Hope the update comes soon. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just a rip off *2026-04-30* This game basically steals the exact formula of a free pc game called magic archer, down to the mechanics and everything ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-04-28* Frequent forced ads after 10 min of play ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-04-23* Once you get to the 2nd stage there are more forced ads than gameplay ### 1/5 — Ad simulator *2026-04-22* If you love ads play this! I love idle games so I was excited when I saw this. After the first part you literally get an ad every 2 minutes!!! I think it is not worth to buy the no ads since every other review states it’s only a few hours of gameplay… at least change the time between ads to like 10 minutes or something because it’s unplayable to me like this. I’ve deleted and hopefully one day it’ll be better. ### 1/5 — Ads are rediculous! *2026-04-18* I got an ad every 2-3 minutes ### 1/5 — Forced Ads *2026-04-12* Forced Ads during gameplay made me uninstall so fast ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-04-09* Was fun until u go to next stage then the game forces ads on you. Could of been fun but forceing ppl to watch ads ruins it ### 2/5 — Forced ads every 45 seconds *2026-04-23* It was a little fun but the forced ads are forcing me to give it a poor review ### 2/5 — Paid 5 for no ads *2026-04-19* Paid $5 for no ads only to beat the game super quick… once you reach Valhalla there’s no more after. And it doesn’t take long to reach it. 1.99 for no ads would be worthy, but not 5. Also it gets stale after the 2nd area. ### 3/5 — It’s okay… *2026-04-09* The game has a genuinely interesting premise, with a surprisingly layered progression system. Stats unlock classes, classes boost your stats, and items feed back into the loop. There’s even a karma system, which adds a bit of flavor. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long to realize the depth is mostly front-loaded. Each stage plays out the same way with different visuals, and once you’ve unlocked everything in the first stage, there’s not much left to discover. There are new items and classes later (with a few jokes thrown in), but the core experience doesn’t really evolve. The game is also very short—about 2–3 hours total across four stages—and lacks any kind of NG+ or replay incentive. By the end, I found myself putting something on in the background just to get through it. I didn’t personally encounter ads due to an aggressive filter, though the game does offer a cheap ad-removal purchase. Because of that, I can’t fully judge how intrusive they are. Overall, it’s a solid concept with a nice art style and some clever mechanics, but it feels shallow and short-lived—more like a brief distraction than a fully fleshed-out game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why is this fun?! *2026-04-25* I don’t know why but this idle game is freaking relaxing 😂 ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing *2026-04-24* I really enjoyed this game it was nice and short which I would love to see more levels or add a rebirth mode which they said they were adding soon and trust me I’ve been waiting for it, I’d say give it a shot ### 5/5 — Love the game and idea *2026-04-24* I really enjoyed this game and wish it was longer. I hope I see when the update goes out for the prestige bc I am all about it. I love how just when you are starting to feel OP you get an upgrade that cuts your speed so you have to work your way up again. Awesome job, give me more. ### 5/5 — Kinda cool *2026-04-22* Could be really good game if all the standard end game mechanics and Grindy things are added to the game Equip,pets,ascension,events etc ### 5/5 — Fun, has potential *2026-04-15* It’s a fun idle game that specifically involves Axe Throwing, based off other reviews it seems that it’s pretty short, and I agree with a Prestige option will help with replay ability, i believe you should also give cosmetic options for your character that when you buy these upgrades it shows them on him (like the sunglasses) different targets other than just changing the material of said target (like in example, have him hit clay pigeons, or on Valhalla, have him attack Frost Giants) and maybe have a mode to go against other axe throwers in order to move to the next stage (aka a boss battle, with each a special aspect for them throwing) to give some point to progress a story. Overall fun and simple, just needs more substance before you lose the fans ### 5/5 — I enjoyed it *2026-04-14* Took me a little under 4 hours to clear. I have nothing negative to say about it. I just hope when prestige comes out it doesn’t make me start over since it forces me to start a new game after beating it, other than that it’s 5 stars!! ### 5/5 — Fun game. *2026-04-10* Recommended. ### 5/5 — Fun but short *2026-04-10* It’s a good game, but I completed it in under 24 hours total, with that maybe be 4-5 hours of active play. I will complete it a second time and then just wait for prestige options because honestly this has potential but it needs a steeper curve. ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-04-27* I will definitely update to 5 stars as soon as they give some updates to make the game longer ### 4/5 — Good game. *2026-04-24* It’s a good game to play on while you’re on break/lunch at work. There’s no offline rewards, which doesn’t make this a “real” idle game. Anybody remember Kongregate? I’ve mainly played idle/clicker games on Kong. Also Karma Supremacy says it reduces Attack Speed BY 90%, not TO 90%. Major difference. Increasing your Dexterity should still increase your Attack Speed, but it doesn’t. Instead it reduces your Attack Speed to 90%. Hopefully this gets fixed. Hope there’s more updates coming soon, like the prestige system and more worlds/realms. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
