    And aside from its extremely derivative nature, this is an excellent collectible card battle game, particularly for gamers who have a taste for superheroes in general and the Marvel Universe in particular.

    There's a great deal to do in Marvel War of Heroes, and while it doesn't quite cause a revolution in the genre, Mobage can only be accused of giving gamers exactly what they want with a few new twists.

    If you know your Stan Lee from your Stanley Carter, there's a lot to like in the collection of these beautiful cards, and the math grinding will appeal to the Excel-obsessed. But those looking for an accessible battler will be best served elsewhere.

    The developers who brought you Rage of Bahamut give that game a Marvel spin, providing the same addicting gameplay and the same rough execution that doesn't seem as fun the second time around.

    This is one of the few games I have bothered to play on my phone and I have to say I am beyond disappointed with this title.

    What initially    This is one of the few games I have bothered to play on my phone and I have to say I am beyond disappointed with this title.

    What initially drew me to the game was the fact that it was both Marvel and Card Games (thank you years of addictive collecting)

    What has been my to this day problems with this game...

    -It feels nothing short of a money grab.-

    Yes there is a built in reward system along with a way to progress and climb levels to attain new cards even participate in events to gain packs to potentially give rare cards, but for a game that has a community built on;

    spam creating accounts early in on bluestacks and youwave etc for starter ult packs and causing trade restrictions (now mostly shut down)

    pouring hundreds of dollars into special reward packs for cards and power packs for faster battle times and more points in events only to have some newer cards replace older ones and losing top spots to someone spending more money on power packs than you.

    community that has evolved outwards into a real money trading racket for cards and power packs that are not sanctioned nor supervised by the company, but rather supplemented by the use of third party forums and players to handoff exchanges for money

    preying on new recruits for card trades that are beyond unbalanced and invite codes for perks that have been drastically reduced due to account spamming

    even rumors of potential botting and the early use of glitches to multiply reward gain by the use of certain android based devices. (mostly gone now)

    All of these things have made the game polluted and shallow to any new would be players and a parasitic leech on those veterans who cannot pry themselves away from their invested time and money.

    I can say that haven given my 8 months of playing my enjoyment for the game has whittled down from an eager collector to a hallow shell made of disappointment and regret.

    If you are willing to give this game a shot it is free but please just hold onto your wallet before you go off buying cards from a company that might not be able to promise a good gaming experience in the next 12 months, and please do not be fooled into thinking the game has a large player base as regrettably there are many players (including myself) who have multiple accounts, old accounts made have not been removed, and a small handful of a select 1000 rule the roost and control the top spots with their spending habits and large time investment.    … Full Review »
