Puzzle Fighter for Android
The game is fun. There is still a lot of room for improvements. For one, there should be a time limit on how long I should wait for my opponent to start. Sometimes I'll wait 5-10 minutes and nothing happens. Give people an option up exit the game if the opponent doesn't start within x times. Another thing that seems to be missing is when I clear gems, it doesn't go to your opponent. That was the key to the original because that could be a game changer regardless how good the player is. I am going to play this game for another week and will update my review
The game resembles the old iteration, but lacks any kind of causal play mode. The challenges are fun, but over very quickly, requiring you to use gems or wait for a refresh. The online play is fun, when it works, but loses connection far too often even with a strong wi-fi connection. If they add a casual play that didn't advance your characters, but allows you to play and practice for fun, I'll keep it. If it continues to lose connection and beg for me to spend money constantly, I'll drop it. Come on Capcom, rise above the rest and give us a more complete game.
I think it a really good game. Just not sure if the gem block mean anything at this moment. I've played both the original and xbox 360 ports and loved it. I don't like the timer gems off so early on pvp and should always be on in offline modes! I suggest to play the older version to have a better understanding of the game.
If you got excited because you remember this game on ps1 and arcade prepared to be disappointed. You don't play until your opponents screen fills up. You play until their life bar runs out. Leaving a 1 star until classic mode is implemented. Also dropped me down in rank after winning. Also game fails to load sometimes.
Runs horribly, lots of loading, not the same gameplay as classic Puzzle Fighter. Changes form 3* to 1*. You need 1600 MP to get a check in a week time. You get maybe 150 MP a day against the computer because you can only play 3 CPU matches a day. So the rest of the matches have to be against humans. Let the matchmaking search for an opponent for minutes w/o success. So there is really no way to play this game.
Super in balanced and very clear pay to win. You will go against people with a higher damage than you and easily get wiped out even when you've been dropping more combos. This game isn't skill based is pay to win you buy you damage or you get played against people who have higher damage than you. Needs a classic more based on puzzle breaking only no upgradable skills
The main stay of this game the pvp suffers from season lockout. I.e. towards the end of the reward season some people will stop playing so they dont loae rewards. As in other ladder games your rewards should be off highest tier attained instead of current tier to encourage more playing
original puzzle fighter was amazing. this however, is a train wrack. they should've stick with original graphics. these new models look disgusting. controls are awkward and stupidest thing is waiting 12 hours for next 3 fights. game forces you to play pvp exclusively and it's done terribly. edit: after more time given, I changed my rating to 1 star. this is an insult, not a game. shame on you capcom for treating us like idiots!
I would rate this app much higher if when I finally made it to Bronze rank, my score did not get reset to negative points. So I went over 500 and was instead at negative 48 and not 548. To make matters worse, I somehow went down to negative 72 after losing against Ultra Bronze because all of my matchups went up against Ultra Bronze players. I finally somehow managed to beat enough people to get back into the positive numbers. All I want to do is unlock MegaMan X which does not seem possible below Bronze and the stupid game ripped me off so badly. I really do not get it.
Game was ok. It would have been better if the amount of loading for each screens are reduced. The connectivity between players were horrendous, I'd spent 90% of my time finding myself have unable to play online match due to lost connection with opponent :( Update: just rated this one star. Had enough with the connection lost issue!
Fun game, great concept, poor execution. The game has very bad connectivity issues. It take five minutes or more to match up and when you do find an opponent odds are the connection will break. I understand that this is free to play and the servers are expensive but I can't justify purchasing in game if these basic problems aren't fixed.
Nostalgic. Single player missions can do with a little shorter cool down. 8 hours seems a little excessive. If the focus is on multiplayer then please beef up the network infrastructure, I have disconnects and waiting for player to respond. Not sure whether I'm getting ddos or something else.
This is just awful. One of the top recommendations says, "This is a good port." This is not a port. You don't send blocks to your opponent. Instead of making them top out, they have a life bar. Just destroy your blocks and win, no timing required. The characters look like they are from Jimmy Neutron. I do not recommend this to veterans of the original, you will not get the same experience you are used to. Also, p2w.
Enjoyed the game, limited single player appeal, but a good game over all. Then they released a new patch and for 2 days I've not been able to connect. It just hangs on the loading screen before a match. Quit and reload and randomly gain or lose ranking places, and the bonus chests (in Hondas shop) go down by 1 each time. Uninstalled for now. Will try again soon and hope it's fixed
Hopefully the rating for this game will go up. The F2P aspects are there but what mobile game doesn't have them. Plus it really doesn't take away from the excitement and challenge of the original, as there are plenty of casual players. The touchscreen controls take some getting use to but are fine once you get calibrated. Yes you can spend money and boost your HP. I look at it this way, the original was $40. Go ahead and spend that on this game if you want to be competitive.
Another game that has potential, but suffers from poor matchmaking. When your level 3 characters have to fight against level 6 and 7 opponents, something is wrong. A simple algorithm could fix this, but the developers don't seem to care.
One of the most egregious offenses of pay-to-win game mechanics I've ever seen. The core mechanics are solid enough but it feels impossible to win without spending money on chests to be able to upgrade my fighters. Every single opponent's attacks consistently do more damage than mine despite how big my power blocks are. This is such a shame considering the legacy of classic Puzzle Fighter.
Buggy af atm. Had 480 ranking points n just as I won my next match n should have ranked up I dropped to -66 ranking points instead. Game also freezes randomly in the middle of matches, during a loading screen, or pretty much whenever
My game keeps crashing. Oh and it would be nice if the menu/interface was more accessible and easy to nagivate. I also still think that it goes without saying that there needs to be a classic mode type of gameplay option.
