Super fun but has a critical bug

This game is a super fun inventory management roguelike with elements from slay the spire and similar games in its combat system. I really loved playing through the game and progressing however there is currently a major issue holding it back and that is the fact that none of the game modes other than the default game mode currently work. Attempting to play hard mode or the survivor mode just puts you in the regular default mode and as a result you are unable to progress past level 9 talents or unlock harder difficulties. This bug appears to have been reported months ago. I really hope the developers see this and are able to fix it so that I can continue enjoying the game.

So I love the game but it has 2 issues. And dev please read this

Issue one: I don’t love how many ads are in the game, while I understand it’s a free game and ads keep you in business, many of them are extra rewards so would those be gone if I paid for no ads.

Second and bigger issue: there is not a way for me to report an ad but there was one with someone ripping apart a foot for cleaning an infection, I’ve seen ads like that before it’s fine I guess but that one actively made me gag so please get rid of it!

Apart from that it’s a great game. If I saw that gross ad removed I’ll up my star rating

Some things I would like to note down about the game

While playing through the game, it has a very simple concept that I like and its a very fun game. However when going at a point in the game, there are glitched that may not be intentional or im just missing something obvious in the game that was said. Anywho, for the talent system, i have passed floor 10 and doesnt let me unlock more of the perks, and im just now stuck at level 10. There should be a indication for this, but there isnt. Also i even beat Hard I(going to endless( however it doesnt let me progress to another stage.

This game honestly had a lot of potential, seeing as the last update was 5 months ago. Not sure if the devs are planning to go back to this game, if they do that would be much appreciated

Amazing game

I love the game. I’ve been looking for something like this for about a year. I have only one concern. I have beaten the normal difficulty many times. Whenever I choose the hard difficulty mode i get put into a game with the normal difficulty level. How can this be fixed?

Literally WILL NOT allow me to unlock Hard Mode III??

I’ve completed Hard Mode II probably about 4-5 times within the past 24 hours and it still won’t unlock III? I’m so upset 😭 please someone tell me when this bug will be fixed!

Edit: I had to undownload the game because I was so frustrated with nothing unlocking, that I decided to just start over. With my new save file, I have finished Standard mode 3 times now, and I just finished Hard Mode 1 - and still nothing is unlocking! Months of work wasted and for what reason? Please do not download this game if you’re not ready to lose almost half a year’s worth of data in the blink of an eye because nothing unlocks and your game progress freezes. I’m genuinely so upset 😭

Love it

Absolutely addicting game love it only problem is the pop up to get more energy for an ad when you run out of energy is over your inventory and if you are tapping your wepon it opens and then you click the video very annoying because I bought ad free. Just move the button for energy up please!

Fake Wheel

Yeah I don’t think you *ad* wheel is even good cause I had 10 add tickets and guess what nothing but +5 gems the worst reward on there. Yeah that totally makes sense with a 1/6 probability, not only does getting twice in a row make it a 1/36 or 3 in a row multiplying that even more. But an ad every second is insane, and to have the audacity to ask for 10$ for *less* ads. Which I’m guessing only removes the adds between levels. Which is still insanely greedy. These devs not only ripped a game of steam but then are trying to cash cow it. Go play something else don’t give them the add revenue.

good game with a few bugs

this game is honestly really fun if its ur type of game but there are a handful of bugs such as trying to go to sum of the explanation or question marks sometime when u click them ur character will keep walking never reaching whatever’s there rn ive beat the final boss twice but when i try to go to the book its keeps going and this is the best run ive ever had i feel like they should definitely add different modes rather than just difficulties make it a live service type of game like skul the hero slayer. theres a few things holding this game back from being amazing devs if u respond i can go in more detail ab some ways to make the game more enjoyable

I love the game, but I have some issues

I’ve been playing this game for a few weeks now, and I’ve had a ton of fun. The gameplay is simplistic, strategic, and very engaging. I love how no two games are ever the same, and each game is a new challenge. This being said, I do unfortunately have a few issues with the game. I’ve been unable to upgrade to level 10 since I’ve been playing. Once I upgrade to level 9, the button to purchase the upgrade for level 10 never appears and won’t let me get it. I’ve also not been able to unlock any other game modes besides Hard 1. Possibly due to the glitch I mentioned where I can’t upgrade anymore, I’ve also not been able to get any further than level 15 in a Standard mode game due to enemies always becoming too powerful and me not being able to get any stronger gear or upgrade my stats. So between the level upgrade and games modes being locked out for me, I’ve not been able to play any more of the game. If this one glitch could be fixed I think I’d have no issues with this game at all. Though having a story of some kind, even just a single paragraph would be nice

Fun game

The game is fun and enjoyable, the menus and some things are a little bit buggy, I haven’t been able to attempt hard mode because after beating the standard mode and selecting hard mode in the difficulty settings it never actually starts hard mode. The talents are also fairly buggy where it won’t let me exceed a certain limit without first deleting the game, redownloading, and then restoring purchases, occasionally it works, but I’ve had to do that 3 times already.
If the bugs get fixed the gameplay is at least a 4 star, maybe even a 5, but the issues are making me question the money spent for removing the adds.

