Game buffers when I am winning

Game keeps buffering whether I am in WiFi or not and now I can’t even get into the game. Very frustrating.

RnG game (luck based)

If you enjoy gambling then it is the perfect game for you. It is basically TFT but cheap.

Sort of fun

I’ve put quite a few hours into this game over the past week and here are my thoughts after getting to 1600 trophies.

1. Progression for units is pretty slow when it comes to upgrades. The majority of units are locked so a lot of your packs only give cards towards unlocked units you have making packs feel boring.

2. The prices are wild and a pretty clear money grab. The game will over to unlock a unit for $6! Hero variety is also bland and slow to progress.

3. The units need balancing, some of the units are just non starters and the abilities are pretty bland. Heroes also need balancing, the plasma bot lifelink ability is crazy broken.

Overall it’s been a mid experience, I hope the team behind this game examines some of these pain points and implements some fixes.

Mechanics

Good strategy game!

Fun

Pay to win

Too confusing

I can’t hide the fact that this game is a direct ripoff from merge tactics clash Royale, however, that doesn’t matter. The game is alright but any new player is just bombarded with too many cards to choose from, given very little time, it’s incredibly hard to build a proper team without being confused and overwhelmed. I think this game would be much better if you could equip certain cards and battle instead of using all the cards. Other than that the game is fine, but if you are able to add that feature please do.

Best new game I’ve played!

The art and feel and gameplay is all incredible. So glad I found a game that isn’t pay to win.

Response from developer

Thanks so much - really glad you're enjoying it! We put a lot of care into keeping it fair and fun, so this means a lot.

Super Unterhaltsam

Eine gute Mischung aus Autochess und Merge mit paar tollen Extras. Hoffe da kommt bald mehr, lohnt sich aber jetzt schon.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! Freut uns sehr, dass dir die Mischung gefällt. Es kommt definitiv noch mehr — bleib gespannt!

Finally another good strategy game

I’ve been loving this game. I really hope we can see the community grow with the game. I have a lot of hope for it.

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words! We're working hard to grow the community right alongside you - appreciate you being part of it early on.

Quality over quantity

Tutorial of different units needs some attention. Felt very rushed. Same could be said for the heroes. The preparation timer could use an indicator of expiring time, both audio and visual instead of just going to 0 and battle starting. Having access to locked characters gives players something to look forward to unlocking if they like the abilities or mechanics but it's very overwhelming in the preparation phase when random characters are in your deck that you didn't assign.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! We're passing this along to the dev team - especially the notes on the prep timer and locked characters showing up unassigned, that's really useful and specific. Appreciate you taking the time to write it all out!

Rating

After A little while of playing it I see the true side of it it was a great game I won’t lie great graphics,characters and all that but it’s already getting pay to win when you start to get to the highest ranks it’s nothing but pay to win be use your trying to catch up to all the people who have high level cards they’re probably grown men with money spending habits not saying it’s bad if they want to spend their money on it but I mean come on it literally ruins the game for new players.

Response from developer

Appreciate you taking the time to write this. Good to know the hero art and card effects are landing the way we hoped — that's a big focus for us. Progression and balance at the higher ranks is something we're continuing to refine as the game grows. Thanks for the honest feedback.

Good

I’m hooked

Response from developer

Awesome! We've got a lot more content and features coming for Rift Wars, so stay tuned.

Fun to play

The game shows you the basics then after a few matches you easily pickup on the combo plays. Hoping the game stays fun.

Response from developer

Glad the learning curve is clicking and combo plays are starting to click into place! We're committed to keeping Rift Wars fun long-term - appreciate you being here.

Much needed after the loss of clash mini and merge tactics going downhill

I like tft and dota autochess but wanted something in between the complexity of those and the easiness of merge tactics. This scratches that itch. Only downside is card/character levels existing outside of the individual match. But yk mobile game shenanigans. I only hope the monetization isn’t insanely evil and that the devs actually care about making a good game.

TLDR
I love the game but the monetization is scary for longevity.

Really glad the mix of depth and accessibility is landing for you! Totally hear you on monetization concerns - we're building Rift Wars for the long haul and want it to stay fun and fair as it grows. Appreciate the honest feedback, it genuinely helps shape what we prioritize next.

Fast Based Auto Battler that beginner friendly

This game feels super nice to play even when losing. I know starting off a review this way sounds odd but the gameplay itself is fun winning or loosing. Matches are not dragged out and give variety to each match as you progress. Love the constant randomness of the matches modifiers and team builds. Game has amazing counter building of teams and really well put together team comps that are easy to understand. Yall are doing great, please keep going, and you’ll have my support for a very long time.

Response from developer

This is exactly what we hoped for - that even losing feels fair and fun, not frustrating. So glad the modifiers, variety, and counter-building are landing the way we designed them. Means a lot, thank you for the support!

Divertido, mas não funciona

Jogo divertido, mas com problemas técnicos. Estou jogando e ele fecha o jogo no meio da partida, deixando impossível ser competitivo. Isso acontece tanto no iPhone 13 quanto no IPad. Me arrependi de ter comprado o passe de batalha.

Response from developer

Sentimos muito pelos travamentos — isso não deveria acontecer, ainda mais durante uma partida competitiva. Poderia nos contar mais detalhes pelo support@reflection.games ou no nosso Discord? Vamos verificar seu caso, incluindo o passe de batalha. Obrigado pela paciência!

Baited Again

Game could be super fun, but 5 minutes in and multiple pop up for pay for power. Getting sick of games like this.

Response from developer

Appreciate you flagging this - we're taking a look at early-game offer pacing. Feedback like this genuinely helps us make the game better.

Buggy shutdowns

Game looks great and mechanics are solid, a little hard to learn new units since I can’t see their attributes without buying. Biggest issue is it closes every session in game. Seems crashes are about every 2-3 minutes almost unplayable.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! Really sorry about the crashing — that frequency isn't normal and we want to fix it fast. Could you email support@reflection.games or hop on our Discord with your device details? On unit attributes, appreciate the note — we'll take a look at how that's surfaced.

F2P stay away

Forget playing if your F2P. It’s only for pay to win.

Response from developer

Thanks for giving Rift Wars a shot and sharing your take - we're always working on making progression feel fair for everyone.
