The base game is free, larger maps and more tribes cost money. Polytopia has a very clear UI, an easy to learn, hard to master gameplay loop, pleasant art, a remarkably well thought out tech tree and some of the best random map generation I've ever seen. It's turn-based strategy compressed down to the absolute minimum, yet it's insanely polished, enjoyable and addictive. Coworkers were sinking hundreds a month to "keep up". Pokemon Go is my only real F2P app, but that's more something to do while walking to places.Įdit: I've played the most popular "Clash of" titles, and those are just obvious "cash to compete" titles, so I bounced out quickly. Summoners War is the only game that I've played and not felt completely overrun with special packs, but that, too, got bad after a year of play and hitting a grind wall. It's great trade off and I've spent loads of hours playing it. Each additional faction not only adds variety but you can increase the number of total factions on the map. Free to try, with extra factions costing $1~$3. The best mobile game I've enjoyed is The Battle of Polytopia (on iPad, too). I'm okay with free and paying to remove ads, but designing a game with obvious grind or RNG mechanics, with paid bypasses (or worse, just chances to bypass) are things that are terrible for all parties except those aiming to profit. I think that matters if there's a cost of entry for the title.
