edited October 2015 in MPQ General Discussion
I just noticed that Magic Puzzle Quest is available in the Google Play store, so I thought I'd check it out.

It's quite buggy and still missing a few art assets. There's load times on everything, coupled with a lack of feedback/response means that I'm forever pressing a button 4 or 5 times since I can't tell if it detected the first attempt. There's no consistent back button, so menus are a bit of a maze.

And it's still better than MPQ. Demiurge will really need to step up their game.

    Nice!
    I should be able to have a good go at it on my commute home today and come up with some more detailed impressions.

    All my devices are iOS, so will have resort to my wife's phone/tablet to check it out. She's glued to those android devices though

    I am anxiously awaiting this release. I am a huge mtg nerd.

    I'm not locking or moving this thread, this is just a friendly green reminder that there's a whole dedicated subforum for MtGPQ over here.

    Did this soft release come with any hard release dates?

    Nope. We're planning before the end of the year, but nothing definitive to state yet.

    My first reaction was "Cool! I might give that a try!"
    Followed by "Wait...no. I do not need to commit myself to ANOTHER game like that."

    As fun as it likely is, MPQ is my dedicated daily game. Adding more would just murder my...pffth, I was going to say social life, who am I kidding?

    So it's a standard MTG digital product? Check. As a 20-year MTG veteran I'll skip this one as well then.

    I'm lost. What in the world is this... "social life" you speak of? It seems like a strange concept. I'm curious. Should I be pursuing such feats?

    Got up to day 15 playing MTG:PQ before I deleted it from my phone. The concept is interesting at first, but it grows stale fast. Marvel PQ is simpler but elegant; MTG:PQ is just clunky. It didn't help that the UI and UX was pretty terrible, they should it improve it first before they release it worldwide.

    Different developer, same publisher. Marvel is done by Demiurge. Magic is done by Hibernum. Both are published by D3.
