iPhone 6+ – Defense of Fortune 2 Review

Copied from my Touch Arcade review: I looked for the IAP listing on the App Store and since there wasn't one I assumed there wouldn't be any free to play elements in this paid game. Imagine my surprise when I found the "buy now to win" button in game. I wouldn't have purchased had I known, and that's my first impression. Each of your castles has a resource called ether. This is used to deploy units when you attack another castle. If you start a fight with 5,000 and lose that fight because you run out of ether, your castle is left with no ether to attack or defend itself. This can be fixed by building ether generators in those castles and those cost (can you guess?) real money. Well, they cost gems but you can only afford one before running out and having to buy more. When you have multiple building spaces inside one of many castles it's clear you will have to put up some IAP money in order to have the ether to continue playing. Shame, it looks interesting and deep otherwise.
