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?? ### 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 ### 3/5 — Pushy *2018-06-09, version 1.6* Good but made do a review ### 4/5 — Simple. Fun. *2017-08-08, version 1.6* Good stuff! ### 3/5 — Needs work *2017-06-04* AP system is annoy everything important uses AP. Instant travels should have their own cooldown. Players should a set amount they can upgrade if they pay or level up. This make battle faster and give the player a choice the matter. ### 4/5 — Good and fun *2017-05-25, version 1.6* Just a quick lil barcode pick me up game! ### 4/5 — Fun *2017-04-13, version 1.6* Fun ### 5/5 — awesome *2017-04-07, version 1.6* just awesome! ### 4/5 — Game *2017-02-24, version 1.6* Good game eh ### 3/5 — Good *2017-02-16, version 1.6* Its good but it could do better with a faq and a longer tutorial. ### 4/5 — Fun *2017-02-13* Good time killer. Could've done without additional IAPs for a paid game even if it was only a dollar. They're completely unnecessary however. Fun finding barcodes around house to scan or whipping out phone at a store. Battles are automatic & IA doesn't make most logical decisions. Minor complaint. 4 stars easy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 $$. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2018-12-13, version 1.6* Broken Non responsive Will not open camera Waste of money avoid ### 1/5 — Unknown purchase! *2017-09-21, version 1.6* When I got this game I figured it was free, but I never bought anything for it, and I got charged for a dollar without buying a single thing! ### 1/5 — Good, but AP *2017-06-25* I like games like this, and its made even better by the fact that its not a specific thing that you have to buy. But the AP system makes it so that you have to wait forever to do stuff. I've stopped playing several games because they made me wait too much. Overall it's a good game, though. Update: okay, so the game won't recognize when I'm tapping now, and no matter what I do, I can't fix it. Pretty much just a waste of money now. Update: the glitch stopped, and the AP stopped being annoying. Actually, it now seems like there's too many barcodes. ### 1/5 — Good shiet *2015-07-26, version 1.6* Just started but seems fun ### 1/5 — kk *2014-04-06, version 1.1* lkkk ### 1/5 — Freemium *2014-03-26* This game has so much potential, but is let down massively by AP (you get one every 3 minutes) which hinders your progress considerably. You can play the game for a good 10-15 mins then you'll have to wait 24 hours to do anything else or buy AP potions via In-app purchases (rip-off). My advice for this game is get rid if the AP system entirely but I'm sure you won't so at the very least increase the rate at which you get it say 5-10 every 3 mins instead of a measly 1. If you make these changes I'll give it 5 stars because it really does have so much potential. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Simple *2016-07-02, version 1.6* Another at to play further than a couple minutes... Find something else... ### 2/5 — Well *2015-09-17, version 1.6* This is a really good game but it doesn't work any more just crashes a second after you open it up on the 6th gen iPod and this morning I didn't even have this issue so I'm just speachless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — okay *2020-05-10, version 1.6* its oay ### 5/5 — Good but... *2018-11-01* The shop system seems slow, bought 40 AP potions twice, got the confirmed pay... but no potions... but other than that, good game! Needs however some evil classes like necromancer and such ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-06-23, version 1.6* JJ ### 5/5 — I want my free potion. *2018-04-12, version 1.6* Gimme. ### 5/5 — Nice concept *2018-01-18* Very cool concept of being able to scan bar codes ### 5/5 — bestgame *2017-10-19, version 1.6* its really a cool game ### 5/5 — Fun *2017-09-14, version 1.6* Fun game when you've got some down time ### 5/5 — So much fun!! *2017-07-06, version 1.6* Wasted a whole weekend playing this and had a great time!!! ### 5/5 — Very addicting! *2017-06-21* Everything in the game is very fast paced. Lots of warriors to collect and a whole lot of pets and missions. ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2017-06-17, version 1.6* Awesome game, trying to play it at the groceries !!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
