Magic: Puzzle Quest for Negative User Reviews
✓ PotentialBut after completing the tutorial I couldn’t do anything, after installing and reinstalling the game. I wasn’t able to claim the free booster pack it says I got. It just sends me to the screen with a blue outline that says CLAIM YOUR BOOSTER PACK and I can’t. Hopefully this gets fixed but for now this game only gets 2* from me.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Fun but crashes too muchWould have been 5 stars if it didn’t crash multiple times a day during battles..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Fun but frustratingI love the game...when it works. I have an iPhone 6s, and according to the developer, my device is supported. However, it crashes CONSTANTLY. I mean since the update to War, I can restart clean from a crash and go straight to a match, and I would estimate I have about a 1 in 4 or 5 chance of being able to play through to win or lose. Mostly I will “lose” because the game will lock up and crash, costing me the time, potions, and charges on the limited events. I have played for a while and have a good collection, and I have overall enjoyed it, which is the only reason I am giving it 3 stars. Historically it would be 5 stars, but right now it’s so frustrating it’s worth more like -2 stars. Eventually I will get a new phone and maybe then I can enjoy it again, but I feel like it shouldn’t be that way. At least admit it doesn’t work on older phones if that’s the case..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Problem since update?I did the update today and I’m no longer to connect to the game....Version: 3.5.0
✓ Game freezes ruin the gameThis app used to be top notch, but since the last update the game randomly freezes. As part of the game, you compete in coalitions, so the game freezes impact them too. Send messages to customer support and get form letters telling you that they will send your concern to the developer. But you never hear back. Brutal..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Rip offI like the idea of this game. I can get over the fact that it crashes at least four times a day. What I can't get over is when I open a fat pack (4 booster packs with 5 cards in each) and I only get 3 new cards. Really? 3 new cards out of 20?! Maybe it'd be fine if you could trade duplicates but hey guess what you can't. So there's 3 cards and the rest may as well have been blank.Version: 1.3.0 (7560)
✓ Too expensive to enjoyIf you want access to all material, it will cost you as much as actual MTG. All planeswalker (not even mentioning the cards) will cost you more than $300 to purchase. You could grind out the crystals, but who has 6 months to spend exclusively playing this app? Other issues include an imbalanced system (the game is unfair to you unless you spend money on it), confusing screen navigation (find the deck builder, go ahead, try), and a HORRIBLE system of explaining abilities. Want to review what those symbols on cards mean? Spend 10 hours playing through each of the expansion tutorials. They’ve made this into a puzzle quest version of magic the gathering. That seems self explanatory until you realize they’ve migrated the same purchasing scheme as mtg: buying $200 booster boxes so you can build a competitive standard deck. The names have changed, but everything feels the same. But hey, it makes nice sounds!.Version: 3.7.0
✓ BuggyHas potential but crash every time a start a game. I don’t recommend the 3.3.1 version..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Got issuesFun implementation with two major problems. 1 - runs slow on my older phone, and crashes constantly. Like, after every match and occasionally during. It’s still more or less playable and I still play it, but probably won’t keep doing so for long. 2 - the menus are mostly huge, eye-bleeding microtransaction ads. They make me feel gross. Tacky stuff..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Only buy if you never plan to upgrade your phoneThis is a well written game that hooks into the Magic universe well. The game gives you lots of free things and encourages you to make any in-app purchases. Given how quickly you can rack up these purchases, it is inexcusable that there is no game center integration, local play or a way of properly synchronising your account. To restore your purchases, you have to force-restart your phone, wait 6 hours and then contact their support team. Woe betide you if you upgrade your phone like I did. You have to sync both devices to facebook, in the right order, to be able to move your save games across. Get it wrong, like I did, and you'll lose all your progress, experience, mastered cards and planeswalkers. You'll also have to endure going through the training program everytime you launch the program until it has a local save. As addictive as Magic the Gathering is, be careful in using this game. It lacks the basic functions we've come to expect from an Apple approved mobile app..Version: 1.10.0.14545
✓ Great but BUGGYStarted playing with no issues, now every time it needs to load it crashes in an endless loop, need to login nope crash, finished a battle nope crash and start it again, need to gain xp nope crash, really frustrating as it is an awesome game, please fix it, Facebook doesn’t even recognise it as being playable on an iPhone so that needs fixing as well..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Crashing mess.With the last update the game crashes mid fight. Good luck getting a decent rank when you lose all your attempts to crashes..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Wait and seeThis app was released way too early. Calling it a beta release would be an insult to other beta releases, this is an alpha release at best. The game may be worth playing after it is fixed, but for now it is an embarrassment to the Awesome Magic the Gathering franchise, I am surprised Wizards of the Coast allow their logo to be used for this app..Version: 1.3.0 (7560)
✓ Latest update the most disastrous yetThis once great game has fallen to ruin over the past year. Neglect and bugs have caused a lot of anger in the community (see the forums) while the new devs struggle to fix things. Every update causes a new set of bugs and some very questionable new pay walls to competitive playability. They’ve put crafting of the top cards behind a $25-50 subscription and some top cards are aimply unobtainable without real money (previously they were only money first then available). It’s a mess and players are leaving the game as a result. Very sad to see it fall apart but D3Go are acting in bad faith and killing the game..Version: 3.5.0
