### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-08-19, version 1.8.48*

Great game. Would be nice to be able to find out which cards are available from certain characters

### 3/5 — This needs an update.

*2026-02-14, version 1.8.48*

It’s just ancient and buggy. The core game is good. But this needs a serious refresher.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work well

*2026-02-10, version 1.8.48*

I love this game in ff8 and really wanted this to be good, but, I click random to start a game and it gives me 1 card in my hand. I restarted, I was mid game and it brought up an error message and crashed, when I reloaded the app I got a message saying something along the lines of, ‘you have been punished for leaving mid game’. A great idea unfortunately poorly done.

### 3/5 — It’s ok.

*2025-10-10, version 1.8.48*

At first, I thought this game was amazing.  Then I noticed a handful of things that turned me off and ended up deleting the game.

Still a great game that’s why I’m giving it three stars five if they can fix the mechanics by adjusting things. 

It was almost like the computer knew what I was going to play. There were so many times that it play the perfect card in the most crazy chance that they had that card specifically. You work really hard to get good cards and the computer ends up having the perfect answer to take one of them away.

If you end up purchasing the game credit, you can definitely get the right cards to play and win.  Which that would make it way too easy.

I feel like they should make it so you can sell the extra cards. You have to get credit to buy new cards. 

To me that would’ve fixed the game enough for me to give it four stars possibly five. That way you’re not losing out on all your effort in one game. 

Too much grinding

### 4/5 — Nicht mehr spielbar

*2025-09-20*

Gefällt mir sehr ….. jetzt noch Tetra Master bitte 😁 seit kurzem leider  nicht mehr spielbar .. da ein Fehler Code die App sofort beendet.

### 3/5 — Mannn

*2025-06-15, version 1.8.48*

It was too easy. Cleared it like a vet in an hour. Went to online mode and it was a ghost town, decided to wait it out and found a few matches. 5 Cloud’s ready to rock. But no one wants the smoke, they quit after the first two moves. Great single player mode, hope you expand to include all the rules and mechanics. Would recommend.

### 3/5 — 追加

*2024-10-23*

カードの追加お願いします

### 3/5 — good

*2024-07-16, version 1.8.48*

Very nostalgic but the differences on how same and plus works break some strategies. playing against ia with gain also have some bugs when picking a card after winning as it dont let you select card of the adversary color...

### 3/5 — Needs some changes

*2024-07-15, version 1.8.48*

To start with i grinded Gil to buy Cloud, and accidentally hit Tifa with the wrong finger, there needs to be a confirm button when buying cards, or at least the expensive ones, like maybe start it at the 500 amount.  Second if you lose a card because of the stupid implementation of same and plus, which the cpu always knows and takes advantage of, you should be able to win the card back, or able to remove the rules as you see fit, maybe take Gil down for wins with less rules?  It’s infuriating when the cpu hits you with a same or plus and you end up losing and they take a card you spent 2500 Gil on and no way to win it back.

### 1/5 — Not worth it. I’ll just find something better elsewhere

*2024-06-04, version 1.8.48*

I had high hopes for this app because I grew up playing final fantasy and remember this game from my childhood. But if you’re looking for anything like the experience from the game save yourself the heartache and disappointment. It doesn’t seem realistic to play and actually get any cards from it. Unless you’re willing to just constantly spend real money for it. Oh, but even then you spend money for a card and then they’ll take the card and you have no way or idea how to get it back unless you spend money. I was in the middle of a game when my phone was acting buggy so I closed it and then get punished for it by my cards being taken. So. Cool. I would’ve given it no stars but I don't think I can leave zero stars and a review.

### 2/5 — Beware When Creating Account

*2024-04-27, version 1.8.48*

My email and password I used for this game was found on the dark web. The way the user interface appeared when I initially created an account was suspicious and very lacking in providing confidence and security. Come to find out that the email button in game sends an email directly to the creator and owner of this app. 

A few days after I created my account, I got a notification through my security services saying my email and password was found on the dark web. Luckily the password I used was unique to this particular app. Anyone looking to create an account, please be mindful of this vulnerability.

The game itself is fun, HD designs look weird so I just stick with the classic imagery. Sometimes the CPU opp plays the same card twice when they technically are supposed to have 5 unique cards but it wasn’t a game breaking issue, just a strategy breaking issue for the user. 

2 Stars for security issues mainly. Not happy with my info being found on the dark web especially when it was reported that the password found was tied to this game and only this game.

### 1/5 — Frustato

*2026-07-06, version 1.8.48*

Contento di poter giocare quwsto gioco, ma vedo che é fatto male, in battaglia se perdi dai una carta se vinci, non succede nulla, ne ti danno una carta e ne sblocchi il secondo sfidante

### 1/5 — Bootleg af and a scam

*2025-12-30, version 1.8.48*

In contrast to FF8, if you buy gil for a card and you lose. You don’t ever get it back. Plus anything beyond sephiroth 1 is pay to win. I’m glad i stopped buying into it. This games worse than butt. It’s diarrhea 😄.

