YMMV / South Park: Phone Destroyer

Go To

  • Awesome Art: Despite any and all flaws the game may have, the artwork for all the cards and loading screens are very impressive and detailed.
  • Catharsis Factor: Players will be able to beat up characters that they hate, including the biggest karma houdinis like Cartman, Randy, Shelly, Sheila and ManBearPig.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Of all of Craig's card alter-egos, Youth Pastor Craig seems to be the most popular and has spawned the most fan art.
    • Imp Tweek is also the most popular Tweek alter-ego, mostly because he and Youth Pastor Craig complement each other (Creek-themed events even use anime-styled artwork as a backdrop).
  • Game-Breaker: Now has its own page.
  • High-Tier Scrappy: Every single Bradley card is absolutely despised due to the huge boost they grant allies on the battlefield, with Frontier Bradley (Increases the attack of all ally fighters and grants them the ability to inflict area damage) and Elven King Bradley (Increases the range and attack power of rangers) being particularly hated because of the sheer annoyance dealing with them supposes. Space Pilot Bradley's old ability to speed up assassins and make them freeze enemies upon being spawned was such a nightmare to get around to that the former ability was removed in an update.
  • I Knew It!: Fans assumed for a while that if a fifth theme was ever added, it would be a superhero theme based on the characters' canon superhero personas. This is because the fantasy deck was based off the fantasy characters from South Park: The Stick of Truth, so it would only make sense to include the superhero characters from that game's sequel. Once the game began adding Bradley cards to the existing decks, it became obvious that the superhero theme was coming since Bradley's only significant role in the franchise is as his Mint-Berry Crunch superhero persona. Sure enough, a superhero deck was added in the middle of 2019.
  • Low-Tier Letdown You'll rarely see anyone using Shaman Tolkien in PvP battles. His attack speed is deemed mediocre and his charge ability to purify all negative status effects is seen as useless due to the time it takes to charge and because Purify is just a better option.
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Space Pilot Bradley's old ability was a nightmare to get around: not only did he speed up all assassin allies (which usually have a powerful attack and low energy cost) on the battlefield, but deploying the assassin cards froze any enemies near them, meaning you can't knock them down as easily as you usually could. He was commonly paired with cards that spawned assassins, mostly Gizmo Ike. He was even listed on the wiki as one of the most hated cards by those who don't play him. The devs even acknowledged that he was "annoying to play against," leading to nerfs to his health and the freeze ability. The ability to speed assassins was eventually removed completely, resulting in most of the ire dying down and him being regarded as more of a mediocre card at worst.
  • That One Boss: Grand Wizard Cartman boss fight has a boatload of health to defeat compared to other theme-boss characters. Cartman can summon units without energy limitations, especially The Amazingly Randy and Dwarf Engineer Dougie. What's worse is that you have to fight him four times it gets even worse when you reach Stage 60 which he was accompanied by two Rune Totems to make him invincible until you destroy it.
  • That One Level: The Amazingly Randy's level has you fight through a MASSIVE Zerg Rush of cocks that can overwhelm your team's units very easily, and there are two lightningbolt casters placed alongside Randy himself when you reach him, fight him too slowly, and they can destroy the new kid's health in seconds.
  • The Producer Thinks of Everything: Following the release of Season 25's "The Big Fix", the game was updated so that Token's name would be spelled as "Tolkien", just as the rest of the other online South Park material was.
  • Scrappy Mechanic: On a particularly crowded battlefield, there's also no real way to ensure who your characters attack unless they're a headhunter, and often they'll end up attacking the most recently placed opponent on the field. This is worse with randomized attacks. This can foil a game plan if you, for example, intend to use Hercules Clyde against a charging opponent to stop their charge, and he instead goes and attacks an opponent who doesn't charge.
