YongYea I so knew this was coming down I play the game I downloaded it to my phone and I played for no more than 45 minutes before they were starting to ask you for money and they didn't even allow you to complete the mission that's why I am mediately got rid of it on my phone and I wrote a message on the bulletin board saying stay away from this game unless you want to spend copious amounts of money to play it. Cuz what I'm talking about is that your character ended up being strangled by these weeds and you need to perform the light wand to remove these Vines and you couldn't remove these Vines until you paid $0.99 are $5 or whatever amount to have the amount of money in order to free yourself and soon as I saw that that's when I got rid of the game. And especially Harry Potter where a lot of kids will be playing this game.
10/10 Best visualization of corporate greed since Shadow of War's hand-wringing shopkeep.
You've gon full SJW now yong....
YongYea I do definitely agree I mean the other games that I've played are not any better but at least they allow you to complete the mission before they start nickeling and diming you but this Harry Potter game was great in the midst of a campaign that they wanted to charge you money just to complete the mission. And they're using the Harry Potter brand to basically a dipped kids to pay money to be able to complete missions art even play the game.
You forgot to mention that each mission is on a timer, so if you don't finish the mission before the timer runs out, it resets, so then you have to start the entire mission over. For example, the one you feature here has an 8 hour timer, so if you don't play again for 8 hours, you have to redo it, and reuse the energy again, putting you right back into the stranglehold of the buy-to-continue circle of hate.

Aaah, what a classic moment from the Philosopher's Stone!
I love those scenes of Harry running around asking Dumbledore to borrow his credit card so he could afford to smile. That was a great arc in Prisoner of Azkaban.

Niceeeee
Oooo.. Nice one there.
Still free to play. Guessing you idiots never played mobile games like this. Quite a lot of games have an energy system for your actions. You're just s bunch of whiney bitches.
You forgot the fact that you have a maximum amount of time where you have to spend the energy. If you take too long the event fails and you have to start again.
My girlfriend played it and could literally not overcome some events because she had to work and could obviously not log into the game every 30 minutes or so to spend the energy before it capped. Leading to an impassable wall at some point without real money transactions.
This. Once I reached once of these, i stopped playing the game altogether.
I wondered what that timer was at the top.
That's disguisting!
This absolutely proves without a doubt that this isn't a game, but simply a themed money making scam.
I can only hope that some law is passed to punish devs that create these type of rip offs.
I'm so sorry that this has happened to her....and indeed to anyone!
@Ryan Yarnevich So you prefer to stay like this or even worse? Ok whale
kharmachaos667 yes same reason I stopped playing. Few days ago I accidentally It again. After much reluctance, I played it. Well they have made it better than before. But there still 3 hour waiting time to unlock next missions.

We should start calling the unethical use of microtransactions “the devil’s snare.”
Yep, this is canon now.
I am on board with the idea. It is appropriate enough to one day be a trope namer.
These greedy corporate parasites who influence developers to put predatory MTX in their games, coincidentally also hate sunlight exposing their shady and unethical business practices, just like devils snare.
I wasted 100 energy laughing at this, now i'm all out, and I can't continue.

Not to mention that fact that relaxing and doing nothing is how you actually escape the devil's snare.
Zambletons true Harry Potter fan right here
My gosh Tiffany you're such a fucking nerd.
Zambletons Actually, you need fire or some kind of light for them to release you. Though the more you struggle the harder they will hold on to you, that's why you need to relax.

James Siggss, someone's watched the movies.
It has 4,4 stars on the appstore. The reviews all say "Why are you all complaining about this being a "cashgrab" game? You just have to wait a little. Don't be so impatient."...

You have to wait an hour to complete a lesson which otherwise should take 2 minutes

So true 😂
they are all game devs with alts.
Let me get this straight..the entire game is based on whatever you do requires energy? If that were the case, Harry Potter must’ve been loaded with gems.
He was loaded with gold galleons in the films . . .
Youseph Karouni In the books too
whoops I ran out of energy cause I looked at somebody
Yes of course, that is indeed quite a exercise
eugh thats how i got all this muscle

Looks like you've ran out of energy! Energy recharges every 4 minutes. Wait for your energy to be recharged or buy now!

Not struggle

You know what's funny? You escape the Devil's Snare by not moving, and yet the game forces you to struggle in order to save yourself. It's not only a shitty practice, but also artificially inserted in a lore-breaking scenario.
Keep in mind that I never played this and don't intend to, so if there is an actual logic reason behind that, please, tell someone that cares because I sure as hell don't. It's shitty either way.
Lab Matt *insert edgy insult towards bronies here"
Lab Matt It’s a subspecies (Banker’s Snare). You have to bribe it to leave you alone.
In the book, it was light that freed you. The movie changed it.
No, you're just expending energy to relax so you escape the Devil's Snare.

worst part is, if you're not careful with your tapping, the moment you're out of energy mid-action, you will hit the "spend gems" button immediatly, which have NO confirmation screen, so you either tap slow and careful or spend gems accidentaly. That can NOT be accidental.
BREAKING NEWS...
This is by design of course. Dont think it just coincidentally pops up right where you would normally tap
Shame on them
Learn to control your tapping urges.:D
you have your bank card registred without a pin/fingerprint block before making a transaction.

