      Those familiar sounds when you tap buildings or head into battle.

      die bekannten Töne, wenn man auf die Gebäude klickt oder in den Kampf zieht.

      Ein Serienfan mag die vertrauten Klänge, findet den Aufbau aber stärker eingeschränkt als früher.

      얼마전에 시작했는데 레벨도 빨리 올라가고 좋은듯? 추천이요!

      막 시작했을 때의 성장 체감으로, 후반 진행이나 과금 필요성에 대한 평가는 아니다.

      For free-to-play players or people spending a few dollars here and there it’s impossible to catch up or compete.

      Likes the visuals and events but says heavy spenders dominate the server and are hard to compete with.
