Worse game ever
This could really be a good game but after you play a while is completely pointless, another pay to win. Whoever has the higher booster wins, end of story.
The game play us fun and competitive but unless you have a good booster chances to win are extremely low. Also the pieces falling is completely unbalanced, sometimes the opponent starts with a 5 pieces match. That already eliminates your chance of winning. The game is programmed to make you loose so you have to keep buying boosters.
Unless you are rich and don't mind spending $50 a week just to keep playing, I don't recommend this game.

Hey Ed! I hear you're feeling upset, and I get that. In Match Masters, it's a mix of luck and skill, so surprises are part of the deal. While purchases can offer a little edge, remember, anyone's got the power to score a win 💪. Best of luck in your upcoming matches. Best, Ana
Bots only and unfair
You play with bots only and don’t worry, you’ll never win. Why? Because in order to play, you need to select a Booster. If you don’t have any, you must pay real money… and everytime you lose, you lost that booster.
Game is just a money scam, stay away.

Thank you for your feedback, Lioscy! We want to clarify that Match Masters doesn't use bots in matchmaking. Our system pairs you with players of similar levels, creating challenging yet authentic experiences. Some opponents may be stronger than others, but we are sure you will continue to enjoy playing the game! Best, Owen
Should’ve read the reviews before playing.
This game is great until diamond boosters come into play for the Masters levels, at which point the game becomes too unbalanced to be worth continuing to play.
One of two things happen at this point: 1) you don’t buy the boosters and the game stops becoming about skill and starts becoming about boosters, or 2) you buy the boosters only to find yourself noticing that there are fewer of your booster colours showing up and suddenly the silver colours are scoring higher than you.
It enough to make me wonder how many bots vs people are actually playing this one.

Fun Game But Terrible Algorithm
I keep being paired with opponents which are either ranked higher than me or have a much better booster (ie. Double/Triple Diamond Boosters). I have made this complaint before but was told that the algorithm is correct and there is a way to defeat the opponet, even if they are ranked higher or have a better booster. This is not true and even if it is, it would take an expert with a lot of luck tk achieve this. They also are able to go first and are given a favorable setup which allows them to get match after match without even having to do anything. I’m getting tired of dealing with these unfair pairings. This is becoming frustrating and is making me want to stop playing and delete this app altogether. I also heard the same issues with other people in my group. It is a fun game but these problems are making the game unappealing and taking away all fun. I hope you take this as well as all feedback seriuosly because not doing so deters people from wanting to continue playing and sharing this game with others. I have also read these same issues from reviews on the app store so I know you have received this feedback before but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I will also put this review on the app store so others can see the issues they will have before dowloading the game as it can take away from the initial excitement of a potentially fun new game.

Meh
Starts off ok, but as pointed out, the game is designed for you to lose your boosters so you will have to spend money on getting more. Doesn’t matter what kind of point advantage you carry into the final round, the game will give your opponent multiple 4&5 piece matches to give them extra moves. I’ve played against players who have made horrible moves and the game rewards them by having the exact pieces they need falling to create further combos. Then you’re losing games against people with worse boosters who have done nothing to deserve a win. Gets really aggravating. I was laughing it off originally but now I’m just over it.

Sketchy sales tactics
I love this game, I do. It’s fun, it’s challenging, a lot of it is luck. I don’t believe the people saying it’s rigged for you to lose, because there have been plenty of games I’ve lost because I made mistakes and plenty of games I’ve won because of the mistakes of my opponents. What I do not like or appreciate is this price gouging. This is the only app I make purchases on, and the more money you spend in game, the higher the prices get and the lower value your money actually has. I never see “deals” for 99 cents or 2 dollars anymore. For a long time it has been 8 bucks for a “deal” and today I received a deal claiming it was half off at 15 dollars (a supposed 30 dollar original price) for a bundle that some basic math and experience tells me is worth maybe $13 based on previous price tags. Play the game if you enjoy it, expect challenges and unfair matchups if you're using cheap boosters, but don’t give them your money or they will make you pay $15 for something you used to pay $4 for. Disgusting and disappointing service from a game I love and used to enjoy spending money in, a rarity I assure you.

Needs a lot of work to retain players.
As a avid gamer where I played this a lot a couple years ago and came back to it to see if there was any improvements and I’m disappointed. Match masters does definitely have an appeal to a vast audience with the variety of boosters and perks enabling a different gaming experience to all. However this game lacks the potential to keep gamers. They should implement a upgrade system to allow people to upgrade their bronze boosters in to silver and so on up-to diamond boosters. Also with many of the solo challenges difficultly being extremely high it puts me off trying any, knowing that I’ll just be losing a booster. Again having a difficultly choice for solo games where the higher the difficulty the higher the rewards should be in place. On a positive note the daily challenges are a great addition especially for people who want to grind out better boosters.
To summarise the reason for the 1 star is because the game is too money driven focused. And therefore overtime when people are tired spending their hard earned money they will end up just deleting the game. Not much is done to keep players. And a complete new strategy is needed to not just keep this game alive but thrive. I know you have had many comments moaning about the pay to win system and those comments can be considered but there is a solution where players who want to spend money and those who don’t can still enjoy the game.

Matched with higher boosters = boring
I absolutely love this game however now that I’m at a higher level I get matched with higher boosters it’s almost always impossible to win, you guys need to make an update where the app would automatically match you with either the same booster or similar ones but getting match to the octopus and I only have a duck I knew I was a gonner the min the game started I knew I was gonna lose, I saw someone else’s review from a year ago complaining about the same thing and nothing was done and I think this is an important issues for most players as when I have a higher booster my opponent automatically raises their flag and proceeds to quit the game it’s almost hard to find a game with higher boosters and I’ve been very hesitant to open the app and play so please fix this issues I’d hate to stop playing your game I do really love it

Use to be good, game owners got greedy
They made some major changes a few months ago, they have made it impossible to achieve completing albums with out spending money. We have a whole team who feel the same, this game isn’t about winning, it’s about spending money to win.. Boo MM

Read before you download this app
I’m 50/50 with this app. While the concept is engaging and fun, there are several issues with the gameplay. You’ll notice that once you get into any rhythm, your timer runs out a bit faster than usual while your opponent has what seems like all the time in the world in comparison to your time per round. Also, you can be ahead by well over 100+ points, and in a single round your opponents points will fly past yours with a lightning special clearing the board. Often than not, your unevenly matched with AI opponents and against outrageous boosters that skyrocket your points, taking the skill away from the game entirely. The tournaments are no better. You may win just a few rounds but this is a rigged app, and odds are always stacked against you. I’ve deleted the app a few times due to these issues. The original version was better, but since the frequent updates to add the drastically overpowered unnecessary boosters, and frequent point glitches it’s not worth playing. Unless you intend to spend spend spend, which is the ploy behind the setup of the design and gameplay, it’s not worth the download.