✓ Good game that could be great if they listened to their player base.Enjoy playing but get really annoyed when I grind for enough crystals to open 5 packs of the Forgotten Realms packs possible 25 cards only to get 4 new ones and 21 duplicates ! This has happened a few times now. I wouldn’t mind if I owned most of the card in the set but I only own around 20% so should be getting mostly new ones. Contacted developer who replied with a copied and pasted note basically saying tough. Also the game has a nasty habit of crashing during events and worse whilst opening card packs which is especially annoying when you have paid for the packs and lose everything ! The game could be great if they stopped trying to con people charged a fair amount for items added extra game modes and story paths for each Plainswalker but it seems they are not interested..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Bug ridden and sluggish playI have been a fan of Magic the Gathering for a long time. I was a fan of this game when I first began, but the more cards and mechanics they add the slower and more bugged this game becomes. You will lose event matches because of bugs and crashes and you need to win perfects to get the best rewards. If you are not lucky enough to be able to screen shot the crash then the Devs will not even consider compensation if they do at all. Response is usually thank you for the notification we are aware of the problem and working on it. Do you get compensation for their error? Nope you get screwed into worse prize tiers instead. Two years ago I would recommend this game. Today I say move on to something else, not worth the effort it takes..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Cool conceptI like the look and feel of it. Could become addictive. I think a bit more documentation on what all the cards are would benefit the game. Sometimes I had no idea what the AI was doing to me. Still exciting to play.Version: 1.2.1 (6647)
✓ Crashes every battleThis could be a good game but it crashes at the end of every battle, sometimes part way through. Such a shame but glad I haven’t made any in-app purchases. Deleted because it is sadly unplayable..Version: 3.5.0
✓ HmmmCould do with a more thorough tutorial..Version: 2.7.0
✓ CrashesPoop game always crashes when playing people that’s a much higher level then I am and freezes when winning. This game is always taking wins from me. Poop game....Version: 3.3.1
✓ Won’t even load after the last updateEnjoyed the game up until the last update. Once it was finished downloading the game hasn’t worked since..Version: 4.5.0
✓ BugsSeems to be buggy now Iv hit day 31 to collect rewards. Won't let me collect my last reward instead it just makes my phone play up game play is awesome though..Version: 1.2.1 (6647)
✓ Don't Waste Your Time (Or Money)Imbalanced, underdeveloped and poorly designed game. Still feels like beta months into release. Cards are absurdly expensive and non-pay to win methods of earning packs are painfully slow and grindy, with the ability to recycle entirely useless duplicates into new cards (even at a poor efficiency) being nonexistent. Several features of the app are 'coming soon' (ie non-functional)..Version: 1.4.1.9756
✓ Don’t get sucked inThis game is definitely pay to win. The “random” algorithm used for card acquisition though packs (wether earned or purchased) is complete trash. I don’t know how many times I’ve spent $10, $20 or even $30 in real money only to get 90% duplicates. It’s very frustrating. Sometimes you’ll get duplicates in the same pack. Open a pack of 5 cards and 3 will be the same common card you already have. The developers say the booster crafting feature fixes this, but the proportions are off. Say you get a duplicate Mythic, that’s worth 500 booster crafting points but it takes 5000 in order to craft a new mythic. Just a money sink. If you thought paper magic was frustrating.. This app says, “here, hold my beer.”.Version: 4.7.0
✓ No game progressionAfter a while, the Ai level out scales you too much. Only pvp left, but pvp is also Ai (predictable) and the rewards are tiny, worst of all, the ladder players are also Ai who are designed to be one step ahead of you so you will always be number 2 or 3. Everything is a setup. That's why there's no communication with other players. For a big company like magic the gathering and puzzle quest, this is really disappointing. Don't get it.Version: 1.2.0 (6578)
✓ Crash, Freeze, BoomCan’t finish a round against opponents when the game crashes. Log back in and I have lost all health, have to wait to regenerate. Happens too often to count. When I switch screens to view another app, then open back up, Have to log back in and lost game. Not wanting to play as often, it’s too bad..Version: 3.8.1
✓ RiggedI really enjoy this game but there are issues with it that are very irritating. The battles against 'real' opponents are actually battles against real opponent's decks. The AI controls the deck & the match. This removes the possibility of human error & can stack a game against you. The enemy AI is incredibly 'lucky' the higher the level of the matches. I'm an average skilled player, nothing special, but even I question just how lucky the AI can be in getting mana. It will often pull out several high-powered cards towards the end of a match in which you are thrashing it. There are whole matches where the AI just gets cascade after cascade of gems matched & yet I get none. Maybe I'm a bad player blaming his lack of ability on the game, but I believe the AI needs to be re-written..Version: 1.7.1.12993
✓ I’ve never seen a game that cheats more than this oneWhy is it that card games that use the computer as the second player always feel the need to cheat?!? This game is one of the worst at it. The computer regularly gives itself multiple massive matches multiple times a game while the real player is ever barely allowed to match 3 gems of their planeswalker’s color. It is absolutely amazing how almost every computer deck (“apparently” all made by “real players”) seems to have all the same game breaking rare, mythic, & masterpiece cards while I can only ever pull copies of the same 3 or 4 rare cards. I’m sure it’s “purely coincidental”. And the abilities of the computer during events are GROSSLY over powered, usually to the point of being ridiculously game breaking. So, if you like games that are programmed to go out of their way to cheat in favor of the computer & just royally screw over the player base then this is definitely the game for you. If I could give this game a negative rating I most definitely would..Version: 4.7.0
