Once a monster is maxed out, the game continues to give you monster shards for your maxed out monster; these would better be used by giving upgrade material - which seems super hard to come by. A few other things that bug me about the game: when choosing to double the reward to GET more strawberry upgrade material, the reward is only 20% of the original, which is super frustrating, plus when it's time to stop the sliding thing at the bottom after the ad, more than half the time, when you click stop, the slider immediately jumps to the far left @ 1x. So now I've watched another stupid ad for basically nothing. If I never see another Whiteout Survival ad in my life, I will be a happy camper. The shop's availability of berries for gems is RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED. Seriously, you need to change it. How about little potions or something to be able to rearrange the board with fresh tiles? Or perhaps a resurrection item? What's your plan for maxed out monsters - will anything convert to something usable? ### 4/5 — Félicitations *2022-12-13* J’aime bien un bon match3 à voir par la suite bravo ### 4/5 — Monster tales *2022-11-18* It’s a good game but since a update two months ago I ain’t been able to get it to play and I have a lot of time and a little money invested into it so I’m upset it won’t work or play for me know and if I uninstall it to re-install it I lose everything I have done **Developer response:** Hi, Poker_aces, We are sorry that you had problems playing Monster Tales.

Please contact us at: support@monstertalesgame.com Thank you! ### 2/5 — Alright puzzle game, but pvp is awful *2022-05-04* It’s..well, what you expect from this genre But god golly, pvp is just not good. First of all, the way they set it up is that each player has 2 moves per turn, and share a board….yeah this is fine except how you can screw yourself over if your 2nd move creates power ups on the board (especially unintentionally) allowing your opponent to just gain a MASSIVE swing of power and decimate your team. But ya know, that’s just annoying,…what’s outright bad, is that well, let’s say in I don’t know, a low populated game, you don’t find many pvp matches. In which case not to worry, the game has bot matches…. BOT MATCHES, DO NOT COUNT FOR DAILY OBJECTIVES, so a massive waste of time, yay! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for sharing your opinion with us! We are continually working on improving our games and bringing new features and the most thrilling battles! ### 4/5 — Tutoriel a refaire *2022-04-05* Essayer de faire le tutoriel pour qu’il plante 4 fois avant sa fin, plutôt sympa. **Developer response:** We are sorry that you had problems playing Monster Tales.

Please contact us :) ### 2/5 — Fun except pvp *2021-11-14* Enjoy playing most aspects of the game except pvp. Freezes during battle daily and lose medals when battle wasn’t even completed ### 3/5 — PVP *2021-04-24* Encore une fois sa beug en 1vs1 on perd des trophées à chaque fois c’est abusé les monstres en face non pas le même niveau que nous c’est nul ### 3/5 — Pas mal mais... *2021-01-23* Le pvp n’est pas du tout équilibré! Pas assez de cristaux pour faire quoi que ce soit Temps pour couver beaucoup trop long Tout emmène à payer... Manque pas mal de chose pour rendre le jeu intéressant et pas lassant mais sinon pas mal. Juste du boulot à faire ### 3/5 — Fun but slow *2021-01-07* This game is fun and all but the battles are sooo slow. They need to add an option to increase the battle speed ### 4/5 — Enjoyable although trying at times *2020-11-01* This game is enjoyable to play but with the cost of food required to level up my creatures now reaching 100,000 for a single level and no way to obtain food outside of the timed loot boxes or buying them with gems - which are difficult to obtain - I’m now reaching stages that I cannot 3 star because I have to wait so long to get my levels up. Also, the difficulty of the stages escalates far to quickly, I’m up to the third world -stage 96 - with my team power at 2500 and my team is nearly dead before I reach the stage boss. What I’d like to see implemented is either reduced food required to level up or lower the difficulty of the stages. ### 2/5 — Evolve *2020-10-11* It doesn’t let me evolve ### 4/5 — I like this game *2020-09-10* There’s a few connection issues that happen randomly and also as we get new creatures what do you do with them? We cant use them to upgrade our existing ones. I like that the element power goes to the creature and not in a stupid line like the other match 3 puzzle games :) Also, Can you make it so when you trigger a monster special ability, it actually targets the opposing enemy elements. For example if I trigger a water skill on my creaturee it randomly targets an enemy - but it should target the enemy fire creature by default. