They ignore what the players actually want and just push out changes that make the experience worse. It is a masterclass in how to ruin a good app. ### 1/5 — The game has completely lost its balance *2026-07-30* The biggest problem with Hitwicket right now is the complete lack of balance and competitiveness between bat and ball. How is it acceptable that 2-star or 3-star opposition players consistently outperform 4-star and 5-star players, even when you’re batting sensibly, building an innings, and avoiding blind slogging? It makes player progression and team-building feel almost meaningless. What’s even more frustrating is the team composition. How can you allow Snap and Hex in the same team and call it “balanced”? Or let bowling lineups stack 3–4 Hex players and still claim there’s a fair contest between bat and ball? It completely destroys competitive integrity. I’ve played over 4,000 matches, so this isn’t a knee-jerk reaction after a few unlucky games. I’ve invested a huge amount of time into this game because I genuinely enjoyed it. But instead of improving, the balancing decisions have become increasingly frustrating. I’m honestly irritated by these fundamental design choices. It feels like skill, strategy, and careful gameplay matter far less than arbitrary balancing decisions. This is the point where I walk away. I quit. **Developer response:** We are sorry that you had to face this, and would love to look into your issue and resolve it for you✔.

It’s all fake stats that doesn’t work. Plus very weak and just tap tap tap game. No fun. You will always be just tapping screen poor. Ridiculous prices as well for what exactly extra tappings?? ### 1/5 — Lots of bugs *2026-07-24, version 12.27.0* I have spent almost 500$ in a month. You guys just robbing for nothing. Now this squad rush mood. We can’t even see the player profile who is with us. All the dumb players adding and can’t even score and wasting time and chances I strictly ask to fix it otherwise I am gonna uninstall in few days ### 5/5 — Jay *2026-07-24, version 12.27.0* Great game really fun to play over and over My only criticism is how pay to win it can be looking at some players teams but then again what games aren’t nowadays Overall I’d give it a solid 9/10 best cricket game since stick cricket ### 3/5 — Upgrading a player *2026-07-24* Starup for each player is 1.9k token and how long will it it take. And they make it hard so we have to spend money . Should be more accessible like clash of clans so everyone can play together hard to get friends hook on to game for starters to get good players. In starting stages while playing pvp it doesn’t match with player with equal xp instead need play against more xp players so hard to hook friends to play game if not decent game ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-23, version 12.27.0* God ### 4/5 — M *2026-07-22, version 12.27.0* It’s a good game but hope you put more balls while playing online there is only 30 balls plz make it more balls ### 1/5 — Rigged App *2026-07-22, version 12.27.0* Do not install this game. It will make you buy hitcoins by matchmaking with higher ranking teams. There is no point even after you purchase with $$$ because it won’t be of any use. Again “DON NOT INSTALL THIS APP” ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good gameplay, but the "Star-up" system ruins the experience! *2026-08-19* The overall game concept and mechanics are fine, but the 'Star-up' system is incredibly frustrating and completely outdated. Here are the major issues that need immediate fixing: Extremely Slow Upgrades: Starring up players takes an absurd amount of time. For example, doing a 3rd or 4th star-up for a 4-star player takes an entire week! Players Become Unavailable: The most illogical part is that the player is completely locked and cannot be used in matches during this entire week-long upgrade process. Outdated Mechanics: In modern gaming, merging or starring up characters is almost always an instant action. Locking away a player's best assets for 7 days is just bad game design and kills the pacing. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear this. Is there anything specific we can do to improve? Please write to us at nikita@hitwicket.com📝 ### 1/5 — Greedy Developers and Mods *2026-08-16* Worst game for free players **Developer response:** The in-game purchases are optional and do not affect the gameplay in any way.