MARVEL Puzzle Quest: Hero RPG for Negative User Reviews
✓ Don't waste your moneyIt's a fun game, but you have to spent a bundle of cash to be competitive. Don't waste your time.Version: 135.0.413633
✓ Confusing and too much lights!All I see in this game is colourful flashes!! I don’t know who is attacking or when can the character do special attack the flashing light just takes everything away.Version: 189.0.502356
✓ Very unappealing gameplayIt’s not very flowing and I wish there was more appealing action with the abilities. It felt very staggering and even when I won just the small box saying you won is not very appealing at all..Version: 256.0.605757
✓ Disappointing after each updateThe devs continue to make the game harder, characters abilities weaker (nerfing), rewards for in-game ranking worse and rewards for completing games worse. Baffling how this continues to happen with each update making gameplay less enjoyable..Version: R194.0.512380
✓ Not that goodIt seems to make you go to purchase every chance it gets. Rather play the game instead of being directed to spend money.Version: R61.0.234612
✓ And...I quitThis used to be my favourite game, I love collecting stuff and enjoyed building my roster. But since they’ve decided to hand upgrades and game design to a monkey with a keyboard I think I’m now done. Eyes can no longer focus properly on the gems in the match game, there are more greedy $60-$120 in-game purchase bundles than $3-$10 ones, and with the recent update it’s practically impossible to navigate now. So, thanks for the memories...but I’m tapping out..Version: 226.0.570305
✓ UnplayableTried to play through the tutorial after a recommendation from Marvel Insider. Am stuck at a point where it is asking me to use an in game item that I do not have and can not obtain. After trying to delete the app and start over I contacted support as this did not work and was told the only fix is to factory restore my phone. What a joke. I’ve played many iOS games and this is certainly a first from a lazy support team. If this is a glimpse of things to come, I don’t think I want to complete the tutorial..Version: 148.0.433198
✓ Latest update is awfulAP colours are harder to distinguish on the darker background especially now that they are sort of translucent. Someone didn’t read the accessibility guidelines. The fade effect on AP per turn is pretty annoying too. Eyes having to constantly adjust when it’s your turn as if you couldn’t work this out without this effect before. Larger symbols on the AP to let player know which colours are your strongest is pretty annoying too. If you don’t know which colours are your strongest look at your team’s characters. Sorry, but really don’t like it. Worst update so far. Why fix something if it isn’t broken. The game stayed pretty much the same for years and that was fine. But in the last year or so you kept adding new characters and new features like that useless Supports thing or the Skins thing (which seems to have disappeared again) and basically players have no chance of ever getting all the characters and “older” characters only getting used once in a blue moon. Not sure if after almost five years of playing I want to continue playing now. Everything just looks cheap and like a copy of Candy Crush..Version: 223.0.563285
✓ Recent changes have directly harmed playersThis game is fun. But recent changes have been thinly veiled money grabs at the expense of player progression and fairness. The developer has recently introduced “solutions” to well known issues, but in truth, they’ve used these changes as an excuse to take away other player friendly features or reduce in game resources. If these solutions had been added to existing mechanics and not come at the expense of existing rewards, they may have actually been effective as solutions (while also allowing the developer to further monetize the game). As implemented, the solutions resulted in one step forward and too steps back. Poor implementation made the changes come across as dismissive of long time players and a pure money grab. It’s unclear if that was the intent of the developers, but at the least it indicates huge blind spots in their development process. Also, a note to the developers: touting the positives of a change in game play and trying to bury the negatives is not a good look. You will he found out and it further weakens built up goodwill in the player base. Trust is hard to earn, but easy to lose..Version: R192.0.508345
✓ Unable to connect - constantly asks for internet connectionSince the latest update, the game will not connect. It states ‘check internet connection’. Please provide updated app.Version: 156.0.447397
✓ Terrible serviceLet's start with that on a fundamental level, this is a great game. However, recent updates only penalise loyal players (like me) who have played since the beginning. This is designed to force you toward spending money to benefit from the rewards you work so hard for. Much worse, however, is that the service when issues are raised is appalling - stock answers and nobody is willing to think beyond this as to how to help. I now refuse to spend any money on the game, and if it means it becomes unworkable so be it.Version: 156.0.447397
✓ What were you thinking?As a long term player of the game, over 6 years, I want to let you know just how awful the new update, R223, is. Question, did the people who decided to release it ACTUALLY play the game first? The specials on the tiles are harder to see, charged tiles are almost indistinguishable when they need to stand out and the AP bar that lets you know when you have enough to fire the power is too subtle. But worst of all... the dimming! Why on earth does the screen dim on the opponent’s turn? It hurts my eyes and is just superfluous. You would not turn the brightness up and down on your TV when you were watching, so why would you do so in a game? Please fix these issues or risk losing a LOT of players. If you’re insistent on keeping that damned dimming, make it so players can turn it off like Character Effects and Tile Physics. A game needs to be enjoyable and this is the worst update for a long time..Version: 223.0.563285
✓ Game's good but updates are irritatingLike playing the game but find all the mandatory updates really annoying and them come through what feels like every 10-15 days. I choose not to have auto updates on my phone and the game won't give me the option to continue playing on the old version if I don't have a decent internet connection so the update takes a while and the space required means a lot of the time it doesn't work without me deleting something else. Please just leave it alone!.Version: 142.0.425294
✓ Played every day for 7 years, the a horrible update...I loved this game for daily distraction and slow but sure progression. Just the right balance of strategy and simple matching. But this last update made the tiles difficult to see, the constant dimming and brightening gives me a head ache, and it’s hard to tell when you have a power ready to fire. The overhaul, which seems to be randomly aesthetic, makes the game unplayable. Why on earth did they not test on people with different sight issues? Even if they fix it, I’ve lost my loyalty to a designer that doesn’t think about older eye sight, light sensitivity, colour blindness or a simple range of users..Version: 223.0.563285
