Acts like a Freemium title, but isn't free. – Panthera Frontier Review

Device: iPhone 6s Plus I don't buy mobile games, but this one grabbed my attention with it's Faster Than Light-like gameplay footage with adorable animal characters. I figured why not - it couldn't possibly behave like the Freemium games I'm used to playing on mobile, since I paid five bucks for this one, right? The game continues to feature in-app purchases even after you buy it. In-game currency is slow to come by, and upgrading your ship feels like a grindfest because of it. Again, I would expect that sort of thing from a free game - not one with a price tag. Additionally, there have been several moments where the game has altogether frozen - "soft crashed" - where the music is still playing, the idle animations are still running, but nothing can be interacted with. I have to fully close out the game and restart it, sometimes losing a little progress. This game is disappointing to say the least. It's rough around the edges and still feels like a grind-filled Freemium title with in-app purchases. Would not recommend.
