### 4/5 — It is a 5 star level game, but it needs more detail and description.

*2026-08-16*

I would have rated this game 5 stars, but what bugs me the most is how they don’t describe exactly what each effect does such as attack speed, health regen, and lifesteal. We don’t know how long the default attack speed is, and we don’t know exactly what many of the effects like health regen and lifesteal do. It would be cool if there was a specific number for how often you attacked and how much you heal per each attack and how much you heal per second instead of just listed affects for each person. It will be a lot easier to figure out if you can beat someone else in a battle. Also it would be cool if instead of just a list of server power rankings, you could have a world power rankings too.

I hope these changes could be made but they will never read my review so I am just ranting into nothingness.

### 4/5 — Redo the offensive language moderator

*2026-08-15, version 2.8.2*

You have a player within the game called GoofyRogue1223 repeatedly saying the n word by spelling it out and isn’t getting banned. I have screenshots to prove it as well

### 3/5 — Tooooo Slow Paced

*2026-08-13, version 2.8.2*

I usually play games for a few hours and I rlly enjoy this one. However, since progress in it is so slow. Just ruins to love and fun I have for the game

### 2/5 — Neat, but issues

*2026-08-11, version 2.8.2*

I’ve been playing a while now. My power is about 6.8M I am losing to others with a power level of 4.2M. Seems rigged. I also lose missions that are way below my level as well.  

It’s just a time waster but it makes me angry that it doesn’t play fair. 

Also there seems to be almost no way to obtain in game currency by grinding. Once it’s spent no more unless a server issue occurs. 

Overall given the frustration and in ability to grind for IGC I would recommend avoiding this game.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-08-11, version 2.8.2*

Very slow once you get a few levels in. Off line play is slower than Christmas. Upgrades are very expensive if you choose to buy them and they do practically nothing unless you spend 100 dollars a pop.

### 4/5 — Colour Text

*2026-08-09, version 2.8.0*

Game is good for meeting new friends and joining clans. Good amount of content and various ways to play.

My only real gripe is that some players use hex code in chat to spam bright coloured text and it really hurts my eyes. If the devs patch that out, I’d rate the game 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Bewertung

*2026-08-08*

Es ist ein sehr unterhaltsames RPG Spiel . Allerdings vergebe ich den fünften Stern nicht , weil es sehr lange dauert, den Schmied zu verbessern

### 4/5 — New idea??

*2026-08-05, version 2.8.0*

This game is AMAZING I play it every day but one thing is the wait of progressing n stuff like yeah it’s an idle game anyways right I have an idea I think in clans they should add a feature where others can give others hammers like a max of 10-20 hammers per day or something like that idk and they should add new mini games yk the stepping stones they should add something like BIG BOSSES and you can have up to 3-4 people in them kinda like clan missions but you get a special item like an item can drop and and they have percentages of what item drops but so far this game is amazing and I love it all the games these devs have made are good especially Eatventure.

### 3/5 — Target Switching At Melee Range

*2026-08-04, version 2.8.0*

Needs to be patched.

### 4/5 — Gacha game

*2026-08-04, version 2.8.0*

This is like the cookie dough ice cream version of a gacha game. There isn’t much pay2win mechanics, but gives you what you want and need from a gacha game. I have to give credit where it’s due, it’s a game you would expect to cram ads in everywhere they could, but don’t. It’s very refreshing to play a game that respects your time and playing the game to not force you to watch ads against your will for their profit.

### 5/5 — Truly wonderful

*2026-08-03, version 2.8.0*

At first glance, this seems like any other boring old mobile game with horrible monetization in exchange for no ads, but the game is still really enjoyable as a free to play.

### 4/5 — its alright

*2026-08-03, version 2.8.0*

takes a while to get through anything major like good equipment and ranks but it can be fun when your clan collaborates during wars or missions together

### 2/5 — Seems to be a lot of cheating

*2026-08-03, version 2.8.0*

How at 4M power do you lose to people at 2.5M power? This is ruining the game for me. It’s one thing to lose at 4M vs 3.5+ but come on.  Yes it’s just a janky iOS game but will never get a dime out of me over what seems to be cheat fest.

### 1/5 — UI

*2026-08-12, version 2.8.2*

The method of equipping and selling is not joyful. Also, there are pay offers which glow on the screen and cannot be removed. Worse than ads, to have them begging for money the entire game.

### 1/5 — Stepping Stones

*2026-08-10, version 2.8.0*

Stepping Stones is a complete waste of time. Complete!

### 1/5 — Chat is a racist cesspool

*2026-08-06, version 2.8.0*

I was enjoying the game in the early stages but the chat is a disgusting racist cesspool. People are rarely challenged for hateful comments and the moderation is inadequate. Deleted

### 1/5 — So…

*2026-08-05, version 2.8.0*

…lame!

### 1/5 — Poor development

*2026-08-05, version 2.8.0*

Any developer that releases untested updates and goes to bed and then tells players via discord to suck it up is not worth my time or money.

### 1/5 — Devs  suck and like oppression people voices

*2026-08-04, version 2.8.0*

Every update they break the game. Also they announce updates and won’t do said update and will do other stuff and add servers and merge older ones but won’t actually work on a decent game. Then say it’s for the better of the health of the game. Blocks randomly chat with no bad words

### 1/5 — NO WAR 😡

*2026-08-04, version 2.8.0*

GIVE US WAR, NO PEACE

### 1/5 — Fun idea ruined by aggressive monetisation

*2026-08-03, version 2.8.0*

The core gameplay is genuinely enjoyable and I’d happily pay a fair price to support the developers. Unfortunately, the game is balanced around spending rather than playing.

Progress slows dramatically as forge upgrades provide smaller and smaller gains, making meaningful progression feel impossible without paying. Then you’re presented with microtransactions of $28, $71 and even $140, which is absurd for an idle mobile game.

There’s a big difference between offering optional purchases and designing a game that nudges players into spending because progression has been intentionally throttled. This game crosses that line. It had the potential to be great, but the monetisation ultimately ruined the experience.

### 1/5 — Game is a joke

*2026-08-03*

there generally not much to it u just sit and do almost nothing for a very long time if u start to progress u get stuck for days i have only had the game about a week and a half and I was stuck on wave 5 for 3 days because the game just has very little progression because u dont do much the game spins on its own after sitting through a thousand spins u are still in the same situation the AI changes targets so some waves are increasing harder because u hit one target down to 1-2 shot then just stop attacking it so u take double damage idle is nothing it’s very very slow everyone in chat calls it a pay to win game because u literally have to pay to progress or sit for weeks to work up ur next forge upgrade that doesn’t give next stage progression just brings ur percentage from 1% to 2% for seasonal mode top 20 players gets 3k gold 3k is nothing considering you have to spend 70k 3 times then wait 28 hours for a upgrade that gives 1% boost and every sold item is like 20 gold progression is just not there I understand its a “idle” game but but they have taken it to a insane level because u pretty much are doing nothing

### 1/5 — awful

*2026-08-03, version 2.8.0*

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-11, version 2.8.2*

Even though it doesn’t advertise it it’s basically exactly like the ads the only difference is there were no little Micro Transactions on the side but Thats it and they don’t really completely change the game just give a little boost
