  1. [R9] Injustice 3/5 · US Review: This game is amazing but my god this game needs a next big update. New characters and new mechanics.
  2. [R18] Injustice 3/5 · US Good: Really good game just wish they could keep updating it
  3. [R40] Injustice 5/5 · US This is better than the console version: This is because the amount of content is increased compared to the console version. Does the PS3 version have Deadshot, Darkseid, or the Arkham Knight? Does it have characters from the Dawn Of Justice movie? Does it have Survivor mode? No, because the phone version is better

  5. [R1] Injustice 1/5 · US Terrible customer service: The game itself is fun but there’s a lot of technical difficulties and they never fix them you just have to wait until it acts right again.

Then tying to reset the password doesn’t work because the app doesn’t email you a re

  11. [R12] Injustice 3/5 · US Awesome, but please fix the resolution/aspect ratio for newer phones: I love playing this game even today. Just trying to collect every card to Elite X Level 60. I do wish some weren’t locked behind paywalls nowadays when they used to not be. Like credit packs that used to be in the game now costing $20 of real money instead. Kind of lame of them to do as the dying update to the game. But my main
  12. [R41] Injustice 5/5 · US Poggies: Time killer sure, but the grind is real
  13. [R53] Injustice 4/5 · US Injustice is amazing: Injustice is really good, but I’m mad that they lock reward by a 20$ paywall (by this, I mean there are rewards that you can get by playing on console

  21. [R78] Mortal Kombat 3/5 · US BEST OF THE BEST (but)…: I’ve being playing this game and I realized that there are no extra buttons, only power thing that you fill in in Kombat. And one of biggest minuses is: the game is really simple, I mean like it doesn’t have anything based on Mortal Kombat. How did I realize that? I bought MK11 and I saw a huge storyline plus you can build you Kombat, not like this junk. Sometimes I even t
  22. [R93] Mortal Kombat 3/5 · US Fun game: This game is fun but I have to say is you can’t do fatalities and not really like other MORTLE kombat games I don’t think it should be a Mobil game
  23. [R96] Mortal Kombat 3/5 · US Mortal Kombat Mobile is too easy: I think mk mobile was a good idea in terms of more accessible merchandising and expanding the customer base. However, the gameplay is much easier and gets dull quickly. There are only a handful of attacks you can use and once you max out your characters and accounts there really is no point in playing this game. I think if they were able to make the mobile version