Harry Potter and the Microtransactions of Azkaban.
You know, when I saw this game I was really excited, I thought I would be able to choose my path and feel like a true Hogwarts student. Screw that, said Warner Brothers and they made you watch your own character getting asphixiated because you dont have enough freaking energy to do anything. Well the thing is, every single action you do costs energy which you only have 24 of at the start of the game which is a ridiculously low amount knowing that the game makes you spend energy in things like TAKING A BREAK. I really thought game companies had learned about the topic of making gamers spend money after the disaster that was Star Wars Battlefront 2 but no, it looks as if they keep on doing the same scummy things they did before. Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery will in my opinion go down as one of THE WORST if not the single worst mobile game in the history of games and I know some people will say that almost every mobile game is like that and that is true but the thing is that when you mess with a franchise as big as Harry Potter or Star Wars or anything with enourmous fanbases as is with those two, doing something like that can really maje the franchise look bad and make the fans unhappy so WB I hope you learn about this mistake and make your next game much better than this piece of crap.
I think you're forgetting the best part of this: The Devil's Snare only lets go of you if you "stop" struggling in the movie/book. You're not supposed to struggle against it, because that makes it grab you tighter. They changed to lore just to strangle money out of you.

EA would look at this image of a child being strangled and forced to pay up real money to get out of the devil's snares, and would look you in the eyes and say "the child is clearly having fun!"

"You see, that's what pride and accomplishment looks like!"
sexhaie or sexhale or sexhey or whatever Well, let's leave Ea out of this for now, WBGames are the douches here, and they need to get some backlash too, for what they did to Mortal Kombat X, Injustice 2, Shadow of War and now harry Potter! I HATE WBGAMES - Heck WB in general. after what they did to my favorite franchise, i hate them
for those who don't get the context, EA and ESRB had the audacity to defend that Loot boxes are "fun."
though i'm sure everyone here knows that but still lol
Mortal Kombat X wasn’t THAT bad. Sure, buying easy fatalities and fight skips was dumb, but you never actually NEEDED them. Hell, I haven’t used any of them. There was never a need.

The irony that Warner brother Games are now on Origin. Maybe this was one of the requirements for WB to be EA-worthy and get approved for Origin.
You do know that WB were the ones that put out Middle Earth Shadow of War, right? The game that basically fucked over its predecessor's signature mechanic, the nemesis system where orcs would remember past encounters with the player, to have a sleazy orc merchant sell them to the player as loot crates.
I hope WB feels good that Roger, the youthful Gryffindor pleb was murdered slowly by asphyxiation because of them. RIP Roger, I’ll always remember him as he was born on my iPad and the precious 30 minutes I spent with him.
Games4Kickz This wouldn't be unsurprising. EA did publish the non-Lego Harry Potter games.
@DetectiveBarricade The lootcrates barely gave you an advantage (you can make better orcs just by grinding), weapon drops are crap, and it doesn't make the end grind any faster (the end grind is boring anyway.)
Besides they removed them once they learned no one was buying their gold, as you made enough of the earned currency to buy the crates without having to pay a cent. Monolith removed the crates, and not WB by the way.

well, there's star wars galaxy of heroes, but the devs actually like star wars and made it really fun to play
except for fate grand order.
There is a good mobile strategy game called Galaxy Heroes. I played it a year ago but left because the energy system. A week ago I got it back to see if anything haf changed. It had! It now has only a vestigial energy system, you gain energy way faster than you use it. The max energy is 80, but after a week of playing the game I have 3746 energy! Playing a mission in the campaign costs six energy. And multiplayer now costs none.
My point is games with energy systems can be saved.