✓ Great fame destroyed by lame cash grabI’ve been playing this game pretty hard core for six months. Mostly F2P but every now and then I spend a few bucks on a pack. Then all of a sudden they introduce this outrageous new membership plan that, I kid you not, costs more than a freaking new console over a year. I could buy a new Xbox for crying out loud, and this game -while fun-is really problematic. Slowwwwww to load, lots of freezing and bugs, not much interactivity for friends or coalition mates. So much potential but it seems like they have one and a half coders working on this. I get that they need to make money but If they would just charge me $30 I’d pay it! This stupid membership model is a big fail. My coalition mates are openly talking about whether we should find something else to do. Not sure I’d recommend you sink in at this point if you’re new. Building a deck will be a real drag under the new scheme..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Stupid "auto help" mechanic ruins the gameThe game is really great but there's this really annoying "feature" where if you take more than a few seconds to make a move the game highlights a possible move for you. I find it super aggravating and it sucks all the fun out of the experience when the game automatically plays itself for you. The worst part is you can't turn this annoying "help" off! Deleted it after a few games because it felt like I wasn't even playing a game..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Could be better, passes timeI’ve played the card game since revised.. I get the card mechanics and such are altered to fit the puzzle quest format, and I’ve accepted it. There are a few things that stand out a lot. First, is when I do save up enough gold to get premium packs with a bonus rare, it doesn’t make sense that I can open 5 packs with a bonus rare - and end up with two rares total afterwards and some are garbage... but at 3 packs for $10 in the real world I get three rares and more... here I have to spend $15 on 5 packs and can end up with 1 guaranteed - where actual cards have resale value... haven’t decided to go vip yet as I’m fairly certain the prices will not be anywhere near realistic. So I hate to say it is a cash cow... but it definitely feels like it. I would suggest spending elsewhere...Version: 4.3.1
✓ Crash citySince the latest update the game crashes one minute into a duel or while playing in Story Mode. Using iPhone 6 Plus. Boo!.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Pretty fun game, but could be betterFirst of all this games is a blast and I really enjoy playing it. There are a few areas that have room for improvement. The game does a poor job of explaining things. For example, I just purchased a double sided planeswalkers, but I can only use one side of its abilities. There weren’t any clues or explanations about how to activate the second side. Also, when a support card is used it disappears and we no longer see it anymore on both sides. It would be nice to actually see what support my opponent used rather than having it flash across the screen for 2.7 seconds and it’s a paragraph long. Also, why is it that my planeswalkers cap at 60, but the games planeswalkers literally are at like level 118?!? This makes zero sense..Version: 2.9.0
✓ Fun but buggySo buggy. Previous versions have been riddled with bugs and since the 1.3 update, the game is unplayable..Version: 1.3.0 (7560)
✓ Needs immediate fixThe app is suddenly impossible to login into. It logged me out, then told me that Facebook login is unavailable for the app, meaning all my data is lost..Version: 6.2.0
✓ Why the ling wait????I like this game and keep coming back to it....but you are forced to wait ridiculously long periods between matches if your energy runs out in events, current event is 7 or 8 hours...1/2 the time your asleep the other 1/2 your waiting for energy to play again....stupid.Version: 1.9.0.13804
✓ Poorly made but great conceptThings pop up on the screen too fast for you tor and and the starting tutorial kind of pushes you through without explaining much, you mostly just stumble through it. There’s no backstory or lore to introduce characters or what you’re doing in the big (or even small) picture. You just get thrown in, math things and then move onto another fight without much guidance..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Fun but unfinished / heavily bugged gameThis game has clearly been rushed and released without much testing. The prizes in the majority of cases haven't been programmed properly with most of the time it not awarding the prize when you have completed the achievement. The game has potential and is fun if you can look past some fairly glaring bugs..Version: 1.1.1 (5343)
✓ Plagued with many bugsThis game is very involved with different decks of cards and abilities and it seems like no matter how many times I report a bug it never gets fixed. There’s a whole discord channel I’m on in my group and there’s a whole section dedicated to bugs and what to avoid. I was very into the game and spent probably close to over $100 in the few months I’ve played. I’ll never spend another penny on this game. I spent money to get planeswalkers and a couple of them have bugs that basically make you quit a game because of a soft crash that doesn’t allow you to ply any further. I have 20 planeswalkers and can’t use 3-4 of them because of bugs. There’s soooo many cards that are also bugged. I’m extremely close to pulling the plug on this game. The devs do work diligently to put out a good game but have failed to address bugs for many things still. My advice, don’t spend money on the game. It’s far from worth it..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Be prepared to pay for progressionI dunno. It's fun and all. But if you're not willing/can't afford to pay for anything then get ready for one hell of a grind. Don't expect to finish chapter 1 for a while....Version: 2.5.0
✓ Recent update removes enjoymentI'd read a few reviews before I downloaded this game last month to suggest the game was stacked against players who didn't spend £££'s but found it to be fun nonetheless And a game I was willing to make in app purchases for. The recent update removes any balance and asks for more cash to progress. The daily challenges were fun, but now one comes at a cost to win a new "high end" in game currency and the cost to buy packs has also increased dramatically. Even if you do purchase packs, the chance of decent cards is low with a high number of duplicates being obtained instead. I bought a 5 pack of cards and only received one rare in that, and that was high isn't great for the best part of £30. I've also found the in game opponents now seem to get multiple cascades much too often to be coincidence and if you're facing off to a high end (see in app purchased) planes walker then forget it, you'll lose 90% of the time. I'm quite disappointed as I had really started to enjoy the game, but with the odds against you so badly I've had to delete to avoid my own frustration.Version: 1.10.2.15075
✓ It's okGame is good but prices for cards are a joke.Version: 2.2.3.18474
