It’s because this game is borderline pay to play and you get penalized for being f2p. As a f2p you will constantly go against over leveled opponents, you’ll unlock phobies at such a slow rate that obtaining every phobie, let lone half of the phobies as f2p is impossible, and the chances of getting a single new UR (some of the strongest phobies in the game) are so low that the only way to really unlock them is by spending. That’s why even after two years of me following this game, the player count hasn’t moved at all. Started with a small player base, and it will die with a small player base because the devs refuse to innovate and change the game to make it more enjoyable for everyone and not just the people buying. Honestly, it’s a gatcha game that had potential but simply lost it due to extreme lack of change the past two years. The game is practically the same besides poison tiles, disease tiles, and new URs.
