one of the worst games i've ever been addicted to

You kill them, you're better. They kill you, they're trash at the game.

tldr: Some appreciation for the game. Major appreciation for the game's future.
Tower Unite is the game in my library that I get excited for the future of, and I've spent more time looking at weekly dev logs and their trello then actually playing the game. The stuff Pixeltail is making is magnificent. But at the game's current state, there's not much to do other than working on your condo, talking to others in the plaza or in the condos, or playing gameworlds. But I'm recommending this game because this has the most potential out of any other game concept I've ever seen, and I trust Pixeltail can deliver on their promises. This isn't some random group of devs we're talking about either, they have experience in this sort of game. Buy the game if you want to support them, and see the game grow over time. If you like the concept but aren't sold on the game ATM (October of 2018), hold off for now.

(November of 2018) I forgot to mention, you should really play this game with a friend, and if you don't have one of those, it's not hard to make one in-game.

Summary: Game was bought and new devs work on it now, which actually listen to the community, and they're trying to slowly unbreak the game. Gameplay is fun with tons of weapons to choose from, (although some weapons are more easily abused than others) and there is a perk system for cars, characters and weapons, resulting in in-depth and unique arsenals to play with. Character and vehicle customization is the most in-depth on steam, period. Many different clothing options and cosmetics to choose from, all of which is full customizable, from any color you want, to any design you can create. (This doesn't come with without its fair share of grind). The game is still riddled with hackers and exploiters, but it's not nearly as bad a people say. People also say it's pay2win, which isn't true, as the best guns and vehicles can be acquired, without needing real money.

Social: The game is quite social, as it should be for being an MMO, but this also makes a lot of sense because the social district, (the district where any crim, and any enforcer can simply hangout and talk) is not only used for socializing, but used for many of the core features which include: Customizing vehicles, creating custom emblems, customizing clothing, editing your character, make your own song that plays when you kill someone, buying Joker items, buying other people's items, trading, and probably some other stuff that I failed to gloss over. This social district is a place where players are not killing eachother like in the other districts. The social aspect of the game is the aspect of the game which I have almost no complaints about, other than the community being quite toxic.
SOCIAL - 8/10

Gameplay & Balancing: Into the actual game, we have a lot more problems. The gameplay itself is solid and due to the open-world's interesting environments, you can have some very intense engagements. Now there are 3 ways to can get into the "killing other players" aspect of things; Open Conflict - Both open-worlds where any crim can shoot any enforcer and reverse, it's the most sandbox the game can get, although no one really plays it so ;l. You have the mission districts, which are the same 2 open-worlds, excepts to fight against the other faction, you have to engage in a mission, which requires you to either queue into a mission while goofing off in the map, or getting cought doing a crime (crim) or catching a crim commit a crime (enforcer). Out of all districts most people play these, due to the fact that you can level up your contacts, get money easier, and have a clear objective and goal, while working with other people. The last type of PvP district are the fight clubs, two to be exact. Fight club is basically a classic deathmatch, enforcer v criminal. It's definetly more Battlefield than COD however, with all the vehicles and relatively larger size of the maps. Of course the killing isn't fun if the killing isn't fair, so how is the balancing? Simply, not very good. You have a clear difference in terms of equipment and skill. Guns and cars (more-so cars) have clear upgrades from a base weapons, that is more of a grind, and can possibly also be bought. The problem is that the gameplay should be about the amount of skill a player has, not the amount of time or money a player has put on the game. But besides that some weapons, (upgrades or not) are just blatantly easier and more abusable than others. While a sniper is really-REALLY hard to use, a rocket launcher is really easy to use, and arguably more affective too. Cars just have blatant upgrades from one-another, you start off will a dumpster or something and you have to grind your ass off to get something good for you and your team. And to add on to that gap, people of higher skill groups join server of lower skill groups, due to the lack of players and amount of exploiters and hackers in higher servers. In conclusion...
GAMEPLAY AND BALANCING - 5.5/10

Grind & Rewards: Games like these usually have a bad grind, lets see if APB can prove me wrong. There are multiple ways to get what you want in APB, for example, if you want a really nice car, you can either pledge your services to a contact in one of the districts, and level your rep with them until you have a high enough level with that contact to unlock the ability to buy the car. Or, you could choose to go to the social district, and either trade, auction, or purchase another player's car, which will potentially be more expensive, (still less of a grind) and not customizable. This applies to most things in APB, get it from a contact, or buy it from another player. This is where Joker products come in. Joker Distributions is a store found in the Social District, which is where you can buy all their guns, vehicles, cosmetics, and perks, all with Joker Tickets. These items are usually better than the regular ones that come with the contacts, and they usually are the ones selling a brand new weapons, or some really fancy kit for a car you want to pimp out. "So how do I get joker tickets?" You may be asking, well this is when gameplay comes back in. The best way (in my opinion) is to go into fight club and do as many challenges as you feel like doing, as you can get almost enough for a pistol if you do 14, this ofcourse means you have to be good and equipped, as it's fight club, and there's a saying. "If you play fight club, you will lose your left sock," - mstche 2018. The other and more easy way is when you fully level up a contact, they start providing daily challenges for you. These are usually extremely easy so there's no point in not doing them, of course you only get 5-10 JT every challenge completed. But since there are 21 contacts max you can fully level for each faction, you can get quite a bit, if you're willing to spend a lot of time that day. Overall it seems pretty fair, and since the items here are better than the ones you pay for with real cash, that's an extra OK from me. Overall...
GRIND & REWARDS - 6.8/10

So do I recommend this game? Well first try it out, I recommend with a buddy, it's not a big download. But if my review is so important, I do, if you can get over the garbage balancing, unfair matchmaking, and considerable grind. Happy playing, hopefully.
