“fix your game — fix ranked it every time i play for ranked on my second match i have to leave because there’s always a bug loading in and the only option i have is to leave the match making me have a bad rep and lose some of my rank so i ask of you to fix this” — ★☆☆☆☆“RANKED SYSTEM GRIEF ISSUE — It is impossible to advance in the ranked system without teaming up with people you meet in the game or friends you know. There needs to be a vote to kick option for players that grief or intentionally do not attack because a loss detrimentally affects your ranked score the higher you progress. If grief is detected then the points lost should be refunded back the player. These players…” — ★☆☆☆☆“What's going on with your matchmaking for ranked mode? — I've been playing this game since 2019. Everything was fine until I started encountering opponents in ranked battles with 2-3 Primes, with hundreds of thousands of Trophies, and only at Diamond stage. Moreover, I encounter allies who are so bad that I report them every match because they genuinely don't know how to play and pick characters that sometimes lack a…” — ★★☆☆☆

“Buffies/Powercreep ruined the game — This game has such an issue with power creep because supercell is so money hungry and they release a new brawler or buffies every five seconds and when they do release them they’re op and you can’t play the game without them. They also ruin brawlers constantly with reworks and yet the game is so insanely bugged with endless current visual bugs and bugs with brawler’s mechanics.…” — ★☆☆☆☆“Realest review you will see — This game is filled with many unbalanced brawlers and at this point in the game they are just using some ai generated features of the game which is sad because this game used to be so good.” — ★☆☆☆☆“Brawl stars sucks — You can’t even push above 1000 trophies without getting pro players in your lobby and and when you kill them, more people come and try and kill you. So once you get in a fight, more and more people will come till you are dead. SO IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE. I spent a hour today playing and got 6 trophies because of pros and teamers. Don’t waste your time like I did. IT IS SOOO BAD.” — ★☆☆☆☆

“Waste of my life — Been playing since 2017. Wish I would have done anything else than waste my time this game. Unless you are in the best clans or are friends with the best players, you won’t make it far in the game other than the basic stuff anyone f2p can get. They have added so many upgraded features to certain brawlers that people with the 100k less trophies than me have the gameplay advantage over me.

“Last update is catastrophic — Since the last update, impossible to play. Either the game won't launch, or games crash during gameplay… never seen such garbage” — ★☆☆☆☆ · French“Impossible to open the game — Since the update impossible to open the game which constantly restarts the content download bar in a loop, something needs to be done” — ★★☆☆☆ · French“Game with potential — Game with potential, but destroyed by the number of absolutely terrible updates. Adding characters every month when the others aren't even balanced. Daily game bugs. Banned in ranked because the game crashes. Potential on paper. But anything but a pleasant game to play” — ★☆☆☆☆ · French

“Matchmaking null — wlh it's ABERRANT to have 80k trophies and get matched with dudes below 25k in like EVERY match. it's atrocious the people who play this game it's fr*aking crazy you gotta examine their heads wlh.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · French“Dumb ally — The game is good but too unbalanced, I'm not talking about allies sometimes being worse which happens but sometimes where for several games in a row the game makes you lose on purpose by unbalancing the matches several times in a row to make you lose, by putting you against people well above you and in your team people well below you several times in a row, or allies who simply don't play and are afk” — ★☆☆☆☆ · French“Brawl bug — So this game is made to hurt you mentally. They prevent you from reaching your objectives. In ranked it prevents you from choosing your character so you get disconnected and lose points this just happened to me 10 times in a row this game is bad I don't recommend it the game developers killed your parents” — ★☆☆☆☆ · French

“The game went downhill — Been playing for years but I stopped because the game is full of bots. You lose twice? Bot. You have less than 1k trophies? Bot.

Reviews are grouped one storefront at a time, so each storefront words its complaints separately. Two are added together here when they carry the same name, or when their wordings share half their meaningful words — one fixed rule, applied the same way to every app, and the reviews under each complaint are there to check it against. Where it is close but not certain the two stay apart, so this under-joins rather than over-joins.