🙅‍♂️ Please help us on why you feel this way at nikita@hitwicket.com. ### 1/5 — Rigged and Cash grab game *2026-08-16* This game is completely rigged. The gameplay experience has gone downwards in the past few months. Moreover they don’t honor the purchases made in the app as per what was advertised by them. I have mailed them multiple times from August 1st. But no response and resolution till date. I finally took the credit card dispute route. They are only interested in taking your money and nothing else. And also don’t ever think you can compete in this game without spending money. This game is designed as a pure cash grab machine to fool customers. If you love cricket games, stay away from this and keep your peace of mind. **Developer response:** The in-game purchases are optional and do not affect the gameplay in any way. Please help us on why you feel this way at nikita@hitwicket.com.📝 ### 1/5 — FIX YOUR APP *2026-08-15, version 12.31.0* Stuck in a loop when being forced to play PVP saying there is a problem with the internet, there isn’t! No way to avoid it so haven’t been able to play for days. Such a shame, game play is good but doesn’t matter if you can’t play it for more than 5 mins! ### 1/5 — After Game 18….. *2026-08-11, version 12.30.0* Forget playing as it becomes impossible to win unless you spend a fair few pounds on buying the add on’s was good but now just a cash grab ### 1/5 — Useless Game Stats Logic *2026-08-05* I have maxed my players but my batsmen miss even on 80+ as well and my opponent who has low stats than me still hits almost 20+ per over. Can’t understand the logic. If it happens a few times, it’s understandable but it’s happening almost every game. I don’t know what logic has been written but at least game should behave according to stats logic. If my player is 60, 70 or 80+ on shot probability then sometimes, it’s acceptable that it falls on no hit percent but like full over it’s landing , that’s confusing **Developer response:** The shot probability is calculated based on a lot of attributes including power, passive traits, cosmetics, ball type, shot type etc. These are pure probabilities. Do mail us at nikita@hitwicket.com📝, your suggestions are welcome. ### 1/5 — Idiot game *2026-08-03, version 12.29.0* This idiotic game is the worst game in the world so quit uninstall or delete it it’s terrible ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-08-02, version 12.29.0* I have spent so money to buy players, training points to upgrade them but the players just don’t perform at all. They cannot score runs and get out cheaply against bowlers with low rating. High rated bowlers also get smashed easily. ### 1/5 — Consistently matched with stronger teams. Rigged Game. *2026-07-31* Good game but as a free tier you are not going to win after a certain level. You will hit a wall and will not be able to upgrade the players without paying. They say that if you don’t buy *optional* updates it won’t impact the game play - that’s a lie. If you are at the top of weekly chart, you cannot win the following week and you will consistently lose. At the end it’s rigged so you are forced to pay. Used to be a good game at some point of time! This is how people stop playing these games because they get frustrated! **Developer response:** The in-game purchases are optional and do not affect the gameplay in any way. Moreover, the game is not biased towards any of the players. This is the play of percentages. We assure you there is no rigging in our match engine to specifically make you lose certain games.

I spent thousands of rupees on this game, including purchasing the ₹1000 Season Pass every month, and spent years building my team one player at a time. Sadly, I regret every rupee I spent. Ranked matchmaking is terrible. My Level 85–89 team is constantly matched against Level 100 teams, making months of hard work meaningless. The game is also full of technical problems: Server disconnects during matches. Random freezing. Mobile overheating. Poor optimization. Even 90% chance shots miss at crucial moments, making the gameplay feel frustrating instead of rewarding. Every month, new players with overpowered traits are released for ₹3,000, ₹5,000, ₹10,000, and even ₹15,000. Instead of fixing the game's major issues, it feels like the developers have become more focused on monetization than on improving the player experience. In my experience, if you don't keep spending money, progression becomes painfully slow and it's difficult to play more than a handful of meaningful matches each day. I have cancelled my subscription and requested that my account be permanently deleted. Warning to new players: Read the recent reviews carefully before downloading this game or spending any money. There are many games that provide a fairer experience and better value. I wish I had known this before investing my time and money. **Developer response:** We are sorry that you had to face this, and would love to look into your issues and resolve them for you.
