Still ironing out the kinks
Updated: I may have been a bit harsh with my initial review. It seems the matchmaking has gotten better since s3 rolled out. The devs reached out which is always a good sign. I’m still playing, it’s still fun. I might even still grab the battle pass for s3. I hope the clans mode develops well since it’s always fun to have other gameplay options and collab w/others. Keep at it devs, just don’t get greedy!
Full of bots & and pay to win
All bots & predatory pay to win game

Stalls hard after 4500
Great game, until you hit emerald at 4500. Then your opponents are 1000-1500 points higher than you and win rate drops off dramatically. After 4500 the game becomes very much pay to win sadly.
Simple but with fun layers
The game is a pretty straightforward battle-strategy game that you can pick up and play without knowing much. That said, it has enough to it that I’ve found it super fun and replay-able as the randomness of your draw with the match modes do change the match to match feel in a good way. The pay elements are set up such that you can totally ignore them if you want to.
Nerfed
This game was surprisingly fun and I have to admit I played more than I should have. I paid to get the unlimited rewards of winning. I learned how the new game modes worked and combined skill sets to make for some really fun game strategies. It was fun. Then they did this update that nerfed the leader skills. This would be so bad if it didn’t leave me playing STUCK in the 4500 league with units easily 3-4 levels below that of my opponents. Like I had reached the limit of what I could achieve tactically. I would still get some wins but a lot more losses. Now it’s not even close I’m getting steam rolled. The best starts and the ability to use the round modifier to my advantage and I still get smoked. I’m no longer enjoying any part of the game. They dumbed down the game so players with less skill can perform better. I refuse to support this game as I’m certain it’s only going to get worse.
Very Fun but Harsh Balancing
I truly find this game to be one of the best auto chess types that I’ve found. The troopers are cool in design, the traits they offer are interesting and team building feels very solid. There isn’t a huge troop pool but this is a both good and bad. The balancing I mentioned mostly comes from this troop system. You can level up individual troops so the comps you use can be stronger. That is interesting for an auto chess but leads to those who pay money to just quickly over level and you’ll find yourself against a wall. It’s not too common to see but can be frustrating when it’s nearly a guaranteed loss. The only last point is the Heroes. This is probably my favorite part of the game as it can really add that final piece to your go-to comp. However, a couple are definitely much stronger than the rest and it may seem a tad unfair as getting them isn’t easy as a F2P player. I’m looking at you, PlasmaBot. Besides my gripes, the unfair matches are few and the game is genuinely fun so I won’t be uninstalling any time soon. I’ll just keep grinding resources and wait to see what they add next.
Pay to win
The game is fun but it’s very pay to win. You often times have no chance of winning because your opponent has given the game more money, which is a shame, because the game could be really great.
Good Game, but pay to win
This is a good game that had potential, but it’s another pay to win game. You can buy level ups for your cards which substantially increases their power. You won’t be able to compete unless you spend a substantial amount of money. If there was a mode that did not take into levels of the cards this game would be great. Level the playing field
Awesome game with tons of updates
Never gets boring
Terrible game PvP
Definitely a pay to play game and the matchmaking is horrendous , you can barely level up bc it pairs you against way over powered people why only pay money to play
Fun
Pay to win
Akkukiller
Das Spiel frisst sich durch den Akku. Spielspaß hält sich in Grenzen. Läuft stark Richtung pay2win. Matchmaking unausgewogen. Ansonsten kurzfristig unterhaltsam.
Decent
It’s not a bad game but it’s really hit or miss. The main issue I have with it is the timer when in match. You don’t have a good amount of time to pick the units you want to place and if you’re new you’re just blindly placing units because you’re rushed and don’t have NEARLY enough time to read anything about the units that are drawn. The turn timer needs to be extended a couple seconds.
goat
Just get the game, Clash Royale is dead and rift is in.
RnG game (luck based)
If you enjoy gambling then it is the perfect game for you. It is basically TFT but cheap.
Buggy shutdowns
Game looks great and mechanics are solid, a little hard to learn new units since I can’t see their attributes without buying. Biggest issue is it closes every session in game. Seems crashes are about every 2-3 minutes almost unplayable.
Rating
After A little while of playing it I see the true side of it it was a great game I won’t lie great graphics,characters and all that but it’s already getting pay to win when you start to get to the highest ranks it’s nothing but pay to win be use your trying to catch up to all the people who have high level cards they’re probably grown men with money spending habits not saying it’s bad if they want to spend their money on it but I mean come on it literally ruins the game for new players.
Game buffers when I am winning
Game keeps buffering whether I am in WiFi or not and now I can’t even get into the game. Very frustrating.
Alien version of Clash of Royale in my opinion
This game has a bunch of wacky and cool characters like the land shark and pow also here are some ideas for new characters to add like a drilling alien that can dig underground and pop up or a robot tank sledger is my favorite alien back to the alien ideas what about an alien egg if it gets attacked it spawns Chompys or a swarm of rats just a game has so much potential. Thank you for creating this game.
Game won’t load
Can’t play, game won’t load
Good
Great quick game to get into.
Divertido, mas não funciona
Jogo divertido, mas com problemas técnicos. Estou jogando e ele fecha o jogo no meio da partida, deixando impossível ser competitivo. Isso acontece tanto no iPhone 13 quanto no IPad. Me arrependi de ter comprado o passe de batalha.
