The definition of a cash grab. Grindy and addictive.
The combat is simple - you have no control over your units, except for using special abilities. No real-time battles with players either.
Armies take ages to build and even longer to upgrade and tweak. The good stuff costs premium currency, obtainable in small quantities in game. The way you get units and heroes is mostly random, so you cannot really plan your build 100%.
Applies every dirty trick to keep you glued to the screen and spending money: dailies, action points (food), shops and limited offers requiring premium currency. I think it also purposefully pairs you with players outside of your power bracket to make you feel weaker and buy the premium units.
The game itself is pretty and has some potential, especially if you like the army building aspect. However, unless you're willing to spend a lot of time - and money, possibly - stay away. People struggling with gaming additions might want to avoid this one.
