P.s some heros are overpowered so they might need some balance changes. Other than that this game is great if they keep updating!! Thank You for such an amazing game!!! ### 4/5 — Great game but not so addicting *2019-01-12, version 1.12.0* This game is fun but just not that addicting so could the company put some thing popular (not that I know of) that everyone who plays this could have a good time. ( sorry it might be because I have a lot of games close to 30 I know that’s a lot) ### 4/5 — Exactly what I needed! *2018-12-02, version 1.11.0* Each monster is equipped with their own power and turn sets . This game is one of the best tun based games I have ever played, and it’s only going to get better! ### 4/5 — Great game *2018-10-20, version 1.10.11* Love this game. Fun adventure mode that gets challenging. Level 13 first match is an extreme difficulty change though...otherwise gameplay is good and you get cards and money quick earlier on so you can progress, but that slows..this last update is glitching out in guerilla warfare...I’ll start but after a few kills the computer stops playing and I can’t do anything other than quit....... **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your rating and your encouragement.

BtW im give 4 star because not supported our language . and Thanks anywhy . i have good time with yours good gameplay. bye an ### 4/5 — Well made game *2018-04-01, version 1.8.2* This is a very nice game to have, there is some glitches/ bugs here and there but overall nice app. Although i which it wasn’t a pay to play kinda game. Nevertheless is a good game to pass the time. ### 5/5 — Good but still like the rest *2018-03-23, version 1.8.0* Give it a try the turn base combat is interesting but it's the same old same old free to ply pay to win ### 4/5 — Tactical Monsters *2018-03-14, version 1.7.3* I really enjoy this game because it plays well, is not confusing, and has good mechanics. I like collecting new characters and using different strategies to beat other players and levels. For some reason though, I can’t update it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Account binding *2021-03-16, version 1.19.2* I’ve been playing for about 2 years. I attempted to bind my account and lost all my progress. I actually had a lot of resources saved up and a decent amount of strong characters. But not anymore, I will update this once I hear back from their customer service. ### 1/5 — Dishonest Developers *2019-10-11, version 1.15.7* The devs offer a promo where they’ll give you 500 units of premium currency if you join a specific channel in their Discord server, enter your player ID number and “wait patiently up to 72 hours” (which in and of itself is lazy and ridiculous). I did exactly as instructed- joined, posted and waited the 72 hours- and, of course, received nothing. I then immediately uninstalled on principle as I have absolutely zero interest in supporting dishonest developers who make false offers and cannot be trusted. I can not and do not recommend this game to anyone. **Developer response:** Hello, sorry for the late reply, we send the rewards daily, they are shipped by in game mail. Everyone gets it, if you missed it most probably you don't have posted the right rumbler ID as stated in the channel instructions. We are sorry for the inconvenient, but is better to open a ticket in game, or ask for direct support in discord, have a nice day ### 1/5 — Dumb *2018-08-23, version 1.10.3* Fix the dumb AI and I'll fix my review. Update... Wow this game isnt dumb or pay to win. It is cheat to win. Countless times the opponents sync to win. It rolls back your last move and counts it as skipped so you basically lose a turn. This happens many times especially if your up against an opponent who is much lower level than you. So many broken things in this game and this is the biggest problem, yet they continue to release more monsters without fixing anything. Glad I havent spent money on this game, people who intend on paying, dont waste your time with this game. Fix these bugs and ill gladly pay to play and give 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2018-04-20, version 1.9.0* Match making is terrible and it’s pay to win the higher you get, if your not gonna spend the money good luck competing. The Dailey rewards are terrible. If you wanted to compete without paying your looking at a longggg time of playing even if your playing and “grinding” every day. He grinding consists of a terrible amount of gold that could t even level a decent monster after 2 weeks of getting the max gold. And not to mention if your not able to join a decent clan your looking at a way longer duration of being about to progress. The company is money hungry, the longevity of this game is not looking good. They do give out a decent amount of gems for free and they do try to fix some of the issues. But they mainly focus on putting out new content rather then fixing the issues inside the game. If you pay to win, this games great you can one shot monster all the way up to the top until you see other pay to win players. Then you might get some competitiveness again if you don’t get bored on the way. **Developer response:** Hello, can you give us more details about your feedback ?

