not worth it in the long run

this game absolutely cheats, especially during boss levels. when you need to heal, it gives all attack cards. when you need to attack, surprise — all healing.

Love to buy it.

I love that I could just buy the game and play. Hate ads. Hate pay2play.

Fun deck builder

The game is fun and challenging. The artwork is pretty good. I like that there isn’t too much going on. A lot of games bombard you with pop-ups and event after event that’s just too much to keep up with. This game lets you focus on playing a deck building adventure.

The scaling has a drastic jump that lets you know this is actually a business. Adventures take a long time to progress through, so make sure you’ve got more than 10 minutes. Have had a couple issues with revives where cards freeze.

Also, I feel like the two characters are different enough that I shouldn’t have to choose which one to use my keys on. Or it should be fully separated. As it is now, you share all resources between characters, but their equipment and progress is unique. Makes it frustrating having to choose all the time.

I like the Chaotic Tower mode as it lets you build a unique deck to fight with, but to really customize it can get costly—again, business. And the deck is only for that mode (which is fine, just clarifying).

Overall, it’s pretty fun and I have been enjoying the various synergies.

I would love more content

Ive been playing this game for quite sometime. Ive enjoyed playing it but it does get repetitive, Ive bought no ads so Im able to enjoy the game at a different level. The events are great for obtaining loot and the chaos towers are fun but nothing new since playing. No new cards, no new characters, no new game modes. Hopefully they have something new cooking!

Repetitive

This game is so repetitive and slow and has no reason to continue plying after three runs. Using the clash royale system to level up seems good on paper but it makes the game repetitive cause they’re is no strategy involved after the same run over and over again. It should let you unlock cards so I’m not using the same build every run. After 3 runs it’s like why even play this I just did the same run last time so how is this getting any different as I go on

Cool

Can’t wait for more character decks

They listened! And it’s glorious!

A common complaint was how slow gameplay was for Oriana. As Oriana, if I had electric illusions, I would avoid taking fire/ice illusions because the games took too long—not a great user experience. For that and other reasons, I previously rated this game 3 stars. But that’s not an issue anymore. I had hoped they’d speed up the game play, but I didn’t expect them to do it so perfectly. I absolutely love it. In my last review, I implied that the ability to save progress *during a battle* would be needed to make this a 5 star game, but now I think they’ve earned the 5 stars. Very well done. Keep it up.

3rd?

Please give us the third character

Trying free games

It didn’t take long for this game to hit a wall. Too bad, was fun but I refuse to spend money on this stuff.

Ads not playing

Game is fine but you have Ada that is not playing, I get it you need to make money from watching Ads but come on at least make ads playing and not causing my game play to reset because I have to close the apps because you have damn ads that is not playing. Angry customer!!

Decent

I mean for ten bucks you get a hero card rpg that has everything any of the others do and the progression is fairly easy but it rewards you so you dont feel stuck for too long.

Muito bom o jogo

Purchases and progress erased

Bought no ads option awhile ago. Redownloaded it to find all my progress gone sucks but ig I’ll just climb back up

Fun, but slow and annoying

The game is fun, but playing it requires you clear your schedule for the next hour… The 2nd hero, Oriana, has one competitive build: illusions + lightning = extra actions… which is fine. The problem is that when you use it (which you have to if you want to beat anything) the game slows to a crawl. The game engine was written so poorly that the more effects triggered by events (e.g. illusion → elemental debuff), the slower the game gets. Louis can blow through 10 attacks in 3 seconds while it takes Oriana 15. Playing a card and waiting 15 seconds to play another one is excruciatingly painful. It’s as if the turn handler is just a giant loop with a thousand ifs in it that repeats for every buff in play. Do your players a favor: point some AI agent at the codebase for a couple hours and have it fix your game engine (as long as you have thorough test coverage of course). To add insult to injury, the game doesn’t save state during a battle. If the game disconnects for whatever reason (it freezes and you have to close it or you just need to pause), you have to **start the battle over**. This forces users to finish every battle they start, regardless of how long it takes, if they don’t want to repeat it. A massive faux pas in a single player game. Fix those, and this’ll be 4, maybe 5 stars.

I’d play more if it wasn’t so slow…

Freezes

Great game, but after any given level there’s about a 30-40% chance the app just freezes, which makes me have to restart the app. The game will not count the completed level, and will make me replay the level I just cleared

Good game

Not a lot of ads, good quality and a lot of fun

Nada a ver
