Please ADD ARABIC LANGUAGE ### 3/5 — Things have shifted *2026-08-23, version 1.7.3.1* I played this game a long time ago and came back to it around the time of Thorns of Devotion and fell in love with it all over again, I even went back to play the other seasons, all of which were great! BUT the latest season of Crown of Ashes felt… hollow. They’ve - for some unknown reason - removed one of my favourite mechanics of Reputation Quests, where f2p players could earn outfits related to factions. It was a great mechanic to tide people over to the next season and spend more time with characters we grew to love. Now in this new season, the main story was over so quickly, things were left unanswered and… that’s it. What little we did get of the main story was great, it was just very short and the map was very small compared to older Seasons. I was very disappointed and kept waiting for the next part. If it continues like this I have a horrid feeling I’m going to get bored of it again soon, since there’s very little to do when you’re a story-based single player. I even finished my homestead, you can’t level up anymore after level 20, so you can’t even earn decorations that way. It’s becoming very pay-to-play only and it’s such a shame. I really hope they fix this and bring back Reputation Quests soon 🙏🏼 ### 4/5 — Games ok *2026-08-22, version 1.7.3.1* The game is fun but got boring quickly for me. Story is ok. So 4 out of 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Yea it’s fun but *2026-08-12, version 1.7.2.1* It’s a fun game in the beginning and maybe I’ll stick it out but honestly it’s starting to feel like a chore. PvP which exist in like 3 different modes is all pay to win. The best characters are all locked behind a pay wall. Yea you can get them free but in my 3 months of everyday playing I only got 4 of them. You have to pull these characters many times to unlock there full potential. The story mode has been easy so no complaints there but everyday playing is becoming really boring. ### 4/5 — Enjoyed *2026-08-09, version 1.7.2.1* I generally like this game, but I have an issue. Basically when I try to change the story line the game either freezes, or lags and then freezes. I tried repairing it but it did not change. Otherwise this is a good game. ### 2/5 — Too much going on. *2026-08-07, version 1.7.2.1* Compared to the other AFK game. Theres too much going on in this game that it’s very confusing especially for new players. I’ve been playing few months and still confused on some of the stuff. There’s just too much to do and too much going on. Too many battle arena things you can do. Everytime you log in there’s like 30 things to claim. Everything on the game has a price tag that pops up. Yes you can play f2p but every update there’s something new to the game and it’s all confusing. You can do arena, guild battles, the story mode, theres like a boss daily battle you can do. Theres faction battles, theres EVERYTHING. I miss the old afk game where you could afk stuff for about 2 hours then get off your phone. This game you can play for 6 hours and still have daily stuff you can do and still miss daily rewards you didn’t get for doing such battles. Had to delete it. ### 1/5 — STOP USING AI *2026-08-02, version 1.7.2.1* I used to play this game all the time along with afk arena it was my #1 time waster until I started getting bombarded with their AI ads!! I’m beyond disappointed, they work with so many talented artists AND cosplayers to turn around and do this!! Why do you use AI in your ads when that’s not at all what the gameplay is like? I loved the new characters until AI slop of them dancing and JIGGLING popped up, disgusting!! If your sales are so low that you have to literally wh*re out your characters with AI there’s something else you need to address! ### 3/5 — Good but too big app size *2026-08-01, version 1.7.2.1* Great game but it takes a lot of space on my iPhone. ### 1/5 — WTH *2026-07-31, version 1.7.2.1* Something fishy here, why does this app need a dramatic amount of memory only to delete your save game the minute you close it! Deleted I have no use for fishy app ### 2/5 — Game is trash now *2026-07-29, version 1.7.2.1* Bigger guilds have done NOTHING. Clashfronts is still a 30 player limit per guild. Supreme league is now the hit idea by Lilith to get big spenders their own game mode to flex on each other by showing how much they’ve spent. ### 3/5 — Why is it all co-op? *2026-07-28, version 1.7.2.1* I just wanted a fun new idle game to play yet all of the events are co-op. As someone who hates co-op there are few events I can play. I also feel as if I am missing out on a ton of rewards due to my dislike of co-op which in a gotcha game full of art and characters I like, is disappointing. it’s getting three stars only because I really like the art. