MARVEL Puzzle Quest
If you like Match 3 games, you will adore this one! Marvel Puzzle Quest really is the best I have ever played. If you are not into Match 3, I think you should still give this one a try, as it might just change your mind.
While the micro-transactions do make for a pay-to-win situation, you can still get there through ordinary grinding.
Highly recommended.

I’ve enjoyed this game and didn’t mind making in game purchases early on.
I had the account wiped after a patch once. I contacted customer service about it and they fixed it in 1 day.
It always runs smoothly on my PC.
I guess it is slow at first but after 2 years, I’ve got a great roster and many of my heros are maxxed so I can play as long as I want and don’t ever see the need to make another in game purchase.

OIL PATCH SIMULATIONS
i have been playing the game for several months now. there are no problems with this game. everything works properly. technical support is outstanding. i had a problem starting the game because of my system setup is unique and the game itself gives you info on how to contact support. an impressive first for me. the game tells you what is wrong with it and how to fix it. nice. simple fix takes seconds just enter a special code and it fixes itself to work on my system. never heard of that before. top notch game support.

so it says to purge drill rigs to relocate and various other commands that do not have options associated with them. how exactly does this work? do i write my own script to implement these dynamics that supposedly exist or do i just accept the fact that the game is not only broken but not even complete?

Age of Gladiators II: Death League
So I’m about three hours in now, and actually having a lot of fun. Its not as deep as I hoped, but still a really solid squad manager for a detail orient statistic loving player.
As for gameplay, it took me a few tries to get a decent start going, but on the fifth try I got it right. I am now “Rotwound,” a rather arachnoid ex-fighter. Gonna say, not too fond of the gladiator stylization, but whatever, pushing on. Rotwound opened the game by hiring a vorcinne (the hairless spider dude, ‘cause there’s also a spider yeti, yeeeah) scout who can hire other spider dudes at the beginning. The scout found a couple ok fighters, but most importantly Slowsin (the spiderdudes have rather menacing portmanteaus as names) who is an excellent melee fighter with loads of damage and accuracy, but not much hp. Slowsin is given an axe and medium armor and an adrenal booster, and sent out to fight. This he does with great joy and abandon. Fairly quickly “Slowsin” racks up ten kills, and is renamed “Executioner,” for reasons “Rules and Guidelines” does not let me make a joke about. Executioner has now led Rotwound’s gladiator asteroid team of spider dudes to 14-0 victories and speicializations in axes, medium armor, and adrenal boosters. The old spiderdude scout found another few badass spiderdudes, and then went to recruit what are apparently constipated trolls. He found a very scary constipated troll, who is now training to be more scary. This brings the story of Rotwound and Executioner to day 90, at which point they have not lost a gladiator, fight, or limb, because apparently Rotwound can live up to his name ‘casue amputations are a thing. I think. There’s something about cybernetics later on. Gonna keep updating this as I play for while.

TL:DR - If you enjoyed the first game, you can’t go wrong with this sequel as long you’re OK with the Sci-Fi setting instead of the Rome setting. (Though the Rome setting is coming soon per the Devs)
If you like a detailed opinion of the game, read on! :)
Well,
I’m not much for writing reviews on the steam website, but felt perhaps this one was a good time for that cause I’ve been enjoying the dedication the Devs have given to this game post release so far. Overall if you played the first game, called Age of Gladiators, then you will encounter features very similar to that with this one.

Age of Gladiators
The “potential scenario” listed in the “About this game” section is a surprisingly reasonable introduction to the game. The options suggested there truly are all available to you, and the considerations involved are also real. However, it also implies a bit more freedom of choice than is truly available. Regardless, if the ‘potential scenario’ looks compelling to you, that alone is probably enough to suggest you would enjoy the game.
The game is solid, and worth trying. I will list what I believe the strengths and weaknesses are, with a primary focus on the weaknesses. I will focus on the weaknesses because overall, the game works. The game is fun. You will see that I feel like it has a lot of as-yet unrealized potential, but that does not mean I do not think this is a solid title. It is quite solid, and while it does some things wrong, it does plenty right.

So this game has been out for well over a year and there’s no one new buying this game anyway so there is no point to me writing this review. But I’m going to do it anyway because fuck you that’s why.
As you can see by my stupid number of hours played in this game I actually enjoy it. Seriously I don’t know how the hell I played this game for 41 hours without blowing my brains out even once still astonishes me. I suppose it’s because I am a big fan of management simulation games and what’s cooler than a gladiator simulation game?

Age of Gladiators II: Rome
A diamond in the rough.
The short review……
An epic upgrade giving fans of the first game many requested features and priced for perfection based on the value you get back gameplay wise. Basically a business mgmt game set in ancient rome, this will test your budget balancing skills and planning ahead. The learning curve exists but if your smart its not to punishing to figure out whats going on. The game is such a dynamic upgrade to the first one that its a must own for fans of this genre. A lot of people have been waiting for a game like this and with the rpg and new tactical combat features its truly a gem among casual games. It adds so much depth of choice and strategic options with budget and gladiator mgmt along with the new option to fight yourself it almost knocks itself out of the casual genre which is why you see mixed reviews. Honestly those reviews are very unfair and treat the game like a AAA title from a huge developer. This is one guy who made a great game with a lot of features and options. It’s not meant to be battle brothers in ancient rome, it’s meant to be an upgrade to the first game and its a hell of an upgrade. If you want to manage a ludus this game is for you.

BLUF: If you always wanted to run a stable of detailed gladiators with RPG levelling you will like this game. If you are looking for X-COM-like depth in the tactical combat aspects of the game though, this isn’t nearly to that level. Dev involvement is swift and sure (huge plus).
There simply aren’t many gladiator simulators out there anymore…. the reigning combat king (especially for asymmetric multi-layer) is still the old BBS door game *Melee! (the exclamation point was part of the title)
