It’s what one expects,although some minor issues ensue

By godzillawilla (Pcmac user)

this app Arena is definitely a good game to play on PC and the idea of it being ported onto mobile devices is no easy task, and I think that for the most part the game looks and feels fine when it works as intended. As of writing the mobile version has been out for two days so hopefully by then the issues I state will be fixed. The only issues I have with Arena on mobile is that the ui is a direct copy of the PC’s version, making the screen seem much smaller than it is which can make it hard for some people to see what to press if they want to access their decks for example. Every time I boot up the game I keep getting a “asset error” when there’s nothing wrong with how stuff looks so I have to wait a bit to load into the main menus. Lastly whenever you tutor for a card or have a large board state the game becomes clunky as you can either type the card you want through a filter or search for it manually and have to use a scroll bar instead of just swiping; with large boardstates the game arranges your cards in a linear row instead of a large square like in the PC version so if you want to activate a creatures ability you swipe to scroll across your creatures which makes the game lag for a bit, and the overall size of what makes the game struggle is yet to be determined as I’ve only encountered this about two times.
Must have app!

By P4ras (Pcmac user)

Arena is an amazing game, the game does an amazing job at explaining how this app works, game strategies, and is easy to understand in general. Many people are complaining about lag with large board states, but it is as mentioned, with large board states only. That is to be expected as the game has to keep track of both the opponent’s board state and your board state. This involves so many various mechanics that it would be expected to have lag. The only other complaint that I could possibly think of is acquirement of cards. The wildcard system makes sense, but it is highly slanted towards players who make in game purchases. I think that it should be a bit more friendly towards free to play users but I still think that is an amazing piece of software. But that most recent complaint is of course very minor and is outweighed by the fact that Arena is free, so they have to make money in some way or form to keep it going. So in short, it does have its flaws, but what app doesn’t. I think that the developers have done an amazing job at bringing arena to mobile and don’t get enough credit.
Game has potential, but isn’t there yet

By Finley Rolex (Pcmac user)

A long time MTG fan, I was ecstatic when I heard that Arena was coming to mobile. The game looked interesting, and I hoped to play as much as I could. However, after playing the game for a few weeks, I started to find the glaring flaws that just kept on presenting themselves. For one, the card economy is a mess. Getting the specific card you want requires wildcards, which are only attainable through opening vast amounts of packs. These packs are technically able to be earned through challenges, but in no where near a large enough quantity to facilitate brewing multiple fairly strong decks. This over the top pay-to-play aspect is in of itself enough to discourage me from recommending this game to other people. That being said, this excessive cost may have been able to be overlooked if not for the other problem with Arena. Frankly, the game does not work well. I’ve had multiple matches in which I was unable to tap lands, or activate abilities of creatures for no reason but Arena not responding to it. I play on a new 2020 iPad, which works perfectly well for other games (and even for other parts of Arena) but the random inability to input has cost me quite a few games. So all in all, despite my initial excitement and love for MTG, I can’t recommend new players to Arena in good faith. I look forward to potential future updates to the client, and hope this problems can be fixed going forward.
Connection and server problems

By literalynonamesareavailable (Pcmac user)

I really like this game but it has a lot of flaws. In starting off the game they have the player do the color challenge before they can access other game modes. I like this it allows the player to learn the game, unfortunately in my experience it is not completable because we the player tries to do the last challenge of each color the waiting for server sign pops up and freezes the game so you have to exit and reload just for it to freeze again because there is nothing else you can do. Because the challenges cannot be completed the player can’t use any other game mode. I was however able to find that the player can turn that block of but only after thoroughly exploring the settings and whatnot. This would have been a nice thing for the makers of the app to include on the home screen so players actually know about it. Another this is that recently the app has not allowed me a player to open the app. It goes to a black screen and then says disconnected please reconnect to continue and goes to a black screen. In going through the trouble shooting steps was not helpful. And trying to contact support has proven tedious and inconvenient. I hope that the company can address these issues so that players like me can start to enjoy the game again.
