Raid Review

Well downloaded this game, completed the campaign in less than a day. So hunted out the forum just to give my opinion. Worst steam game ever, far to easy. Begs for money all the time. Campaign so easy and tedious. Why all the different champions when you don't need them. Feel it's one of these games for older players who haven't really settled down and still live with mom. Not for me anyway. My rating 1 star, but only because you can't give 0. Call of duty about $60 and you get a good old storyline. Raid zero money and not even worth that, should be paying us to play it.

I have some doubts about a first time player who completed the campaign in less than a day.

I have some further doubts about someone who writes off a game after playing about 2% of the content, it's like complaining the CoD tutorial is too easy so never playing again.


But mostly I have some significant doubts about someone who claims to have JUST gotten the game and made their first and only post but joined the forum 4 years ago.

Is raid the best game in the world well frankly no. Does it pass some time when you are bored at work or want to zone out for a little from the wife and kids, yes it does. After a while you tend to ignore the relentless push for cash and pick a few packages that suit when money permits. Fully agree with the endless, endless amount of champs, but it's again a money grab for the big spenders.

@OP   yes  your right the game is for  the older generation.  Only because we have   $$$$$  in our pockets to spend ;) 

Kids play call of duty 

Men with fat wallets play Raid Shadow Legends  ;)   and even pay for their wives to play with them :P

Since you asked...

Not too much detail though

Former earth moving construction owner who sold  his shares  in the company to the  other half.  For a better stress free  life - but still employed there and  paid well

I really tried to give this game a chance, working it for over a month, with dedicated time to see what it was like, how to advance, and some of the metrics involved. I've been a beta tester and advisor to many different entities in the software realm, for many years, including companies already public or in pursuit thereof, and Ive had my own dealings with the SEC as CEO/CFO. 

I concur with the top comment that this game is deserving of ZERO stars, simply due to their agressive and incessant pop-up marketing trying to pry way too much money from players, in order to advance quicker. My method is to not spend a penny, seeing how far I can go before hitting that proverbial brick wall, where those who spend excel, over those who don't, and there's where the deterioration of the game is rooted.

The direct conversations with principals and programmers for online gaming remains the same with respect to my perrspective that all players, regardless of how much money they spend, ought not outpace or make it impossible for those not shelling out their money to still compete on a level playing field. This has brought about the demise of many once popular online games, after that initial flash of success. 

It's only a matter of time until Plarium's RAID suffers the same fate, due to a number of factors:

  1. The damned pop-ups soliciting money from players are NEVERENDING;
  2. Some of the storyline and interface elements are poorly designed and don't always function properly;
  3. The graphics are already outdated, players passing through others, sometimes glitchy; 
  4. There are seemingly various contradictions within the game structure, with strange random probabilities and unexpeccted outcomes that are inconsistent; 
  5. The amounts of monetary contributions for items are WAY out of line and unacceptably high for what is gained; 
  6. The story can be difficult to follow or fulfill, until and unless a player forks out a substantial amount of cash; 
  7. If the amount of money each offer requested waas reduced substantially for the higher priced ones, economies of scale by greater use could more than compensate for the price adjustment and attract more active players, which makes for better game play for everyone; 
  8. Did I mention the damned pop-ups that never stop?!?

These are some of what I came up with which will probably have me dumping this game after giving it what I considered a really fair chance. Between the unfair structure favoring only those that pay to play, it decimates and eliminates any player either unwilling or unable to spend that much to win, no matter how dedicated they might be. 

In other words, be prepared to spend hundreds of dollars for this outdated and unfair game if you truly want to compete within it, while still dealing with never ending pop-up ads more then a dozen times even through short game play sessions. 

The bottom line is, this game isn't worth the time and money required to continue for any length of time, when there are newer games with better graphics, slicker interfaces, without the neverending ads, neverending ads,  neverending ads,  neverending ads,  neverending ads.

I doubt that you were ever a CEO or CFO.  You think life should be a charity.  This game is a business and they have to earn to keep the game going.  

Or maybe, you can take your CEO/CFO stock option money, buy this game and run it in perpetuity as FREE for all.  

Put your money where your mouth is.  Or, as we say in Texas, money talks and BS walks.

Fair point about the constant pop-ups though;

I had an idea: How about charging $1 a month to not have any specials pop up? You'd still get all the same offers, but you'd have to look in the shop intentionally instead of having 11 in a row pop up presicely under your mouse while you're trying to click on the sparring pit when you log in
