I have been playing these types of war games for years and what I can say is, this game is innovative and far ahead of the similar games in this genre. It is feature-rich compared to others, the events are more detailed, all of the leadership can do the same things, there aren't constant disconnects(Yet) and you progress faster, you can see it and it feels nice. Is it P2W, of course, but the packs get you way further in this game. The only downside is the other players. Very toxic community.

It's a waste of time. At first, the game was entertaining and seemed different than most other games. However, it changed into what many other games are...it turned into a Pay-to-Win or Pay-to-Play. In order to even have a chance at enjoying this game you have to start spending money not long after starting. Otherwise you will fall behind in power level and be relentlessly attacked by Whale Spenders. The community in-game is also pretty toxic making it a very unenjoyable experience.

this is a pay to win game. if you don't buy anything, then you just slowly progress. the big spenders will attack and burn you. then you have to start all over again, which takes weeks to get back to where you were. so beware. if you don't spend, you lose. after some issues with players wanting to be a big bad man, we had enough and left. I'll be deleting this and never play a pay to win game again. good luck.