The ads ruin it

It’s a good game with fun mechanics and battle system but the amount of time you’ll spend watching ads is equal the the amount you’ll be actually playing. Overall I like the game play it just needs more story, a few grammatical changes to understand the mechanics better, and far less ads. I understand free games need ads to make money, but at this point it’s nearly unplayable because of the constant interruptions from them. With a $10 pay wall to remove the non-voluntary ads and a reward system to let you skip voluntary ones it seems like the game is really held back by the need for cash flow. But what of it I get to play between the ads is a fairly decent game

I love the concept

I loved playing this game and I was progressing through the levels and I really enjoyed the randomizers and things of the sort but then when I unlocked the new character through collecting puzzle pieces. I could no longer progress in the game but overall I love the game. If they could fix the progression issues again and added more to the game then I would be playing this game very very often.

game bugging wont let me advance

i've beaten difficult 1 so many times but it wont unlock the next difficulty!! pls fix

Fun but buggy

I really enjoy the game but have this issue where I beat it on hard 2 but it doesn’t count for progression or time additionally the game won’t let me progress through the talents menu. But overall it a fun game the play when you have down time or just need something to do while chilling

Fun but

I really enjoy this game. It’s super fun but I’ve had problems. The game unlocked stuff out of order and wouldn’t let progress normally. I deleted it and redownloaded it but it won’t let me restore my old data. Super disappointing. I also bought something in game and now I can’t get it back

Hard mode doesn’t work

None of the other modes work so it gets very boring and repetitive after you’ve beaten the normal mode a few times

A fun little game with a lot of drawbacks

Good:
Fun little inventory management game for free.
Can spend a long time on the game without realizing it.
Unique app gameplay.(apparently it’s a knock off of a steam game)
Good replay ability because going for different builds is cool(rng permitted)
Bad:
Ads ads ads ads. Finish a level AD, go deeper into the dungeon AD, finish a battle do you want to see an AD? Do you want to see an AD? do you want to see an AD?
It’s a lot even for mobile game standards.
Not a ton of things to do after the first 2 missions. Good replay ability yes, but that’s basically all you are doing is replaying.

The ugly (fixable bugs)
I keep running into the same 3 bugs that stop this game from being 3 stars at least(probably 4 because I really like the gameplay)

1: sometimes you are not able to progress because when you click on a room your character just walks forever and doesn’t get there. It says they do on the map but then they just do not ever actually arrive. Goes hand in hand with number 2 because the only fix is to do over the floor and if you quite or the game crashes….

2: if you have to reload a floor sometimes your inventory “loses” a space. It suddenly is greyed out like you haven’t unlocked it yet. If you move any piece of equipment back over it you “unlock” the slot again…. Minus anything that was in the space beforehand. It’s a great way to suddenly get stuck walking into a combat without XYZ vital equipment.

3: sometimes you just… can’t move any items. You win a combat and the loot appears to let you decide what you want to pick up aaaaaaamd nothing moves. That’s ok move on, and now nothing in your inventory moves. Or from the shop, or from the next fight. Or ever again unless you go through the whole level without picking anything up. Even restarting the floor doesn’t fix anything

It’s a fun game but it has some issues

The main issue I’m having right now is that when I start a new game and try to change the mode it won’t change from standard to Hard 1 even though I have it unlocked

Look ima need to be fair. Great game shady business

Its a clone of backpack hero on steam. Admittedly this is easier and free (with ads) but its still a clone. If there were certain aspects too it that made it different gameplay wise than it gets a 5. (And i will be happy to update this review if that happens)

Good game play
Is a clone of Backpack Hero
Easy to spend an absurd amount of time on
Not alot of options for characters and build variety.
(Spam heal wand/mana and armor with 1 good weapon) and grats your beating most the modes within 4-5 tries if rng is bad)

Ideas for additional gameplay aspects?
• obvi more chars that each do something interesting and can be grinded out or bought
•can spend in game currency or get drops to change beginning load out every start
•enemy that steals an item but gives it back at end of round
•some bosses could halve your energy but have less overall health
•surprise encounters
• wand summonable/droppable or purchasable pet to help fight/heal/status effect
•give bows a reason to be used by giving them a quiver to collect 3 arrows (ranger character hmmmm?)
• once every stage get a pick a door that could lead to a trap, item, hidded room or an encounter
•maybe some clever dialogue that can pop on screen (taunt,joke,tip,reference)

A few ideas that could be helpful and hopefully my criticism is valid to you. Thanks for reading:)

(Ps hey can i be in the credits if you guys like these ideas and use em😂😂)

Backpack hero clone

When i try to continue my game it just goes to a black screen. There have been other minor glitches but this one’s the most annoying.

So you completely copied backpack hero
Fine
Make it the fun version of backpack hero.

Limitations like the stopwatch relic hurting you. Why is that a thing?

Allow bows to use all arrows in front of them.

Bring keys back. I get it you want people to watch ads. We’re already watching them by just playing.

Make hatchets 1 cost again

Allow the blacksmith to upgrade an item more than once.

Make your own new items or allow us to make custom items and/or edit items. You can just make it a third game mode custom mode. No rewards just for fun.

You copied a game. Do something different
