### 1/5 — ADS!!

*2026-08-30, version 1.1*

Again so many ads. So tired of the ads!!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-30, version 1.1*

Fix game.

### 1/5 — Greedy developers

*2026-07-05, version 1.1*

No need of advertisements when your game is already P2W

### 4/5 — Almost a five star

*2026-07-03, version 1.1*

Reasons I like:
Pay to remove pop up ads is cheap
Needs improvement:
The heroes sit idle when asked to target the 3rd and or fourth monster but put back on random targeting they start hunting again. After killing the boss that unlocks the ability to open a gate for 8m game gold when I reload the boss can be killed again. The 9.99 skip construction package does not give anything related to skipping constructions.

### 1/5 — Do not buy!

*2026-04-07, version 1.1*

Looks cool at first pay for no ads cannot progress broken unfinished game. Seems to have been abandoned.

### 1/5 — Can’t believe I spent money on this

*2026-03-20, version 1.1*

I paid for the no ads, and then the “hero’s” just never left the tavern, they all just sit there drinking away while I do all the work, this game is horrible and I want my money back

### 2/5 — pop-up AD is severe. I can’t play the game.

*2026-02-22, version 1.1*

Really annoying pop-up AD.
I just want to choose to watch AD or not.

### 3/5 — Laggy

*2026-01-31, version 1.1*

Brilliant game but experiencing a large amount of lag

### 1/5 — Forced Ads

*2025-11-19, version 1.1*

Seems like an entertaining game except for the fact that you are forced to watch pop up ads from time to time just to play the game. I don’t mind ads to obtain extra benefits or resources, but in this day and age you shouldn’t have to watch ads just to play the game. Plenty of other games out there that don’t make you watch ads just to play the basic game.

### 2/5 — Игра хорошая

*2025-09-20, version 1.1*

Однако в игре невероятно много рекламы, из-за чего играть становится невозможно. Я бы поставил игре более высокую оценку, если бы не реклама, которая появляется каждые 30 секунд.
