If Ulala and Gogomuffin were MORE P2W
This is what you would get.
TL;DR The fact that the mechanics and features aren’t interesting or engaging, combined with the huge P2W gap, lack of diverse content, etc. make this not a game and more of a money waster/ego booster for people who pay to be on the leaderboard.
I pay for games and I also pay for micro-transactions in games regularly, but this is not a game I will ever spend on, and probably won’t keep playing.
P2W GAP:
Day 3 of server open, #1 is 7.5x stronger than anyone F2P (1.5mil vs 200k). This is just going to get bigger, any PVP content will be worthless in the future. Events are also so far P2W or involve gambling.
Features/Mechanics:
Combat is not interesting, you can’t actively cast any skills - your hero casts them for you.
The “fantamon” are not even cute and there’s nothing worthwhile about them that would make me want to choose one or the other except for their stats. They don’t have backstory or anything of interest. You have to type-match your equipped fantamon to the boss, which isn’t difficult but highly tedious for an idle-game.
No Diverse Content
- I know the game just came out, but I feel like there should be more content. Not all players want to waste their money to be on the leaderboards and would enjoy other kinds of content. I remember Gogomuffin had a lot of cosmetics and UI that encouraged player interaction. This game has very little cosmetics which are all behind paywalls from my experience.
- The latest event uses AI art, which was the last straw and why I wrote this review. PAY AN ARTIST.
This game is clearly just a quick buck for the developer. Hopefully they make improvements in the future!

Bad gambling mechanics
There is a "blessing system" that is just gambling, though it's completely busted in it's current form. The rates of success are also fake (confirmed by the significant community testing), which violates laws in multiple countries, including mine. No idea why the devs are being so stubborn about that. It's going to kill the game, no matter how many new servers the devs squeeze out.
This one has potential, too.

Scam
This game is very money grabbing a lie about there percentage on things and don’t tell you if what you gonna get is limited so you waste the money
Cash grab
The devs only care for making money instead of making a good product. If the game is good people will spend more money. Blessing mechanic is so unfair for the players and is just a cash grab.
Bad experience
I had a really frustrating experience with this game. The customer service is honestly terrible i reported an issue and never got any response. I even tried reaching out on Discord and still nothing. It feels like they completely ignore their players. Overall, the lack of support made the whole experience much worse. Definitely disappointing.
Money pit
First off, great game. Almost exact copy of Ulala. I’m hopeful it will be better in the long run. Great graphics and artwork. Unfortunately the Developer Greed is Real. I’m p2w, by day 2 i bought almost everything and was in the top 5. At this point you are competing with other p2w teams and you have to start learning the game, skills, tweaks etc to be the best. Makes sense. Day 3, finally the first event and wow, it’s slot gambling for high value gear that already replaces what you bought on day 1-2. The gear is powerful and full kit adds bonuses. People reporting $500 - $1000 easy. Didn’t buy, I’m now in top 30 lol, the top 5 teams are so ahead that you would need to drop at a minimum $500 just to keep your position. It’s still day 3. Sucks, I hope they give actual content not p2w events.
Update: if you are going to play anyway, wait until you see the blessing stone mechanic.

Most expensive game I’ve played
Stay away from!
Terrible
There’s literally nothing to do except to sit there and watch your character do everything for you. And your teammates can change all of your skills and any pet that you have equipped and relics. So you could set something up and it’s a perfect set up and your teammate can go in and change everything. And this game is so extremely paid to win that it’s not even funny. You literally can’t even progress unless you spend money. You will get stuck in a team full of clones because nobody wants you on their team because you’re free to play and the clones don’t do any damage so you’re sitting there on the same stage for days. If you have any ounce of respect for yourself, don’t download this game.
Designed to drain your wallet!
This game could be great. The social aspect is fun, and I’ve enjoyed running content with my guild. But the monetization completely ruins it.
The blessing stone system is one of the most predatory mechanics I’ve ever seen in a game. You spend real money to buy stones to upgrade your gear, and when the upgrade fails, you lose everything and your progress gets reset. All that money is just gone.
Yes, there’s a pity system where repeated failures eventually guarantee success. That doesn’t make this better. It just means the game is designed to drain as much money as possible before finally letting you succeed.
This isn’t rewarding progression. It’s manipulation. You are literally paying to be punished.
I’ve spent a lot on this game, so this isn’t coming from someone who refuses to support developers. This is coming from someone who did support them and now feels completely taken advantage of.
The greed here is on another level. Unless this system changes, I cannot recommend this game to anyone.

Incredibly p2w game, trying to bless things will make you wanna quit
You can dump hundreds into your account and still barely get anywhere. As for the blessing stones, the success rates are absolutely inaccurate. You can fail on a 80-90% chance like 10 times in a row, use up all of the resources you paid for, and still end up way worse off then when you started with no limit to how many blessings you can lose
Poor design
Gears enhancement failed 4-5 grades with just 1 click… at higher grades it takes $200 worth of materials just to get back to the level but one click away you are back to the start. Imagine a grade 15 item trying to go to grade 16 but you forever stuck trying to breakthrough and get it back to grade 14-15 and you top up hundreds just trying to get it to the same grade as before; but wait a minute you’ve got a whole set of equipment to breakthrough…whoever designed this enhancement system… has done a great job. Enjoy gaming I am out. Peace~
Can’t even delete a character to try a new one.
That’s enough for instant removal of the game and no need to try it any further. If I can’t control the characters in my account, I don’t want to play it.
Why
Don’t understand the point of there being 4 characters if you only upgrade one.
Install issue
Game wont even install properly
It’s ok
Just like the title says. It’s just ok. Progression is slow. Which is fine. But there’s just nothing to do. I think it could be good, but it needs more content.

Empty
I feel like I’d rather avoid writing a bad review vs spending the time to write one. In this case, I feel compelled to tell people about this one. This game looks good. The art is nice and colorful, but once you get into the game it just feels empty. You have 4 characters. 1 is apparently your main, but you can’t do anything with the others. There doesn’t seem to be any sort of story. You just start the game in your group and you’re running with your 3 other characters. There’s no strategy or any sort of control. There’s not really any sort of tutorial. When you get an item, you can’t click on that item to see what it even does or what it’s for. The game is just poorly designed. I’m guessing that it was designed to attract you with the art style, thrown together and hoping you spend a little bit of money in their first offer before you realize how shallow the game is. I’ll give the game 2 stars purely for the artwork.
Trailers gave false impressions.. and There’s no gameplay
It’s basically you watching your team run through waves beating monsters. You have no engaging other than upgrading them. It’s boring, not strategic play, no tactical gameplay, just boring. Graphics are solid, I’ll give that. The trailer and teases gave false impression.
Simple and fun
Interesting game. Like go go muffin and ulala. Fresh game to give a shot and enjoy. Looking forward to more content
Hard pw2
Games graphics are pretty good. The problem is the amount of potential rewards or incentive as a f2p is pretty much non existent. Either spend money or get stuck on the levels few hours in.
Can’t start
Looks great, probably a good game but can’t get passed the loading screen says update failed and to try my connection again when I in fact have full bars
Won’t even open
Hi everyone! I was really looking forward to this game, but every time I try to play it says “update failed, please check connection” but my data works perfectly fine?? How do I fix? I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, have enough space on my phone, etc
