It's a really fun game, and it pushes you to get better. Severe prob with the arena. They have tried to fix it but won't really listen to hear the problem. I Was in bronze for 8 months after I slipped from gold 2. Due to a month or so from the game. I have 1 million power, and that's who I play in bronze, advanced players with the same power. So we are all equal. Most days 50/50 is the best anyone can do. So you don't move. Half the game is tied to arena..and only one silver for a win. I give

Love this game. The arena has come a long way from what it once was. The arena still needs work, but this is a great game. Fantastic art; progression takes a lot of time, but that is part of the challenge. I have admittedly spent some money on this game, but you don't really need to because of all the challenges and quests that provide a chance to progress more. The arena fix is getting much better. The speed based Champs that are free with daily logins are life savers once progressed.

I've been playing almost 2 years and am getting close to quitting. While the game is graphically great and has some good customization depth, they clearly only want you to pay more and more in order to win. Every time you log in, 4 or more ads are shoved in your face and there is no way to disable them. The pricing scheme is absolutely criminally high as well. Their champion pull system is super sketchy. Like I said, I've been playing almost 2 years, have pulled close to 200 void shards and still haven't pulled a single void legendary champion. The time/money investment is unreasonable for terrible drop rates. I've even spent money and have pulled other regular legendary champions, some good ones, but the number of terrible legendary champs I've pulled and the number of duplicates I've pulled when I'm still missing 90% of them is completely unacceptable. When I'm missing the majority of champs, and the drop rates are that low, I shouldn't be pulling duplicates. Completely unacceptable. The game has a ton of potential, but it's pretty clear they only care about their bottom line and don't care about the players. Their "enhancements' are only ways to alter the system to have players spend more money. More diluted pools, more resources required, never adequately addressing the actual issues in game, and no in game mechanisms to accomplish the same thing. Unless you plan on spending large amounts of actual money, I can't recommend this game.

The bombardment of shop pop-ups is ridiculous when you fist start the game it's unplayable for the first 5 minutes because of this. If you try to click on something and manage to skip one the game locks up and must be restarted only for the pop-ups to repopulate. Maybe if the game didn't have this feature or maybe one or two pop-ups it would be tolerable. The gameplay is boring and unchallenging and items are just a cash grab. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone honestly.

I'm reading a lot of reviews about limitations. One person stated after 90 days he still couldn't win arena battles. I'm only a week in and I've won several. I have not spent anything at all, If I play long enough, I probably will spend a bit. My only complaint so far is that My Quests. Challenges. etc, have ALL stopped working. I've finished a few of them repeatedly with no reward. As this is a big source of resources. I may end up leaving the game. I expect some grinding to play free.

Looks pretty but is a total pay to win game, or is a insane grind fest. It's worse by the fact you *can* buy gems to open to get new toons but it is totally random and the chance of getting characters you want let alone good characters is basically minimal. It's not worth the time, there are much better games out there similar to this. Also, there is no real plot, and a game where it basically plays itself, isn't a game.

Not a bad turn based RPG game; there are lots of interesting details. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there are an extraordinary amount of in game ads where the developers are looking to nickel and dime their player at every opportunity. This seems to be another game where skill means nothing, and the almighty dollar can buy success.

I just cant get into the game. There is too much of a pay wall if you want to do anything. You cant do some things usless you have units of a specific faction. A ton of the units feel very unimpactful and unimpressive. I have spent more money on this game then I would like and only gotten one decent unit. The game looks good on the outside but it feels very hollow.

The arena is now seriously broken. I was always at gold 4, sometimes Platinum - now I can't hold silver 3. This has caused half of my clan to stop playing - the rest have just stopped spending money on the game. I know Plarium is going to come back with a response like I need "better defensive strategies". Well, my response is you can do what you like with the game to make it the way you want. I think it sucks and that's my right. After 18 months, it's time to stop playing. Goodbye.

