Just like all games of this genre, this game has gone the way of the gold buyers. The only way to level your base it to spend in the hundreds of dollars at a time. And then the cheaters found a way to hack the game and they have every defensive tower at a super low level. Multiple people have complained about this and nothing has happened. Additionally the system that chooses your opponents is pitiful, making you fight bases that are 5 to 10 levels about your own and nearly impossible. Used to be a really fun game, now not worth playing.
