Prefer this one over the new one (Blade Crafter II) ### 3/5 — Eh *2022-02-15, version 4.20* Game play is ok. Ads required to fo anything. Very much a grinder game. Loses 2 stars because of the lame “mini games” they forced into it as “adventure”. Glad i got to those before choosing to spend any $$. ### 5/5 — Great idle game *2022-02-08, version 4.20* So goouda ### 5/5 — Pretty fun *2021-05-04* Like any idle game this game has endless content and quite an interesting progression with side mini games, bosses etc. The biggest thing is the lack of forced ads. The only ads there are is the ones to get 10 minutes worth of gems or coins. Respect. ### 5/5 — Hello *2020-12-21, version 4.11* Awesome game ### 5/5 — Fun idle game *2019-10-13, version 4.11* Wasn’t expecting much but always willing to give any game a chance. Surprisingly it’s fun! It’s not P2W, but you do have to grind, if you don’t mind! But I’m willing to support a good game and that's what they have here! ### 5/5 — 5 ⭐️ *2019-08-12, version 4.11* Juste pour le s’il te plais ### 5/5 — Surprising *2019-05-30, version 4.03* I’m gonna be honest I wasn’t expecting much but it’s just really fun watching all the swords fly around the screen plus it’s it’s exiting to see what weapon comes next. ### 5/5 — Update? No attention to app? *2019-04-24, version 4.03* I will say, this is the best app I have ever played with such a simple interface. I have at 2-3 friends playing compulsively. However, perhaps trumping that is the disappointment when you get to a certain point (max everything which isn’t that hard). This is one rare game I would actually spend money on..but I’m maxed out. PLEASE update to make my workday easier! You will make money. ### 4/5 — Good Game *2019-03-09, version 4.02* Blade Crafter is a game I can enjoy at home. But I can’t play the game offline without it crashing. It’d be great if I could play with or without WiFi. Also, while I battle, the game randomly crashes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Battle system is excruciatingly boring. *2026-02-15, version 4.27* Yawn… ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-05-03, version 4.25* Open the app and I can’t do anything no matter where I tap ### 1/5 — Crashes seconds after opening *2022-03-21, version 4.20* I played for a while, no problems, now the game just crashes within seconds after opening. I have an iPad Pro lmk if you fix your game ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-02-24, version 4.20* Game black screens and crashes ### 1/5 — Too Addictive *2019-09-23, version 4.11* This game is a black hole of addictive game play. You can (basically) never reach the highest level -10,000 by the way. After trillions goes made up numbers aa, bb, and so on. I wasted my time to get to ff blades around level 5300. Ads are the only way to get somewhere with relative speed. Now ads are 30 and 45 seconds instead of just 15 and 30 seconds. Don't start. It's the most addictive game I've ever played and it's not even fun, especially now. Sigh.... ### 1/5 — It’s broken *2018-12-05, version 3.60* I saw a friend play it and decided to try it. Not even 2 minutes into the game it crashes and now it won’t even launch. ### 1/5 — Fix your beginners pack *2018-03-05, version 1.42* Store add says 600 gems and 100000 gold, but if you click info as if to buy it then says you get only 600 gems and 50000.... So which is it cause I won’t buy to find out! ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2022-04-09, version 4.20* After finally reaching level 100 excited to see what Adventure mode was…..I uninstalled. ### 2/5 — Crash *2018-10-09, version 3.20* Loads on my IPad but crashes to home with the first click. Works fine on Android phone though. ### 3/5 — Fun game lots of crashes *2022-03-19, version 4.20* Fun time waster for sure. There are many bugs that are causing crashes, and all of them seem to be linked to an add reward. Frustrating watching an add during the middle of a run, game crashes, then have to start again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jesus loves *2024-01-25, version 4.27* You ### 5/5 — Good *2022-09-03, version 4.25* Great time waster n great game ### 5/5 — Great game. *2022-07-13, version 4.22* It really sucked me in. ### 5/5 — Idle Games *2022-06-02, version 4.21* This game is enjoyable to play. ### 5/5 — Cute fun game *2022-05-17, version 4.20* It’s exactly what you’d expect, and just a cute, fun game. Weirdly enough, the tutorial stands out from other games. Gives you enough information to get started, but lets you figure out what you need on your own. ### 5/5 — Really enjoyed My experience *2022-05-10, version 4.20* Give it a go! ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-05-07, version 4.20* Game is simple but fun only thing I’d say to improve is the achievement screen doesn’t notify you when you finish a achievement for gems so you have to check after each run ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2022-04-07, version 4.20* Try this game! Very addicting! ### 5/5 — 🤝 *2022-04-04, version 4.20* Only writing this because the game asked me to, but that still says a lot because I never do this typa thing. Good game, pretty challenging, not a ptp at all. Lots of fun,I recommend to download. ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-03-31, version 4.20* On level 100 and I’ve enjoyed the con per so far! Don’t know how late game will be but I’m excited for it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