### 1/5 — Such A Shame - Buggy Garbage

*2025-12-10, version 1.8.48*

I love triple triad and when I saw this I was excited… until I played it. It’s sadly nothing but buggy trash. One review brought up some of the bugs and - seven years ago - the developer claimed to have fixed them. Spoiler: they aren’t fixed. Game freezes so you force quit? You get punished and lose your card. You win and go to select a card? Yeah… no. No selection allowed and you have to crash the game. It’s completely unplayable as I cannot progress. Now lets talk about the cash shop. Oh yes… $9 USD for 5,000 GIL. The most expensive card - Ultimecia - is 10,000 GIL. So $18 if you want that card. Whats worse is this is a game where you can PERMENENTLY LOSE your cards; purchased or otherwise. So game glitches out and you need to crash? Kiss your cards goodbye. Or, go to a higher difficulty and it doesnt even tell you what rules are in effect. Easy way to lose them that way too. The audacity that there is a cash shop in a version of the game where you can lose your cards is psychotic. Even FF14 Online struk out the rule about taking/losing a card and moved only to in-game shop. Then at least it would be more logical. Still, not for $18 for a good card.

### 1/5 — クレジット

*2025-12-07*

許可取ってあるんですか？？
本家とルールが確かに違うんですよねセイムもプラスにしろ…連鎖もない。
好きなカードゲームなのに残念。
初っ端のウォードからティファ出てくるから強過ぎてひっくり返せないし、買ててもひっくり返せないとカード貰えないってルールじゃなかった気がするんだけど…

### 1/5 — Dreck!

*2025-09-30*

Einfach nur Dreck! Schlecht umgesetzt!

**Developer response:** Guten Tag. Es war eine Schande. Bitte schreiben Sie genauer, was Ihnen nicht gefallen hat.

### 1/5 — Broken math

*2025-08-23, version 1.8.48*

Game doesn’t register correct math and never in your favor

### 1/5 — Fails constantly

*2025-07-12, version 1.8.48*

The game freezes constantly and I must close it, when I enter again I am penalized by losing a card, it doesn’t make sense it needs to be fixed

### 1/5 — Punished for a stupid bug!

*2025-07-01, version 1.8.48*

While the game works wonders for me over the years, I recently got into the game freezing for no apparent reason! I lost my Cloud card due to this random game freezes! All those hard work collecting GIL ;(

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-01-07, version 1.8.48*

Buggy to the max. Game freezes before I can play a card, punishes for rebooting. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — 参照見ても書いてない

*2024-08-02*

エレメンタル付くと、プラスとセイムできなくなるんですけど。

他の回答で、原作とルールが違うと回答していますが、エレメンタルで変化した数字でプラスとセイムを狙ったとしても、反応しなかったです。

そこはどうなってるんでしょうか？

できればプラスとセイムはエレメンタルの数字変化は関係ない、という原作のルールでやってほしいです。

### 5/5 — Super Fun and A Good Challenge

*2026-08-14, version 1.8.48*

It’s super fun! I got all your bonus cards too. I like how it’s well balanced and challenging- you really need to have skills to beat it all because we both have similar cards while mine are usually slightly weaker but winnable. I love this design, it’s challenging but also achievable.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-25, version 1.8.48*

Super stoked to have a Triple Triad version in pocket!

### 5/5 — Liebe geht raus

*2026-04-10*

Super App als Fan von FF8. Läuft auch alles top

### 5/5 — 良い

*2026-01-15*

全てクリアしてカードも全て集めました。
カードの追加＋新要素等追加待ってます！！

### 5/5 — Great game. So happy someone added this on app store

*2025-10-07, version 1.8.48*

I wish there was more to do in this game. Otherwise I love it. I found it too easy. I have like over 50 sephiroth after playing like just 3 days. Please add harder levels. Maybe make a setting where we can choose a harder difficulty. I also think that more challenges would be fun to have. Thanks for your work!

### 5/5 — Legend

*2025-06-11, version 1.8.48*

You r

### 5/5 — Classic Game, Helpful Team

*2025-05-13, version 1.8.48*

Always loved Triple Traid. The game works just like in-game, super fun. It’s been out for a long time and it’s still worth playing. I didn’t like the HD interface but it is changeable and the support response was quick. Give it a try.

### 5/5 — So glad it exists on mobile

*2024-12-05, version 1.8.48*

Awesome and well-implemented version of the most fun minigame in FF history.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2024-09-03, version 1.8.48*

Can’t believe I’m only just discovering this game. It’s an incredible version of FF8s Triple Triad. Just wanted to say thank you to the developer for making this. It’s amazing.

### 5/5 — Tripple Triad

*2024-03-24*

Ich liebe FF8 und somit auch TT