If you haven't downloaded this 3 months ago you will never catch up. Minimum monthly spending will be in excess of $1,500 usd. Everything is random. You have a LOW percentage chance of getting gear you can use. Palarium's answer to any criticism is - get good, or spend money. They don't care about the player base. You will notice periodic advertising pushes to get new players. The only thing positive about this game is it has good graphics for a mobile game. Money over players.

Long-opinion: This game has great potential, and has proven that over the years I had it (3yr); But, this game is potentially worse than 'EA' sometimes when it comes down to when this game is like "I want your money" through in app purchases. Extremely egregious and upright ridiculous with A LOT of these bundles / items that is offered to buy. Short-opinion: Don't play if you like having money.

The game looks okay, can be fun, but oh my god this game has the absolute worst, most predatory pay to win mechanics I've ever seen. You are constantly bombarded with "Hurry up, limited time!" FOMO deals or ads that are straight up purposefully misleading... and please do not believe anyone, *especially* the company when they say you can get everything in the game for free. They are 100% misleading you again because, yes, with a few LIFETIMES to spare you could technically get everything...

This was once a favorite game of mine, now with everything they make you do to stay relevant it feels like a job. Don't make people watch pointless run after run, it should be enjoyable. You might actually be able to get 500k likes on Facebook if you do. Try improving on your system, I have a family and have quit Raid to play a game which doesn't take hours and hours to play. Learn from games like Marvel strike force, you'll find it'll be more profitable.

The game is pretty fun, but the pvp element is broken. Someone with 45000 power can destroy someone with 115000 power in the matter of seconds. As for the reply, I always make sure the gear on my teams are fitting for what they need. It's definitely 1 star because of how massively pay to win it is. I've recently made a few free to play accounts, and within a day or so there are some quests you won't be able to get past for months...by all means, try to get to Silver 1 in the arena f2p.

I quit Raid a while ago and many others continue to do so. At the end of the day Plarium is a business and runs the game like one. The problem with that is this is a game and while I spend and do so more than the average player it isn't worth it. Plarium has the absolute least amount of knowledge when it comes to its playerbase than any game I've ever played. They are 100% revenue driven and always have been. They also continue to do "updates" that add very little to the game.

It's ok, I guess. The thing about any mobile game I've ever tried(u0026 I've tried lots), is that they all offer F2P, but they only do that to get people in the door. Then they get irritated when u don't actually spend anything. There is really no oversight, so every single mobile game is a hugely cheated, cash grabbing, pay to win whether they admit it or not. All mobile game devs r liars, cheaters, u0026 thieves. Plain u0026 simple. For them, dishonesty mega pays.

Well, really good graphics. But I played daily for 2.5 months and pretty much got nowhere. You can win characters everyday via random draws through shards, but I never got anything beyond middling toons. For instance, I just logged in for the first time in 2 weeks and used 3 of the 2nd highest shards and got the lowest possible option each time. I guess I could play for another 2.5 months praying for a Legendary, but I don't have it in me to add additional disappointment to my life.

Fun game. Several segments of the game are effectively blocked for free-to-play players. Expect to spend to advance. Plarium slow to fix broken features like early arena. Recent changes are too little and far too late. The gap between new players and veterans is massive in development of great hall which provides permanent stat boosts to veteran players. Developing great hall when stuck in bronze is insanity, and this will permanently hold back players that came into the game in 2021.

Been playing the game for two- years. Spent a few dollars ($50+ a month) and they have consistently gotten worse over that time. Pop-ups galore taking so much time to even get into the game. A pity system that is not visible and when the players made it visible the company shuts it down. This company is not player friendly and only views its players as cash cows to be milked daily. Stay away, coming from a 2 year old player at the end game. Do not bother with this game.

I have been playing for about a year now. I have been getting more and more frustrated. This really could be an amazing game, but the arena is awful. And the events are impossible. Everything in the game depends on being good in the arena, but now they match you against players that have over 100k more power than you do. I was up in Gold IV, now I am down in Silver IV. The funny thing is, silver is harder than gold. The game takes hours to play every day. And events are impossible to win.

