Reminds me of Adventure Quest
Why even bother? You won't win!
The game follows a storyline yet gives you nothing in ways to progress the storyline. You need to defeat the demon king boss? Your weapon is underpowered you lose, fight a tournament? weapon is underpowered you lose, do literally any fight in a new area of this game? Your weapon is too underpowered you lose. How do you get a new weapon you might ask? Oh that's easy! It'll give you ONE weapon buff somewhere at the start of the new area, which will eventually be too underpowered to progress.. or through a shop in the main menu with sword that cost thousands of this gem currency which you can really only get by slowly leveling a dwarf over the course of a month or.. well you know! In app purchases! Pay-to-win content! The best part is it's LITERALLY the only way! The game locks any other possible way to progress the story in a way that feels satisfying, the slime potions are more money than you can possibly have or a dollar in real life currency.... I've tried stacking strength potions and still have lost fights. I cannot win because the game refuses to allow me any access to new weapons, pets, or anything to buff my strength stat other than.. you guessed it! In-app purchases!
In app purchases don’t work
Love the game only issue is the in app purchases aren’t purchasable lol
Jogo miserável
😤😤😢😢
I lost all my progress
Great game but one time I was playing infinite mode and it crashes(btw I was lvl 26) then when I rejoin I was set back to lvl 15 and with -43 coins when I used to I have 1000
Fun👍🏾
This game is so fun I enjoy it a lot
No updates
One tiny update takes at least 50 years *edit* 20 years later part 3 is still not out and its probably gonna be 40 minutes of game play Edit. It’s 2026 in feb. Still nothing games abandoned
Potential
It’s got potential but the text are just way to small
Good…. But extremely bad too
So. I made a review about this game before about how expensive the game is. 15 dollars for a stupid ghost. 30 dollars to remove all ads. I’ll admit there’s no forced ads every 30 seconds. Fine but it’s not worth 30 dollars. All the ads skip will do is give you these benefits only: -Double gold, follower and fame WHEN you earn them. -reroll your furniture roulette. Oh yeah…. There’s a roulette. -free revive when you for die. If not you pay a high price. -speed up the dwarf when you unlock him. He gives you rubies -get 25 rubies daily for free. Would have to watch a ad 5 times -unlock ONE cosmetic hair style. I think that’s it. 30 bucks is NOT worth itx ESPECIALLY since once you beat the game there’s no reason too anymore. You can’t even start a new game plus cause that doesn’t exist. Heck i’s be ok if you can start the adventure from the beginning but NOPE! You HAVE to start a brand new save file. And that means that EVERYTHING you made on THAT file STAYS in that files. No shared items. You just start a clean state. I ain’t going through all of that again. I genuinely hope you make it so we can play the SAME file we have AND make us able to start a new adventure. I don’t want to play another file, unlock everything. After you beat the game it’s in repeat forever. Make the price of the ad skip 10 dollars. If you ain’t gonna make us able to start from the beginning then the ad blocker feels useless due to how repetitive it
Simple but has forced ads
Simple and fun game however it has forced ads which is why I will not continue to play it.
Good
It’s a good game but they need more levels in it so I can keep playing and still be entertained
H
I’m not very happy on how yall didn’t mention about the act 3 not showing up I will not play the game till that part 3 is on
Bueno juego
👌🏾
Offline accumulation does not work
Game is fun, feel like I can only progress with it open which is annoying.
Bad UI scaling
The UI is not scaled properly for iPad, the UI tends to cover up thing and makes it very difficult to buy from the merchant because every time I try to buy something it opens my backpack and when I close my backpack it automatically hits one of the dialog options and ends the encounter
Uses ads in a fun way
This game has ads and they don’t hide it from you, but there are no pop-up ads. The ads are only used to reset your character if you die or give you good loot I have played this game for the past three hours straight. And I’m having a lot of fun with it.
Yuck
Open the game and you’re naked and surrounded by IAPS. I didn’t even waste my time finding out how bad the forced ads are. Nope. I’m out.
Great game very fun
I only wish that there wasn’t as many micro transactions you can definitely make it through the game with none but the ones they have cost a bunch
Ads
This game would get a 5 out of 5 if there wasn’t so many damn ads but I can’t stop playing it’s so addictive
It’s so fun and exciting
It’s good
SO boring
All you do is briefly talk to different characters (though not that many different ones, as you soon begin to see the same ones appearing again and again) and answer each one's question by choosing between two options...over and over and over and over. Once in a while you encounter a battle, but those simply involve rolling two dice to see if the result added to your attack value meets or beats the opposing value. That's it. Barely any thought involved in this game. Just mind-numbing button pressing. The fact that people like this game speaks to what gamers have become..🙄
Valid
Pretty valid
Won’t open after paying for no ads
Was enjoying the game and ended up paying for no ads but then it stopped opening
REALLY GREAT GAME
I love this game so much because it’s literally like a never ending story and you have to make a bunch of choices to be good or bad and it doesn’t matter if you’re bad either way
Endless ads
Expect an add every 30 seconds unless you are willing to drop 29.99 USD
Funny but kinda boring
It’s fun for about an hour and then just gets really repetitive. Cool art style though and it’s funny
Corto
Es entretenido pero en 3 o 4 horas llegas al final de la historia y el loop jugable sin historia es un poco pobre
When is the next update coming out
I like the game but when is the next update coming out
Enjoy the gam
I like the game but it seem that being gay is bad? We are in a whole different world now those kind of comments really don’t have a place in this world.
Great game but last update messed up some features
Great game. But a feature that was very useful for grinding rewards or rerolling rewards was messed up with the recent update. The way the game handles ads was masterful no forced ads but if you watched a 30 second ad they would make it worth your while by doubling your reward for a stage or rerolling furniture boxes with increased odds. But recently they updated the ads system to host 2 15 second ads instead of 1 30 second ad. And the GUI was incorrectly placed so the text box was put over the X button to close out of the ad. So you can sit through 30 seconds of ads and be unable to X out of the ad. Being forced to reset your app loosing all the rewards you were rerolling or doubling. And the second button to download the second ad is broken it only allows you to download the first app. It’s honestly quite disappointing since the way they had it at first had absolutely no issues.
Pretty cool
This game is pretty cool and there style of the way the game is handled both by dialogue and character design it really reminds me of sort the court game! I have a couple of issues that I want to share here so 1: I’m so confused if there’s online multiplayer chat or not, they seem to put in the same messages over and over again but it’s almost like they are real people?? 2: I don’t really like the combat so far, it’s all just pure luck and buffs that can help you win a fight but I just wish it was more interactive 3: Finally, the amount of times I’ve seen ads played against my will is annoying since I’m willing to watch an ad if I ever wanted some feathers or something. (The feathers are used for typing in the chat which is kinda weird and I don’t like it…) that’s all for now tho!
Idk
I liked the game I just want to know when the hero slayer part comes out
This game is so mediocre
Boring
Fun but
Fun game but getting failure and huge failure 99% of the time kinda ruins the experience.
Your doing amazing
An amazing game love your work keep on keeping on I especially like the girls not the princess but the other girls😏
1 minute in FORCED ADs
Just installed the game, got at most 1-2 minutes in and there was a forced ad. Have now uninstalled.
Simple but addictive
Sometimes a game doesn’t need to be excessively complicated to be fun to play, I enjoy passing the time with this.
Love it
It’s lude but it’s pretty funny and just fun overall
Crashes
Crashes on iPad Pro iOS 13 - JB detection seriously lol
Good
Goofy for good gam
