Despite Angry Joe's review of this game, it is NOT a pay-to-win mechanic. Yes, you can pay to get new high-tier cards, but the only difference between Bronze, Silver, Gold and Cobalt cards is the color design of the character. A bronze is just as powerful as a cobalt. The only aspect that might be viewed as pay-to-win is that you can buy characters directly for $10 each. However, the price of characters isn't too steep that you can't work for them through playing the game. Each character should take only a week or two to unlock, less for the cheaper characters. The game is fairly well balanced in regards of both characters and maps, with the exception being one map (Underground) that heavily favors the attackers. On the whole, the community isn't filled with uptight asshats like other games like CoD or Dota.

8/10 - Would play again.
