Gacha game but rpg through and through
No ads and you get rewarded for being afk dawg absolutely insane idea for an rpg.
Boring
You just follow a set path. No freedom to create your own.
Fun for a bit
It’s fun for a bit but like all idle games there are, how you say…menus. Lots of them. A bagillion to be exact. There are menus for doing various upgrades, collecting quest rewards, different shops, different maps and zones of maps, dungeons, daily events, weekly events, guild events, crafting menus, ascension menus, and more. If you’re an idle games connoisseur like myself, this will not surprise you. Maybe I’ve played too many cuz this time it’s the reason I quit. Besides that’s and the f2p squeeze that idle games employ to get you to spend, this game isn’t much worth your time. Initially the incredible polish and cute aesthetic drew me in. Plus there is good variety of skills early on for choosing your own play style. Unfortunately it doesn’t take long for the squeeze to slow down your progress and the “menu game” to become tedious.
I’m literally so good at the game
Dude, I feel like I’m way too OP 10 out of 10 this is getting good. You’re making us proud.
Good at first
The game starts out very good but it quickly delves into the typical gacha formula and requires you to spend if you actually want to advance. Guilds require high powered characters ; so getting into and staying in a guild might be hard. And the game is constantly pushing you to spend more and more. And it’s all a gamble. I spent around 1,000 USD (cause I’m an idiot) and it felt like I didn’t advance at all. So think before you spend; the game will never not make you worse about yourself in order to make you spend more. People with depression or that are people pleasers will struggle to not spend; they use social pressure and guilt to encourage spending. If you wanna be good and get into groups then you’ll have to spend. I was hopeful they would help usher in a new mobile game trend of having a singular subscription service But no, they’re slime and manipulators. Stay away.
Movement, more interactive battling
When I battle in a dungeon or whatever I also wanna be able to attack because I like to engage more with battling enemies and stuff and use my own attacks, furthermore I just think if you can choose u can use your own attacks and whichever order you want and be able to fight with your sword and stuff to make it more fun
Misleading advertising
I did play this game when it first launched, and ended up dropping it because I don’t have the time for a game that literally requires you to play every day or face the consequences. That said, now I keep getting adverts for this game that are completely inaccurate to the game. Crazy busty women to represent the classes, bizarre 3D scenes like the game has any comparison to something like Genshin Impact - it’s weird. Idk how they think they can get away with it considering you’re advertising it as a completely different type of game than it is. Shady behavior tbh.
Fair
Doesn’t look anything like the multiple ads I’ve seen and never got the 150 pulls from downloading from the ad. Others games fine.
A Gacha game, but very well polished
This is a low commitment gacha game. You can accomplish everything you need to do for the day in 30 minutes to an hour, and just let it idle for the rest of the day. There is some real build theory crafting and multiplayer battle dynamics in this game (holy trinity ftw). If you want a chill Gacha game that knows what it wants to be, this is probably the best on the market. Just make sure to pace yourself and not spend much on it.
Greedy devs
Power creep everything so you have to spend to keep up to the dailies never mind the a whales that dominate pvp.
Sword times staff is a really good game
I really loved it
It’s nothing like the ads
So many ads online with different gameplay or artwork elements that you cannot find in game. Marketing team is so bold in that regard, using other games’ music, AI-generated artworks to attract players. It had potential to be a great game though, as its own artwork is unique enough and the mechanism is very similar to other idle games that have been proved okay, GGM for example. However, without paying much, your map exploration is very limited, like only 5-10min a day or so, and you can only depend on whales to carry your dungeons. It’s promoted as f2p friendly but not really. PVE is not f2p friendly for the reasons mentioned above, and PVP is not friendly for even low to mid spenders. You miss a paid content or miss a day, you fall behind forever until other players quit. The seasonal mechanism seems fair and letting people catch up at first, but again the season result transfers to some permanent attributes so if you miss anything you fall behind forever. Servers become dead very soon. Save your time and look elsewhere. If you really wanna try? Sure, but don’t pay anything until you decide to be a whale.
