### 2/5 — P2P 5 campaigns in

*2026-08-14, version 2.39.1*

Game pretty much becomes pay to play 5 campaigns in. The prices get absolutely jacked up as well. From bonus packs going 5-15 to oh here is a level 8 boost pack with good armor that’ll be 67 USD. Tactics and skill matter little despite how some people want to profess it does. The game purposely will beat you down to encourage paying. Stuck somehow either characters 4x the strength and level and power level getting beaten up by supposedly weaker enemies.
You’ll be winning the battle and then suddenly the enemy does massive damage and kills you. 

I could go on and on.

BASELINE game lures you in by being better than most with the amount is gives back for a free mobile game compared to other. But then Quickly starts nickel and diming you and artificially making the game harder. All be it almost worse than other games of the type.

Game also lacks so many QOL features you sink massive amount of time making gear and stuff. The royal premium descriptions are not accurate stuff does not work as reasonably expected. 

There is almost zero QOL to this game. Expect to have 5 slots to make a piece of armor and wait 8 minutes to make it. 
But you need 120 more sets (you have the resources but you’ll need to click back and forth 300 times) sinking massive time on the game when you could just queue stuff in other games especially you’d expect Auto collection with premium “automation” but there is zero Automation zero auto collection. “Automation” refers to letting you do the resource quest at the crafting menu instead of another loading screen. That’s not AUTOMATION

### 2/5 — Вечная загрузка соединения с сервером!

*2026-08-03*

Почему, как только начинаешь втягиваться в игру, так с игрой начинают происходить непонятные вещи. Как только начинаешь подниматься в топе по ивенту, так тебе не дают зайти на сервер в последние дни ивента и награды за топ 50 превращаются в награды топ 1000<. Какой смысл играть тогда в данную игру, если играть в нее не даете. Вечное соединение с сервером - это не игра!

### 2/5 — Не запускается, тянет деньги

*2026-07-06*

После одного из обновлений игра перестала нормально запускаться - при каждом запуске требует загрузки 800 МБ, после этого висит, периодически вообще не реагирует… Так себе опыт :(

### 2/5 — Enjoyable Game, Hard Paywall

*2026-07-01, version 2.36.1*

Storyline, gameplay, and graphics are very engaging but the paywall hits early and it hits hard. I don’t mind spending money on a game but this one I can tell isn’t just a once or twice investment, it requires frequent gem purchases just to progress which is a killer. Unfortunate, as the game could be enjoyable.

### 3/5 — Potential

*2026-06-25, version 2.36.1*

I can see myself enjoying it.. except, the game freezes every round. Especially when i try to swap/move my characters around. Its extremely frustrating. Makes me want to give up!!!

### 1/5 — Game is Dead

*2026-08-25, version 2.40.0*

Game had potential but after a year there is 0 support, the Game Discord has been abandoned, game is running on autopilot. Veteran players leave daily. Only enough players to support a couple teams across all languages. Only a matter of time before they close the doors on the game. Do not spend money as game might shut down any time. Talk to players still in game but community is almost dead now.  Was a good idea, fun game but no follow through by devs

### 1/5 — Перестала работать

*2026-07-30*

Для работы требуется vpn.на удаление

### 1/5 — Pay to win.

*2026-07-06, version 2.36.1*

Do not recommend this game. It is a pay to win.

I was having a good time with the game. 

I have learnt that the halberd and crossbow are locked behind a paywall. Incredibly pay to win of the developers to lock tools from the player behind a steep paywall. Halberd cost me £20. The price of whole video games for a piece of pay to win content. These weapons offer more tactical advantage to anyone who buys it giving them an advantage in pve and pvp content.

But wait there is more there is a bomb locked behind a paywall. Not only does it offer you more damage but greater range. 

I manage to ask a member of the Dev's staff about this. They Admit that these offer you an advantage by offering you more options and damage but it is okay because it isn't a 'major' increase. Until they need more money and release even more powerful weapons for the low low price of whole video games.

I have no desire to continue to play this game because of this. I recommend others to not play it.

### 1/5 — Enjoyable Game, Hard Paywall

*2026-07-06, version 2.36.1*

Storyline, gameplay, and graphics are very engaging but the paywall hits early and it hits hard. I don’t mind spending money on a game but this one I can tell isn’t just a once or twice investment, it requires frequent gem purchases just to progress which is a killer. Cosmetics are one time use as an example. Pay premium gems to buy a nice cloak? Gotta do it again next time you upgrade. It’s just a ridiculously expensive game which is unfortunate, as the game could be enjoyable.

