Even though I get early game kills and clear out the minions the most I get is like 50 coins lead. It makes no sense. Would like to see better reward for getting kills and clearing out the waves. ### 4/5 — Bots vs players *2026-05-25* How can we distinguish. Played beta which was 95% bots. Still a great game just gets somewhat boring not knowing ### 4/5 — Cool *2025-08-05* Game is cool, but why i cant choose heroes in game? ### 4/5 — Bot simulator *2025-06-01* Decent game has potential. Need advertising to increase player base, and more updates for quality of life etc ### 3/5 — 闪退 *2025-05-21* 打完一局后到主页闪退， **Developer response:** Please update the new version ### 3/5 — 5 star until they fix the game *2025-04-27* It keeps kicking me out after I finish a match. Please fix it **Developer response:** Sorry for that, we will follow this issue and should fix it in next update. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS GAME! *2026-06-01* Please whatever you do. Do not get this game. They will take your money and then ban your account after a few days of inactivity no refund and no reason for the ban. I literally never used the chat function or anything just paused playing the game for a few days and my account was banned. It’s a scam do not play this game. **Developer response:** Please tell me your nickname, we will check your account, Sorry for the inconvenience. ### 1/5 — Eh *2026-05-31* No balance in matchmaking ### 1/5 — Слизали у доты *2025-08-06* Как персонажа выбрать ### 1/5 — Could be good… but not *2025-07-22* The game was fun when I first played it, it was apparent every match was all bots, but as you progress in levels the bots all start with triple your stats. They mask their bad AI by making them hit three times as hard as you without items. Don’t waste your time playing. ### 1/5 — I was so excited *2025-06-27* Seriously you had to make login in! I literally hate when companies force you to sign in it’s like I was all excited for a new game until i realized you had to sign in with Facebook google or apple 😡😡😡. ### 1/5 — Total trash *2025-06-07, version 1.0.3* Total trash ### 1/5 — reimbursement of Armor *2025-05-08* Just logged in and all my goods have disappeared. Is this a scam? I would like my goods returned please. Great game, but needs more depth. **Developer response:** Sure, please contact us via email or Discord(shows in game settings), we will handle it asap! ### 1/5 — Why would you do this? *2025-04-27* I logged in with Apple and the game uses my full first/last name above my character and does not let you change it before auto launching. Why? Horrible design. No thanks! **Developer response:** Sorry, but we offered the name change after tutorial complete, and you can also click your avatar to change the nickname or in you profile page. ### 3/5 — Total peak *2025-09-09, version 1.1.5* Total peak ### 3/5 — Faltam coisas *2025-08-01* Jogo é bom mas faltam coisas como: diminuir o preço porque quem mora no Brasil fica caro comprar. Arrumar o histórico de conversa, porque toda vez que falo algo com meu amigo, a conversa some. Algo pra comprar com o dinheiro verde além de upar os itens. Passe de batalha tá caro. Organizar os níveis porque eu to diamante e caio com quem é ferro. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-10-14* Melhor jogo de celular atualmente ### 5/5 — Круть *2025-10-05* Хотелось бы увидеть скины колаборациии например из аниме и т д готов аж платить за это ### 5/5 — Bigger *2025-08-15* Needs a 5vs5 map Doesn’t need to be big Just 5vs5 ### 5/5 — Pretty Decent *2025-08-14* Game is pretty decent for an ARAM style game with dota inspired hero’s. There are a few things though that harm the game though. Remove the P2W runes. This is probably the biggest red flag for the game and is why I’m docking off a star. Honestly I don’t know why this part is a mechanic. Dota like heroes shouldn’t have this sort of scaling outside matches. More information needs to be provided. In game and outside, I’d like an option to see hp, move speed, total armor, etc. Gameplay wise, I think the lack of mana really hurts the game. It’ll limit the creative space of heroes you import and promotes a very spammy playstyle. I don’t think mana needs to be as conservative as dota2, but the current lack of mana really hurts a lot of the game. Items all being passives is also not a good idea. What differentiates dota2 from all the mobile mobas are active abilities and items with power and distinctive effects. The current item system has a lot of stat sticks that don’t really mesh well in my opinion for the experience you are going for. There is a lot of potential I see in a mobile dota aram style game and I’d really like the game to succeed. The Hong Kong developer seems to update the game often and I hope they maintain this momentum far off into the future. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-05-19* Love the idea, love the gameplay. Love the simplicity. You need advertising and gameplay videos by streamers out there and you will blow up. Love this game, please don’t let it die ### 5/5 — Has the potential to be amazing *2025-05-16* If you keep pouring work into this game it could be something special, it’s already extremely cool as a concept ### 5/5 — Not bad *2025-04-27* Awesome game I would like for character abilities to show a demonstration rather than have to read each and everyone. ### 5/5 — Rad!! *2025-04-23* Finally, a moba that’s uniquely its own thing while remaining super fun! Love this game so far! ### 5/5 — Ancient stars the rise is very fun and enjoyable to play *2025-04-17* Jack ### 5/5 — Good *2025-04-15* Cute mini dota --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
