Edyn initially appears to be a typical cash grab mobile game rife with ads and pay-to-win mechanics; however, developers have confirmed that the in-game shop will only offer cosmetic items, ensuring that no player gains a combat advantage through microtransactions. This approach is well-received, especially in the context of PvP games.
- “No PvP game should have microtransactions that give a combat advantage.”
- “Edyn at first glance looks like one of those cash grab mobile games you expect to be full of ads and microtransactions for wallet warriors to gain an advantage, but it isn't. I believe after talking with the devs, they intend to keep the in-game shop cosmetic only.”