### 1/5 — Pay to win.

*2026-07-02, version 2.36.1*

Do not recommend this game.

I was having a good time with the game. Till I learnt that the halberd and crossbow are locked behind a paywall, two types of weapons that function different to others. Incredibly pay to win of the developers to lock tools from the player behind a steep paywall. Halberd cost me £20. The price of whole video games for a piece of pay to win content.

These weapons give those who buy them an advantage over you if you do not purchase them in PvP and PvE content. 

I have no desire to continue to play this game because of this. I recommend others to not play it.

### 1/5 — Bug

### 1/5 — broken

*2026-06-04, version 2.34.0*

### 1/5 — Big bug that doesn’t allow play at all

*2026-06-04*

I just downloaded the game. When it starts the game asks for an update to play it.

**Developer response:** It sounds like you're encountering a significant issue right from the start, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The update prompt can be frustrating, especially when you're eager to dive into the game. We encourage you to reach out through the in-app support options with more details about the bug you're facing. Your feedback is invaluable, and we hope to see you enjoying the game soon!

### 1/5 — Update?

*2026-06-03, version 2.34.0*

Where is the update so I can play the game? Every time I start the Ap it’s saying that there is another update for the game. So I click on download and it sends me back to the App Store but there is no update to download.

Классная игра

### 5/5 — 접속이

*2026-07-31*

몇일전 업데이트 이후에 접속이 되지 않습니다. 서버에 연결할수 없다고만 뜨고 지원센터에서는 답글도 없네요? 현질안하면 오랫동안 해야할 게임입니다. 젬이랑 골드도 많이 드는데 기간단축하려고 현질했는데 이건 머 접속이 안되는데 환불어떻게 하나요?

**Developer response:** 불편을 겪으신 점 정말 안타깝습니다. 접속 문제와 지원 센터의 응답이 없었다는 점은 실망스러우셨을 것 같네요. 게임의 즐거움을 느끼실 수 있도록 저희는 이런 피드백을 소중히 여기고 있습니다. 환불 관련 사항은 게임 내 지원 옵션을 통해 구체적인 요청을 전달해 주시면 좋겠습니다. 여러분의 경험을 개선하기 위해 노력하겠습니다.

### 5/5 — 👍

Редко так но все супер

**Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв! Нам приятно слышать, что вам нравится.

### 5/5 — Great fun, smashing graphics .

*2026-07-07, version 2.36.1*

Enjoying the game, it is fun building the squad and working towards improving their armour and weapons. Progression gets a bit bogged down as you get higher up in the levels and can try your patience a bit, but overall a good game.

### 5/5 — هطOh~~~

*2026-07-04*

이거 괜찮음ㅋㅋㅋ

**Developer response:** 재미있게 플레이하고 계신 것 같아 기쁩니다! 리뷰 감사합니다!

### 5/5 — 영웅 토큰 어케 먹는거냐

*2026-07-03*

영웅 업그레이드 어케 시키는거야 알려줘 ㅅㅂ

**Developer response:** 게임에 대한 흥미로운 질문 감사합니다! 영웅 토큰과 업그레이드 방법은 게임 내에서 다양한 방법으로 획득할 수 있습니다. 필요한 정보를 게임 내 도움말에서 확인하거나 다양한 전략을 시도해 보시면 더욱 효과적으로 진행할 수 있을 거예요. 유용한 정보가 되길 바랍니다!

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-06-29, version 2.36.1*

Good

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-21*

Le jeu est vraiment bien. Les mécaniques un peu difficiles à apprendre au début mais avec un peu de patience ça va.

**Developer response:** Nous sommes ravis que vous appréciiez le jeu et que, malgré une prise en main un peu complexe au début, vous ayez trouvé le moyen de vous adapter avec patience. Merci pour votre retour !

### 5/5 — Bello anche gratis

*2026-06-17, version 2.36.0*

Meccaniche accattivanti anche se alla lunga un po’ ripetitive ma il poter incrementare armi e armature fa sì che la voglia di giocare duri a lungo. Bravi

### 5/5 — Игра супер!

*2026-06-14*

Игра супер!

**Developer response:** Благодарим за такой чудесный отзыв! Рады, что игра приносит вам удовольствие!