✓ The game Hardlocked meWhen I got to the page where it asked me to put in my username, it wouldn't work. Basically, I would type my name and it wouldn't show up in the bar for inputting the name. This might be because I'm on ipad. Not sure..Version: 259.0.610245
✓ Great concept... but monetization steals the showUpdate 2: the shards issues are in the past and I would have come to increase my score after certain UI updates... but then they ruin the token screens. Why? To make it convoluted and easy to make accidental payments. Please for the love of god change it back!!! Because of this my 1/5 remains Update: Shards continue to ruin this game. Replacing covers and giving me no championed progression rewards in return is truly screwed up. Still a 0.5/5 game I started playing not too long ago. I actually really loved the game. Ive been playing the game without spending money and it is very addicting and entertaining. However, with the removal of the bonus hero system for the card system, D3 is about to lose me as a player. It is another cheap shot at making it harder to get characters without spending money. The agressive monetization of the game is the only reason it one star instead of five. It makes it almost unplayable and barely fun with the new unlock system. Bring back bonus heroes please. And make the game less pay to play for us players who dont have the disposable income to pay to win..Version: 219.0.556184
✓ Thank youJust wanted say thank you for breaking Facebook backup and restore functions. After spending lots money to unlock slots and moving to new phone and can’t restore my roster on 75 players. I will no longer spend any more money on this app..Version: 264.0.617994
✓ GreedyAfter playing this game for bout 4 an a half year spent a bit can’t afford to most of the time so I purely have to plug away doin every battle for little reward an still I keep going this games seems to be constant money to be able to enjoy this game an some of the characters omg there so many it’s unreal feel really hurt that been playing this long supporting plugging away year after year that think time give up in an go unless you’ve got deep pockets prepare to feel used with plenty on money great game and 12 days of Christmas I can’t do because I don’t have the money so that ruins that.Version: 142.0.425294
✓ Great Game but needs better version supportThis is a great game that I have played about 3 months worth now. It’s a lot of fun and the strategy and hero collecting makes for interesting gameplay and fun collecting. Getting a new hero (or villain) and finding ways to incorporate their powers into a team is interesting. The thing that prevents me from giving this game 4 or 5 stars is that there isn’t any proper iPad support. The game really needs landscape support in iPad (a style already available on the steam version of the game) and at the very least proper scaling for the portrait mode. There are essentially black bars on the sides of the game on iPad because it’s just a blown up iPhone version not a proper iPad upscale. The other thing is that the early game is very slow as you need to get roster spots to get new heroes. This is done by either being very patient and slowly gaining Hero Points to buy roster spots or just paying real money for HP to get those roster spots. The early game is unforgiving in this way and I think balancing the game to not encourage early spending would be better and possibly attract more players to stick with the game..Version: 213.0.546496
✓ Worst updateI’ve been playing for years and yes, there are lots of flaws with the game, like only getting a two star cover as a random reward for a hard fight, but now I can hardly look at the board and tell the tiles apart. The colours used to pop and picking out matches was easy but now they just look muddy. This might be my stopping point..Version: 223.0.563285
✓ Update sucksThe new UI in battles is the worst. It's so dark and I can barely see anything I'm doing. And to make it worse it darkens it more when the enemy makes a move. Barely playable.Version: 223.0.563285
✓ Fun challenging gameplay! Horrible interface :( Post release character powers changes :((Marvel Puzzle Quest (MPQ) is a fun challenging game that adapts well to your current level to give you the chance to progress in PVE and PvP and enjoy the game while discovering Marvel heroes and vilains abilities along the way! Alliance events are also very fun ! They require a reasonable time investment from all the members of your alliance while encouraging the them to communicate to unite their efforts to get the event rewards that are usually very interesting :)) I would have given this game a 4-5 stars if it was not for the following reasons : - The rate of new character releases is a bit too frantic and the time needed to get all rewards in their 3/4 days Pve events is a bit too much for anyone who is busy in real life. Personally, I would slow down the release rate of new characters and remove one iteration on each mission in the PVE events. - Also getting the characters you really want is a bit too tedious. I know it has to be challenging but not when it feels like you loose the fun of playing to get them - games should always stay fun and not become a chore. - The amount of ISO needed to upgrade your characters vs the rate at which you get it is very unbalanced leaving you with a lot of under leveled characters (especially the 4* ones) - They recently made horrible kiddish changes to the gameplay interface (large 3D tiles that kind of dime out when the enemy is playing). Many players complained about this new UI and nothing changed on the newest version. - And last but not least ... Beware ! The company may decide to change any character powers and abilities after their release so you could end up losing the precious time and money that you put to get and upgrade a character you wanted to have in your roster to help you progress in the game. That happened to me on 2 of my upgraded 3* characters ... This is over frustrating and leaves you with the feeling of having been ripped off ... I hope the developers eventually fix these annoying issues so the game would become even better (and I will gladly adjust my rating accordingly) But overall, this game is worth playing if you’re looking for an excellent tile matching game and you like Marvel superheroes and vilains :)) Have fun !.Version: 224.0.565074
✓ Top and bottom bars on iPhoneApp still doesn’t use all iOS and iPadOS screen size in 2023….Version: 293.0.666392
✓ Fun But Roster Issues Hinder the ExperienceBeing a massive fan of Infinite Interactive’s Puzzle Quest Series, Marvel Puzzle Quest is the perfect mashup of two of my favourite genres - almost! The game has an impressive roster of heroes and villains from the Marvel universe but only offers you limited slots on your roster. To buy more slots, you need to spend a currency known as Hero Points which isn’t exactly handed out like candy. What’s worse is the more slots you keep buying, the higher the price required. For additional slots, I need to spend 1000 Hero points which is exorbitant. In the beginning it was manageable but now you get a new character released every few weeks which creates two problems: the Hero slot issue I mentioned and the probability of getting a cover for a Hero you want or have drops due to the amount of other heroes in the potential draw. I can’t really recommend this game at the moment due to this issue..Version: 137.0.416649
