fighting ai
boring game fighting ai pretending to be human. game crashes during match phase without an opponent andcount you as loss.
Ads, I get it
Fun little auto-battler but the ads can be a bit much. Still a fun distraction though
Good game but disadvantaged
My question to the developers. Why am I always picking first of who I will play at the start of the game? I ask because it seems that whoever I pick, my oponent almost always picks characters with a high probability of winning because they react according to what characters I play with and honestly I hate that. It makes me feel like I have no choice but to actually put money down to level up my players faster and if thats the case shame on you. It also makes me wonder if I am playing with robots or AI instead of actual people and if you tell me that there are actual players on the otherside, again why am I always choosing what characters I play with first? Why cant they go first?
Game is good but a bug could ruin it.
Game is fun when you can play. I’ll be in the middle of a match the the game will freeze after picking my draft card and nothing happens then you close out the game to try and refresh and it ends the game and you get a loss of trophies. Also when you try to report the problem, it doesn’t have anyone to send it to
serious gem on the app store
my cousin told me about this game at dinner and i immediately downloaded it and its peak. stop looking at reviews at get it twinny!!!
Fun but major issues
It’s a cool game but is filled to the brim with micro transactions you Can’t go two seconds without a pop up trying to make you buy something. It’s rigged because it puts you up against bots who have decks that counters yours, so you’re forced to spend money to win a game the way the matches work is dumb not enough content. You win a ton of games at first then suddenly you can’t win a single one probably because it wants you to have fun then takes it so that you have to spend money to have fun again. It could be a great game but unfortunately it’s made by voodoo
Needs upgrade
Some units that have long cooldown needs to upgrade about the way that these guys choose target. For example,when there are only ONE frontline unit with a little bit health, instead of use only one snail to shoot to finish , all the snail target the nearest enemies lead me to lose causes there are lots of opponent snails in the back make it harder to win in many situations. Please read and upgrade your game.Last but not least, pls make the game a bit more balance because of the gambling system.An example is the opponent got units upgrade and x2 and I only got normal in many times. This make this feel unfair.Overall, the game is very good and addictive, making it an offline game will better by adding some mode such as story or wave likes harvest king had.
Que pérdida de tiempo y que injusticia
El juego empezó bien, pero al momento de pelear contra los cíclope son imposibles de destruir tienes que concentrar todo el daño sobre él y es peor cuando hay cinco, además el juego nunca te lo da, lo tienes que comprar
The Usual Problem
Tale as old as time. It’s an otherwise interesting concept with an enjoyable gameplay loop marred by your typical pay-to-win shenanigans. You’re pitted against enemies with substantially higher level units than you to motivate you to pay. It’s unfortunate, because the game’s pretty charming and easy to jump into, while still having enough depth to keep you interested.
Good Game

Great! Wish it had more
This is such a great game but I wish that it got updated more regularly and maybe had some events or something. Having clans and a friends tab would be nice as well so you could battle your friends! Additionally, there should be some customizable skins for different characters which you could unlock and work toward to bring some good variety. Just wish there were at least some more new characters. Great game though!!!
unfortunate
i like the idea of it but it’s definitely a pay to win game
Fun but rigged.
You play a game enough, watching it for hours you start to see patterns and it’s really too bad because it’s a really fun game. Until you realize it doesn’t really matter your strategy because of the pattern. You win two, then you lose two, you win three in a row and then you lose 4 in row. The algorithm decides the cards it gives you, so if you’re about to win a streak then you suddenly get impossible cards to play. So it’s a fun waste of time but it’s not a game I would spend a single nickel on. Nothing I buy would give me an advantage, no amount of upgrading to my characters would give me an advantage. Because the game algorithm is set to make you lose if it wants you to. You can have 8 missiles against 4 missiles and all 8 missiles will shoot at one missile while the opposition takes out each one of yours. I literally just saw this happen and was compelled to write this. I’ve spent 9.99 on this game so far and had a suspicion of the game play and just had it confirmed. Play the game, it’s fun to play and watch…but don’t waste your money. Progressing your cards is pointless and strategies are futile because the game decides if you win or lose when the match is set. It’s like professional wrestling lol. Exactly like that.
