Pricing & Fairness appears in 74% of analyzed reviews and ranks 1385th of 1399. 184 reviews object to microtransactions and the money needed to keep up, and some are angry that offline modes and XP progression were tied to spending. A few note that a later update removed them from some modes. 79 report bugs, such as crashes, endless loading screens and lost progress. 33 feel the balance is off, saying results seem scripted and simulation outcomes random.