It’s ok
It started off pretty decent. I played it from the beginning. But now it’s turned more into a habit than anything fun. There’s just not enough variety of things to do. So as of today, I uninstalled. Maybe I’ll come back if they add something, but as of right now, it got pretty boring
Best Idler
It’s the best Idler. I really enjoy watching my character jump around killing everything
BANNED FOR NO REASON
Was grinding the game for hours at a time, ended up being banned b/c they thought I was cheating??? Ridiculous game, waste of time.
P2W but Fun
Gives out hefty amounts of freebies. Decent skill building. Whale focused though. Terrible class balancing through seasonal content
Isn’t like the adverts at all
Got 10 minutes in and just have to say this is not what the adverts make it out to be at all. Probably a good game judging from other reviews but don’t go in expecting anything you saw from adverts.
UI Design Need Serious rework
Not sure how many people were designing the game’s UI, need some serious rework: First on reward claiming, why when you select the Red notice it don’t jump to the page the reward is? Need to select the sub menu, then after that, the main page rewards immediately becomes available and you have to click back again to claim it??? Hope can be a one click claim all. Then is the drawings and some gift redeeming, why some you can tape anywhere on the screen to jump back, but some will require to click the back arrow on the lower left???? No consistency… Team match hopefully can have a speed up option, the world boss taking long time to complete… It’s a fun game to play, but I’m spending more time to click the menus for rewards than playing the game…
Actually it’s pretty fun!
At first I thought maybe it would be like a usual boring AFK game but really it proved me VERY wrong, I really recommend playing!
This game is harsh just for our money
This game makes the areas so hard just so you can get our hard earned cash. I AM NOT GONNA GIVE YOU ANY MORE MONEY EVER AGAIN, AND IM NOT GONNA RECOMMEND THIS GAME TO ANYONE
increase server player size
Please increase player service size. I have a guild that my friend made with all of our friends in real life, but we also have more friends that want to play in our server is full, and they have no way of joining our guild or even playing on our server. Please increase the size.
Fun game BUT Poor Performance.
I enjoy this game very much and have been on it for over a month on daily basis now. Gameplay is fun. I have 2 issues with it though. This game makes my phone heat up really quickly, I don’t understand how a game like this would cause that??? I don’t have this issue with other games. The other issue is that when scrolling through things where player icons are, their icons keep changing and refreshing, this has been a bug for so long.
Okay if you don’t mind the bait-and-switch
The ads looked great, right? But there was small print in Engrish that said something like “ ad creative, actual gameplay prevails “. That means that neither the character creation, or anything you see in the ads remotely resembles the actual gameplay. I am so freaking sick of that. Apparently many people don’t mind being lied to, but I do. The game would have to be amazing to make up for how much I hate deceptive ads, and it is not that amazing.
Ads are misleading, but game is actually fun.
The ads depict lizard or dragon folk, goblins and whatnot, but that is misleading. You can change your skin color and add animal ears or horns, but there’s no way to look like a dragon or goblin; at least not yet. You can eventually change classes yes, in a few different ways. I have been playing since June 1st 2026 and still enjoy the game a lot; just be sure to take the ads on X with a grain of salt!
Progression error
Around 80k power theres no similar progression. Maybe thats when he grind starts? But its a quite drastic change and all the new area jumps to 95k or 303k. I just lost interest knowing this jump and also there are many that requires key or potion to progress certain area and after getting 1.-2 from lvl 1 shop theres no way to get it.
Fun but not flawless
Game is really fun and slightly addicting. Game is heavily paid to win. If you’re a F2P player than don’t expect to ever be on the top of the leaderboards for this game. You will never be able to catch up. The only main thing but not to terrible of an issue is the marketing for the game is nothing like what the game is about. I am not sure the strategy behind that but false advertising will definitely not get new comers to your game.
lol
I placed my bid in the last 10 seconds, and then the auction showed that it had ended.
Why
I downloaded the game and it would not let me in, I have not played it and I hope it’s good, no hate, but it will not let me in. D=
An honestly fun game
This is an honestly fun game, well paced and has a great balance. It’s not hard to figure out and it keeps you well engaged. It’s nice to find a great quality game. Thank you.
