it in Discord a few times.
2man, I can actually get wins sometimes but 5man, hardly ever.

The only 3 classes and the 5 character slots is a major contention to me as well.
I dont mind the match length in 2 army battle.

5vs5 battles I dont mind too much the time either but I wouldnt be against slightly more time. As well as more things the commander can do besides alliance and betrayal (though that seems like its coming cause its more slots there)

But only 3 classes and the limit to character slots is def a major contention to me. Especially when there are other free games out there like Conqueror's Blade that has more weapon and class variety even when it released, not even talking about after updates.

Also dont like draws count as a defeat. If by definition if you stalemate, thats not a defeat but more so a win in the interest of war.

maybe an archer class or builder class later down the line but you have your core 3 atm.

My only issue is the loot at the end. i just hit 4* cleric 20% to the final unlock. and have yet to see any purple or orange drops for cleric. i seen more mage an warrior drops for equipment and skills for both than i have my main class. if they add any new classes you be lucky to see anything for them to drop.

Forgot to add, plenty of cheaters if I have cross-play enabled. All multiplayer games should have "ping 100+ms automatic kick" rule. There are so many flickering on the map it's impossible to attack them.