Don't forget there's a timer for the full activity as well. If you don't perform the activity in full it resets, so you get halfway but because you need to wait for energy you forget about the game, the next day you're back at the start of the activity and you have to do it all over again.
Holy shit that's so fucking stupid
Adriaan Sluijs I'd just uninstall the "game" and be done with it. But that's me though.
"But that's me though."
*BUT THAT'S EVERYBODY THOUGH.*
Adriaan Sluijs YES. This is one of the main reasons I just stopped playing.
Adriaan Sluijs you are fully capable of finishing anything within the time limit given you don’t start with 0 energy,
I'd rather pay $30-60 one time for a game that is decent than play a "free" game for hours and get nothing from it
who wouldn't?
I agree, but a lot of the games you pay to play have DLC and microtransactions creeping in. What's worse than a cash grabby free game? A cash grabby game that you paid full price for.
+random stuff not the games I play that are $30-$60
(more specifically factorio and other indie games)
Get god of war
sophie m That's been my experience as well. I used to play F2P, but lately I've been dumping out my mobile's library in favor of paid games, 'cause eff this BS.
It's been 84 since I was able to attend transfiguration class
to think this is probably the first ever yong video i've ever watched
that is epic
This is pretty messed up tbh. Could you imagine a kid playing this game and seeing their character getting strangled only to feel helpless, probably panic, and ask their parents for money? Christ, pay to win is always egregious, but for a kid especially, this is mercilessly predatory.
Captain Casual I find thst pertty funny actually. "What the hell are you playing, son?!"
A child panicking over that is probably stupid
I was a really dumb kid and I wouldn't have freaked out over an in game avatar.
Like the kid would have to be so sheltered that would never have watched tv, been on the internet, seen a movie, or played any other game ever, AND had a mental disability to be truly disturbed by this game.
Kids really aren't that dumb. And once again I was a really, really dumb kid.
I completely agree this is redicilous!! What does tbh mean though??
Jake Drake To be honest..
Also it's not an RPG. It's barely a game. You just click on things, and wait timers. This is not an RPG. Would it be so hard to release a proper Harry Potter RPG starring our own character for the PC/consoles? Probably not, but then they can't put this energy shit into it.
It's more like a visual novel.
I didn't have all this issue y'all are talking about because I've only ever played mobile games and I'm used to this kind of waiting. If they didn't put a timer on it, just imagine how many people would throw it aside after completion. They should probably just put up a paid version with unlimited energy instead of the scam free-to-play. That way they still earn the money and avoid any sort of backlash.
+Sora Jack Yeah
Remember all the time spent waiting in games like Temple Rush, Doodle Jump, Jetpack Joyride, etc.?
OH WAIT
If i remembered it correctly there’s a game years before this similar to what you’re looking for. Visual novel, dueling, potion making, wand-flicking, it has it all. PlayStation did a pretty good job on it.
Sora Jack
I think that is the core of the problem.
Many people playing on their phones don't know anything but the "clash of clans" - "farmville" - kind of game.
Has everyone forgotten that the "Devil's Snare" is a plant that attacks what it has restricted in it's roots and struggling about which in turn encourages the plant to strangle more, and to get out it's restrictive grind you either stop moving to trick it into thinking your dead or use a spell emitted a bright powerful light. So the entire fight with the Devil's snare is entirely in reverse that thing should be running from the player's avatar
I actually didn't feel guilt when i downloaded a hacked version for this
Me neither I did it like a year ago and I got to year 3 and forgot the game existed
Holy shit, I miss when games where about creating an unique experience. About the power of interactive art. Im sorry but most publishers and corporations ruin games and art.
Woken One Games are still about art, you're just looking in the wrong places. Games released under larger publishers generally lack soul because the design process is industrialized, but there are large numbers of smaller developers that are dedicated to creating immersive, interactive experiences. The biggest shackles that hold the industry back are publishers that exploit both the developers and consumers for profit. Even people who work for the most insidious of companies like EA want to make a good game that people enjoy.
Archagent Everlasting
From the release of the NES until the start of the PS3, 360, Wii era.
JackOfen yes I'm sure all those games from the Ness era makes any game in this generation crap, I just can't believe I never knew that all this time every game I've played has been nothing but a cash grab, and that no developers make actual games
boomboy b
Trying to be sarcastic? Look, I just named the golden age of gaming. That doesn't mean that all games today are corporate, soulless cashgrabs. But the PS3, 360, Wii era was the start of microtransactions, dlcs, unfinished games being released, content that was on the disc but was locked and much MUCH more corporate meddling. Of course you have no idea of the difference, because you never lived it. To you it has become the normal state because thats how you grew up with it and thats terrifying how companies can get away with shit like that
Oh and btw, there are TONS of NES, SNES, Mega Drive, PS1, PS2, N64 and Gamecube games that are FAR superior in gameplay and originality then what is called AAA today.
Archagent Everlasting how much shovelware is actually popular? Not so much so.
It's more about how beloved franchises are turned into cash generators
Imagine playing a game where you can only die 3 times, then you have to pay a microtransaction before you lose ALL your progress. To make matters seem more urgent, it literally gives you a 10 second countdown timer to pay.
Like an arcade cabinet.
looksintolasers STOP, greedy game developers might read your comment
Don't give konami any ideas.
USS Prinz Eugen Congratulations you got the joke
At least it had gameplay
Now imagine hearing your kid “I need gems, I’m stuck, I don’t want to wait, it’s only 5 dollars, please can you buy me gems? Please please please”
Until you break and just buy it for them instead of dealing with 20 minutes of brain melting begging
It appears they've foregone any precept of a game and just packaged a paywall skinned over with Harry Potter imagery. Magnificent.
When I heard this game, I expected nothing, and I'm still dissapointed.
It's a metaphor for EA and it's customers.
Dr . Wub Yikes...
The scary thing? Even EA put out better Harry Potter games than this.
Dr . Wub except its warner brothers and they are equally as scummy, as seen here
*its
or rather, *their
its*
Good thing I got an internship last January because my last year's latter months were wasted on this game. I was a slump and got my sleeping schedule fucked up wanting to not miss the next energy reload.
Oh, I knew it's a trap but I just couldn't force myself to get out because I thought every minute I could be using those sweet ol energies for my next classes.
It seriously felt like heroin.
