Good game. Progression is REALLY slow. My only complaint is the implementation of the stamina bar. Once I got to one battle using so much stamina that I couldn't do a second thing I was done. Fun overall though.

I appreciate that KS gave us a paid version and tried to balance it accordingly. It still feels too much like a freemium game for my taste. Like most of their free titles, there's no endgame, no ability to fast forward, a focus on collecting, and a lot of waiting and watching your team do things with no input from you. I REALLY wish you could switch back to a job you've already mastered without having to pay knowledge costs. (It gets 1 automatic extra star for me for not being a freemium title.)

Kariosoft is excellent at designing games with a pay-to-play price tag. This game, unfortunately, seems to be based on a failed attempt at a microtransaction-integrated game that was later patched to use solely in-game currency. The timers for using gold to buy medals are ridiculously long (15+ hours). Medals are used for most things in the game but are a pain to get. I'm quite dissatisfied with this entry from Kariosoft. They can and have done much better. This game does have a lot of content.

I want to give this a better score... but the medal system is downright atrocious. It is clearly a game that was supposed to be FTP. You need medals for everything, and they are extremely rare, almost like they were meant to be purchased..... In late game some recruits take over 10 medals!!! Can you farm them? No, not really. That combined with stamina costs, lead me to believe that this is just a failed microtransaction game they are now charging money for with no balancing.