✓ Pay to winYou can’t get anywhere without paying. If it were a little more subtle with the pay to win would be a fun game..Version: 177.0.480432
✓ If you play; don’t payI know developers need to get paid, but in the long run it is not worth it to pay in this game, with one exception. This game is constantly be updated with new content, which sounds good but is not due to the way you level up heroes. As the hero roster increases, it becomes more difficult to level up a character as the chances to get a hero card decreases. Also, they have this horrible leveling system that forces you to sell duplicate hero cards and give you basically nothing in return. And it’s made even worse due to the limited number of heroes you can have at any time and that duplicate heroes, which you may need later, expire. Regardless of how much you pay, you need to grind, a.k.a. Play the game over and over again just for a few rewards. It's not fun to play the same thing 4 times in a row, then time it just right to play 2-3 more times. Then there's the cheating. The AI gets insane chains, especially when it's losing or you are denying it a color it needs. And what’s even worse and where paying is worth it, if you pay a monthly fee, the AI cheats less. So you need to pay for the game to not cheat! If you still plan to play, go to Reddit for tips. And if you aren’t going to pay, remember that you have a long grind ahead of you, so make decisions for the long haul and avoid instant gratification. E.g. do not open any legendary cards until you are in the 3 to 4 star transition..Version: 146.0.429972
✓ So hard to get character slotsThis would probably be one of my favourite games if you didn’t have to pay ridiculous amount of coins for space in your roster. I’m a collector on these games more than anything, have every character in strike force without spending a penny. Been a graft but I don’t mind working for it when it’s not paying stupid amounts of in/out game cash. I think I’ll stick with all the other Marvel games.Version: 176.0.478835
✓ Bad new interfaceWasting space with duplication while also complicating the Home Screen..Version: 226.0.570305
✓ Something has changedUsed to LOVE (LOVE LOVE!!) this game but they’ve changed it recently and all of a sudden the amount computer combo moves are astronomical and in the Deadpool daily I’m now always being killed off by weaker computer opponents (thanks to combo moves and the opponents always magically getting enough gems to use their powers 2-3 times more often than I can use mine.) I’ve invested a few hundred dollars (at least) over the last couple of years and have been playing consistently and maintaining a VIP subscription in addition to purchases. But the game is frustrating now because of the cheats. Not fun and such a shame. Hate to walk away from the investment (and potential future purchases, Marvel!) but the game is no longer fun. Losing is not fun, fyi. Not sure what purpose that serves for the company or the player. Seems like a lose-lose. A shame. Used to be my go to game. Back to Candy Crush I guess 😒. I also have over 3mil in iso which is pretty much useless. Pretty sure the developers aren’t actually playing the game themselves. Oh well, from now on neither am I. Lose-lose..Version: 178.0.481927
✓ Message to developersYou cannot get anywhere without spending money. Every event or versus match you are drawn against teams that are far more powerful and have abilities that wipe out all if not most of your hp in one go. What’s the point in a game where you play for 2 mins get killed then have to wait hours for characters to heal. Fed up of going into battle where one of their characters level is higher than all mine combined Unless you want to invest a fortune you won’t get far at all and it takes all the fun out of it. The last update has made it even worse. Have had several occasions where the AI goes on an impossible run of matches to win from a seemingly impossible position. The latest story is a joke being destroyed every time when fighting characters 30-40 levels lower because of the ridiculous powers you have given them. Also 700 coins for one slot are you kidding??? So you release more and more characters make all new levels subject to having one or all of these characters then want to charge everyone what is in effect £6 for them. PURE GREED!!!!.Version: 145.0.428779
✓ So soReally enjoyed this game couple years ago but to many poor changes and ads stuffed in. It’s ok now but no longer play.Version: 173.0.474908
✓ So close yet so farIf you want a match 3 game with some interesting mechanics and the awesome marvel universe, and you are happy for slow pace and aren’t worried about competition then this can be played FTP and it’s a solid game. However, the devs have monetised everything and even relatively straight forward game functions are more convolute than needed to allow further monetisation. The latest mechanic to combat the crazy bloat of characters that makes it almost impossible to get the characters you want to play with (or HAVE to have to be competitive) is Shards. Gradually earn the chosen characters... but rather than have buckets of shards at different tiers they are character specific. I enjoy the core game, but am stuck in a loop where I can only progress by spending money... and there are some painful traps if you level up the wrong characters if you PvP. But if you are only going to play casually then it is fun.Version: R192.0.508345
✓ Good work on keeping people away from playing this gameI play this game every once a while, every time I open it, it tells me there is a update available, and forces me to update it. While waiting I start to play something else on my phone and forget about it. Two weeks later, the thing happens all over again :).Version: 150.0.437413
✓ It’s gotten a bit boring and it’s not that fun anymoreThe game started off with being good to getting a bit boring and the only reason is that the gameplay takes too long and it’s not as fun as marvel strike force or contest of champions and I’m very disappointed that it’s become not so fun anymore, if you change it a bit and add a cinematic story mode to it then I might redownload it but in the mean time, I suggest new players to think twice before getting this game..Version: 173.0.474908
✓ Getting worse with each updateGame getting worse with each update, too many excessive animations that slow down the game and hurts your eyes, the maker should make the players be able to spend more time be able to palt and thus actually spend money for purchase. Ease up on the flash and colors and improve function and speed.Version: 242.0.589213
✓ MehIt's an ok game if you either like super slow grind to try and level or are willing to spend a lot of money..Version: R102.0.345190
