The only ads I had were optional for bonuses, now suddenly I’m getting an ad after EVERY SINGLE ROUND. It’s annoying as hell and I’m over this game cus of it. ### 2/5 — Игра норм. Но уберите энергию! *2026-08-31* Игра залипательная. Но зачем в этой игре нужна энергия? Играешь 15-20 минут и потом ждешь 1 час пока пополнится энергия всего на 1 игру. ### 2/5 — 最近の流行り…？ *2026-08-30* まず急に出始める強制広告を消すために1000円越えの課金が必須です。 が、始めると途中停止が出来ず、スタミナ1つ回復するのに1時間かかります。 (1ゲームはだいたい2〜3分です) スタミナ回復や装備強化の広告は毎回出ます。 激渋のスタミナ回復には結局広告視聴が必要になります。 全ての広告が解放される訳では無いです。 あくまで、強制広告が無くなるだけ。 ゲーム性はとても面白いです。 1000円以上の課金をしても"強制広告だけ"無くなります。 スタミナとのバランスが最悪で、 サービス精神が全く感じられません。 ゲーム性は星5！ 快適具合(サービス精神)は-3 で、今のところは星2つです。 消費者向けのサービス展開を考え直してくださるなら アプリの質も上がり、間違いない優良ゲームと認めると思いました。 ### 2/5 — Good for a bit *2026-08-28, version 1.10.0* This was a pretty fun little game for a while, even with all the basic benefits hidden behind ads. But then you hit a certain point and even more ads come after every single level. That makes it about a 50/50 split in time spent playing the game and having to watch ads. Too greedy for me, so immediately uninstall at that point. ### 2/5 — Ads everywhere. Minimal upgrades. *2026-08-24, version 1.9.10* This game forces ads after every run unless you purchase a no ad bundle. No big deal, I’d consider purchasing if when advancing, you didn’t feel as if your progress was stunted. Every new “area” you’re reset back to level 1. Again, not an issue if the adverts weren’t slammed in your face, taking up your time. After these considerations, even AFTER purchasing the No ads, you’re still being chased by an in game mechanic, forcing you to either rebirth (level 1) to rid the chase, or get caught and have to combat a toxin. Poorly thought out game. It’s fun for a moment, though, for longevity, Im surprised if they have people make it to “end game”. ### 3/5 — Tempo para jogar *2026-08-20* O jogo e bom e divertido… mas como voces esperan que joguem se voce tem que esperar energia voltar e se quiserem jogar mais tem que esperar quase 1h ou pagar….. ### 2/5 — Started off fine… no offline play + constant ads *2026-08-16, version 1.9.9* Game started off perfectly fine, admittedly Downloaded from an ad, but the moment that I wasn’t even allowed to play the game without data or WiFi was the nail in the coffin. As is the case with any game that purposefully doesn’t allow offline play for the sake of ad revenue. ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-08-12, version 1.9.9* Boring boring boring boring too slow and boring no challenge just boring only one star bc it wouldn’t let me post without ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-09, version 1.9.8* Adss ### 1/5 — Thought It Was Different… *2026-08-09, version 1.9.8* I was really enjoying the first section of the game. The entire area before the Void Abyss. I kept thinking that, because there was no energy requirement like other games of its type, I would definitely make an in app purchase once the shop was unlocked. The game was lots of fun, I made sure to watch ads whenever possible…then the moment I hit the Void Abyss and the shop unlocked, the energy bar appeared and the energy related IAPs were just incredibly overpriced for what the game is. Sadly, I immediately uninstalled it and won’t be continuing. I really hoped the developers would’ve done something new and different, something worth rewarding them for but they’re just as bad as other devs that create games of this type. ### 1/5 — Nem baixem, depois do level 100 é um AD forçado após cada run kkk *2026-08-09* empresa patética ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-08-07, version 1.9.8* I love playing this game there’s just way too many ads. i feel like this is an issue for so many games but come on you have an ad after every level. ### 3/5 — Power is so pointless and ruins the player base *2026-08-07, version 1.9.8* I’ve been playing this game for a week now I like the game but the power is ridiculous ads are bad but I paid to have no ads and now it’s not even letting me double my rewards after a run it feels like I paid money to lose extra rewards??? And the only being able to do a few runs a day is weak this game would have so much more longevity if they removed power and listened to these reviews ### 1/5 — 광고제거 개꼴받네 *2026-07-31* 개발사이트 들어가보니 필수광고,배너광고만 제거라네요 보상형광고는 선택사항이라 안된데요 시발치즈년들 ### 3/5 — 広告が挟まらないのはいいけど *2026-07-29* スタミナがすぐに消えるのはクソ、広告を見るか課金をしなければいけない。