Recent Dark Pattern Reviews

Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on May 6, 2024
The rewards from rolls seem to be pre-determined. I only received a Unique soldier after about 15-20 rolls, when the chance getting something Unique or rarer is said to be about 20%(precisely 21.875%). The other way to get good units is by paying large sums of money(even 60$ for Legendary).
Illusion of Control reported on Mar 26, 2024
The "Multiplayer" mode is against computers, it is not an actual live competition.
