Overall it's a really fun game. You dont really need to pay for anything and you can still do well as it's part skill part chance. You will notice after a while the game sometimes blatantly picks a winner. Your opponent will land on every attack block around the board and get every bonus etc etc. Mildly frustrating but overall worthwhile. And ignore the people below me, I'm in platinum league and I've got a lvl 5 character without paying a dime. They're probably salty because they lost a match
