### 2/5 — NO SUPPORT

*2023-02-04, version 1.6*

Don't get me wrong, this is a nice little game. Unfortunately there is no support from the developers whatsoever. Although they still take money from the in app purchases. Plus it seems that if you save up a lot of materials to upgrade your weapons and armour through the game rather than in app purchase the upgrades constantly fail. So please enjoy but use caution. Any game that is free with in app purchases is designed and programmed to make you want to make those purchases.

### 4/5 — Early game, still impressed

*2021-03-26, version 1.6*

Only a few days in but, loving it so far!

### 4/5 — Bribed with ap potion for a review

*2020-07-08, version 1.6*

Worth it

### 5/5 — okay

*2020-05-10, version 1.6*

its oay

### 3/5 — Greedy game

*2020-02-02, version 1.6*

A $1 game with in-app purchases and time-delay mechanics. Really lame. Kinda fun otherwise.

### 4/5 — A few issues

*2020-01-19, version 1.6*

Good so far, but has a few bugs, one is when I get a message or alert outside of game the screen goes black and I have to restart game, this is annoying when you spent 20ap to fight a pet and lose it because it freezes, another is when you fly off to fight other kingdoms, when the timer finishes the game freezes again, not really sure what happens after you fight other kingdoms as there’s no progress after, you don’t actually see the fight screen and there’s nothing to tell you what’s happened etc??

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this app...

*2019-12-17*

I purchased this app, and it’s one feature it is supposed to have is a scanner for barcodes... it doesn’t work, just gets a blank screen and it turns on the flash light on my iPhone 8+. If you don’t scan the barcodes your units and weapons are only 70% as strong as scanned ones. Weak sauce, I’m glad I only wasted $0.99 on this and not several $$.

### 4/5 — Camera Issues

*2019-05-10, version 1.6*

The game overall is worth the 99c. The concept is crystal clear. Tho I do not like the automatic combat and no future setting to even turn it off or on. Manual entry to attack is more my style. The art is very well done in the game, I would rate it higher then 4 stars if the camera actually worked. Entering barcode manually becomes rather boring. It should not be called a bar code scanner game, neither advertise as such if the camera does not even allow of scanning. The description is very misleading. I would recommend either way this game, to anyone. Thank you Magiccubegames for this game creation.

### 3/5 — Needs to work

*2019-03-03, version 1.6*

Camera don’t function on iPhone 8 Plus. But nice concept

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-12-13, version 1.6*

Broken

Non responsive 
Will not open camera
Waste of money avoid
