I just got the game too which is really disappointing ### 3/5 — I don’t really like it *2019-05-04, version 2.3.2* I’m sure a lot of people love this game and everthing but I don’t First of all that 1000 souls thing how do you even get that the informarion way too vague and I keep doing offers to get souls by how many times ive done it i would have about 300 souls and I don’t get any of them and I did a 30m long test and got nothing ### 3/5 — LOWER THE PRICE OF THE STUFF *2019-03-31, version 2.3.2* Amazing game but LOWER DE PRICES yea bye ### 4/5 — Ad simulator *2019-03-05* Still the gameplay is super fun ### 4/5 — Kewl Shadows *2018-12-30, version 2.3.2* So far pretty awesome game it’s all in like a shadow ur character weapons well sword and I love swords so yeah cool game everyone needs to check out ### 5/5 — Gg *2018-07-24, version 2.3.2* Gg ### 5/5 — Dark sword *2018-06-18* Fun game ### 2/5 — Glitch? Please fix *2018-05-08, version 2.3.2* I bought the 180+180 souls twice and i never got the souls idk if its a glitch but it waisted my money and i only have 14 souls which is what i started with i hope you fix this before other people get ripped of by it ### 5/5 — Great. A true concept on what an app is. *2018-04-19, version 2.3.1* Great game. Fantastic art style with the only colour being the element type your holding. Small combat stages and a wanting to perfect the fighting styles with hordes of enemy's ending with boss battles. Perfect for a pick up and play. ### 5/5 — Amazing game, finally! *2018-03-12, version 2.2.1* Thank you! This is a great game, the comic book art style, simple clean screen and concept, you can pay, watch videos or just grind, not forcing anything on you, love this game thank you! Needs to be more games like this. ### 5/5 — Good review *2018-02-24, version 2.2.1* Good game and runs smooth ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2019-04-28, version 2.3.2* Game won’t open, I’ve been playing for like a week now and I just put money into the game yesterday. ### 1/5 — Backup problems and a horrible game of chance *2019-02-27* I had a iPhone 6 that was stolen. I got a 7. Proceeded to restore all my apps from My iCloud. Everything was exactly where I left off, but now I can't save my data. Tells me already in use by another device. Tried to contact their support multiple times and never heard back. It’s been over 15 months and they still have not gotten back to me. I can't even tell you how many souls I've spent ( at this point probably about 50,000) i I have YET to get 1 unique weapon. I have gotten unique gear rings and necklaces but not 1 wep. Thinking this is rigged so you have to spend real money on it. Sorry to say but your "gear" packages are a rip off. Not worth the price point at all. ( ya the ones for $100 are a complete rip off) I like to know what makes you think those packages are worth the prices you charge for them. AAA titles don't break the bank as much as these "free" to plays games are. If it wasn't for the 2 massive problems above it would easily be a 4-5 star game as it is a fun dungeon crawler until you hit pay walls. The pvp is a joke and needs to be reworked completely. To get stones to upgrade your wep tier or your pet be ready to spend a crap load or money or grind for months on end. ### 1/5 — My purchase wasn’t given to me *2018-12-26, version 2.3.2* Just today, I bought the $0.99 starter pack that includes 100 souls, 30 health potion AND no ads forever. However once I bought it, I never got what I bought. Plz give me my paid items ASAP ### 1/5 — Why this game is not working *2018-06-01, version 2.3.2* I cannot open this game on my phone ### 1/5 — It keeps crashing *2018-02-16* Whenever I open the game it crashes after a few seconds, this needs fixing as soon as possible ### 1/5 — Um? A joke? This is pay to play. *2017-10-28* Okay so I’ve been playing this game for a few days, was loving it. But now I can’t even proceed. I’m out of gold, I don’t feel like farming for 10 hours to get some gold just to upgrade gear that’s not even gonna help. This game is a pay to play game at most. Bump up the amount of souls for the money and I’ll consider buying them. But the ads? Seriously? This isn’t a tv show where every 5 mins 20 commercials show. I actually enjoy this game, but it quit giving me daily souls and energy, and now I’m out of gold and I’m not sitting there watching ads for hours or grinding for days when that wouldn’t even help. This needs a change, SOON. 😘💅🏻 ### 1/5 — Energy system *2017-02-22, version 1.6.2* This trend needs to stop. ### 1/5 — l *2017-02-21, version 1.6.2* ask me to login in the game center, and then game was crash, and doesn't move anymore, have to restart ### 1/5 — This is a game??? *2016-03-28* This "game" is not worth anybody's time. The monetization method is absolutely rediculous; the rewards one gets for watching a video at the end of each pitiful level is far greater than the actual reward one gets for actually playing the game. The enrgy bar is standard now, but what isnt is paying premium currency for energy to even refill. So, if one is playing for free, they would have to watch painful adverts, each 30 seconds or more, to refill energy. As one can see, more time is spent advertising other games than actually playing the game. A waste of space and an overall crappy game. I hope mobile game devs do not see this monetization method as viable. ### 1/5 — Nope *2016-03-07, version 1.0* You want to put in a ridiculous customer gouging energy system that forces me to either keep paying real money, watch ads that use up data and time, or be forced not to play, then you get a terrible review. You should have a single purchase to get rid of this game crippling energy system. It's a pretty easy thing to do. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game! *2024-10-03* Love the game and its dark gothic theme played it for a couple years now wish they updated it more though. 👍🏽 ### 5/5 — 🏎️💨 *2023-12-05* I honestly miss when this game was consistently updated and played by many, I used to grind it so often. It’s a classic in my eyes and I tend to just mindlessly sit on it from time to time now, and if you come across this game ever randomly give it a try it’s great. ### 5/5 — I like the app *2022-11-13* Great app ever ### 5/5 — Goodbye *2021-10-09* So many memories ### 5/5 — Absolutely Beautiful! *2021-09-02* I played this game from the age of 7 to 12 and my god was it one of the best mobile games i have ever played im now downloading it just for nostalgias sake ### 5/5 — Not bad... *2020-07-27, version 2.3.4* I like it,pretty good,but I don’t know how people get 1000 souls right off the bat ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-01-14, version 2.3.2* This game has brilliant graciosos and great levels ### 5/5 — Good but some issues *2019-09-14* It’s a fun game I find but from looking at other reviews it does have problems with progression so that could be worked on. ### 5/5 — What a good game *2019-04-27, version 2.3.2* I love this game ### 5/5 — Hey I like it but there is a problem *2019-04-20* I was downloading coin master to get my 700 souls but it didn’t work and I’m a the third village please fix it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
