  2. [R18] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · US Great Graphics and fighting game but campaign mode is not simplified as other fighting games.: I’m a huge marvel fan and love fighting platform games.

  6. [R3] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · US Story progress halted: My story progress had been halted because of how fast the difficulty ramps up, the collector fight is too hard.
  7. [R4] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Ridiculous: Quest difficulty far exceeds the rewards for completing them.

  10. [R8] Marvel Contest of Champions 4/5 · US Story books: Some storybook bosses are just frustrating and I stop don’t go further , game server is so slow
  11. [R10] Marvel Contest of Champions 2/5 · US Fun at first, but the constant bugs and Kabam trying to screw you over gets old: Look, if you're a fan of Marvel and like fighting games, it may be the best one on the market. But Kabam is absolutely incapable of releasing a new version each month without tons of bugs. Right now, they're enraging their playerbase because one of their bugs caused an unaffair advantage for a large group of people wh
  12. [R9] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · US Great but need consistency: I have been playing the game and i can see its good in ideas and how characters are originally. However, as you progress even when you over power some characters, no life is taken consistency as if they lower your health. That makes me money upgrades which is cool to make profits but not all have the possibility. I suggest to make it consistent to keep it enjoyable and
  13. [R12] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · US Veteran without the title: I have been playing since the game released. Mcoc has so much to enjoy and clearly Kabam does a lot well to keep a mobile game successful for 12 years. This game would be in the hall of Fame if Kabam actually worked on the enemy a.i., put less emphasis on pay to win business strategies, respected players time with in game content, and listened to player feedback more. I
  14. [R13] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Bait and Switch: They said to spend money and units to unlock tiered rewards. Once I did unlock the summer tier 4 event by spending money and units, they locked the tier before I could get all of the proper rewards. No fault of mine. They just said they had a glitch and can’t fix my account. So I have to spend a lot of money and units to do it all over again. Not the first time they have had this
  15. [R16] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Brain dead company: How incompetent do you have to be to mess up your 3rd biggest sale of the year. I spent $400 worth of in game currency to get nearly the same rewards as someone lower ranked then me and they only had to spend a fraction of the price because of a bug. Kabams response was “Life is unfair move on”
  16. [R19] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Don’t play-kabam only cares about money: Kabam has done it again, they’ve cheated their customers and community by adding corrupted offers to their application. Their fix is to allow all the corrupted purchases to go through and to cheat all players that made legitimate purchases out of their purchased content. Their response, “we won’t fulfill your purchase, or give you back what you spent, so so
  17. [R22] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Sucks: Trash the game is great till your characters get to a certain level then the game requires you to spend a lot of money to level up then spend more money on energy total rip off I would never spend a dime that can go to hundreds of dollars not worth it stick to my ps5🤔😡
  18. [R27] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · GB Game account: I’ve been playing this game since 2015 on my Android account. Recently, I decided to switch to an iPhone, so I contacted Kabam to transfer my account. They asked me for the exact date the account was created, along with several other very specific details. I tried to explain that I’ve changed 6 or 7 phones since 2015, so there’s no way I can remember the precise date my account was
  19. [R62] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 5/5 · US As a veteran of the game: As a veteran of the game I’ve been playing for years I’m currently 18 an turning 19 this week I love this game to the point my videos become viral all bc of yall man I love this game here’s to the 60th anniversary of Dokkan but plss lower yall storage bc I have to keep deleting all my stuff for this game that how much I love this game

  21. [R72] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 3/5 · US Love it but takes so much space: I've had this game since like 2020 and ive always thought it was pretty cool, but it takes up SO MUCH STORAGE its insane. last time i checked it took up 25 GIGABYTES OF STORAGE
  22. [R79] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US Fix your game: Why the hell is the game 20 gigabytes if it’s animations on of 2d characters. I would play if you lowered the storage
