Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app

Battle Islands is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free.

There's only a superficial "game" here. This mobile app is infested with both cheaters, and a P2W cash shop, as mobile devs keep finding new ways to push mobile trash on Steam and new ways for us to hate it. This mobile app has you "control an island" and defend it... which of course means spending a lot of $USD in the cash shop. It's weirdly one of the more popular mobile apps on Steam, which just goes to show not all Steam gamers have good taste.

It's just a veneer wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app cash shop.

The true purpose of this mobile app is to get you to hand your credit card details to the greedy mobile devs so you can buy stuff in the nasty cash shop... it's a mobile app cash harvester, and has no place in your game library.On pricing and value for gamers, this isn't really free as the game is infested with mobile app store like microtransactions. This is a consumer hostile model that we don't need to see on PC. It's deceptively priced to gouge gamers, and that's a reason in itself to avoid this.

Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it?

Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

A very fun game, love to play it
