Servers must be off for the moment because i can’t connect after character creation. ### 3/5 — Suggestions *2026-01-22* I don’t know where to leave advice that may make the game better seem less annoying but make me need a crafting level of 5 to make an item that requires me to be level 10 makes no sense like one or the other and same with quests. What the point of not being able to do a quest until I’m level 10 but the items I receive won’t allow me to use them until I’m level 14 Give us some availability for us to out perform like if we kill something that our level wouldn’t normally support like the quest that requires 7 feathers that give us the level 14 items allow us to claim the quest and complete it without being level 11 and allow us to use the level 14 items it helps with game progression. ### 4/5 — One of the better games you can get on iOS *2026-01-22, version 27* only reason I don’t give 5 stars is updates are released at a snails pace. Definitely still a work in progress and there many things I would like to see added and some things changed, but I definitely still recommend giving it a shot if this sort of game appeals to you. If updates were every (#) weeks and scheduled for maintenance etc., would be well received by all. Also more detailed game mechanics and information like item drop rate % chance, etc. Amongst other general topics as well that would be nice. Anyways ### 4/5 — Missing Report or Block Option? *2025-11-29* Just recently started playing, and I’m having a good time with it. It’s a bit of a grind fest, but that’s actually what I was looking for in a mobile game, so I’m happy. Plus, the graphics are charming and the game runs smoothly. With that said, I’ve been harassed by a user named EternalKiss who keeps following me around and calling me derogatory terms in Spanish. Even with the chatbox closed, there’s still a speech bubble that appears above his head every time he sends a message. Is there a way to report certain messages for review or block other users so I’m invisible to them and they’re invisible to me? This was my first real interaction with another player, which was disheartening but not entirely unexpected with an MMO game. However, the truly frustrating part is how there was seemingly nothing I could do to get away from the pestering other than quitting the game. The game is enjoyable, but not enjoyable enough for me to put up with rampant name-calling. I’m hoping I missed a very obvious “BLOCK” option somewhere, but if I didn’t and there really isn’t an option to block other users, I definitely think this game could benefit from one. I’d rather mute someone who’s being offensive or otherwise causing drama in the chat than have to quit the game just to get a moment of reprieve. ### 4/5 — One of the better games you can get on iOS *2025-11-26* only reason I don’t give 5 stars is updates are released at a snails pace. Definitely still a you work in progress and there many things I would like to see added and some things changed, but I definitely still recommend giving it a shot if this sort of game appeals to you. ### 4/5 — Glitch? *2025-10-05, version 24* Love the game however when I build lumber my level doesn't advance it stays the same Is this a glich and when is new content coming also I bought 2 horses can't see it in my collection. Thank you ### 4/5 — Great if you like grind *2025-09-28, version 24* Sooo it is a fun game to play, but if you do not like a lot of grinding do not get into it because it’s mainly grinding not to much else ### 1/5 — Не зайти в игру *2025-09-21* Авторизация не работает ### 1/5 — Buggy mess, and apathetic devs *2025-09-04, version 24* Really the title. Decent at times, but honestly too grindy and unreliable. Major loss of progress and complete lack of support have driven me away. Negative review here and on steam, and a full request for my data to be deleted from the servers. Best of luck with the development of your game. Thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Нет обновлений *2026-05-15* Кормят обещаниями об обновлении. Последнее обещали после нового года, до сих пор ждем. Игра за 3 года обновлялась только один раз, и то просто рыбалку добавили. Как говорится, обещанного 3 года ждут… ну ничего, мы ведь Хатики одни тут собрались.. пора кажется удалять игру, и вообще больше не скачивать! ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2026-03-18, version 27* WORST DEVS EVER! Absolutely worthless game, grind and support. ### 1/5 — Nao roda e nao realiza login google *2026-02-25* O jogo nao deixa eu acessar conta google dando erro de auth e quando inicio o jogo usando login do iOS ele simplesmente fecha, um game que começa com bugs no login nao deve ser uma boa opção ### 1/5 — Can't open the minimap *2026-02-23, version 27* Can't open the mini map on iOS, it's just a black screen ### 1/5 — Far too long without update *2026-02-19* Games so far beyond from finished and it feels horrible to play knowing the dev don't care about putting new content into their game ### 1/5 — Login with Google is not working *2026-01-07* … ### 1/5 — They say update is “coming”… *2025-12-18, version 27* It’s been like 2 years with no update. ### 1/5 — Fail. *2025-11-19, version 25* The game itself is great, but you can only play the basically test version and they keep saying they’re going to release the full version but that was literally almost 3 years ago, so it’s just a complete waste of time ### 1/5 — No updates for year+ *2025-10-27, version 25* Dev keep saying the new update coming and it's been years no updates. ### 1/5 — Login Issues *2025-10-03, version 24* I play this on PC and love the game. So I when I found out that there is an app, I downloaded it real quick. However, I have tried everything and cannot login with my google account. The game is great but the app needs the google login fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-02-23* Been looking for a game like this for a long time! It’s a bit grindy, but it’s still developing so I imagine that element will likely be improved in the future. I like how it’s simple, but has just enough to keep you engaged. I love pixel art style so that’s a nice bonus. This review doesn’t give it justice, I’d just say get in there and try. I’d be surprised if you didn’t enjoy it ### 5/5 — Endless-online vibes *2025-12-23* Game is what endless-online could be on mobile. Definitely a grind but for what it is it’s top tier ### 5/5 — One of the better games you can get on iOS *2025-11-22* Definitely still in progress and there many things I would like to see added and some things changed, but I definitely still recommend giving it a shot if this sort of game appeals to you. ### 5/5 — Захожу и висну *2025-11-14* Братишки и сестренки, помогите разобраться в чем дело. Логинюсь в игру - все ок, загружается серв иногда даже прогружаются другие игроки, но все стоит на месте, никаких действий выполнить не получается, как будто пинг >99999. Иногда захожу и все норм, но чаще просто стою. И возьмите меня в какую нибудь русскую Гильду. ТГ: @goreanus ### 5/5 — Awesome Game! *2025-11-11, version 25* Been playing for over a year now and have really enjoyed this game cant wait to see how it evolves over the years ### 5/5 — Great 2D mmorpg *2025-10-27, version 25* Heartwood is a solid 2D mmorpg for mobile with good community. I’ve been enjoying it so far. It’s a little grindy, but that is probably a good thing so you don’t get bored with it too quickly. ### 5/5 — This game deserves more love! *2025-10-26, version 25* Firstly let me say, if you enjoy grinding and don’t mind pixel games, you’ll love this game! The devs are actively updating it and while the player count is small most of the time this is a huge help to get the drops and XP you want. Everything from fighting to fishing can be quite rewarding once you figure out the best way for you to do it. I’m not great at reviewing but just give it a try but be prepared for a grind! I’m 20hrs in roughly and I’m about half way to(current) max level so far. ### 5/5 — Yes *2025-10-02, version 24* I love this game I’ve had it sitting on my phone for a while now and I’ve been wanting for another big update ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2025-09-22* Ótimo jogo pra quem gosta de um bom mmorpg com craft e coletas. ### 5/5 — Potential Grinder MMO Crossplatform *2025-08-30* Has major potential if they listened to feedback. I’m putting 5 stars because maybe the dev needs some love to showcase this game. Drakantos is around the corner but my niche with a family is a game I can play on the go, switch between deck and PC and mobile. This game offers it - it is super grindy but with a few tweaks can be great. Shared bank is non existent so doesn’t promote alt farming, a lot of features are locked and some redundancies of farming old mats with zero xp for more. Overall if they add an expansion and reduce the grind just a hair to freshen up the scenery it would be amazing. If the graphics showcased the armor a little more or just refined a hair it would be great too. Something quick to get into but also can invest lots of time and get out. That’s what I’m looking for. Only 4 classes - if they had maybe 6-7 and freshened up the UI (on mobile the social screen takes up half of it if it would disappear or have a smart function) would be great. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
