    As far as ftp's go this game requires less purchase for success than most. I have currently spent 5 bucks on the game and I am satisfied playing it.

    As far as marvel story lines go. This story leans more on the corny side and less on the depth that can be seen in some marvel comics.
    This game can be a money trap but does not have to be. The story could be better. The game play is pronominal. Could use live pvp.    … Expand

    This is my favorite online game and it has been for several years now. I play a lot of online games, and this is probably the most well run one based on the structure of the game, and the frequent updates and new characters which continue to cause the gameplay to evolve.

    Its a great portable game because it is turn based. I go through my life with my phone out while I walk, or between shifts of my jobs and make moves throughout the day. The powers of the over 125 different Marvel characters affect the game such that they feel right for the corresponding hero. Wolverine has an auto heal feature, Black-Suit Spiderman can hide in the shadows, and Thanos does extra damage when an opposing hero is killed in homage to his love for Death, so the designers really did their homework and made the characters "feel" like the actual characters.

    Choosing your team is important, and its important to have as many of them as possible, because they interact which each other in beneficial ways. During different events in the game, which typically last 3 days each, different heroes will be powered up, so you will have to learn how to use all of them in order to maximize your success.

    It takes the match-3 genre to the highest level of strategy, and they have manage to create a game which continuously evolves, yet rewards the players past work. Definitely Time Well Spent! - S.    … Expand

    It's been more than 5 years i'm playing this game and I continue to enjoy a lot.
    Because devs have put a lot of new mechanics, successfully reworked characters, varied missions between pvp and pve.
    Ok it needs a lot of grinding and sometimes you have to go in the cash shop. But to me, it totally worths it. Cause you can play wherever you want, I can't take the bus without playing it.

    Although free to play is the biggest trend in mobile games at the moment, it doesn't fit too well with Puzzle Quest. I'd pay ten bucks for this in a heartbeat for experiencing the campaign, but now I'm left with monotonous grinding and replaying same missions over and over in order to level my heroes to the point, that I can progress to the next fight. Pvp-games are crippled, because the matches are won by those, who are willing to spend money on their hero roster. [Apr 2014]

    The use of Marvel characters is great, and the core idea of connecting special abilities to matching crystals is just as good now as it was back in the original Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. I was a huge fan of that title, and Marvel Puzzle Quest proves itself to be a worthy new-school successor.
