Magic: Puzzle Quest

Hi there, I’ve been a long time MTG player and fan, and I love this concept of the game. I also love the rewards system you have in place. It keeps the game fresh and urges one to try new combinations all the time. The only thing that bothers me is that there is no restriction on the amount of mythic or masterpiece cards one can have in a deck. Why is this not a thing? That’s a rule in the card game because otherwise the people with the most money will just unfairly dominate, and I’ve experienced this multiple times now on the app. It’s really unfair for someone to be trying to raise their tier by using cards to “master” them and come across a deck that has six masterpiece/mythic cards in it and the game ends in under two minutes. What’s the point to me trying new cards now? There’s no competition or strategy, just pay to get the best cards and win, which this game takes pride on claiming not to be, and it wasn’t for a long time which is why I play. Maybe have an events that are for people who have/want to play masterpiece/mythic heavy decks? I implore you to implement a rule on having only one, maybe two masterpiece/mythic cards in a deck so the playing field evens out for all of us who love your game, but maybe don’t have the lineup to dump into it all the time to stock up on those amazing cards. Thanks for your consideration.

I’ve been playing this game for over a year now and have noticed some great changes (rewards for events, boosters contain a good mix of common - mythic, and boaster crafting), but there are two main things wrong with the game that stand out to me. 1. There are times where I’ll be grinding out a match in an event that only has (for sake of argument) 4 open slots until the slots renew (every “x” amount of hours) and the app will crash, resulting in the use of a slot and the loss of a match. This can be frustrating but I will admit, it has gotten better with time and updates. 2. Booster crafting. This is really frustrating to me because I have “purchased” multiple 300 gold crystal booster bundles, and the duplicate cards show that they are being converted to crafting points or whatever they’re called. However, when I go to craft a rare or mythic that I need/want with said points, they are nowhere to be found... I got the bundles with the knowledge that I would get duplicates, and those duplicates would convert to points that I could use to get what I need, but there seems to be an issue in the coding regarding this. If these two issues would be addressed in the next update or two then I would give this game a 5/5 stars, because in all honesty, it’s the only game I find challenging and fun enough to play for this loge, AND also has the Magic lore with it. I trust it will get better but for now I would give it 3/5

I’ve been a fan of MtG for a very long time, much more than a decade. And I’ve always liked the PuzzleQuest series of games, starting with the very first one PuzzleQuest. This game is an incredibly clever mix of deck-building of MtG and match-3 gameplay (with powers, progression and a huge variety of opponents) of PuzzleQuest. I am impressed how well the developers managed to mix these two genres in such a non-intimidating and interesting way. Unfortunately the deck-building aspect is seriously bogged down by the usual mobile market monetization shenanigans. It is sometimes so hard to obtain new cards that it becomes discouraging to go on. But that is just the way the market is, I guess. P.S. What’s the opposite of “quality of life” change? Well... I have launched the game after several months of inactivity and to my utter shock found that the neat 5 colored spheres that indicate which color you have already won with, are seemingly gone! How am I supposed to keep track of which colors are left? This is either a mistake (hopefully) or someone on the team decided that it would be a great idea to get rid of them, which is baffling to me if that’s the case. Anyway, I hope this quality of life feature will return ASAP.

So I've played this game since just after it was released and I still enjoy the mechanics of all the cards. Creature, spell, and support cards have very interesting effects and pairing effects. What I appreciate is the way it looks: some things are shiny, some glow, some sparkle and the artwork is very high quality. I have earned and occasionally paid for exclusive cards, a few mythics, a few masterpieces but mostly just playing the game has easily earned the majority of the decks and upgrades I've earned. I haven't tried the vip yet as it was just added over a month since it became available when I wrote this. Obviously if you can and are willing to pay an app directly you can expect the best rewards, if not the road ahead is longer for sure. I don't really have anything I'd complain about except sometimes during a battle, I slide open my deck, try to move one up or down and it occasionally gets stuck for quite a few minutes. Some days I'm patient and the card eventually becomes free again, other days after 10 minutes I quit my battle, which it allows, but then I loose everything that battle would have earned. I don't know that to be a symptom of any other app so I'm guessing it's a programming glitch but I'm no tech savant. Thank you developers!

This is a solid game! The rounds/matches are pretty quick. The story isn’t amazing but will keep you interested. And while the game has enough content to be very in-depth/complex, it has been done in a way that everyone can play with little to no knowledge of the “Original Trading Card Game - Circa 1993.” While this phone/digital version has little to do with the structure of the trading card game; It does utilize many of the original paper cards. They have done their due diligence on finding good through legendary cards from its trading card decks. Also just as the traditional card game, this new twisted version has an incredible amount of cards to collect and they are still working hard at making new decks every few weeks. If you like puzzle games like “Candy Crush” you’ll have the skills to get you started in this Role Playing World; If you also know some things from the trading card game, you’ll be above average at this version. Overall a very solid game. That can be played just about anywhere without being stuck trying to finish a level before you can stop. But do beware, you can quickly be drawn in to this fun/artsy/whimsical/somewhat scary world of “M-TG!”
