3 stars: Too grindy to be great It's a well balanced game, but the main resource (gold) just requires too much grinding. It's too weighted toward pay, even for a freemium game. In addition, I would say there are too many stats and items to keep track of for a time waster. Trim off the fat and reduce the prices. Even paying for gold doesn't get you that far.
4 stars: A fun tactics game... The game reminds of Final Fantasy Tactics. Not exactly the same though... both have their own subtleties and of course mechanics. Both are worth playing. Tactic games like this are alot like an advanced chess game meets role playing. The pieces are animated, and can be advanced, manipulated etc... but theres certain abilities and rules that always persist. The difficulty etc increases as the player progresses. FF Tactics has a very advanced level and enjoyable story. This game is good, price / easy entry.
3 stars: Technically a tactical rpg It seems to me that the creators knew what a tactics rpg was but were making one to make money instead of to make a good game. "Tactics" are shallow. Challenges increase by sending bigger stuff at you instead of actually creating creative scenarios. Leveling is primitive and dependant on purchases and apropriately chalenging levels quickly evaporate making the amount of time your able to play each day shorter if you don't put money into the game.
5 stars: Great game overall Played quite a few hours, entertaining and rewarding. Events, although not...
