### 4/5 — Great game but

*2026-07-10, version 1.3.19*

The game is fun but been playing for a little over a month and it could use a little more to it

### 2/5 — Fun but needs work

*2026-05-09, version 1.3.19*

Great concept and decent execution. Sadly I think the devs have abandoned the game. Fun game if you want something to go on for 10-20 min but isn’t a time sink. The character models look awfulll 99% of the time but if u can get past that it’s decent

### 2/5 — Odds are not on your side

*2026-04-24, version 1.3.19*

I saved up runes to get 5 of the highest summon scroll.  Got the minimum tier on each summon.  I’m going to play for a little bit more but it’s looking like a waste of time

### 2/5 — fun but buggy

*2026-02-04, version 1.3.19*

fun initially but super buggy. my game froze unexpectedly multiple times. had to delete but would redownload if the bugs are fixed.

### 4/5 — very fun but one bug

*2026-01-28, version 1.3.19*

so i’ve been playing the game for a bit and it’s very fun and a enjoyable game but there is one problem when i play the game for 5-10 minutes it always seems to freeze and then crash

### 4/5 — Great idea

*2026-01-27, version 1.3.19*

Love the concept but game crashes sooooooo much

### 4/5 — Decently good

*2025-06-29, version 1.2.43*

I like the no ads thing. Downside is that it does not sync between devices.

### 4/5 — Worth checking out.

*2025-04-26, version 1.2.43*

This game has a good concept but and lacks polish. I don’t know if this is a school project, or a solo project. I’m stuck in bed with COVID so I’m playing it for a diversion. I think it has promise. 

 First the good stuff. I like the material collection system. It is like an idle game at first, you have to do all the work. Eventually you can hire undead to work for you. They collect slowly, so if you need something fast you will need to collect it yourself. The quest system is a good idea and it seems to work well. The food and potion creation, where you have to experiment to discover the recipes, is a good touch. The wiki is a big help!

 The bad stuff. The talent tree is unbalanced and needs tuned. Some of the talents are over powered. You can train multiple talents at the same time. You can watch an add to skip all the time locks on the talent tree. I have already completed almost all the talent trees and I’m not that far into the game. Another thing, some of the gear enhancements don’t have any material requirements. You can train high end gear straight to level 99 as soon as you get it. Also, I would like to see how the gear affects each class. I find myself guessing what might be the best gear for each.

 I have high hopes for this game. As I said it has potential. I hope it is still a work in process and it will be finished one day.

### 4/5 — Cloud Save

*2025-01-21, version 1.2.43*

Will give 5 when cloud saves are added so I can play across devices.

### 2/5 — Beautiful, but fails as a game

*2025-01-06, version 1.2.43*

It’s a really great looking game and it has elements that…seem…interesting at first, but then you get into the mechanics and the UI and it just doesn’t work.

The bulk of the “uniqueness” to the game comes from drops in dungeons that take 12+ hours to complete, but since you only see a log of the 12 hour dungeons, there’s no real obvious benefit to the gear other than “number go up”.

All upgrades to mini games/skills can be done within a day or two using four fingers to tap.

Idle elements are mostly useless as you can’t craft good gear, only loot it from a dungeon and upgrading often isn’t worth it because you can just increase the dungeon difficulty and get better gear. 

UI is poor. Often no exit or return to previous page button, no timers on crops. Higher level ores are locked behind and arbitrary dungeon when nothing else is unlocked that way.

Pretty underwhelming overall, but there are some interesting ideas here…terrible execution.

### 3/5 — Polished but no direction

*2025-01-01, version 1.2.43*

I’ve had the game for a couple days and at this point almost every skill is now obsolete - items are plentiful and thrown at the player in excess. It was fun for a short burn if you enjoy mindless grinding but it didn’t feel like there was any payout. 

The overall polish of the game seemed great.

### 4/5 — Great but no info

*2024-12-27*

I am pretty advanced in the game, ( 15 hours), but I still don’t understand how to do certain things. An example is how to donate resources. Other than that, for now, the game is great for an idle game

### 5/5 — Good game

*2024-12-05, version 1.2.43*

Thx for the update. Looking for more content soon.

