Storage: Auction Legends Strategy and Review
If you are thinking about buying or trying the latest storage unit bidding game: Storage Auction Legends. This strategy guide which includes a little bit of review may help you.
This strategy and review will touch upon mainly the free version while giving advice on how to advance in the game.
Never Get More than 1 Storage Unit
One of the biggest constraint for the game is your van space. Winning the bid for the extra storage space almost never helps, you cannot bring back home the loots anyways.
This means that if you are in a multi auction where there are a few storage units for grabs. Skip out the ones that contain items that seem less than 20. The chances are the storage space has roughly 10 items. So that any other units that you get later on will run the risk of not having space.
Do Not Upgrade Your Van Space
At the time of writing, the van space upgrade either only lasts for 1 storage space, or the upgrade is only temporary. Never waste your precious coins on the small van upgrades.
Bid Hard and Fast
Enter the bidding process as soon as the round starts. You may get lucky with a units that no other AI bids on. You have better chances of making lots of profit when AI lets you away with a unit for cheap.
Bid hard and fast for 2~3 bids, then slow down to observe how the computer is reacting to the prices.
Avoid Purely Bidding Wars
Do not outbid your competitors just because you feel like it. If a bid for a storage space is heading into thousands of coins, drop out and wait for next storage units.
By bidding up the prices much higher, you run a higher chance of not making back your money and have to take a loss. The easiest way to tell if AI’s have entered bidding war is if they are bidding against themselves to push the prices higher.
Watch Out for Ads in Free Version
Yes this is sad. But the ads appear so frequently in the game, that it becomes an actual game play feature to “dodge” the ads. Without being on your toe about not clicking on those land mines, sometimes the ads can redirect you to the appstore, which then stall your main game in the middle of auction.
When that happens, you are screwed because you will indefinitely lose the amount of energy spent, and have to wait for the cool down. And if you are in the middle of a winning bid or picking up your loots, you will lose your hard earned cash. So dodge those ads at all cost!
Go for boxes
This strategy can be a little counter intuitive, however, the majority of the money making rare items are all hidden in boxes. Go for units with the most sealed boxes that you can see is key to winning your cash fast in the game.
It should be noted that the types of boxes do not seem to matter, the item costs for the boxes items seem random. So, just go for the boxes and win those money!
Be aware of Misclicks
Storage: Auction Legends offers no warning or confirmations when you want to skip the auction or close out the unit that you have won. Make sure that you really do not want to bid, or that you have collected all the items from the unit.
You can lose out on money making opportunities or even worse lose money on winning bids if you are not careful.
Review
The free version of Storage: Auction Legends in its current form is not playable in our opinion. The developer needs to tone down the ads serving a notch. Having ads appearing in the middle of bidding or item collecting is stupid, add the possibility of game crash after ad click simply adds frustration to the players.
However, for the paid version, the energy and van space restraints can still frustrate players. Given the “luck” aspect of the game, it is simply better to complete remove the van restraint since people really click on the storage items at random. There are no pattern nor really any skill related to item picking out of the storage spaces.
