My only option is to either start from scratch or stop playing completely. ### 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* I'm a person who's having fun. Please don't let the game turn off Please. ### 3/5 — Would be 5 but *2024-08-21, version 1.103* I keep experiencing a game breaking bug that forces a crash every time I’m grinding after the first arena. Shortly into the second arena, between day 40 and day 62, when loading into town, my character model spawns above the platform, drops there, dies and the game promptly crashes. ### 4/5 — Favorite game although there’s glitches *2024-06-12, version 1.096* This has been my favorite game throughout my childhood & that’ll never change but i’d be glad to see if the dev’s change the glitch where it kicks me out of the game whenever i sleep on day 1 of a new game & the game restarts when i drink the “power” potion ### 5/5 — Bug *2024-01-22, version 1.096* I was in a boss fight against rickus (world 4 boss) and died with 2 crucifix, I died but instead of reviving I got the game over screen. I was really devastated as this was my best run and it was nullified by a bug. Please fix it. ### 3/5 — Unavoidable crash stops progress *2023-12-22, version 1.096* Every time I load up my save file, my level 27 mage is in the market area and he makes a hurt sound even though I easily won the prior fight. It lasts a fraction of a second and the whole app crashes. No progress can be made. I tried clicking inventory, shops anything before it crashes, but it’s not possible. I was really enjoying it too :( But tbh, this is one of the best apps. I love turned based rpgs and this is challenging in the best way ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2023-12-10, version 1.096* The game crashes for no reason and once it crashes, that save becomes unaccessible. I have to restart all over agin which SUCKS! The game rules but if this keeps happening imma have to let it go. ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2023-11-05, version 1.096* Thanks for reading and listening to my review about the bug on chapter 1 stage 4 the bug has been fix and the game update is really great!!! really appreciate it!!!! ### 2/5 — It is broken *2023-10-09, version 1.062* When I press on the 4th enemy in chapter 1 nothing happens. Can’t play the game ### 4/5 — I love this home but ever since the update the game won’t work *2023-09-30, version 1.062* Every time I get to the 4 gladiator fight it won’t let me play the fight it’s really annoying because this was my favorite game until it started doing this I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling but nothing works i really hope this issue gets resolved so I can play it again oh and if it matters I play on an iPhone 13 Pro Max so maybe it still works for other devices idk ### 2/5 — Broken Game *2023-09-27, version 1.062* I'd like to write a more comprehensive review, but the game quite literally doesn't allow you to progress past the fourth fight. I assume it's some weird coding bug, where the fight is inaccessible... even though it shows as available. Beside that, it earns 2/5 stars for everything else. When you rest you refill health/stam/mana, as well as get exp and gold and gear due to a fight with a random enemy matching your level. Three classes to choose from (fighter/rogue/maga) which all three seem fun. Couldn't play to much to get a full feel due to the game breaking bug. Hopefully it gets fixed. Reminded me of some childhood favorites from Kongregate. Rip to that website. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Challenge *2023-12-04, version 1.096* Game is super hard to begin with seems like they expect you to die ### 1/5 — Исправьте пожалуйста *2023-10-12, version 1.062* Не могу напасть на 4-го противника , айфон 12 . ### 1/5 — Bug iPhone X *2023-10-06, version 1.062* Me deja trabado en el cuarto enfrentamiento del acto 1 sin poder seguir con la historia. Un juego que en su momento jugué desde otro celular sin ningún problema ahora se convirtió en una decepción. Ojalá que lo fixeen ### 1/5 — 4th opponent bug *2023-09-23, version 1.062* I can only fight 3 opponents and non after that ### 1/5 — No deja pasar de la pelea 3 *2023-09-17, version 1.062* Que pena ese bug no me deja jugar ### 1/5 — Buen juego pero… *2023-09-09, version 1.062* 10 pero el hecho de que halla un bug tras pasar el tercer nivel no puedo poner otro nivel para seguir peleando así que por esto se me hace mal juego y cambiaria mi opinión si este bug estaría resulto ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2023-09-06, version 1.062* Was a fun game but can’t play past the 3rd fight because of bugs and there’s no way around it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-05-30, version 1.103* Great game, really fun to play when bored love grinding games this for you love the fact that once you die u restart your progress makes it challenging and funnier we needa see a third one soon ### 5/5 — Cine🚬 *2025-04-30, version 1.103* Esto es una obra de arte, Es muy divertido pero muy corto ### 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* Hey developers, my game several others, as seen by other reviews, has been crashing every time I open it.
