### 3/5 — Ok game, needs more

*2021-01-25*

I really like the concept of the game, and it is fun to play. However after a few days or so it is very easy to pass and after a week it’s deleted. 
  Good for children, not adults.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2020-09-18, version 1.2.7*

Fun affordable game for the ios. Unfortunately it can be a tad buggy but it’s usually not game breaking. I think it’s a little misleading, easy mode should be called normal and normal mode in the game should be called hardcore mode. Fix that, the bugs, and the ending and I’d change my rating to 5 stars.

### 3/5 — DLC makes my game crash

*2020-06-28*

The game is great as far as polish and game play. Super fun with lots of replay value, I was so excited after playing through a few times and bought the DLC...
There were no issues with the DLC the 1st time I entered the necropolis... but afterward anytime I try to enter, the game crashes and now I can pretty much play the game without the necropolis, which sucks because I paid for it...

### 4/5 — Good game with freezing glitch

*2020-04-29*

The game plays really well and gives a challenge! I really appreciate that each decision will affect you in the long run. 

I do have an issue where any time I have a notification pop up on my phone, it freezes the game and has to reset back to the last auto save 😬

iPhone XR on iOS 13

### 3/5 — Fun but not perfect

*2020-02-27*

I did really like this game but calling it an rpg is incorrect. It has the battle mechanics of like a banner saga ( which I like) but there are no role playing mechanics. The armor/weapons are all the same in terms of how you upgrade, only ability to customize is in gems with different perks. You can’t change how the armor/weapon looks. Also your main character is always a warrior, you can change some of his abilities but you can’t make him an archer or mage.  You have to choose which companion is good at which task despite the companions never talk or interact with you so I have no idea how you would know one is good at singing and one is good at chess besides googling. The companions don’t talk to you and have no interaction.  All the other “choices” are search the cave/hut or whatever for 9 hours and get more stuff or search the cave for 2 hours and get less stuff. 

Normal is too hard for relaxing play, which is what I want in a phone game. If I want something stressful/intense I’ll play a fully fledged PC game. But easy is too easy to be rewarding. It’s that ridiculous easy let’s you skip end of level bosses. Normal should be hard and there should be an actual normal difficulty level. 

Lastly, when I finally finished the game on normal ( which is harder than it sounds because of permadeath and items/XP not transferring to new character) the game cut out so I didn’t even get to see the ending, and not enough people play so I could easily find spoilers about ending online :(

### 2/5 — Spielspass geht schnell verloren

*2019-12-30*

Zu schwer, selbst unter leicht. Ausserdem stürzt es bei der Nekropole immer ab

### 2/5 — Crowntakers

*2019-12-26*

I REALLY want to like this game.... but it just crashes WAY too often, sending you back multiple moves (sometimes multiple battles). 
Since it hasn't been updated for 2 years now, and with the amount of other players bringing this issue up, I really doubt the devs care about it enough to even attempt to fix it. 
You'd be better off spending your money in the AppStore on something that actually works like it's suppose to.

### 4/5 — Fun but short

*2019-12-14, version 1.2.7*

Finished the game too quickly and it left me wanting more! I hope the developers awaken from their slumber in Necropolis and come up with more updates.

### 3/5 — Good game, tedious crashing

*2019-10-11, version 1.2.7*

Fun, short game with lots of replayabilty value, but it crashes all the time, especially just after killing a boss (meaning you have to kill it again). Super annoying, but gameplay is still addictive enough to keep me playing.

### 2/5 — Buggy and too difficult

*2019-08-17, version 1.2.7*

Game keeps crashing every time I try to sell something. It’s far too difficult to progress even on easy: you need money to progress your characters either with weapons and armour or simply to buy food to heal them. There simply isn’t enough money. By stage 4, it’s far too difficult. Save your money and stay clear.

### 5/5 — Great game with great mechanics

*2019-08-02*

The game is great I love the art style and fighting mechanics.  Turn based strategy very cool.

Honestly I find normal difficulty too hard.  I could get to stage 4 but there just weren’t enough items / gold to get by.  Gold seemed always in short supply.

Anyway easy is fun and more progressive.  Game is like Heroes of Might and Magic, good stuff!

### 5/5 — Achtung: Kann süchtig machen

*2019-07-25*

Man braucht ein paar Durchgänge aber dann hat man den Bogen raus und mit etwas Glück kommt man zum Ende :-)
Immerhin levelt man seinen Helden auf Stufe leicht hoch, so dass sich jeder run nachhaltig lohnt.

