User Reviews

Best Fiends is praised for its charming, depthful puzzles and long-running appeal, with accessible gameplay for all ages and calming moments. However, users repeatedly flag heavy ads, frustrating level difficulty, and concerns about monetization after the Playtika acquisition, plus occasional glitches and data loss. The core draw—fiend collection and strategic progression—remains strong, but balancing difficulty, reducing intrusive promos, and stabilizing progress would address the main repeat criticisms while preserving the game’s charm.

Pros

Fun, engaging match-3 puzzle with depth—collecting and upgrading fiends adds strategic variety.
Nostalgia and long-term appeal; players have been enjoying it for years and it remains accessible for different ages.
Calming, relaxing gameplay that can help reduce anxiety and provide a soothing experience.
Generally positive reception and, for some players, responsive customer support that handles issues promptly.
Fair progression options where spending is optional rather than mandatory, allowing advancement without forced purchases.

Cons

Ad-heavy experience with frequent ads, pop-ups, and event promos that interrupt play.
Difficulty spikes and levels that feel hard or require boosters, leading to perceptions of pay-to-progress.
Dissatisfaction with ownership changes (Playtika) and monetization shifts after the acquisition.
Technical issues such as glitches and progress loss/loss of data across sessions or devices.
Upgrading fiends can become expensive later in the game, creating a cost burden for continued advancement.

Recent reviews

A lot of reviewers say the game is relaxing. I, however, don’t find it, relaxing in the slightest. Within a few levels of downloading it, it was obvious it was a pay to play game. There are levels that are easy and fun, and then there are levels that the only way to win it is to have incredible luck or have power ups. Power ups don’t generally come easily, which is when it becomes a pay to play. I’m not a fan of the game in later levels, but the first 50 or so are pretty relaxing. It wasn’t a complete waste of time, but the replayability and the unreal number of ads just wasn’t worth what fun the game provided.

This game is perfect for people who enjoy losing over and over again. Also, if you do win a 3 min boost the game starts the timer immediately but the game will not allow you to use the boost until their “graphic show” is completed. Leaving you with only 1.5 mins left of a 3 min boost you haven’t even used yet.
