People liked the game but there was also useful feedback (and observation) of where we can improve. Still too much clicking required. The game still requires constant clicking, even more than Diablo, and this is something we’ll have to solve. This dapper fellow thinks there’s too much clicking. Yeah… no luck.

There are also hidden easter eggs with interesting lines and detailed facial expressions if players click on or drag them around. Special effect from clicking on and dragging the Hot Cocoa Cookie. Despite the core gameplay being an integration of two classic types of mobile games, it does not feel out of place for the players.

In Fantasy Strike, you just click on anyone in your in-game friends list to challenge them. You just click on them to challenge, and that’s it. It’s intentional that you click once to challenge, they accept, then you are playing. Playing against friends in other fighting games can feel painfully outdated by comparison.

I mean, part of why I can’t believe that is that for almost a full year after the launch, I was furiously updating the game: two new factions, a new game mode (arguably two), a map editor, tons and tons of balance changes, polishing, bugfixes, you name it.

Bizarre as all this may sound, this recipe works and the game can be very engaging and fun to play, even if you are not a social casino fan! And this is purely a function of the pay tables in either game. Most definitely, all these supercharged systems of CM need to be weighed against a tightly balanced economy.
