### 3/5 — DC Heroes & Villians

*2025-11-09, version 2.10.9*

This game is fun but every time it gets updated it crashes. It never loads and it’s really annoying. I wish there were less glitches and bugs and they would add more to the map. They game has been out for a while and they haven’t updated the map. Most people have completed it.

### 3/5 — Tops out then meh

*2025-11-01, version 2.10.9*

Lovely artwork, fun at first, but eventually it’s just grinding and dull.

### 3/5 — Gems being hidden

*2025-10-26, version 2.10.8*

When I play the game the gems gets whited out to where I can’t see them and have to play on auto.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2025-10-24, version 2.10.8*

If you match more than 3 together, the entire grid will turn white, making it unable to see the pieces. I have to rely on the game hinting to see where I’m supposed to swipe. Had to uninstall, disappointing.

### 3/5 — Good game but….

*2025-10-24, version 2.10.8*

Good game but is a money grab. Once you get hero to certain level can’t really level up traits unless you spend money. Certain items you pretty much have to buy to get the next tier.

### 2/5 — Bug

*2025-10-24, version 2.10.8*

Tiles go white and can’t see what’s on the board?

### 4/5 — bad update

*2025-10-24, version 2.10.8*

love the game but i think it’s the new update making it so that i can’t see any of the matches im gonna make, like all of the tiles are covered by a white square and it’s really annoying, and it was never like that until i updated the game today. love the game apart from that though

### 5/5 — Mmmm

*2025-10-11, version 2.10.4*

Mmmm

### 1/5 — Money hungry

*2025-10-02, version 2.10.4*

For for about an hour until you quickly realise how much money the game tries to force you to spend. Constant pop ups asking you to buy packs are extremely annoying. You also hit a block on the campaign making it impossible to level up characters and process without spending money. Deleted

### 3/5 — Waited Over a Year/Needs Tweeks

*2025-09-06, version 2.10.4*

***Update*** I feel like there is to much stuff to go after in order to unlock hero’s, as well as I am stuck. My hero’s aren’t strong enough and no matter what I do, I don’t get the right items to upgrade them. I kind of gave up on this game.

To start, I absolutely love this game. Takes a bit of getting used to and trial and error. I saw an ad for this game about a year ago and signed up for early access and info when it will come out. Never got the e-mail. Anyways, the only issue I have with the game is that is constantly crashes on my iPhone 11, but on my 7+ is runs flawless, not sure what that is all about.
