Free Game locked behind pay wall
They trick you with the free tag in the App Store, then require you to pay for access to the game and only let you play a tutorial until you pay for it, less than 5 minutes of gameplay for that free tag
Game Issues
Paid 10$ and can’t even load the game. Same issue with the autosave overlay. Would do 5* otherwise it’s a fun game
Can’t Play - Auto Save issue
Would do 5 stars but can’t proceed.
Please fix. iPhone 16 Pro; iOS 26.5.
Takes a long time to load and when traversing the map the auto save translucent overlay prevents me from starting next level.

Deleted immediately
Don’t post it as a free game. Don’t give us something half ars for free.
They use bot reviews
The game is $10 to play after you download
Bait and Switch
Either charge for the game or make it free. I hate getting excited to play a game only to have access to a trial.
???
This is basically false advertising, you cant even play until you buy the game inside the game
Controls dont work on iPad with keyboard
I had to delete the game after 5 minutes because my iPad Pro with keyboard…the controls didn’t work. The app disabled touch screen because my device technically has a keyboard. But the keyboard did not work correctly. It assigned controls to keys that literally don’t exist on my keyboard (ALT) lol. What a joke. Let me play touch screen you jerks!
Price issue
Extremely overpriced tbh
Doesn’t save progress
Twice now I’ve reached the end of a level to get my rewards, to find out the game didn’t save.
Absolutely infuriating.
Absolutely infuriating.
Not a free game, just a trial
Cost 10$ to play the full game, better to just get it on pc and not waste your time on a mobile game. Tried trial and concept of game is trash on mobile.
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.
无尽模式不能重复打
辛辛苦苦打了一天，一不小心就没了。主要是后期怪太厉害了，谁能估计准？建议无尽模式每五关送一次重新挑战机会
Demo
Fun game but it’s a demo. Full version is 10 bucks if it was like 6 I’d buy it.
Money
Why does all the good games cost money
Price money
This game is way too expensive to play.
