### 2/5 — Leaving for 6months with a major bug

*2026-08-05*

Love the game it all works properly. Except this is a pay to idle game and when the auto battle only works for 1-5 waves then the the game seems to continue attacking nothing but and the wave bar and boss bar just does not register that all enemies have been killed. I have let it run for 8h over night and no progression. With the high wave goals this is a major bug. Hope this reaches the developers

### 2/5 — .

*2026-07-27*

### 4/5 — Слелайте обновление

*2026-07-26*

Дорогие разработчики у меня в игре баг не работают еженедельные награды кланы и донат(интернет проверял есть но в игре нет ) и ко всему этому я не могу привязать почту к аккаунту всякий раз когда пытаюсь привязать почту появляется ошибка CONNECTION LOST RESTART THE GAME и CONNECTION LOST RESTART THE GAME вот такие две ошибки выскакивают почините пожалуйста уже неделю такая проблема.

### 5/5 — Best Game Ever.

*2026-07-11, version 1.50.14*

I played this game from my little childhood around 7 years old. I saw this game played by my big brother and I tried it out too. And it was awesome! So much things to do in this game and addictive too.

### 5/5 — PEAK, game

*2026-07-09, version 1.50.14*

Lots of grinding but so so fun

### 3/5 — Losing my coins ???

*2026-06-20, version 1.50.14*

I make some much coins for them to just disappear, I don’t know why it has been doing that I had 163 million coins and then I don’t ?? There an issue

### 5/5 — Просьба

*2026-05-24*

Для меня, игра отлично убивает время, но есть одно пожелание, а именно добавить сброс «навыков за уровень», просто бывают моменты когда качаешь не тот навык по неосторожности или в попытках попробовать другой билд, но сбросить не можешь.

### 5/5 — 재밌고 엄청 중독적인데

*2026-04-28*

재밌고 중독적이지만 100 스테이지 인가?를 넘기고 나면 점점 몹들은 약하지만 쓸데없이 많이 나와서 스테이지 한번 하려면 시간이 좀 오래 걸려요. 약간 지루해요. 똑같은 몹 보스가 100스테이지 동안 계속 나오고 근데 100 스테이지를 넘길때마다 몹이 달라져요. 지금은 매일 플레이 하지만 메인 스테이지는 별로 안하고 드래곤만 잡고 있습니다. 하지만 재밌고 아주 중독적이여서 별 5개!

### 5/5 — 자는도중에 무발기사정이 될만큼 재밌어요

*2026-04-21*

굿

### 5/5 — Anyone know how to download it I’m on low data mode and pressed cancel pls tell me a way to download

*2026-04-17, version 1.50.14*
