Reviews
- Fun and relaxing puzzle game that encourages creativity through element combinations.
- Offers a nostalgic experience for fans of the original Doodle God, with new elements and game modes.
- Good for casual play and achieving completion, with some clever and humorous combinations.
- Considered overpriced for the amount of content and short gameplay duration.
- Some puzzles are illogical and rely on vague combinations, leading to frustration.
- The additional game modes, like demon battles, are seen as lackluster and not engaging.

The gameplay primarily involves combining two elements to discover new creations, which some users find limited. While [i]Doodle Devil[/i] is seen as a continuation of the original game, it, along with other similar puzzle games, maintains the same basic mechanics across various themes.
“[i]Doodle Devil[/i] may be considered the first continuation of the original game, followed by various other lovely little puzzle games, with different themes yet the same mechanics.”
“Not much gameplay other than dragging two elements together in hopes they create something new.”

The game has limited replayability, with some players expressing uncertainty about returning to it, especially given its short duration and higher price point. While a lower cost might encourage revisits, the current value proposition leaves many feeling dissatisfied.
“I could see myself coming back to it in a few months.”
“The game offers so many different paths and choices that I can't wait to replay it.”
“Each playthrough feels unique, making me eager to dive back in and explore new strategies.”
“If the game was like $2 or $3 (similar to how much it was on the iTunes store back in the day), there would be no issue, but $10 for a 3-hour game like this with virtually no replayability, I wish I never bought it.”
“I'm not sure about its replayability, but I could see myself coming back to it in a few months.”

The monetization strategy of the game relies heavily on microtransactions, particularly in mobile versions, which utilize an energy system that may deter players who prefer not to spend money.
“If you don’t like paying for it at all, you can get a mobile version from one of the appropriate platforms, but keep in mind that those still use an energy system with microtransactions.”
“If you don’t like paying for it at all, you have to get a mobile version from one of the appropriate platforms – yet those still use an energy system with microtransactions.”
