### 4/5 — I love this game. But it keeps cheating me out of rewards.

*2020-12-11, version 1.5.6*

This game is one of the best games I have ever played. But it is supposed to be giving me a free reward for watching a video. But every time I come back to claim it, it says “Waiting for more videos” and it has done this 2 to 3 times each day for 3 days. I should be getting at least 4 rewards but because of this problem, I am only getting 1 or 2 each day. Please fix this problem & this game will be one of the best games I have ever played.

### 3/5 — Random crashes ruin everything

*2020-09-14, version 1.5.6*

I love this game honest but I have a small problem whenever I have enough crystals to open a portal more than once (which isn’t very often otherwise this would be a HUGE problem) the game crashes takes my crystals and any rewards I got second-minutes prior to the crash and all in all ruins my experience with the game for the next half-hour to day depending on how much I lost PLEASE fix this PIKPOK please!

### 3/5 — Please fix difficulty

*2020-05-20, version 1.5.5*

I first started playing this game probably around a year ago and I loved it.  However I eventually got bored and deleted it because I did not like how hard it was to get summons. However, I was scrolling through the App Store and this game caught my eye because I remembered liking it. So I started playing the game and I loved the new reward system for clearing waves.  It makes it so much easier to get summons.  The only problem is that some of the wave rewards give Apocalypse Points which you normally get from resetting back to wave 1.  What this means is that I have been playing for about a day now and I have become way good for only resetting once.  I would recommend not giving away Apocalypse Points as wave rewards at all.  I hope that the makers read my review and make some changes because when a game is this easy it is not fun.

### 4/5 — Could be great

*2020-01-18, version 1.5.4*

4 out of 5, entertaining and fun to play, although bugs need to be fixed such as crashing after watching an ad. Also the “stomp” “leap” “slam” abilities need to be reworked so you can jump in the middle of a pile of enemies instead of at the edge. Every-time you leap or jump you only kill like 3 enemies because the jump places you at the edge of the group of enemies instead of jumping right in the middle of them.

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2019-10-27, version 1.5.1*

It’s a fun game but I been having mad bugs lately and I’ve reset the game and my phone. 1. When I switch my monster multiple times it gets stuck and won’t let me change it again. 2. When I earn infamy points it makes the sound over and over again until I beat another boss. 3. My monster disappears for no reason and the tanks and stuff are sitting there shooting but literally those nothing. If these little bitty bugs get fixed this game’ll be fun or whateva.

### 4/5 — Amazing but needs improvements (please read)

*2019-08-31, version 1.4*

Please allow us to keep are ultra energy stuff for the special upgrades, or else you lose it when you apocalypse you lose all of it.  Please also make it easier to get gems without paying.  Thank you for reading this review. Also, when are pets coming out

### 3/5 — Glitchy yet fun

*2019-07-02, version 1.3.5*

the gameplay is very amusing to watch and play and the monsters are very creative, HOWEVER the lack of a ability to farm consistently for monsters dna and a game breaking bug that resets your squad skills every time you close out the game SEVERALLY hampers what very well could be a top charts game, holding out for a update that will at least fix the bug (at which point I will give it a extra star)

### 4/5 — I am monster

*2019-06-22, version 1.3.4*

I really like this game but for the past few days it’s been kicking me out when I upgrade my monsters an it’s getting annoying also when will the new monsters appear seeing I’ve been playing since last year an there is no other monsters

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2019-05-28, version 1.3.3*

There’s so much room for improvement and I can’t wait to see where it goes.

Monster fights can go way too fast for you to use abilities. You’ll be losing in an instant and there will be no time to do anything.

At the same time, defeating enemies is too easy. Wayyyy too easy. There won’t even be time to use abilities because walking damage is so high. Incentivize using the skills!

Can we fight friends or fight online? I feel that would be so much fun.

Please make it easier to use abilities during boss fights. Managing between 3 monsters is difficult, so it may prove to be nicer to just have the 3 abilities all lined up in a column right above each picture of the monsters.

It may be super fun to nerf every monster, but have all three out at all times. There’s so much potential for teamwork between the monsters!! There could even be upgrades for combined abilities. Perhaps make it possible to control the movement of the monsters by touching the screen? Maybe put collectibles on the map?

(FIXED: Thank you so much for this! It changes everything!) The loading screen between each district can interrupt menu navigating. It can be slightly annoying.

This game is so much fun. Keep at it!

### 4/5 — Great Game with Annoying Bugs

*2019-05-13, version 1.3.1*

This is generally a great and original game, but there are some bugs in the advert handling that can cost you large amounts of energy and frustration. The game freezes in a black screen after particular adverts end, particularly when you are watching to double your energy. I believe the ads in question are ones which would normally end by redirecting you to the App Store.