✓ Very poor techIt’s ashamed to see a crash at the end of a match and no point granted for winning. This happened way too often. You will spend a lot of time for nothing, and never get close to full collection. Also crashes in deck building, which is very annoying, especially after latest update. Every time new card set are added, new bugs are added. I don’t see other app crashes that often. They don’t know how to test the app or even then don’t test the app at all. —————— Things even get worse. Almost unplayable, want my time back..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Incredibly hostile designThe game’s initial promise is frequently spoiled by design choices I can only describe as ‘player-resentful’. The game begins to feel like it hates you for playing it. For instance, despite being a game about playing cards will do everything it can to keep you from playing cards. The AI controls your card draw and the board state, so it often feels extremely unfair when you struggle to cast one card while it reaps bonus rounds every turn - like you’re not just having to fight the opponent but the gems too. Members of my guild frequently complain in chat that cards in our deck just DONT show up in matches, like never drawing creature cards even though your deck is 4/10 creatures. These matches just feel like ‘designated losses’, which would be okay (well, less bad) if you had more chances to play certain events or if you had more than three health potions to recover from a loss. As it stands, it just feels dirty. This is aside from the pay-to-win aspects that will make a huge part of the game difficult for new players to access. A new premium currency introduced in the last year has made the problem even worse because it’s ON TOP of a previously existing premium currency. Booster crafting has made things a little better, though I think either crafting costs need to go down or duplicate conversion needs to be higher. Either way, at higher levels you either need to be buying premium currency or not bothering with Events, which is the largest chunk of the game and focuses on PvP. These new crystals are the only way without direct cash payment to get masterpiece cards, and even then frequent card duplication in ALL card packs - including these highest rarity packs you have to pay premium currency for - means you’re often buying a duplicate rare instead of a hoped-for mythic or masterpiece..Version: 3.1.0
✓ GlitchyA glitch after completing the tutorial means I can’t play at all. It says I need to claim my pack, but the claim button is hidden and can’t be accessed. No idea if the game is any good.Version: 5.9.1
✓ -100/10 on a NASCAR scale-100 for all the freezes NASCAR for all the crashes Horribly frustrating game. Download only recommended to masochists..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Magic : LoadingWhatever anything you want to do, you must suffer a loading, even quit a match. And the loading speed is so slow. You should definitely fire the guy who presented such a terrible framework..Version: 2.6.0
✓ A Clever TrapBefore I get into the problems, I will admit- this is a beautiful and fun game to play. The Puzzle Quest game actually works really well, and harmonizes with the play elements of Magic seamlessly. That being said, I hadn’t gotten past the opening chapter before I saw this game for what it is... This is one of the worst offenders of Play-To-Win I’ve ever come across. For one- the rate at which you level up is just behind the rate that opponents grow in difficulty. Forcing the player to either pay for new cards or grind at a mind-numbing rate to get the XP. Secondly, the gems that the computer selects are stacked in their favor. Each move the computer made it was earning mana at 2-3x the rate I was on my best plays. It’s a shame that a really fun and well-built game is not-so-subtly hidden behind the veil of greed and player manipulation..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Love it but...Keeps crashing after last update! Please fix.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Crash and burnWhilst this game is pretty fun, the gold packs are amongst some of the most expensive I've ever seen and the amount of bugs and crashes, which effect your rewards and waste your time and in game energy, are appalling. Crashes at the worst of times constantly. If they fixed these issues it could be 5 stars..Version: 2.1.0.17100
✓ Not bad but balance/matchmaking issuesThis game solo wise isn’t bad if you don’t ever play against another player. The problems come in when you try any player vs player situation. There are levels to your characters that it will match you against people FAR higher level (literally 30+ more HP than you with strong abilities and better cards) Yes AI controls those but because of the totally random nature of the matching game plus random card draw these power differences make it a total crapshoot on if you will have any ability to win. You’re basically playing “hope you got matched against someone weaker!” To be fair I’d say the microtransaction stuff isn’t too bad. It is a CCG so you know what you’re getting in to here, the original big daddies of microtransaction sand constant buying. I can’t really recommend this as trying to play in any of their little events just isn’t fun since you will just be CRUSHED by the matchmaking. Not to mention heaven forbid you don’t play for a bit and then you’re also behind on the latest and greatest cards (but that’s a CCG thing so you know that’ll make you lose anyway)..Version: 3.7.0
✓ Holiday Knight Disappeared!Collected holiday knight but then it immediately disappeared! Please fix, thank you..Version: 3.9.1
✓ Keeps getting worseMore and more glitches and broken cards each update. It seems like every problem they fix, two new problems pop up. Also just went through 30+ booster packs of the newest set without a single rare or mythic card. Booster packs odds have NEVER accurately represented actual drop rates. Not even close..Version: 3.9.0
✓ Could be betterI love the game but it would be better if there were offline features as well as the loading screen to open the game didn’t take so long.Version: 3.5.0
✓ I might of ran into a glitch or a hackI was facing sirRaggi as his life totale was 0 for 5 turns nothing on the board was making him stay alive when I try close the match it wouldn’t let me.Version: 4.9.1