The gameplay is decent, not great. And turn-based game fans will welcome another entry in a neglected field. However, this game fails in most every other respect. It’s a virtual kick in the gamer's dak-dak. First, virtually every single element of this game has been ripped off from other games. Granted, that issue plagues 95% of the titles in the crApp Store. And I’m not opposed to a little intellectual plagiarism in my games when the result is a great game. But this game is mediocre and demonstrates not one single shred of creativity. Worse still the game has changed dramatically to squeeze every last penny from the gamer. Card prices in the shop have skyrocketed. And you will quickly need a LOT of cards to continue leveling your monsters. The free gifts given at 4-6 hour intervals have almost completely evaporated. And the “expeditions” interface that generates cards for the player is utterly broken. The expedition reward depends on the total levels of all monsters sent. However, as I’ve gotten deeper into the game the level targets have ramped up. So my monsters have leveled up but the expedition rewards either remain the same or decrease. Ridiculous. I won’t tell you not to try this game. But if you feed cash into money-grubbing, uninspired titles like this then you’re part of the problem that plagues mobile gaming today. **Developer response:** Hello, can you give us more details about your feedback ?

No strategy or competition involved there, and you lose every time. Would be a lot better to play people who have similar level guys. ### 2/5 — Hit a constant wall *2018-10-22, version 1.10.13* Played it for over a week now. Its really similar to CR in how cards (monsters) are leveled through collecting them. These types of games I think, survives on in game community and PvP. But this game makes the PvP unplayable. PvP is setup where you can hold one card back like its your wild card which suppose to add more strategy into the PvP match however, when it takes a ridiculous time and effort into leveling just a single card then your only playable wild card is that, limiting your strategy. Leveling cards is supported by joining a clan to speed up the process however, it still takes about 2 days to level a card for me and my cards are only lvl 9. To put it into perspective max lvl cards are 20+ so I’m guessing its going to take a lot longer each time I level. Esports is another playable mode but cant even play it since you need 3 cards to be at least level 12... Clans in this game seems to be mostly Chinese. For English speaking players its hard to establish some type of communication with people in the clans and the only reason why someone will be in a clan like that is because those clans are very active. However for newer players, good luck getting advice or making friends on here. In conclusion, it was a good concept but when comparing this to other similar games, its not a smooth and enjoyable, instead its met with constant walls leading to frustration. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your note In tactical Monsters you can have gems and cards in many game modes. which you didn't get to and or mention like adventure or mine defense gurellawarfare rumble tower expedition in the addition to the mentioned pvp and esports and clan chests also, we give gems for each Update, server maintenance and during Camex Events. Also, you can join our Social walls to get free gems every weeks. there more content that you have missed which might make you feel your hitting a wall because you take part in non And We will consider your review to make Tactical Monsters better We work hard to make our world more Monstrous every day! :) ### 2/5 — Pay to win or would be amazing *2018-07-04, version 1.9.7* Short tense and tactical battles which are eventually determined by how much money (and to a much lesser degree, time) each player has spent. Would be a perfect game for ios except for rapacious and short sighted monetization scheme where even minor upgrades are 5-20 dollars. Thus there is no point in investing a small or reasonable amount in game because you must either be a whale or free to play. No significant difference is achieved by just buying in for less than hundreds of dollars. **Developer response:** Hello, Can you please provide more detail regarding your feedback? Please send us a message at support@tacticalmonsters.com. We will consider your review to make Tactical Monsters better and help to solve an technical issues that need resolution. ### 3/5 — Fun but AI can be really stupid *2019-07-26, version 1.14.4* It’s a fun game so far, but my issue is the mine defense game uses AI to control your team and unfortunately it can be very stupid tactical wise. I’ve watched many time when I would lose because my team would not move or attack in the most efficient way. There should be an option for you to take control of your team if you initiate a battle in that mode ### 3/5 — Great idea, poor execution *2018-08-31, version 1.10.5* I absolutely loved this game at first. I still do. It has lots of potential. The pvp system needs work. All my matches are against people a few levels higher then me or if they're my level, there monsters will be impossible levels for them, meaning they payed for them. Its not exactly pay to win, but its pay for huge advantages. PvP should go by monsters total combined levels (your starting 3) not your trophies. That way, it also makes it possible to experiment with some of your newer/lower levels and not be a landslide loss. That or something else to make it fun again. Im deleting it because of all the glitches. They're never ending. It no longer makes matches for me if my trophies drop below 3k. Tired of never ending queues. 5 star for fun and balance of toons 3 star for pvp 1 for glitches **Developer response:** Hello, The matching system takes into consideration the trophies, it doesn't take the account level or the Monsters level. Beginning of the season: all top level players lose their Rank and restart the competition with 3000 trophies . It's normal at the beginning of the season you come across more qualified players because of the new ranking seasonal system. End of the season : There are people with more qualified teams but who play less well and do not climb the rankings or are very slow to go in in their corresponding arena . They just farm their chests daily and rush the end of the season, that's why at the end of the season you can match some players with more qualified teams. We are working on our matching system to make it more fair for all. If you encounter any problem, don't hesitate to send us a message. Welcome to Tactical Monsters ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — How good the game is *2022-06-15, version 1.19.26* The game is so good u can wait while the game makes the choices for u or u can play yourself it’s a really fun game that u can make your own loadout and have a clan. You can fight other real people and fight cpus and can get free stuff in the market but also u have to buy some stuff to get the cards or your team to make a better loadout and if u keep playing u may get better stuff like a legendary cards ### 5/5 — I like this game but still *2021-10-22, version 1.19.10* I like this game so far you can upgrade monsters to see the stats they are and going to pvp but only the problem is the crashing part, I still don’t like when it keeps crashing like that but still I like this game. ### 5/5 — Great game, big mistake *2020-02-05, version 1.16.3* I’ve played this game for several years. Even put money into it at one point. I stopped playing for a while and recently came back. I just tried binding my account so I wouldn’t lose anything. Something the game prompted me to do. It erased all my data. I had all but four of the characters unlocked. Seriously disappointed but I guess it’s my fault for not binding the account sooner. Don’t make the mistake I did. Play the game, bind your account!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind feedback.

