F2P but VERY P2W and ANDROID BIASED! – Darkness Rises: Adventure RPG Review

I didn’t want to write this but since NEXON continues to issue android updates ahead of iOS updates I’m stuck locked out of game waiting unable to play the game while the android users get ahead. Enjoy. I started this game when it first came out. You make a lot of progress out the gate. Beginner bundles in the store are “cheap”. Easy and justifies spending a few dollars here and there. However, as you get into that so called endgame, in order to max your CP and compete in the laughable and laggy PVP system or even finish the auto complete adventure PVE system you need to buy exorbitant amounts of the high tier expensive bundles to have a hope to get the gear you need to actually do it. It doesn’t end there as you need now to “refine” and “transcend” the gear to catch up to the whales who spend $$$thousands (not exaggerating) to do so. (Ive been F2P since for the last year so I know how both styles work in this game) The endgame resources are another thing. The bundles that you can buy are mostly RNG which have a chance to get you the resources you desperately need to get a chance to maybe get the piece of gear you want. For example, to get the S++ PVE10 gear you can morph another S++ piece using a special morph token which you need special stones as well as raid drops for each token. You need 10 tokens and 1.2 Million good to do a Morph. You have a 0.01% chance to get PVE10 gear on a morph. Bottom line. Sure it’s Free to Play. But you need to spend or be stupid lucky to actually compete at the highest level. And as an iOS user expect to now wait 6-8 hours more than the Android users, after every bi weekly update to be able to play again. (Insert NEXON template response here.)