✓ Good, but has issuesBeen playing since release. I’m a huge mtg fan and enjoy this game a lot, however pay to win is rampant and strongly supported by the Dev’s. I have never paid a dime and it took well over a year of consistent playing to ensure I had even a couple solid decks. There’s bugs and glitches, game crashes and freezing, but the core game play is fun and keeps me coming back..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Dont do it. Play another game.I dont write reviews when the game pushes you within the first few days. It allows me to get into the game a bit, and well, I did, and constant it shows constant freezing, cant complete the latter part of the tutorial due to quests not recognizing completion thus you cant progress further. These are reported bugs from other reviews from months ago. Just dont do it..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Pretty Great Except GlitchesThe game itself is fun, loading times are kind of slow. The biggest thing though is this bad glitch I’ve been experiencing on story mode where it takes me to the match but only shows the mana gems on a suddenly very dim screen, it then doesn’t proceed any further making the game unplayable. Even exiting the app and reloading doesn’t help..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Extremely slow & frequent crashingGame is supposed to be compatible with version 9 & later. Playing on my 9.3.5 ipad it is incredibly slow and crashes so frequently that it's not worth it..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Great game, but...Really enjoyed playing this game, till I updated and lost everything and had to start again, very frustrating....Version: 1.3.1 7665
✓ Not happyWas enjoying this game until after winning a battle claiming the rewards etc I log back on a short time later to find, now rewards and I have to fight the same opponent I beat before. And surprise surprise I can’t beat it now. The opposition has now become mega powerful with high damage and high life deck, getting bonuses and multiple matching icons.Version: 2.3.1
✓ STILL no reason to ever spend a dimeI last checked in with this one over a year ago. In that time they have added a lot of cards to the game. There are some interesting deck possibilities now. However, this is still one of the greediest games around. Things cost way too much ($40 US for 30 cards is a SPECIAL offer) and you aren't guaranteed to get even a single card you can use. They really need to change how card distribution works in this game (no duplicates any more would be great since you only ever need one copy of each card) or there is really no reason to ever spend/waste a single penny in here. Also customer service is horrible. I received no rewards for two friends invited to the game, and it took a week of constant back and forth (with them asking for screenshots) before they finally gave me HALF of what I should have gotten..Version: 2.2.3.18474
✓ IntéressantJeux intéressant mais pour les néophytes de Magic comme moi le tutoriel laisse à désirer. Ça fini qu’on ne fait des alignements de couleur comme les autres jeux style candy crush.Version: 4.4.0
✓ Unbalanced to force IAPsComplete rubbish, first proper fight is impossible without buying more cards or freakish luck. Please don't support this type of money-grabbing garbage..Version: 1.1.1 (5343)
✓ Great game but has bugsReally enjoy this spin on Magic, but the consistent bugs, particularly in longer duels, are very frustrating. Most commonly it just gets stuck when selecting a target, but there’s several others. Also bugs out when the AI plays an infinite combo in that the AI really does just play the combo infinitely! Game has a turn meter, but several times I’ve run it down when it’s bugged and it does nothing. Fix the bugs and this gets 5 stars from me..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Janky and pay to winOn emulator or on phone this game is really slow and crash very often. The drop rate on mythic cards is atrocious and not only that but the mythic cards are very op. It will keep making you go against opponents that pay their mythic cards, this is pay to win..Version: 5.7.0
✓ Fun but still needs some workI’ve been playing this game for over a year now and have noticed some great changes (rewards for events, boosters contain a good mix of common - mythic, and boaster crafting), but there are two main things wrong with the game that stand out to me. 1. There are times where I’ll be grinding out a match in an event that only has (for sake of argument) 4 open slots until the slots renew (every “x” amount of hours) and the app will crash, resulting in the use of a slot and the loss of a match. This can be frustrating but I will admit, it has gotten better with time and updates. 2. Booster crafting. This is really frustrating to me because I have “purchased” multiple 300 gold crystal booster bundles, and the duplicate cards show that they are being converted to crafting points or whatever they’re called. However, when I go to craft a rare or mythic that I need/want with said points, they are nowhere to be found... I got the bundles with the knowledge that I would get duplicates, and those duplicates would convert to points that I could use to get what I need, but there seems to be an issue in the coding regarding this. If these two issues would be addressed in the next update or two then I would give this game a 5/5 stars, because in all honesty, it’s the only game I find challenging and fun enough to play for this loge, AND also has the Magic lore with it. I trust it will get better but for now I would give it 3/5.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Other players and a pay to win structure ruin this gameLike MtG? Which part of it? If your answer is infinite combos and making your opponent concede, this game might be for you. Similar in spirit in this regard, once you exhaust the PvE content mtg puzzle quest offers, you will quickly run into a pay wall that other players create by using “Masterpiece” cards like Blue Sun’s Zenith and Omniscience. When used together with a number of other cards, these Masterpieces allow players to build decks that are relatively unbeatable. To combat the fact that some decks can wind up taking infinite turns, the devs implemented a loop timer, but it’s a laughable measure that takes at least 3 minutes of watching your opponent spam all 10 cards in their deck before it finally kicks in. The worst part is that, because of the way mana is generated, it’s frequently possible for these decks to go off on turn one..Version: 3.3.1
✓ It’s okI do think the game is fun but I would still like to see some things added. Like the choosing of a lower tier if you are struggling in an event. I’ve recently tried the jump start event. I felt at first it was going to be an ok event. Until I fought the green plainswalker in it. I look everywhere on how he got his creatures up so fast in power and how he got to keep hexproof on that same creature and found nothing. That runaway creature caused me to loose the battle very early into the battle. I see no time limit on when I can try again. I want the final reward but I don’t see any way to get it if I keep having to fight this guy with what feels like an unfair deck..Version: 5.8.0
✓ CrashSalut depuis la dernière mise a jour le jeux chute en moins de 1 minute sur I pad. Rien a dire de plus.Version: 3.6.0
