Double fusions would be awesome!
Mon Aug 19 2024 Scottk432This game is excellent and is one of my favorite mobile games of all time; one of my favorite aspects of the game involves discovering unique combinations between cards and achieving powerful combinations in battle. I noticed that while I can combine two cards together to get a powerful version; often times it would be cool to see two combined cards combine together to form Mega cards. For example combining water and human in a card battle results in a mermaid and combing a human and magic results in a wizard. What if you spend one turn combining water and human to get mermaid and have the option of either choosing it to battle or putting it on the bench and you spend the next turn combining human and magic to get wizard and have the option of either choosing it to battle or putting on bench. Then the third turn, you can combine wizard and mermaid to get a new rarity of cards called Mega and the resulting secondary combination is the combined stat total of the two previously combined cards with a brand new Mega ability. Say the human had 9 attack power and 8 defense power and the mermaid had 10 attack power and 10 defense power. The mega combination between mermaid and human could be called Mermage and would have 19 attack power and 18 defense power and would have the absorb ability. Megas don’t consume combo orbs unlike final forms do so it becomes beneficial to perform secondary combinations to achieve even more power.
Pay to win garbage outside of the normal levels
Thu Feb 22 2024 Sonnyboy194This game is fun, too bad that arenas are essentially pay to win scummy garbage. You get around 2-3 wins in and then it’s just some schmuck with a 24 damage 26 defense card when you’re about 5 days into the game. You NEED to put money into this dumpsterfire of an app just to break even in arenas. Even after culling my deck the best I could I can’t get past 8 stars. It’s complete and total trash and I recommend avoiding arenas like the plague unless you want to have your teeth kicked down your throat everytime. It’s worse when you play the normal levels and they’re almost TOO easy. This game is fun but it’s only fun if you spend money on it like every other crappy big name mobile game. And for the developer saying that they’re trying to make the game better; everyone playing knows you barely care, you just want the money you scummy bunch of mud-eating worms. You’ve been giving the same cookie cutter response for over a year and if it hasn’t changed since then, I think that’s a huge sign.
Excellent Concept, Absolutely Infuriating
Tue May 30 2023 TheHeroicTThis game is summed up perfectly with the title. It’s so hard to progress without paying money, even though the researching combos is my favorite part of the game, when I actually try and play the game it’s just throwing yourself at a wall over and over and hoping you can beat the boss. Your health doesn’t last long enough to deal with the bosses 99% of the time, and when you get that 1% odds of actually getting them down to no health, they get you down to no health too, and tie. Now that’s not so bad, right? Wrong. It counts as a loss, and you have to grind to make it a win, which costs your abilities. It’s just absolutely ridiculous to try and beat this game. Make sure you have patience and don’t get heated by games, because you’ll need the patience of a saint to get anywhere in this game. Or alternatively, the wallet of Jeff Bezos. All in all, this game is a pathetic cash grab with a genuinely good concept as the cover for it. It’s such a shame to see a good concept go to waste, as a game developer myself, I can see that there was passion put in at one point, but that passion has died. Some serious change is needed to make this game as good as it could be. But with the highly toxic landscape of mobile games, change is unlikely. I’m not getting my hopes up. But there’s a hope this game can become less pay to win. In a thousand years maybe.
Love it! But needs changes
Wed Jan 18 2023 AobgsuebaijwebkshevauwnvrkfidTL;DR: Good game if you can power through and have patience, but needs changes. Current gameplay is repetitive, slow, rarely rewarding, and the main attraction (combos) is locked behind pay walls and an absurd amount of gameplay time before significant progress is actually made.
The game is really fun, and the concept is very cool. But I have to be honest; if it weren’t for the nostalgic factor of reminiscing what it was like to play this game years ago, I wouldn’t keep it downloaded. I think with a few changes the game could see massive improvement. When upgrading cards, I wish it applied to every card with the same name instead of just individuals. The simple tradeoff would just be making upgrades more expensive, giving players another reason to grind. Secondly, I do agree that research either needs to have more slots (even just one more) or be a little faster. The attraction of this game is the combos, but until you put in some serious hours (and upgrade your cards with dust, which takes forever when you have to upgrade duplicates too) you can’t do more than a handful. I understand like most pay-to-win IOS games, progress is meant to be fast in the beginning, and slow and frustrating later on, but the progress here isn’t even fast in the beginning.
