Review summary

Players praise Royal Hexa Puzzle for its fun, addictive hex-based puzzle gameplay and challenging ideas, especially for fans of the genre. However, the common refrain across reviews is that the experience is severely undermined by pervasive, lengthy ads—sometimes even after paying for an ad-free version—along with ad-related interruptions, browser popups, and mid-game ad placement. Other frequent concerns include changes to gameplay mechanics that feel inconsistent or punishing, issues with daily rewards (missing or stuck), false advertising about features, and intrusive prompts. Overall, the gameplay concept is solid, but the monetization and UX flaws threaten continued use.
Pros
  • Fun and addictive puzzle experience
  • Engaging hex puzzle mechanics that fans of the genre enjoy
  • Challenging and brain-stimulating gameplay
  • Great concept for a hex puzzle
  • Overall enjoyable and replayable when not overwhelmed by ads
Cons
  • Excessive ads that interrupt gameplay (frequent, long, and even occur after paying to remove them)
  • Gameplay mechanics feel inconsistent and unbalanced, with changes that make it hard to plan moves
  • Daily rewards are missing, stuck, or no longer accessible
  • False advertising about features (no internet required, ad-free experience) and misleading claims
  • Intrusive UI interruptions like rating prompts and pop-ups that disrupt play

2025-03-30 Ol***** Fun and addictive game but having an ad after each level PLUS an ad if you leave the game screen to go to a different app with the latest update is excessive. If watching ads to try and get through a level, I think that having over 100 seconds of ads sometimes is ridiculous. Lastly, the updates are super untimely. This isn’t a big deal, but I don’t understand why the Christmas theme came in January and why it’s almost April and there is no update to the Christmas theme lol

2025-02-28 Ha***** This game is fun to play if you have the patience to watch the same game promos at the end (sometimes) of almost every move. Way, way, way too many game ads. Update: playing again today and there are so many game ads. It is ridiculous. And you cannot click out of them because you have to sit there and watch the whole freaking game being played. It can take upwards of 20 minutes to play Royal Hexa because of all the game ads that are in this game. I have actually stopped playing games and deleted the app because of this and I’m getting ready to delete Royal Hexa.please get rid of all the game ads… It’s totally unnecessary! Follow up: Ads galore after 1 or 2 moves. I watch more game ads ( some as long as 80 seconds! ) than I play this game. Obviously the makers of this game do not care. I’m getting close to deleting this game!

2025-02-09 Go***** I paid to get rid of ads on this thing and I’m still getting ads. Sometimes they come in the middle of a game. I’ve tried to contact the developers to no avail. Wish I would have read the reviews first. They won’t answer my questions, so I doubt I can get a refund.

2025-02-04 Du***** The designing part takes a long time to complete. You don’t have a lot of ads here in the game but you will be forced to watch a video ad not at the right time (or any time) when you start a game/round then you’re forced to leave the game, exit, come back and then you have to start over. The Hexa games are slow and open up to multiple other colors and fill up your Hexa grid pretty quickly. So you’re forced to slow down. Now there is a round where you have to break open a ton more Hexa tiles by making combos next to those locked tiles. But instead of moving inward to attack those locked tiles until they go away the tiles move outwards my and don’t unlock anything even when they full stack gets completed. So due to this and other gameplay issues you run out of room fast and your tools to recover are still too expensive because you don’t make any money after each round. You get 5 coins but have to watch a video to double that. This sudden change in game interface with the locked tiles no longer makes sense given your poor choices of color stacks with multiple colors. Update: I’m a master at these games and I just beat this particular level under these conditions. Ultimately you do run out of room and continue to get crummy color stacks. So you have to watch a video to get some more coins to pay for the cheapest recovery tool to get more favorable color stacks. This game is likely going to be deleted. Was kind of fun before until they made this completely different way of playing with horrible options that don’t help you win at all.

2025-01-26 S.***** Used to REALLY love this game, but now, even when you press the “x” on the bottom ads, it STILL automatically opens up a browser tab. I understand needing ad revenue, but they’ve made it incredibly frustrating. So not only does it automatically Open all ads, it also causes a lag in the game which affects your ability to play quickly

2025-01-18 Hu***** The update removed the ability to get a free daily reward. It seems to offer the option, but only the $.99 option to buy all the rewards shows no way to collect the freebie.

2025-01-13 Th***** I really enjoy this game, but after the last update, the daily rewards seem stuck and don’t refresh. Please fix!
