Ratings and reviews

The gameplay itself is fine. It's a match-3 game with simple combat and leveling. The art is cute, and the characters are neat. However, the stamina is very annoying. You can watch an ad if you don't have enough stamina, but only for enough to play one level. Most of the ads are over 2 minutes. That's roughly the same amount of time you'll spend playing a level. Stamina automatically refills way too slowly. Not doing a great job at hiding that you want players to give you money in order to play.

Match Land is a fun, quick-thinking match 3 game where you battle little monsters for coins and characters. there's enough gameplay to keep you entertained but the game does gain significant difficult if you do not spend real money to purchase gems. I noticed this fairly quickly after playing the game for several days and making it to the second board level. I've been stuck with the same characters for days, with no sight of a new character anytime soon.

Not entirely pay to win but it leans heavily in that direction. Once you get to a certain level it's impossible to move forward without upgrades and you have the choice of either paying a crazy amount of money for gems (like $20 for a useful amount) or grind until you can upgrade. This is more of an "idle" game rather than "puzzle rpg" because there's a lot of waiting. If the gems were reasonable then I would likely buy some but I'm not dropping $20 to upgrade 1 or 2 characters in a mobile game.
