★★★★ Paul Mourer 3/10/2026 v2.0.14
I agree that there's something missing. it's seemingly complex enough to be an rpg, but in a casual style with not enough information or guidance to be an idler. Any information you want to really engage and build well is hidden and unexplained. I am blown away this is so popular, guess I missed whatever it is.

★★★★ Callum 2/24/2026 v2.0.13
This is a weird game, it's not an idle game, but it is in no way engaging after the first 20mins of a run. However runs last hours at time and and you very rarely have to make an interesting decisions or choices and then eventually you hit a cap were it's just the same things every battle with no choices at all. Then you have an absolutely awful UI stuffed with so much info but there's no explanation of what any of the stats or words mean.
★★★★ AtomicElbow 2/22/2026
Automated, watch number go up, non playing game. I need to actually do something.
★★★★ Daniel Wheeler 2/21/2026 v2.0.13
This game could be fun but it needs to be optimized in a bad bad way. The font is tiny, nothing is easy to click on. The tutorial tells you very little. I feel like this could be 5 stars if yall just finished it and made it phone friendly. Now this would probably be fun on a bigger screen or tabelt but it sucks on phones. i would have refuned if I hadn't waited so late. 1 star just because it's a game.
★★★★ Lion Heart 2/5/2026 v1.21.24
Game is nice (saw it from a youtuber) but starting a battle crashes my phone completely.
★★★★ mellowtime223 1/29/2026
can't refund even tho I played for about a minute
★★★★ Mike Manzella 1/23/2026 v1.21.21
Every time I start a fight on my pixel 10 it just goes white screen. Hopefully this gets fixed soon!
★★★★★ Anthony Nichols 3/11/2026 v2.0.14
game might be fun, but the UI is too small and has bad contrast.
★★★★★ Johnath Carmichael 2/22/2026
Just a grind. not real skill required. Just a grind of a game that is a time suck with no real skill involved. Dont get fooled.
★★★★★ Jay Robertson 2/11/2026
It's genuinely such a boring game, I expected something like Loop Hero but it just felt like I was playing an idle game. Gutted that I paid money for it, deciding within a couple hours of playing that the game was just overly repetitive grinding for no pay off. Would love for an option to refund me the money
★★★★★ Nathaniel McCann 2/7/2026
Awful interface, a couple decent ideas
★★★★★ Anthony Atkinson 1/30/2026 v1.21.23
its boring but well made
★★★★★ J Getty 1/28/2026 v1.21.23
Bit disappointed in the game. Runs feel very "two sides smashing into each other" rather than highly strategic. Lots of annoying busywork between runs too. The rune system is mind bogglingly poorly designed for mobile. Nothing makes any sense and even on my foldable, it's difficult to bring up tooltips.
★★★★★ Jeremiah Wise 1/26/2026 v1.21.21
This game is a repetitive and boring slog through what feels like the same thing over and over. Loot is uninteresting. Combat is deeply lacking, it feels like Patapon devoid of any control or anything else inspired. Gameplay will leave you asking "is this really it?" for hours. It boggles the mind that this is being sold, and not considered early access. The highest praise I can give this game is that I almost enjoyed myself for a few moments.