Just like the fighting game, losing to those with the worst internet connections. Let us filter and read the strength of their connections. Also please release this on pc, I hate playing on mobile. Worst way to play a good game
Cool down on missions should be lowered. Game seems to be exclusively PvP which to me would be fine if you can get coins to upgrade your characters all the time. For some reason I only get coins win or lose during certain times of the day. Network needs to be fixed. Other than that it seems to be a game I would continue playing.
The game play itself is pretty good. However I wish they would add more to single player like a story or campaign mode. Giving you only 3 missions and then you have to wait like over half a day before it refreshes is not acceptable. I personally don't like games that's heavily based on pvp because then honest f2p players needs to deal with p2w whales and hackers. Please explain to me why am I being matched up with people that's 2 ranks higher than me. They have over double my ranking points.
I'm only giving this a try and bearing the pain because it's my favorite game (the original). It's another buy gems, buy gold kind of thing which is a turn off for me. I dislike the limit mission and wait time. Which you cannot enjoy the game if you don't want to pvp. Again with the buy gems to unlock more missions if you cannot wait 8hrs to try and enjoy the game. I understand purchase for those extra boost attacks and such for pvp but come on now, you have to take away pve? Also the pvp connections sucks. Half the time I get disconnected.
Another pay to win cash grab on an old beloved franchise. Character models look strange, controls are wonky and matchmaking is a joke. Why am I getting matched against people 2 or 3 ranks above me who take 0 damage from my attacks? No single player except 3 missions that you have to wait to refresh. Such a shame this could've been amazing.
This game is great except i keep getting kicked it off battle screen before it even starts with a prompt saying it got disconnected. There are still bugs on this game. Out of the last five fights i actually fought one because of this bug
While I prefer the old one, (top out to loose) this ain't bad. Makes a good time killer. The game is very entertaining, but if you a fan of puzzle fighter 2 turbo on PSX, Xbox and such, you might have some to be desired.
Finished the tutorial. Thought the game was neat but I'm stuck at the loading screen for my free chest. What a waste of time. Tried restarting the app a few times and nothing changed.
The gameplay is fun but I keep getting matched up against players that are much higher rank than me. It's not really fair to go up against someone that has higher level characters and special moves. Fix the matchmaking please!
Its puzzle fighter what is there to say, i definitely suck way more now than i did as a kid, this game on the PSOne was so much fun back then. Not that it isn't fun now it's definitely harder now with the P2W style of gaming its a massive grind just to be able to unlock the option of getting other characters such as Nash from chest. Which is annoying. The only downside is the size of the roster atm hopefully this game continues with updates introducing new and old characters alike. If you loved the the classic one not gonna say your gonna love this but you might really like it.
This game has a good potential but falls in so many ways. It's an easy game to learn and skilled players will do well if it wasn't for the lag that handicaps any progress. I won matches and points were taken from me? I don't understand how some opponents get tiles while my side freezes and I already have an idea for tiles but they don't seem to move when they appear. Very frustrating. Contemplating on uninstalling soon if it's not improved
Great game, but earning currency is slow. You get bonus currency at the end of the "season", but that's every thirty days or so. Feels like you HAVE to put money into the game in order to get new characters and level them up at a decent rate. It also feels like the assist character mechanic isn't very well explained in-game.
Ruined a good Vs puzzle game based on skill and made it into a pay to win game. Instead of making opponent overflow their side with gems, there's a life meter and of course people spend money to power up their character for more life or do more damage. Waste of time, play the original.
While the basic concept of puzzle fighter has remained in this new edition it also comes with bare bones gameplay, horrid power gaps between character levels and poor matchmaking. This could be a fun game with tweaks and less restraints on single player options.
Despite having to wait several months longer than other parts of the world this 'game' is still riddled with bugs and exploits. Not to mention the inability to compete with high-end arena players unless you're impossibly lucky or you 'wack out your wallet'. Its always a shame when a game you look forward to months, a game made by a developer with good experience and packed full of beloved charaters turns out like this...
Good game, and an interesting free to play version of a great puzzle title. However it is crashing A LOT. And I can tell it's not just me, for example I get a lot of players connecting to a game and then suddenly dropping, so sometimes they are also crashing... The matchmaking timeouts seem to be missing as well: I am stuck on "waiting for player" and nothing happens - more than once I had to quit because the other user did not join, and then I dont know if I lost the match or not.
Fun game, did not have any issue with loading or waiting for pvp to start. However, I noticed occasional lag with next queued block spawning. Instead of swiping left to right I would prefer directional buttons. Swiping down to drop the gems is fine. Maybe add two buttons for clockwise and counter. Have the button location customizable for different users. Update: after advancing to bronze I finally see the timer gems. Great! I blew up three large block gems in chains but barely saw any timer gems drop on the opponent. On super puzzle fighter 2 it would have at least covered half the opponents screen in timer gems. Perhaps I need to lvl up my character. Lower mission wait time to 1 mission every 2-3 hour or something
It's about time you guys made puzzle fighter on the cell phone. The graphics are a bit laggy. Also not a big fan of the 3D, I prefer the 2D look. It is a pretty good game though.
Doesn't work like classic puzzle fighter! Not as fun! Lifebars are lame and open the door for pay-to-win "card packs" that upgrade your attacks to do more damage. Bring back the old screen-filling defeat mechanics!
It's too repetitive. Online match is great, but only three missions? There's nothing else beyond that like a story mode. Pretty much fighting a different person over and over. That's okay but let me fight them up the ladder or an event or something. The game just came out and it gets boring fast

After latest update: Keeps getting disconnected from Online Matches. Great game but why does the game not have a "pause" function? Even in missions I cannot pause lol hopefully devs will add a pause button soon. Also, mission cool down is way too long. Either lower that or have more missions available at once. 3 is waaay too few.
