Monster Masters EX Reviews

This game started off cool, I picked a really cute starter. I did a battle. Then I realised that not only did I need exp, I also needed coins to level up. Then I went and disconnected me from my always working internet (I checked) every 5 seconds. Then I got some egg and it hatched into a level one. Then they make you fight a level 2, and in there they make you switch your level 3 that can easily beat it with the under level one that has a weak type match up. Then instead of letting you decide between switching and fighting, you are forced to deal like 0.1 health off your enemy. And then for me it disconnected 3 times in one battle, in all of them I had to battle again and restart. I don’t recommend this frustrating game to anyone and I would have rated 0 stars.

The game appears to have great creature designs and gameplay, but that’s it. The battle system is nice that it’s not turn based and is instead stamina, but there’s no way to upgrade stamina regen, so you have basic regen on high level creatures. Now, the internet connection is absolutely horrendous with the game randomly losing connection. No, it’s not me, or else it’d be happening elsewhere. And the opponent balance? The devs never heard of such a concept. Balance is wack. Plus, the bad connection generates lag during gameplay that totally ruins moves. I’ll get hit when in unhittable positions, and yet the opponent is invulnerable at point blank. And some moves are absolutely insane. No, devs, don’t tell me “there’s counters” when body slam is nigh unstoppable by anything but ONE move and intangible is completely spammable. How do I counter when only one creature gets the counter move and they are usually wiped out before I truly need them? You can’t counter when swapping and stamina regen take too long and you can’t even prepare prior to ensure you’re ready to counter. No balance yields bad chaos.

Fly, dig, freeze, vanish (whatever it’s called), and dash are all extremely annoying moves that 90% of the miss. This game is all about chance not skill at all. You can use body slam and the enemy uses fly which should result in the enemy taking damage (like dig), but instead it just gives the enemy freedom to do as they please. There are a ton of moves you can’t counter and instead have to just sit in the battle until the moves over with to even attack. It’s a horrible system as your opponent can use vortex and continue attacking you while you just watch.

The mosquito enemy is OP. He can fly to dodge, recover HP and use bloodlust and fly to completely make your monster useless.

There is a lot of things that need to be balanced in this game before I drop a dime on it.

This game is fun until you reach the point in which every single game your opponent has their entire team a lvl or 2 higher than your own. My team currently consists of all lvl 5s because I do not have enough to level them up any further. I have played at least 25 games with this team and have only run into opponents with monsters lvl 6 and higher. The game is fun, however it is extremely pay to win without a doubt. No room for free to play players to use any sort of skill as it is impossible to beat the pay to win players.

TLDR; This game is pay to win by definition. Sorry, but by that definition almost everything is pay to win for mobile. Which I believe.

Pay to win: A purchase made through real money that can offer ANY sort of advantage to a user that someone who does not pay with real money could earn freely.

This includes, but is not limited to: Gatcha, Exp Boost (Caused by creators intentionally lowering exp gains or the amount required and ‘selling the solution’ Probably the most common maliciously practice game designers use these days), Gold Boost, Items of various kinds, etc…

This game is really fun, but I wish there were other things to do other than just battling. Just battling means I only play this game for a bit each day, since there’s not much point once you’ve unlocked the Mega Box for the day. Anyway, a few suggestions: I really think Mirror should be able to reflect abilities like Stoned as that is a projectile in some way. Mirror is only there for a bit of time, so it would be reasonable, even though it might look a bit weird reflecting Stoned. Also, I think Quium should be able to unlock all it’s abilities quickly. Seeing as it has only like 6 powers, so maybe it shouldn’t have to wait until level 9-10 to unlock them all. Also, some of the golden-framed powers take a really long to activate. For instance, Turcone. In battles, the usual is that by the time I can use Earthquake and start the loading, the enemy has drained enough hp to knock out Turcone before it is finished. I ask that you reduce the time for abilities like those to be activated. Please consider these suggestions. Thank you!

I played this game many years ago, and Remember it being fun without remembering why I deleted it(could be space or new phone). Less then a week after I redownloaded it, a new update came out which seemed great until the game got stuck on the loading screen. Nothing including reinstalling and resigning into my account is working. Everytime I open it, it doesn’t move past the loading screen no longer how much time passes. I hope this issue gets solved quick because I was starting to understand the mechanics and enjoy the game again.

Ive started playing and i finally made it through some of the leagues but then i noticed almost everyone way stronger and has a lot more skill than me but i don’t see it as skill considering thins game hasn’t been out for long and since you can buy exp to make your monster stronger quicker i think that its pretty unfair because then people who just want to play and have fun on the game will eventually get matched up against people they cant beat which will probably lead to them just giving up on the game entirely im gonna keep trying to play and have fun since ive been waiting a long time for a good game like this one 😤

I’ve always wanted a game with this kind of battling dynamic. It’s not just regular turn-based move calling where the speed factor gives the upper hand, instead each monster has its own pace and every move is done at different intervals as well. I do have a question though, how do I transfer game data to a new phone? I recently changed phones and my game data for almost every other game transferred except for this one. I had collected a good amount of monsters and wouldn’t like to start over from scratch

The gameplay of this game is actually incredibly fun and engaging. It feels like if Pokemon masters stamina system mixed with the original gameplay of Pokemon. At first you assume it’s a simple rock paper scissors system for counter moves, but you realize there are many ways to respond to your opponent. Is your pendent running a mainly rush down team? Well you could play the massive critter which dares your opponent to come in and get crushed, or play the elusive archer critter which can attack WHILE dodging. Theres a lot of fun gameplay here. My biggest complaint is the fact it’s progression on leveling critters and progressing areas is purely just Clash of Clans, which just means you’ll hit a grind barrier when you’re critters aren’t high enough level for the next arena. Even getting new critters is a pain, and I’m not sure if it’s somewhat random on the critters you gain. I truly feel like if they made a single player adventure with this type of combat, it would be incredibly fun. The combat is kinda just pokemon combat on a real time action bar with moves that can be responded to. So if you want to try unique combat in the creature collector genre, then this is the game for you.. as long as your fine without the whole creature collecting part.