Phone
Very fun
Glitchy Game
The game is actually decent but the amount of glitches is insane. The game progression locks probably 1 out of every 10 games and you have to restart.
Fun
Passes the time, interesting concept. Commercials optional so it’s not miserable, though it’d be better without ‘em
The game is great but…
Honestly I really enjoy this game. Even against over levelled players I find good strategy wins 9 times out of 10. However, I recently purchased something for £9.99, and I didn’t receive anything. I tried hitting restore purchase, pressing the purchase button again but alas, no in game items. As such, it heavily knocks down what would be a 5 star rating. Overall, great game but being completely ripped off is incredibly frustrating.
P2W af
Great strategy type game ruined by p2w aspects
Highly recommend
This games doesn’t have the traditional 30 second ad after every round so it’s very easy to get sucked into playing for a little while
P2W whales vs broke
Everyone I face has max everything meanwhile I’m trying to play with my low lvl champs EVERY SINGLE MATCH
Game
Fun game but I think it might needs some more updates and players
Do you ppl have any idea what you’re doing?
The game is great. Except when you give cards that completely take the tactics out of the game. It seems if you win the first round your opponent is almost guaranteed to win the next one if not next two rounds based on the comeback bonus. You can’t really expect someone to win the round against a multiplier when the round winner is given their regular cards. Do better!
Spell causes game to freeze
Great game, but please fix the spells lag. Nothing hurts more than being one hit away from winning and having the game freeze after casting a spells. :)) chơi vui mà lag nó tức quá trời ơi 🙉
Ads subscriptions suck
The ads subscriptions suck. I’d rather pay a one time purchase to get rid of ads like many other games. Asides from that, I enjoy the game.
Fun at the start
Immediately after it becomes pay to win. Unless I’ve had terrible luck it seems there’s no way to get new cards without paying real money.
Nice
Honestly just peak lol
Ok but no skills involved
It’s a great game and the concept is something I enjoy. However, there is very little skill involved and it is mainly luck or you need to buy units in order to progress. I’ve been on the 5th arena for days and lose two and win two. The game gives me lower upgrades compared to my opponent meaning I’m almost always losing unless I have better units. I’ve tried every strategy research strategies and nothing works if the other player gets far better upgrades than me. You will win loads in your first 4 arenas but will get stuck unless you buy packs. Such a shame because I really enjoyed it but it’s become so dull now as there is no progression.
Love This Game
…but a star off I’m afraid until all the players with main character syndrome who don’t/won’t give their team a name thus meaning those of us who CAN be 4rsed to put a name to ourselves don’t know when we’re replaying them. You may think this is a minor gripe but it certainly gives as them an advantage overall going into a fight with knowledge of previous with the same opponent (as well they know, I suspect). Anyway, that annoyance aside (which will be rectified to 5 stars if ever players need to have team names) this is a very moreish game and great fun. I’m Shebruuuh on there, not that you can search names on there but just, y’know, FYI ———————————————— About a month after writing this review I’ve come to the conclusion that each & every player is playing against AI, which - if true - I really think the developers need to be clear about this rather than listing the game as PvP. Another star off my ranking.
Aura
Super tuff fun aura
rage bait
this game is so terrible, there isn’t a single real player and they make sure it’s painfully obvious from the start so when you lose 8 times in a row, loose all your trophies, and are given horrible options to pick from every time while your opponent has a literal army, you know it’s the games ai. AI SLOP GAME
Actually fun
This is like the only fun game ive found in a while only problem is the limited card and characters
It’s okay
Definitely gives people who pay an advantage - some games are literally impossible to win by the options they give you! Frustrating because rarely relys on skill
Stale
This game is fun for the first bit, but it gets boring as you just basically do the same thing over and over again. It is similar to games like clash royale but the reason that game doesn’t get boring and this one does is because you can make a ton of decisions during your match to change how your game plays. In this game though you can only make a select few decisions which results in gameplay that functions more like: if my opponent plays X I will play Y, if my opponent plays Y I will play Z. Opposed to other games where you can do a lot of more things which makes the game more like; if my opponent plays X, I could play Y or Z, but I could also wait a bit and play A.

