Sorare Snatch: Fantasy Game

INITAL GAME: The game is very alluring and has some great features. The early game is wonderful and balanced through rebirths 1-3. After 3 rebirths you get placed in a pool with levels 4-11. With increasing wealth disparity that puts the lowest players at a significant earning potential as high rebirth players set to target lower level players for their cards. From levels 5 and up, you need to obtain legendary cards that go for up to Trillions of dollars. You’re going to be spending up to a week (at least) saving that money which does not get refunded on lost bids. From reading through discord there is a significant disparity of mid game players (25-50mil/s) competing for the same cards the higher tiered players need as well. Losing your money for failed bids is a neat mechanic, but when you’re a new player going against players who have chosen to stop rebirthing and amass wealth, you’re forever at a disadvantage. ATTACK/DEFENSE: The aim of the game is attacking and defending. This is a fun mechanic but quickly becomes unbalanced into the mid game. Once you get level 4, you unlock a goalie and get placed in the large pool. The established players level 5 and above immediately get an extra attacker leaving you helpless on defense and allowing them to snatch your club clean. The established players have been stuck at level 5 & 6 for a prolonged period of time have not only more money than you but also have in-game bonuses from their cards performing well over the course of the football season. With the offseason coming up, anyone who isn’t rebirthing is significantly at an advantage as new players are not able to obtain the same bonuses. Especially as you rebirth to attempt to get to level 5, you would lose any club bonuses you earned just trying to stay competitive. IN GAME HELP: In the help guide there are mentions of loss shields and minimum card protection. Which no longer work. You can and expect to be attacked for all your cards. DISCORD: This game also holds an active discord and you are again disadvantaged if you do not join. The top 25 players conspire with each other to prevent new players from leveling up. The top 25 players have long since passed the new game experience and see the game through a lens that is no longer relevant while spouting outdated information in the discord. Which is conveniently easy when they make 100mil/s or more while you will be limited to 30mil/s as you try and progress the ranks. Just be patient as they outbid you. SUGGESTIONS: This game has potential, and I think as the developers continue to take in feedback this game can be really great. A.) Feedback form: Open up a form within the app to take in additional feedback. Not everyone has discord and limiting your feedback to the 1% of players may be detrimental to newcomers as they’re no longer involved in the early game. B.) Wealth Tiered Lobbies: I’ve been going back and forth on what may be a productive and still competitive for attacking and defending. Have lobbies tiered by earning potential $$/s. Having people of similar wealth vying for the same tier of card should encourage more attacking and defending as they compete over the same resources. Versus now, where lower ranked players are unable to attack or defend against higher rebirthed players. C.) Rebirth ranked lobbies: This idea I’m less fond of. Lobbies limited to ranks: 1-2, 3-4, 5-7, 8+ may be too restrictive? D.) Penalty for attacking lower rebirths: There needs to be a handicap factor in higher rebirths attacking lower rebirths. There are very few cards a lower rebirth may have that someone higher needs. They have more cards and more bonuses, you cannot defend or attack back. You’re essentially feeders to the top 100. There needs to be some tweak either attacking or defensively to make it potentially risky for attacking players significantly below your starting 2 or more levels. CONCLUSION: I may check the game out from time to time, and see the updates. Seeing the game loop and what is going to be required to push through the middle game has honestly started to kill my interest. It’s pretty tiring to save for a day only to be immediately out priced for any decent card as people competing for the same cards make potentially 3-10x more than others.

Really fun game until you spend days grinding coins to attempt to buy a legendary player that a way higher level steals because they can join the same lobby. Stopped playing this game after a week.

A great game, I recommend.
