Lots of potential, but . . . – Warriors of Waterdeep Review

Graphics and game concept are awesome; however, the heavy pay to play mechanics spoil it. You need gold to progress through the dungeons and to be competitive in the pvp part. Gold is essential to powering up characters. I don’t Ming grinding in a game, but reasonable playing doesn’t yield anywhere enough gold to advance the characters. Hence, you have to shell out cash to advance beyond a point. I don’t mind spending a little money on good games - the developers need to make a profit - but this business model is broken. The developers would do well to to emulate the pay to play model of Niantic’s Pokémon go or Wargamming.net’s world of Tanks/World of Warships line of games. It would be a shame to see such a great game go by the wayside because of an unbalanced pay to play mechanics.