✓ Data goneBeen playing the game for years yet has decided to wipe all my data and I can’t get it back. Can’t say I’m impressed with it. Received no help when contacting support either. Shame as it was a great and fun game to play..Version: 151.0.439066
✓ Bring back purchasing standard recruit tokensIn an earlier version there was an option to buy standard recruit tokens with iso. Is there any chance this feature will be making a comeback? With over 500k in iso I really wish there was a way to spend it on other things than just power ups and iso colour..Version: 231.0.576516
✓ Banned for no reasonI really enjoyed this game. I once accidentally misclicked and bought $100 of packs. When i asked for a refund i received the money back. BUT then my account was banned and i cant join online multiplayer games or join an alliance. Very strange customer service 😩.Version: 264.0.617994
✓ This game hates you. Avoid at all costs.This game will pretend to be fun for the first few hours/levels and tell you that you can build whatever team you want but in reality if you don’t accept every character they give you you won’t have high enough level characters to win the dark avengers story. The skill curve goes from fighting 3 level 40 characters at once, which is kinda manageable if you have 3 characters above level 40 with all 3 of their individual moves sets unlocked, to fighting one character that’s level 140 and can eliminate you’re entire team with one move. Even if you accepted all of the character unlocks in the earlier story missies and had them all upgraded I’m certain the final lvl140 would be impossible to beat without buying higher level characters. I will never understand why so many mobile games make you feel like you shouldn’t want to play it. They want you to hate the game until you buckle and fork over stupid amounts of money just to keep playing..Version: 261.0.614319
✓ Support for iPad substantially reducedThe gameplay is pretty good, and there are some interesting choices to be made. There are multiple issues that mean I can not recommend this to new players. A) there is no way to catchup without spending real cash (I am talking in the tens of thousands of dollars region). B) all new updates are designed to squeeze extra money from players C) the latest update has reduced the playable screen size of the game on iPads by 25%, and the devs have stated that this change is intentional and shall not be rectified. At this time the game is in the final stages of a free to play game, where every update is designed to squeeze the maximum possible revenue from the product with the minimum possible investment from the developer. Please do not download this game..Version: 208.0.537219
✓ Like the game, the “help” guys…NOT SO MUCH and I’m kinda MAD about it.I like the game it’s a fun game to play. However I’ve had frequent “freezing” issues when I’ve earned certain playing incentives. The game will freeze when I go to claim said prizes. Unfortunately every time this has happened It will not save the prizes or any indication I won them, it’s been multiple 5* characters, the points to get to 5* characters even some duplicate 4* star characters. When I brought this to the attention of “help” they completely blew me off. I let them know when the freezing occurs nothing is SAVED. To which they replied that the game didn’t show any of that, to which I retorted of course it doesn’t it freezes completely no data is transferred. Their reply was what I took as a rude dismissal saying they either didn’t care what happened or didn’t believe me. I’ve put a lot of time and some money into playing this game and other Marvel related games. These freezes have been reported before by other players so I’m not sure why they are met with doubt. I will say I won’t be downloading any future games or spending any money moving forward. I won’t give money to a provider that doesn’t believe or care about their players..Version: 295.0.668451
✓ Don’t buy in!Don’t get sucked into this game, they make it so hard, so you’re forced to spend money to get anywhere. And don’t forget Disney has a habit of cancelling games without any reason or monetary recourse, that’s my opinion..Version: 248.0.596459
✓ So difficult to readThe new update changed everything visually that players have been used to for years. It’s hard to read and tell the difference between tiles. Some of the colours blend together and there isn’t enough contrast between them..Version: 223.0.563285
✓ OkayWas very difficult to get started due to awful drop rates of decent characters (I was getting 1* storm every time). After playing this game for a few weeks it’s very clear the developers want you to spend hundreds if not thousands, as the story modes require decent level characters to compete and you can only get decent characters by spending, so once I’ve finished all prologue missions I may as well quit the game as I’ll be left with nothing to do and I’m certainly not spending. Joined an alliance but no one talks, so I’m only guessing they’ve given up. I would like to see drop rate improved for 4-5* characters and definitely sort out the cheaters!!.Version: 154.0.443823
✓ Awesome, free, FUN - unnecessary graphic updatesEDIT: not a fan of the last update. switching from my powers bar to the enemy's powers bar (which is actually flashing, no less) between turns is extremely distracting and totally unnecessary. I could already check their buildup when I wanted to. A lot of the upgrades introduce completely needless graphic bling that slows the game. My go-to game when I have a few minutes! It's endlessly fun, and although you could spend money on in-game purchases, I never have. Frequent fixes make it crash-free for me. Really fun. At one point, my save game file became corrupted, but customer support restored it and I was gaming again the same day. Patch upgrade addressing the issue was in the App Store within a week. At any point that it starts to feel like I'm grinding to get somewhere, I know I've been playing for too long. It's just a cell game, after all. Don't get goal-obsessed, avoid micro transactions and have FUN!.Version: 142.0.425294
✓ Fun at firstWas fun to play at first but is more focused on pay to win. New characters come out yet immediately after I come across brand new characters completely maxed out in pvp even though resources are limited..Version: 241.0.588202
✓ Shards are terriblePlayed this game for 500+ days and used to really love it, but the latest roll out of a new shards system has spoiled the game for me..Version: R192.0.508345
✓ Your Opinion Matters to UsSorry but i don’t believe it anymore we’ve been complaining and pleading for months now for you to drop those UI changes they ate horrible and make our life and playing experience a disaster. This is just your politically correct answer. You’re driving us away.😢.Version: 230.0.575222
