Squad Busters is a Free-To-Play Mobile Game Available on Both iOS and Android
For those wondering, Squad Busters is an entirely free-to-play game available in both the App Store and Google Play for iOS and Android devices respectively. However, the title does come with microtransactions for cosmetics and such. These microtransactions are also for popular multiplayer purchases like a battle pass, which can offer players both cosmetics and in-game currencies.
That being said, the purchase of such cosmetics will not affect the gameplay in any way, and gamers can choose to avoid them. One can enjoy the PvP/PvE gameplay loop for absolutely free.
Can Purchasing Items Make One Win Games Faster?
While Squad Busters is not a pay-to-win game, purchasing Coins and buying units can give the players an advantage at the start. One can build a stronger roster of characters by buying them from the store, compared to players who are grinding to make a perfect roster. However, the gameplay mechanics for the title still revolve around skill, more than the characters themselves.
While playing meta characters can give some an early advantage, these characters can all be unlocked for free by playing more games.
Items like Fusion Keys can also prove to be valuable as gamers using the item will get access to a Fused character the next time they open a chest in a battle. Fusion Keys can also be purchased through real-life currency in the game. As they are known to be a bit exploited by the community right now, many are asking Supercell to change or rework the mechanic for more fair gameplay.
All that aside, the title does not incorporate any major, game-altering pay-to-win system, and is solely focused on a competitive gameplay loop.
