If you want to have optional video ads to increase your points or something then that would be fine. It also boasts about paying some money to remove the ads for a while which shows you how greedy the game is. It relies too much on ads instead of developing good game content that will keep you going. Overall, Monster Squad Rush is a bad game. Bright visuals just aren’t going to be nearly enough to get me to stick around either, I need more than that. It’s not so bad that everyone is completely off model or anything like that so I can still give the game some credit there. I would consider it to be fairly low among app games and doesn’t look nearly as good as any of the official ones but at least you can tell who the characters are. I’ll say that the graphics are okay at least. It certainly doesn’t do anything to try and make the game a little more fun. There are sound effects yes but that’s it and it’s always eery to play a game with no music but just the sounds going in. They couldn’t be bothered to even get free domain songs in there so you’re going to need to open up Pandora in the background so you have something to listen to. Not “Barely any music” but literally no music. Sure you could keep playing the endless runner levels but with nothing to unlock that wouldn’t be quite as smooth.Īnother big shot against the game is that there is no music. I think that’s why it is padded out with ads because otherwise you’d beat the game quickly and then there wouldn’t be much else to do. It’s not like there is a ton of content to unlock either. So this is a game that I definitely would say to stay away from. I really enjoy endless runners but not enough to put up with that for very long. On the way to level 8 I passed well over 10 video ads and so at that pace the game is way too slow. There’s just no way to really play the game smoothly. I’ve played my share of app games in the past and this has to be the most egregious yet. I know you have to keep the game free somehow but there’s no way you have to include this many video ads. The ads are just too annoying and frequent. By the time I made it to the 8th level I knew that was it for me. Each of these ads are complete videos for the same games over and over again which is annoying. All new hats, characters, and bosses are hidden behind ads as well. When you beat the boss there is another ad that plays. When you’re starting a level there is another ad that plays. After each level there is an ad that plays for a while before you can skip it. Now the issue here is the advertisements as I mentioned. They don’t effect the gameplay at all as this is purely a costume change but it’s still cool. It feels like a true superstars endless racing game. Obviously the game doesn’t have the rights to these guys so it’s impressive that they got them all together. Thanks to a glitch I unlocked them all even though you’re supposed to play tournaments and do a bunch of events to slowly get them. You’ve got Brock from Pokemon, (No Ash despite all the ads) Iron Man, Spider-Man, Venom, and Lady Deadpool from Marvel. There is also quite the character cast here. I know there are over 160 levels at least. Its a very simple formula and you just keep on going so this had the potential to be really fun as you keep on going through. After that you move on to the next level. If you watch an ad then you can double the initial scan and catch him in less tries. At the end of the level you go up against a boss Pokemon and when you defeat him you will gain more knowledge of the Pokemon. Pokemon will stand in your way and you catch them by hitting them with the Pokeballs which is automatic as you run forward. The main mode has you running down a road and you will need to grab as many Pokeballs and gems as possible. Who wouldn’t want to play it right? Well the game has fun gameplay and some pretty neat features but ultimately it is all completely squandered by the unrelenting barrage of advertisements everywhere you go. The advertisements for this looked pretty fun as it was an endless runner within the Pokemon universe. Still you want to try it out and that was how I was introduced to the Monster Squad Rush. There comes a time in everyone’s life where they see an advertisement for something that looks pretty cool but you know that it’s definitely got to be fake.
