Great and Not-So-Great – League of Heroes™ Premium Review

This is a great game when you start playing it, but after a while you realize that it was designed merely to get you to watch endless ads and/or sell you gems for your actual money (not game money) in order to progress. To reach boss levels, you must buy pieces of armor which can cost you quite a lot of gems once you've reached a certain level. This is especially disheartening when you've paid for the game expecting to be given a break with the difficulty of earning gems. While you do start off with more gems in the paid version, you run into the same issue eventually. This would be a 5-star game if there were more opportunities to earn gems. Maybe after beating the boss, they can reward you with 10 gems instead of 1. Perhaps some of the pots you can break for coins can also include a gem or two every once in a while. Maybe the village granny can reward you with 5 gems instead of 1 after you've done the task she's asked you to do. Maybe even after beating a few of the big monsters, a gem can pop up. Another thing is the energy points. If you run out of them, you can't continue playing–unless of course you text, email or Facebook share about the game… or the more passive of the options, wait seven minutes. This should be excluded entirely, in my opinion. It would also be nice if none of the bosses or challenges were repeated, but maybe I'm asking for too much. I don't think I've ever written a bad review on here, but I was disappointed, so I thought I'd share my thoughts to people wondering whether it's a good idea to spend the 3 dollars after all. It's better to just play the free version. I understand that the company who created this is trying to make money off the game. Good on them, but it's a bit much for my taste. All I know is I'd rather pay more for a well-rounded game, than be annoyed that I paid 3 dollars for a game that continues asking things of me. On the bright side, the designers did a great job with the look of the game. It's what attracted me to it in the first place. The real weather feature is also pretty cool.
