### 5/5 — Best game ever!

*2025-11-11, version 0.5.17065*

I have been playing this game for a while and have now seen that it’s being removed from Netflix. This saddens me and I hope it’s just a departure from Netflix and not the game itself. This game has so much potential but we need someone to give it the updates and content we need! Please keep this game around! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

### 5/5 — Someone save this game !!!

*2025-11-11, version 0.5.17065*

As someone who has played this game for over 10 years, I would love to see Dungeon Boss game go back to the BossFight team where it rightfully belongs. And I invite any one on their team to join the Guilds of Ice & Fire Discord to talk with the many players in our guild family who love this game. Talk to the Infinite guilds and the Hooligan guilds. The beauty of this game is its community. Many of our players have been around for a lot of years. Lots of them say it was such a huge part of their childhood. Pass it on to someone who cares.

### 2/5 — It feels like I am not gaining power fast enough.

*2025-11-02, version 0.5.17065*

I might be missing something but I am only on world 4 and the enemies are out pacing me by so much. I find myself having to grind lower level dungeons dozens of times to catch up. The worst part is that evo items almost never drop so I’m behind in both levels and star rating.

### 5/5 — Ready for Updates

*2025-11-01, version 0.5.17065*

I genuinely love this game. Played it a lot with my sister like 7 years ago. Was super bummed out when they took it of the play store. But now, I am overjoyed that it’s back. Just waiting to see all the characters to come back

### 3/5 — Dungeon Boss Respawned

*2025-11-01, version 0.5.17065*

The game can be a lot of fun…for a time. Then the developers stop updating the game. That leaves those of us who are advanced with little to do and less incentive to play.

### 4/5 — Fun, Good Grindy Play, But…

*2025-10-09, version 0.5.17065*

It needs content, badly. I suppose the trade-off for no IAPs is a real lack of incentive to do any updating. After playing a couple weeks, 3-starred all dungeons available, but there’s no hard mode. Of course, Netflix’s update descriptions on the app page are beyond useless, so there’s no indication if new content has ever, thus will ever, be added. Foolish to not communicate to players. If you don’t love PvP (as I don’t), there’s nothing to do fairly quickly. That said, the game is fun, looks great, and has a distinct tone, all holdover from Boss Fight’s original release.

### 4/5 — Good, but repetitive

*2025-10-02, version 0.5.17065*

They used to launch new events too keep the game interesting, but rarely do that any more.

### 5/5 — DBRespawned

*2025-09-27, version 0.5.17065*

Great game for mobile /cell allowing multiple objectives and stories

### 5/5 — What else would I dooo

*2025-09-25, version 0.5.17065*

This is so good I recommend it. There already is so many different heroes I just wished there were more characters. 👍

### 3/5 — Entertaining

*2025-08-15, version 0.5.17065*

Not bad for a small game. Keeps you interested and achievements reachable

### 2/5 — Missing tons of gameplay

*2025-08-09, version 0.5.17065*

This game is unfinished. Not only did they remove the original version of the game and removed everyone’s progress, they also took out half of the game. The extra islands? Gone. Half of the heroes? Gone. Epics? Gone too. My rating will go up once they add back everything we loved about the original.

### 5/5 — A future update

*2025-07-31, version 0.5.17065*

Will you add more content and more heroes to the game

### 5/5 — Highly recommend recommended - no pay to win

*2025-07-27, version 0.5.17065*

This is the first mobile game I’ve played in a long time with satisfying progression and no pay to win. Most people have Netflix like myself. Please continue to support this game.

### 2/5 — Dear Netflix Games / Boss Fight Entertainment Team,

*2025-07-14, version 0.5.17065*

I’m writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration over how the transition from the original Dungeon Boss to Dungeon Boss: Respawned was handled.

I invested countless hours — and a significant amount of money — into building my account, developing my heroes, collecting skins, and supporting this game over the years. Like many loyal players, I did so under the assumption that my progress and purchases would retain lasting value within the game’s ecosystem.

To see all of that wiped away with the original server shutdown, and replaced by a fresh start with no option to carry over my purchases, feels like a profound breach of the trust and loyalty I had placed in your team. The small loyalty code offered simply does not reflect or compensate for years of commitment, enjoyment, and financial support.

I understand the technical and business reasons behind the move to Netflix’s platform. However, as a paying player who helped support this game from its early days, it’s incredibly disheartening to know my investment was ultimately so temporary — and now simply gone.

I hope your team recognizes the impact this has on long-time fans. At minimum, I’d like you to acknowledge this concern, and perhaps consider more substantial loyalty programs, restoration packages, or goodwill gestures for veteran players who built the community that made Dungeon Boss successful enough to continue under the Netflix banner.

