We are sorry to hear that. If you need help you can write us to the support mail. Thanks!

Amazing game with 1 bug

This is an amazing game with really nice graphics, the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars that it deserves is because of a bug. Every time you power up a kami it kicks you at the game but it still powers it up.

Only 3 villages?

This is a mixed of strategy, RPGs and puzzles type of game, however you don’t match 3. There are 9 squares and you can only kill the enemies in the squares directly beside, above and underneath, you move around the squares to kill the enemies and or pick up potions.

However fun it is, it’s designed to have you spending money to unlock more stuff because the free ones they give you aren’t enough and sometimes gave you pieces to weapons you can no longer upgrade cuz it’s maxed out.

Response from developer

Hi Tyarena. There are 5 worlds instead of 3 (you might have missed the ancient forest and the mountain). The limited number of squares makes every turn very important for your strategy. Also choosing the right Kami pet attack may save your day. Like with pokemon there is some difficulty different deppending on your strategy and the pet you choose at the beginning. Also it is true that you might get useless pieces sometimes, we shall fix that allowing you to exchange them for something interesting. Thanks for your comment!

4 for now

I always hold off for 5 stars because I always get yeeted the more I play some games. So far, this game is unique and challenging enough to be frustrating but fun. Only on second map, so idk, yet. Will say, it costs a bit to get more than 1 Kami AND level it up but so far, doing ok with the one. And there is strategy on how you attack the beasts, which causes you to lose the level if you’re not paying attention, but seeing the “path” isn’t too difficult so far. So, yeah, I’m liking this game at this point!
