Puzzle Wars: Heroes

This is probably one of the best F2P puzzle battle games I’ve ever played, i am not F2P but i enjoy doing the monthly season pass and thats about it, however why did the weekend tournaments stop, and why does it say max valor cap is 140 at max level, however characters get capped at 100 valor and can’t go over it even legendary characters, those are the only 2 reasons why this is just short of a true 5 star game for me, and im usually bored of games very quickly but this one has actually held my attention and daily play for over a year now and is still phenomenal to play every day trying to max things out

This game has a great idea with the fighting and matching, but your opponents at times or you will have a gross advantage. In this game you have a tug of war system each hero provides abilities. First thing awesome heroes with excellent abilities, but at times this can be deviating. If you try to strategize a good move against your opponent or for yourself your opponent can mess this up with the tug of war aspect. Biggest negative is that you and your opponents can use the power ups. Then at times one side will have an extreme advantage from the start as time goes your opponent or yourself will gain a gross amount of tiles for huge plays. An the other-side will have nothing or lack the ability to mount a counter in anyway. The best way to fix an issue like this is to expand the board and disable the ability of your opponent and yourself from acting on these as certain power up can be used twice like two green abilities can change the entire core of the strategy. An one of the yellow cards allow you to take the others power ups completely and this majority of the matches I played the this power up pushes them to the end where you have no ability to get your power ups back.

It’s super fun if you can get a good opponent. I just played 5 matches back to back where the opponent had more health, higher multipliers, and more luck than me. It’s weird to get mad at the luck, but when you have 5 back to back matches where your opponents board is full of one color at least twice a match, it doesn’t feel like rng. To have more health and higher multipliers you need to upgrade your heroes. But to upgrade your heroes you need to win. If I’m constantly being paired with stronger opponents how can I win? I can’t. Also show me a timer and stop letting my opponent run the timer into the ground over and over wasting my time. On top of that, the targetting system of the heroes doesn’t make any sense, there were multiple cases where my heroes could’ve taken out their a good chunk of the opponents heroes, but they just target random enemies and no one dies so the next turn my opponent just stacks heroes and I can’t compete. Horrid matchmaking with a numerous of quality of life changes that are desperately needed for a game over a year old. edit: 7 games in a row where the opponent had better rng. if you’re wondering how I know I have worse rng. It’s bc after winning 4 matches in a row, my side of the board didn't have a combo possible over 6 while my opponents had at least 2 combos of 9+ each match