### 5/5 — Evil General Mech

*2019-05-08, version 1.3.1*

First off great game, i enjoy my monsters. Just a idea, The mech bosses that we fight maybe y’all can give us an evil version of the final form. I agree with one of the other reviews, i want some back story because it seems like the the girl researcher is the only one trying to help me destroy the world (which is kinda weird FYI) but still fun nevertheless. I just wanted to say keep it up and if i’m going to complain about anything is that i don’t want to compete with the people that pay the $9.99 per month during an event. I grind thru my game without paying. it’s not fair that i can’t get my first places because the “VIP’s” have an advantage. us regular players deserve our own lobby. it’s kinda discouraging seen VIP at the top. it’s kinda like saying you gotta pay us if you want the strongest monsters. Also while i got you, can we get a versus mode.

### 3/5 — Becomes a useless game after a while

*2019-05-08, version 1.3.1*

Fun at first but then after a while you dont make as much resource, bosses out of nowhere one shot you, You lose a ton of resource after your first purchase after not logging on for a while, You dont earn enough summons and even if you are a pay to play player you arent going to get very far because the outrageous prices for the amount of items you recieve. Fun while it lasted.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2019-03-23, version 1.1.1*

EDIT: game hasn’t been updated for a month now. Upgrading slows to a crawl once you get fairly into the game. Events haven’t come out, pets haven’t come out. I’d like to be patient but it’s kind of a bummer to receive nothing from the devs

Great game. Good graphics, easy to play and not many issues. I experienced one bug that would see my monsters getting stuck after completing districts. This seems to have been fixed in the last update! The monsters are awesome and it’s fun to watch them destroy things. I only have one issue, I think the mission requirement for apocalypse becomes a bit too steep later. The prices for upgrades become hugely steep and require either multiple resets with no improvement for one upgrade, or waiting days and days as missions reset to hit the requirements.

That’s really my only gripe, otherwise it’s a ton of fun and I can’t wait to see what new monsters and events you guys have in store!

Oh also, I had an issue with losing some items and GMs responded within hours replacing the items. Good team behind the game!

### 3/5 — Not Really Idle

*2019-03-09, version 1.1.1*

The graphics are good, the colors are bright, the monsters have fun designs but you have to have the app open to make progress. The “idle” portion of the game comes from your monsters gaining experience points while you’re away. This sounds more useful than it is because once you “prestige” those points are reset anyway. So the ONLY way to make progress is to have the app open. As a non-idle game, it’s boring. It would be pretty fun if it was truly idle.

### 3/5 — Good game, but boring

*2019-02-20, version 1.1.1*

Been playing for a while and have been treating it as any other idle game, but it doesn’t seem to function that way. It seems there’s only any progression if I’m actively in the game, which presents a different problem: I can’t determine there being a real attainable goal within this game.

It takes too long to progress anywhere for me to stay actively invested in the game, and it takes even longer to upgrade monsters. This, paired with only being able to equip three monsters, creates an issue with the pacing of the game since it takes so long to upgrade the only three I care about and an equally lengthy amount of time to upgrade newly acquired monsters to the same standing as my regular three.

I also see what you did with receiving DNA tokens when defeating monster bosses, but monster bosses are so infrequent that “1/20 DNA tokens” doesn’t make that monster sound even relatively obtainable. Even if you have the monster unlocked, a common DNA is really nothing of a reward at all.

There’s just no sense of satisfaction I get from this game, and seeing the same district number every time I open the game just makes it seem less interesting. Can’t keep this one downloaded.

### 4/5 — Great game, slow staging

*2019-02-14, version 1.1.0*

From my countless hours of playing the game, the only complaint I have is the slow progression of the districts. As I’m going higher and higher in districts, when I apocalypse, it takes a long time to get to where I was before I used apocalypse. Otherwise, the gameplay and graphics are phenomenal; the neat twist of having multiple monsters makes the game more appealing

### 3/5 — Fine Overall, Minor Tweaks Needed

*2019-01-20, version 1.0.6*

There are many aspects of this game which are enjoyable:  character and environment design, destruction physics, and the triumph of beating other enormous monsters.

Downside:  “crafting” DNA or “enhancing” is not always by choice (You cannot enter the Crafting screen once you’re able to enhance a monster), it’s unclear how many or when you receive portal crystals, and there are issues when you’re upgrading your monster and combat being locked.  For some reason, if you’re upgrading and your monster has reached the end of a level, it will either freeze or keep batting before moving on to the next level or Boss.  Even in auto-brawl mode.

