Doesn’t save progress
Twice now I’ve reached the end of a level to get my rewards, to find out the game didn’t save.
Absolutely infuriating.

Family sharing not available
I liked this game enough to purchase. Unfortunately this is not part of the Family Sharing that Apple heavily promotes. I’m not going to pay $12 for this app 5 times so my family can play it.
Misleading
You have to buy the game after you download it for free
Odd knockoff to charge money
There are free versions of this game on the App Store. I’m confused why this game is for sale. The free versions are even better.
Needs to be free with the full version
I think this game needs to free all way. The game play is so good that my dad started playing it. I think the developer is greedy just to get money and do update to the game.the sucks if it’s not free for the full version.
Great game but
If you delete the app, it resets all your progress.
Can’t buy
12 dollars
Misleading
Labeled as free but isn’t
Terrible tutorial/instructions
I think I’d like this game but the trial/tutorial sucks. Maybe everyone in the world but me, innately knows how to play this game. I am just glad I didn’t pay $10 for a game with essentially no instructions/tutorial.
Crazy price
12.99 is crazy high when similar games are out.
Game is not Free. Its costs $13
They dont make you buy the game until after its downloaded
Can’t Pass 1st Level
I paid for the game but there is some glitch that when I start the melee units never stop coming and I am stuck.
不好
必须要钱才能玩
Misleading
I thought I would download this game as it looked pretty cool and was free to download.
Finally got it loaded up, and immediately hit with a $12.99 paywall to play the full game. Just make the app $12.99 and have it come with the full game at that point. Disappointed.

Не могу пройти дальше!
При прохождение локации штурмкламм, прлучаю новую способность героя и экран просто виснет не дает пройти дальше.
Garbage
Double garbage
not freeeeeeee
this game literally is free on the app store but the moment you open it once downloaded, i gotta pay for it with $12 like genuinely wth?? twelve dollars?? no matter how good the game is, i dont get why anybody would pay that much for just a game
Not worth it
At first it seems like a cool game it’s kinda fun but after like three rounds it makes you pay 10 dollars for a game that will take less than a day or two to finish so at first I thought okay I’ll just replay the levels but after the fourth time it’s just so bad it’s not fun like maybe if it was 2 dollars that’s okay but you have to either be obsessed or committed to pay 10 dollars for that game cause those are some crazy prices.
Not free
You have to pay $12 to play this. Don’t bother
So much less than the sum of its parts
So many intriguing ingredients but the result is a flavorless, samey soup. The battles happen at a speed where the character doesn’t really have clear tactics or influence. Gets repetitive and blah very quickly.
Bait and switch
I tire of these games that only offer a trial run and then expect people to drop $10+ to access the full game. I get that the developers spend time and resources to make these games, but if the game costs money to play, just say it does. Otherwise run ads in the game like others do to make your money.
It’s mid
Minecraft is a WAY better game by looking at it. There’s NO hunger, no recourses to collect EXCEPT for coins. You can’t even craft. Plus, I think we’re WAY too overpowered in every way. It’s just one of those normal add games in Minecraft you can’t install mods too. And not just Minecraft, even in the racing game wreckfest is better and township, brawl stars, war robots, among, battle cats, grand mountain adventure 2. All of those games are better. Basically what I’m saying is DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME NO MATTER WHAT I suggest the the games that I stated earlier, and if you don’t like those games, then maybe geometry dash, and if not, then just doom scroll until you find some game that looks interesting.
It’s a trap
It says “try before you buy”, but does not once say this is just a trial where they try to get you to spend more money on a phone game than any phone game is worth. Two thumbs down 👎🏽 👎🏽
Rug pull
Have to buy the game after you install it. Rug pull.
Scam
Why say that the game is free then you download and it’s 12 bucks. Just tell the truth from the start and I would have considered buying.
have to buy it
could only play the demo for free. also there wasn't a partial screen mode which was hard to exit out of.
No option for windowed mode
Full screen is forced.
Paywall
I would’ve been fine paying for the game on the store but they pay wall it in the game
Money
Why does all the good games cost money
Price money
This game is way too expensive to play.
Not free
It looks really good but I’d appreciate if it was made clear it was $13 entire dollars before I install it
Wasted time
Don’t download it unless you plan to pay.
This seems like a good game
I started playing this game and loved it but then was told I had to pay 25$ to keep playing! It would easily be a 4 or 5 star game if I could play it but there is no way it is worth 25$
