Self-licking ice cream cone

First off, I cant stand reviews that start with "I hate games with in-app purchases." Really? Do you expect people to spend countless weeks to produce a product out of their kindness of their hearts? No!

I give this game 5stars for the graphics, soundbytes and other visuals and dedication. With the exception of McCoy (any way to shut him up? Seriously!)

My problem with the game was that I quickly leveled up my team to max, but then got stuck on levels higher than my team. Ways to build a stronger team? You play for components. When your team is maxed you cant apply any more components. So I shelled out $20 or so (fair enough). The problem was that by paying you unlock ways to pay more (more paid-for shuttle missions to acquire more components). But you still are at an impasse because you cant apply those components to your already maxed team.

So how do you progress?

So you spend another $20. It offers you ways to spend real money even faster. But your team never progresses and youre still stuck on the same levels.

I am a savvy gamer, but I cant find ways to actually progress and then you just sit about waiting for chronitons to acquire components that you cant use and then you realize youre just spinning wheels and wasting time on a game that never pays off.

Also, the month card or whatever it is called has now actual benefits other than offering ways to access features that cost further money. So dont bother. The features often glitch/ dont work and all cost.

All in all, 2/5 for this let down.
