However, I have been playing the game for a while now and can tell you that there is no level 5 hump in which the game make you pay (In my experience). This isn't to say it is not time consuming. If you look closely, you can do 5 missions per hour, you then get money and other rewards to advance, this includes power cores. The power cores show up as special rewards for doing this or that (IE Catch 40 XYZ ghosts) and you get two power cores. You have to run enough missions to get these cores and be patient enough in the beginning to use the cores they give you when you start. Spend the power cores to Hire Egon. He is awesome. He has an ability to heal all the members of the party by 25% or so. His second is a shield for a targeted player for 6 seconds. This is a straight up strategy game and should be played as such. It appears to me to take time, critical thinking, and determination. I have just finished floor 6 and unlocked the manual for levels 6-10. I did it you can too! But, it took time. When starting a bust move all of your characters to the middle, but not so they are overlapping one another. This way you can click on a ghostbuster and use their abilities, if you don't use these you will fail. Also, do not let the ghostbusters determine their own targets, tell them what to hit. I get rid of all the lower level enemies first, as if you don't do so you may be chipped down, Once all the littles are taken care of have the character with the slime thrower attack the larger enemy, this usually distracts the enemy and causes them to attack that ghostbuster specifically. At the same time I have Egon healing them. If the enemy starts dealing to much damage I use Egon's shield ability. Again, every Ghostbuster should be focused on one enemy at a time. Hope this helps. Every Ghostbuster fan should get this game. End game I might buy some stuff but not now. If I do I might shorten the game. We need to support Ghostbusters games and merch as much as possible. If it popular and producers see a profit they will come out with more stuff. So, give it a real chance and stop complaining, it is a FREE game after all. My 2 cents, Thanks!