✓ No money to spend? Skip this one.This was a fun game to play. I’ve been playing for years. Recent changes have been made that are marginalizing players who don’t spend money on the game, making it harder to be competitive in tournaments and fun events with good prizes. You get free cards and boosters, it’s true, and if you’re just doing the in game story quests, it’s ok; but competitively, you’ll be behind the curve of many other players. There is also no limit to the number of mythic and higher level cards per deck, these are the heavy hitters; there have been a few matches where if I had not been first, I wouldn’t have had any turns at all. My kids (who love the idea of the game) get frustrated with constantly losing or having to try to make competitive decks with what we have that they’ve given up. I’m right behind them. Too bad. We never expected to be the best, we just expected a good time. Edit: you can see from their response to my review exactly how much they care about long term players who can no longer spend money on the game. Tech support is not relevant..Version: 4.7.0
✓ ManipulativeThe rate at which it keeps asking if you “like” the game, i.e. fishing for a review but not taking you to the review page if you say no, is very frustrating. It very much needs a “don’t ask me this again” option..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Good gameplay but laggy and buggyThere are heaps of bugs, game crashes and it's really laggy. Needs a few more releases before we will see a polished version. However it's still playable and a decent game..Version: 1.3.0 (7560)
✓ Not fun anymoreI used to really enjoy digging in and collecting the cards and saving the crystals to get new planeswalkers .... ( key point - used to ). This game is so crappy and time consuming now with the new cards where you’re literally left watching your computer opponent perform endless chains and destroying your cards so you’re essentially stuck watching this play out ( seriously 10mins watching it chain - then 1 turn for me- another 10mins for cp then destroying all my cards... until ultimately you get killed. Not to mention the timing of this. Happens a lot but seems to happen more when you’re trying to finish tournament with a time limit that’s when it will kIck in. Don’t know what the developers were thinking adding such a stupid mechanic to this. Needless to say I won’t be wasting any more time on this drivel. Much better rewarding games out there. It was good before - total crap now. Well done developers. Don’t waste your time..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Not a friendly game nor a MTG style gameThis game allows combo over 20 sec and over 10 cards drawn from the opponent. Combo should be allowed under the control of a human player, while cut quickly when is in charge..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Pluses and minusesI’ve been playing this game for about two years. I’ve never spent a dime (not that I haven’t been tempted to) but staying the course allowed me to build up a decent deck and I’ve won more than lost. The challenge of battling while also playing match-three is right up my alley. I have thoroughly enjoyed this game. Unfortunately with the new Ixalan update I now get a win about once out of every 8 games. I’ve noticed that the AI has changed and gives numerous cascades to the game and I am frequently left with one match-three that is not my primary or even secondary colors. What used to be a nice way to get a match or two in during my 15 minute breaks has become a back and forth battle of 30 minutes for one match, and I still lose. I also have stopped getting new cards in both the two hour booster and from my daily log ins. Again, I haven’t paid for anything, so it’s not like I’ve collected all of the available cards - as of this writing I have 805 of the available 1636. Now, I am a little more willing to understand this change because that’s what the Booster Building tool is for, but my odds of getting at least one new card should be in my favor. When opening my free daily-login booster of 15 cards the other day I got nothing new. Still, it’s a good game. I won’t be paying anything and I’m going to eventually build my deck. It just appears it’s going to be a slow go..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Absolute TrashWhere to begin? lets start off with the fact that you don’t actually control your creature cards in the battlefield. They act completely on their own. You don’t get to chose if the attack the opponent or the opponents creatures. All the pop ups during the tutorial and the cards you draw and effects and spells that are cast only stay on the screen for literally one second. It make it so you can’t even read them to keep up with what is happening during the battle. This game was so horrible it was a chore to even want to play past the three battle tutorial. Although it only took me about fifteen minutes to complete the tutorial, I want that fifteen minutes of my life back. The only relation or commonality this game has to Magic the Gathering is it’s title. Please don’t do as I did and waste time downloading and playing this game, keep the precious fifteen minutes of your life..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Love the game but crashes A LOTI love this game; I even had it on my tablet until it couldn’t run it anymore and I lost everything. Now I have it on my iPod. It crashes often; at the end of matches generally, but a lot during the middle of events, which automatically fails you despite the fact you’ve done nothing wrong. You feel the frustration more and more of you get deep into this game. It’s really fun when it works, but frustrating when it’s not..Version: 3.9.1
✓ CrashSince the uptade it’s always long open the app , start game in event, buying product and editing deck. I am using a Iphone 7.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Nothing like MagicI love Magic: The Gathering and I thought it looked cool that there was finally a new developer taking over from the appalling Stainless Games. Unfortunately, this is worse, Magic: The Gathering is loved for it's deep complexity and intuitive gameplay but this is simply Candy Crush with a Magic theme. Almost every action (outside the Candy Crush which is 90% of the game) is done for you so you have no control over the game. This is an offensive joke to Magic players and offers a boring and badly designed game. Step it up Wizards (of the Coast)..Version: 1.2.1 (6647)
✓ BuggyThis is a great addictive game, but.... please fix the crashing issues, I’m stuck on a loading screen in training grounds. Yesterday it it didn’t even recognize my account. Fix the lags, loading server issues or you will start losing players..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Since the updateI’m happy to say that now I can’t even finish a match cause if there is more than one chain it almost always crashes! Just what I want out of a puzzle game, waiting to see how many times my ai opponent crashes the game one turn before I would win. But hey the added a pay to enter vip element so thats good right?.Version: 3.4.0
