The suggestions has been universally detrimental on day one.
Marvel Snap’s developer Second Dinner not too long ago went completely unbiased not too long ago, and if the sport’s newest restricted time mode is any indication, there’s going to be some rising pains.
For instance, the fan-favorite mode Excessive Voltage simply went reside within the card battler with a twist this afternoon. Excessive Voltage Overdrive places a wrinkle on the fast-paced, shorter mode by including a bunch of random playing cards and results into the equation, inflicting pure chaos and RNG.

The reception on the mode itself is blended, however there was common anger in response to the sport mode’s store costs. Gamers should buy a few new, highly effective playing cards utilizing a foreign money earned within the mode (Volts), however the costs within the store are astronomically excessive. And naturally, the grind could be skipped completely through the use of actual world cash to buy the foreign money wanted.
One of many new playing cards, Child Omega, prices a whopping 50,000 Volts. Gamers can full bounties each eight hours to earn 875 Volts free of charge, however bounties could be refreshed for 300 Gold (about $3), and there are some Volts on the occasion’s reward monitor too.
The maths is complicated, however for now, it appears as if the brand new card can’t be earned with out spending actual foreign money, which is one thing the sport elsewhere avoids. Avid gamers of the sport are fairly upset by the event, with Snap’s announcement about Excessive Voltage Overdrive on Twitter/X being met with loads of anger.
“I’ve been enjoying this for years however the corp greed is getting excessive and actually off-putting,” one participant stated.
“I really wish to know the way you guys attain the selections that get authorized to get put out into the general public, like who sees this store and says ‘YUP’ this is smart,” stated one other gamer. “Went from hyped to completely not caring in regards to the new playing cards.”
I’ve performed an entire heck of loads of Snap myself over the previous few years, and the seemingly insurmountable value of Volts for Child Omega makes it appear not well worth the grind, on prime of the truth that I actually don’t just like the randomness of Overdrive and miss the unique Excessive Voltage.
Second Dinner is often fairly receptive to suggestions, so I’m hoping {that a} change or two might be made because the mode is barely right here till subsequent Tuesday. In any other case, I feel I’ll spend my time in one other recreation in the meanwhile.
