### 3/5 — Waiting for the levels’ background on the team selection being fixed correctly

*2026-08-25, version 346.9860.5*

Edit: Hey devs, don’t forget to fix the levels’ background on the team selection correctly

### 3/5 — Finally

*2026-08-25, version 346.9860.5*

I’ve been playing this game for over ten years and I’m finally strong enough to actually have fun and be able to actually win in the verses mode. This is a pay to win game so that’s why it took me so long. Versus mode is still unfair but it’s finally manageable.

### 3/5 — Unable to load since the new update - 8/20/26

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

A new update arrived on 8/19 for me, and since then, I am stuck at the loading screen, with the red swirly. I have uninstalled, restarted the iPad, check network connection, ect… Once Fixed, I will provide a high rating. Thank you

### 1/5 — Game won’t open

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

After the latest update, the game gets stuck on its 3rd loading screen, even after I uninstalled and redownloaded the game. These bugs are not uncommon.

### 1/5 — New devs ruined game

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

I have played this game for 11 years and really enjoy it but there are new devs in charge and there has been nothing but issues since they took over. Right now you can’t even play the game until they update it next week since there last update broke the game. This might be the final straw that makes me quit for good

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

Another broken build where it won’t load.

### 3/5 — Used to be great

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

This was the best game I’ve played. Been playing for 10+years. Everything used to work seamlessly. Now it’s shoddy buggy loading issues. Stop trying to make the game different and just concentrate on making it actually work. We don’t care about the new stuff we just want a working game

### 2/5 — Bad update

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

Update has stopped MPQ from loading. Hope that a fix comes soon.

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

New update doesn’t open

### 2/5 — Won’t load after update

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

It’s becoming a problem now nearly every time I get an update the app won’t load after and getting a response from the developers is like trying to get blood from a stone. It takes the ages to respond. If at all

### 1/5 — Last update made the game unplayable

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

I love this game, usually it’s a nice way to keep my brain occupied that isn’t too demanding of me. Sadly the latest update has made the game literally unplayable. Which means if you’re invested in it like I am, you’re going to miss out on a lot for however long it is down for. I just wish the devs would take a bit more time to check these things before it goes live.

### 2/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

Every time they update this game it goes Horribly wrong! It either Runs slow or cant get past the Marvel Screen!  Yesterday another update & Bam just Loading constantly!  I Restart my phone & same result. I uninstall & reinstall & same result. What the hell seems like it’s the new Norm since last year you guys cant get an update Right!!   I have been playing since day 1 & i dread when i see a new update. Im about ready to give up on this Game.

### 1/5 — Game won’t load

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

Game is really buggy and currently won’t load. Is this going to be fixed

### 3/5 — This is my favorite game on my IPad, but…

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

Almost every time there is an update it locks up on the load screen.  I have had to delete, re-download, and reinstall my account/characters numerous times.  This has been the case all day today.  I pay the $10 a month and lost an entire day of play!  I know - 1st world problems…there are more important things in life…but, as a paying customer, I’m getting really tired of these lock-ups.

### 1/5 — Worst game ever made

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

Do not download this game, it sucks. The virgin losers who program the game always screw up and cause the game to be unplayable. Every time the game is updated it crashes and it takes days for people to log in again. During that time you lose player cards and missions end without you being able to complete them. Do not give these losers any of your money. Just skip this game.

### 1/5 — Absolute Trash

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

Do better. And do better fast! Game is not loading and now we find out major bug in 345. WTF!?!? How is this a professional company?!?!? Do you test ANYTHING???? TRASH

### 1/5 — Has potential

*2026-08-26, version 346.9860.5*

DO NOT SPEND REAL MONRY ON THIS game. I’ve been playing this game since it first came out. For a while there it was an A grade game but as it’s changed hands it’s gone DOWN HILL. The extreme amounts of bugs and issues and update after update after update… each update seems to come with issues and at times makes the game inaccessible. 
What really hits the biggest nerve is their nerfing of characters. They will often release a character that is strategically great, people realize this they then spend money (real money) to obtain that character and then a couple months later an update will come out in which they take away all that was good about that character and makes them so bad that no one ever uses them again… where I’m from, that’s fraud. Anyway. Used to be good, could still become good again.

### 1/5 — Updated review after recent update

*2026-08-23, version 345.9825.5*

I've been playing this game daily for over 13 years with the same team. But this last “update” has completely messed up gameplay. You need to fix this as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Too many Glitches

*2026-08-21, version 345.9825.5*

Doesn’t load game, even after loading 100%… infinite red spnning circle inside another red spinning circle. Been like this ALL nght!

### 1/5 — Fun but

*2026-08-21, version 345.9825.5*

Over all I enjoy the game but since the last update it will not load so I will have to give a 1 star

### 1/5 — Locked out of game

*2026-08-21, version 345.9825.5*

Game has been getting worse over time not better, recent  release won’t even load me into the game.  Pretty sure I am done at this point.