✓ Poor GameThe computer players are so overloaded, it's discouraging. The AI players are rigged and clearly favor them when it comes to matching tiles. It's so frustrating that I've resisted throwing the iPad across the room several times when an seemingly impossible win by the computer comes from nowhere..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Extreme monetizationThe game itself is really fun however the dubious ways the publisher tries to separate players from their money makes me really, really dislike it. While buying real MTG cards will also yield at least one rare or better card per pack not so with this one. You can easily spend $30 on card packs and not get a single unique valuable card such as a rare or mythic. How is that? You’ll get lots of duplicates of cards you already own. And most typical packs don’t guarantee higher rarities at all. For example, I’ve barely owned any cards of certain sets and when I opened 15+ new packs in each I got nearly all commons and uncommons of cards I already owned. And multiple dupes of the one rare I already owned. This has happened so many times for me. Yes, dupes get you material to craft missing cards but the material needed is very high (poor conversion rate) AND any cards you craft will be completely random in that sets. So you probably will never get what you want unless you spend thousands of dollars and get thousands of dupes. Just stick to actual MTG or Arena. Your money will be far better spent. I really regret giving this greedy company a single dime. Whoever designed this monetization should be forced to walk across LEGO bricks barefooted for every step, every day of their lives and eternally in the afterlife. SHAME!.Version: 5.1.2
✓ Good game, but...This is a great game. It’s fun, challenging, and worthy of spending a good chunk of time on. However, it has its downsides. The most prominent problem as of the time of this review is the insanely low chance of getting anything rare or above, and masterpieces are just out of the question. I’ve saved up the crystals to purchase countless premium packs of standard sets, only to have the one rare card in the whole pack to be the guaranteed rare that is included when you purchase that pack. Not to mention, 50% of the time, that ONE rare card you get is a duplicate. That is, of course, unless you pay to play, which I just don’t have the funds for. Anyway, another major problem since the Ixalan update is the crashing. The app crashes after maybe 10 minutes of play, and then goes into a seemingly endless loop of title screen-crash-reset, until I do a hard reset of my phone. This is a problem. These are the two biggest ones for me. Overall, this is a great game that I’ve been playing since launch, and I understand problems arise with each new version iteration. Hopefully they get taken care of soon! Other than that, keep up the good work devs!.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Game crash a lotThe game quit almost every match.Version: 3.7.0
✓ Game play and boostersCan not get my 2 hour free booster anymore. Game crashes constantly. Have reset app, reset phone, updated app, made sure phone was updated. Again reset app, reset phone and still nothing. As previous reviews AI has become too difficult to beat. Never giving me playable mana in my color for whichever planes walker I choose. I’ve spent over a month trying to upgrade my planeswalkers levels and still no change. It seems my AI opponent always gets a windfall of mana with extra turns yet my turns never end up with 3-6 mana catches. While they get 15-30 and continually raise their combat levels. I can barely run 1-2 planes walker spells per game. Am starting to get very bored with the game and if it doesn’t change I will be deleting it soon..Version: 2.6.0
✓ ProblemSince yesterday i can’t log in with my facebook account. All my progress lost. Struggle to find a solution so far..Version: 2.9.0
✓ Pay to WinThe only reason I’m giving MTG puzzle quest three stars is because it’s a pay to win game. Beyond that, for the people who pay it’s really expensive. The best pack of cards you can buy is worth 280 in game currency (about $15 US dollars) and gives you 5 packs, 25 cards total (mostly commons and uncommons) with a bonus guaranteed rare (which can end up being a duplicate). I can’t help but compare it to mtg tcg. A pack of cards costs $4-5 US dollars and you receive 15 cards including a guaranteed rare/mythic, and three uncommons. It’s a shame really; this game has some deep strategy that I can respect and enjoy, but if you want to compete, you have to pay the man. I wish games were more about letting players enjoy the game to it’s full extent, rather than fill the owners’ pockets to their full extent..Version: 2.3.1
✓ UpdateAfter latest update game freezes after battle at Objectives screen.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Cheap money grab nowI loved this game up until this latest update. It had a good and sustainable F2P model for a long time. But I guess t wasn’t profitable now, so they’ve introduced a monthly subscription based VIP system. You wanna know how much the top tier costs? $30/mo!! Outrageous!! That’s more than virtually any MMO with a ton of content charges! Now this would have been acceptable and easy to ignore if it wasn’t for the fact they removed so much of the F2P aspect thy made the game viable if you didn’t want to pay. They removed all the Rising Tensions events which made it possible for F2P users to acquire premium currency pink gems and mythic cards. And on top of that the drop rates on the free boosters was greatly nerfed. The likelihood of drawing a rare card dropped from 21% to 5%. A mythic dropped from 5% to 1% and a masterpiece from 1% to .07% Corporate greed wins again 👎.Version: 3.4.0
✓ BuggyFor at least a year, my account is frozen. I delete the game after trying to get past the vault screen, and then download and try again. Monthly. When I open the app, it takes a few minutes to load data. Once loaded, it brings me to a pop up screen saying I can collect a vault reward for completing the tutorial, forces me to enter the vault screen, and then says for me to hit claim on my rewards...there is a bouncing arrow over an empty box with dashed outlines. There is no box or words within the outline. I have tapped every millimeter of my screen to avoid entering the vault from the pop up as well as within the vault pop up. If I could only claim my prize, then I could use the UI. As it stands, I am locked out of the UI being forced into a dead end popup for the vault. I am tired of redownloading this game over and over again to see if this has been fixed. It appears there have been many updates on this game, so it must just be my account and bad luck. I can’t find mention of this bug in the app support or reviews. Unfortunately, I’ll download this game next month and rebuild my frustration, as I am an avid magic fanatic..Version: 3.6.1