✓ Updated: Has gotten worse with timeUpdated: the new design of the jewel grid is so terrible to look at that I don’t think I can keep playing this game. Why are y’all systematically making this product worse? I have been playing for over four years and have watched as aggressive monetization has overtaken what was once a fun and truly free-to-play game. As other recent reviews note, new characters are added at breakneck speed—when I started playing there were maybe a half dozen 5* characters and more than 50 3* characters. There are now nearly as many 5* characters as 3*, and there hasn’t been a new character added with less than 4* in years. To make matters worse, many recent additions are truly, TRULY broken (Karnak, Polaris, Kitty, and Beta Ray Bill being the standouts here) such that they dominate virtually all versus events. It seems like it can’t be possible that the developer HASN’T noticed this. In addition, the past few updates have mostly been steps backward from a UI perspective, particularly the changes to the recruit screen in the most recent patch. I also agree with the reviews that have mentioned the frustrating lopsided AI cascade algorithm, which has never improved over all the years I’ve been playing..Version: 223.0.563285
✓ ReviewIt’s one of those combat bejeweled games which is fine...except for unlocking characters, it’s confusing on what I can/can’t get and numerous currencies I have no idea how to obtain make it even more confusing..Version: 212.0.543550
✓ Developers, something’s broken...On opening the app, I get told there’s an update available. There’s no option to ignore it, and clicking OK brings me to the app store where there is no update, just an option to open the app, which on opening tells me there’s an update available... So, now I’m unable to log in & play so I don’t get to claim my daily rewards, my team aren’t getting points because I can’t log in and play and I look like an inactive member..Version: 144.0.427308
✓ Great game but in game purchases lackingI will start by saying I love this game. I play it daily. It is like candy crush for marvel fans. I hope the devs read this as my only gripe is a large one, I hate how hard it is to add characters and upgrade them. If you play a lot, You get to a point very quickly where you get the same characters over and over, and once they are champions you can’t upgrade them. So it becomes a fun game with no purpose other than to kill time. The in game purchases are expensive, and only give you a chance at a new character or an upgrade to existing characters in lineup. I could spend $100 and have no guarantee of a new character I don’t already have and can’t upgrade. So I could spend $100 and get nothing of use in the game. I have spent money only to walk away with purple iso that you can’t use. I have millions of purple iso waiting to upgrade characters that I can’t ever seem to get. Why can’t we buy individual characters? Or Tokens that guarantee you a new 3 or 4 star character? I would pay for those. But not paying $20 for a 1-25 shot at a new character. My odds may not be exact but you get the point. Thanks for listening. Please consider changes. Shards was a step in the right direction.Version: R200.0.525998
✓ ComplainSpectacular game... I’ve been playing this game for 5 years already. And I like it so far. The only thing I have to complain is that the most common award is ISO-8, I already have to much and I cannot do much with that, and the heroic covers are always 2 stars covers, that at the some point is useless, make sure you improve this cuz I cannot make growth my roster.

✓ It’s all about the money money money…Been playing this game for 6 years. I used to buy in to the VIP monthly subscribe but stopped when I realised that it doesn’t really matter how much money you pay, it’s never enough. To go from a 3/4 star player to 4/5 star player is virtually impossible unless you do one of two things: find a hack or get a second mortgage! It’s taken me 6 years to get a fairly reasonable set of 4 star cards up to and over the lvl270 mark but no where near maxed out. I have most of the 5 star cards but the drop rate on these is as rare as seeing a unicorn, on a night when Haley’s comet is flying over a super moon, during an aurora! The drop rate for 4 star cards isn’t too bad but I currently have 7 new 4 star cards in my inbox waiting for me to recruit within the 2 weeks limit before they get cancelled and turned into iso 8. So I need 7000 hero points to recruit all 7 of them. The hero point drop rate has fallen massively and is now a rarer drop than 5 star cards! So I have to buy the hero points if I want to get the latest 4 star cards. This is going to cost me £45 to get 8500 hero points. And that is just to keep up to date on the 4 star game!! Like I said, it’s all about the money. When I look at the players who have full 5 star decks maxed, I have to wonder about how they did that?.Version: 259.0.610245
✓ Game gets worse all the timeOriginally, the game was a beta. There were problems, but hey, it was a beta! There were mistakes, there were flaws, and they made changes to powers, and I wasn't always happy, but I understood it. Then the beta ended, and they changed core game concepts and abilities. Here is the thing, I am not griping because I want the game to be totally free, etc... I am griping because I understand that people need to pay for things, and I did! What makes me mad is that after paying for things, they changed characters powers. So once it was out of beta, and I thought things were set, the characters I paid to improve got changed. So basically, what I paid for is gone. This hasn't stopped. They keep changing things. The new characters are mainly stupid too. Where are the ones I want to see? Where are the other x-men? Instead we get squirrel girl? Come on! There are no other game modes. Everything is just the same thing, over and over. All good abilities have been nerfed, and only a few characters are even worth playing. So everyone is pretty much playing the same couple characters. This game is a train wreck. I wont spend money on it anymore because I don't trust them not to change the characters after I pay for them, and the drop rates for covers are terrible. Play anything, but don't waste time or money on this..Version: 255.0.604331
✓ Worst pay to play I’ve seen recentlyIs it fun? Sure. It combines the relative mindlessness of matching with some cool hero powers that require team skill alignment and strategy. But here the deal - to add characters to your roster, even once you’ve “won” or “earned” them, it requires in game currency. And the cost goes up and up. If you have two heroes, it might cost 10 “coins” to add another hero but if you have ten or twenty (even if they are all one star, not five star rated heroes) and want to add another hero, now you are looking at 750 coins. Can you earn in game currency by playing? Yes. But be prepared to take weeks of very consistent tournament play … and even then, it can take longer to earn enough to open another roster spot. They throw a few coins at you here and there for additional rewards, but with the roster unlock so expensive, you can’t make much progress. Want to pay to get coins? Be prepared to shell out AT LEAST $20 EVERY TIME to get enough to add ONE HERO. Oh. And you’re on the clock - heroes you don’t add/unlock will expire after a given time. So if you’re a consistent player and have a decent roster, and you spend a lot of time in this game, and you manage to get a great hero that you’re excited about but can’t earn enough coins fast enough…tough crap. I don’t mind paying here and there for a game I enjoy. I know it costs money to develop and support these games. But this is ridiculous. And greedy..Version: 244.0.591162
