Not enough progression rewards to move forward at a certain point. Money has to be spent in order to get to end game. Legendary champs are rare even in their highest champ crystal and you need them to get anywhere. Of course you can grind for months and months lol. By far one the greediest of all mobile games. If you at least want some small gratification from investing a large part of your free time, play Marvel Contest of Champions. It's not a dead end if you don't pay the ransom!
Reviews for RAID: Shadow Legends
I downloaded this game for the first time because I'm a huge TMNT fan, I don't know or care about 'Ninja' or Rousey. Little did I know that this game is a HUGE money grab. I can get 10x draws in other games for the price that a single draw is charged for this game. The battle system is annoying, character development is overly complicated, and an in-game purchase ad pops up each time you go back to the main screen. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because the main story seemed interesting.
This game takes a long while to learn. it will help to do research before playing it, and continue to while playing. You can trap yourself in many money pits, pointless investments. you have to strategize every action you take in and out of battle. Take advantage of the new player codes they are ESSENTIAL to the speed of growth your account will have. This game has a lot of opportunities that you must take advantage of to get anywhere. Im glad they removed the cost of unequipping, that was bs.
Biggest cash grab on the market. Every action in the game takes resources, all of which are in short supply. I'm talking right down to equipping gear: if you want to remove it, that'll cost in game coin, which runs out quickly. But you're reminded you can purchase more! Over and over and over in the form of popups, which are needlessly annoying. Leveling, ranking up, increasing skills take forever unless you want to spend $40-99 a pop. A shame bc this game is actually fun. Not F2P friendly.
This game is overly complicated. You pull a good hero, and now you have to upgrade level, rank, and skills. Then, you need to ascend the hero. Then, you need to get the soul stones. Let's not forget the weapons, shield, boots, etc. And you can upgrade and ascend those as well. I am at the point where I either spend money or spend 1000's of hours on this game just to get the resources.
This game has a lot of potential with its great graphics, character selection, and gear sets. However, the arena matchmaking needs work. New players constantly face full teams of legendary champions in the lowest rank, which makes it hard to stay consistent. It might be better if the game had servers, so you're not facing players who have been playing for years.
Game is really fun with lots of content, but the sheer amount of unavoidable pop-ups for "micro" transactions kind of kills it. You just get bombarded every time you go to home. I put micro in quotes because there's nothing micro about the amounts they charge for such little content in return. I don't mind there being pay-to-win options available, but please stop blasting us with them non-stop. It's one of the main reasons I don't buy any of them. I will not support this kind of gaming culture
I've been playing video games since pong in the 1970s. The upgrade system for aritifacts/accesories is the dumbest system i have ever seen! It is a complete waste of time. It takes at least 10 minutes to upgrade an artifact to level 16. Just give me a cost and let me move on!!!!! I like the game but things like this are so annoying I am considering quitting.
It is a great RPG with a lot of customization. Graphics are good. I feel like I can progress fine without spending a fortune. The game has literally no ads. It takes a while to learn so it is not for the casual gamer. But I progress fine even withouy knowing exactly what I am doing :) But please devs.. reduce the amount of offer popups.. they are ridiculously expensive and it is very annoying and makes it look like pay to win which I don't think it is. If we want to spend we go to the store.
Pay to win. It is a gambling game that teases good rewards, but the chance of getting them is crazy limited. I've been playing this game for years and I only have five legendary champions, of which I think 2 were obtained from shards. The others were from giveaway tasks. It's sickening and disheartening to open 40 blue shards and only get 1 or 2 epic champions. Even the higher tier shards will not do anything. Don't play. Don't waste your time.