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be great, everything great is gone *2026-08-25, version 1.7.3.1* Story, character development, and strategy is why I used to love this game. The drop off in story after the ending of Gala’s story is immense. If you invested wisely you could build characters and strategies longterm, but they are now invalidated by the latest S+ unit Rolan. Everything is Rolan now. 90 player guilds from start to finish has been a complete lack of care or strategy, just throwing things on the wall and seeing what sticks. Not even one of my favorite IP’s (Digimon) can bring me back to what used to be my favorite mobile game for the past 2-3 years. ### 1/5 — Fake *2026-08-22, version 1.7.3.1* This is not the game they are advertising totally fake ### 1/5 — False Advertisement *2026-08-21, version 1.7.3.1* There’s no digimon in this game?? ### 1/5 — Uninteresting *2026-08-18, version 1.7.3.1* Seemed cooler in the ad. I wouldn’t waste my time, personally. But take a look at other reviews of course ### 1/5 — Unreason game modes *2026-08-16, version 1.7.2.1* This game is literally called AFK journey but the developer made games mode that expected people to be active at a certain time during the day to participate. Most of those time are midnight where people need to sleep and work. ### 1/5 — Garbage skip button simulator with predatory practices *2026-08-13* Absolutely garbage game headed towards EoS with a sharp decline in quality every season. Spent over 1000$ on this, written off as one of the worst wastes of money I could ever make in my lifetime. Lifeless game with a mostly inactive or toxic community. Customer service is appalling beyond measure. Save your time and money and try anything else. Must uninstall. **Developer response:** Thanks for contacting us. Please rest assured that we will aim help you resolve any issues you have encountered and improve the quality of our customer service. To better assist you with your issue, please provide us with your user ID and we will promptly look into your issue. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Bad game design for AFK *2026-08-12, version 1.7.2.1* Poor decisions on game design really make it hard to play. Recent updates in guild system and guild events have driven many from the servers and there are many more dead guilds. New guild battle mode Clash of Glory requires at least 20 people in your guild to be online for an exact 10 minute period, if you are late you miss it and your guild can’t even claim territory against NPC defenders. It is absolutely terrible, frustrating and utterly defeating. Last straw for me. ### 1/5 — Another whale game *2026-08-07, version 1.7.2.1* Marketed with cringe sexual characters to lure in children and lacking of any substance ### 1/5 — Purchase Price Perilous *2026-08-06, version 1.7.2.1* The game is great but watch out. They bill you WAY more for the bundles than advertised. I was billed 60.00 for a 20.00 bundle with no recourse at all…and NO. This is NOT just an amount hold. It was the final billed price. SO disappointing. ### 1/5 — Super buggy… *2026-08-04, version 1.7.2.1* I bet this game would be fun, if I could play it for more than 90 seconds without it crashing. I even downloaded the full game file all at once (which took an AGE)— and it still takes a while to open and everything— but I haven’t managed to get through the tutorial yet! I’ve already hit the “repair” option from the start menu (not a great sign that the button is necessary) but that hasn’t helped. Womp womp ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-23, version 1.7.3.1* The afk part is fun but there’s more not afk parts than I expected but it’s really fun and interesting ### 5/5 — Casual Friendly *2026-08-20, version 1.7.3.1* Been a fan/supporter of AFK arena and have to say this game takes everything to a higher level! All the original characters are here and loving the current Digimon collab! Can’t wait to see some more events in the future. No Ads here. No stamina system! Tons of daily freebies!! Play and if you get stuck on a fight take a look at your map and explore as they’re tons of chests to open and treasures to find, once the map opens up it’s pretty awesome!! ### 5/5 — DIGIMON! *2026-08-20, version 1.7.3.1* I came for DIGIMON collab and the game has been pretty fun to play when you have nothing else to do! It is a little p2w but other than that interesting! ### 5/5 — Best RPG game I’ve played on mobile *2026-08-19, version 1.7.3.1* Actually the best RPG game I’ve ever played on mobile, just fix the lag and some bugs like my character being stuck but other than that love this game ### 5/5 — Must Play👾👾👾👾 *2026-08-08, version 1.7.2.1* Graphics are great gameplay smooth, and the story is fun. An RPG that’s enjoyable to watch or play. ### 5/5 — :0 *2026-08-06, version 1.7.2.1* worth getting just to look at the character designs. peak ### 5/5 — Jogo Excepcional 🤩 *2026-08-06, version 1.7.2.1* A direção de arte do jogo é impecável! Toda a história, cutscene, personagens, o estilo de jogo e tudo mais! Tudo muito bem feito! Estou aguardando uma versão pra PC também kk ### 5/5 — Many games *2026-08-04, version 1.7.2.1* Many games has been fun but this one keeps me into the game which makes me play it more. There are great details in the game as well. Download the full version. I really like the game. I never write reviews for games but his one I think I’ll keep and invest in. ### 5/5 — A lovely idle game *2026-07-28, version 1.7.2.1* AFK Journey is a game that doesn’t feel like a chore to play. In fact, you’ll be able to do much with your time while playing it. You can have it run in the background as you work. You can have it in your pocket as you get groceries. The worldbuilding isn’t the most in-depth, but it’s certainly fun. Play it. Just trust me. It’s a wonderful idle game that’s so much better than other idle games. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-27, version 1.7.2.1* Much download. Professional looking. Good voice actors. Is another hero game but w/e good so far. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
