Great game play, fun enemies, great challenges...but the 300 star boss is impossible to beat! Ive almost completely upgraded everything to the max and still cannot go further. It feels impossible. ### 3/5 — Archer Crusade *2016-04-12* It's a pretty fun game but archers are obscenely overpowered. I'm in the 5th sector and I still can't beat archer armies in the third sector without massing archers in my own army ### 4/5 — Updated needed *2016-01-14, version 1.1.6* Need the update for more levels please! ### 4/5 — I like it *2015-12-14, version 1.1.6* I wish there was more to play but it's still really fun ### 3/5 — Dec 4th update just causes crashes *2015-12-12* Was fun. Newest update needs to fix crashes and save progress. Will wait a bit to play again. ### 2/5 — Cute, but full of bugs *2015-12-12* This is a cute variation on the match-3 clones, adding in battle strategies....but man, these devs did NOT playtest at all. Spells continually misfire; they don't cast where you tap, or they cast in the upper left corner as soon as you tap the spell icon to cast it. The match-3 part is slow and unresponsive -- it takes several tries before a requested move will register and perform. On top of that, the low levels have requirements for certain levels that you can't complete unless you some very-higher-level spell or warrior. On top of THAT, the options don't stay set. Every time I open the game, I have to go in to turn sound back on -- Every. Single. Time. Edit: as of last update, sound options don't work at all. Nice job, devs. It's a nice game, but the devs need to put more attention on playtesting and bug squishing.. It does not deserve featured status on the Store. ### 3/5 — progress & rewards disappear *2015-12-08, version 1.1.5* after the last update progress & rewards earned disappear every time you stop playing. This makes it pointless to play the game. ### 3/5 — Great game but... *2015-12-08, version 1.1.5* CAN'T SAVE! Please fix it ### 3/5 — Please fix the issues soon! *2015-12-07, version 1.1.5* Doesn't save progress, this is so upsetting because I love this game! ### 3/5 — New update created a LOT of issues *2015-12-07, version 1.1.5* Game is fun but lots of bugs still to be worked out ### 3/5 — Won't progress *2015-12-06, version 1.1.5* Broken game now. Won't save progress, takes more crystals than purchase states and awards so few crystals compared to last version. Was ok but not worth the bother at the moment. ### 3/5 — Ok *2015-12-06, version 1.1.5* There is nothing really special or different here, just more matching types to get the best score. When you achieve the goals for the level the playing area starts flashing and going crazy, I'm not sure if this is intentional to slow people's bonuses but it's very distracting. ### 2/5 — Still has many bugs *2015-12-06, version 1.1.5* Deletes progress and hero skills appear randomly at times ### 3/5 — Progress Keeps Getting Erased *2015-12-06* This game has been really fun so far! I love the different elements that have been integrated. I would be a bigger fan if the game didn't keep erasing some of my progress, including setting me back from 100+ stars earned to 88, getting rid of a spell slot I unlocked on one hero, and taking me back on the map. This has happened the last 3 times I've played. I'm to the point where playing isn't worth it because I know my progress won't be saved. ### 2/5 — The new update crash a lot and delete the progress *2015-12-05, version 1.1.5* The new update crash a lot and delete the progress ### 4/5 — Great game *2015-12-05, version 1.1.5* Since update game no longer saves progress. Also parcels appear on battlefield regardless of selected power up. Game crashes on completion of one of the levels near the 300 star gate (2 to the left of it). Pointless playing until save is fixed. A refreshing spin on the tile swap style game. Good elements to maintain interest, making the game far more enjoyable than candy crush and the like. Different challenges for each level to earn stars, which enable you to progress to new areas. Gold is given for good scores, which you can use to upgrade your troops, heros and spells. The adverts are non-intrusive, offers appear occasionally to watch a video to gain extra time or army power, but so far no pop ups. How refreshing! Overall a fun game,plenty of levels and things to unlock. Well done developers! ### 4/5 — Great but needs stability improvements *2015-12-05, version 1.1.5* Great game and great mechanics but every time I exit the app I lose like 30 mins of progress so I can't advance keep in mind I'm on iPad Air 2. Many of my friends have this app and they don't experience this problem but their on older devices Please fix this I really enjoy playing this Thanks ### 3/5 — Buggy *2015-12-04* It crashes too often to make it enjoyable