Recent Dark Pattern Reviews

Grinding reported on Sep 11, 2022
Game gives multiple quests per day (some locked behind a paywall) in order to progress in the battle pass. The battle pass itself is also atrocious as the best possible reward the free path gives might be around 5k gold, while you would need 30k to level a fighter to the next important level. All cosmetics and advertised rewards are locked behind the paid path.
Infinite Treadmill reported on Sep 11, 2022
There have been 2 new fighters, that are 'obtainable from chests' but the currency requirement for them are too much, and it is also a small cahnce to get 1 shard if the fighter, while unlocking it requires 30 shards.
Pay to Win reported on Sep 11, 2022
In order to level up a fighter, you need to spend 30k gold. You get a total of 12 gold per fight, 50 gold per common chest and 1k gold per rare chest. You can also buy gold for real money.
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Sep 11, 2022
Everything is a lootbox, and they will intentionally give you vad ones to keep you spending.
Power Creep reported on Sep 11, 2022
Every previous fighter is unable to defeat a max level new fighters, as they have too many mechanics.
Complete the Collection reported on Sep 11, 2022
You are urged to play the game and spend money, as that is the only way you can enjoy playing their new fighters.
Fear of Missing Out reported on Sep 11, 2022
The game has occasional events with minor free gifts which can save over 100 hours of grinding. It about half the reviewers paycheck.
Competition reported on Sep 11, 2022
The game is a PvP fighting game with atrocious frame data with 90% moves being plus due to the immense stagger one gets for blocking an attack.
