    I like this app, but I hate it. I hate not knowing. Every time I think I’ve reached a point where I’ve seen enough and it’s time to quit, I’m curious as to what’s left. But it’s starting to run out of tricks. I’ve already unlocked all 7 skills, and I’ve unlocked at least 1 of each class in my party.

    But I’m curious how big your party can get. I mean, at some point you’d have to be running out of screen space. And is there a limit to the missions? So far each mission has been named and themed after its counterpart in the #Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair game, which has 98 missions. Does that mean this app has 98 missions as well? Can it be “beaten”? The achievement list seems to imply so, as I’ve just unlocked my third mission completion achievement at mission 27, with 7 left.

    With my player character at level 800, I just unlocked the ability to prestige. The description says that I can “disband my troops and start over” in return for 5 gems which I can trade in for Hero’s Portraits. What the hell is a Hero’s Portrait? And why would I wanna prestige this early? What would even happen? It’s not like I can go back to earlier missions. I’d be entirely too weak to do anything. Do you keep your strength but lose the levels? Or is it just there to screw you over and get you to spend real money to continue?

    I don’t know. That said, as an evil throwaway app that’s just meant to rob you of your cash, it’s not very good at it. I’m making steady progress with absolutely zero reason to invest real money. Sometimes I just let it run on my desk while it goes and accumulates medals (EXP). As soon as I unlocked my 3rd party member I stopped tapping entirely, as my auto-attacking party members get the job done just fine.

    It makes me wish phones worked differently. If I could just let this run in the background, and check up on it every now and then to see how humanity is doing in its battle against the alien invaders, it’d make for a decent Tamagotchi-esque app. But as soon as I suspend it, everything stops. I could put it on a dedicated phone, but I don’t know if my save file is in the cloud.

    Anyway, I think I’m gonna continue. I’m in too deep now. I need to see how far the rabbit whole goes. But if I’ve reached mission 98 and it’s just gonna start looping, that’s it for me. That’s an immediate uninstall.

      Editing … Hmm… I think this might be one of those situations where, just as you thought it wasn’t gonna go there, it went there. In mission 28, progress has slowed down significantly. Even if let it run for a bit and come back to level up, I can hardly beat the bosses. That’s good. If this keeps up, that’s all the more reason to trash this thing and waste my time playing real games. Real games like #7th Dragon III - Code: VFD where I run around till enemies pop up, and I then hit the R button to auto attack and clear them out, and possibly cast a healing spell after battle. Very different from this.

      Editing … Alright, I did it. I threw it all away for 5 gems and spent them on Hero’s Portraits, which are permanent boosts that can be increased every time you prestige. One of them increases crit rate, and the other decreases the number of levels needed before a boss appears . Welp, that was fun while it lasted. Time to hit the big bad uninstall button.
