So since I wanted to support indie creators, and look for some more games to play, I discovered the Mighty Switch Force series, and I loved it a ton. Easily one of my favorite game franchises. This game being no exception. While it’s not really a “game” game like the other MSF games in the series, it’s definitely really fun and a good time killer! It’s the type of game someone would play when they’re bored, passing the time, etc (think Angry Birds, Subway Surfers, etc.) and I think it does the job well. My only downsides is the ads and reuse of soundtrack from the previous games, but that’s to be expected. Many mobile games have ads so it’s not too much of an issue for me, and it doesn’t make much sense to get a whole soundtrack commissioned for a little mobile game already apart of a series (unless if you’re like Nintendo or smth lolz (plus the soundtrack is filled with bangers so I don’t mind listening to them again!)) So, coming from a fan of the MSF series, I honestly would recommend this game. It’s nothing groundbreaking but it’s simple, fun, and that’s really all I need! ### 5/5 — Fun, gotta love the MSF characters *2022-12-27* Transitions good to mobile controls ### 4/5 — Good game but… *2022-10-07* Any plans to update this and Risky’s Revenge to better support iOS 16? Thank you. ### 1/5 — I gave a one star rating because... (am still wayforward fan) *2019-11-26* So since I didn’t play the game in a long time I decided to play it again but... then at one point it kept popping up to buy more levels and I wasn’t even tapping the button to do that so I delete the app and it popped up one last time and it didn’t do it again The end (REAL ok bruh) unless... it does it in the future.. ### 5/5 — Juegazo *2017-10-07, version 1.3* Lo recomiendo al 100%. ### 5/5 — Good *2017-03-23* Good. But..... make the first game in iOS where you get the prisoners. Other than less it good ### 1/5 — It could be fun, but... *2017-03-05* I recently downloaded this game again since I had fond memories of playing it the first time I discovered it, but I soon discovered a reason to put the game down again. The gameplay and soundtrack seem pretty entertaining, but the bulk of the time spent on this app was waiting through advertising. I didn't have much of an opportunity to appreciate the artwork or music since the levels were short and an advertisement would pop up at the end of each level. It might just be my device (iPhone 6S, iOS 10.2.1), but the game would freeze on the ad, and I'd have to fully close and restart the app. After repeating this for about 20 minutes, I finally decided to write this review. I'm sure the game is great, but it's no fun if it's such a struggle to play. ### 2/5 — CANT CLOSE THE ADS *2017-03-04* FIX THE ADS WAYFORWARD ### 1/5 — Does not work *2016-11-10, version 1.3* App never loads and stays on loading screen. Nothing changes. Will wait for update to see if it gets fixed. ### 5/5 — Mighty switch force *2016-09-18* Please help me this game keeps me on the loading screen when I got it back. ## Frequently asked questions about Mighty Switch Force!
