Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy! – MARVEL Strike Force: Squad RPG Review

Simply put, Scopely could care less about it’s player base. They have actively begun to do the opposite of what they’ve done in the past or they change their own advertised schedule to screw over players that began to farm based on what Scopely told them. Scopely creates a “panic farm” or cash spending atmosphere by changing events at the last minute, contradicting what they published to players the week prior. They mislead it’s community of players with misrepresented character strengths and unevenly powered matchups. It’s all to make you think a team can counter the “meta” squad, when in actuality, they can’t. Players expected an event at Christmas, since it had happened for 2 years previously. So scopely just completely canceled the event and didn’t tell anyone. People farmed for something Scopely knew they wouldn’t have. Yes, this game is free to play, but not free to compete. And if you do try to be competitive as a free player, know that when the free community begins to catch up to the “whales” that spend tons of $$$ to stay at the top, Scopely introduces a new tier level, or player level, or equipment to gear up, that will allow it’s top players to pull away again. In 2 months Scopely has ruined this game for me by their cash grab tactics and dishonesty. They did the exact same thing in their Walking Dead game, and that was a few years ago. Build something enjoyable, gain people’s interest and build a community. Then change everything to a cash gran / panic atmosphere when people feel they’ve committed too much time and built too many relationships to leave.
