Waste of Potential / Money Grab – Battle Legion - Mass Battler Review

This app is a lot of fun. Unfortunately it is a thinly veiled money grab. Upgrades are funded by shards and gold. There’s a balance issue between these resources. Shards are collected by opening wagons, hitting trophy milestones, requesting, and agreeing to have ads jammed down your throat. Gold is collected by winning battles, donating troops, and a small collection on the main window. All of the gold collection methods give you a nominal amount of gold; so after just couple weeks of gameplay / advancement, you are stuck waiting long periods or spending money. (The downfall of most apps of this design, but why not make a good game for longevity?) If the gold reward for donating was larger, the game would incentivize community-building, encourage activity, and decrease player turnover. They could also just make the gold collection upgradable. This game has potential but, until they make money-spending a choice instead of a necessity, it is essentially just a boiled down version of Clash of Clans.