✓ BuggyI’m sorry to the developers who’ve clearly worked hard, I just left a review on your card game with the same issues on this one. IT KEEPS CRASHING. I have a 4 month old iPhone 13 Pro Max - plenty of space on it. This is a software issue. I would be happy to try this again with some recommendations from the developer.Version: 5.9.1
✓ A good game but unfortunately worthlessFirst things first: DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY ON THIS GAME. I haven’t spent a dime of my own money on it, and I eventually reached a point where you cannot advance any further. They only let you level up your characters to a certain point and eventually you reach opponents who are completely overpowered. Spending money will only get you there faster. It would be nice if you got the sense that the makers of this actually gave thought to the people playing the game and providing those players with a fun time, but I imagine those developers only care about the $$. Play this game, sure, but know that eventually you will want to stop playing because the fun and sense of achievement you get from getting past THIS or THAT opponent will be replaced by a sense of impossibility and pointlessness. And let me make this point one more time: DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME..Version: 4.1.0
✓ Constant network connection requiredNo 'local play' option available (100% of the time you must be connected to the internet) and no option to skip tutorial. The game lost me within two minutes to those key issues. What animations I did see are really nice and the use of sublime MTG art is always welcome. There is potential here for a solid puzzle quest. Just let it develop a bit more..Version: 1.4.1.9756
✓ Just like the real game.Been playing this for a few months now. Many complaints. The app is very play to win. Somebody that has invested money into getting gems etc. Will have better cards, a better planeswalker, and better ranking than you. All this because they have money to spend. So either you grind forever in the hopes of getting something good. Or just buy everything and win every game with your full mythical deck. Koth goes hand in hand with the above. His ability basically automatically refills itself and he gets about 12 mana from red matchups. Near impossible to beat with the weak standard decks they give you. They removed the quick play mode, so now you can literally only play through events which often have overpowered or bad matchups for you. Going to be playing against a lot of those paid for mythic decks. Good luck. Basically. Unless your lucky then this game will grind you down until you delete it..Version: 2.1.1.17106
✓ Unfair AdvantageThis game shows a lot of promise. However, it gets really frustrating when you only get one thing to line up with no combos following. Then the NPC and has their turn and low and behold they get combo after combo and have a full army and spells before you even get a chance to blink. I like the concept, just needs a fairer AI put in place to be great..Version: 1.1.1 (5343)
✓ Magic the crashingThe last couple of updates had increased the instability, but this one has perfected the problem. It won't even load anymore. Well done. I presume the next upgrade will stop the icon from displaying - hang on, I can implement that feature myself... And unlike the game, that works..Version: 1.9.0.13804
✓ CrashingThe app keeps crashing since I updated it before the update it was working fine!!!.Version: 5.3.1
✓ CRASHES SO MUCHThis game would be fun if it didn’t ALWAYS CRASH!.Version: 4.3.1
✓ Will not log inThis new update has made it so you can’t sign in. Very upset. Great game but if it not crashing it’s not allowing you to log in.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Crashes a lotKeeps randomly crashing every other games..Version: 3.4.0
✓ "Loading" way too oftenThe game has too many moments when it loads and it takes too long to load as well. The AI takes forever to take its turn quite often also. If the game were much more refined optimised, then I think I'd enjoy it more..Version: 1.2.1 (6647)
✓ Really bad freezes recentlyPlease fix the resent freezes. Freezes are most common with “ob nixilis” but I’ve had the game freeze with most characters have to quite and lose progress when it happens, usually when I’m winning. Otherwise a great game.Version: 3.7.0
✓ Could be great, but crappy engine and luck based progression hold it back.The good: variety of magic cards, fairly faithful representation of them in the game. Interesting Match3 mechanics with the cards, variety of deck strategies at higher levels of play. The bad: This runs on the same crappy engine that D3 uses in MarvelPuzzleQuest, so expect memory leaks & game crashes at the worst times, wiping out a winning match and rewards, wasting your heal potions (I won a big match today, then the app crashed after the fight just before the rewards came in, of course restarting it assumed a loss for me). Card progression system is luck based, so be prepared to shell out money or play forever to get your perfect decks. UI is terrible... just awful. Customer service is non-existent... I imagine they learned their lesson from MPQ and decided against community interaction. Great as a fun distraction, just don't get too sucked in or attached, it's not worth your sanity..Version: 2.2.3.18474
✓ Don’t Get Sucked InI have played this game from its initial release with Origins. I have quit playing 4 times when the creators make the game harder and harder. The AI on this game is crazy. You can NEVER get mana unless you put your own convert cards in the decks. And you still watch the AI cascade match after match getting 40-50 mana per turn and you get 3 planeswalker gems. I wish I was exaggerating. Once again I am quitting this game. Every time I come back in hopes that they have eased up on the insanity of the AI and find that it is worse than before. I am in the top 15 in my coalition. I have spent the money, I have the cards. Still absolutely no fun to play when I am swearing at my phone. Get a grip creators. And if you’re new, and need magic, hopefully they will soon put arena on portable devices. Or go to your local store and play. This game is just too hard. And if you say cascades can happen on either side. You haven’t played your own game recently. Not only do you control the cascade, you have somehow found a way to make converting up to 10 gems of the same color gain zero mana. Also your match suggestions are more to benefit the AI than the player..Version: 3.1.0
✓ IOS 16 onlyHow dreadful that the update requires a version of iOS that I can’t load on my iPad. I’ve been playing for a couple of years and enjoy it. But I can’t get past the automatic update page only to find that my version of iOS is incompatible…..Version: 6.1.0
