### 5/5 — “DONT LET THE FLAME DIE OUT”

*2025-03-12*

Clan Valor will always be remembered. To all my buddies across the world who once played this. Thank you for all the memories and laughter. Juix, I doubt you intended on the community that came with but I hope you don’t let it crash out or get taken over by the people who don’t care. Stop being so anti social lmaoo. There was a good group of us who actually cared but it didn’t seem to play much importance. This is a wonderful game and if you ever need a player moderator again, I’ll be here.

### 4/5 — Glitch

*2024-12-24, version 1.2.7*

This would have been my favourite game if it didn’t keep sending me to the manual screen. Every time I press play it work for a bit but then it starts loading and send me to the loading screen once it happened once it keep happening.

### 5/5 — Vale muito a pena.

O jogo lembra bastante Realm of The Mad God, mas com melhoras, a arte está muito linda, e o jogo te prende bastante, bem traduzido e bem desenvolvido, parabéns a equipe

### 5/5 — Be careful

*2024-10-04*

Games like this make people want to commit suicide, it takes a week or gaming to get some items that are almost impossible to get and then you lose everything in the one thing you looked forward to after work. Yall need to fix this . It makes people want to quit .

### 1/5 — Lack luster

*2024-06-17, version 1.0.16*

It’s cute but the game looks awful. There’s no community so your better off playing Darza Dominion mobile. At least you can cross play PC players. This game needs a lot of work other wise it just a cute little permadeath game when you’re really bored. It be nice if you can add people or maybe even mic.

### 1/5 — Lazy devs

*2024-04-17*

The most frustrating and boring game ever. there is no guide or anything to help anyone. The only way to learn is to fight for stuff you don’t even know is good. this game offers no way to learn by yourself. absolutely a garbage game.

### 1/5 — Server won’t connect

*2024-03-18, version 1.0.8*

Can’t even start playing the game, initializes server then returns to Home Screen.

### 1/5 — Desbalanceado

*2024-02-12*

Se pegar classe melee toma ik pro boss. Se pegar classe ranged fica papel.

### 1/5 — Lag fest

*2023-12-25, version 1.0.3*

Game must be far outside the US, I lagged horribly and uninstalled. Worst connection I’ve ever had in a game

### 1/5 — Unfinished Cash Grab

*2023-12-16, version 1.0.1*

The game offers nothing out of the gate. There are only a few bosses and really that is it. Plenty of options to buy their premium currency though. It’s not fun and people just run around begging for weapons.

### 1/5 — Register

*2023-12-16, version 1.0.1*

Immediately put off by the register. Link to my Apple account or game sync. Why do I have to put in my email twice and a passwords?

### 2/5 — Pls fix bugs crash game😭😭

*2025-03-06*

I can play game😢

### 2/5 — Could use a major revamp.

*2024-04-30*

First off, a big problem everyone agrees with, there is no guide or progression help. you have no idea what you want/need, what leveling up is, mob difficulties, even a guide for the HUD. if you are a hardcore gamer who is quick to learn games this is not it. not to mention how hard the game is by yourself. you are helpless from start to end and when you want to kill bosses they are either almost dead or already dead by the time you get there or even alerted. inform the new users! 
Secondly the map traversal is just horrid. constantly dodging the most weak and strongest monsters just to get from A to B is soul crushing. constantly being slowed down is everyone’s dread. and the mob difficulty makes no sense to me, you have to kill mobs to hardly ever get any good loot. Which makes it super hard to progress for new players, as well as knowing what loot they may drop. 
We should not rely on other players’ knowledge to properly progress. Especially when those players are selfish/trolls.
Bottom line: Add a guide/tutorial, make it easier to get loot. Get rid of the leveling system; honestly I’ve reached max level just to reset my blessings and get one extra slot just to die is mad stupid. I’m not the only one complaining devs. 🤫🧏‍♂️

### 2/5 — Would be so good except for glitch

*2024-03-30, version 1.0.8*

There is a glitch where I can’t pick up any loot from chests and then it crashes and sends me back to main menu

### 5/5 — Rogue-like mmorpg with perma death??

*2026-07-01, version 2.1.6*

its peak

### 5/5 — Born again

*2026-05-27*

se tornou meu jogo preferido atualmente, e é disparado o melhor jogo desse estilo que ja joguei, espero que continue atualizando por muito tempo, tem um grande potencial ainda pela frente, apesar de ter sido lançado relativamente a pouco tempo, tem uma base de fãs muito solida e fiel, por favor, não abandone esse jogo, desenvolvedor.

### 5/5 — MUST PLAY

*2026-05-08*

i was hesitant to try this game because it looked simple from the outside but it is FANTASTIC. the perma death mechanic makes it so emotionally engaging and all the content is very fun. this game has so much potential and deserves much more attention.

### 5/5 — Diamond In The Rough

*2026-05-04*

It feel like I caught the next “big thing” before it goes viral. It is an incredible game that keeps you wanting to come back again and again, without the micro-transactions that make other games unplayable. The progression is exciting, quick, and satisfying - with the permadeath feature maintaining the drive for more. Even with the permadeath feature, you feel like starting over is manageable yet still exciting. I can’t believe I found this game by chance, and not plastered all over the main page. The devs are definitely holding out on the marketing for this game, because if this gets in front of more users it’s off to the races.

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-04-15*

Curti demais a jogabilidade, pena que não tem pvp aberto.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal mmo

*2026-02-05*

An absolutely amazing MMO. The sense of community in this game is great, the discord is full of helpful people, everyone is always very positive and looking to help! The game itself has had a recent large update, changing the game a lot (for the better!) the mods/developers/and even games creator is very active in game at times too and on more so on discord. The game is 100% worth at a bare minimum checking out and giving a chance even if it isn’t your typical cup of tea!

Best of all…… COMPLETELY F2P, I have spent well over 20k hours (hard to admit mobile gamer moment…) on mobile games, and by far, this game has taken the cake for the best MMO on mobile in my book.

### 5/5 — Finally a game with playing.

*2026-02-05, version 2.1.0*

Really a fun game. And lots of players. Please download

### 5/5 — The Best Game

*2026-02-05, version 2.1.0*

The owner Juix is giving admin exclusive hat

### 5/5 — Moon’s Review

*2026-02-04*

Born Again is a fun and relaxing game with a genuinely friendly community that makes it easy to enjoy, whether you’re playing solo or with others. The gameplay is engaging without being stressful, making it a great choice when you just want to unwind and play at your own pace. Overall, it’s a great experience for anyone looking for a chill but rewarding game.

### 5/5 — Five stars Game!,

*2026-01-24*

This game is one of the most fun, yet challenging experiences I’ve had so far! Although the perma-death is painful, gathering the mythic and even exalted items has never been more thrilling! I get an extreme rush when I hear the “ding” of a dropped chest and can’t wait to find more. I explore all of the classes, gear up, and fight! Even once you die, you can recreate, rebuilt, and repeat.
