Iron Man 3 trailer shows glimpses of micro-transaction misery [VIDEO]
Leading up to Iron Man 3’s announcement, we didn’t know what type of game to expect from Gameloft. We got our answer when it was unveiled at the Game Developers’ Conference last month — an endless runner that will suck you dry of all your coins through the advent of micro-transactions. It’s a practice that has become increasingly popular (and equally as annoying) in the mobile world, and Gameloft isn’t ashamed to say they want a piece of that pie.
In the latest teaser for the game, we’re given a glimpse of what you’ll probably be spending your money on. One of the main components of Iron Man 3 is the ability to upgrade Tony Starks’ suit, with 18 different suits to upgrade in your quest to become the most powerful and effective Iron Man you can be.
Each suit is unique in weapons and attributes, so there’s some varying degree of replayability if you don’t mind being urged to spend your real dollars to unlock their full potential. Take a look in the trailer above, and watch out for the game’s launch next week, April 25th, in the Google Play Store for free.
