    I am a big fan of both Puzzle Quest and Marvel, so it seem like it would be a perfect mix for me, but as much as I want to like this game, II am a big fan of both Puzzle Quest and Marvel, so it seem like it would be a perfect mix for me, but as much as I want to like this game, I just can't.
    I won't talk about the Marvel half, because well... There is nothing to talk about. Just like usuall, they just gathered a bunch of characters, and slapped on them 3 or 4 special attacks that one way or another are related to them, and in this case... This game doesn't really have any special animations or anything, so it's not like you even can watch them do those attacks, they are just names, that you may or may not recognize if you actually know anything about given character (although I like that little touch they did with comicbook covers.)
    But the Puzzle Quest/Gameplay part of the game... This is just a disgrace to this franchise.
    They practically turned this into "facebook game"... I imagine, that if you're playing this game, you're doing this for the Marvel part, so you'll want to collect various characters, try different combinations, and train them up to 'see' all their attacks... Well, too bad. In normal Puzzle Quest game, all this training and other little things would be presented as some sort of puzzle minigame, but here... nope. It's all about money. So you'll need to either grind for a long time to earn little bit of currency, or just pay up in real money.
    It takes to long to do anything? Pay up. It is to hard? Pay up. You want a specific character? Pay up. You dont want to spend hours just to see a familiar name when character is doing its special attack? Pay Up.
    I suppose some may say that it's only fair to have all those paywalls, when the game itself is free to play, But they're doing it wrong.
    Game like this is supposed to be fun, It should make you want to play it a lot and try hard to collect everything, (and paying should be optional, possibly fun part of the game... not just an easy way out,) but what it does instead is grinding people, and make them miserable until they give up and pay... or give up entirely (and even if you do have a lot of cash and nothing else to burn it on, if you do pay e.g. to get over-leveled character at the early stage of the game... it just becomes boring and easy.)
