  3. [R9] Magic Wands 3/5 · GB Mediocre: Tried this game many times over the years - and it doesn’t let me play the dungeon part it just says coming soon it’s said that for years !
  4. [R10] Magic Wands 1/5 · GB To the devs: Shame the developers have abandoned this game, it could have brilliant and loads of fun.
  5. [R3] Magic Wands 3/5 · GB It’s good but…: There not much to do but it’s a really addicting game.
  6. [R4] Magic Wands 1/5 · GB Terrible game: This game is just about buying wands! Nothing good about that!
  7. [R5] Magic Wands 4/5 · GB Sugdson: It would be cool if you could duel and if it was easer to get posos then I would Play it loads more.
  8. [R8] Magic Wands 4/5 · GB Alright: Overall the game is good and all that but it is just a wand simulator I would not recommend
  9. [R12] Magic Wands 3/5 · GB Needs improvements: Decent idea for a game, naturally updates will improve it. However…raises some questions with some images…mainly the use of some staffs from the skyrim series and the image use of a monster from the monster hunter franchise, i know capcom are very hot on who can use their media so would suggest changing that quickly
  10. [R15] Magic Wands 3/5 · GB Worried about the light: I’m a bit scared about light who knows it could be taking pictures but over all it’s a good game
  11. [R16] Magic Wands 1/5 · GB This game is trash: Hi sorry to say this but i hate this game it says it is a simulation in this update make this a simulation and add wizards hogwarts and make it harry potter:hogwarts mystery.complete on 1st december 2021 or 2022 or as long as you want
  12. [R20] Magic Wands 5/5 · GB It’s Not that bad💕🤍: This game is not actually bad but maybe add some new Wanda if u could overall it’s amazing And I recommend it for Harry Potter fans my idea is you could pick your hogwarts house and it will give all of the Wands for that house for example if u pick slytherin it will give u peoples wands form that house that’s my idea.x
  13. [R21] Magic Wands 3/5 · GB Ideas for dungeon: Maybe you could put fluffy and maybe a troll down there or some pixies and dragons and Nagini as a mini boss and the serpent that protects toms diary as a boss? Maybe the final boss could be voldimor(t) himself it’s just an idea
  14. [R25] Magic Wands 5/5 · GB Just Great: I love Harry Potter
  15. [R6] Magic Wands 3/5 · GB This is an amazing game: You get to unlock new characters wands and even get daily potions and you get to play with different spells to play with and if you put your flashlight on it looks like a spell has casted
  16. [R17] Magic Wands 4/5 · GB Needs: I’ve had this app for upward of six years and the graphics and everything are great you can save up potions to buy wands or have a random wand for a certain amount of points, you can try some spells as well but that’s about it for the time I’ve had this app they’ve had this dungeon fight on a “coming soon” notice for the hole time. And by this time I’m guessing it’s never going to be update
  17. [R18] Magic Wands 3/5 · GB Quite good: It is so fun with the different spells but it would be good to make the light coming up on the phone when you make a spell different colours if that is possible and also I would like it to maybe have mini games for potion coins or something like that. It can get a bit boring but the overall game is ok. Thanks x