Code : BOYEQG

### 3/5 — Good game

*2024-11-24, version 1.2.32*

Good game just need to lower the timer on dungeon missions there to long

### 2/5 — So far good but..

*2024-10-16, version 1.2.32*

So far enjoying this game. Lots of potential. Not really a tutorial which isn’t too bad but it’ll leave you with a lot of unanswered questions.. also the upgrades don’t really work.  I upgraded my tavern so I have Tipsy 2 which triples the fame and money gained during happy hour… well it only doubles, it never triples… One thing I’m not really enjoying is they don’t really tell you a lot of info on anything… like how to get the summon currency, the blue swirl(not the runes). The only way seems to be from recycling heroes but you can only get hero’s through summon scrolls which cost runes. You get a fair amount of runes to start but I imagine the rune rewards will slow down as I continue on considering they are a premium currency. They don’t tell you if you can get scrolls through dungeons etc.. there also doesn’t seem to be a way to see the possible drops on a dungeon so you have no idea what you can or can’t get… a lot of questions with no where to get answers.. I really hate when games do this… gotta spend your day googling for answers when you won’t find anything since it’s not exactly a popular game and the subreddit is of no help. There is a wiki but it has nothing useful for info/ the info you are looking for. Hopefully we can see info improvements in the future otherwise I don’t see this game taking off

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Gets very very dull

*2026-04-11, version 1.3.19*

Quite a dull game . Progression stops suddenly and no real point to continue checking back each day. So for a idle game expect more idle than anything else

### 1/5 — Game freezes

*2026-02-05, version 1.3.19*

Game keeps freezing. Kinda hard to get into enjoying it if it keeps freezing up on me. Willing to give it a better shot once it doesn’t freeze anymore.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2026-01-09, version 1.3.19*

Game Crashes every few minutes. Gets really annoying having to reset my entire phone to get to to play

### 1/5 — Ask at a better time

*2025-08-15, version 1.3.3*

Why would you ask me to review the game when i havent even played anything yet?

### 1/5 — Can’t mute

*2024-12-27, version 1.2.43*

I have no idea if the game is good or not it doesn’t let you mute so I instantly dropped it

### 1/5 — Poor introduction and scant on information

*2024-09-09, version 1.2.32*

Not sure how to level up anything or what the game is about.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-04-26, version 1.2.18*

Terrible game just tapping away for no reason then your upgrades take an hour to upgrade so you tap for 10 minutes with no progress also loads of fake reviews honestly trash do not get

### 1/5 — Top 10 of Worst

*2024-04-05, version 1.2.18*

This has just entered my top 10 of worst games ever downloaded and tried…. Mindless rubbish

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2024-03-30, version 1.2.18*

Can’t really recommend this game strictly because almost immediately you are hit with 2 8 hour timers that of course in mobile game fashion you can pay to speed up. I can understand the timers later on down the line but immediately starting out with 2 8 hour timers after maybe 15 minutes of gameplay is a bit much.

### 1/5 — Does nothing

*2024-03-25, version 1.2.18*

Start the game and basically it’s just a tapping sim with no direction.

### 5/5 — Very fun game

*2026-07-25, version 1.3.19*

I usually don't write reviews, but I really liked this one and appreciated that it wasn't a scummy cash grab type game or one with tons of ads. I bought some stuff just to like donate because I really enjoyed it. The game is really fun and I say that after playing tons of mobile games. 

All the different game mechanics flow together well and make sense. My only minor complaint is that the dungeons take too long near the end to really progress as much.

### 5/5 — Pretty fun

*2026-05-12, version 1.3.19*

It’s the kind of game where you can play for five minutes or hours. It’s fun and makes you want to see how far your guild can go. Recommend you give it a try.

### 5/5 — One issue

*2025-12-10, version 1.3.17*

I have the quest to construct the hovel but it doesn’t allow me to construct it. I didn’t see a help tab in game so figured I would post it here. Other than that really enjoying the game!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2025-10-05, version 1.3.10*

Wanted a management guild game and so far this is it.

### 5/5 — Workers

*2025-08-14, version 1.3.2*

Can’t unlock my 8th skeleton

### 5/5 — Practical

*2025-06-14, version 1.2.43*

For an idle clicker, it actually feels like you earn your progress.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-04-30, version 1.2.43*

I really enjoy this. It has some good depth for being an idle game. There is so much you can do.

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem that needs more work

*2025-04-07, version 1.2.43*

This game is great and the developers are great, the only issue is that there are some aspects that can use a little work to make more streamlined or less repetitive. Great examples being endgame quests where you have to guess what gear works best for each class as there is not way to show the benefit of items on characters. But this still deserves 5 stars for the amount of good in this game for a mobile app. If you just get to the point where you have finished the lvl 80 quests this game is basically perfect to that point.

### 5/5 — Amazing.

*2025-03-10, version 1.2.43*

This game has kept me going for the past couple months. So far progression has been great and the questing is a nice little touch. 

I would like to see some customization updates to the game. Whether that’s hero customization or guild customization. Give me something new 😎

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-01-04, version 1.2.43*

I love the game. Went to the game discord and it helped a lot. 10/10 game should get more attention
