Juggernaut Wars Review
Juggernaut Wars is a free-to-play, 3D social RPG developed and
published by My.com, a Dutch company most known for publishing the PC
MMORPG, Skyforge, and the
mobile RPG, Evolution: Battle for Utopia. Juggernaut Wars is the sequel
to My.com’s 2012 RPG, Juggernaut Revenge of Sovering, which features a
similar world but completely different gameplay. Despite claiming to be
an “Action RPG MOBA game” in its App Store description, Juggernaut Wars
is neither an action RPG nor a MOBA game. The game is really a
hero-collecting RPG like Heroes Charge with largely automated gameplay,
single-player stage-based progression, and very limited social aspects.
The game does have nice graphics which shows resemblance to MOBAs, but
the actual gameplay itself is quite bland and generic with nothing that
really separates it from all the other automated, hero-collecting RPGs
out there- but may still be worth a shot for players new to the genre.
Journeying Along the Stages
The world of Juggernaut Wars is divided up into hundreds of stages
spread out along a large, linear map. Players will progress through the
game one stage at a time, and each stage gets increasingly more
difficult as time goes on. Players can assemble a party of up to 5
Heroes and watch as they battle through each stage in a 3D isometric
view. Each stage features three waves of enemies, with a boss stage
every so often that drops Hero Soulstones, which can be combined to
assemble Heroes. Because of this, players can simply repeat and farm
these boss stages for specific Soulstones; however, a lot is needed in
order to unlock a Hero. Each stage is fairly short and casual, and can
generally be completed in less than 3 minutes each, although more
difficult stages tend to be a little longer. Currently, the game doesn’t
have a story so players will mainly play stage after stage with no real
purpose, which makes the game feel a little lackluster. Although every
hero-collecting RPG like this predominantly plays the same, they all
tend to at least have some unique features that sets it apart, but
Juggernaut Wars, unfortunately, has nothing distinctive other than its
pretty “MOBA-like” graphics.
The Battle System
The combat in Juggernaut Wars is very similar to hero-collecting RPGs such as Heroes Charge and Grand Chase
M. Heroes will automatically move and attack on their own, and players
have no control over the action other than to manual activate skills for
each Hero. Heroes increase their skill bars by attacking, and once the
bar is full, players can tap on the respective Hero’s portrait to
activate the skill. Sadly, unlike the prequel, the combat system in
Juggernaut Wars is very generic and automated, and players cannot even
choose which enemy to target; Heroes will randomly target enemies which
minimizes any form of strategy. Most games can get away with the
automated combat since the battles tend to be fairly short and
fast-paced; however, Juggernaut Wars maintains the same combat system
with even slower paced battles that makes the combat quite boring to
watch. In Juggernaut Wars, Heroes have a 4 second delay between each
attack resulting in needlessly slow-paced and boring automated battles
to watch. There is an “Auto” button that allows for Heroes to
automatically attack but skills are used very inefficiently this way and
is problematic in harder stages. The battles are, however, more
interesting when players unlock more skills for each Hero, but overall,
the combat feels very automated, slow-paced, and lackluster.
The Juggernaut Army
There are 30 unique Heroes to collect in Juggernaut Wars, which isn’t as
much as in most hero-collecting RPGs, but still offers a lot of
variety. Each Hero looks distinctive, artistically drawn, and possesses
an unmistakable European influence. The Heroes have no elements or
classes, rather, are divided up simply by Front Row and Back Row. Heroes
range from 1-6 Stars, and can only be unlocked by collecting enough
Hero Soulstones to create them. Players can obtain Soulstones from
completing certain stages and from Gacha chests, and each Hero takes
quite a lot of Soulstones to create. After players have unlocked a Hero,
they can be promoted by fully equipping them with equipment (known as
trophies) obtained from completing certain stages which strengthens the
Hero and unlocks new Hero skills. Players can evolve their Heroes with
Hero Soulstones of that Hero, which again, can be obtained from stages
and Gacha chests. Unlocking and Promoting Heroes require quite a lot of
Soulstones so the process ends up being very time-consuming with a lot
of time spent farming.
PVP Arena Clashes
The Arena features the only social aspect of the game which involves
competitive PVP battles. However, the PVP is completely automated such
that players cannot even manually use skills. Upon entering the Arena,
players can choose to face one of three randomly selected players (of
similar ranking) and then watch as the two sides battle it out. Players
have no control over the combat, and considering each Hero takes around 4
seconds to attack as previously mentioned, the PVP battles can be quite
boring to watch and drawn-out. There aren’t really any strategies for
the PVP other than assembling a good party of highly promoted/evolved
Heroes. The PVP can be slightly pay-to-win since paying members can
obtain better Heroes and can level, promote, and evolve them faster, but
eventually everyone can supposedly catch up. Winning Arena battles
gives badges that can be traded for various goods including Hero
Soulstones, equipment, and more, and players can obtain gold and
Sapphire (premium currency) from their Arena rankings.
The Portal of Trials
In addition to the Arena and Campaign, there is another additional mode
called Portal which features special dungeons that give out various
prizes. In the Portal, there are currently 2 level-locked Trials to
choose from (Trial and Trial of Death), which are further broken down
into three dungeons that are open on different days of the week. Each of
these dungeons contains a different enemy theme, and can be attempted
up to 5 times a day. Completing trials are a great way of obtaining rare
equipment and items, and offer an additional means of farming apart
from the Campaign. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t have too much variety
apart from the Arena and Portal but these two modes still add more
supporting content to the Campaign mode.
Cash Shop/In-App Purchases (IAP)
The in-app purchases in Juggernaut Wars provide various, convenient
advantages. With Sapphires (premium currency), players can open chests
that contain random Hero Soulstones which allows players to unlock and
evolve Heroes much quicker without farming, purchase Stamina to play
more stages, purchase in-game gold to buy more Store items and upgrade
Hero skills, and more. There are also VIP levels for purchasing
Sapphires that give bonuses such as more dungeon runs and PVP battles
each day, and there is a special chest containing Hero Soulstones and
more that can only be opened at “VIP 11.” Overall, spending money is not
required but gives advantages in faster game and Hero progression,
which in turn, gives a slight edge in the PVP. Players can open a
premium chest for free every day, and obtain Sapphires for free from PVP
and missions so it isn’t too bad but still, as mentioned, spending
money gives a convenient advantage.
Final Verdict – Fair
Juggernaut Wars is a fairly generic hero-collecting RPG with automated
combat, many Heroes to collect, and lots of stages to play through.
Unfortunately, the combat is very unengaging and slow-paced, Heroes take
a long time to unlock and evolve, and the game doesn’t offer anything
unique to the genre other than its artistic graphics. Still, it has
enough content and polish that may appeal to newer players of the genre.
