Paid loot boxes

You pay without knowing what you get. The good stuff is rare, so you pay again and again.

Evidence: 41 reseñas con contenido lo explican: «Gacha Game with Gacha Battles. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. This is genuinely the worst possible "strategy" card game you could ever play, or even introduce young people to. It's»

Pay to win

Whoever pays wins more easily. If you do not pay, you lose to those who do.

Evidence: 36 reseñas con contenido lo explican: «Pay To Win. El juego más pay to win que he visto en mi vida. Como no te pongas a pagar va a ser que no le ganas ni al que acaba de empezar. Insufrible. Da pereza jugar juegos así»

Build timers

Everything takes hours unless you pay. And it pings you to come back.

Evidence: 8 reseñas con contenido lo explican: «Faltan mejoras. El juego me gusta, pero hay mucho tiempo de espera para abrir mas sobres.. las colecciones antiguas desaparecen, deberían de dejarlas o que volvieran a salir por ti»

Premium currency

You do not pay in euros, you pay in gems, so you lose track of the real cost.

Evidence: 5 reseñas con contenido lo explican: «Juego MUY MALO. No importa tus cartas o tu estrategia, la mayoría de partidas se deciden por el puro azar con una moneda virtual de cara o cruz, si buscas un buen juego de TGC este»

Daily login rewards

Gives you something for showing up daily and takes it away if you miss a day.

Evidence: 7 reseñas con contenido lo explican: «Wade’s review. It is really fun and it’s challenging I love how you get packs and daily rewards so I think anyone should play this since it’s so fun»

Limited-time events

Things that last only a few days, so you jump in without thinking.

Evidence: 3 reseñas con contenido lo explican: «FOMO. They really put a time limit on the "welcome back" mission rewards. Okay, I guess I'll just keep not coming back.»

Sold in parts

The full game costs more than the price on the box: there is separate paid content. Not a dirty trick, but worth knowing before buying.

Evidence: vende contenido aparte, p. ej. «200 Pokélingotes (de pago)» por 39,99 €
