And also when we crafted some things we need certain resources to completed it but resources are very rare to find especially in missions We have no choice to buy some but the problem First: Even if we buy 10 at once it is not certain that we would receive 10 different resources and they are always doubled or tripled and we did not even get what we really need Second: Purchases are too expensive lower a maximum of 20 - 25 dollars We are a lot to play and buy you will lose absolutely nothing Don’t talk about the daily rewards in the HUB they don’t squeeze much If it continues like this in the next few months I will delete the game thank you..! ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-08-20, version 8.3.1* I do wish there was more ways of degating damage, the problem with all these top down survival games is that you can’t avoid damage without a glitch, add dodging, or a parrying system, even a spell that tanks an amount damage for you, speaking of spells, I would love for there to be mages with mp and a whole new way of combat. ### 3/5 — Fun *2026-08-16, version 8.3.1* One of the most entertaining phone games that played in a long time ### 2/5 — Ok ish *2026-08-15, version 8.3.1* Typical game build around selling expensive skins. Weapons and armour. You get to a point where its nearly impossible to progress any further without spending the cash! Also the items in your stash has no labels on them. How do you know what they are for? Actually makes the game quite unenjoyable. ### 3/5 — Good game but… *2026-08-10, version 8.3.1* This game is unbelievable expensive to progress, both in time and actual money. The prices for things are unreal in the store sadly. The endurance of weaponry and gear is way off. I’ve put a few dollars into this game but no more. I’ve been playing for months and still can’t even acquire a horse or play in the second level of difficulty areas without dying quickly. Greed has ruined the joy of gaming. ### 4/5 — Fun game, needs a rework *2026-08-08, version 8.3.1* Really fun pay to play game. Boss fights are challenging, and getting gear is rewarding in most cases. If you’re playing without paying good luck catching this level 160. Anyway, I’m writing this review because I’d like to suggest adding player trading. I think it’d be a new fun dynamic that isn’t too much of a change. Also let’s say my little sister wanted to play the game. I could give her starting gear and things of the such. Updates that matter only seem to come every couple years and while you can tell they care about the game I think it’s affecting the core player base. Please add trading, gives more incentive for running a clan. Please add new locations. Keep up the solid story and gameplay though guys <3 ### 4/5 — Pero *2026-08-06, version 8.3.1* El juego es bueno perooo le falta adrenalina ### 3/5 — Resources, Inventory space *2026-08-05, version 8.3.1* I really wanna say I was down bad for this game in the beginning BUT with that said you have to grind so much to get wood and other resources, not to mention the incredibly limited inventory space. It would be so cool to get an upper hand with the space you can hold inventory and more recourses easier to get. ### 2/5 — Highway Robbery *2026-08-04, version 8.3.1* Was enjoying the game, albeit the amount of micro transactions seemed suspect. However, I marched on and gave the game the benefit of the doubt. That was until they basically charged for upgraded equipment in order to effectively tackle a specific dungeon; welp when you lose in said dungeon you lose everything g you just spent money on. I feel scammed and unfortunately this has soured my enjoyment. It’s just bad business. ### 2/5 — I want to enjoy *2026-07-31, version 8.3.1* The game is really good but, most resources are hard to find; when I pay for 10 items to get what I need, you just give me random, useless stuff—and always in duplicates or triplicates. Most levels are extremely difficult, and even if I buy items to help me beat a level, there’s no guarantee of success; if I die, I lose all my weapons and resources. It’s disappointing. I really like this game, but if it’s going to be like this, I’ll have to quit—it’s ridiculous! ### 4/5 — What to do, and how to do it. *2026-07-31, version 8.3.1* An excellent game for the genre, especially with the clock running before certain missions disappear. However, an index or quick guide on hand w to perform certain actions would be helpful. ### 3/5 — Expensive *2026-07-24, version 8.3.1* Fun but unless you’ve got hours or cash to spare you won’t go forward ### 2/5 — I see 👀 *2026-07-20, version 8.3.0* Cash grab game. Made to make you spend money even though they can truly make this a bad!!s game. But y’all keep clicking the purchase button so they have no need to tune durability or anything. ### 3/5 — 😤 *2026-07-19, version 8.3.0* Activity copy key, refresh time 🙅 don't change it randomly, okay? It's good to refresh at 8 o'clock every day 👍 It's annoying to change it randomly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cash Grab and Items Not Working *2026-08-28, version 8.3.1* St. peter’s tincture did not work as intended and lost all my hard earned and paid gear. This was the last straw for me. Deleting the game. Selling an item that does not work so you can lose everything so you can repurchase everything again defeats the whole purpose of the game. Game had potential, but lost it in implementation ### 1/5 — 利用赫拉特闪避刷bug *2026-08-26, version 8.3.1* 利用赫拉特闪避刷bug，刷成功后，在酷史地下城火盆处疯狂刷红猎积分3天能刷1百多级，这么超标你们不不管管吗 ### 1/5 — Fix Loot RNG *2026-08-22, version 8.3.1* Fix the loot RNG droops - I cleared the dungeon of forsaken a 100 times; done levels 2 and eisenberg several times, wiped out Aissa on heroic, etc and I still can’t a handle for my grindstone or alchemy table blueprint? Stop being so greedy and trolling people into P2P gameplay. I have held a VIP for months, that’s not enough? You now want to gait and switch and troll me into buying a 100 boxes too??? So greedy, completely broken loot system. Even Google AI complete trashes and makes fun of you. