“I like it. Competitive game. If you a new player stay at tier 5-7 and learn the basics. The game changes a bit after tier 8 and your skill need to be above avarage if you don't want to lose ingame credits per match. The…”

“The game takes a MASSIVE ammount of time to learn and actually start knowing wtf you're doing. but once you do its very addictive and fun. its much slower paced than other strategy/position competitive games and the playerbase is largely adults, but the game itself is fantastic.”