✓ Money grabbing developers!This game is fun to begin with but quite quickly becomes apparent that you need to spend ridiculous amounts of money to be able to progress anywhere,seriously the money they expect people to pay for a mobile game is beyond a joke,only shows pure greed from the developers,you can't possibly get very far without paying for upgrades for your characters,very few game modes to actually play because of this,you need different characters everyday to do the tasks yet the roster isn't big enough to accommodate nearly anywhere near the amount of characters you need without paying another fortune,will be deleting and spend my time on another game without such greedy developers,really disappointing because it has potential to be a great game but once again greed ruins it!.Version: 205.0.532629

✓ New UI makes it virtually unplayableAesthetics aside, the dark tiles on an even darker screen makes it much harder to tell the colors apart; my eyes are straining to suss out what color/type of tile it is, which is giving me headaches and slowing my play way down. The lack of color contrast also makes it inaccessible for people who are colorblind or otherwise visually impaired. The narrower power bars make it harder to see when I have enough AP to fire a power because they don’t catch my attention as well. And the screen darkening even more on the opponent’s turn makes it so I can’t see what they’re doing or plan my next move. If you’re going to have a darker screen (which really should be a toggle switch for night mode, not the default mode) you have to make the colors for the tiles and AP/health bars a lot brighter. And really, there was nothing wrong with the play screen before. This makeover was completely unnecessary. I’m a commander of an alliance and a bunch of my players are already threatening to quit because they literally cannot play with this new UI. I’m a VIP player and I spend a lot of extra money on top of that, but I will no longer pay unless this is fixed..Version: 223.0.563285
✓ MehSomewhere inside this is a complex puzzle game that mixes strategy with RPG elements. However, after playing it for a couple of weeks I still don’t get all of the systems but by now I’m facing harder and harder bosses which is incentivising me to spend money. I want a fun puzzle game not a freemium model nagging to spend cash. Fun for a while but you’ve got to invest too much time and money to make it worth while..Version: 295.0.668451
✓ Adding heroesNo problems except it's difficult adding roster spots to add new people. Edit: Almost every new character is a 4 or 5 star. Upgrading your roster is very tedious, on the slim chance you actually get the needed covers for your roster. Using command points for legendary is laughable. It ignores the roll chances it says. In the span of 4 weeks, all the classic legends and latest legend pulls via CP or tokens total out to about 35 covers. I have gotten only one 5 star cover and the rest were 4 star. With the remaining 4 star covers, maybe 1/9 were covers for someone on current roster. Even with 2 star covers, you will likely pull the a character not your roster multiple times until you actually add them. After adding the character, it will decrease future chances to get it again. The same goes for the other character tiers. Hope the team can devise better methods for players to efficiently invest their command points instead of paying for the covers in the offers page..Version: 231.0.576516
✓ Should have a tab for 0 starsDo not play this game. They scammed me out of at least 500$. I got hacked out of my original Facebook page and when I tried to get my games data back they made me start from the beginning again 👎🏼 worst game developers ever cause I reached out to them and they basically said haha. Thanks marvel 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻.Version: 243.0.590233
✓ Dishonest new dev teamI don’t feel I can trust this new dev team going forwards. They reply to questions with one answer and the very next week you find they have provided incorrect information. They release broken and bugged characters and features one week after another. Instead of stopping to fix what’s broken they keep pouring out new broken releases. The game is in a mess. Please take this game away from this dev team and give it to someone competent..Version: 273.0.629424
✓ Grinding and repetitiveUninspired rehash if all the usual pay to win microtransaction games out there. A pointless card collecting game with very basic gem matching bolted on top.

✓ Good gameUsed to be hooked on this game now I go through spells of being into it then other days it's a chore for the daily reward. The game rarely introduces anything new so it’s extremely repetitive. Currently it's geared towards players who spend rather than earn through playing. Too many characters are being released as well which is making it harder to get covers and level up as it's diluting the pool. If you're gonna play , don't spend money on it , if you do , only use your coins for slots not packs.Version: 164.0.460605
✓ Highly enjoyable IF VIPSo the plus side is you dont have to pay for anything to get where you need to go in the game. You play through missions for characters, their covers for skills and to upgrade them, currency to level, etc. But eventually, you hit a cap of just a few characters before you even finish the prologue. At that point, you will ALWAYS be struggling between what characters to keep and what to toss because ALL your gold coins need to be going to extra slots and even then, you will never have enough slots for the amount of characters you get. So plus, always getting characters but also a fail in that the coins you have to grind for and you will never have enough. I HIGHLY recommend dropping money on the VIP (even if just once), it was unplayable for me otherwise. It gives you a bunch of coins that you can dump into slots so you have a good roster to work with. Plus the extra rewards dont hurt. This is also why i give it 3star, because it is HIGHLY difficult without that extra push. But not unplayable. If i had to recommend anything, im surprised we cant save team setups yet and, as a comic book collector myself, it would be nice to have a collection we could see of all the covers we had because you have to throw away a lot that arent as good as others. Maybe rather than throw away, toss in a binder and get a reward for completing the set?.Version: 180.0.484923

✓ Finally new 3*It’s been years upon years of new 4 and 5* every new card has been 4 or 5* it’s nice to see finally a new 3* hopefully there will be more coming soon not every new marvel movie has to be 4 or 5* how about more 2 n 3*s in the future was starting to give up on there ever one’s been playing the game for 7+ years.Version: 261.0.614319
✓ CritiqueGame is set up fairly well. Close enough to be fun It is repetitious and getting to guessable. Get some new playing rhythms.Version: 271.0.626719
