The review bomb is unwarranted. The game has cost $30 since its release on their own platform. I can understand the frustration of expecting a game to be totally free to play when they use that term, but to review bomb a game because you can't access every single feature, because you don't want to make a one time purchase is absurd. There is no battle pass system or anything of the like to monetize the game. Plain and simple you pay up front and you get the game and all the future content to be added. I don't understand what there is to be upset about.

People are saying its pay to win. That's false. You are limited to the "Normal" game mode which is limited in gear and makes it the most even playing field in the entire game. You can get out geared in "Highroller" matches, but not in "Normals".

I have 500 hours on their launcher and that is well worth the one time $30 payment for me. The F2P version is a good option for those who want to try out the game and see what the gameplay loop is like, or for casual players who just want to dungeon crawl and fight some other players.

My advice: Try out the game. If you don't like it, then that's totally fair, but writing a review because you feel entitled to a completely free game by a smaller studio is whack. The gaming industry has had all expectations changed by corporations like EA and Blizzard making their triple A titles free to play. Don't put these expectations on every studio, especially when that exact marketing tactic is exploited to make games MORE pay to win and cost the consumer MORE money to access all the content down the line.

MAKE ONE TIME PAYMENTS THE STANDARD AGAIN. I can't believe people are genuinely complaining about this.
