### 1/5 — Ridiculously brutal and tedious

*2026-05-27, version 4.1.3*

This game (both this and the physical version) is one of the most frustratingly tedious and disheartening games I've ever played.  Villains are so overpowered, with abilities that just continuously drain all heroes, making it incredibly difficult to win.  One villain has a minion that prevents ALL damage to all other villain cards AND reduces damage to itself. Meanwhile the other minions it protects do damage to heroes and force them to discard. The first turn I played against that villain, all heroes had to discard half their hands as well as take damage. Then when it was finally the heroes turns, they could barely touch the defender since most abilities only do 1-2 damage.  Another villain has minions that cause another card to be played from the villain deck, which can lead to huge chaining of playing cards - you can end up with like 10 minions in one turn! Then you have to try to manage/track all the abilities of those cards plus all the ones from your heroes, making gameplay incredibly tedious and confusing.
If I wanted to be frustrated, depressed, and confused, I could just go get completely drunk and throw my money out the window, and it would be easier than playing this game.  Why would anyone want to play a game that's so intentionally discouraging?

### 1/5 — I wholeheartedly regret this purchase

*2026-03-16, version 4.1.3*

ive seen this game on here for years but always thought, that seems a bit overpriced. i recently saw it on a big 80% off sale and i grabbed it and first season pass or whatever. im still annoyed i paid 8 bucks for that. if the whole shebang (game with all dlcs) was 5 dollars, id still not recommend it to myself. 

pricing aside, i can see why this kind of asymmetric/coop game would be loved—unique powers, lots of combinations—but many of the characters have identical cards with different names. also, many villains have cards (like ongoing) that if you havent chosen a character to address it than youre done! so there isnt much variety in characters ultimately (outside of some flavor) and youre limited in variety due to a need to counter. to make matters worse, some characters are more than useless (that knock-off deadpool character comes to mind)!

i genuinely dont understand the price tag on a game that is surpassed on all fronts by other free games that only have one dlc to unlock all content.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-05-10, version 4.1*

Such a fantastic card game. I have the physical base game and a few expansions. Love the game and the digital version is just as good maybe even better because I don’t have to remember all the bonuses, shuffle all the decks etc.

The physical game is more fun with other people though since I just pull it out and we can play but love playing the app solo.

### 1/5 — I want my money back…

*2024-01-08, version 4.1*

Every time I play this game I lose.
It’s not that easy to figure out, the heroes are very weak and the villains are super strong and every time I play through it I can’t figure out why when I play a hero card, my hero takes damage. What a stupid game, don’t waste your money.

### 3/5 — barrier to entry is high

*2023-04-17, version 4.0*

I play a fair amount of fiddly games and Sentinels of the Multiverse is one of the fiddliest games I’ve ever played. Balance is dictated by min max players, and makes it hard for new players to ramp up easily. Don’t even think about trying to play with a random set unless you figure it out all the different min max capabilities of all carts. However, once you figure out all the different cards, it’s a pretty fun game. It’s just difficult to get to the fun part.

### 2/5 — Major security risks

*2022-12-18, version 3.2.7*

Several links from your multiplayer system have a severe risk of sending users to risky sites, and it scares me immensely to even use your app now. Please fix if able, ‘cause it is extremely unnecessary and avoidable.

### 1/5 — Soldi buttati

*2022-03-18, version 3.2.7*

Lento e terribilmente noioso, oltre al costo iniziale già alto chiede altri soldi per sbloccare praticamente ognj cosa.

Soldi buttati.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game!

*2022-03-04, version 3.2.4*

A really fun game that is very thematic. Don’t be put off by other reviews claiming it’s too complex or difficult (it’s not, and this is coming from someone that’s never played the physical version).

You play as a team of heroes each with their own unique deck of cards that form their abilities playing against a villain deck along with an environment deck. On your turn you can play a card, use a power on one of your cards already in play, and then draw a card (or skip steps 1 & 2 to draw two cards instead). Villains each have their own unique deck and will play cards, activate their cards in play and generally do nasty stuff to you on their turns. Between the heroes and villain turns the environment (again, each with its own unique deck) will get a turn putting hazards/events into play that the heroes will need to deal with. Villains, heroes, and environment decks can each be mixed and matched for a ton of different combinations.

The strategy comes from clever card play/combinations and managing the multiple threats while trying to reduce the villain’s life to zero.

Lots of great strategy and interesting decisions to make.

### 5/5 — Encore mieux que le jeu de carte original

*2021-09-05*

Superbe adaptation du jeu de carte, qui rend le jeu plus agréable à jouer puisque que l’app fera le fastidieux travail de décompte des points pour vous.

### 3/5 — I want to love this

*2021-06-13, version 3.1.6*

I love comics. I love card based games. But after an hour and going through the tutorial i am still confused. I am sure it is great but the cards pop up for like 5 seconds and then disappear before I can read them. There are so many concepts firing at you so fast that it feels like I am just clicking stuff and am along for the ride. But I will keep trying as I really want to love this
