Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Daily Rewards reported on Jun 1, 2022
Daily resource generation and daily tasks for a monthly reward system that also has a premium version.
Grinding reported on Jun 1, 2022
A lot of grinding once you hit mid-game, because enemies quickly start overpowering you in numbers, forcing you to either keep grinding harder to upgrade or avoid them altogether. Also rewards can also be relatively iffy in comparison to how much work is put in.
Pay to Win reported on Jun 1, 2022
Premium currency can be used on just about everything to help max out your bots and gear.
Wait To Play reported on Jun 1, 2022
Mostly for daily/regular resource generation or for PVP.

Citizenship is optional but resets monthly.
Competition reported on Jun 1, 2022
Arena/PVP system, which is mostly optional, but some daily/regular tasks and arena-specific rewards are associated with it.
