Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Wait To Play reported on Feb 4, 2022
Not too bad - refill potions are plentiful
Competition reported on Feb 4, 2022
Ranking is the primary form of competition.
Fear of Missing Out reported on Feb 4, 2022
Limited items/units can often become critical in more challenging content or ranking.
Complete the Collection reported on Feb 4, 2022
The urge to collect all the units/items can be powerful.
Power Creep reported on Feb 4, 2022
The power creep curve is pretty steep if you want to be a top player. It isn't so bad if you just want to complete the challenging content but don't care about ranking.
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Feb 4, 2022
This is a gacha game.
Playing by Appointment reported on Feb 4, 2022
If you want to be top in the arena or during raids, you have to play at least every 5 hours. Not a huge deal since the rewards for those aren't worth the hassle.
Artificial Scarcity reported on Feb 4, 2022
Limited time collaborations cause pretty harsh FOMO in this game. Especially combined with power creep.
Social Obligation / Guilds reported on Feb 4, 2022
Only applies to friend units - you feel compelled to share a good unit for other people to use.
Social Pyramid Scheme reported on Feb 4, 2022
Super minor benefit. Not a big deal in this game.
