Many of the menus are not translated from Russian into English. The control are not responsive and you have to struggle to select the hero pieces. The Hero’s also do not merge on their own, and you have to manually move them onto the game board to merge them, which is difficult when the touch controls are not responsive. Furthermore, the Hero’s move around on their own randomly between rounds. Hero’s on your bench are randomly dropped on the board and displace your current Hero’s. Overall the game is clunky and a waste of a download. I would give it zero stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Can’t upgrade heroes *2019-08-31* Can’t upgrade to get 2* heroes because of a game riddled with bugs! DO NOT DOWNLOAD! ### 1/5 — So many bugs *2019-06-03, version 1.4* Takes forever to win because it’s broke. Gold system is broke. Everything is broke ### 1/5 — Зависание *2019-05-24, version 1.3* Стабильно зависает в конце каждого 16-го раунда ### 2/5 — Playability needs serious overhaul *2019-08-12* The controls are horrible! Champions don’t auto combine, and having to click, hold and drag them one at a time into the battle field takes far too long when you only have a few seconds between rounds. ### 2/5 — So many bugs makes the game pretty much unplayable *2019-06-02* Fun when it works but it hardly ever works properly, units disappear and then are replaced by different units...really pointless trying to play at this moment ### 2/5 — Could be better... not worth it until the game is fixed *2019-05-20, version 1.0* I know you want to bring awareness but you should of tested the game further. It’s too buggy to even enjoy. Has unexplained race/classification system. ### 2/5 — Has potential but ultimately broken *2019-05-18, version 1.0* Game crashes, and has trouble recognizing when your touching the screen. Has potential but there’s already better auto chess games. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We are already working on this problem! ### 3/5 — Great game, but constant crashing. *2019-05-26, version 1.3* I love this game. It is very fun and easy to pick up. The only frustrating issue is not being able to finish a map sometimes. In late game it will freeze pieces on the board but no one battles which makes it come down to being the last to leave to secure your win (if winning). Will continue to play but hope this gets fixed ASAP. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 3/5 — Good game, needs bug fixes and tweaking *2019-05-25, version 1.3* Not a bad game Pros -pvp -choice between long and short matches -unique heroes Cons -buggy -nothing is explained at first so new users will have a hard time - unit behavior is strange, just lost a match because my units wouldn’t attack anything --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
