Berserk: Evolution

I used to play Berserk: Cataclysm and also Warstorm and enjoyed both. They are deck building games, similar to "Magic the gathering." Part of the enjoyment of these games was playing for hours without your "energy" running out quickly and having to spend $ to continue playing, or wait it out. Luckily this game does not have energy (only for using portals to attack other players which is reasonable) so you can play at your leisure for any length of time. The problems begin after you have started to enjoy the basic game and want to keep upgrading your current cards and obtain new squads. Now it's time to get your credit card out if you want to keep advancing in the game... Since the whole object of the game is to obtain better cards to go to battle with, and open packs of cards with the hopes of getting awesome new warriors prices of new cards should be reasonable right? Sorry, that's not the case. To get your first new squad, without using real $, you will need to win approximately 100+ battles. Keep in mind your starting deck is not very good, so you will only win about 60% of your fights against the computer, if your luck is good. Fights last anywhere from 2-5 minutes. You can get single cards for much cheaper, but the odds of obtaining a decent card are less than 1/25, so you are basically wasting your in game currency. "Ounces" are the special currency, and they are used to obtain premier warriors. The problem with this is you can only get them by PURCHASING them, or by "checking in" daily for tiny amounts. (Every 2-3 days you get a very small amount) Overall I have been disappointed, as I was expecting more from a game by this developer. This is a classic "pay real money to advance" type of game.