I am rewriting my review to say that, the developers have done great in advancing the game over the years and it has great potential for a lot more growth. It isn’t pay-to-win - anymore - but you can certainly pay for added fun like skins for the monsters.

I would suggest the developers add in different content or go the way of Pokémon and may different regions and various forms of their monsters that aren’t related to the purchased skins. Add in perhaps monster animations to make them more lively. If you want people to subscribe to their game, you have to keep giving them a reason to subscribe and that’s enhancing the features.

Was casually scrolling through MonsterMastersEX Store and came across this game. Decided why not give it a try? It is really fun although all there seems to do is just battle. Nothing else. No events, no monster dex to tell you more about your monsters or what their evolutions look like, no short story, or even a gameplay opening. What’s going on? For now, will continue playing hopefully something different approaches.

Edit: just checked, it seems like the last update to this game was two months ago. Doesn’t seem like they’ll be moving forward with this game. Quite a huge bummer if you ask me. This game had so much potential.

I love Monster Masters!
It’s very fun to collect, upgrade, test, etc. different pairs of monsters.

Having 5 monsters is very nice because we can see how we can line up each one to give us a good strategy for whatever we are up against from the opponent.

But having a 6th monster slot would be perfect!

Reasons:
We are able to create/use more strategy.
Can make the battle a little longer. (Ends very fast at times.)
Can have a chance of using different types of monsters with the opponent. (Are able to have a greater chance of victory and loss if we are offered availability of many types.)
In many monster/Pokémon type games, there’s always 6 slots of a monster team, making the battle skills/tactics/possibilities of new combat strategies unfolded.

Please consider.
I would really love to have 6 monster slots. It feels incomplete right now because I have “Mosuko”missing from my favorite team, and I would really like to use it.
I use it in another team, but if I could use it in my favorite team as another member, then that would be amazing to have!

Thank you and keep up the good work!

Also consider Mega Evolution! (Further evolve our monsters in mid-battle, etc., but they can evolve back into their previous form ; can counter the opponent and bring victory in a tight situation in battle.)
It is just a thought, but it would be nice to have this cool feature! :)

I was playing and it said there was an update! So I clicked update, while in MonsterMastersEX and it didn’t bring to MonsterMastersEX Store/monster masters app, so I had to go to MonsterMastersEX Store myself, I updated it, now the loading screen to get into the game gets stuck at 100% for me. And all I can do is stare at the loading screen. Please fix this, and yes Ik you just made the update and stuff but if you ever have time to fix bugs like these, please do!

The game it’s self is addictive with the way the battle scenes and having the ability to dodge moves only makes it better. I wish they had more characters. The only problem with the gameplay is the characters having more flexibility of their speed attributes when doing different attacks. Oh but the paid options for upgrades is outrageous but that’s with most mobile games we need more bang for our buck on these game purchases

Downloaded the most recent update and now the game freezes at 100% loading. Tried closing and reopening, shutting off my phone, and deleting MonsterMastersEX . It worked until I signed back into my account then it repeated the issue. Not sure what to do at this point but its extremely frustrating. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, if that helps

Edit: thank you, developers, for resolving the issue!

I think this game is awesome it’s an amazing game with updates left and right but I have some favorites one is witorb then gravulcanon and choob. choob is good at surviving and attacking it’s move body slam conquers the field andn witorb the move meditate is an amazing increase by the third time I use this move I’m crushing and finally gravulcanon is a great attacker fire ball can do a lot of damage. And to the creators of this game in the next update can you make witorbs basic move do more damage it would help me get more power right now my power is 567 THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH A AWSOME GAME!👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😁

It’s a good game but it’s takes a while to find a openet so think maybe should add a iPhone into access to normal people and also add an open world where you can find monsters and catch and stuff if that or add in like transformation for the starters and some other others that make them stronger and battle to make the game more interesting but you cannot use it once and then has a 10 hour cool down or something

Very fun real-time gameplay. Each monster comes with its own unique set of moves that allow for cool interactions, such as Poison causing Fury to go out of control, Dig dodging projectiles and Hurricane straight-up negating Fireball and still doing damage. You can also customize monsters by randomly changing their colors or buying skins.

Unfortunately, there’s no story past the tutorial, the game is lacking any sort of built-in ‘pedia, and it would be nice to see more trainer sprites and backgrounds. Monster experience and eggs are acquired mainly by waiting for boxes to open, which can be a little annoying. Also, I ran into an issue where I got disconnected multiple times per battle while playing while not connected to WiFi, even though my cellular connection was strong.

I don’t usually play these games but I’ve been bored lately and saw this game as an ad. I downloaded it to give it a try and I’ve been hooked since.

I haven’t put $1 into the game and I’ve been holding my own against a lot of great players who clearly do pay to win.

The free boxes are clutch (all you do is watch a 30 second ad) and I think the grind is fair/challenging. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to even more improvements and quality of life updates.
