★★★★ Morty Fluff (Morty) 11/6/2025 v1.0.3

★★★★ Lester Cardejon 9/2/2025 v1.0.4
game crashes after using mallet in rabbite
★★★★ Syed Alwi 8/28/2025
Seems like everyone is complaining about minor mallet crash after new update. Hurry up & fix it!
★★★★ Charlie knoll 8/26/2025 v1.0.4
Great game that I can't play. When using the Minor Mallet in Rabbite Forest it force closes after the cut scene every time. I'm going to need my money back, I paid for a full game, not this.
★★★★ Ridwan Firdaus 8/25/2025 v1.0.4
After updated, it is unplayable. Always force close!
★★★★ Christian Bethancourt 8/20/2025 v1.0.3
Crashes when loading saved games.
★★★★ William Baker 8/14/2025 v1.0.3
something to keep in mind: Android dropped 32bit support on the S24 line of phones and onwards. So things like the Attack Warnings do not show up and youre forced to use animations as tells. which while managing terrible AI isn't simple. this will stay at 1 star until there is a compatibility patch
★★★★ Lu “Nero” 8/8/2025 v1.0.3
No controller support. 2025 and an action rpg with no controller support is unacceptable, specially when it's a paid game and f2p gachas out there come out with this sort of support, this is a huge let down.
★★★★ An 7/14/2025 v1.0.3
SEVERELY NEEDS CONTROLLER SUPPORT.
★★★★ Alex Morrow 6/30/2025 v1.0.3
No controller support means refunded
★★★★ AlSt Bond 6/14/2025 v1.0.2
controller support please!
★★★★ Greg Reader 6/8/2025 v1.0.3
Update: The game now crashes when trying to load any save game.
★★★★ Kaijuking 2/16/2025 v1.0.3
Controller support please
★★★★ James Wilkinson Jr. 12/21/2024 v1.0.3
No controller support still is frustrating
★★★★ Hiroyuki Soriano 11/19/2024 v1.0.3
The element of game is there, like any other Mana series I've played. I just want to suggest to add controller support for Backbone controllers or any type of controller on this like Secret of Mana and Legend of Mana, as buttons are somehow narrow for a big hand like mine. The rest everything looks fine. I will change my rating to 5 once fixed.
★★★★ Dylan Warde 7/31/2024 v1.0.3
Locked 30fps. Unplayable.
★★★★ david hackett 7/8/2024 v1.0.3

★★★★ John Carlo Sunga 6/14/2024 v1.0.3

★★★★★ Richard Arenas 3/22/2026 v1.0.4
Low FPS
★★★★★ Mike Z 11/3/2025
Ever since updated game freezes and closes in the forest boss (I forget which one). Tried different ways to avoid it but gave up after 10 tries. loved it so much and so much replying
★★★★★ Wilson Tang 9/5/2025 v1.0.4
The controller support in the latest update is a welcome addition for tablet users, but the low resolution still makes it unenjoyable to play on a large-screen device. I hope that the developer will provide more updates to improve resolution and graphic quality, and unlock the framerate from 30 fps.
★★★★★ Rasheed Rashid 8/28/2025 v1.0.4
the app closes automatically closes on chapter 2
★★★★★ Rozar Prawiranegara 5/3/2025 v1.0.3
