### 4/5 — Absolutely devastated

*2026-03-15, version 7.88*

I was actually really enjoying this game, but I unfortunately have to delete it because it made my phone feel boiling hot after only forty seconds. That type of thing really eats up your battery and storage space too.

### 5/5 — Lovely game

*2026-01-18, version 7.88*

Monster city is so fun when you can compete with our people and I just got on the monster level and it is amazing. This is me and I can’t believe that how good this game I thought it will be a bus but my Star Wars is fine. I love it. It’s me sign off.

### 5/5 — AWSOME game but a few things to note

*2024-11-02, version 7.88*

I have been playing ever since it came out, I don’t mind the vertical update, And I have every monster. Not sure what to do now /: It’s still fun to match though.

### 5/5 — Old version

*2023-04-16, version 7.88*

I remember the old version of this game.. I loved it when I was little

### 3/5 — Old update

*2022-09-25, version 7.88*

I want the old update back it was better

### 2/5 — Really glitchy

*2022-08-15, version 7.88*

For a game that requires spending energy points, it has a bad pattern of crashing, freezing, and sometimes just leaving the player with no further options. If you can't match 3 with what's on the board, you are out of luck, chuck.

### 3/5 — Asome

*2022-04-22, version 7.88*

I love ❤️ this game but I think it would be a little bit better if there's little monsters collecting the money 💰 and putting it in your money 💰.

### 5/5 — This is a. Fun game

*2022-04-18, version 7.88*

This game is fun because it is playable offline and online, it has various monster to attack with it is a suitable game for you and your child

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2021-09-11, version 7.88*

Thank you😇😇😇

### 3/5 — Review

*2021-07-14, version 7.88*

I never review games but this has annoyed me too far lol. If there are no moves to make during a battle there’s no option to skip so you essentially have to quit and lose your energy you spent without finishing. This has happened to me like 5 times in a row 🙄
