The first game was really easy to understand and that's why it was so popular. This game has countless things going on. So many different currencies and items. It also now focuses towards each player using multiple Hero's instead of everyone just choosing a different one and focusing on that. I feel like all these things are designed around monitization. The 4 hero's is 4 times the cash you would need to spend. It's a FTP (Free to play) game but it isn't free to enjoy. I don't mind dropping a few quid on a free game. But if you wanna enjoy the game at an average pace you would need to drop more money then what small tower defence game is worth in my opinion.
It's sad because this game could have so much more potential. The core gameplay mechanics are fun. I love tower defence games and I loved Dungeon Defenders 1. This game just isn't it for me. On mobile I could see myself playing it at work on break. But if I'm on my games console then why am I gonna play this? If they make another one then I hope they streamline all the over complicated stuff. Make the battle pass good enough to enjoy the game and then have anything else as extra. Maybe the series could actually make a comeback if that happens.
