Fun but repetitive and easily costly.

After spending many hours increasing the amount of money to spend for increased weapons, armor, shield, etc. and becoming adept in fighting the various warriors, I find the ending of the game disappointing. I have reached the point where I can win every tournament with no difficulty. I have the best weapons, shields, armor, etc, that I can purchase based on winning the tournaments over and over. I did not spend any additional "real" dollars in purchasing gems or coins. But now that I have the best and feel that I am the best warrior, it was time to move on to the Elite Tournaments. So I spent the $9.99 on enough gems to enter both elite tournaments. I was expecting improved warriors to battle against. Instead I went through both tournaments very quickly, defeating all opponents and winning Invictus. I thought I would go back to these two elite tournaments and fight again, as I do the regular tournaments. But once again I am asked to pay in gems that the only way to obtain them is to pay with "real" money. Why do I have to pay over and over to fight in these elite tournaments. Why isnt paying once enough? So, after many hours and $9.99 I find myself at the end of the tournaments with little challenge.
The game is fun while learning but once you master it becomes boring. The rewards for winning the elite tournaments are very poor. Im also disappointed that when you continue to advance in levels you continue to receive the same 3 skill points. There is no greater reward in advancing up the levels.
I also strongly suggest that you set your option to yes for the "buying confirmation" toggle If not you could easily find ourself spending large amounts of "real" money for gems and coins.
A fun game but due to the repetitiveness and the fact that you can only play the elite tournaments one time without having to pay again, and again, and again, I only rate this game as 4 stars.
