However the majority of the time when you “win” a gem, your gem count doesn’t actually increase. ### 3/5 — Mid *2025-12-25, version 2.1.21* This game is to all levels as a respectable amount of treasure and a ancient for the upon greatness to this magnificent game I say to all peers and all which decide that today for a day that they get such beautiful magnificence towards such incrediblecy I say I say to all among this is one that you have to experience if not, if not, you are alone the one which lives towards a dome please please please please I say I say this is a greatness that none can compare I say, in the name of all which greatness this game is mid ### 3/5 — No BTC *2025-12-13, version 2.1.21* No BTC, but still kinda fun… ### 4/5 — This game is amazing!!! *2025-06-19, version 2.1.21* When is Blacksmith 2 coming out???!!! I love this game but I’m already burned out on it. And maxed everything out pretty much. The achievements are not that reasonable for rewards when you are in late game of it all. ### 4/5 — Okay, it’s time for yall to update this. *2025-05-28, version 2.1.21* It’s been 3 years and no update? Thats sad. Theres lots of things you could do to improve it. Add new features, higher level than 81 weapons, make the ‘spawn faster’ button less easy to accidentally click room button all the time, add new achievements. Just bug fixes at least!? Come on! Pleeeeeeeease! ### 2/5 — Ad Freezes and Data Loss *2025-04-16, version 2.1.21* Any time a reward offers a “Supercharge”, such as with boosts and the gifts, the ad freezes at the end and you never get the reward. Makes it a bit troublesome. I also opened the app recently and saw that my data had been lost and I was earlier in the game than I was before. I was past the Harbinger bow and Cudgel. ### 3/5 — Overall good game, but issue with ads *2025-01-08, version 2.1.21* Good game, but whenever there’s an ad, it freezes and I have to get out and restart the app. I can’t ever get any of the ad rewards for this reason. ### 3/5 — Fun if you like watching tons of ads *2024-11-28* There aren’t any ads in the actual gameplay but you have to watch them to make any sort of noticeable progress towards upgrades. One time it crashed randomly (iPhone 15 pro max, so it’s not my phone) and I lost like 30 mins worth of progress and the stuff I got from the ads I watched. The upgrade all button at the bottom needs to go, I clicked that accidentally and lost a LOT of coins upgrading the wrong world thing. I do like the simplicity of it and play it a lot but I do feel like I’m mostly watching ads… Edit: I’ve paid for the offline collection time 4 times and the past couple days it’s barely giving me any gold when I log in. I was getting an okay amount but now it’s not giving it to me!? Also still haven’t figured out how I’m supposed to even get enough gold to unlock the last room thing. I’ve upgraded everything with the gems and it’s not even helping. I’ve spent thousands and thousands of them and I’m still not progressing. ### 4/5 — Like the game it’s cool *2024-10-04, version 2.1.21* I love the game I used to play it on my old phone but it got deleted but I got the game back just not the data I had but it’s ok to start over ### 4/5 — So ok *2023-12-25, version 2.1.21* It’s a good game but it is time-consuming ### 5/5 — More weapons *2023-12-02, version 2.1.21* This game needs more weapons then 81 because the game is to easy ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!! (WOULD RECOMMEND FOR EVERYONE) *2023-11-11, version 2.1.21* I play this game with my friend on the bus in fourth grade all the time, and my friend just found it on his old phone and was like “ remember this?” and then I said “ OH MY GOD THE MEMORIES” and I immediately downloaded it, and had so much fun. I recommend you this game because I personally enjoy it very much. ### 5/5 — Классная игра. *2023-07-10, version 2.1.21* Соглашусь с отзывами, игра и правда хорошая. Обязательно уберу рекламу. Игра того стоит, чтобы в неё вложиться. Спасибо авторам игры. ### 5/5 — Nice *2023-06-29, version 2.1.21* My friend told me to get it I love how it doesn’t give up ads unless u want something for a ad this game is great I am not gonna write a entire paragraph just that is just great ok :D ### 3/5 — Good *2023-06-04, version 2.1.21* Good thing ### 5/5 — T *2023-04-19, version 2.1.21* Things that I like about this game ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-01-14, version 2.1.21* The best clicker game I ever played. 