★★★★ Jackson Jr. Sotingco 6/8/2026 v1.0.10
For a game that works a lot better with the a controller. Controllers don't work in this port AT ALL.
★★★★ Lukáš 5/27/2026
Game is not working with gamesir x5s controller.
★★★★ Feng LIU 5/13/2026 v1.0.10
This game still has bugs. Spirit King keeps idle right after another legendary item is picked. The trail that adds one more life, does not work as well. Consider to change the rate after bugs are fixed.
★★★★ James Smith 5/12/2026 v1.0.10
don't play
★★★★ Zombie Zomb 5/2/2026 v1.0.10
mobile game apps could be awesome if devs didn't forget or intentionally not have settings available. funny thing is there is controller support, but no option to move the GIANT skill button. Also who plays like that anyway with the skill button just blocking the important part of the screen? refunded.

👎🏼👎🏼
★★★★ Patchy King 2/10/2026 v1.0.10
Really boring and below average in every conceivable way. The controls make you wish you never started playing games. the graphics if you can call them that are characters with like three frames of animation. Non existent story to go along with the non existent fun. Do yourself a favor and make sure it doesn't wind up existing on your phone or whatever you play Google play trash on.

controllers doesnt work. gulikit kingkong 2
★★★★ David Gilbert-Zagiri 1/17/2026 v1.0.10

★★★★★ Indra Wijaya 5/27/2026 v1.0.10
the game is hard
★★★★★ Ayano Inuzuka 5/15/2026 v1.0.10
I love the game but it's not possible to customize the UI button size, which makes clicking the right button hard
★★★★★ Artic Wulf 4/24/2026
No visiblity on the expansion pack? too bad my review will be dropping as well..please understand
★★★★★ Ethan Mesecher 4/1/2026 v1.0.10
This is a good port and there's some nice pixel art in this game, the problem is it's painfully boring. It's basically a series of rooms full of enemies and the occasional boss fight. There's good variety in the skulls and items, but nothing really worth the grind of doing a bad run for, and if a roguelike is only fun when the drops are good, it's not a good roguelike .
★★★★★ Gowtham T 3/18/2026 v1.0.10
It's a good game, but this game needs optimization, there is a minimal lags after 2-3 levels but levels after 1-3 boss battle it's lags and freezes that game stops when I was fighting more enemies at once. I wish it's as good as PC version.
★★★★★ Giulio BB 3/13/2026 v1.0.10
GameSir Nova Lite doesn't work. Honor Pad 10
★★★★★ Hassan Mahmud 2/28/2026 v1.0.10
was hoping for an exciting game given the ratings etc. but pretty disappointed - the default ranged weapon/magic are weak/pretty useless, the physical attacks are limited which means that you have to play very defensively. Also you get no weapon selection for a given skull and the skulls at least early on the game are pretty useless and pathetic which means I generally stick to the default skull. give people some hook other than masochism to stick with the game - jeez...
★★★★★ Reroll Sama 2/18/2026 v1.0.10
no controller support makes it a pretty difficult to play port 😕
★★★★★ Adam Adolph 1/15/2026 v1.0.10
Pretty boring action platformer. Plays like a crappier and barebones version of Dead Cells.
★★★★★ Rangga Yudhistira Pratama 1/11/2026 v1.0.10
CAN YOU MAKE THE CHARACTER ALWAYS CENTERED? I CANT SEE MY CHARACTER IF HE IS ON EDGE OF BOTTOM CORNER SCREEN. HE IS COVERED BY MY FINGER. IT IS BAD UX TBH. FOLLOW DEADCELL, THE CHARACTER ALWAYS CENTERED.