### 1/5 — Constant Crashing

*2022-07-10, version 1.5.6*

I have recently started running into issues where the game crashes when swapping from Campaign to Event, when watching certain videos, and now when using the summoning portal. When the game crashes on the first 2, it’s an annoyance, however you lose the crystals and the item gained from the portal when the game crashes after summoning. I just lost 250 crystals, a legendary Mechazora dna, and the quest for summoning…good job team!

### 1/5 — Unsatisfied and no refunds

*2018-12-27, version 1.0.5*

Well..been playing for like a week before I bought the monthly $9.99 pack which includes double dna when summoning, 50 gems daily and more mission. After the purchase I ALSO bought $100 worth of crystals for summoning..after the purchases were completed I got onto summoning and noticed...that I am not getting any double dna from summoning. Also when purchasing item from cache didn’t receive it. Contact support and all I got back was 500 crystal from the glitch from cache... no refunds and any further informations. Am disappointed and will not play nor spend any time playing again!

### 1/5 — Keeps erasing millions of resources

*2018-12-20, version 1.0.4*

As an idle game, I thought I would give this a try as it means collecting resources to level up my monster squad without having to be on all the time. The theme of giant monsters destroying different landscapes is appealing enough... 

But my biggest gripe is when I’m offline then log in after a day or so, to gain then lose a substantial amount of resources.

When I start up I get a prompt notice informing me of how much resources my monsters gained while I was away. Just today, I logged on, was informed that I had accrued 14 million in resources, watched as it was added to my previous total– then immediately out of nowhere it dropped by 10 million and left me with 4 million. Which wasn’t a lot to spend on my stat levels which were each between 400 and 450... I wish I could say this happened once but it happened another time before. 

It’s a hard pass from me. Especially when I look forward to how much my stats are going to get leveled and what abilities I’m going to unlock to make my monsters stronger and then to lose it all for some unknown reason... Naw bruh! This error defeats the purpose of this type of game.

### 1/5 — Still having issues with spending Energy

*2018-12-20, version 1.0.4*

I was hoping with the new update that my ability to spend energy again would work, but I still don’t have access to the menus to do so despite me being well into District 14. I still can’t spend energy because the buttons are completely grayed out and locked for me, but my monsters are now way too weak to even get past District 14 because they are so low leveled now. Please fix this, I really don’t want to start all over again.

### 1/5 — Nonstop Knight syndrome

*2018-12-17, version 1.0.3*

This game is pretty buggy but the multiplier is literally trash compared to any other game you have to complete 8 missions to advance the multiplier rather than reaching a new milestone it gives you no reason to ascend levels or even play just quit and wait 7 hours for new missions you might as well just rest once you hit level 30 until you’re satisfied also the milestones don’t add up just replaces the previous one.  
(*note* the multiplier resets back to 1 after an apocalypse)

### 1/5 — Game broke after closing for a night

*2018-12-14, version 1.0.3*

I started the game and played for about an hour or so and got all my upgradable options to level 100+ and I close the game for the night. I try to play the game the next day around noon and open the app to have happily generated 150,000+ of the material used for upgrades. I noticed I am all of the sudden in district 12, my monsters are so weak that they die in one hit and upgrades are locked showing a lock symbol with district 3 next to it. Same goes for the portal. Open and closed the app multiple times and all it did was eras all of my upgrade material and keep everything locked. Decided to uninstall then reinstall for the simple fact of letting the problem be known and testing it again. Please fix this problem or I and others experiencing the problem will believe your game is useless and broken.

### 2/5 — Concept is good, execution is bad.

*2019-12-09, version 1.5.1*

The title says essentially the good part entirely, the concept is pretty good, like warrants maybe 4 stars. However, it does not feel like an idle game. Too many times it opens menu’s, or ads to buy stuff or to watch something, which stops your game from playing. I want to play idle games so I can have it do stuff when I’m paying attention to other things, not so I can baby sit it and make sure that it’s going.

### 2/5 — Issues

*2018-12-20, version 1.0.4*

Great game, I am having an issue because when my phone is idle and the monsters are causing havoc it seems that it will tell me “you’ve destroyed x amount of things and earned x amount of energy” yet when I go to upgrade health 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 or skill it causing all of that collected energy to be wiped away within the first upgrade even though it was only a bit of energy in cost. For example this last time I earned 1.12 mil in energy and I went to upgrade my skill which cost 4K energy but once I upgraded once it went down to 200k left.

### 2/5 — Still Pay to Win

*2018-12-18, version 1.0.3*

It’s just another mobile game in today’s world. It is well made, pretty, and fun at first (I recommend doing an Apocolypse one time and trying to progress after that to really see what the game is about), and then a grind annoyance unless you buy the micro transactions. 

Honestly any mobile game with micro transactions is going to be like this. Everything is scaled back so it’s annoying to those who don’t spend money. 

