Game Review: Christmas Master 3D (Mobile – Free to Play)

It’s the worst of two worlds. The free to play mobile market and Christmas gaming. Neither tends to put up memorable and quality gaming experiences. Christmas Master 3D is neither memorable nor quality. In fact, as far as the ‘mini game/jobs’ free to play experience goes, it might be one of the laziest.

From developer Maysalward UK, Christmas Master 3D tasks you with making this Christmas the best it can possibly be. Complete jobs at the North Pole and help decorate the Elf house.

Why is it one of the laziest? Simply because of the lack of variety in jobs. Normally, these types of game have as many as twenty different menial and simple jobs/mini games for you to take part in. Christmas Master 3D has seven. That’s a grand total of seven mini games/jobs before they start repeating. Several of which are just continuations of the previous one.

Bake cookies, top them with icing and add some sprinkles. Pour a glass of milk. Dip a cookie in the milk and eat it. Add the right presents to packages. Fill those gift boxes with packing stuffing. Close, wrap the box and add a bow. Then deliver presents to houses.

It’s incredibly uninspired and lazy. Not helped by the very light decorative aspect of the game. Where you spend earned coins on festive items for a cabin. Items that cost way too much to make it fulfilling. You’re going to have to spend a lot of time with Christmas Master 3D to unlock all items and you’re going to have to put up with a lot of ads, as many items are behind ad walls.

It should come as no surprise that Christmas Master 3D is an egregious example of ad spam but it feels so much more disgusting when you consider how light on content it is.

Does it feel festive? Kind of. It’s bright and colourful but it’s not a pretty looking game. Everything about it feels cheap and low quality. Maybe that’s the festive spirit they wanted to portray?
