I love MV but I've gotten 100x the enjoyment from Boom Beach which was released around the same time and on which I've spent a grand total of $5 which could easily have been zero.
The conventional wisdom around much of the internet about f2p is, while true for many titles, just incredibly myopic as a general pigeonhole. F2P games can be great. Clash Royale, on which I've spent nothing, is by far the best new mobile game I've played in over a year.
- voltagex_ 10y agoHow pushy is it in regards to buying consumables? I don't mind F2P with a $2-$5 "no ads" unlock or similar. (I'll get unreasonably angry if I see a single ad after that, though)
- Splines 10y agoAFAIK it doesn't have ads, you pay for in-game currency to spend on cards which can also be won in-game. It's entirely possible to play the game without spending any money, although grinding may or may not be fun. I played a bit when it launched and stopped after a week or two.
- moomin 10y agoI've played it for months, haven't spent a penny. The only thing you really get from spending money is tougher opponents anyway.
- forgetsusername 10y agoI love that you've received downvotes for expressing an opinion. I've also enjoyed playing Clash Royale, and have nothing against F2P as a model, generally.