If you *are* interested in scummy games where it’s all about the money, this game has it all! You get a little bit of ads for marginal reward! You get pushed “special deal” purchases almost right at the beginning! You have a nice pit to throw your gems into at the store! And if you thought that was enough, you also get what the developer is really after, a monthly paid subscription!! $10 a month to really get your “full experience”. Pathetic, sinister, and greedy.

### 3/5 — It’s good but it keeps taking my gems

*2021-10-10, version 1.5.6*

When I go for a summon it lags out and says that I need o retry later and it exits me out of the game the way that means that you aren’t using internet but my internet is on and it’s full once I come back I see that from the 475 now I have 225 and it didn’t give me anything no monster no enhancing items nothing it’s still a good game with good graphics for a Mobile game nowadays but there is some animations for monsters that are stiff like obliviox it’s a bit too stiff compared to the ones you get at the start of the game

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Quality and Looks/Graphics

*2021-12-23, version 1.5.6*

This game is great! It has an amazing style and the amount of detail put into the monsters is amazing, compared to most popular games (“3D” titled games), this one is way, way better! Not only that, but the fact that it is not even finished and yet it works, looks, and plays great just shows how much potential it has!

### 5/5 — Back story and a few other things

*2021-05-11, version 1.5.6*

To start off, the game is amazing i just love destroying the city but when i exit out of the game and go back in sometimes it takes away some of my stuff and one other thing, the game needs backstory otherwise it makes no sense at the start. But otherwise i love this game I play the game the most out of all my games.

### 5/5 — Great game but where are the new monsters!?

*2021-05-06, version 1.5.6*

This game is awesome but they appear to h w abandoned it. Where are the rest of the monsters to fill in the roster? Been waiting a long time for more content as I know others have as well. When will it get new content, monsters, pets, maybe even some unique bosses?

### 5/5 — To the people who think we’re hacking on the events

*2021-04-16, version 1.5.6*

The reason you see people get boss points by 10 sometimes is because of the item Berzerk Candy, now note that i’m not fully sure but I’m like 95% sure it’s because of this. Berzerk Candy registers the stuff you get while using it AFTER it’s effect wares off (except for energy, free gifts, other boss chests that you opened while using the Berzerk Candy) and I’m pretty sure the same rule would apply to the leaderboards which means people could use the Berzerk Candy, fight like 10 bosses in it, and then when the effects ware off the boss points would go up by 10

### 5/5 — A must download ! ✊🏽💯

*2021-03-06, version 1.5.6*

It’s not too simple yet not too complex. You can collect all different monsters , as well as pets . Can upgrade power / health / special , not a game where you have to spend money to enjoy the game , unless you desire a collection of monsters. Pretty dope

### 5/5 — Lies.

*2021-02-14, version 1.5.6*

Whoever rates this game 5* is a complete idiot. The only reason I am is so more can view it. The game constantly crashes, takes my pink crystals when it does crash. The districts are bland and progression is even more dry. Overall I wouldn’t even play this game once every blue moon.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2020-10-17, version 1.5.6*

The game is fun , very different, something new and exciting. I left a review previously because I had an issue with the app, the developers reached out quickly and the issue I was experiencing seems to have been resolved with the most recent update. The customer service and response alone are 10/10, and the game itself is great. I appreciate the response, so I’ve updated my review accordingly

### 5/5 — PvP

*2019-08-31, version 1.4*

I would love there to be pvp and I also got my fav monster today my fave monster is the chompy one with the giant mouth and,no eyes I like those type of monster. I like plant monster to (I just gotta get that out of the way) so yea can you pls add pvp I would love you to do that also, can you make where it’s not so hard to get dna I want to see I giant plant monster. I also love to play as giant monsters 😭😭

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2019-06-25, version 1.3.4*

I am Monster is really a very creative and fun game. You get to demolish a city while trying to improve and collect new Monsters. They keep the game exiting by adding events to participate in, but enough time between them to be able to grow your team and getting new apocalypse buffs. I played the last few days non stop and even ended up being 2nd in a event that allowed me to unlock a hilarious rabbit monster.

I’m giving the game a 5 star rating, but I did experience a few bugs that the dev team hopefully will sort out.
1. My monsters keep getting stuck in building forcing me to restart the app.
2. My monsters doesn’t always keep fighting when I’m offline (and yes auto brawl is ons)
3. I would like to see my monsters use their abilities aswell during auto brawl.

Keep us the good work.

### 5/5 — I am monster

*2019-06-14, version 1.3.3*

Is a great epic rampage kind of game I see lots of potential in it and can def use more monsters and better places to crush besides the same place and only problem I’m having with this game so far is that when I use my apocalyptic ability it freezes and stays pause then restart please help I would hate to find another game I’m content with this so far
