PC version of generic addictive "FREE to play" mobile game
You must have seen one of those thousands of generic mobile games out there that are "FREE to play". They are basically just cheap knockoffs of other successful games and their sole purpose is to make money by exploiting people's addiction.

This game is EXACTLY like them. They didn't create something new. They didn't even copy other games right. Some games copy other games but they do it right so the result feels unique and fun. This game isn't THAT. This game isn't fun. It's only addictive with disgusting payment systems. Free To Play? More like, "Free To Start But You Will Pay Way More Than Just Buying A Game Because It Is Super Addictive And You Will Get Frustrated Farming 0.00001% Chance Materials Unless You Pay".

Guys, there are like hundreds of thousands of great games out there that are actually fun and engaging and have great stories AND don't have disgusting payment systems. Go play those instead. It's a genuine advice.

Skill issue. I've already cleared Hard mode executioner with only a basic bunny with an activator. Never spent a dime.

Yeah this game isn't Free To Play. It's Free To Start. And the rest is what I said above.
lmfao so is destiny 2 and warframe by that same definition yet warframe is held up as one of the best free games of all time. if you dont like grinding games i get that no everyone does but making these rage bait posts really wont do anything.

I didn't play Warframe, but I played Destiny 2 a lot.
1. You have to buy the most recent DLC to enjoy the most recent contents.
2. Those DLCs are one time payment. They are like expansions for old games.
3. Once you buy those DLCs, There are A LOT of contents to enjoy. Like raids, dungeons, etc, and they regularly update the game for free.
4. Grinding in Destiny 2 isn't NEARLY as frustrating as grinding in this game. It's actually fun and Bungie did a great job at that.
5. Destiny 2 is addictive, but it's fun, so it's okay. And Bungie doesn't exploit the game's addictiveness to MILK money from the customers, at least not as much as obviously and diabolically like this game.
6. Destiny 2's the most recent DLC, The Final Shape got 81% positive reviews (very positive), whereas this game only got 51% positives (mixed).

Because I wrote that review 2 years ago, and TFS came out only recently? Duh?

almost like they added a feature to reviews where you can update them at a later date.

this thread has really derailed. this game has absurd grinds. but unless the op has been playing an insane amount he shouldn't have encountered that problem. my furthest friend is almost to Pyro. he is working on his 4th descendant and his 4th ultimate weapon. he hasn't purchased a single thing and is under 40 hours played.

it is nothing like a mobile game. 99.99% of the playerbase isn't likely at a place where the grind becomes bad. tbe gameplay is very good. I doubt the op is either. People are enjoying it buy no everyone will. these types of games are a bit grindy
