KatsumiVictorZazuetaMKatsumiMafia6k i never hurd of this game ever looks corny
The business model is kind of messed up in my opinion. You are given 1 character for free and have to actually pay to access the rest of them
Well you get to play for FREE, there's no reason to complain

There kind of is. They should of made available a rotating roster of characters much like they did in league of legends, also if you weigh up the cost of every character in the game it is far more than $70

Kurumu That still doesn't make this game any better.
Well a character rotation always keeps the game interesting. I personally don't like the business module they are going for what so ever though
