User Reviews for MARVEL Puzzle Quest: Hero RPG

highly enjoyable IF VIP

So 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?

Amazing game.

This game has been off and on my radar a few times over the last few years. I finally settled on this game back in 2018 when I needed things to do while I was laid up in a hospital bed for a few months healing from a car accident. This game became a daily routine and since then it’s been almost a daily play. I use it for fun and also use it for cognition building as these games can help. It’s simply a fun game that lets you build great Marvel characters and work to beat your opponent and move up levels while acquiring more of what you need to keep going…all without spending a dime. If you do have money in your budget, you can move along faster but that’s up to you ($20 or so a month is all you really need to get some cool extras). If you like match 3 games or Marvel or both, this game is a must get. Another cool thing they do is they move along with whatever is going on in the comics and MCU so you don’t ever feel like the game gets stale. It’s a game collaborating with the actual Marvel Universe. They do that very well and the game is mentioned on the podcast “This Week in Marvel” almost weekly. Need a fun game with some unique twists from your average match 3 game, this is it.

Not (entirely) pay to play

This game is great. It is the only game I’ve ever played that I have actively played daily since launch. During that time I’ve seen a lot of improvements to this game, most positive.I disagree with pay to play. If you put in enough time, and do the right events, you hit a point where the game is giving you enough tokens (in game currency) and covers to keep yourself going. You can win new covers through gameplay or legendary covers that they hand out as you level your character. You get rewarded with new characters for leveling existing characters. Or for $10/month you can go VIP and get daily prizes.The reason I gave it 3 stars is as follows. The game needs to figure out what to do with extra covers. If you have a character that is not championed and you get a 6th cover in any one color, you have to get rid of it. This makes it very frustrating when you do not have enough iso to champion the character, or you have less than 13 covers in that character. I’ve had many circumstances where I’ve had to throw away a 4 or 5 Star card because I couldn’t use it. It’s enraging considering these are rare pulls. The ability to use these duplicate cards towards another color once you’ve hit 5 covers in a single color would be great.There are also times when I have an issue with the game. Getting a generic response from customer service is not the best treatment of customers, especially when it doesn’t solve the issue.

Worst pay to play I’ve seen recently

Is 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.

If you play; don’t pay

I 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.

This game is Fun and you do Not have to pay

I’ve been playing this game for awhile now, and while I admit that I often find certain things about it frustrating, this game can very easily be played and enjoyed for free with no ads interrupting. Yes, it can be hard getting started but thats part of what makes it fun, it continues to challenge you and come out with new content regularly. I will say that finding the covers you need becomes increasingly difficult with the number of variations on the same characters and the more stars a character has the more difficult it is to get more than one cover for them. I recommend to new players that you stick with the characters your getting covers for in the beginning because those dark avengers covers will advance quickly to powerful characters. Something I did not realize at the time. The game also gives you a ton of ISO which as you advance starts stacking up in a ridiculous way because you cant use it for much of anything. I’m not a huge fan of the new thing you can equip to characters as I don’t find them to be very valuable but truthfully if you just want to enjoy a game and have fun then this is a great game for you.

Game gets worse all the time

Originally, 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.

UI updates in R223

Previously, 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.

An app that I like to support

This game is the most generous game I have ever played. Sure they offer packages that range from a couple bucks to a hundred but they are only there IF you want them. You never feel like you NEED them. They listen to user feedback and I can see changes in their updates that I (and I’m sure many others) have suggested. Whether it be improving the layout for your inventory or adding new characters they pay attention to the players. One thing that I will say is that it is a bit more difficult to start out as a free player now then it was a few years ago because there are so many new characters. When I started you could slowly increase your space for a new character but now the variety of awesome characters will make it hard for new players to know who to save and who to pass on. They often will delete a two star character (critical to be able to build from) for a single cover of a rare five star character who unfortunately doesn’t offer enough without more of those rare covers. The player has to make decisions and the best option often seems counterproductive. Of course there is always the option of spending a couple of dollars and adding a place for that new character but free players will get more covers faster then they can accumulate free gold to add a space. ‘‘Tis the curse of having so many characters and excellent drop rates. Still I support MPQ every month with VIP and buying packages because they never stop working to improve the game.

Been playing 4+ years...

... and still love the game, playing it every day! (Day 1584) Like any game things are easier when you pay. But that’s mainly in the beginning. And that’s only if you want to progress faster or challenge other well-established players and teams. If you just want to play events and collect covers, you can. You can select the difficulty level for an event even one below your current ranking, if that’s what you need.I’m at a point or I can get the 4-star cover progression reward for almost every event. I still can’t effectively challenge the top teams in PVP, I but that’s OK since it’s not necessary for the game (or me). It’s one of the few games that I felt the need less and less to pay to play the longer I played. Of course at first it took patience and perseverance and the need to resist the desire to have to progress to the top so quickly.I’m glad there are events that are pretty easy and those that are very hard, so it’s not too discouraging nor boring. I’m still experimenting with different combinations of players and teams. I will admit that like many it seems like the AI cheats, because he gets so many more combinations of matches than I ever do. (I call the AI “Sir Hacksalot”.) But most of the time I am a way stronger team than his so I can forgive it.
