Non Empathetic Developers – OVERHIT Review

I, like many people who saw this game at first was immediately interested in playing. The graphics are rather stunning for a mobile game. Sadly this is where the good stops. After reading the plethora of reviews and developer responses I have come to one conclusion: Nexon simply appears to not care what we as a consumer/player have to say. I’ve read countless reviews on this game as I originally had issues even downloading this game and ultimately found that each and every single “developer response” lacked empathy and a more personal response. Every single message is canned and in my eyes a way to show the company is responsive, but actually lacks the ability to follow through with anything that the players actually have legitimate concerns on. I have played many Nexon games and all of them feel pay to win which is unethical and unfair to many who just want to play a game as game. Now don’t get me wrong, I understand that responding individually to each review can be tedious, but let me tell you something, I work for a multi billion dollar tech giant and my management take the time to call people about poor experiences they’ve had in our store to ask more as to why and try to make it better and this happens every, single, day. That’s all I’ll say on that subject. I think what is most disgusting is the overwhelming amount of people who said the Korean and Japanese versions of the game are very different from the global versions stating it’s very dumbed down and even easier to get SR and SSR rated characters, this indicates an extremely heavy bias towards a specific player base which I consider dirty marketing tactics, let alone just wrong and slightly racist. Whether or not that is true I leave up to you all to decide. Nexon has this nasty habit of releasing games that are very much geared towards paying to win which really ruins the experience of playing a game. It is my sincere hope that the developers, of their PR in charge of feedback and reviews reads this and learns from this, sadly... like every single review on here I will likely receive a generic canned response and be just another person who they push aside in an attempt to say “we care what you have to say so here’s a response to show we care” causality. By all means play the game, it is fun to look at and the bones of something incredible, but sadly unless the developers actually add more, that’s all this game will ever be, pretty on the outside, dull, boring and empty on the inside.
