Rick and Morty: Pocket Mortys Reviews

by Pennywiseplourde

First of all, the game gets boring very quickly, about half an hour in, I was bored. It’s very repetitive. Its the same thing every time. Walk through the portal. Catch some Mortys. Battle some random people. fight the Rick of that dimension. Pass through the portal again, heals your Mortys
And again and again and again. I love the show but this just isn’t fun in my book. It’s Rick and morty Pokémon but less cooler than it sounds. Actually battling someone isn’t that good either, there are no cool animations or anything. Just click a button and something happens. No cool effects. I also have a huge issue with egg morty + the one true morty. Your Mortys earn xp by dazing an opponents morty. To get the one true morty, you have to get egg morty to level 20. But here’s the deal, egg morty has no way of dazing a morty. He’s powerless. Next problem, getting Mortys. There are two ways to get Mortys. Way one: find/buy a morty manipulator chip, find a wild morty, battle it untold its low health, use chip as item and hope it doesn’t FAIL. That’s right, it can fail. Way two: use a blips and chits kiosk to buy (a) random morty(s) with tickets that are nearly impossible to get, unless you overpay with real money. All together its just a mess. I gotta give them an A in effort but other than that its just not a very good game and a bit of a let down.

I love the graphics and the whole idea; however there are a few things I struggle to like. The fact that you can not run from a training battle makes getting the badges a lot more rigorous. This would not be a problem if you could afford/collect enough materials to keep your Morty’s alive. One all Mort’s are dazed you have to restart badge mission over again, highly inconvenient when about 4-6 challengers are waiting with about 3-6 Morty’s. Winning each challenge against the foe would be simple enough with strategy; thus bringing me to my next point, this is almost impossible when collected items for Morty’s HP/AP, building materials and such that are collected prior are lost if all Morty’s are dazed. It’s a long and complicated loop of crap that makes the game predictable. One round you win, one round you die and return home, to then go back and win a round and lose the next. And I worked so hard to complete the first mission... just to unlock Morty’s games and... to my surprise more fighting, while using rental Morty’s..... it’s similar to Pokémon from nentendo 64 but there is not a clear point and often enough rewards to make me want to keep playing it. And my final conclusion, I will be deleting RickandMorty after having it for several months. Quite aggravating, and pointless.

The recent “rebalance” of the multiplayer game has killed any fun of Pocket Mortys. Yeah, the trainer battles could go on forever, but putting the limits on using items and changing How switches worked (where hits took effect BEFORE switches took place) were all that were needed. Instead, they decided to collapse the game’s internal economy by essentially giving players less than 10% of the currency they used to earn while keeping prices of items at the same level, making things that much more expensive. What this effects really is not serums and such; it drains one’s ability to buy manipulator chips to collect new Mortys, which is the real fun of the game. Fighting wild Mortys no longer provides cash, nor does is help level up Mortys. Soon one is constantly scrambling for materials for chips. The only way to earn cash is either crates, Mr. Meeseeks, or the more difficult battles. Now it’s a constant fight to earn money, like a hand-to-mouth, paycheck-to-paycheck life. “That’s the Morty I need - I haven’t seen one for a week! Oh, no! I don’t have a Morty Manipulator Chip! I’m out of Flurbos! I haven’t seen any Turbulent Juice for hours!”

It’s just not fun now. It’s now more like... real life. No, thank you.

Im playing this game ever since it got released. Months ago they made an update and it caused all my progress to disappear, it was like i was playing the game for the very first time and even though i was logging in with my game center nothing was there! I contacted RickandMorty support and they told me to delete and reinstall the game and if that doesn’t work they will send me a booster of some sorts. Of course it didn’t work and they didn’t send me any booster. I was able to move past it cause it was only two weeks i was into the game. This happened again yesterday with another update they made on the game. This time though is different. I invested months into the game and i made huge progress. This time it hurt. I contacted them again and they gave me the same lousy tech support. Instead of owning their mistakes they treat you like its something thats just happened!!! Its so frustrating, im not going to bother play the game again and if you are new please keep in mind that this is going to happen to you too! Don’t invest your time cause you are going to lose it.

