### 1/5 — Boring

*2026-05-09, version 1.103*

No story or strategy, just take turns whacking each other. Basically an idle game. Copy of "swords & sandles"

### 1/5 — Баги

*2025-11-19, version 1.103*

Игра неплохая, но я столкнулся с двумя проблемами: 1)У большинства оружий нет описания их характеристик, а у щитов оно очень странное (Например, сопротивление +0). 2) Бесконечная загрузка после просмотра рекламы для открытия сундука.

### 1/5 — バグで進めなくなる

*2025-09-14, version 1.103*

2章のメイジを倒すと倒した瞬間にアプリが落ちて進むことができないので詰んだ

### 5/5 — Love this game

### 2/5 — Game crash loop

*2025-04-30, version 1.103*

I was about to beat the game but every time I go to log back in my character dies of hunger, I get revived because of my amulet and immediately crash over and over. My only option is to either start from scratch or stop playing completely.

### 5/5 — Cine🚬

### 5/5 — 엄청튕기네요

*2025-04-14, version 1.103*

게임 자체는 즐겁게 플레이 하고 있습니다 하지만 게임도중에 너무 많이 튕겨요 이 사항을 업데이트 해주시면 감사하겠습니다 정말 좋은 게임인데 튕김 현상이 너무 심해서 게임에서 점점 멀어지는거 같아요 제발 업데이트 부탁드립니다

### 5/5 — Game keeps crashing

*2025-01-03, version 1.103*

### 2/5 — Death bug

*2024-12-02, version 1.103*

Occasionally when I fight for hp and mana my character will instantly die before I can even attack. Game is fun but this is completely stopping me from progressing.

### 4/5 — 제발좀

*2024-11-01, version 1.103*

Please don't let the game turn off Please.
