### 1/5 — It’s 7+ years old and still only for whales

*2026-08-15, version 8.1.0*

Lots of bugs for a game this old- was literally waiting for my last energy to quick run a map, got it, tried to use it and got an error, closed game and now have to wait another 10min for that 1 needed energy… weekly and monthly challenges/tournaments can only be won if you spend between $300-$1000 a day which is ludicrous. Most games that’s maybe $10 a day; everyone has to play VPN style unless they’re rich to get the gems needed to buy stuff at wan/dong/yen values.
Everything is designed solely around cash in order to progress- my decent build without money is 1/10 the build of someone who buys everything and max upgrades when it comes out (whale mentality). I play for the challenge of the game- I’ve played whale accounts and it’s boring just standing there as everything gets obliterated yawn fest.

My account got stuck- I can earn any blue soul stones I believe they’re called as I’m negative 2,000,000,000 stones… can’t level heroes in that state so higher level are ridiculously hard with a hero that’s like lvl 92 but could be 105. Havent gotten any reply from game team on what happened to my account

8/14/26 Update- zero help from Habby so far- just accusations and bs reports. They recently stole nearly 300 monster arena keys from my account; when I saw I had free chests I used them, they never showed I was using gems. Now they’re saying I used almost 5000 gems on “free” draws from the game (mind you they’re almost always junk draws so- no one uses gems for those)

They want screen shots and screen recording to prove my issues- no one goes into a game recording because they expect to be screwed over constantly; and how would I prove something when they’re the ones stealing resources from my account… shady shady bs requests to protect their “integrity”

### 3/5 — Test update on iOS before releasing perhaps

*2026-08-14, version 8.1.0*

Every time theres a new update, the game has a bunch of new bugs on iOS and have to keep repairing it in settings menu. That resets equipment, hero costumes, monster battle board setup, etc. it’s getting annoying how consistent every new update has new bugs, like get it together already

### 2/5 — Not offline

*2026-08-13, version 8.1.0*

Not an offline game. Entertaining and such keeps you interested but it is NOT FOR OFFLINE use. Will not work after a couple tries without internet. Can’t upgrade or do anything without internet.

### 1/5 — I doubt there’s anyone in the top 1000% who hasn’t spend money to get there…

*2026-08-12, version 8.1.0*

This used to be overall is really fun and addictive but the long range monsters are way too overpowered and the smaller monsters are way too fast so you don’t have much time to attack because I’m always on the run, and while I can’t attack I’m taking a lot of damage. The damage that the monsters do is way too much compared to the health that I have.  As the levels get higher the less health that I have and the monsters do more damage. The game would be a lot smoother is we got health more often. So one or 2 changes to increase our health when we level up. This game also needs to change the pay wall in progression, the probability and gain of chests is outrageous, never getting anything you actually need unless you spend money. 
Extremely terrible game as of today, they just want with battle passes and 90% of things you need to get stronger locked behind a pay wall.

### 2/5 — It’s 7+ years old and still only for whales

*2026-08-11, version 8.0.2*

Lots of bugs for a game this old- was literally waiting for my last energy to quick run a map, got it, tried to use it and got an error, closed game and now have to wait another 10min for that 1 needed energy… weekly and monthly challenges/tournaments can only be won if you spend between $300-$1000 a day which is ludicrous.

### 2/5 — Tweak it

*2026-08-07, version 8.0.2*

This used to be overall is really fun and addictive but the long range monsters are way too overpowered and the smaller monsters are way too fast so you don’t have much time to attack because I’m always on the run, and while I can’t attack I’m taking a lot of damage.

The game would be a lot smoother is we got health more often. So one or 2 changes to increase our health when we level up. This game also needs to change the pay wall in progression, the probability and gain of chests is outrageous, never getting anything you actually need unless you fund your account, needing to spend money. 
Extremely terrible game as of today, they just want your money with battle passes and other perks that cost you real life cash.

### 1/5 — iPhone 8 de oyun hiçbir şekilde oynanmıyor

*2026-08-03, version 8.0.2*

optimizasyon berbat

### 3/5 — having an issue

*2026-07-30, version 8.0.2*

I play this game all the time and I have never had issues but recently if I go on for the day I’ll claim my daily tasks then go to open the chest for when you’ve completed the tasks and it will say I already opened it and will not let me claim any of the chests! please fix this!

### 5/5 — Great, until the SPIDERS

*2026-07-25, version 8.0.2*

I was really enjoying this game! The systems for leveling up, getting gear, and increasing your stats was so fun. But Chapter 2 has SPIDERS. Unfortunately, they disgust me so much that I can’t play anymore 🥲

### 1/5 — Cannot open game

*2026-07-22, version 8.0.2*

Game tells me to update and opens this page but there is no version to update.
