### 4/5 — A fun game with a slight issue

*2025-05-02, version 1.12.0*

The game is Honeslty really fun, the only problem I face is the screen size, it causes an uncomfortable eye strain with prolonged focus.

### 4/5 — Cần fix lỗi

*2025-04-17, version 1.12.0*

Mỗi lần chơi cứ tới tầm map 7-8 đổ đi rất hay văng, mà văng ra xong k save game. Lại chơi lại từ đầu

### 3/5 — Not worth 20$

*2024-12-22, version 1.11.1*

Love the game fun and creative but 20$ really is a turn off, 10$ is reasonable for a mobile game like this

### 4/5 — Toll aber teuer (Teilweise)

*2024-12-03*

Das Spiel ist der Gut und umdacht ist aber leider sehr teuer deswegen spiele ich es nur in der „Demo“ aber auf dem PC ist es zum Glück wesentlich günstiger, aber für eine kleine Reise komplett ausreichend

### 4/5 — Gioco spettacolare ma correggete il bug!

*2024-11-30, version 1.11.0*

Il gioco è molto carino come roguelite e consiglio, ma sul mio iPadOS 18.1.1 ogni tanto va in crash cancellando la partita in svolgimento. Per favore rimediate perché il gioco merita ma mi sono bruciato un paio di build incredibili! Senza bug è da 5 stelle

### 3/5 — $20 is too much for mobile

*2024-11-28, version 1.11.0*

Like the other reviewers, I tried the game. Very neat idea and was fun. But $20 to play the game past the demo is WAY too much for a mobile game, especially one that hasn’t even been fully optimized from PC to mobile (aspect ratios/buttons are pretty hard to see/click for example). I just don’t understand why the developer chose to charge the game at such a crazy price (for mobile). Bring it down to $5-10 and I think your game would achieve a lot more success/income.

### 3/5 — .

*2024-08-25, version 1.9.11*

Es un increíble juego pero es demasiado car

### 3/5 — Great game but far far too expensive

*2024-05-08, version 1.9.8*

Considering you can buy a AAA game on sale less than this, maybe consider re-pricing the game from £20

Way outside of industry standard pricing

### 1/5 — Miglio gioco…..peccato che….

*2023-10-25, version 1.8.0*

Meriterebbe 5 stelle a mani basse se non fosse per un piccolo problema, crasha continuamente. Non c’è modo di andare avanti, non solo la frustrazione di aver speso soldi ma anche quella di non potermi godere l’esperienza di gioco, risolvete per favore.

### 3/5 — Eh

*2023-10-15, version 1.7.5*

Good game but 20bucks? Just got on pc it’s half the price but if you don’t have one just spend it on more things but if it makes you happy get it

### 1/5 — 起動しない

*2026-06-29*

iPhone14でタイトル画面にすらいけませんでした

### 1/5 — Невозможно купить из России

*2025-01-17*

Хотел приобрести полную версию, тк игра понравилась, но «покупка не может быть завершена»
Спасибо

### 1/5 — £20 is crazy

*2025-01-10, version 1.11.1*

The game itself is good but the price for the full game is nuts. The devs are missing out on a tonne of players and money by making it so expensive. £5.99 and you’d have a solid player base.

### 1/5 — Zu teuer leider

*2024-11-11*

Für mich einfach zu teuer für das was es bietet. Das Spiel Ansicht ist wirklich gut, aber für den preis kauf ich mir kein mobile game

### 1/5 — 19.99

*2024-07-23, version 1.9.11*

20 bucks is crazy

### 1/5 — Demasiado caro

*2024-07-21, version 1.9.11*

Bajen el precio, en las otras plataformas está hasta 10 veces más económico.

### 1/5 — Pricing

*2024-03-16*

Too expensive.

### 1/5 — This app is very bad

*2024-01-24, version 1.9.3*

This is the kind of a game that takes 40 mins to an hour to complete a build, win the game and enjoy the pvp of king of the hill at the end…… except you may crash right at the end after completing your best build ever, killing despot in 2seconds, get all excited to pvp and rank up and boom! It crashes and it did not save your game. Wasted hours on what is a very cool game, only to ultimately deflate me by crashing at the end, with no continue. Don’t waste your money. Very bad.

### 1/5 — BAJEN EL PRECIO

*2024-01-01, version 1.9.3*

En pc vale 1900 pesos y aquí vale 10 veces mas 19.900…

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2023-11-06, version 1.8.2*

Too expensive for a mobile game port from PC

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2026-06-19, version 1.12.1*

I love all the characters, designs and it really creative

### 5/5 — 希望大家都能花十個小時體驗

*2025-09-10, version 1.12.1*

史詩級的遊戲，史詩級的難度。
遊戲很大部分重點在後期和其他玩家對戰，前面12層高難度的地牢只是新手村罷了，因此大部分玩家很難到跟其他玩家比賽的快樂，我覺得很可惜。

### 5/5 — Spaß ohne Ende!

*2025-06-11*

Lasst euch von den negativen Rezensionen nicht abschrecken. Beinahe alle führen ausschließlich auf den zu hohen Preis von über 20€ zurück. Mittlerweile kostet das Game bei weitem nicht mehr so viel und ist jeden Cent wert! Eine Mischung aus Auto-Battler, Slay the Spire und Isaac. Das Spiel hat mehrere Meta-Ebenen und Taktik ohne Ende. Probiert den Anfang kostenlos aus und unterstützt das Studio. Sie sind dafür bekannt, bei genug Support, ihre Games zu erweitern und lange am Leben zu halten.

Konfa Games und tinyBuild liefern auch hier ab 👍🏻

### 5/5 — This game is different

*2025-04-22, version 1.12.0*

For one, this is the only game that feels like a true successor (and evolution) of one of my favorite games, Dragon Force for Sega Saturn. The strategy is deep. Learning other players’ strategies in PvP is super interesting and fun. The aesthetics and sense of humor go a long way. Good job, dev(s).

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-04-14, version 1.11.1*

Demo is grate, but 50zł (around 12 euro) is too much for a mobile game.
In my opinion the entry is too overwhelming and the first thing I wanted to do was uninstall this game with thinking “it’s too complex”. But as I say the game is Amazing, there are some small drawbacks like:
Sometimes touch don’t work like canceling or miss
-placing eq to human
-moving human

### 5/5 — Всё супер, но

*2025-02-25*

дяденьки, сделайте гуманный ценник – хотя бы рублей в 400

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-01-20, version 1.11.1*

I played the demo and it seems to run well on my m2 iPad.  It also works with the track pad on my keyboard, which is a plus.  While I feel like the game itself is worth $20, I already have it on Xbox so I will probably wait to see if I can catch it on sale before double dipping.

### 5/5 — This is crack

*2024-02-20, version 1.9.6*

This game cured my addiction to crack

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2024-01-07, version 1.9.3*

I don't know why this game is so underrated, it is pure gold

### 5/5 — Топ пиксельных игр

*2023-11-24*

Играл на компе игрушка бомба за свой деньги в Стиме, увидел что она и на телефон доступна сейчас посмотрим как она