I was so excited to play this game when I downloaded it. I played for an hour and slowly came to the realization that you have to pay to win once you rank up. In campaign mode, you can get past the first boss practically with ease, but once you capture more Morty’s, the enemy’s mortys are stronger and the enemies have have the same amount as you do no matter what! Then you have to buy 10 potions and power ups just to stay in the battle. Even then, you basically use most of your items in one battle and not have enough for the next 3-4 battles before you can fight the boss in that world. So you’re screwed either way. Not to mention you can only carry 10 potions at a time and there’s no way of getting more once you’re in that world. This game has a great concept but this is complete trash. I highly recommend not getting this game unless you have mommy and daddy’s credit card to blow on everything within the game. I repeat, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS GAME. I’ve never done a review til now, so that should say something. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY, you’re welcome.

As someone that doesn’t play these type of games much, I got sucked into it being a fan of the show. I was just going to try it out, but went I commit to something I commit hard. I got to the last stage of the game to collect all the morties. So I pursued it thinking it was possible, but with 333 collected of 335 seen. No new morties ever appear. And they just keep adding more “unseen” morties that I never cross paths with. However you can buy them to collect them. Or your can buy expensive virtual tickets to try and win them by gamboling on the virtual machines. So it won’t let you beat the game unless you are willing to pay them, which is stupid ridiculous BS. At least let people buy those blitz and chips coupons with the Schmecles collected, as I’ve got well over a Million and nothing to spend them on. I did have fun playing the first part of the game as a distraction from life and reality for just raw entertainment without much meaning. If you do play this game, it can be addictive. I’d advise NOT taking the advice of collecting the pocket morties after you win all the levels because it just becomes a tedious choir. You’re better off obsessing on creating some form of art and creating something real world... like music, or drawing. I did have some unproductive fun in there experiencing the world of gaming, and I have nothing against fun, but I’ll stick with playing something like a guitar. At least I get an outcome in the end.

In multiplayer (different than campaign) I just spent $20 to have a chance of getting some Mortys that you can only get by spending money. That’s when I found out you can only have 450 Mortys and I was at my limit. I thought a collectible trading game would encourage collecting and trading. Especially since: 1) you need to collect multiples of most Mortys to combine to make Mortys you can only get that way, and; 2) because each are created randomly with a hidden “IV” value which determines if it will perform or not so you need to collect several to find a useful one , and; 3) there are “shiny” variants of most and you might want both shiny and non-shiny versions.

BTW - there’s over 430 (not counting shiny variant) Mortys for only 450 slots. And they are adding more after each episode.

I regret spending the time to attempt to get a full set and definitely regret spending the money. Remove the collectible aspect from multiplayer and this is just a crap PvP game with tens of hours of grinding to still have an inferior chance of winning contests with little strategic options dominated by chance (and a crap random number generator).

At first this game was cool then you get to multiplayer where you gatta lvl up to 10 to first travel around other places then end up seeing the same Marty's and even with the leveling up you have to play other players and all they do is just switch out and heal wich makes this game boring over time I only had it for two days that should tell the creators how dumb the attributes on this games is because now all you have is players that just keep switching in and out making what a 3 minute battle should be turn into 45 minutes,creators take away the attributes makes the game so stupid and hard to do anything when players just keep switching in and out to stall your team out until you have nothing to heal them with, then there's no type of match making or match ranking a lvl 10 came up to me while I was lvl 3 and this player had lvl 30 what am I supposed to do when they have 5 mortys and I only have 2 fix the multiplayer with users using items make it so that there's an option to use items or not for battles and give it a ranking system the you'll know how to make a good game. Ps take out the attributes as well .

Love that this has a campaign. Wouldn’t be near as interesting without it. While I’m only a couple dimensions in, I still have one complaint that is unfortunately holding me back from truly enjoying this venture- the animations. They’re basically are none lol. Which is surprising considering the developers have a treasure trove full of source material to pull from. Battles are fairly boring for the most part. You essentially see the same animations over and over again, even across different Mortys and abilities. Shame too, cause I thought this game was going to be well done having read other reviews, but it seems RickandMorty was released in a hurry. In one instance I do enjoy the simplicity of it all, but in another it really detracts from the thing that holds the game together- the battles. Luckily there is some strategy involved. My attention is held for now, just because of the campaign, but if the battles continue this way throughout the story, I don’t expect to be playing this for long.

