★★☆☆☆

pretty much impossible to play this if you're not lucky. there have been multiple times that I tried to play a match and it only gave me options that were unable to deal damage which was an automatic forced loss. including five multiplayer matches in a row that I lost ranking because it only gave me options that were weak or unable to damage the other players team. and considering that was my first attempt at raid, that is pretty messed up and I am uninstalling.

Great in the beginning, but cards are too hard to get and the random merging makes it hard to have the cards you need. The down grading of weapons, you've worked hard to get, is disappointing. I play this game daily, but I have to drop my rating to 1 until game play and card mechanics are improved. A mechanic that needs to be added is a way to disassemble cards. That way when they NERF weapons, you can try for other ones.

Honestly kinda entertaining, but fell off quick. It ramps the same enemies to be chunky and requires high lvl towers to even compete. If you didn't RANDOMLY get lvl4 or lvl5 tower that helps because an enemy can just evade you with flying. Well you're boned. The random aspect is really tiring and a waste of effort. Why do you have to take multiple towers that you will not drop in the field. If you trash that set of 3 to just RANDOMLY get the same 3 you just trashed.

This game is a fun concept, but at this point im convinced the Developers are trolling TF out of us with their updates. The fusion algorithm is complete trash and absolute ragebait. Plus, the "random" selection of weapons in Hoardes isnt random. You need 5 or more weapons in your deck of the targeted element to get slected. If you have 4 or less then the element you need to fight the hoarde will not be randomized. This game is designed to force you into paying a LOT of money to play it.
