### 5/5 — One of my favorite phone games as a kid, updated in 2026!

*2026-06-06, version 1.3.1*

I saw that Drancia just got some bug fix and QoL updates and I was so happy! Thank you Drancia developer and team 🙂

### 5/5 — We need a boss rush

*2024-04-06, version 1.2.0*

The bosses in this game are actually really fun to fight so I’d love if there was a mode where we could do that. Just fight them all in an onslaught.

### 5/5 — GREAT GAME

*2022-02-16, version 1.2.0*

THIS IS SO AMAZING
I LOVE DRANCIA
🤯this is the great game
but I don’t like how there is a hard version when you complete game!!
please fix thisbug 
I don’t have much time

### 5/5 — Needs adjustable controls.

*2022-02-15, version 1.2.0*

Literally the left and right buttons are so far in that I had to stretch my wrist to constantly tap them especially the right. Make the controls move able. Cool game though some of my subs request this.

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-03-12, version 1.2.0*

Just writing this in case it unlocks something

### 5/5 — Good game so fun!!

*2021-02-05, version 1.2.0*

This is a really good game :) :) fun!

### 5/5 — Been enjoying it time to time

*2020-08-02, version 1.2.0*

I’ve had this game for several years now, it’s just mindless fun when you need it. Just sit back and enjoy some hack and slash.

### 4/5 — Simple to play, hard to master

*2018-11-15, version 1.2.0*

The game often crashes in bad spots, like after you loop the game or die, causing you to lose progress sometimes. Until this problem is fixed I can’t give the app five stars.

### 4/5 — Non-stop crashing fix plz

*2018-02-19, version 1.1.0*

Very good otherwise

### 5/5 — I love it

*2018-02-07, version 1.1.0*

Dayum this is a good game. This is probably the most addicting mobile game I’ve played in a long time. I just wanted to point one thing out that is a very small issue but it still exists. If you try to buy a sold out item, the game will crash and you’ll be put back to before you bought the item and you’ll get all your gems back, but it still crashes. Great game tho <3
