What real reviews say
★★ Critical hits happen way too often Critical hits should be a miraculous rare event but instead it’s cheapened by how often they land. You try to set a good strategy and bam, that 12.5% chance of a critical lands. In my opinion, this is often and it’s frustrating and makes the game way too unpredictable to be a strategy game and more
★★★ Good game, but many issues I really like this game, but is had very many issues. For example, in a recent battle, I clicked a move, then waited for like 5 minutes (with no UI, proving that I had clicked a move) before being told: “The server did not receive your input, so a move was chosen for you.” Also, the cancel matchmaki
★★★★★ About time I just realized this was out on mobile and it’s almost exactly what I’ve wanted for years