Loved the game at first, and even spent a bit of money to keep up w/ the Jones' but their lack of support lost me as a customer/player. The referral system has been broken for years and rather than help anybody or actually attempting to fix it, they blame the user base for doing it wrong. Any need for support is unmet. They do a great job here and on Amazon replying to everybody to make it look like they're responsive but it's all a sham. Tried discord, support e-mail, and forum and not even a response, much less success and resolving issues. Take your money elsewhere. Note: As expected, they commented on this w/ the same tired and overplayed copy/paste suggestion. Every ticket I submitted has clearly shown these 3 things to not be the case and yet... here we are. They don't even try to read support tickets. Run from this game as fast as you can.

Fun! Though energy is slow which makes you have to wait for build up or purchase more. Then everything else is purchase. Expensive!! Then the time it takes to get legendary Champs. Then u can just purchase to help u get the shards for the legendary. If u want to play just to play purchase energy string when u start playing. Research the Champs u want. When they are offered. Use all crystals for them. Other wise spend spend spend. Expensive!!!

I've put so much time and effort into this game and I still enjoy it. The only problem I have is the arena (which used to be my favourite part of the game) you either get paired with people that are too strong or people that's team power number is lower than yours but they still win. I have a screen shot where my team power number is 24,000 and my opponent had 20,000. All four of my fighters are ascended twice and they had one fighter that had only been ascended once and I still lost.

DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS APP!!! Just lost a ton of silver while upgrading equipment! Tried to submit a trouble ticket, that's broken, too. Have spent a large amount of money on this game over the last four months. Still SO many money-grubbing popups every few hours when I log in. Was happy to give them money, but hate the ongoing popups. Now, apparently the game is broken and costing me real life cash. Hopefully will see a refund of latest bug issues, otherwise would like a full refund.

Honestly one of the worst mobile game experiences I've had, its entirely pay to win and if you don't give them all your money YOU DO NOT MAKE PROGRESS! Honestly games like these are the worst because there are so many ads behind it and yet its nothing like they describe and its very clear based on how the game plays and all that, that the DEVS don't give a damn about the game and only want more money; your money. Screw these guys and this game

Used to be a great game. Now it's just a Plarium greed fest. I paid for my Raid Pass, was charged for it and never received. Worked with support for hours and they were useless. I still play, but I refuse to spend anymore money (and I spent easily 1000+) and I advise against spending to any new players. The game is better without paying. Update: No thanks, Plarium. Been there, done that, waste of time. I have zero interest in spending more money on your game even if you fixed my previous issue.

Every week, they make changes to make the game harder and harder for people not willing to spend $1000s on the game. Example: They literally just posted a change to the new clan versus clan tournaments to make it impossible for low spenders to achieve the rewards. Why, they claimed it was because the way we earned points was too tedious. Which is an outright lie, because it now will take an hour and valuable resources to earn the same number of points that I was earning before in 1 min. 1 star

It's kinda fun, but there are too many bought and paid for super powerful characters. He who spends a lot, wins a lot. There is also zero exploration or chapter dev. The thin plot for the initial pass through is quickly left behind. I felt like I was playing mafia wars with magic after about two days. Called it quits after hitting an invincible character in the arena. Nope, not for me *response to dev response* Yes you can build characters for free, but the strongest characters are IMPOSSIBLE to get without spending money. You gain shards to build the strongest characters by participating in tournaments, but to get the last few shards to complete one of these champions appears to require finishing in the top two in one or more of these tournaments. To do that, you have to beat someone that is willing to spend any amount of money to win those shards. I've finished top ten in several tournaments, worked my tail off to gain every energy bonus (missions, quests, challenges), and the people that win clearly expended many times the energy I did in order to win. I'm not even close, they had around 2.5 times my score. That doesn't even seem possible without spending money. You have to spend money to be competitive, it's that simple. Even in game activities are expensive with your game winnings. You have to spend in game coins to even change armor to armor you've already won. Basically, if champions were b
