Marvel fanatic

I love Marvel and I love how perfectly this game captures how the characters would act as teenager. I also like how when you rank them up their outfit slowly changes to the one we all know and if you don’t like it you have the option of choosing a different outfit (plus wasp’s shop of course).


Can’t do anything without paying

You have to continuously unlock new characters to play in the special events, that costs money. They say you can earn crystals for free but I followed their instructions and downloaded and played other games, still do not have my crystals. It is time consuming and too much relies on crystals. Not fun, I had high hopes at the beginning but now i see they just want you to pay not play. I would not recommend.


Used to be great

Kael02

This used to be a great game, emphasis on “used to be”. Now the only way to get any of the characters or advance them is to spend a lot of money. Used to be my favorite game but now it’s something I only play when I am really bored.


Dull Cash Grab

I've played other "games" like this where you tap for a few seconds and wait for hours for a few lines of dialogue only so you can tap again. Maybe it's just me, but the severe lack of sound and the whole setup of the game really puts you to sleep, no matter how much you like the characters. It's as bland and pay to win as most other games in the AppStore--it even uses the irritating shard system to get characters. The only thing in this game that doesn't feel soulless is the adorable character designs/art. Props to the artists for that. If you want an okay Marvel mobile game, I suggest Future Fight or possibly Strike Force (if you want to use your favorite characters, lean more towards FF). DC Comics otherwise has the first Injustice which came out before all these intense p2w methods surfaced and only has a somewhat effective energy system.


Eh.

Presley23??

I used to have this game and I was some of the first downloads to play it and I absolutely loved it! I loved all the characters, and how you could level them up, the only thing I didn’t like then was how it was difficult to collect shards. But now I hate it. I don’t like the new update because it’s made everything so complicated. Plus it’s harder to upgrade your characters, plus so many events that you finish one and another one is two days after not giving you enough time for the actual story mode. I deleted this game because it always too much. If they went back to the original version, I would download it again.


Disappointed

Randoco

I’m disappointed in the fighter changes. Just when I felt like I was getting somewhere with my characters and their abilities, TinyCo nerfs the fighters. Levels I could easily 3 star before at now on low probability of winning. This game has taken a major step back.


Done playing

I just started playing this game recently. Lately I’ve been doing battles or watching videos to earn extra money or shards when I need to buy something for a goal and I’m just a little short. So I earn the money. Which usually takes up all the energy I have. And then when I try to buy the item for the goal, it still says I need more like I still have the same amount of money from before I earned more. So I close the game and restart it. And it shows the amount of money before I earned more. Like I never earned it. But all my energy will still be gone. So this happening constantly along with the fact of how impossible it is to get new characters during events, or how many items you need to rank someone up or up the rarity or skills but you only earn one or two items you need at a time, I’m just deleting the game and done playing.


Help??

L0k1tty

So, I just downloaded the app today, and it keeps saying ‘cannot connect to server’. I’m not sure what to do ?


update ideas??

Sinnerinroll

i really like this app!! i just wish there was a quicker way to get free shards, like maybe watching ads instead of playing other uninteresting apps for hours? also, i’m disappointed that there’s no dating feature!! otherwise this is an alright app :)


Impossible to upgrade

SpideyFanDan

The game has great graphics, and funny dialogue that makes the play enjoyable for Marvel fans, but everything else about the game is impossible to play without shelling out tons of money. 1. Stamina can only be earned by characters who do tasks that take hours to perform and you only earn enough to play one or two battle rounds for some tasks and other tasks you don’t even earn enough for one round. The tasks are arbitrary and such that even if you get lucky enough to have every character working on tasks, 6-8 hours later when all of them are done, you still haven’t earned the full stamina. Stamina should refill automatically daily with the opportunity to earn more through tasks. 2. Shards are used to buy extra stamina, event-related things and special items. The amount of shards needed to buy any of those things is so ridiculously high that you have to play other games, watch advertisements incessantly, or purchase them for WAY too much money. You only earn a few shards once a month if you log in daily. Otherwise, there is no other way to earn them. OBVIOUS MONEY GRAB. 3. Coins required to upgrade character rank and buildings are super high (20,000) coins, but you earn 10 coins or less for goals, tasks and once a month for daily login, so it becomes impossible to upgrade any characters past a certain point. The new time capsules that open only give you 1 item that requires 50-100 for upgrading purposes, so advancement in the game is severely halted because character upgrading is impossible. 4. Level upgrades for characters cost hundreds of points the higher the level, but the comics items used to upgrade them are so low, that leveling up is very difficult. I stopped playing the events because I didn’t have high enough leveled characters to advance far enough to matter. You can quickly unlock new characters through the event play, but upgrading them is so impossible that it feels daunting because your character list fills up with level 1 characters that require levels 30 and higher to actually get anywhere, but the only way to get the required upgrading materials is to pay $100 for a few thousand shard or coins. 5. Game play has been intermittently frustrating with frozen rounds and glitches that cause you to loose those hard-earned stamina points. Customer service is non-responsive. After an update at the end of May, I lost hundreds of earned remotes. They just disappeared. I sent a request to investigate on May 17, and then they responded on the 23rd asking what happened (everything that happened was explained in the first message), but NOTHING in the game told me they responded, so I never checked the message system (which is found by tapping on settings and a tiny question mark in the corner, then tapping contact us). On May 30 they responded saying they closed the ticket as resolved because I did not respond. I just sent a message today when I realized this occurred. I doubt any remediation will occur. If they restore any stamina points or remotes to me, I will be shocked. With the glitches the game has, I doubt they would even know how to give anything to you for free. Overall, if you’re rich and you love Marvel characters, play this game. Otherwise, there are FAR more fun games out there that feature Marvel characters and don’t require money to progress daily, let alone, to progress at all (puzzle quest, strike force, contest of champions) The developers need to highly consider figuring out a system that encourages game play through reasonable daily progress or they are going to lose more players. The game has potential and events are fun to challenge players to play daily, but when progress is so stifled that you cannot move past intro levels without shelling out hundreds of dollars, players will lose interest quickly. This one has.