Have a great day! ### 5/5 — Very good game, home bar bothering though *2019-11-09, version 1.15.8* The game is excellent. I love it! I just wish the developers can address the home bar in iPhone X and beyond that are with a virtual home bar. It is quite distracting and even bothering at times. Wish the developers have a way to hide it during the gaming. ### 5/5 — This is wonderful. *2019-07-04, version 1.14.4* I just downloaded the game and I’m already learning, a lot! I’ve noticed the great detail you put on characters. I’ve got so many diamonds from playing! Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — No ptw *2019-07-01, version 1.14.4* There is no pay to win. I have spent 0 dollars on this game and have 800 gems from grinding challenges. linking facebook gets you many gems and a good monster. ### 5/5 — good game *2019-05-03, version 1.13.9* spent about 50$, it’s quite challenging as the main game play is pvp. Within each battle group you are facing people within the same card level range, which makes tactic actually matters. It also has a system to limit how many legendary card you can use in a game so money actually play a small role here. I do however feel the leveling up is a bit too slow that sometimes I feel quite frustrated, you can have no progress for weeks **Developer response:** Tactical Monsters has been designed as a MID-CORE for long-term games. The system of Free to Play allows to reach a range of players from all over the world and give them a chance to play the same way for free, It's our choise to create a NEW Kind of E-sport Tactical Games. For FREE TO PLAY gamers, they'll need more patience but we considerate them as the same in our state of mind. We just have to balance start and finish line, so that everyone gets to the same level without setting unachievable goals. ### 5/5 — Good Game (too short) *2018-08-29, version 1.10.5* Very good game. I’ve been playing about a week, without paying, diamonds or grinding (I work 9 hours, go to school full time, and sleep my 8 hours). Made it to the top of the global, ive gotten pretty high up on mining rumbles and most of the tutorials. Yes I’ve seen some people with higher monsters and I lose sometime. It’s a game. My guess is that some major updates happen or most of these people are just complaining. My only complaint, this game is too short and not enough of a story line. However a great pick up and go game. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your rating and your encouragement. We are working to make Tactical Monsters EVEN MORE Monstrous!

I live far from my office so I play it everyday! You don’t have to pay money to be win because the games developer gave out a lot of treasures everyday for the Rumbles so from there you can buy a lot of stuff. It’s a very good game! 😁😁😁🤜🏾😼 ### 5/5 — Fun Tactics Game *2018-04-23, version 1.9.0* This game is one of the better tactics games I’ve found. There’s definitely in game purchases, but they aren’t needed to have fun with it. You might want to spend some cash if you want to get competitive, but to just enjoy the game, it’s free and fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
