The game also has microtransactions, that tempt you into paying to unlock extra units and upgrades, and all the online features have to go through Uplay – Ubisoft’s irritatingly unecessary online service. Joe, Cobra, and, err… Assassin’s Creed II aren’t in the base game at all and you either have to buy them for £3.99 each or as a four-in-one set for another £11.99 (there’s also a ‘Hall of Fame Edition’ that includes everything for £24.99).īut it doesn’t end there.
If you want any of the licensed armies you have to pay for them separately. There’s the Kaiser Wilhelm faction based on First World War Germany, the Dungeons & Dragons style Dark Lord, the sappy rainbow-coloured Starbright army, and non-descript sci-fi team Phantom. There are four armies in the basic £11.99 version of the game, none of which are based on real world toylines. Whether you’re fighting magic unicorns or giant robots it really doesn’t make much difference as there’s still only three basic types of unit. And while it sounds great to have such a weird collection of armies there’s very little practical difference between any but the hero characters.