Guaranteed loss mechanic and RNG
Mastery is a guaranteed loss mechanic. First off 90% of the players are Bots. They have abilities that nobody else has because you have to play for 2+ hours with a bad card/character to get them. They have cards that you don't get for another 2 ranks solely because they are BOTS! so they dont have to put in the hours they can have whatever they want. Also it going without saying the game is based off RNG. Theres a card that doubles your troops. If you get that card a lot you win. All up to luck
Really good but
This is a very good game, but everybody else has got all these different characters and it won’t give me any other characters. I’ve only got two that aren’t the starter ones, even though I’m a higher stage and everybody else I go against has them even if they are at a lower stage
Meh
It could be a great game. However, if you don’t unlock the latest cards in your arena then you basically lose. Seems pointless playing as the new cards are too op to counter with the cards you have. Needs to be fixed
game is fun, t3 assassin needs serious changes
game is enjoyable, strategy of it is enough to keep me playing. a lot of bots but realistic enough to kind of make it feel enjoyable and i imagine without bots MM would be far longer. regardless, tier 3 assassins need a serious change. feels like they work great at tier 2, and all of a sudden everything mucks up at tier 3. minimal explosion damage, spreads enemies out with the blast radius and blast is so large that it’s kicking enemies towards my own back line???? sort it please, an upgrade shouldn’t feel so downgraded. it kills less with tier 3 than with tier 2😵💫
T
So good
Almost great game
I liked it at first but don’t play unless you like pay to win or just being rage baited . They make some of the levels IMPOSSIBLE so that you can’t advance forward and have to keep playing . Genuinely soooo frustrating because they give your opponent an unfair advantage in spins and there’s nothing you can do… if the coders are reading this, PLEASE FIX THATTT !! IM SO UPSET
No pop up ads ( so far )
To be honest this game is actually pretty fun to play and the game is a little luck based but apart from that it’s good
Fun But Infuriating
This game heavily relies on luck and levels rather than actual skill. This game has basically no player to player interaction as you’re mostly always against bots, which are most of the time are a much higher level than you. Most bots that go against you are insanely over-levelled, as I was in arena 9 with my units averaging level 7-8 and I get put against bots with level 15 everything so you’re bound to stay in that arena for much longer than you should. You can tell that you’re playing against bots when you swipe up and switch apps mid-match and when you go back on, the match hasn’t progressed at all and you’re in the same position as you were before you swiped. Fun game, bad match-making.
Fun game but lacking
The game needs something more to it. It doesn’t take long to complete the arenas and get to the top of ranked mode and now there’s no point in continuing to play until the ranked mode resets (26 days from now). Also, the rewards for reaching milestones are too frugal. You have to scrimp and save gems for a week or two to unlock even one diamond pack. It reaches a point where it becomes pay-to-win because every player you encounter seems to have maxed out troops whereas I’m relying on daily bronze packs to upgrade.
The one
Out of all the games I’ve played this is the one
No good cards
I played this game for 1 hour and it was fine but then I didn’t have any of the good cards so I just got beat every time. It is so unfair. Don’t get this game
Great Game! But…
Love this game, its so fun, simple and very fast paced. My only real issues are that most of the players are just bots! There also seems to be a really frustrating bug, where when you pick a card to spawn troops, the game just kinda sits and does nothing, forcing you to surrender and lose ranks! Please fix
Fake reviews.
There are no real ‘players’ I don’t like how the game acts as if there is. While the game is balanced and fun to start, that’s where the fun stops. Post 1k trophies offers no late game strategy. You’ll find the bots are unbalanced and unfair. Their cards being levels above yours. It makes the game totally unplayable. My recommendation - Play clash royale instead.
Nice game but needs improvement
It is a nice simple strategy game but the bugs and the bots are kind of killing it hence the 3 stars. Not sure how many times I was in the middle of the game and suddenly it will just be stuck.