✓ Good for vets. Not sure about new playersThe game is almost 10 1/2 years old and there are about 325 characters now. That means that once you get past the lowest tier where characters are limited to a few, you are in for a veeeerrrry long stretch of opening tokens and seeing another character you need to spend your hard-earned, or bought, in game currency on, if you want to keep and use them in the game. The middle tier has 64 characters, the second highest has 148, the top tier has 92 now. Dilution is such fun, isn’t it? Just open a 150 or so of the hardest to get tokens and you get one cover for each of those “rare” characters. Now just do that 13 more times and you have some useable characters! For vets who have rosters they have built over the past 5-10 years they have implemented some new things which make you able to get more rewards for covers you used to hate getting. Thats pretty great. I came back and am having fun for now. The game has lasted much longer than I thought it would and I’m sure that has a lot to do with Marvel characters being in it, which is probably why you’re reading this. Spoiler: many of your favorite classic characters are not that useful in game. Top meta characters are Polaris, Fear Itself Juggernaut, and Rocket and Groot. Also Jane Foster Thor and Shang Chi (who I like a lot so I’m glad for him)..Version: 295.0.668451
✓ On the 10th anniversary you managed to ruin the gameI did love this game and I have been playing it for 8years. However, The latest update for the game Introduced the most convoluted and frustrating addition to a game that was perfectly fine without heroes 2.0 which is ascending lower level character to higher levels. Great in theory but deployment of this addition has been terrible! You gave players something that is incredibly frustrating and in my opinion is a cash grab to make you fill your character roster with different levels of the same characters in hopes of merging them someday and I have yet to have if work! I Can not ascend my charters and on the redit threads I am not the only one having this issue. Did you even beta test this new software before releasing it???? I am very disappointed with this new feature and I am thinking about quitting a game that I have been playing for 8 years..Version: 287.0.656092
✓ It’s good but takes too much effortThis is a strange game for me, I’ve played for about 5 years now and not spent a single penny on in app purchases but the grind to get the best characters and improve them is so hard and off putting. If you want to get anywhere you have to either play hours and hours in vs events, the odd time there is a good story event OR you pay way over the odds for a slight improvement. I miss being able to spend my iso...Version: 210.0.540484
✓ 25% more grind nowRequires a lot of effort to progress and 5 stars a grind to level. Been playing for years and the grind is getting harder. Tend to use few characters to just get games done. Characters hit and miss so hard to get motivated to chase chars you will rarely use. Tending towards marvel strike force these days while it has its flaws gives more variety.Version: 223.0.563285
✓ New devs to worried about making moneyNew devs came in to fix a game that had pretty much been broken by the number of characters and a lack in the ability to build a roster. In their chase to fix the problem this game has become a big money grab. Not so much an issue but there are constant bugs and support has gone from excellent to non-existent. Admittedly, they are doing a lot to keep the game fresh but at a cost to reliability. The game itself is pretty solid and a level of depth you wouldn’t expect from a match 3 game. But come on devs, how about a bit more focus on the quality of your work?.Version: 288.0.657408
✓ Patience & game timeI’ve been playing this game for 1400+ days (daily rewards) and have built up a good roster, adding to it as the developers release new heroes/villains to the game. Having said this I did spend money at the start (£300+ over a year) to help with getting my roster up to a level that I could compete in the game to earn the in-game rewards. If you are a new starter I can imagine it being very tough now to get up to speed with things as there’s sooooo many characters within the game now..Version: 174.0.476748
✓ You’ll need lots of real cash!Seems the only real way to get good at this game is to buy your way through it! Just hitting 2 years playing this game and still have pretty low level characters as the drop rates are horrendous and when you do manage to get a half decent character you find you already have it maxed so you can’t use the cover! This is frustrating as you’d think there would be a trade system so you can trade for cover you need in that character, but no there’s not as I would imagine this would take away the profits. My friend has an awesome roster however it’s came at the price of around £3000 (no joke). So In summery play the game and be average, buy the game and be good!.Version: 140.0.421131
✓ Account deletingI wanted to delete my account but to do it i need to do alot of things and i dont i time so please let us delete our account if we want.Version: 292.0.664282
✓ Game would constantly freezeWith limited moment of the puzzle pieces and quite frankly ugly designs for said pieces (which i find a big deal, yes the main draw is the marvel characters who do look amazing but you’re going to be staring at the matching screen majority of the game play) Give this one a huge miss, I don’t see it appealing to any hardcore marvel fans or casual fans unless you’re encouraging 8 year olds to play this sort of app for brain developement..Version: 156.0.447397
✓ Used to love it, now it’s just...mehUsed to put so many hours and too many dollars into this game. You get to a certain plateau where it’s nearly impossible to progress with putting money into. The % system for getting quality card or more ISO is awful. I’ve gotten more med packs in those drops than literally anything else. Made the game not worth playing anymore. A game like Marvel Strike Force does a great job of a balanced drops. You may not get what you want, but you’ll get something that has value. Getting ISO or Medpacks is relatively worthless when you’ve been working hard to get any of the better characters. I’ve written a note directly to support explaining this same thing, and they didn’t even give a response. Their probability generator is weak, and there are way better games in the market that are balanced in terms of time/reward ratios. The game is fun, therapeutic almost, but the awful drop probability straight up ruined this game for me. I wish I could give 3 stars even, but the fact that it’s never changed for the better in years make that tough to do..Version: 204.0.531444
✓ Why are you taking my game ?!?!I have been playing this games for literally years and it’s backed up to my Facebook, I just received a message in the game that I have to back it up to the App Store now and you won’t allow Facebook backup anymore. I get it, meta sucks - but the thing is, when I try to switch to my Apple account I loose all of my data … everything! I have 234 covers, and they are all GONE! I really loved this game and I really loved the community, I’ve spent a lot of hours a lot of money. It’s really disappointing, but I guess you can’t really expect much from the world anymore, can you..Version: 295.0.668451
