Getting new tools or having areas added to your café may even draw in more customers.

    Pokémon Café Mix is an easy-going and relaxed puzzle game, with plenty of nostalgic elements of my childhood playing Pokémon games. It's all very cute, with Pokémon themed menu items that look wonderfully appetising, and the swirling puzzling is ideal for introducing this world to younger family members.

    Pokémon Café Mix may not be the most challenging Pokémon game to ever grace your console, but its cheerful and addicting nature is a nice addition to the fighting franchise that's sure to make you smile.

    A decent start. The microtransactions aren’t massively intrusive, the energy system isn’t too debilitating and the stages aren’t Candy Crush Saga-style efforts where it’ll take you 70 goes to get lucky enough to eventually clear them. These are all qualified by the word “yet”, though, and that’s the thing to bear in mind as this game evolves on a fortnightly basis. It’s yet to be established whether this is the sort of mobile game that lulls you in with a false sense of security and then, later down the line, hits you with ridiculously difficult stages that will almost certainly need power-ups to clear (we see you, Dr. Mario World). For now, though, we’re happy.

    Pokémon Café Mix is adorable and exploits the Pokémon brand in some innovative directions, but gets repetitive fast and some puzzles aren't very well designed.

    With fun puzzle gameplay, Pokémon to catch and a decent serving of charm and polish, Pokémon Café Mix offers enough to satisfy the hunger of many a Pokémon fan, but it’s slow mechanics and lack of depth may cause others to shop elsewhere.

    Pokémon Cafe Mix has a great aesthetic to it. Still, the imprecise nature of its physics leads to equal parts fun and frustration.

    It's just another microtransaction-dependent puzzle game. [Issue #48 – September/October 2020, p. 20]

    It's a great puzzle game with fun mechanics and a fidget interface. So immersive and so intuitive. I just love it. Pretty good Pokémon puzzle game.

    For example: when you start a order (level), you have to choose a leader Pokémon linked to a skill. Once you use a life, the level layout becomes visible. Some levels require a certain skill, like a directional blast, otherwise they are almost impossible to clear. So if you chose the wrong Pokémon, you have to restart, losing a life in the progress. Lives take 30 minutes to replenish.

    Another thing is the luck based aspect of some levels. One type of level requirement are the horns, a little power-up that has to been used a certain amount of time. However, they drop at random. Your move limit is between 10/15 moves at the most levels, so sometimes it occurs that not enough horns are dropped before your moves are up. Unfortunately this happens a little too often...

    What I do like about this game is the rate of new mecaniques being introduced. Around every ten levels, a new obstacle in the form of food is being added to the mechanics pool. This makes every level feel unique.

    Also the art style is really amazing. The hand painted Pokémon all have really smooth animations and look very cute!

    Overall it is a solid puzzle game, I just wished the things mentioned above will be addressed in a future update.    … Expand

It feels like this game is targeted to kids, and if that's the case then I don't see why this is a bad game. I personally believe that the puzzles might be a little to hard for a kid in the late game? But at least the visuals are cute. The only complaint I have is that I have to take the switch out of the dock in order to play it.… Expand

Oh, actually I canI can't understand how some of the levels can be so easy and then, all of sudden, there is an impossible level. Oh, actually I can understand...

    Luckily the whole game is not like this. Most of the puzzles makes this game an okay, chilling way of spending few minutes. Art is cute and physics + mechanics makes this game a slightly above average in this genre.    … Expand
