Pay to win with constant store spam – Alliance: Heroes of the Spire Review

The game has potential and is a bit grindy but has some fun mechanics. My 2 biggest issues are that store offers are spammed at you CONSTANTLY while transitioning to unrelated screens. It is SUPER annoying. I can understand showing an offer once to make me aware of it, but a bazillion times per game session is unacceptable. The second thing is a game design issue where you have to “eat” or sacrifice several equally leveled units to get your 1 unit up to the next tier. There is some trade-off in that if you don’t want to sacrifice something good you have to level up a bad unit as “food” to power up the good units. Once you understand that mechanic it isn’t terrible, but it makes the game super grindy and sacrificing units you invest in doesn’t feel good.