### 1/5 — They hate the players

*2026-08-21, version 345.9825.5*

This game used to be great. Now whoever is coding it must’ve skipped the day they taught coding at coding school. Latest update is a good example. They basically rolled out an update that renders the game nonfunctional. You simple can’t login. Development says they’re trying for a fix by next week. Meanwhile the game itself relies heavily on timed events and scheduling. 
Don’t bother with downloading. They hate the players.

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2026-08-20*

Every update comes with some kind of problem. The last update prevented the game from starting. It just gets stuck on the loading screen.

### 1/5 — Game won’t load

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

Since last update game won’t load. Deleted and reinstalled game and that didn’t do a thing to help.

### 1/5 — Bugs and BS

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

Hard to review a game you can’t even get to load. The developers have truly lost the plot.

### 1/5 — Broken game

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

They forced through an update that broke the game for every user.

### 5/5 — Still good but….

*2026-08-26, version 346.9860.5*

I’ve been playing since 2012 and loved it until the Avengers movies started coming out. Then, it tried to overwork itself trying to keep up. Bad graphics, wayyyy glitchy and sometimes doesn’t even load up. Besides that, great game!!

### 5/5 — Problem

*2026-08-21, version 345.9825.5*

Um I can’t play this game because it keeps getting stuck on the opening loading screen after the recent update is there anything that can be done on your end please thank you

### 5/5 — What’s going on?!

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

Thank you for implementing my suggestions regarding my past version of this review! New problem, the load sequence won’t take me to the Main Menu after I updated this app. I have tried reinstalling the game and rebooting my device and still cannot get to the Main Menu. I tried loading into the game with and without a wifi connection as well. Are you trying to lock out your player base who enjoy Deadpool’s Daily Missions and main quests? I understand the need to optimize a piece of software to debug it semi-regularly, but this is a whole new level of weird. I’ve been playing this game since its release. I enjoy this game and love the mechanics and micro-strategies for resource-gathering. Keep up the great management. Please release a patch ASAP! Thank You!

### 5/5 — Stuck on loading screen

*2026-08-20, version 345.9825.5*

I love the game but I sometimes get stuck on the open loading screen

### 5/5 — underrated game

*2026-07-29, version 344.9539.7*

This game is amazing. I remember playing this game a long time ago, back in 2013. Which is actually the year it came out. I got it in December I believe. At the time there was still in its potential spot but like anything else, with time it becomes greater. So, I recently downloaded it again, probably January of 2026 and it’s changed so much; for the better! 

There are way more Marvel characters than I can keep up with. Of course you want to keep all the covers you get but unless you pay to get more space you’re forced to lose them or sell them for crystals. It’s ok because down the road you eventually run back into those covers you need for newer missions, etc. I’ve spent probably $100 alone because I chose to. It’s addictive, keeps you entertained, kills time, and the developers have really kept it authentic. In the words of Deadpool, “Your crazy matches my crazy.”

### 5/5 — Frequent Crashes / Possible 60fps Issue on iPhone 17

*2026-06-14, version 342.0.718153*

On iPhone 17 and the latest version of iOS, I am experiencing frequent app crashes accompanied by screen shaking/flickering! There is a high probability that a 60fps issue is the primary reason. I hope this gets fixed as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Game ruined

*2026-05-31, version 342.0.718153*

I have been playing for 6 years and with in the last 9 months of play it sucks now. The game crashes every 2 rounds. I have wrote to the developers but never get an update the actually fixes the bug. I don’t play anymore like I use to.

### 5/5 — Wish I had my old account back

*2026-05-26, version 342.0.718153*

Used to be my favorite game to play for hrs on end but the update made me lose all my progress. Very demoralizing to say the least

*update*
I got my old account back. All is right with the world again!!

### 5/5 — Still great and fun

*2026-04-01*

I’ve been a long since game first came out which is kinda crazy to think it’s 13 years and it’s had its up and downs with so many different changes like adding dailies for extra character ranging form 4 with 1 weekly a few years into the game to now where there are 8 daily quests giving you in game currency and tokens to draw characters with 1-2 weekly depending on what week of the month and they give you token to draw highest tier characters. Making this game very free to play friendly. It can be a grind fest at times but with constant character release and event going off (even though they do repeat the events) they also give you a bonus for joining an alliance (a guild) for extra bonus perks such as rankings that give extra bonuses as a alliance and individual ones. You can also prank the lowest tier characters and turn them into higher tier with upgrading and combining copies of characters (which can give you bonus tokens for extra character draws) they often give out free stuff as well.

### 5/5 — Stop update

*2026-03-31, version 340.0.714910*

Please stop update every weeks
