★★★★★ "Junk. First chapter good. Once you get into the second chapter, the difficulty ramps up into impossible. Battles are ridiculously hard and upgrades are unbelievably expensive. Everything kills you in one shot. It’s a shame devs choose this route.…" - MaximusCrowe

At least be honest…
Someone else already said it in their review, “Just go play Battleheart.” The gameplay is fun, but it is a freemium p2w game given a $0.26 price tag to trap the few gamers who avoid free games and marginally buffer those pockets even from those who manage to avoid the p2w pit traps. Dishonest, predatory, like so many other “free” games…hahah and it’s not free! I tried to refund this offense to ethicality even though 26 cents can barely buy a piece of gum anymore…App Store will not refund it: Carefully consider what this means about their business model.
Junk
First chapter good. Once you get into the second chapter, the difficulty ramps up into impossible. Battles are ridiculously hard and upgrades are unbelievably expensive. Everything kills you in one shot. It’s a shame devs choose this route. Could have been a really good game.
Cmon man
It keeps on crashing and it’s really getting annoying
Crash with this simple graphic
Very bad game, I play better game with better graphics and never crash but this game can’t pass the tutorial and crash 💥.
Promising though has major balance issues
UPDATE: I have played this game since release. There’s a number of serious balance issues while the core gameplay is fun, lack of balance and quality of life features make upgrading gear extremely tedious make this not a game I could recommend. However, there is no pity system and gacha mechanics are hidden. The devs only admitted to some of it when I messaged them personally on Discord. This seems to be a very shady company. Please avoid this game.
Junk game
You can’t get on if you buy a pass.Don’t waste it here,everyone.
This game doesn't work.
After the first mission, the game won't go any further.
Won’t load
Haven’t been able to play the game. It will load to the title screen then when you touch the screen to start the game it crashes. If I ever get to play I will change my review. I’m on an iPad 6th gen running iOS 16.3. I get to the catastrophe screen then on the next one looks like it’ll load game then it kicks me from the game. Hope it can be fixed really want to try the game.
Another decent game idea ruined by gamification
Could have been good. Instead it’s the same old quest-grinding, chest-grinding loot chase full of the same old gamification features we’ve all seen a million times.
They’re not really games anymore. They’re just a fancy waste of time.

Hard difficulty Replay Mode
Can’t figure out how to switch to hard difficulty in replay mode. Your discord link doesn’t work. Not sure why it’s so difficult to figure out and why there’s no information or if the “easy” button just doesn’t work to switch, unclear. Was enjoying it until this frustrating issue that I can’t find an answer to anywhere and have to post a review.
just play battleheart
please just play battleheart instead