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-08-15, version 8.3.1* Gotta love dying to night guests, stupid spawns, player spawns in a dungeon, and of course entering a map right next to a Templar and getting dropped before the screen even loads. Would give negative stars if I could!!! ### 1/5 — Love the Game *2026-08-15, version 8.3.1* Only reason I’m giving it a one star is I’ve been playing for years now and I still haven’t been able to add any friends. ### 1/5 — Hard *2026-07-18, version 8.3.0* Updated: I deleted because I lost all my equipments. I’m enjoying playing the game, but it is hard to collect and build up, so it is a time consuming unless you purchase stuff, I don’t like the fact when the character die I lose the clothes that I purchased or worked so hard to make, please make it little bit easier on us, so we can enjoy it. I HATE IT DIE BACK TO 0 ### 1/5 — Where update for Cyberika? *2026-07-14, version 8.2.6* Why are there no updates for Cyberika? When are you going to work on the game? ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-07-12, version 8.2.6* Evasion, fear. Thunder, decay, pumpkin, ice bag, trap shoes, bow bag, these can be stuck on the character or on the bag in the same way as the bug. Don't you solve it? ### 1/5 — Pay To Play *2026-06-13, version 8.2.5* Only play this game if you want to financially invest. ### 1/5 — Why *2026-06-12, version 8.2.5* Why, the system below ios18 logs in to the game and flashes back. Please release the restrictions. My mobile phone can't upgrade the system, otherwise I can only say goodbye to this game. I don't want to get a new mobile phone yet. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 这个游戏陪伴了我九年时光 *2026-08-21, version 8.3.1* 这个游戏陪伴了我很久，我2018年时候玩的那时候上初中这个游戏做得一直都很好，现在也很喜欢，希望就是后续能做得更好吧，增加点多人可以两个人一块儿生存这个游戏原本是想留昵称的游戏昵称的，但是留不了那就算了虽然这个游戏我账号曾经丢过三次，但是这个游戏非常的耐玩，而且也有很高的困难度，现在有很多类型的游戏，但是这个游戏依旧经典。但是我很想和我弟弟一块儿联机，希望以后能推动联机模式 ### 5/5 — Pretty fun hope they add more to it *2026-08-02, version 8.3.1* Yessir 🤙🏼 ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-07-25, version 8.3.1* This game is fun and you can play completely free if you’re interested in a little grinding. I can’t wait to see new content ### 5/5 — World of Warcraft on a phone *2026-07-22, version 8.3.1* Most similar mobile rpg to wow and I have played them all it’s great and way more slow paced grinding and questing then Diablo ### 5/5 — Gameplay and new ideas *2026-07-16, version 8.3.0* Yall should add a wraith instead of just the night guest. Even tho it suggest that is what the night guest is :::his main goal is just to keep players from walking into oblivion stealing and hoarding sources resources etc. I want one to actually fight and depending on gameplay what resources the wraith drops. It can be the night guest helper and technically his downside. For example the wraith drops burning torches bc blank blank blank. I want a storyline on why night guest fight. Anyway speaking of the night guest does appear inside my base sometimes.. idk if I have to light my dwelling or if it was a glitch. Further note I don’t like how yall took away the servers. I wasn’t using to cheat and u rlly can’t steal more resources for urself this way. I just like playing more times etc and getting used to the game. I used to have two servers and used to play bc of the wolf having such a low bite/fight in the beginning until training or books etc. other than those things it’s a great game that needs further work and lore. I kinda want the wraith strong kinda like the slasher and dungeon kings but damage depends. Best opponents tho so far on my level is them and the bats were a good idea. ### 5/5 — One of my favorite Games *2026-07-16, version 8.3.0* It’s pretty good there is a bug that what happened was one of the quests said that I need to add a friend and when I did, it didn’t count as the quest being completed and I don’t know other people to add so I can’t complete it. Plus the cunning Scrooge game is a bit annoying but it’s fine. The rats are also A bit annoying but I just want the first thing to be fixed. Still the game is really fun and I enjoyed it a ton. Thanks brickworks! Ps this wasn’t ai ### 5/5 — Always love the game *2026-07-12, version 8.2.6* The game has gotten much better the armor is still to exspensive and gets destroyed to fast but the game is cool ### 5/5 — One of my favorite Games *2026-07-10, version 8.2.6* It’s pretty good there is a bug that what happened was one of the quests said that I need to add a friend and when I did, it didn’t count as the quest being completed and I don’t know other people to add so I can’t complete it. Plus the cunning Scrooge game is a bit annoying but it’s fine. The rats are also A bit annoying but I just want the first thing to be fixed. Still the game is really fun and I enjoyed it a ton. Thanks brickworks! ### 5/5 — Omg *2026-06-26, version 8.2.6* Really great game play one of those games that u just get sucked into ### 5/5 — Just get robbed *2026-06-24, version 8.2.6* I love this game but rewriting review.. it’s impossible to get anywhere, you just get picked off by lazy players who wait till you have just finished a fight the they swoop in kill you on your last few % of life before you can even hit a bandage etc. then they get all your hard earned gear or paid for gear. Tell me will this change or do I stop now. You need to do something about this as responsible game holders. Not just enjoy the money coming in. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