というか課金推奨、課金をしなければほんの少ししかできないからクソ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Massive paywall after only half an hour of play *2026-08-29, version 1.10.0* It's a typical rogue-lite with a relatively interesting die-upgrade-repeat loop. There is a modest variety of upgrades between play-throughs, and a wider variety of random power-ups during each play-through to keep things interesting. I generally enjoy this type of game and would definitely play it long-term, except... After the tutorial level, an energy bar appears with 20 energy shards, and you consume one shard for every play-through. Remember though, this is a rogue-lite, so constantly replaying the level is the core mechanic. Each play-through takes about a minute or so, so you will exhaust the energy bar within half an hour. You can watch an ad to get an additional shard, but you can only do this 3 times every 24 hours. The energy bar also replenishes slowly, one shard per hour, so within a 24 hour period you get 24 shards, plus 3 from ads. Yep, that's all you get. 27 play-throughs per day. For a rogue-lite. 🤦‍♂️ If you actually want to play this game more actively, you'll need to spend something like $10 per day, every day, to keep going. That's $300 per month. Interesting though this game might be, it's not THAT interesting. It's literally unplayable without sinking a ton of cash into it, so I uninstalled it. 🤷‍♂️ I don't understand why they felt the need put in this harsh paywall, when the game is ad-supported (both forced ads after each level, as well as optional ads for boosts). If they just let people play, they would get a lot more ad revenue. This way, people either uninstall it immediately, or severely limit their daily play time, which ultimately limits ad revenue. Maybe they're hoping for a few whales with more money than sense to sink tons of cash to keep them afloat? Who the hell knows, all I know is that I'm out. ### 1/5 — Took my status *2026-08-26, version 1.10.0* I had Poseidon leveled up to 30 and I updated the game and now he’s at a level 15. Please help. ### 1/5 — So close to being good *2026-08-26, version 1.10.0* This game is actually fun. Was going to say it’s okay that you have to wait for energy to refill because there’s no ads, but I was wrong. They made me update the game and then boom- ads after every round. So close to being good, but greed will always win. ### 1/5 — Huge pay wall *2026-08-25, version 1.9.10* I have to emphasize huge pay wall. The second stage you get no coins and don’t advance in the slightest ### 1/5 — うーん *2026-08-25* 最初は面白かったけど、後半は今日かも打ち止めになって、 ブロックを破壊できずに赤鬼に戻されて……を繰り返す無限ループゲーム。 スタミナを無駄に消費して元の場所に戻る前にまた赤鬼…。 課金装備も買ったけど、ステータスが微妙に上がるだけで全然追いつかない。 なんでステータスも武器も強化を頭打ちにしたのかわからない。 ゴールドも後半使えるものが無いから腐る。 惜しいと思うんだけど運営がゴミだな……。 ### 1/5 — Tons of forced adds *2026-08-24, version 1.9.10* Game was great really enjoyed playing but then out of nowhere adds popped up after every match and you can’t close them ### 1/5 — Predatory Trash *2026-08-23, version 1.9.10* $7.99 a piece for multiple useless 15 day passes. Nonstop pop ups trying to get you to buy the passes. Nothing new. One star is too many. ### 1/5 — Fun for a while *2026-08-23, version 1.9.10* Then it becomes an ad festival. ### 1/5 — Pessimo *2026-08-21* Ou você paga ou vai jogar uma partida de 10 segundos a cada 1 hora…não faz sentido nenhum o jogo ser assim ### 1/5 — ごみ *2026-08-13* ゲーム自体はおもしろい 途中から毎回広告うっとおしい 1100円で広告消しても 毎回課金装備の広告でる お金使え感が激しいのでオススメしません ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 遊び始めたら止まらない！ *2026-08-14* シンプルだけど奥が深く、遊び始めると止まらなくなります。ステージを進めるたびに新しい発見があり、成長していく楽しさもあります。テンポよく遊べるので、ちょっとした空き時間にもおすすめです！ ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-08-12, version 1.9.9* No ads love that Best game ever ### 5/5 — No ads? *2026-08-09, version 1.9.8* Everyone is talking about ads but I was playing for a couple hours and hadn’t received a single ad. Maybe my luck is running out soon and I’ll be bombarded with ads 🤷‍♂️. ### 5/5 — 完全初見 *2026-08-05* これは倍増しやすいアプリですね ### 5/5 — Smooth *2026-07-27, version 1.9.5* Finally running smoothly, thanks for working on it team! ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-25, version 1.9.5* Great time ### 5/5 — 광고제거 샀는데 계속나옴 *2026-07-16* 왜이래요? ### 5/5 — Jeff gold *2026-07-15, version 1.9.4* Nicest I ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-07-10, version 1.9.2* Great game, love it no problems what so ever, and for those that complain about ads - there’s 86,400 secs in 24hrs, I’m pretty sure a 30 sec ad here and there will not ruin your day ### 5/5 — Games great but *2026-07-07, version 1.8.10* I’m hooked on this game, absolute ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me But can we please get the stair and weapon levels increased from their current max? If I’m powerful enough I want the satisfaction of being able to absolutely smash through these levels without being capped out. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
