Puzzle Combat: Match-3 RPG - Match-3 Puzzle RPG

Tutorial is long, but once you start playing by yourself, it's fun. In-app purchases are not necessary if you work hard. Bonuses are available for watching ads, but they are optional. Creating different teams is enjoyable as each has unique specials. Sometimes you get free "Summon Tickets," and it's exciting when you receive a super rare character or weapon.

There's a big problem with having to pay to play games nowadays. You either need to spend loads of money or be patient for a long time to move forward. Yes, you can play for free, but there's always the option to buy your way through everything. For instance, if you lose a regular level, you're pushed to either pay to continue or accept defeat. This forces you to open your wallet or fall behind. It might be enjoyable at first, but soon enough, you're pressured to purchase items just to keep playing. In return, playing for free hardly feels like a choice. The company is too focused on money! It's just unreasonable.

I couldn't stop playing this game. At first, I found a lot of things to complain about but then my opinion totally changed. It's like a rollercoaster of emotions now! I used to get mad when I lost or didn't get what I wanted after spending my earned gold. But as I spent more time playing and put in the effort, I started to really enjoy it! Now I'm getting better rewards for my purchases, everything is paying off more, and it's super challenging!

Initially enjoyable, but once you delve deeper into the game, that's when things start to go downhill. Everything becomes sluggish, especially when dealing with the weaponsmith – crafting weapons, even low-level ones, takes an unreasonable amount of time. It's just too ridiculous. Despite any promises made, if you wish to progress at a reasonable pace in the game, be prepared to invest money. Spending money doesn't guarantee you'll acquire a top-tier hero either. You're limited to 6 raid attempts, 25 attacks, and 3 war machine hits. And just like that, you're finished with the game in a mere 15 minutes.

The game has become entirely pay-to-play. Now, you can't get good rewards or heroes without paying. There are never any 5-star heroes, weapons, or items to level up your 5-star items. The rewards aren't good anymore, even the boxes at the end of the Path of Valor are terrible. Plus, there are 20 ads when the game starts, ads on the right side, and pop-up ads during gameplay. It used to be a great game, but now it's just greedy. If you really cared, you would fix it.

I can't edit my previous review, so developers will get two reviews from me. After struggling through the terrible tutorial, I decided to give the game a chance. But when I tried starting my first mission without any guidance, I was immediately told to pack a bandage, play the mission, and use the bandage. Frustrated, I closed the game and will now uninstall it. Developers, you need to improve your tutorial and overall game design if you want to succeed.

The game is enjoyable and offers a good challenge. If you don't want to spend money, prepare to be patient because upgrading your fighter will take time. The rewards in the game are scarce compared to other games I've played in this genre. Despite not spending any money, I am enjoying the game thanks to my patience. It has great visuals, a wide range of characters, and best of all, it's free!
