Plagiarism is the greatest form of flattery

Recently I've read some article about Capcom announces Ghostbusters Puzzle Fighter for iOS, out this June.
Seeing the game's screenshot, I see so many similarities of this game with Marvel Puzzle Quest.
Three people on 1 team, three special power each, the way the special power diplayed, it's totally a rip-off.

I think you should sue them. You'll make more money from that than from healthpack sales. May be. icon_neutral.gif

    Is it a steam game? Could always use a new app anyway.

    No, it's a mobile game. For iOS only at the moment.

    Not sure Ghostbusters is going to have a ton of exploitable characters the way Marvel does (or DC would), but hey, that's cool. Ish.

    I guess.

    Don't worry, a good 90% of the games are ripping off other games. There's really only a handful of unique freemium games with a zillion copies. I don't know if people buy other companies game code or if they get it some other way.

    Not sure. Might be OP. We'd better enjoy them before they get nerfed.

    Because the dude in front is in full on chainmail, so if they weren't she wouldn't be protected. Also some poor lighting choices.

    Not that there is really a leg to stand on in terms of super hero costumes, but still. That artwork is straight up dumb.

    I succumb to them every time. Why should a ghost be any different?

    The big question is, should I wait for this, or get into puzzles and dragons now?

    To be fair this ultron mode of dropping bombed is very similar to bejewel butterflies mode. Basically butterflies dpop up from the bttom and every turn, they all fly up one tile. If any reach the top, you lose.

    I think they're onto something. Marvel should take the hint and make Flappy Modok.

    Yeahhhhh...there's literally hundreds of match 3 games out there right now. Many of which were around before this. and yes, many of them with similar "rpg" mechanics too.
