Starts out fun, gets tedious and frustrating – Age of Empires: Castle Siege Review

This game went from being fun to horrible really quickly. There are two general aspects to the game: building your castle and attacking others. At first you can build things relatively quickly, but then it takes a long time to build or upgrade anything -- 2 to 3 days -- unless you buy Gold. Fine, they need to make money, I get it. But the attacking others part is where it soon gets unbearable. The game "matches" you with other opponents, based on some mysterious algorithm. After a while ALL opponents it matches had MUCH more advanced castle than my units are capable of defeating. You can "skip" an opponent by expending food, but they just keep showing you the same set of opponents, even if you expend food! That's right -- skip an opponent by expending your resources, and you will see it again after you skip two others! Haha, jokes on you! I'm done with this game. Don't bother!
