Thank you for playing our game and leaving us a nice review! This is much appreciated. ### 5/5 — A Very Satisfying Slow Burn *2025-05-17* For the fan of tappers with great idle mechanics. A fairly simple game that will take your time actively and give the option to leave it idle for some nice bonuses that you will never will time. Charming graphics, fun dialogue and very receptive developers who interact with their community. If you’re confused the game has plenty of tutorials to look through but all you really need to do is go on expeditions and tap for exp or money as needed. Looking forward to this games future! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! We are very happy to hear you enjoyed the game. 😄 ### 5/5 — Excellent Spiritual Successir *2025-05-17* I played Tapknight for 140 hours and this game has that same level of easy going humor. The devs have placed a lot of text within the game and it feels like they’re speaking to me from within. Please read the tutorial and just have fun with it. The game really pops out once you get past the learning curve. Also, the genetic belief of No IAP and ads is something that should not be overlooked. These guys are doing this because they LOVE making games. Tapknight 2 when??? **Developer response:** Thank you for reviewing our game and for all the kind words! 😄 TK2 inbound? 👀 ### 5/5 — Simple and fun *2025-05-16* It’s a very simple game that has a few different ways to grind out gold and XP. Level up skills, watch your numbers get bigger, fight more bosses and get more artifacts. The game isn’t currently designed to go on forever so if you want an idle game you can complete currently this is one you’d like. Devs are very active and always looking to fix bugs and stuff. Both of their games are well done. Menus are easy to navigate. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the nice words! Also, thank you for taking the time to review our game! We are always happy to hear someone enjoyed our game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was this made by AI? *2026-05-11* Completed the game thinking the ‘new game+’ mode might actually unlock some content, but it seems to be more of exactly the same. So many design choices here that I can’t imagine being made by a human: it makes no sense to play this game actively, resource acquisition offline is many times that if playing actively; skills like ‘perception’ (and in that case the associated mechanic) are completely useless and do nothing. The gameplay loop is, as I said mostly offline and there is NO additional functionality unlocked as you progress. Upgrading tools and proficiency at tapping is pointless because it never keeps up with just closing the game. Don’t spend money on this, unless you want to be bemused. ### 1/5 — Sadly Inaccessible *2026-04-11* Hi. I wanted to try your game out but it's not accessible with voiceover. Could you implement accessibility features in the future? For advice on how to do this, check the Agent of Adventure game series. ### 1/5 — Extremely opaque *2025-09-21* Unfortunately this game does a terrible job of explaining itself. Countless hours and failed expeditions, and no guidance on why or how to raise your chances of success. Feels like it's trying to pressure me into buying my way into success but there are no in-app purchases. Just very weird design choices. I guess you just have to keep raising your stats but doing so has made no difference at all to my chances of success. Needlessly frustrating with no sense of reward or progress. I'm giving up on it. **Developer response:** I’m sorry that you’re not having an easy time with the game. Feel free to join our Discord if you have questions. 😄 ### 1/5 — Game not loading *2025-09-20* I’m on ipad and the game just don’t load. Even after mins of waiting. I am on iOs 15.8.2. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear this. What iOS version do you have? We may need to test this and make sure to advertise it’s not compatible. Thank you for letting us know! ### 1/5 — Waaaaaaaaay too slow *2025-09-17* Been playing for like two months and barely any progress. Like I’ve given up even opening because I maybe can upgrade one thing a day and makes zero difference. I liked the other game by this company but this one is bad **Developer response:** This game is meant to be a slowburn-style game by design. Sorry to hear it didn’t vibe with you. We appreciate you trying our game, though. 😄 ### 2/5 — Number doesn't go up *2025-09-12* Idle games really one have one requirement. Your number should go up. So why doesn't number go up? I'm on expedition 150 and I feel like no progress has been made. **Developer response:** This is a slow burn idle game that isn’t just a numbers go up clicker. It has elements of idle play and clicker. Thank you for trying out our game. Even if you didn’t enjoy it, we are glad you have it a go. 😄 ### 3/5 — Keeps glitch *2026-07-31* Fix it 🙏 ### 3/5 — Seems okay *2025-12-08* I've had games hurt my wrist before but I've never felt like I've made such little progress. If you don't want the player to progress through tapping then why make it an option at all? Needs more engaging introductory play. Tutorial is completely unrewarded. ### 3/5 — Wish it had events/ mmo like functions *2025-06-03* I dont play games if you can change the time in your phone for offline rewards. And honestly in this day and age a game needs some kinda in game community events etc to keep people interested. It needs to be somewhat competitive. And thats also in the best interest of the dev to make money **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback. Thank you for trying our game and leaving us a review. We appreciate it. We made this game to be played by the individual to focus on fun for them. Not to make anyone feel like they need to do better than anyone but to be able to enjoy 5-10 mins a day just unwinding from the troubles of the day. I hope that helps explain our thought process. ### 5/5 — I love this game ! *2026-07-05* Honestly I find the game almost perfect, the story, the gameplay, the style and the music, everything is perfect. There are No Ads and No Pay to Win. Very nice game !👍🔥 ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — delivery *2026-06-30* i was a big fan of tap knight and finally got around to playing this, and this game absolutely delivers on the original ethos of no iaps and is pretty much everything one could want from an rpg-style idle game. 100% worth sinking some time into if you enjoy idle games ### 5/5 — Perfect Idle Experience *2026-05-20* Ignore the negative reviews complaining about how ‘slow’ progression is. That’s the entire point of this game. 0 ads and in app purchases was enough to catch my eye but the actual gameplay is exactly what an idle game is supposed to be. Incredibly incremental, but without becoming tedious or too granular. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-02-10* Not bad at all, no IAP or any sort of ads, the progress is purely based on how you manage your resources. Gets a bit repetitive after a while ...wished there was more stuff to do. 8/10 ### 5/5 — A true idle experience *2025-11-07* I absolutely love this game, it looks great and the mechanics just work. Idle games have grown too exponential, this game is a breath of fresh air from that experience, it’s very slow and you have to plan your upgrades which I find really fun. The graphics are unique and fun, the soundtracks are fitting, and the game explains its mechanics well, plus gives tons of sources if you need more help. 10/10 idle game. ### 5/5 — Not good at it so far but enjoying. *2025-11-02* I’m always hitting the wrong tabs but enjoying the game. Thanks for this :). Was not very good at your other game but this ones a real gem! All of your games are great haha. ### 5/5 — Fun to Play *2025-10-10* Little as and ipa free Isle/clicker Game. Love it ❤️ ### 5/5 — . *2025-09-12* Slipped on wet moss and died 10 out of 10 **Developer response:** Love this review! Thank you so much. 😄 ### 5/5 — A game with no micro transactions *2025-08-13* It’s something rare to see **Developer response:** I don’t want micro transactions when I play games. I wouldn’t dare put them in our game. Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Stubbed my toe 10/10 *2025-08-10* Went out on an expedition, stubbed my toe and walked back home crying. Tried to then buy a sword from the blacksmith and he shamed me for my lack of money. 10/10 amazing game **Developer response:** This has to be my favorite review! 🤣 Thank you so much and we are glad you’re enjoying the game. 😁 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
