Great potential, but not perfect yet

Firstly, this game is built very well. It’s a classic grind for resources game while also having an afk feature. On top of that, the game is very smooth and almost never glitchy(unless you have horrible wifi, but that’s a given). There are a few things this game needs to fix, but dont not download the game due to this, it’s a great game. 1. You should be able to get legendary or epic characters by collecting their own shards and combining them, it doesn’t make sense that you can’t. 2. Needs a lot more vital DC characters, and I know this takes time to add them to the game, but some have been added and players literally cannot unlock them. I’ve seen firestorm and killer frost in the game as level opponents, but not as playable characters. Like come on!!!! Also, you’ve added characters from things like creature commandos or the justice gang, but not every member of that squad. Where’s hawk girl for example?!?! 3. Make the DCU versions of characters skins instead of separate characters, we don’t need two Superman’s in the game lol 4.there needs to be an easier way to get blue shards as they are vital to ranking up characters. Maybe an afk collector at low rates unlocked after a certain level? That would seem fair. Anyways, this game is almost perfect, just put the frosting on the cake

Started Out Strong, Every Update Makes It Worse

Started out as a really fun game, they actually gave you a decent amount of resources and it was easy to get epic characters that made your roster stronger to actually be able to clear stages. Once you get to lvl 150 it is an insanely frustrating grind trying to keep up with the pay2win players. Every update seems to be aimed at eliminating players who won’t invest hundreds of dollars. There hasn’t been a new worthwhile event since the first month of its release. Every new character or featured character they announce is not obtainable without spending money. If you missed a character when they were featured there’s a very small chance you’ll be able to obtain them later. Plus this game has so many bugs and “operation handling error,” notifications, that if I were paying money would have me demanding a refund immediately. I bought a few passes and some resources in the beginning but I felt incredibly ripped off by what I was actually able to get with $50. I’d avoid this one unless you want to spend a fortune and invest a ton of time.

Great Game With Great Potential

I think the game is really good and it’s clear there is effort that has been put into this. My biggest compliment to the game is the art style, I love the way the artists have stylized these DC characters. The game is flashy, animations look good, and again, all the splash art looks good. However, I can’t help but feel it isn’t as engaging for the player as it could be. Once you click on a mission, the characters essentially play the game for you, leaving the player just to watch the heroes do all the cool stuff. I really wish there was a way to actually go character by character on their turn and select their action from a selection of their 1-3 abilities and ultimates. Similar to how Marvel Strike Force does it. As a result of this, the game overall feels less strategic and engaging since your heroes will randomly attack the enemies without much input from the player. I think making this change would really take this game to the next level. Taking it from an idle RPG, to a much more satisfying “team tapper” that provides players with actual feedback from their decisions in battle. P.S. I really love the massive selection of heroes at launch and enjoy seeing the artists rendition of them.

Would give it 4.5 if I could

Pros: great character selection, regular new releases, only big characters missing are firestorm (he’s in boss fights so that won’t last long) and aqua man Progression is consistent, I’ve gotten reasonably far into the game and have barely slowed down The character retrained is my favorite thing ever, I love it, it’s amazing, it saves you so much time and resources There enough ways to improve your characters to make it interesting but not so many that it’s overwhelming Cons: unlocking characters is a pain, you can get the lower rarities easily but then end up with so many robots and mercenaries (who you can’t even use to rank up characters). If you try, though you should be able to collect most of your favorite characters fairly quickly You can’t see who in your league participated in the challenge from the roster list or after it ends which makes maintaining an active league very difficult. My goat Timothy Jackson Wayne is the only Robin of the elite tier rather than epic and I will not stand for this disrespect There’s not a lot of good healers which can get frustrating (maybe add Saint Walker? Feels like low hanging fruit)

Not for free players

You want that new character featured in the current event? Oh you’re not going to spend any money? Forget it. You will NOT get that character unless you are extremely lucky. The only other way to get that character is to have 150 good summons which you will NOT have unless you saved up (impossible because they throw event characters at nonstop) or pay money. I have now tried to get the Batmobile, DCU Superman, Krypto and Peacemaker. I did every single daily every single day in their events. Never got any of them. The character leveling needs an overhaul. As it is now you need EXP, Gold and Titanium to level them. It is ridiculous to slow down game progression like this. You’ll likely be stuck for days on one mode or another because your characters aren’t powerful enough or they’re the wrong ones needed for that mode/stage. That doesn’t even include the items needed for gear upgrades, badge upgrades, etc.

Good, but Slow

You will make rapid progress through the early stages of the game. The longer you go, obviously, the more resources it costs to progress. You do make slight progress every day, giving you a feeling that something has happened. Some complain about the rate of legendary pulls, but what do you expect from a game like this? Be happy with what you get. You can consistently pull “Epic” characters which are one step down from legendary. There is a cap on how many pulls you can do before you are guaranteed a legendary unit. As long as you go in understanding that you won’t be upset. The gameplay is more passive as you watch the characters make moves based on how you set them up. More of an afk game than an active participation game.

Scam like

I love the DC universe and its characters but this game is very gamble-like. Pushed micro transactions and gamble-like features that try to get you to buy “recruitment” packs that do not even guarantee a legendary when you purchase one. You can purchase 60 dollars worth of “recruitment” rolls and not get a legendary. To me that’s basically gambling. Hopefully they update that and definitely change the age to play. I can see how it can be vulnerable to kids asking their parents for money for them not knowing which gets what. Obviously I’m sure they can get away with it and hidden in the fine print. That being said. The gameplay isn’t bad. The characters animation is good and the levels are interesting. There is some experience to be made but that’s the point of a game in the first place right, to be fun and engaging but I feel their “engagement” method is a big problem issue.

Too glitchy

Starting off by prefacing I did put money into the game already. That being said, I regret it immensely. The game is very glitchy, to a point it ruins the experience. Game has frozen many times during the “campaign”, and in a few vs battles. Made a league, but can’t do anything in it for a week because I was previously in another one. The character draws are the same 5 or 6 people, the lowest class you can get. Once I paid for a pack, I got a good draw. Then back to nothing good. If there’s a character you want, good luck ever getting it. All the good ones are locked behind future events, and as the game is, I probably won’t be around for those events. Not to mention it has Home Screen cosmetics you can purchase (instantly a red flag). Hoping the game gets better, but as of now, there’s better options.

The verdict is in! Players, comic book fans, and our readers love the new Warner Bros. mobile game DC Worlds Collide.