😌🙏👌 ### 5/5 — Very fun *2023-01-10, version 2.1.21* So much fun when boerd ### 5/5 — fun game pretty addictive in a good way *2023-01-07, version 2.1.21* fun game I like it ### 5/5 — This is a really good game very entertaining *2023-01-05, version 2.1.21* I highly recommend it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Took money *2022-05-16, version 2.1.21* Game took money and didn’t give gems. ### 1/5 — Love the game but new update has a massive flaw *2022-02-19, version 2.1.2* Hope a dev sees this, the game doesn't save your progress correctly, and it's driving me crazy cuz I like this game and just payed to get rid of ads, i wish the progress would save right, i wiped my previous progress deleting the app hoping to fix it, now I gotta start over, please fix the game ### 1/5 — The ads have returned even though I paid for adless *2022-01-23, version 1.9.6* I paid to remove ads. Worked for a while now all the ads are back. Trying to restore purchases doesn't work. All gems have been deleted. It's a scam. ### 1/5 — Purchased gems disappeared! *2021-10-24, version 1.9.5* Enjoyed the game a lot. Made some purchases like remove adds. Also after weeks of playing bought over 10k gems and they disappeared after i spent a very small fraction of them. I suspect legendary runes box was bugged and reset gems to almost zero! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work; developer unresponsive *2021-09-21, version 1.9.5* Purchased “offline earnings” time extensions up to 9 hours but still only get a few minutes’ worth. Developer has not responded to my inquiry. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2021-09-17, version 1.9.5* Just stupid ### 1/5 — Boring, stale, too hard to progress, upgrades are too slow and expensive *2020-02-19, version 1.55* most boring clicker idle game I have ever played, the only way to progress is to wait until I get the merge 1 level higher bonus and it’s random, can’t even purchase it with any currency. I can’t believe a stale game like this has so many good reviews, these are most definitely bought reviews. Also my phone gets hot while playing I hope it’s not some BTC miner or something. (my phone is old could just be that) ### 1/5 — Müll *2020-01-04* If you like watching ads more than playing the actual game, this game is for you **Developer response:** Hi 1seneye! We're sad you feel this way as we designed the game to only have ads in exchange of earning rewards. We never force an ad on a user because we (as players) really don't like it! Thanks for your feedback! ### 1/5 — Sakın indirmeyin *2019-11-12, version 1.55* Oyunla alakası yok ### 1/5 — Yalan reklam *2019-11-02, version 1.55* Reklamlardakiyle oyunun hiçbir alakası yok. Reklamlar zeka kullanmak ve yol açmak üzerine bir oyun gibi gösteriyordu bunu. Ama oyun sadece merge ve idle dan ibaret. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Merge game *2026-08-22, version 2.1.21* Jayson ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-03-20, version 2.1.21* I like how this is a straightforward merge game instead of a super complicated and confusing thing that’s hard to play. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2024-07-28, version 2.1.21* Awesome ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2024-06-10, version 2.1.21* The best game ever ### 5/5 — Super *2024-05-20* Incroyable ### 5/5 — Good *2024-05-08, version 2.1.21* Good ### 5/5 — Dear developer *2024-02-24, version 2.1.21* This game is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2024-01-25, version 2.1.21* No ads and full of fun. Great game for long car rides because of no breaks (no ads). Merge games have always been a fav of mine, and by far one of the best I’ve played. Great job company, anonymous ### 5/5 — This game is so amazing *2023-12-28, version 2.1.21* Thanks for making this game ### 5/5 — ? *2023-12-05, version 2.1.21* Its great but where is the rpg? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