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — PVP is Garbage *2025-03-13* PVP is an absolute dumpster fire. Half the time the opponent can’t connect so you have to surrender, or it keeps saying sync issue, the turns are done over again forever. The last PVP battle I had I got attacked once and then it said I lost the entire battle…piss poor PVP programming/development ### 1/5 — Nur Probleme *2025-02-20* Spiel hängt ständig und nach Neustart muss man wieder von vorne anfangen da man noch nicht mal bis zur Anmeldung kommt ### 1/5 — Stürzt ab *2025-02-19* Das Spiel stürzt jedes Mal nach 1 min ab und ich muss von vorne anfangen…. ### 1/5 — Fix your servers *2021-07-11* I’m always lagging out off pvp never can get a winning streak an I’m connected to my wifi makes no sense fix y’all’s sevrves for pvp ### 1/5 — Déçue *2021-06-15* Mise à jour avec des gros beug, je fais un niveau avec un œuf garanti avec montre 5 étoiles et j’ai un 3 étoiles en double ... bref revoyez vos mises à jour ### 1/5 — :( *2021-06-04* You are forced to make a lot of in app purchases to proceed. Even after you think you are well buff enough for the level, the opponent still one smacks you ### 1/5 — ;) *2021-01-18* The ad on this game was very good however actual game play is very different the puzzle board allows the enemy to win chucking nothing but rubbish to you and making sure there are no links for you to make combos so the enemy just pummels you to death 💀 and you you can do is watch as your sent 1 link on say 6/7 moves the eggs take 8 hours to hatch and after all that waiting what do you get a rubbish 2/3 star monster there is much wrong here all engineered on cash pay through the nose for egg but you still have to play rigged puzzles 🧩 ### 1/5 — Zu stark... *2020-10-20* Die Feinde sind viel zu stark schon in frühen Leveln. Ausserdem dauert eine Ei Ausbrütung 8h!!??? Das Spiel hängt an manchen Stellen.... ### 1/5 — Not finished game *2020-08-30* What everybody else has been saying, game crashes at level two and never goes past level one. Fix this. ### 1/5 — Bug *2020-08-02* When I joined it would kick me as soon as level two came on and when I would go back in it would repeat the tutorial ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Me desculpa criador por eeu te dar 1 *2026-06-21* O vírus é bug idiota matou o teu jogo eu não consigo entrar mais será que você poderia melhorar urgente tirando esee bugs idiotas e por que isso está estragando a minha diversão este jogo está muito ruim principalmente a arena se você quiser melhorar urgente ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2021-10-28* The best game ever I have been playing this game for a long time now and I can’t wait to see the new creatures ### 5/5 — A really cool and fun game *2020-11-10* I love this game because it is entertaining, and fun! This game is fun because the monsters are cute, but I think they look more like dragons. It is cool how you Match the items and the the monsters have weaknesses.If you never played it you should! ### 5/5 — Levi Williams *2020-10-25* Grate game all of my monters are level 20 more people need to get these game a 😍 ### 5/5 — A really good a cute game! *2020-10-23* This game is different then the other game I have played in a long time. The battling, the art, the monsters themselves, and the matching to attack. This is an entertaining game! For those who have not got it yet, I recommend it! To me it was fun! It really changed me, too. The apps I had, and when I kept playing them, they started to get a little less fun? I don’t know how to put it in words, but having a game like this, is entertaining! (Like I said before) ### 5/5 — Und nochmals *2020-10-14* Das Spiel ist sehr cool aber um ein Ei zu bekommen muss mann zu viel Energie sammeln lg ali ### 5/5 — Best game ever so addicting *2020-09-27* So good recommend it ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2020-08-20* Besides the kick outs it’s pretty good I got some monsters it was fun/who can tell me when fire starter Evo ### 4/5 — Maj ?? *2025-07-27* Le jeu est mort ??