✓ Almost 5 years play..I’ve played this a long time and over that time I have had a lot of fun and spent a lot of money (happily) - but seeing the cost of VIP go up by £2 is very disappointing, especially when there is nothing new. Over this time I’ve seen the cost increase considerably and it is just too much now..Version: 163.0.458371

✓ Disappointed can no longer view comic coversThey recently removed the ability to view comic covers without overlays coving up the artwork. Disappointing :(.Version: 151.1.440000
✓ Great but SUPER expensiveGreat game, but Let’s get it right Game Designers. If a Full Game costs say 100 Dollars for PS4 or XBox than this will cost a user 1000’s to be playable. You penalize the Gamer by charging more for Hero point at every next slot. If this game is for 9 years old you are teaching gambling at its worst. Hugely disappointed..Version: 145.0.428779
✓ Please sir, I want some coins.The game is very fun, I have always liked puzzle quest games and I like the Marvel theme. I am also a sucker for collecting and I like the random draws of characters, however this is also the core problem for me. The amount of coins it takes to unlock a single slot for a new character is ridiculous and they give you very few opportunities to earn coins without buying them. It currently requires 500 coins for me to unlock one slot and I’m lucky if I earn 15 coins in the game. I don’t mind spending a little money in the game and I have, but they need to give more coins consistently as prizes and daily bonuses or keep the price of new slots closer to 200 without raising it constantly. At the very least, for the number of character tokens you get they should remove the expiration time of characters that you haven’t recruited yet so you can at least slowly work towards unlocking the characters over time instead of desperately trying to get coins or selling characters you would have liked to keep before they expire..Version: 231.0.576516
✓ Very fun but could get priceyGreat game, wayyyyy too expensive to play properly. I struggle to have enough ISO to upgrade characters. Takes forever to upgrade 5* characters without spending a bunch of cash..Version: 253.0.601919
✓ Great, but...I love this game and I’ve been playing it for awhile under multiple accounts on and off. The game is great. I do wish that some of the challenges were easier for a newer account and harder for an experienced account simply because while you’re at a low level it’s hard to break past the difficulties and once you do the game becomes simple. This would give a fair game play experience throughout. The largest reason for this review happens to be the fact that I can no longer buy 500 iOS packs from the character store. This was honestly the easiest way for new people to rightfully earn good characters. They play all the games and are rewarded with iOS and once saved up, they can buy tons of iOS character packs to receive better characters. This is the biggest let down that I have seen in this game’s progression. I want to see the iOS packs come back. Some people (or even yourselves) May have thought it made the game easier, which it did, but it game people a chance to do something with the outrageous amount of iOS that we are given..Version: 159.0.452258

✓ Pay to playI’ve been playing for years now and even though I’ve paid for VIP plus some for quite some time, I’m stuck at a standstill unless I want to put in hours and hours per day - and even then, I’ll never get a champion 4 star due to the duplicate cover issue. I shudder to think the amount of money I’ve trickled into this game, only to have the price jacked up more and more in order to play with any real progress. Don’t even start it..Version: 145.0.428779
✓ UI updates in R223Previously, I would have rated this as a 5 star game. However, R223 which introduced an updated UI has degraded the game experience for myself and others. It feels like a change for the sake of change, without any thought out into matters such as accessibility. While the layout itself remains largely unchanged, the color scheme is not friendly to those with certain vision impairments. While I applaud the updated colors of the tiles, enemy tiles are difficult to distinguish, especially on black tiles. The darker tiles colors are welcome, but the lack of contrasts between the tiles, the black background and the icons on enemy tiles makes game play mistakes more likely, reducing the enjoyableness of the game. Also, the dimming of the whole screen during the opponent’s turn makes it harder to see what the AI is doing. A much better implementation would have been for the background to be a lighter color on the player’s turn and have just the background turn dark on the AI turn. And though not gameplay impacting like the other changes, aesthetically the purple background in the AP bar section is not pleasing, and I could see where someone with vision impairments may have trouble due to the lack of contrast between the purple background and several of the AP colors. This bar really should be a more neutral, contrasting color, like a light gray or silver..Version: 223.0.563285
✓ ISO uselessNothing to spend ISO on fix your game pay to play.Version: 238.0.584701
✓ All-New * All-Different Story Arcs, PleaseYou really need all NEW storylines. When is the prologue going to change to something like the first MSH: Secret Wars or Secret Invasion? Even Contest of Champions (the first one). I enjoy this game A LOT, but I’m a bit tired of playing Dark Reign and Cosmic Chaos every few weeks. I’m sure there are lots of players who would agree with me on this. Thank you for listening and I do appreciate the work you all have put into this game. I haven’t enjoyed a gane like this in a long while. UPDATE; I’m giving the new company who bought this game a low rating. They made some good changes, BUT they disabled the “contact us” within the app because they don’t like criticisms. I don’t care if criticism is constructive or harsh. If you disable that key contact, that shows what kind of company you are. Even contacting them outside the app do they refuse to acknowledge. I don’t know if it’s just with me or everyone altogether, but that is not a way to run a company. Were I the CEO of 505 Games, heads would be rolling with a review like this. Other than that, it is fun, but the lack if new campaigns is starting to make this game a bit boring and feels like work. They seem more concerned with making new boss events than the standard regular event. Hopefully, that will change..Version: 291.0.663063
✓ Good game, needs a few tweaksThe game itself is very good, and the characters choice is really great. But there is the first problem, there are too many characters flooding into the game at the moment and it can be really difficult to get covers for 4* and 5* characters that you need. My other issue is that the AI seems to have an almost psychic knowledge of how the board will fall, almost manipulating it in their favour..Version: 136.1.415876
