    As exciting as it was to see this game announced, it sadly didn't provide the competitive nature that most players hoped for. A majority of actions taken during the matches are futile considering one feature that takes place in the last two minutes decides most of the points earned in a match. Casually, the game is a fun time and is a good free to play experience with friends.

    A free-to-start Pokémon MOBA that aims to enroll casual and semi-casual gamers into the genre.

    PROS: - IT'S FUN: I've never been into Pokémon, but the game still managed to hook me. It doesn't feel like a depressing grind, and that's more than I can say for almost every other free-to-start I tried. - NOT THE USUAL CASH GRAB…: Free-to-play games have a deserved reputation for    A free-to-start Pokémon MOBA that aims to enroll casual and semi-casual gamers into the genre.

    PROS:

    - IT'S FUN: I've never been into Pokémon, but the game still managed to hook me. It doesn't feel like a depressing grind, and that's more than I can say for almost every other free-to-start I tried.

    - NOT THE USUAL CASH GRAB…: Free-to-play games have a deserved reputation for shallow gameplay and greedy microtransaction. Pokémon UNITE can reasonably be played for as long as you wish without paying a dime. Money helps, but it's not a requirement unless you want to try different builds and characters.

    CONS:

    - …BUT IT'S STILL OGLING YOUR MONEY: Yes, the game isn't "pay to win". Still some cosmetic items have immoral, unreasonable prices that no game should ever attempt, and there are gacha mechanics that should be illegal in a game targeted at kids.

    - THE GAMEPLAY FEELS SLIGHTLY SHALLOW: There is a lot to do and to learn in this game–but even with all the different characters and builds, a sense of repetition sneaks in almost immediately. It's not bad enough that you want to stop playing, but it does make you wonder whether you should be doing something else with your time.    … Expand

    Is a good MOBA, is addictive and is easy to play. I think the idea is good, just 10 minutes to play and four moves to use, like another Pokemon game. I want to play more of this game, but is good and I hope this game still alive in some years.

    I consider it the best MOBA video game on the phone. And do you know why? Because it's simple, as all phone games that make them difficult should be. I don't spend hours and hours on it, I play it occasionally when I'm bored on the toilet, but besides being challenging, it can also be played with friends one night just for fun. Of course it's scripted like all other MOBA games, but it hasI consider it the best MOBA video game on the phone. And do you know why?

    Pokémon UNITE is a solid spin on the MOBA genre, but it feels like it should be more special.

    Pokemon Unite flashes moments of brilliance, and the battles always feel like they’re balanced on something of a knife edge. Is it perfect? No, some of the IAPs do feel a bit pay-to-win, and the roster of characters isn’t as expansive as MOBA fans might want. But when it works, boy does it work.
