### 5/5 — ⛽️

*2026-05-03*

Just as I remember

### 4/5 — Enjoyable

*2023-11-18*

I enjoyed the game for the most part, but once you get the resonant bard class and a solid damage dealer, all challenge dissipates.

### 1/5 — Dull & boring

*2021-12-22*

No substance, no value, no entertainment. ‘Nuff said.

### 5/5 — I don’t know why this game have a low review

*2020-08-10*

I found the game pretty good. Not too much grinding, good story and collectible heroes
Would be even better if the enhancements heroes stats could be brought even after evolve the hero

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2019-03-22*

Very basic controls but very fun to play it’s highly addictive .. would suggest it... if you’re not playing other games

### 4/5 — Good game

*2018-11-21*

If the company can, can you guys please make a translator for the register that keeps our file saved because I want to have everything I had completed saved, but I can’t read the steps for registering for an account.

### 5/5 — 100%

*2017-07-08*

great game

### 5/5 — Good game

*2017-06-29*

Loving it so far, no waiting on energy but the grind is neccesary to progress. Tons of "classes" give good flexability to your group allowing for some cool strats.

### 3/5 — Good game!

*2017-03-03*

It's a simple version of the RPGs we use to play in the 90's.

### 4/5 — Great game, only...

*2017-01-29*

I love this game, it's a lot of fun and everything that's been put into it will keep my interest for a good amount of time I have one thought that would make the game more fun and it's very simple add more classes, Normal and Special it would make the game last longer. All the classes look really cool I'm sure more cool ones could be made. Thanks for making a good game, keep it up.
