1. [R5] Doodle Magic 5/5 · US Me: Fun
2. [R14] Doodle Magic 4/5 · US Something to come back to: I’d say initially this game is awesome if you enjoy choose-a-build style games with out of match upgrades and actual progress to be made, but as some other reviews have said, the difficulty gap between later levels can become a tedious grind in your last best wave. Luckily there is a raid button to quick clear and get rewards, however you are still limited to energy just
3. [R23] Doodle Magic 4/5 · US Great but I have a request: I find this game overall really fun but I think it is missing one that my. Is there anyway you could add an infinite mode were the player gets to keep playing and upgrading until they die?
4. [R26] Doodle Magic 5/5 · US GREAT GAME: This is a great game to pass the time! Love the crafting and weapon combinations that are available and seeing what synergies work with each other. Literally can’t put the game down!
5. [R3] Doodle Magic 3/5 · US Unclear: There is a lot going on and not very much explaining it.
6. [R10] Doodle Magic 2/5 · US Fun but 100% gacha: Drop rates are absolutely horrendous, progression becomes nigh impossible unless you spend money. Do not bother, play something else.
7. [R11] Doodle Magic 5/5 · US Enjoyable: I happen to think this game is intensely fun, hence the 4 stars. I just want to warn a new player that this game does not happen over night. You might do great for a good number of the early stages quite early in your experience, but just so that you know, if you do not spend money this game will take you a course of several months to get very far in. There’s some stages that are flat o
8. [R12] Doodle Magic 3/5 · US Review/issues: The game is fantastic, the difficulty between levels does make it hard to progress without grinding the previous levels. The game isn’t compatible or programmed right for tablets. Once the game loads and I switch to any tabs on the bottom, the game changes to the load screen and does t respond.
9. [R1] Doodle Magic 2/5 · US Enemy targeting is very bad: Seems obviously on purpose. Magician will target enemies that are far not attacking you, while the pens attacking can continue doing you damage. Intended to make you lose easily
10. [R4] Doodle Magic 1/5 · US Freeze: Game keeps freezing every time I click on an object
11. [R6] Doodle Magic 3/5 · US Fun, but frustrating: This is a fun game but the targeting desperately needs to be fixed. It frequently targets enemies that are not the closest ones and ignores enemies in the corners. This often leads to failing the level or failing to complete it at 100% because it is targeting the wrong thing.
12. [R7] Doodle Magic 2/5 · US Game is beyond broken: Played this game for awhile really enjoyed it as a good little idle game. Upgraded to iOS 18 recently and now the game is beyond broken all menus get stuck and overlay between pages and if you launch a fight nothing happens please fix.
13. [R16] Doodle Magic 1/5 · US Ads is too long: I don’t mind to play ads. But an ad with more than 2 mins and you couldn’t skip is a nightmare.
14. [R19] Doodle Magic 1/5 · US Really wanted to love this game: The greed of the devs runs strong in this game. To make any progress at all past the initial bump you have to spend money. Thats all there is to it. You can watch ads for some things, but they are minute long ads and half the time they crash/freeze. There are also frustrations playing the game. Skills are mostly based off of random luck - which skill you get to
15. [R21] Doodle Magic 3/5 · US Has great potential: Honestly really fun, the art is cool the abilities are really fun. But the grind is insane. Mobil games are supposed to be chill if i wanted to grind id hop on my console. Im on level 20 i cant beat it, ive honestly spent $40-$60 because i thought it was fun and wanted to support it. Yet i still cant beat it after days and days. Its frustrating. Either lower the difficulty OR
16. [R22] Doodle Magic 2/5 · US Update broke game: The last few updates have broken the game. You can no longer see the menu items at the top and the game crashes and resets constantly.
17. [R27] Doodle Magic 1/5 · US Be warned… the game has hidden cheats: It has been conclusively shown that certain gems are secretly nerfed for certain modes. Mass users are pulling out and demanding refunds. The game had glitches and other abusive elements, like artificial difficulty jumps, creating grinding levels that you won’t get past until you get lucky.
18. [R29] Doodle Magic 1/5 · US DECEPTIVE DEVELOPERS: WARNING - The Developers deceive players and remove any information of their deceptive tactics from both Reddit and Discord channels. STEER CLEAR!
19. [R24] Doodle Magic 3/5 · US Great game BUT: At around stage 16 you hit a massive what I basically think of as a paywall. If you don’t buy, you don’t pass. I’ve been grinding away for days and can’t even come close. Don’t waste your time if you’re not prepared to spend.
20. [R33] Doodle Magic 1/5 · US Do not play: I’ve played this game for almost a year. It’s incredibly grindy, nearly requires you to pay $50 a week in order to keep up, and it has levels intentionally impossible until you pay an ungodly amount of money. This is a Korean game designed around the carrot on a stick philosophy. They dangle gems and other items in front of your face for $20, $30, $40 or more. These upgrades are pow
21. [R13] Doodle Magic 1/5 · US iPhone 15: I got an iPhone 15 (idk if that's the reason for this bug), and every time i open the game, the menu overlaps with each other and i can't play.
22. [R15] Doodle Magic 3/5 · US Good game, bad UI: Every 2 weeks or so I have to reinstall the game completely because my UI gets bugged and you can see or do anything.
