Stranger things puzzle tale shutting down

I love the game so much but I realized that it’s gonna shut down on December 13 and km gonna miss this game so much because I had this game 2 years ago and I can’t believe it’s coming to the end, I loved battling with the monsters and it was so fun and you could collect characters and beat chapters so I’m gonna miss this game so much it means a lot to me and it was the best game out of the other 2 games and I wished it just stayed forever but stranger things season 5 is the last season so I’m gonna miss this game and I think that’s why this game is shutting down and I’ll remember about this game when it shuts down, Thank you to the creator for making this game it really means a lot to me and thank you to the crew who made this game, and I’m gonna play it until it shuts down so goodbye.

Hey Benjamin950! The decision to shut down the game did not come lightly. While we would love to expand and keep the game running, unfortunately, the decision is final. We're happy to hear you had as much fun playing the game as we had creating it! Thank you for the years of your dedicated support!

My favourite game but

I’m stuck at chapter 14 mission 39, my characters are max rarity and the enemy level is higher. My characters are all lvl 160 and I can’t level them up until I upgrade them, but they’re max rarity, so I don’t know what to do.

Man i love this game!

I have been addicted to this game for weeks! It’s so fun and i love collecting characters. I am super sad to hear it will be shutting down forever! I play this game so much and have been working to get Eddie (the DnD wizard verison) for ages and am sad to hear I may not be able to get him or any other characters i want. I really hope someday this game can come back and be playable again. Just to restate this game is so incredibly made and the art is gorgeous, so this game definitely gets a 5 stars in my book!

Hello, Marner and Billy! Thank you for sharing your feedback, and for the kind review! It's great to hear you enjoy playing the game.

I loved it until I didn’t

I absolutely loved this game and was super entertained by it until I opened it today and my account was gone. It made me re-sing in to Netflix and suddenly the profile I use for it was gone and it was making me restart the game I’ve been playing for over a year 🙃 That profile still shows up on my actual Netflix account but it’s not an option here so I guess I’m just done with this game which is so annoying. I also tried contacting Netflix customer support and was basically told they couldn’t help and I needed to find the contact info for the developer on my own which is super frustrating.

Hi! Really glad to hear you enjoy the game. Thank you for the review!

The game is fun but it keeps deleting progress.

This game is really fun and addictive but it’s really annoying when you play for a while it reloads because you’ve played for too long and I was on this one level for a while and when I got to the boss I was about to win and the game reset. It’s really fun and I like that there are lots of different mini games and stuff. It would be cool if you could customise your profile a bit and if you could make private clubs too but other than that it’s a pretty cool game and it’s a nice escape, super soothing and I’d recommend it to a stranger things fan.

Super fan.

Okay so I never write reviews but I love ST. I’ve been watching worth my family since I was 6 and it first came out. Every season we all watch it together, and when I moved we would watch it on our own TV’s and FaceTime our reactions to everything. I love the way the characters are designed and as someone who normally hates the puzzle game type stuff where it’s all copy and pasted, this is a perfect way to put a spin on it. This is actually perfect.

Hello Amaiah! Thank you for sharing your feedback, and for the kind review! It's great to hear you enjoy playing the game.

Chapters

I’m really annoyed because during a chapter every 3 levels we get the characters saying things to each other but you can only see it once. Pls and I’m begging you when you finish a chapter add a storybook part in the chapter guide so you can watch the lines of dialogue again as some of them I want to reread like lines from the end or beginning of each story which is very funny and interesting.

Too Hard to Level Up

At first, I really enjoyed this game and that it was free to play. However, it quickly becomes too hard to level up your characters. Once you get to level 140, it takes forever to level up the characters. The fact that your other characters can’t level beyond your lowest character on game table is crazy too.

It has been a week, and I have only been able to level up two out of my five characters to level 160 where it will probably take even longer to level beyond that. I have done the daily portal, boss fight, radioed for characters, and I still can not level up. This is taking all the fun out of the game because I am stuck at a level on story mode and on the HNL floor since I can’t level my characters. I keep on dying.

You can tell this would work well for a pay to play game because then you could buy things to help you level faster, but for a free game, making it so hard to level up makes the game start sucking bad.

PLEASE MAKE IT EASIER TO LEVEL UP!!!!

My opinions on the game

So the game is wonderful I have to say that the only things that have made me sad in the game is the difference in hellfire club how you still have to progress a long way in the story battles just to unlock the next map and now I move onto the characters so this is just something that I have to state out how come Barbara gets a character yet you don’t add all the gang members of Kahli in season two because theirs Kahli mick Dottie axel and Eleven(Not for long tho)Yet not the dude with the bear mask

Fun!

Great game! Big fan of the show, I’ve been watching it for years. I got this game because I was bored and I haven’t been since! One problem. I have to wait days on end for new levels and it’s a bit annoying.

HII my name is Henry! And I love stranger things. I’m not a fan of games like candy crush and all that rubbish. But this was very fun.. and I got addicted to it quite fast!! I kept playing as I had a goal to try and unlock as many players/characters as possible including one of my fav! I recommend!!

Hey Henry! Thanks a lot for the review, we love hearing from you and hope you keep enjoying the game!

Great until…

This game is great until you have to level up characters to keep playing. You need to collect multiples of the same characters in order to level up. You have to level up in order to advance and play. You collect characters by winning levels, but you can’t win levels unless get characters, to get characters you have to win levels, which you can’t do till you get characters, do you see the endless circle? One star characters are no help and that’s what you get most of the time and you can’t combine them to level up. You can “buy” certain characters with credits you’ve earned, but you’d have to play a hundred levels to afford one single character, but you need three of that character to level up, so it’s also no help. It becomes a pointless game and you can no longer play without dying immediately and now I’ve just stopped playing all together. I’m not even being whiny because I can’t level up easy. I’ve tried for weeks to get characters to 5 star level. I’d be patient if I could slowly play and eventually get there, but you can’t. Eventually you are at such a high level that you have to have 5 star characters just to play without dying. Now I just die and cannot even slowly get characters to 5 star. So I’m forced to stop playing. I think Netflix needs to play their own game and fix this issue.