### 3/5 — Excellent vraiment ! Mais extension numéro !

*2019-06-05*

Un système de jeu que j’adore en tout par tour vu pas le dessus a la heroes of might and magic 2 ! 
Excellent et difficulté bien dosé au début.
Assez court tout de même je me suis laissé tenté par l’extension à presque 4 euros , et la 
.....
Tellement déçut ! Juste un niveau en plus !!!!! Merci pour l’arnaque quand même !!

### 1/5 — 简体中文文本展示有问题

*2025-10-04, version 1.2.7*

非常多简体中文文本展示为"?"，希望能尽快修复

### 1/5 — Dont buy it

*2023-11-26, version 1.2.7*

I buy the game then the dlc but whenever I try to go to necropolis the game crashes so dont pay for this

### 1/5 — needup

*2023-04-09, version 1.2.7*

cant buy add

### 1/5 — Excellent game; Crashes in Necropolis

*2021-06-24*

One of my favorite games, but it crashes when entering the Necropolis, which is a shame.  I think the devs are no longer supporting the game, so we won’t get a fix.

### 1/5 — Mi pento

*2020-06-27, version 1.2.7*

È abbastanza frustrante, si muore molto facilmente e bisogna ricominciare ogni volta tutto dall’inizio, mi é passata la voglis di giocare dopo 3 tentativi.

### 1/5 — WTF

*2019-08-20, version 1.2.7*

I died after 2h playing, and game start from begining? I saved game maby 5 times, but no “load” in menu. Uninstall/waste time.

### 1/5 — Necropolis crash

*2019-06-04, version 1.2.7*

Playing on iPhone X.  I have been to necropolis twice in previous runs, but now it crashes every time I try to go there.

### 1/5 — Terrible bugs in this game

*2019-05-05, version 1.2.7*

Game looks and feels great but is so buggy literally is unplayable due to crashing every 5 minutes.

### 1/5 — Totally broken pacing

*2019-04-09, version 1.2.7*

Can’t survive past the second or third zone, no matter what I do. There is absolutely no way to win; there aren’t enough options that early to have an actual strategy.

### 5/5 — Dauerbrenner

*2026-02-26*

Ich spiele Crowntakers seit Jahren. Es wird nie langweilig. Man kann sich auch selbst Ziele setzen, z.B. keinen Treffer abzubekommen oder mit einer bestimmten Anzahl von Tränken die Runde zu beenden. Für mich das beste Spiel auf meinem IPad.

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem

*2023-04-14, version 1.2.7*

Great game!

### 5/5 — Нормальная игра

*2021-05-19, version 1.2.7*

Это хорошая, простая игра. Но именно игра, а не типичная гриндилка как почти все на мобилках. Стоит своих денег, буду следить за проектами разрабочиков дальше

### 5/5 — Vale a pena sim

*2021-04-25*

Eh legal, vc não customiza os personagens mas pode formular estratégias, o negócio do jogo eh mais pegar pra zerar ele mesmo, gosto de jogos onde perder eh divertido também

### 5/5 — Richtig gutes Taktisches RPG

*2021-01-19*

Macht mega Spaß das Game...in sich komplett schlüssig...knackig hat mich gut gefesselt. Schön wär nen Update mit ner Schwierigkeitsstufe

### 5/5 — Très bon RPG tactique solo

*2020-11-09*

Franchement, une très bonne surprise qui est encore complètement d’actualité malgré les années. Il s’agit d’un jeu de rôle solo à mort permanente, avec des combats tactiques qui rappellent de bons souvenirs.
Finir le jeu une fois en mode normal m’a pris une dizaine d’heures. La difficulté est bien dosée, abordable pour les vétérans des RPG tactiques et sûrement assez ardu pour les novices d’où l’intérêt du mode facile.
À ce jour je n’ai rencontré aucun bug gênant. Vu le prix aucune raison de ne pas tenter l’aventure !

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2020-02-07, version 1.2.7*

A light, straight forward tactical rpg.   Two tips to help the newbies, one - when you kill an enemy you get an action point back, two - use your potions!   Minor follow on point, keep eating food to restore HPs.

### 5/5 — One of my favourite RPGs

*2020-02-02, version 1.2.7*

Intuitive, easy to play and has great replay value. Would love to see a sequel!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-11-29*

Bug-free game play on my iPhone 7. Even with the expansion, which was causing problems on my iPad with iOS 11. So all good at this point on iOS13 and really enjoying the game to its fullest. 

Yeah, awesome turn-based game play. Zoe can be a bit overpowered, but a lot of fun to have her on the team.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-10-05*

De prime abord nous sommes un peu perdu.
Mais les mécaniques de jeu sont terribles.
Ce jeu est super addictif
