### 5/5 — Really amazing

*2026-08-19, version 1.13.4*

Amazing game, non intrusive ads, but the game is so fun I decided to remove them anyway to support the dev.

### 5/5 — 广告少，好玩。可买断变无广告。

*2026-08-17, version 1.13.4*

few ads，fun to play

### 5/5 — Solid dungeon crawler

*2026-08-15, version 1.13.4*

I’ve played a ton of similar mobile games but this one and it’s 2 sequels take the cake. It’s worth paying to remove the ads to engross yourself in the lore.

### 4/5 — Accessibility and weapons

*2026-08-13, version 1.13.4*

I’m trying to get weapons and I can’t get to the place to get them and the accessibility with the buttons is Great

### 5/5 — Old School Feel

*2026-08-12, version 1.13.4*

Good game to play when ur bored

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-10, version 1.13.4*

Good game hate dieing tho

### 5/5 — Good game so far

*2026-08-08, version 1.13.4*

I’ve been playing for a few days now and I’m enjoying the game so far. It has balanced challenges and rewards, and you can watch ads or spend money only if you want some extra things. One thing I wish is that the dungeons had some art to them or if it was a type of map of a dungeon we could explore instead of a square grid. But I am enjoying the game so far. And great story and world building so far

### 5/5 — Pleasantly Surprised

*2026-08-08, version 1.13.4*

Figured this would be an interesting little game that I thought would only slightly occupy my time, and whilst it has a simple gameplay formula, I find it hard to put down. Very pleased to be playing this previously-unknown-gem.

### 1/5 — Deception

*2026-08-02, version 1.13.4*