Thank you for taking the time to hear me out. I genuinely loved Dungeon Boss, and this situation is truly heartbreaking.

### 1/5 — What does leaving Netflix soon mean?

*2025-11-11, version 0.5.17065*

This is a cryptic message. Does this mean the game will get shutdown? Continue running? Is it even worth playing at this point?

### 1/5 — Why?

*2025-11-09, version 0.5.17065*

Was a good game, why restrict it to Netflix subscribers?

### 1/5 — Dungeon Boss

*2025-10-28, version 0.5.17065*

Needs more of the features from previous version such as more islands and challenges. At the moment once you’ve completed the islands then there’s nothing to do but to repeat them to try and evolve the characters you already have. Change everything back to the way it was please! Not enough events. Too hard to upgrade the rarer characters. Thinking of quitting the game unless changes are made.

### 1/5 — Garbage.

*2025-10-08, version 0.5.17065*

Absolute garbage. Closed off the og game and forcing people with Netflix of all things to play more garbage?

### 1/5 — Netflix

*2025-06-29, version 0.5.17065*

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUDGE, NOW YOU CANT EVEN SIGN IN WITHOUGHT PAYING FOR A FRIKING NETFLIX SUBSCRIPTION. I loved this game but now it’s nothing but a waste land…

### 1/5 — Why Netflix

*2025-06-25, version 0.5.17065*

Why do I need Netflix just to play this game i used to play this game on my iPad and Netflix just wants you to sign in and have a subscription so stupid if o could 0 I would

### 1/5 — NETFLIX I HATE YOU

*2025-06-11, version 0.5.17065*

I played the original game, I got good heros, i got up to a good lvl, Then, THEN you decided to buy the game and make it chitty. THIS WAS MY [BLEEP]-ING CHILDHOOD BRUV. WHY DID YOU [BLEEP]-ING RUIN IT?! I [BLEEP]-ING HATE YOU [BLEEP]S YOU [BLEEP]-ING RUINED IT.

### 1/5 — Latest update full of bugs

*2025-05-26, version 0.5.17064*

The latest update is full of bugs but Netflix doesn’t care about user experience or game quality so I guess it’s just trash for the sake of trash

### 1/5 — Game broken after update 05/21/25

*2025-05-22, version 0.5.17061*

Game stopped working after Devs sent out latest update

Perhaps one of the best games Netflix offers but with only a portion of the original content. Popular but going stale too fast. Please help

### 1/5 — Lost All Progress

*2025-05-15, version 0.5.17061*

I played the original and when they changed the app all of my progress was deleted with no way to get it back. What a joke

Plz

### 5/5 — Please keep the game going!

*2025-12-06, version 0.5.17065*

This game is so fun and addictive. The community is still strong. Please don’t let it die! I’d spend money on this game

### 5/5 — SAVE THE GAME!

*2025-12-01, version 0.5.17065*

Been playing this game for years now. I’ll really miss it if it’s discontinued. If it had updates people would play. “If you build it, they will come”

### 5/5 — I’ll miss this game man

*2025-11-30, version 0.5.17065*

.

### 5/5 — Please don’t gooooooo

*2025-11-26, version 0.5.17065*

The first turn-based RPG I’ve ever played. Just recently started playing again as the only mobile game I play and I’d hate to see it go.

### 5/5 — Save The Game

*2025-11-24, version 0.5.17065*

This game is goated please save it is the best and I have been playing for a long time. Please save it!

### 5/5 — SAVE

*2025-11-18, version 0.5.17065*

Please save the game!

### 5/5 — Save the game

*2025-11-17, version 0.5.17065*

This is a wonderful turn based game with a great art style and fun mechanics. Netflix vastly improved the game and its quality of life by removing all pay to win features. I do hope that the game is not being shut down but instead simply departing from Netflix as this game has the potential to maintain a loyal player base for years to come. Don’t let this game die.

### 5/5 — SAVE THE GAME!!

*2025-11-15, version 0.5.17065*

As a long time veteran of the previous version of this game, and a fairly recent player of this version, I can very strongly say that this game has so much charm and potential, and I have loved all the years spent playing it. With proper care and frequent updates, I believe this game can live on with a thriving community for many more years to come. And the best part? ITS NOT PAY TO WIN!! Hearing that this game may be gone forever at the hands of Netflix, I’m heartbroken. This may not mean much to you, but give it a try and show your love and support for the game. Maybe good karma will come from it all, and save the game.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-11-12, version 0.5.17065*

I love this game and the old version I wish this game get the love it deserves
