There are different modes in the game. The normal mode will seem very simple to gamers already used to shooting games. However, the gameplay quickly becomes difficult even in normal mode when the fight is not on land but on moving vehicles. For some challenge in land-based gameplay as well, you can switch to the difficult gameplay level.
The game is free to play and has in-app purchases. However, even if you don't buy anything, the reward system awards you hourly and daily rewards in addition to the cards you get when you complete a mission. So you never do feel stuck in this game just because you haven't paid for it.RPG: Eternium
