This game is no longer a free-to-play game. So if you are looking for a fun marvel hero free to play game.. this ain't it.. so many new characters are being added to the game at a very fast rate, but we are not given the chance to earn the shards or resources needed. The developers create scarcity or problems that can only be solved by $$$ and not at all affordable ! Very expensive game and not worth your time or money. As long as the krakens keep giving in to their scams guess they don't care!
