### 4/5 — Great game

*2025-03-10*

It’s still a new game and needs some more upgrades, new weapon types new gear and more upgrades to make this an amazing game, right now there’s a lot of in game currency but you don’t need any of that because you can unlock everything in 3 or 4 days. The maps are interesting with their skills and so are the character and weapon pieces abilities

### 4/5 — Good game but

*2025-03-03*

There is definitely room to improve. It was a genuine good game and was fun for the first couple of times but it becomes repetitive because after purple the weapons and armor don’t improve. It is fun but it’s limited at the moment.

### 4/5 — Fun game one issue

*2025-02-27*

A lot of fun to play but once you get purple gear there’s nothing to do with it so I’m just flooded with items I’ll never use and 20 of each. Need a sell system or something

### 4/5 — suggestions

*2025-02-08*

i fw this app i just wish there was more armor and weapons and maybe some type of enhancements after the purple armor yk

### 4/5 — Its one of those iO type games

*2025-02-06, version 1.15*

GREAT, a King with weapons. Moves like a king but with weapons involved. Something which I like. I also like the rogue likeness to it. One thing is that it would be better if the player doesn’t see how the King moves. And it doesn’t hint if the King is in check. It would make the game harder, and make the player actually think. Currently its somehow easy because you just have to move to the green squares all the time. If u have that ‘chance of dropping med’ and there are no green squares just go to the nearest med (green plus sign) and take out the foes.

### 5/5 — W game fr

### 1/5 — Forced to watch commercials

*2025-03-13*

Not playing a game that forces me to watch commercials every 30 seconds. Let me buy the game or bust.

### 1/5 — PLEASE UNDERSTAND

*2025-02-06*

The game is decent. Cool concept. THE ADS ARE SOMETIMES UNSKIPPABLE, and even worse, THEY FORCE LOOP SOMETIMES AND I CANT EVEN X THEM OUT. If I could atleast forfeit the reward and close the ad I’d give 5 stars. I had to close the game to close the app. I won’t open the game again.  I liked it too bro:/ that kind of ads are a dealbreaker to me.

### 2/5 — Goofy ahh knockoff of shotgun king

*2026-04-15, version 1.20*

Jus play shotgun king gng😭

### 2/5 — Fun time waster but has gets boring

*2025-02-22*

The game is alright, not terrible, but just doesn’t have any depth to it, you play the game for an hour or so and you already have all the best stuff in the game(that you dont have to pay for) and theres no room to progress, at least as far as the game shows. So if you want to get better stuff you can only buy it with real money. The power ups you can get are very finite and get very boring to use very fast since there are so few and you cant permanently upgrade them in the menu as you can almost everything else. Other than these thing and some small issues it has it can be a fun game for a few hours and if they actually update and change some things could be an actually pretty good mobile game for your free time.

### 2/5 — Cool game but lost all progress

*2025-02-13*

The app froze at startup asking for app permissions and lost everything when I updated my iOS

### 3/5 — Genuinely Fun

*2025-02-13*

Great game all around. I would rate it higher if there was a way to either get rid of extra gear or be able to upgrade past purple and if there were more levels. I’m on gauntlet 2 have ran out of levels to play.

### 4/5 — Love the game cause it just got released

*2025-04-14*

I have all the mergable items and would love for there to be more stuff. I have a bunch of keys but there is not really a point of opening chests because I have everything I need. Would love to see new items and weapon in the future that can be used though chests. Thank you creators!!!

P.S please add more items I am writing again would love to use my over 500 keys

### 4/5 — Maybe some changes you could consider

*2025-03-14*

I love this game in its entirety, but there is one complaint I have which is the fact that there is barely any armour or any thing. One suggestion I have is to add a skill tree or new different bosses that are very difficult. Other than that the game is perfect and amazing.

### 4/5 — It’s fun

*2025-03-11*

I like the game but I do have one flaw and it’s that every time I play it removes my best weapon

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-21*

I just started, and others don’t know they can uninstall and reinstall to start over again, and no forced ads? Mate your economy is going a bit up, even though it’s a knockoff of shotgun king it’s great, stay this way and just be fixing bugs, good

### 5/5 — Bugs

*2026-04-19, version 1.20*

The game was fun to play but when lost the scene can’t react whether you miss out or watch ads to double

### 5/5 — I LOVE IT

*2026-02-25, version 1.20*

This game is so different from other games, it’s so addictive. There’s even more weapons to play with besides the shotgun! Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Keep creating

Title says it all

### 5/5 — GENUINELY GOOD GAME

*2025-02-03*

First I would love to let anyone concidoribg it, get this game, and a message for the devs. If you see this DO NOT ADD ENERGY what I mean by this is don’t add some stupid thing that limits the amount of times you can play. This is the worst part of a lot of games and this game is perfect without it, just keep doing what you do and I believe I and many other players will enjoy your game for a long time.
