Vampire Wars from Zynga is the only one I play. It has taken me a month to get to level 83 or so, not get creamed in combat and have a decent size clan of great clannies.
I have spent up to $40 on Favor Points -- they allow you to move and advance faster because you buy energy. You also buy cool avatar outfits with FPs or Blood.
In Vampire Wars one is represented by an avatar; I am Simpatica. The avatar has skills that you "buy" with "blood" which you obtain fighting other avatars or going on missions. Now, lest you think this means you play a Nintendo-like game where you are manipulating characters on the screen, I have to say all you do is click. There is no animation. The computer picks the best attributes for fighting. The missions require a certain level of energy and skills or items. You win, buy, are gifted/loaned or borrow the items.
In fighting you have skill, abilities, clan size, their abilities, and rage points (how many times you can click to fight. You look at a list of other players and choose one you think you can beat based on skill level and clan size. It is tricky. As you fight you lose health which you have to buy back with blood. And, if you are not playing, people still attack while you are off board unless your health falls to low. So before you log off you try to run it down.
Are you confused yet? I was, It took me a month and joining a group of lovely and helpful people who work together to help each other. A very nice player adopted me and has been advising me on clan and strategy. She's been very helpful.
I haven't decided if it is fun yet. It is the perfect foil for an Obsessive.
I have resolved not to spend any more $$ on Favor Points. Until I decide otherwise.
Vampire Wars...I actually like this game alot. although it is only clicking, like you said, there is a certain amount of strategy involved in how you spend blood, improve abilities, etc. I never (with one exception) spend money on any games...don't have any to spend! :) I started playing in late December and am now at level 71. A friend of mine from high school whom I reconnected with on facebook introduced me to the game, and though my clan is small, I enjoy the challenges of using blood wisely, balancing energy and health vs. the advantages of winning fights. One thing I don't like, though, are the time limited "special missions" that give extra abilities, etc. Some people seem to not only complete them in time, but go for a second time around, too! I have yet to complete one of these on time (I suspect one must spend $$$ to do so!) and I got very upset the last time I came very close to finishing...but couldn't in time. I had to readjust my attitude about those special missions, or quit the game. I also am not fond of the whole apocalypse theme right now...I love vamp stuff, and see no conflict with my faith, but the apocalypse just touches a nerve. Well, I'm a pk (preacher's kid) so I've probably just read Revelations too many times LOL. Overall, I enjoy the game, but have to remind myself not to take it too seriously. :) Aimee/Desiree
