So I'm on day 320, and I have to say I love this game. The developers get a lot of flack as if they do things to intentionally tick off the players. But the reality is, they have come up with a very creative and well thought out mobile game that's FREE TO PLAY. 

My son is just shy of 3 years old. I scroll through my roster and he knows the names of half my characters (I'm at 102) and what they do like a normal 3 year old would know animals and their sounds.

Me: "Who's that?"
Son: "Pada min!" (Spiderman)
Me: "What does he do?"
Son: (Palm up rock-'n'-roll sign) "shew-shew"

"Who's this?"
"Tir" (Thor)
"What's does he do?"
(Dah mana bada hamma down!!!!)

I'm stoked about this game. My son and I enjoy it every night as I put him to bed. Not just for its entertainment value, it also brings up some serious questions and teaching moments:

"Dada... Wurs BatMan?"

    Nice that you enjoy the game that much, and that your son does too. 

    I also think it's a great game, since it managed to keep me playing for 3 years now (no other game mananged that - I'm not a gamer). It certainly has a lot of value.

    When he asks about Batman I hope you tell him Marvel rules and DC sucks. Raise that kid right.  ;)
    He'll get that automatically if he watches the movies.  You just have to stop DC before Wonder Woman.

    I gotta say, Wonder Woman was better than the other DC movies, but that's a super low bar. It still wasn't very good; I think people just felt like they were obligated to love it because it was a female superhero movie.

    I also love this game but only its mobile version. I first played it on steam in 2013 and it was really hard to compete. I dropped the game after 100 days of playing (after day 20 was logging just for1 training match to get daily reward). Then in the beggining of 2015 i found out that there is a mobile version and now i am at day 946.

    I thought it was pretty good. I totally guessed the 'twist' halfway through the movie (normal for me. They have to drop hints otherwise it's not a twist, it's just deus ex machina). You're right, though, Dawn of Justice set that bar really low. I go into those movies with extremely low expectations and generally end up enjoying them. 

    I have not attempted this process with Elektra, however. As I understand it, "not even once" is sufficient for that one.

    If “Dah mana bada hamma down!!!” isn’t the name of one of 5* Thor’s abilities I’m going to be disappointed.

    And if they ever put Hercules in the game then they better have an ability called "Disappointed!!!"

    As annoying as some of the decisions are in this game, I remind myself this game could always be a lot worse in terms of its monitisation.

    I spend a little cash on it here and there, but I always do that because I choose to, not because I feel if I don't slap down £30 a week I'm going to be so far behind the curve as to be lost forever.

    The game is incredibly fair with its monitisation and is absolutely not pay to win. I mean sure you could pay insane amounts of money to get maxed 5*s but...all you're doing then is playing against other people who did the same thing. That ends up making the game *less* fun.

    So while the game every now and then has some silly moments (like the weird pay wall for this new Shield Training mode) I have little doubt it'll get rectified eventually in some manner. Overall the game is still enjoyable to play.

    The game is absolutely miles better than it was a year ago.  Fixing the Iso drought made a huge difference, and the 4* game is way more creative and engaging than it ever was a year ago.  I dislike the increased grindiness for CP compared to the last year, but if it's an alternative between irritation at long unrewarding stretches and just a straight up brick wall, I know which is less demoralizing.  (Not to say it *is* a choice between those things - it's completely reasonable to have progression where it used to be, devs.)
