Rivals plants vs zombies

The concept of the game is really fun and unlike any games I played before but that unfortunately is the only five star quality in my opinion. The heroes have some decent abilities and mediocre designs. Heroes get one ability at level three and the remaining upgrades are just damage buffs. It would be cool if the heroes could have more unique abilities and gimmicks to spice up the gameplay, maybe give supermerges unique abilities. I understand that the AI designs are cost effective but I would love to see human made designs down the line so each heroes actually feels unique. Right now, 90% of the heroes have the same smile and the same pair of eyes, making them all look like clones. Their names could also use an upgrade as well. The monetization is also getting annoying. I understand that the game has to generate profit but the amount of advertisements I’m receiving is borderline too much and the difference between watching ads for additional rewards versus not watching optional ads is disproportional. For example, I could either spend 250 gems, which may take me a couple days to get, or watch an ad for the same epic pack, which I could watch another ad for to get more rewards from that epic pack. I also really dislike how scummy this game gets sometimes. The current luck roll event tricked me into thinking I’m getting a mythical pack if I used my singular golden dice, only for it to go a different route. Also, the info button for the mythical pack says 100% for a mythical hero. I’ve opened two mythical packs so far and did not receive any mythical heroes. Please fix this misleading and wrong information or make it so the mythical packs actually guarantees the 2-4 mythical hero cards since otherwise it can be viewed as a scam. In short, this is a fun game that a needs a solid amount of refining.

Great game! Fun concept and I can easily keep playing. Would easily be a 4-5 out of 5 but sadly it’s been a bit ruined by the ads and microtransactions at every corner. The main screen is screaming at you trying to get you to buy different bundles. Everything costs so much ($30 for a random bundle with some minor elements) and then there’s an ad after every round, but it’s one of those ads that lasts for a whole minute, so it’s faster just to close the app and open it again. Kinda sad to see, as the ads and microtransactions make me stop playing the game. Like why is the speed up function behind a $15 paywall? The game moves a bit too slow at times, that should just be a feature. A bit sad to see. I only write this cause I love the game and find it really entertaining! I’d be willing to pay $5-10 to unlock a few things but the pricing is crazy.

Update - received a response to my review below on 30/07. It’s now 14/08. Have emailed 3 times since then but no response and game is still stuck. Very annoyed that no one bothered to reply and now am missing out on Lucky Roll rewards. ———— Fun enough game but seem to have maxed out on two of the game modes already? Like on the veggie brawl, I’ve been on level 250 but can’t seem to move higher and other players can. And only 10 levels on seed showdown… bit disappointing after spending money on the game.
