I wish more companies followed this framework with there F2Play/Start games. I would much rather pay 20-40 to unlock the game completely versus being micro transationed to death.

Does this game have worthwhile gameplay?  A lot of F2Play games don't have much substance under the scam of paying money to speed up cooldowns between actions.  If you removed the pay element the resulting game would be pretty limiting.  In a world where microtransactions was never a thing would this game hold up as a retail release?

I wonder how the unlock system will work in this version. If you just get all those jewels at the start, you could unlock things a little too quickly, perhaps.

I actually thought part of the fun of the eShop version was seeing how far I could get without spending money, so I don't think I'd buy this version.

OZ already has had this for about a month