No changes, still not at peak potential
Thu Jan 12 2023 ItzJustCarrotGame is remastered with a graphics overhaul but that’s it? No new cards or more story? So many people only play this game for the first few days then quit cuz they get bored and stuck in the game cuz of how much you have to wait. The card upgrade times are ridiculous, it should at least be 12 hours for a gold combo research not a full 24 hours when there is so many combos already. EVERYONE IS TIRED OF WAITING, LISTEN TO YOUR REVIEWS!!! At least make it where you can watch an ad to remove some time off. The difficulty increase between areas is insane too, have to research and upgrade cards which takes days just to be able to fight the next person and upgrading cards is a hassle itself, can only get a few upgrade materials per day so can’t upgrade cards fast either, the increase in amount it cost to upgrade to the next level is insane too. Many people are tired of getting pop ups every time we visit the main menu we get a pop up, very annoying. If you would make at least a few changes that ALL of your fan base has been requesting this game would skyrocket in popularity but for now it’s probably gonna stay mid unless they do what your fans want. All your doing is making your game look like a cash grab.
I love the idea of this game
Thu Mar 23 2023 joegiogoI really like the idea of this game and the gameplay is pretty fun, but I have a couple of problems with this game. First is that it takes way too long to research new upgrades, especially if u don’t spend money in the game. This make’s progress pretty slow and leads to a lot of repetitive gameplay. It also makes me less motivated to get new combo cards, because I know it will take forever to research the upgrades to even make these cards usable. This is my biggest issue with the game. Another issue I have is that there isn’t that many options when it comes to gameplay. I would really love a real time arena mode instead of just playing against an AI using another’s players deck. My last issue is that getting gold and onyx combo cards seem virtually impossible for free to play players, which would make this game heavily pay to win in the higher ranks. Not sure why this version is called remastered because it seems exactly the same as the original. Despite all this, I actually think the gameplay is very fun and love the idea of finding combos and building decks.
Great, love it like the original
Sun May 07 2023 ncano0527It’s a great version like the original, but the cards in the combo research screen feels way bigger in size. Also when you are on the second map (little isles) and click the first level (the caverns) and go back, the master alchemist card gets mixed up on the top left. And the next map button on the bottom left stops working. Next when you click the back button on the top right, it instead sends you to the second map and swaps the master alchemist card on the top left again and if you click it again it mixes the card up again. You have to experiment with the bug to find out how it works and to fix it.
I love the classic simplicity of the game and the grind for the research and the difficulty. Im glad it isn't easy and fast to be getting the combos researched and making super fast progress, its all apart of the original game, the slow and difficulty is what makes it fun.
P.S. Also it feels like the bosses got easier tho, or that could just be me..
Response to the negative reviews
Mon Mar 18 2024 King Louie 13To start off.. it’s a simple game. For those complaining that you have to pay to win. Untrue, I didn’t pay and eventually at 100+ stars at the arena. It’s a slow grind. Like… MONTHS. And knowing when to use your gems. Literally saving 3000+ gems waiting for the scheming pack to buy out everything in hopes to get my first critical strikes. The more you play and win coins, the more you can upgrade your cards, the more you upgrade your cards the more games you win. The more games you win the more coins and gems you get. Literally a cycle. 3 months ago, I struggled with getting my first gold combo card through the portal. Now I can get it in 4-5 days without losing and rounds.
Be patient and keep grinding and you’ll be able to get at least Gold 1 in the arena in a few months.
Inflation hit the game hard
Tue Oct 10 2023 Dave173920472518492368HThis game is a staple in my household. I play, wife plays, all 3 kids play. Unfortunately, the PVP doesn’t allow us to play together or trade cards. Maybe something that can be figured out in the future. I’ve been playing this game long before the Remastered version came around.
Recently, they’ve inflated their diamonds value. The system now charges more diamonds for anything in the game and they cost a lot more. What used to be 50 diamonds, now costs 800, discounted to 250? What is up with that? Paid packs are 800 diamonds, marked down to 250… first off, they never cost 800 so that’s just a made up number so they can show a discount and make customers feel better about spending 250 diamonds on a paid pack. Go back to the old system. Since the change, none of us have spent any money on the game and probably won’t again.
We’ve also not seen a content update to a 3rd chain of islands in a very long time! So, price to buy things in the game has increased but there is no additional content to play.
Rigged
Sun Feb 19 2023 xPhantømXI love this game. Played it since the original came out but there is ONE thing that I cannot stand. Later in the game, it is so rigged to basically force you to pay real money for better cards. No matter what card you play, it’s going to counter to come out on top almost every time. Card upgrade, they will play to match. Heal, they get a combo every single time, and match to where you may do 2-3 damage and heal 5 every turn. Fire, they get a combo every time and hit you for 5 damage every time while matching your cards defense to block so you’re always at the disadvantage. On the heal, they already start with around 42 base health while you’re stuck with 30 with no way to raise the base amount and by the end of the game they have 50+. Also you AND the AI can be down to 1 card left and they somehow make a combo. I just think if you’re gonna make the AI harder with cards they have , don’t raise their base hp AND rig their hand to always have the upper hand or make there a way to raise OUR base hp.
