First off i am no expert here just giving my thoughts.
This last point is a little selfish. I really dont like the level up system on units or the unlocking in general. I come from a lot of SC2/SC background and the worst thing is not being able to play the way you want or having units locked until you get a RNG loot box to actually use them. I would rather see everything unlocked with pre-determined dps/health/movement/etc. In regards to commander abilites they all seem to last to long imo. Maybe is just the way I play and am bad idk. This game has potential but if you keep the unit leveling and RNG unlocking it wont do well in the RTS community.
PS: how do you get a second harvester, is it off of commander level?
While I agree Vampy, unfortunately this is a mobile model...meaning unless they charge you a flat rate of payment to play the game monthly, or have you purchase the game entirely, pretty much it's going to rely on microtransactions to get updates etc etc. That being said, some of these commanders are god awful, Dr Liang for one...80 cost to get a drone up that heals your units except for the fact that it heals far less and far slower than just buying a turret and placing it as a blocker. At least even the turret also acts as a hexagon space so you can't just walk under it, unlike the drone. The commanders for sure need some tweaking.
-also one more thing to add. The way rating is calculated in this game is also quite deterring, you have no reason to play after a certain rating if you're looking for competition unless the commanders on your same level are searching. If there was like a campaign mode, that'd be great and I would definitely put some money into this side game.
It is far superior to purchase a game outright than be required to spend hundreds of dollars to compete with more wealthy players.
This has long been the reason why mobile gaming is garbage. And even all of our old favorite game developers are jumping into it. It's not okay.
There needs to be a stop to it.
It’s definitely not a pay to win if you focus on just one faction, 6 units and 1 commander. I basically ignore my GDI and only use them to get bounties.
All free credits and diamonds are used on only 6 NOD units and Seth. They are all at level 12’s except for 2 of the 6 which are at level 11’s.
It only took me 4 months to level them up to 12’s using the free diamonds for cloning chambers and whatever free crates I was given or won in events.
If you are the type of person that likes to experiment with different units, then you have to pay.
