Raid: shadow legends review12/5/2023 It’s $4.99 for the smallest purchase, which is 175 gems. The problem is, the shop is a bit overpriced in my opinion, and two or three packages splash across your screen every time you start the game up, with no option to “turn off for the rest of the day” like most games have. The packages themselves are a pretty decent value, especially compared with their comparable component prices in the shop. I also have some issues with exactly how often the game pushes you to buy one of its packages. Thankfully, RAID: Shadow Legends (RAID henceforth ) doesn’t quite fall under that category, but the RNG for obtaining the best troops in the game is pretty unforgiving. The games that I consider “pay-to-win” in the RPGacha world tend to be those that have a “special premium token” which is only purchasable with real money, that summons super ultra powerful sweet units that are otherwise unobtainable. That being said, most RPGacha also have ways of earning units for free. They’re pretty much universally free to play, and make their money similar to the Gachapon arcades of Japan (again, if you’re unfamiliar, refer to the Brown Dust review from a couple weeks ago.) The main idea being that people like to collect things, and will pay money to summon units in a loot box style fashion. RPGachas are games that usually fall under the “role playing game” category. It does have enough to put it just slightly above the curve, though, so let’s get into it. Unfortunately, RAID: Shadow Legends doesn’t have quite so much going for it. Now, Brown Dust wasn’t what I’d call a “standard” RPGacha, as it steps away from the formula in a lot of ways, giving it an element of originality that make it great. Chances are, even if you didn’t read it, you’ve played one or have seen one on the mobile platforms, as they’re quite prevalent. If you read my recent review of Brown Dust then hopefully you’ve got a decent idea of what RPGachas are.
