Without paying real $ it’s mostly chance – LEGO® Tower Review

[update] Sadly, my daughter rebuilt her tower at level 50 and now she’s heart broken. She lost all her characters, all the custom items she’s been collecting for a month. We’re deleting the game now. [review] It’s costs real money to join the “tower club” and wow do you need it to progress. This game is basically random trial and error without it. Without tower club you can’t choose what business to build. This matters because the entire game is based on having the right workers for the right job and getting 3x bonuses when you match them. You get workers randomly. If you start getting a bunch of one type worker, you can’t build their specific business unless you have “tower club”. Which means you're stuck using them in the wrong place or deleting the business and trying another random build. Or keep evicting LEGO people until you get ones that like that job. I tried the free 5-day trial of “tower club” and the game was enjoyable. Suddenly I could build the businesses that my LEGO people got bonuses for. Could actually plan my tower, started making decent money and feeling like this is how it’s meant to be played. Worst of all, this payment method is subscription based. You can’t pay a one time price to unlock the the “tower club” because they want you to keep paying, over and over. The game itself was a lot of fun while the deal lasted.
