More Unbalanced the longer you play – Warriors of Waterdeep Review

It’s a fun game to start, but turns into an unbalanced mess when you get deeper into it. The tips communicate strategies that go straight down the toilet with the random teams it makes out of your roster. You can’t delete characters, so you either level everyone or end up with crap on your teams. Rallies and battles seem to be based on your player level and not teams, so if you haven’t paid to max your characters, you end up in very unbalanced battles (and occasionally ones where you can’t even land a blow). While you can essentially play forever without spending money, you definitely can’t keep your entire roster anywhere near your player level without gems/cash. You’ll find the battles harder and harder to win and it will become luck of the draw (getting a viable random team) and not skill or strategy. It had a lot of potential and I was even willing to pay the monthly fee, but even with that it became a mindless grind with minimal strategy. Brilliant strategy from Lucia. It definitely has the potential to hook people into spending a fortune and that makes business sense. But, it doesn’t make for a fun experience.
