  2. [R10] Monster Legends 1/5 · US H: The game is fun when you are a beginner but now im in level 53 the game is horrible and nothing is even fair now and there is so much pay to win
  3. [R15] Monster Legends 1/5 · US FOR THOSE LOOKING TO DOWNLOAD…: Skip this game. It isn’t worth it. It’s a P2W mess where the developers don’t listen to the community. The game may be fun at first, but you quickly realize that the charm falls off. Every aspect about this game is either about wasting time or hoping that you’re lucky.
  4. [R49] Monster Legends 1/5 · GB Pay to progress: This is a good game which I think deserves 5 stars. But although it isn’t pay to win, I feel you do need to pay a little bit to progress at a reasonable speed.

  7. [R47] Monster Legends 2/5 · GB Good game but many issues: It’s a well made game and can get very fun but the number of ads make it not enjoyable at all. I skip the ads by restarting the game but I just claimed a chest that I bought with in-game money. As soon as I bought the chest there was an ad, so I skipped it and restarted the game but then my chest disappeared and I wasted that money. I understand they need to run ads to g

  16. [R33] Monster Legends 1/5 · GB Capitalist Pigs: Discord server is full of racists and homophobes and people doing/saying illegal things with their moderators doing nothing about it, the devs lie and use ai slop saying they will listen to our feedback yet never do our feedback is ignored and the games in shambles impossible for f2ps and very overpriced for p2ws do not play this game
  17. [R13] Monster Legends 2/5 · US The nice but bad game: In the ad, it shows that there’s a picture camera and you can take a picture of things so you can get more dragons or monsters, but there is no camera thing so you cannot take a picture so this game wise, but it is also really fun although it is not what it looks like in the ad
  18. [R52] Dragon City 5/5 · US Great game: Best game to pass time
  19. [R56] Dragon City 3/5 · US Adds: Too many pop ups when you open the game, the red notification circles never go away or come back randomly, adds can be annoying bc they pop up randomly while playing
  20. [R57] Dragon City 1/5 · US Quá nhiều quảng cáo: Quảng cáo nhiều quá Chơi khó chịu
  21. [R60] Dragon City 5/5 · US This is your own dragon empire there’s no limit to your creativity and this dragon seat: First, I knew that if you’re in it in time and you’re outside or off-line, but it doesn’t make you off-line and when you reconnect, you could have more fun
  22. [R65] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Constant Glitches and Accidental Purchases: I’ve had enough with Jurassic World: The Game. This app has far too many glitches. During a battle, I received an error message that wasn’t my fault, yet I still had to wait 7 hours to use my dinosaurs again or spend 117 cash to recover them. The hatchery is also way too sensitive. I’ve accidentally spent over 1,000 cash to speed up my Megalodon because
  23. [R69] Jurassic World™ 5/5 · US Amazing game as in grinding and enjoyability: This game has always been and still is one of my favorite games to play. The combat is not too complex. It is fairly balanced, and there is so much to grind for daily missions and super frequent new challenges as in battles make it so the game almost never gets boring with new things to unlock all the time. I recommend to anybody that loves Jurassic Wo
  24. [R72] Jurassic World™ 5/5 · US Jurassic World the game is so fun: I gave Jurassic World the game five stars because it is amazing. It is so much fun. It also teaches me so much about more dinosaurs. It also helps me with knowing dinosaurs even though I knew dinosaurs since I was two but this game is amazing if you don’t like this game, you guys are crazy.
  25. [R73] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US Ads don’t work: I can’t run an add for a reward, they either aren’t available or when the ad finishes it freezes and I have to restart the app. And I don’t get my reward.
  26. [R79] Monster Draft 1/5 · US Wtf is this: So I played this game it is a**. There is ads every 10 seconds also it’s boring as hell. Also bot reviews
  27. [R81] Monster Draft 3/5 · US ADDS!: Every single t
  28. [R82] Monster Draft 1/5 · US Too many: There are way too many commercials
  29. [R85] Monster Draft 1/5 · US Literally stole my money false advertising: I spent 2.99 on ad free and my son immediately got an ad. False advertising I demand something be done
  30. [R93] Summoners War 1/5 · US Very Poor Customer Service: I’ve been playing on and off for probably close to 10 years. The game is fairly fun, it’s a good activity with friends. Unfortunately, their customer service is abysmally bad. Their actual requests portal only works half of the time, so you’ll find yourself writing out your message multiple times. Then, when you finally get it to send, their service team doesn’t even at
  31. [R94] Summoners War 4/5 · US Fun but Frustrating at Times: 12 years playing across two accounts and still chasing an LD5. Come on Com2us. Help a brother out.
  32. [R95] Summoners War 3/5 · US Kinda disappointing: Played the game across a few accounts for a few years and I can say that this game isn’t kind to free to play
  33. [R97] Summoners War 5/5 · US Keep coming back: Title says it all. I’ve off and on for years and even though I’ve lost my old accounts, I always enjoy starting again to enjoy the thrill of the chase and pulls and gameplay. Thanks for such a wonderful game.
  34. [R107] Mighty Party 2/5 · US They killed the game by selling it to who knows who. The people who bought it from that company made the graphics horrible; they're an eyesore and all look the same. They didn't change the character stats much, nor the modes. They added useless puzzles that have nothing to do with the game, and for what, I don't know. · translated
  35. [R108] Mighty Party 5/5 · US Love the game but annoyed: You don't have a time limit on turns so people will stall so you press surrender and it's so annoying I was in a battle for 15 minutes and I'm like whatever I just surrendered it's ridiculous please fix this. It makes the game enjoyable and I love this game
  36. [R109] Mighty Party 3/5 · US A great game but: I really love this game all of the recent updates made the game more interesting and fun however after playing it for so long I still have the same issue of the game crashing in the middle of battle I know it’s not a problem of internet because this is the only online game that crashes so regularly because of this issue I have chosen to uninstall it due to the fact that I can no
  37. [R110] Mighty Party 1/5 · US Disappointed with the newest updates: Idk what’s causing these random black outs. I’ve only been experiencing this since the newest updates of this year. While in the middle of battles, the game just blank out and exit the game off my screen. Ima delete this game very soon, I promise that.
  38. [R99] Summoners War 1/5 · US Ne of the most greediest companies I know: Rerolling not worth it, not newbie friendly enough otherwise they give you a light or dark scroll mat 5 at start. They will nerf characters fast and one you just got probably be nerf and you would have wasted pulls. A lot of better gacha games out. Like epic seven gives free light and dark characters every so often and a lot during anniversaries. Characte
  39. [R102] Summoners War 1/5 · US Pull rates: The pull rates for any good monster are so incredibly low. It’s a shame how greedy this company is. If not for that it would be an amazing game. Too bad..
  40. [R118] Mighty Party 5/5 · US I never thought I'd get into a game like this...: But I am absolutely addicted to it. It is the first one I open when I have a bit of time and don't see that changing any time soon. You don't have to shell out money to build a competitive squad. On the contrary, playing strategically will get you farther than dropping tons of money. Plus... NO ADS!!!!!!!
