200 gems for upgrading characters is insane – Beat Street Review

It costs 200 gems to upgrade a character. The only way you’re gonna get that many is if you pay money for these or grind the HELL out of them and there’s no real way to grind for them. Only way to earn gems is through chests that you can open once you receive 3 keys, the daily gift box (I think it’s 10 gems at most if you’re lucky enough to get gems as the gift is randomized), and/or through the daily challenges when the most is again 10 gems if you’re lucky to receive that as a reward. If you’re trying to grind for these gems, you better not use them to “continue” after losing because you’ll lose gems QUICK. Especially if you’re low or have run out of energy. C’mon guy I mean you’re already making us wait to play by limiting the energy (which I’ve learned to deal with) but then slamming us with the 200 gems upgrading system?? When you don’t even give us a good chance of obtaining them without $$$?? This game is incredible and I enjoy it very very much. I love the character selection and the fact there are a TON of levels but that gem thing man. I wanna be able to use Lee in later levels but I can’t because he caps at 20 and it’s so hard to gain gems without paying so much. I will gladly pay for the full version with no energy limits and a much easier way to earn gems but I don’t see myself spending money on gems dawg sorry it’s gonna be a no for me.
