Too many patches – ChronoBlade Review

The game requires you to have an internet connection to play it. They release patches to update the game regularly, which is ordinarily great because you know the team is actively working to fix the game. However, they patch the game several times a day and the patches are 350 mb. So unless you’re constantly tethered to your WiFi, chances are you’re go to load up your game and can’t play because downloading patches that size multiple times a day will kill your data plan. To give you an idea: I downloaded a patch at midnight. Played for a bit. Woke up the next morning to play some more, and there’s an App Store update. I install that and load the app and there’s already another patch to download. I come back at 3pm to play some more and there was a 3rd patch. Came back at 10pm and yet another patch. If you only have 5-10 minutes during your day to play, chances are half your time would just be waiting for your patch to install. No matter how recently you patched it last. Otherwise it’s a great game in a genre that’s not over saturated on mobile devices. It’s not as enjoyable of an experience as it was on Facebook, and it takes many days due to the energy system to level up sometimes if the next stage is too hard at your current level. I like the game, I will continue to play the game, but these patches are going to drive me up a wall.