There are serious bugs which will prevent you from connecting to the multiplayer mode. Additionally, opening RickandMorty takes an insane amount of time to load, crashing multiple times as it loads, and doesn't even present a login option or a back-up restore option.

I deleted RickandMorty initially to redownload and reopen a save for my progress, only to find it just started the whole game all over again from scratch, with no way to access my account. I've played the game since it was released, and this bug effectively cut me off from years of progress.

UPDATE: I was able to recover my account using my back-up phone on a cellular connection, but still think the issues mentioned should be addressed. My experience with the game has alwayd been positive, so I'm hoping this gets addressed so as to not ruin the experience for others playing the game.

This game used to be rather fun to play a year or so when I first started playing it. When season 4 of the TV show started I decided to start playing Pocket Morty once again... the game is now super boring! I enjoyed capturing Mortys and combining them, now the only Mortys you can combine are the Common Mortys. This pre classification of Rare, Epic and Exotic Mortys is simply a ploy to buy special Mortys since you can not combine any Morty that is not a Common Morty.
I honestly can not remember the exact gameplay of the old game, but traveling to other worlds has changed somehow. I had hoped that once I battled to get my portal gun back the fun would start, but now I am stuck on the citadel using the “stargate portal” and my portal gun just sends me back to the citadel. I vaguely recall that once I gained access to my portal gun my return point was on a world and not the citadel... but I could return to the citadel if I choose too.
This game has been dumbed down so much that it is very boring!

I have an iPhone XR and for some reason the game kept crashing on startup but never on the first time start up only after it had already been run before, it would be like it was trying to launch from the last place you were in the game but it couldn’t because everytime I deleted RickandMorty and reinstalled it there would be no crash and my save would be fine except for the last time in which my save was deleted and it actually kind of made me a little sad because I had put some of my time into it but it’s okay, I really liked the game but I’m probably not gonna continue playing it because I don’t want to feel like I have to work hard to get to the place I was at, it just makes it feel like a waste of time which I guess mobile games are meant to be but I liked having all the Exotic Mortys I had and such.

I have been very dedicated to this game ever since it first came out. This game is also the reason why I knew about Rick and Morty in the first place and I have loved this game ever since. I do have one problem with the game however. First of all, the small cutscene where surgeon rick is healing your morty’s, has been cut from the game. I deeply feel that this was a mistake because it was a memorable and funny little scene. Second, and more importantly, the ability to craft your own items was cut as well. Now we are just left with the crafted items already finished. The fact that you got to experiment for yourself was the fun part and the whole point of that. I honestly fear that over time this game will end up like most iOS games. I don’t mind the fact that you are given the option to speed up the game at certain points, but this game is starting to lose the heart that it used to have, just so that the game is sped up. This game is pure gold and that’s how it should stay. Please change these things around and I will bring my rating back up to 5.

This game is great. Single player is very challenging until you get into the swing of things. Multiplayer, for the most part, is easier if you’re mainly concerned with collecting Mortys and Leveling them. The multiplayer is pretty good, except people like to sit in the spots Mortys and items spawn at and ruin the whole game for everyone. Basically long story short, unless you want to get totally frustrated, don’t play multiplayer during peak hours. It would be nice if the developers were to give players more of an incentive to move around the map to cut back on the amount of camping. Possibly some form of quest where you turn in items to an npc, or maybe have a guy who will buy a “Morty of the Day” which will have people looking all over the map for even common Mortys (which won’t be so common during their day)

i actually got sucked into this game hardcore and i will continue to play it, however the main issue i have is the development of mortys. in the game you get the morty you came with, at a really low level and he always stays with you. once you start going and defeating the gym leaders, the game gets more difficult and you’ll need more mortys to progress, eventually i got a really good morty and can usually hold it up with that character for up, since he’s so overpowered. his level also determines who i’m fighting. however, OG morty can’t catch up and become a higher level as well . also, when i want to level up other mortys i’ve caught they can’t keep up either because of the 2 mortys i have that are high leveled. one time i decide to literally have 2 mortys with me, that are level 20 just so i can focus on them they still have the fight 5 characters that are 30+. it’s just kinda whacky and hard to make progress like that. i legit like the game but please fix that.. lol

