### 3/5 — It was too repetitive at the start

*2025-11-30, version 43 - 1.0.5*

With the villagers and foot soldiers, all I had to do was look at some red arrows and swipe in that direction. Not fun.

### 5/5 — great endless runner

*2025-10-16, version 43 - 1.0.5*

it’s really satisfying to defeat and master the ever increasing roster of enemies in the game as i progress

### 2/5 — Lost potential

*2025-06-21, version 43 - 1.0.5*

It sounded promising but the mechanic of the game is boring and not well implemented. You basically run towards static enemies (that may change later, I donno) and swipe. Swiping works horrible because you either don’t see your character or don’t see enemy because of their size and placement. I deleted it after 15mins of playing. 2 stars for some artwork.

### 5/5 — Good simple game

*2025-06-18, version 43 - 1.0.5*

First time writing a review but I think this dude deserves it, simple but always nice to play

### 5/5 — amazing

*2025-06-11, version 43 - 1.0.5*

omg i love it so much, so simple but complex! i would love if there was an option to invert the y-controls because i want to slash down on the top of someone or slash up under them. amazing game regardless!!

### 5/5 — Really good and not p2w

*2025-04-24, version 43 - 1.0.5*

Genuinely fun and bare minimum ads. Also if you want to completely remove ads and get a bunch of benefits there is a one time 4 dollar payment and it is the only payment in game

### 5/5 — Great Challenge

*2025-02-05, version 43 - 1.0.5*

So many mobile games at this point are just too easy for me. It gets boring. I love the challenge of this game and how difficult it is. And the art. I love a good pixel art game and this one is amazing. The game is simple and easy to pick up. Respect to the guy that made this. Keep up the work brother

### 5/5 — Incredible Game, Challenging but Fair, Little Short

*2025-01-25, version 42 - 1.0.4*

I found this game when I was bored and strolling through the App Store, and expected a cheap, ad filled game, but was pleasantly surprised. While difficult at times, especially the third boss, this game is tons of fun and one ad every 7 deaths is incredibly fair for a free to play game. The controls take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it the timing starts to feel very natural. Overall I really enjoyed the game and hope you add more enemies and bosses to the game, as I think learning the new enemies and challenging yourself with the boss fights is the best part of the game. One small criticism is the flash effect when you kill the reviving skeleton enemy, I understand it is used to make the enemy more challenging but I found it very annoying and made it my least favourite enemy.

### 5/5 — Simple but good

*2025-01-21, version 42 - 1.0.4*

I actually enjoyed this game. It’s simplistic but the game engages you to keep focus. As you level up the game becomes harder and more intense

### 5/5 — Fun challenging game

*2025-01-20, version 42 - 1.0.4*

It’s an endless runner. You swipe the screen with the right timings and you don’t die. Simple but fun and replayable as you aim to beat your previous attempt and unlock new things.
