Gears POP!

I like the game, I think it’s a cool little twist on tower defense games. A few ideas that I’ve had would be like adding a few more ultimates, like why not make the Brumak, Berserker, or Reaver Ultimate pins. And also why not add some lambent cards as well, I mean I know they’re pretty much the same as Locust but they can have different abilities and a new look to some characters. Also why not add character customizations that let you make your character a locust, I feel like that would be pretty cool. Overall it’s a nice game and I enjoy it, just a few ideas I had. Also would like to see horde mode expand, like instead of only being able to play with your crew/clan why not make it playable with randoms too, sometime your crew/clan members aren’t on and you can’t play it. If you could also add a activity log to see your previous match results that would be nice, as well as a friends list and a way to invite people to your crew/clan. And if a friends list is made a friendly versus mode would be nice too. If you could also add a way to browse crews/clans instead of only being able to search that would help too.

The game is a very fresh take on clash royale with cute figurines and an interesting cover system. Some of the figurines (aka pins) have unique abilities that can be a real game changer. There are limited pin slots in your deck for each match and you really have to choose wisely. I’ve had match ups where I was one grenade away from a win and realized I swapped the grenade out for a sniper to have a more defensive option. You never know how a match will play out and it can produce some exciting moments. With that said My biggest gripes with the game is the loot box system they integrated. There are only four slots and the quickest they will open is in two and a half hours. You can spend gems to open them more quickly, but the gems are an expensive commodity. There is really no incentive to play after you’ve filled up the four loot crate slots besides the five game streak bonus loot crate you get every couple hours. My biggest issue is the horde co-op system that is in the game. The mode is great fun... assuming you can actually get a game going. It’s retarded that you have to be in a clan of only fifty people. Because chances are those fifty people are not on at the same time as you are. Especially because your only on the app for about twenty to thirty minutes at a time. Why not allow random match making? I’m not sure why they implemented this for coop. If it weren’t for this reason I’d have given it another star.

As usual any free to play game is pay to win. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. Some differences from other popular games that are similar are that the game doesn’t push as much for you to pay for time speed ups. The game gives you a good amount of free gems and coins to push you through the levels but of course you can also pay to expedite the process. There are broken cards that just ruin the experience that of course are the hardest to obtain for a free to play player because you have to be lucky to get them. But like always you can pay to get them. If you feel comfortable paying anywhere from $20-$100 for a loot chest then have at it. Keep in mind cards are nerfed and the game is rebalanced from time to time. So that card you spent $20-$100 for is not as good anymore and now you will spend another $20-$100 for the next best cards, because as you know new cards get introduced from time to time. It’s a never ending cycle that can have you spend ridiculous amounts of money for a mobile game that never ends. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED....On the positive side it’s a fun distraction game you can just pick up and play with others as there are guilds/clans you can join. 3 out of 5 because it can be fun but frustrating at times because of broken cards and matchups that can be very unbalanced.

So for starters i hate pay to win games and im saying this because it seems to me like a lot of people are calling this pay to win just because it has micro transactions. Let me just say that this is incorrect and a say that a pins level means nothing when it is countered properly. So there is no real way for anyone to pay to one that saves them from being beaten by a good strategy. Aside from that i wanna say that i love the simplicity of the tower defense aspect of this game and have always enjoyed games that involve characters from some of my favorite franchises and this is no exception. One thing i would love to see however is some more character customization for your in game avatar (the one behind cover in the back) because right now all i can do is change between a male and female body with a few hair choices and different colored shirts and bandana. Personally i think it would be an awesome addition to have winnable customization options for leveling up each season or reaching certain league placements. I will keep my hopes up that one day i can dress my character up as an Onyx Guard member.

I have played these types of games for a while now, I’ve played clash royal for about 3years now. This game has so many things wrong with it atm. There are cards in this game that make it very difficult to make any type of original deck. If you do not play these cards you will ultimately lose more of them than not. The locusts drone team needs a range nurf. Cards like Marcus which cost more to use are instantly killed. Even the single drone kills Marcus, and he is epic and cost more to use. Also this game just introduced RAAM and he is far too powerful. He may cost all of your elixir to use but he does a board wiping attack when used. That mechanic has literally made this game not that great. I’ve made decks that do well in certain situations but when I play him my entire force dies as he is played... if you are a creator of this game and are reading this you can simply fix this issue is with a radius of krill to surround him as he is spawned in. The krill shouldn’t be able to kill the entire field and do tower damage. I literally lost due to the krill and no other unit hit my towers. People will pay to buy him and it isn’t very a free to play friendly game.
