3 stars: Card based, time eating, death by ads. When I could play it was a fun time waster. The challenge threshold came in about 2 hours of game play and lasted an hour. Then the mobs became too much. Got a little further the next day.
4 stars: Overall decent game, strategy will get you far with some luck. No you don't have to spend to win, I normally come in first each arena tournament so gems are free this way. But some issues exist. Chests don't give proper amounts . Ex. Chest gives 100-150 coins but you might get 78 coins. Also the unit power doesn't work always I have troops says power NaN. What the hell is that suppose to mean.
3 stars: Fun game but you'll spend about 95% of your time watching ads unless you dish out a lot of money. The pay wall is pretty obvious
5 stars: It has a feel of heroes of might and magic III(HOMM3). A game that I played a lot back then. For sure, it's not as good as HOMM3, but the type of combat is the same. I like the game at the beginning. After a couple of weeks, honestly, I enjoy it a lot. Rewards for the weekly events are very satisfying. FYI Might be a deal breaker for some, but there is ads that you can watch to double your earnings.
4 stars: Definitely a toilet game, not to be rushed. It's really good, challenging. Play when you are sitting.
3 stars: Liking the HoMM feel but it suffers from the same thing 9/10 mobile games suffer from with looted boxes and infinite grind. And the games bugged. I spent half an hour ...
