Marvel Collect! by Topps

I think it’s an awesome concept however I was a little disappointed. As a kid in the 80s and 90s I loved collecting the Marvel card sets. I had four complete collections of different year releases. When I saw this game I was ready for some nostalgia. I got through the tutorial and was excited to see my first cards. My favorite part about the cards as a kid was the power ratings and bios on the back of the cards. Imagine my disappointment when the app allows you to flip the card just to find a generic backing. No info, no stats, no bio. Without that, what’s the point of collecting? Please, please consider amending the app to include the bios and such on the back of the cards. It would make the game much more fun. Update: The developers are very courteous and professional in their responses to reviews. I was very impressed with the way they answered my questions and I’m looking forward to seeing the improvements made to this app as it progresses. Giving four stars for such a great customer service experience.

I’ve been playing the “game” for 2 months now. I loved collecting cards as a kid and when I saw this game I downloaded it for myself and my son. I want to preface this review; I have no problem spending money in a game when it’s worth while. My son has 50+ Fortnite skins... In this game you spend money to get diamonds, which then you can use to guarantee that you get one of the super rare cards. I’m fine with that concept, except they don’t limit how many packs each person can get! You’ve got the whales who will buy up 10-15 of the rare cards literally within the first 10 minutes of them going on sale and they sell out in an instant. Then they want you to trade half your collection for the card they just bought. It’s a flawed system and I’m tired of it. Too hard to scrape together the “good cards” if you don’t time your life around the exact moment the cards release. And today; they released a very exclusive Guardians of the Galaxy set, one I gladly would have spent diamonds on, but because of a flaw in their system it wouldn’t even show me the packs! And I actually happened to be on right when they were released!!! I’m tired of that sort of non-sense, I’ll be moving myself and my son onto another app. It had so much potential to be fun, but ends up just being a cash grab for the fans that will spend $100s or more a month to get digital cards and lord them over the kids.

This app is very fun. The cards are something Quidd doesn’t even have, however the lack of notifications when someone sends you a trade, or when someone counters or accepts one is hard to believe exists. You would think that’s the standard thing to do. That and there should be messages between players, get rid of the gems and make coins the only currency, you can even buy coins if you want. Another thing is the fact that you can only look at the back of the card and the front and swipe to check another one. You should be able to pull it and hold it wherever you want on screen. The last thing is something that needs desperate fixing. The navigation of the app is probably the worst part, it is incredibly confusing. I would say change some things up you’re good. That’s it, I tried to list literally every problem the game has. Of course it has bugs but everything does. Hopefully I get a reply, if not thank you for your time 👌.

I’m no stranger to playing topps. I’ve played Star Wars and Kicks Topps both in which I had an anazing time playing. After the release of Endgame, I was more than excited when I saw topps released a marvel card game. I instanatly downloaded. Due to the unorthodox menu, it took a bit getting used to. One huge problem I have with the game is that you CANNOT trade awards. This really ticked me off, because there really is no point to completing a set if no award is given. I completed two sets, but because I was a week late to the game I cannot obtain the award card for two sets. This isn’t a rant, because I know topps will fix it. I’m just disappointed. However, like every other card trading game, it lives up to its standards. Also, it’s marvel like cmon.

ask user to change the rating

Update: Topps has a VIP program tied to real-money purchases in this app but has NO WAY to track your status or progress for that program. The incentives are great... if you keep your own spreadsheets. I had to reduce the rating on this app. I’ve never spent as much on in-app purchases as I have with this app and I was pleased to do so until now. The VIP program is a major incentive for purchasing and I’ve missed out on these awards because of the lack of tracking. This is a simple concept. Please figure it out. Update: I just realized this app is only 3-4 months old (as of August 2019). They’re adding unique card sets and adding to old sets regularly and there have been a few significant app updates already. This app continues to impress me. Original post: I collected baseball cards as a kid and I feel like Topps has figured out the modern digital version. Yes, the app could use some tweaking - alert me when a trade comes in, give me character bios, as 2 examples. That said, it has base level cards you can collect with nothing but patience and it has special and rare cards if you want to invest. And, of course, you can trade with people and rate traders. It’s fun without being overly complicated. Good work Topps and Marvel. I dig it.