to play, I'm stuck on a level and it's the only one for me to advance in the game ### 3/5 — Great game, but buggy *2015-12-02* This is a great game, until you load it and it starts you back at the beginning. Luckily I didn't make any in game purchases. Could be 4-5 stars if they fixed this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not saving *2015-12-09* Great game. Very fun to play. However after putting time into the game several times now. It always reverts back to a previous save file or does not save at all. Will pick back up once fixed. ### 1/5 — Doesn't save progress *2015-12-06, version 1.1.5* Game is great but since the last update, progress isn't saved once you leave the app, so basically you have to start over everytime. No way to report this except through the reviews... ### 1/5 — Further Issues *2015-12-06, version 1.1.5* After initial issue regarding IOS 7 was rectified, I played through the first few levels. Thought it was a pretty decent game but frustrated again due to the fact that, as mentioned by another user, the game does not save my progress so I have to start over from the beginning again. Previous review: "As suggested by other reviews, cannot proceed past speech bubble prior to first level. Assume it is owing to screen size on iphone 5." ### 1/5 — Worst game ever so bad that you can't even do the first level *2015-12-04, version 1.1.3* You cannot do the first level and old mAn comes up and says stuff and then tells you to tap the quest board to start the mission but you cannot press it or press anything else on the board fix this pls so I can actually play beacuase games are meant to be played ### 1/5 — Got problems *2015-12-03* Game is fun but has many issues. I had spent 20$ for in game currency when the game started crashing so I deleted the app and reinstalled it where I lost everything I purchased. Spent more money for more medallions and when I purchased a new spell slot it used all of them so basically I'm out 50$ ### 1/5 — Whyyyyyyyy😣😣😣 *2015-12-02, version 1.1.3* I download the game and just as everyone else did the same thing happen ### 1/5 — Game bug. *2015-12-01, version 1.1.3* When you open the app for the first time and get through the person talking to you, he asks to click on the first level. When you do, he asks you to click on the level badge, which he is blocking with his speech. ### 1/5 — Why *2015-12-01, version 1.1.3* Crazy cloud guy won't move in the beginning ### 1/5 — Can't even play!! *2015-12-01, version 1.1.3* I load up the game and the first instructions are to hit something that's off the screen. Totally unplayable. ### 1/5 — Tutorial *2015-12-01, version 1.1.3* Cant play 'cause the cloud guy blocks the screen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cannot pass the gate 300 *2020-02-06* Hi now come I play the game many times but cannot pass through the 300 gate can you show me how to go pass ..? ### 5/5 — Fun game!! *2016-01-06* I love it so much, I want to play more! I wish they'd update & give new levels. I've completed all that's there & all my characters are at their max. It's very buggy--game crashes frequently, sound is on even though I've turned it off, etc. Last, it needs a help screen to give explanations or FAQs or whatever. ### 5/5 — Great att *2015-12-11, version 1.1.5* Greatttt ### 5/5 — Torus is still alive!!! *2015-12-06, version 1.1.5* I loved your game boy games and I still play them to this day stay strong guys and girls of torus <3 ### 5/5 — No longer saves progress *2015-12-05, version 1.1.5* Since the last update I cannot progress any further in the game. Any stars won or levels finished are rolled back next time the app is opened. I really enjoy the game and hope this can be fixed soon. ### 5/5 — Very Well Done *2015-12-02* Amazing game, good graphics, no bugs found yet, amazing design. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-12-01, version 1.1.3* free, no ads, doesn't make u buy in app purchases but still has the option. fun game which doesn't make u wait 15min to play 5 seconds like most games these days 5 stars highly recommend ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2015-12-01* Downloaded this game prior to the thanksgiving holiday and have been playing it the last few days as much as I can. Hasn't crashed on my yet, I've unlocked 3 heroes and my troops are in the mid-teens in level. Also have not had to spend any money on this game as levels are re-playable! 😁 ### 5/5 — Fun *2015-11-29, version 1.1.3* This game is very entertaining and worth the download the game is addicting ### 5/5 — A fun new way for Crystal matching *2015-11-28* This has made crystal matching fun again..I can't wait to see more to the this game it has alot pf potential downloaded now --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