Sort of fun
I’ve put quite a few hours into this game over the past week and here are my thoughts after getting to 1600 trophies. 1. Progression for units is pretty slow when it comes to upgrades. The majority of units are locked so a lot of your packs only give cards towards unlocked units you have making packs feel boring. 2. The prices are wild and a pretty clear money grab. The game will over to unlock a unit for $6! Hero variety is also bland and slow to progress. 3. The units need balancing, some of the units are just non starters and the abilities are pretty bland. Heroes also need balancing, the plasma bot lifelink ability is crazy broken. Overall it’s been a mid experience, I hope the team behind this game examines some of these pain points and implements some fixes.
addicting fun game
i love autochess games and this is instantly one of my favorites haven’t been able to stop playing cuz it’s so fun can’t wait to see what fun updates they are gonna put out
Baited Again
Game could be super fun, but 5 minutes in and multiple pop up for pay for power. Getting sick of games like this.
Freezes
Haven’t even got to post the game .. I’m on an iPhone and I downloaded the game but when I open it . It loads for maybe 3secs and then seems to freeze. Game looks very interesting and it’s love to give it a try
Too confusing
I can’t hide the fact that this game is a direct ripoff from merge tactics clash Royale, however, that doesn’t matter. The game is alright but any new player is just bombarded with too many cards to choose from, given very little time, it’s incredibly hard to build a proper team without being confused and overwhelmed. I think this game would be much better if you could equip certain cards and battle instead of using all the cards. Other than that the game is fine, but if you are able to add that feature please do.
Great Game
Already a great game and it’s brand new. Can’t wait for updates!
F2P stay away
Forget playing if your F2P. It’s only for pay to win.
Great gameplay, rough progression
The game is really fun unfortunately the fun ends quickly. Progression in this game is super slow. You have to play every character available but don’t have unlocked yet so you can’t upgrade. Unlocking new cards takes forever if you choose not to pay. I’ve played about 5 hours and have maybe unlocked 3 new characters. Not to mention the do you get for your cards is good but you will never have enough gold to upgrade cards unless you pay money. It’s a real shame.
Quality over quantity
Tutorial of different units needs some attention. Felt very rushed. Same could be said for the heroes. The preparation timer could use an indicator of expiring time, both audio and visual instead of just going to 0 and battle starting. Having access to locked characters gives players something to look forward to unlocking if they like the abilities or mechanics but it's very overwhelming in the preparation phase when random characters are in your deck that you didn't assign.
Surprisingly High Quality
Game is extremely fun, shocked at amazing sound design and impressive graphics despite simple art style.
I would not bother downloading right now.
Unless you want to spend a ton of money you won’t be able to play after a whole. I got about a day of playing then you get to a rank where everyone has high level cards. At that point your comp or troop rank means nothing. Card level is the only thing that matters. And guess what card level progression is tuned way down with purchases to make it go faster. Creators need to find a new way to profit from the app or this one will fail. Will try to download a few months from now and see if they fixed the pay to win.
Good buuuuut…
The game is good and the battles are fun, but it is Pay-to-Win. You quickly find yourself up against players who have terrible strategy but they’ve spent hundreds of dollars on leveling up their units to the point where you can’t win if you haven’t spent a similar amount.
Much needed after the loss of clash mini and merge tactics going downhill
I like tft and dota autochess but wanted something in between the complexity of those and the easiness of merge tactics. This scratches that itch. Only downside is card/character levels existing outside of the individual match. But yk mobile game shenanigans. I only hope the monetization isn’t insanely evil and that the devs actually care about making a good game. TLDR I love the game but the monetization is scary for longevity.
Love it
It really good to start with
Decent game ruined by monetization
Reminds me of a borderlands art style autochess but the aggressive monetization ruins the experience for me. With daily rewards capped and constant forcing of expensive mtx into the home page, it creates an extremely predatory game loop and competitive experience.
Bugs
On the punching bag mini game, it doesn’t register my high score or the score for the leader board, it doesn’t register a score at all, it stays at 0, It’s been a few days now. And it needs to be more balanced, some of the monsters or whatever are so over powered, I’ve been playing this game for a little while now and it doesn’t feel balanced yet. Hopefully changes are coming or I’ll have no choice to abandon this game, and it really is a goo game, it needs more game modes to. Maybe even a PvE mode would be good.
Lag and disconnect
Very laggy and game crashes
Might be my new FAV game
I love this game so much it’s crazy. I like how you get 25 trophies when you win and you only lose 5 when you lose so it doesn’t feel like you’re losing everything every loss. You’d have to lose 6 in a row to truly start losing progression and it’s not a punch in the gut it’s more of an “I’ve got to try harder”. I’m gonna be a F2P player like I am in all games and sure there’s stuff to spend money on but honestly I still feel like I can play without much of an unfair-ness. I LOVE the characters so much and hot take: I’m really glad when you merge them they don’t genuinely evolve. In a lot of other merge games they have one or two good evolutions then the other parts are just filler. I really do love the character design. There could be more characters, maybe more tiers and a little faster progression, but other than that it really is good. You don’t ACTUALLY have to pay money to unlock every unit you js have to grind a little bit. One thing I will say is if I ever were to pay for things, it’s way too expensive. Anyways thank you for reading this, and thank you for creating one of my new favorite games. Please don’t go downhill like clash and actually listen to some of your more upvoted reviews. Thank you.
Wtf is this business model?
There was dota underlords and currently we have auto battler from LoL. Non of them had this absurd P2W mechanics, just pure skins and it works In rift wars you can't skip tutorial (which is ridiculous) and you have to actually level up your characters. Who thought that's gonna be a good idea? Why would you make auto battler a p2w game?
Fun but pay2win
Honestly very fun autobattler, but super pay to win. You can pay to upgrade your units, and it makes it impossible for people who don’t pay to keep up.