I play this game growing up but the only problem is all bosses are to OP I have to fight every single time and die can you make them to make them easy I keep dying every time and also can you decrease the Op level to the bosses crazy mysterious Rick is giving me problems he keeps healing every time can you stop that like no bosses healing oh and can you also make it to where you can craft Morty like Morty head Morty body Maury arms and legs and also a yellow shirt what do you shut on the body just craft it thank you for making this awesome game but can you please add this jumping over fences no animation just you on the other side you press say and then you’re on the other side keep up the good work for this game please don’t ruin it I played this ever since it came out you ruin it you’ll regret it thank you

I’m 28: this game is like Pokémon except:
You CANT go back to the FREE healing center WHENEVER you want. If you played Pokémon, it’s like the Elite 4 in that way. Except instead of just 4 battles, you have a certain number of trainers to beat before a boss, BEFORE you can go back and heal for free. So if you are hurt and you don’t have potions or revives you HAVE to buy them. You can earn free money for watching adds. You get 30 and a potion is 250. So it’s doable, but if you don’t know this you will hit a steep curve:
Just know early on there’s one attack that hits you several times and poisons you. If you aren’t a high level you can’t do that same damage without special type attacks. Remember how long it took to get different types in Pokémon? It’s like that but with less Mortys available. But for a free game it’s hilarious and fun. Def recommend

I live this game. I've been playing this game for at least a week now and I have to say it is my favorite game after BTD Battles. Although it's great, it has a few huge flaws. Namely the inability to sell items and that the money given is stupid. I would love to sell all my unnecessary parts and items since I lose use for it and would like to have 1/2 or 1/4 of the original price. That brings me to my second point, the money which changes you get. I started the game, did 10 Battles in multiplayer and never have to buy a new munipulater chip. I think you should get about 3/4 of what we currently get. The game has gotten way too easy. Finally I have a minor pet peeve of campaign mode not working on LTE. Don't know if it is just me but would just like to throw it out there. In the end, this is an amazing Pokemon Parody, something I have wanted on RickandMorty store for a while. Thanks!

Ok for some reason there’s a glitch/bug where the game thinks you have a Morty so it give you a another regular morty! Not robomorty, or cowboymorty, just morty! same old morty with no type of strength or weaknesses if someone found out how to use it on multiplayer it could end up in chaos so plz fix this! It’s ok in Single player but not in multiplayer! (ps don’t risk it by Combining both the original morty and it may not give you anything at all or it could soft-lock the game).

(Review owner:”hi Game developers, I see that you found my review! but you didn’t tell me what you thought about it but that’s ok, just to let you know, I thought you guys love your game so let you know about a bug I found while playing (Rick and Monty) at the time, I love the show but sometimes it can Mass up. But again Ricks rules!”)

by JustT0ad

I love the game and I am a big fan of Rick and Morty, I really like that it resembles Pokémon to some sort but i feel that if there were bigger maps it would fix a lot of problems, the benefits to this are everyone wouldn't be racing to Morty’s and doing cycles and you would feel like you are looking for Morty’s instead of racing to Morty’s. Combat would feel more clean and sleek instead of running into the same person over multiple times. I keep running into a situation and other players that i have talked to, it’s when a Morty shows up on the map, and it just turns into a fight cloud, i will run to a exotic Morty and it’ll turn into a cloud as if someone had gotten to it before me, and it happens multiple times, mostly to exotics and epics. (i love the game btw)

I love this game and every aspect of it. Even though it is pleasingly simple, you still have to be somewhat strategic about how you go about the battles and how you venture through the other dimensions. Sticking to walls helps you avoid trainers you may not be ready for, look at the kind of Mortys that they have, then adjust your deck and heal your Mortys depending on the Morty types you’re going to have to deal with. Memorizing what Mortys are which type is an extremely helpful thing to do. This game is addictive and it’s a good game to just relax and play. Although, I do have two big issues with the battling: the accuracy rates and the enemy getting to hit you twice all the time. My moves barely hit the other Mortys already, I don’t need them to use accuracy-depleting moves to make my accuracy even worse! At the same time, the other Mortys will constantly hit you, with barely any missed moves. And for some reason they constantly get two hits in a row, while you never get that unless they happen to use a health serum. Even when you paralyze them they’ll hit you three times before they actually get stopped for once. It’s pretty ridiculous, and enough to be extremely irritating when it comes to battles. Other than that; addicting, fun game! I just wish that small part of the battles was changed.
