15 best deals of the week - OneState RP, Genshin Impact, and PUBG Mobile

We have made it to the weekend, and for a lot of us, payday. So, it seems like a good time for a healthy dose of consumer advice. You will no doubt be aware that a lot of games offer paid extras for some more enjoyment, but did you know you might be getting ripped off if you're buying directly in-app?

That’s because Google Play and the App Store take a fee from every transaction, so developers feel the need to inflate their prices. To get around this, some developers now use third-party storefronts that offer better value. Not only do they get a bigger piece of the pie, but it's often cheaper for you. So, everyone wins. Well, except Google and Apple. 

Be aware that you might experience some fluctuation. Deals may be personalised, and I am based in the UK. Different territories may have different deals. With that in mind, on with the savings. Oh, and everything's in alphabetical order, so if you're looking for something specific, do bear that in mind. 

Depending on how much you want to spend, Call of Duty Mobile has increasing bonuses on its CP bundles. It starts at 10% for the 0.99 GBP 80 CP bundle, and continues, such as 20% on the 7.99 GBP 800 bundle, or 40% on the 99.99 GBP 8,000 bundle. There's also a one-time 20% web purchase discount on select bundles.

To help you catch those creatures in Clash of Critters, you can get a 5% bonus on all Ignis Gem bundles. You will also get a 2% discount on your first purchase, which is not a lot, but a saving is a saving. 4.99 GBP for 525 Ignis Gems sounds like the right level. 

The Dragonball Legends website has a one-off exclusive bundle of 1,000 Chrono Crystals for 2.99 GBP you can pick up. If you need to recharge more, there's also a standard bonus for Webstore top-ups. 3.99 GBP will get you 160 instead of 150, 7.99 GBP gets 340 over 320, and so on. Make this your top-up spot.

Sticking with the 210% rebates, Dark War: Survival is running pretty much the same deals. £9.59 on 1,000 Dawn Badges gets you an extra 1,100. However, there’s also a more budget-friendly 4.79 GBP option, for 500 Dawn Badges plus an extra 550.

If World Cup fever has you gripped, EA Sports FC is currently running details on players across the world. Each country has a pack for 4.49 GBP for patriotic players, in which you get an untradeable 115- 119 OVR player and 500,000 coins. You can get up to three per country.

Continuing with the football trend, eFootball is offering a Starter Set for just 0.69 GBP. It features the 83-rated Gabriel Batistuta and 50 coins. If you need more coins, there's an offer of 840 for 4.29 GBP. There are deals on higher amounts, but less than 5.00 GBP for both of those isn’t bad.

Until August 8th, Evony is running a 5% extra bonus on all their Pink Gem Bundles. With options starting at 99 Gems for 0.99 GBP, you can snag a little extra on any budget. 

If you are looking to top up your Genesis Crystals on Genshin Impact, the webstore is offering double Crystals on everything, from the 4.99 GBP 300 Crystals, right up to and including the 6480 99.99 GBP bundle. It’s a deal that makes you consider the higher end.

5% is a trend, it appears, as Kingshot is also offering the same on its Kingdom Stars. It starts at 9.99 GBP for 999 Stars, plus the extra 50. The percentage doesn’t rise towards the 999.99 GBP bundles, so you aren’t missing any value by staying low.

Last War is offering an extra 5% on all of their Gold Brick Store. Depending on how far you want to go, that can be an extra 25 on the 4.99 GBP 500 bundle, right up to an extra 5,000 on the 999.99 GBP 100,000 bundles. Value drops off a little at the higher end, I feel.

For some tonal whiplash, next up is Last Z: Survival Shooter. In perhaps one of the best deals on this list, spending 9.59 GBP on 1,000 Gold bars will get you an extra 1,100, not a typo. And whilst £19.00 on 2,000 Gold Bars gets you an extra 2,200, I would stick to under 10.00 GBP. This offer refreshes monthly, as well. 

You will know the saying “money makes the world go round”, and it is the same in life-sim OneState RP. Luckily, there are escalating Wesbtore Bonus and State Coins, as well as just a straight extra bonus. It goes up to 10% extra on your 999.99 EUR purchase, but not many of us will go that far. My pick is the 9.89 EUR bundle. 500 with a 5% bonus, up to 525, and an extra 120 on top. Not a bad spend.

Finally, PUBG Mobile is giving us a bit of everything. You can get extra UC from their bundles, starting at an extra 8% on the 4.49 GBP, 300 one, with the percentage rising as you buy more. Their bundles are also at least 10% off, giving you much more for less.

For the puzzlers out there, Triple Match 3D offers a revolving, weekly webstore. As a standard, you get 10% more coins on all offers, and they start at 1.79 GBP for 110. I hate to use the analogy, but less than a cup of coffee. The key here is the Market Bonus Sales, however. At the time of writing, it’s 6.99 GBP for 350 coins, an hour of unlimited lives, and some power-ups. I have spent more for less in games.

Whiteout Survival is offering the same value in their deals. The only difference is you get 1 less Frost Star per bundle. 3.99 GBP for 499 and 25 extra, and so on. There is also an exclusive web bundle for 9.99 GBP that gets you 1,998 Frost Stars, but it's only available once.
