Smash Cup

Shameless Pay-to-Win that is obviously designed for mobile. Some heroes and towers are locked behind the store and the premium battlepass that needs to be purchased with real money (you don't earn enough of the premium currency through the free pass to purchase it). Game also has no playerbase and bots are not interesting to play against.

Strangely addictive game. I have not experienced the Pay-to-Win that other reviewers have claimed, but I am quite annoyed that I am limited to ranking up on a long timer basis unless I decide to pay. Interesting concept, and currently I am hooked.

at first it looked like brawl stars but as i started to explore the game i discovered that you can build your own base and play against other players who have their own bases which i think is pretty cool. with time and progress you can get more items to place in your base making it harder to crack. there are several game modes, i found 2v2 and 3v3 to be the most fun. me and a friend went for a strategy of one building turrets only and one building minions, forcing the enemy to fight us near the turrets while our minions rush forward - currently our top strategy. you can summon a giant robot to fight by your side which is cool as fighting head on isn't always the best scenario for the win and sometimes getting the robot on your side is sort of a tank pushing forward allowing you to focus on destroying the enemy base. there are probably other strategies i haven't discovered yet. i haven't unlocked all fighters yet, and am not sure what the fighter upgrades give except for more stats. overall the game is fun, fighting mechanics is good, matches are pretty short (< 5min) and there is a definite sense of progress as you play more.

Great game for early access! Cool concept - Besides managing your hero, you get to build your defenses and mob factories between games. Art and style are fitting to the theme. Looking forward to the see what they do with the Tower defense mode

You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] "Smash Cup" is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. This is just another garbage mobile scam with no players. If there were any, the winners of each battle is determined by who gave the mobile developers the most cash through the toxic P2W cash shop that infests this garbage. There's only a superficial game here. The game visuals and the game itself are incredibly shallow... think of them as the too-bright, colourful, thin plastic cabinet dress theme on a poker machine at the casino. That's basically what this is. So really, the mobile app "game" is just a veneer, a thin skin wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app cash shop. Putting that toxic mobile app monetisation aside... this is a mobile app. I didn't spend thousands on a gaming PC so I could pretend it's an iPhone, and I …
