::UPDATED::

This is backed by a Russian owned company.. My.Games is a pawn of Putin.. I wouldn't trust it no more than I trust Kaspersky to be a valid antivirus software. If Russia touches it and you live in the West - I would beware as multiple times 'AntiVirus' has flagged this game with Trojans.

I used to have faith in it.. no more.. you can't trust them to not steal your data.

---------

The cash shop is the biggest turn off for this game. It's about as bad as any EA Loot Box game.

If you don't mind paying $50 for a single troop to get the 10% bonuses(think World of Tanks), then it might not be an issue - but to play competitive, expect to shell out cash along the same lines as ArcheAge or other P2W games and expect a $10 monthly sub.

The game is quite fun at lower levels, but drops off once you start hitting the higher levels as progression slows to a crawl. This means you'll be up against players several hundred levels above you with far superior troops and no real way to defend against them in battles.

If you enjoyed the progression path in World Of Tanks mixed with the action / siege gameplay of Mount & Blade, this one might be for you.

If you hate loot boxes and anything resembling P2W, stay away.


There's posts of Trojans which due to it being a Russian game, it wouldn't shock me - but I haven't seen anything along those lines yet and I've watched it a bit with glasswire and wireshark.

**UPDATED**

The latest release only increased the gains that are able to be bought - everything from paying to complete quests (Payoff Button) to the premium / sub model of $10 monthly and a battle pass $10, plus premium characters that give % bonus to gains ($50)

While I don't mind paying for a game.. don't advertise it as 'free' when to actually compete you need these items - that's the turnoff here.. be upfront about what you're selling.


**UPDATED**

While playing at the higher levels, I've noticed that the cash shop becomes less of an issue.

It does give advantages early on, but its much harder to get a competitive advantage and more a unit selection advantage is all it grants.

While, I don't love this - its not awful either.