False Advertising
The game is fun enough, but I can’t stand games that advertise with false footage and nonexistent features.
F2P? Yes P2W? Yes
If you are casual or competitive, this game fits u perfectly. You can clear every content as a f2p, but u wont be able to get all the rewards from events. A warning if u want to spend actual money: to be competitive enough, u have to spend thousands to keep up with the other whales, otherwise you’ll be in an awkward position between them and f2p ppl. Up to you.
Player
This Game is not for F2P :p in the furture just more boring.
iOS Second Class Citizens
Do you want to enter a gift code? Well iOS users can’t do that on the game, you have to go to a website. Where is that website? In a notice from a few weeks ago - go hunt it down every time. Do you want live support? They’re very responsive! Unfortunately, they won’t address any bugs. And somehow they can’t even tell who you are when submitting a ticket because the ticket system is also full of bugs. Keep this in mind when deciding to spend money here.
This got me addicted
This game is so good. Don’t download this if you don’t want to get addicted, but if you like getting addicted to games, this is the best for you
This is bad
Because everything else is very strict I can’t help myself players have to suffer more and me to
Great Game~!
Wildly addictive, great game with lots of customizing. The ads often are a tad misleading and in game monetization is WILD ((hear of people spending THOUSANDS on some items, 3500 was the most egregious I’ve heard)) but I run three different characters on that long grind.
Awful adverts
The adverts for this game do it such a disservice, pretending it's full of AI, or that you can import a picture and have AI turn it into your character, or that you can change your characters race, all lies. Game is kinda fun but yeah, horribly deceptive ads.
Offsite
I linked my account and tried getting out of app rewards. I shared with friends through discord. When I went back into the game, none of the rewards I received were there. Disappointing. Otherwise, the game has been pretty enjoyable.
Fun but expensive
Very fun, not super time-consuming, but expensive if you are a whale. Five stars would recommend.
Unethical user tracking
App uses information from your microphone and audio activity to profile and track you.
Good addictive game
Hi really love this game I play it everyday but theres just 2 things I would add to it. 1. Having a way to hide the chat bar. I hate seeing the weird people chatting they always say weird stuff and I do try reporting them for it tho. 2. Make the game have more things to spend time on. It takes some time to level up to the next barrier you can fight and in the mean time of having more xp, having more energy to dig up more stuff the the map, well you have nothing else to do. All the day fights take about 10minutes to finish. Other than that i like the game.
massive bot problem
i’ve just started playing, and it’s fun so far, but there is a huge bot problem. you immediately have to learn how to figure out who’s a bot (and by the one time you blocked one, another two pops up). there’s no option to report accounts for spam or suspected bot activity. you’ll just get bombarded by chats. i can’t find a way to delete chats, so you can’t even easily shut off chats. it’s just spambots making connecting with real impossible. and they spam every 30 minutes if you’re lucky
Not really multiplayer
Couldn’t add my friends because he created his character on a different server. You're given no indication that your server actually matters. How does it make sense to have one character per server instead of multiple characters any servers which are just for latency purposes?
sword x staff
the game itself is really good the adds just make it seem bad and its addictive to i recommend
Endless Romance
Leaving one star until i get more room in endless romance to play with my friends
W mobile game
Joined this game from an ad, thought it was bad till I started getting addicted to its amazing gameplay. Like bro I feel some kind of lore behind this game which won’t let me leave. Would’ve given a 5 star if not for the constant bots.
Was very good but then everything got artificially locked behind time gates
I was really enjoying the game. Lots to do, almost too much at times. Building power wasn't everything as you could use strategy to get through harder sections. But now I'm stuck behind time gates. You have to reach certain levels to advance, and then walk a few steps only to be gated for another two levels. And you can't work for experience, only wait for it. Extremely frustrating.
Gameplay is fun, but not as advertised
I do like this game and I like the chibi style. However the ads used to advertise this game are very misleading. It makes it seem like there is lots of character customization and you can make your character however you want. But there is very limited options for your character. There is only less than 10 different outfits in the game that I have seen, everyone looks the same. Please add more character customization or an in game shop where we can actually buy lots of different outfits. I’m a bit disappointed
