That type of thing really eats up your battery and storage space too. ### 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 💰. ### 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 🙄 ### 4/5 — Epic but still needs fixing *2021-05-19, version 7.88* I love this game but here and there the special battles switch around each other and different ones will glitch and crash and I lose ALL of my energy. PLEASE FIX CUZ I LOVE THIS GAME. ### 3/5 — It used to be better. *2021-02-28, version 7.88* This game was once amazing! Bring back the good stuff! ### 2/5 — The old version was better *2020-11-30, version 7.88* Please bring the old version it was sooooo much better. If this happens then I will be greatly pleased and I'm sure others will to. 5 stars for the old version. I don't care if it had bad graphics it was still great and I say that the bad graphics made it special and so easy to run. Please bring the old version back. ### 4/5 — Plz stop *2020-07-24, version 7.88* Please get rid of the mate requirement to battle it’s retarded and is annoying because I just started and the mate always one shots everything it’s stupid so het rid of it ### 2/5 — Old version needs to come back *2020-07-01, version 7.88* Bring the old version back it was so much better ### 4/5 — awesome game *2020-04-08, version 7.88* this game is really good. although the bosses seem sort of overpowered. ### 4/5 — Monster Details *2020-03-31, version 7.88* So when I first got this game which was YEARS ago I noticed something. As I installed it back since I got a new phone I saw that the monster details and looks changed! I didn’t really like the new version of the looks. The old ones looked better. So please make them the last look cause I don’t really like the new looks. ### 4/5 — AWESOME ☀️💦☄️⭐️🌈💨☔️❄️ *2019-08-31, version 7.88* This game I just got and it is super cool now I would like to say my name but I don’t feel comfortable to so I will just say coconut Any way the game is ok it doesn’t have that much adds not any at all really as I said I just got the game and yet I have $9295 and at least 6 monsters so if your want to BUY THE GAME NOW 😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛 from Abby I mean coconut 🥥😉 ### 3/5 — Bolt locking. *2019-07-30, version 7.88* A lot of times I’m in the middle of fighting and I then run out of moves. Really needs to shuffle the board when you get bolt locked. ### 2/5 — It's great but.... *2019-04-19, version 7.88* It's kind of laggy when doing the battles. I feel like it's going to crash at any second. ### 5/5 — He thinks it’s a little too hard *2019-02-02, version 7.88* And for the guy who said can you make it that you can purchased monsters inStead of collecting them or battling for them like a real monster game should be like Why don’t you just go play one of the other 1700 Monster games which you can buy monster Sick of games with people who spend as much as a Xbox console system and then think they’re kicking Just keep it real guys Don’t let the wallet tell you how good you are ### 5/5 — Great game, but I think I found a bug *2019-01-18, version 7.88* I love this game but when I got to stage 4, after I played the first level, I beat it and level 2 didn’t appear. Even though all of the other levels were in shadow, I could skip to the nightmare king section. Final boss to level one. It’s definitely not just my phone because I got a new phone recently. This might be normal but if it’s a bug please fix it. I want to move on. <•( <•_ ### 3/5 — More space to move *2018-11-04, version 7.88* This game is really cool but you can only move up and down witch is Kinda annoying so that’s the only thing I think you should change ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What happened? *2026-08-30, version 7.88* I used to play the other games you all originally owned (ie. Dragon Village). Why did you give up all your games to horrible developers? What happened to the childhood memories that were made? ### 1/5 — Stealing *2019-06-13, version 7.88* The pictures and every thing in this game ain’t your you just stole it ### 1/5 — Monster *2018-09-25, version 7.88* This is seriously kinda bad, the monsters are cute and all, but I don’t like how there is three-in-a-row thing ### 1/5 — 🤛🏻Clickbait 🤛🏻 *2018-07-30, version 7.88* This Game Is Clickbaited, As The Good Graphic Pictures Above Are Like A Professional Artist Drew It, But In The Game It Is Just Like Any Other Of Zia U's Games. ### 1/5 — Weird *2018-07-12, version 7.88* I deleted it, the monsters weren't cute anymore and it had unfixable glitches. ### 1/5 — WON'T LET ME PLAY!!!!!!!! *2018-06-19, version 7.88* I got to level 49 and when I went to battle it kicked me out. I only put one Star because I can't give it a zero!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will happily write a good review when this problem is solved. ### 1/5 — Fake reviews *2018-05-13, version 7.88* The pictures above are not in the game ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2018-01-18, version 7.88* This game keeps kicking me out even the first time I played it fix please ### 1/5 — Good but bad *2017-12-29, version 7.88* While I was playing this game it was fun but somethings didn’t make sense like when you evolve your monsters nothing changes they just get bigger a little bit some monsters are scary I don’t know if this game should be for young children also I know it’s a game but giving a monster money will evolve it some how? in monster legends it makes more sense you give the monsters food also the music is terrible it’s really boring I would rather play dragon city even if it’s for 4 years old ### 1/5 — No longer progressing... *2017-12-07, version 7.88* Got to lvl 4-76 and the game stopped right there... it went back to default first level and won’t move forward from there... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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😇😇😇 ### 5/5 — Hi *2020-08-05, version 7.88* Cool ### 5/5 — Monster mega *2020-05-19, version 7.88* I love this game but there could be more monsters and more help like good tips that you can learn from.I was thinking about this if you battle three monsters why don’t you get three monsters I just don’t get it.And also why are there boss levels nobody can win and why is there not a daily monster mini game and maybe there can be daily chests to open every day.You have to make more mega monsters and legendary monsters because there is not enough monsters to discover and make more deals levels.Make a level which you can battle your own monsters and it is a 2 part level. Hopefully you will use my ideas.I am so excited bye. ### 5/5 — I love the game *2020-03-31, version 7.88* I love this game because I tried all of the other games ### 5/5 — Problems in the game *2019-07-02, version 7.88* At least fix the bugs or then I will never play this game again ### 5/5 — How do I expand my world *2019-06-02, version 7.88* I have played your game since the very beginning even before you changed how the monsters looked like but know I can’t expand world plz help because I am trying to collect every single monster --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
