Pretty lacking in terms of gameplay, though, but I understand that it's to be expected from the idle genre. Good to pass the time. ### 2/5 — Needs world chat *2026-08-13, version 143.0.0* Game is fun and interesting but is so boring alone. Need world chat, the discord is run by kids ### 3/5 — decent *2026-08-05, version 143.0.0* i like the game but the ui is very hard to navigate and there should be an easier way to see and equip all your stuff ### 3/5 — Slow *2026-08-04, version 143.0.0* Seems like a slow start without spending cash. No strategy from I’ve seen so far ### 2/5 — Unbalanced *2026-06-05, version 143.0.0* Game is okay but the unbalanced characters really just destroys any fun this game has. ### 1/5 — Toxic community and discord *2026-05-06, version 138.0.0* The community manager in discord allows insults and participates in condescending messages to new players. The dev seemingly doesn’t care (or he just ignores email and dm’s). Honestly the game is meh anyway. You invest time to get to the endgame, which is still pretty much non-existent. Better to invest your time in a game with a real endgame, and non-toxic community ### 1/5 — Mandatory ads *2026-05-05, version 135.0.0* Bad ### 5/5 — Very good game *2026-05-02, version 135.0.0* Solid idle game with generous rewards and lots of game modes. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-01* All is good ### 3/5 — Charm glitch *2026-04-20, version 135.0.0* There is a glitch where when you want to change a stat on charms while maintaining the same tier it does not let you select which attribute you want to change. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 컨텐츠 늘어난게 음네 *2026-07-19* 컨텐츠 늘어난게 음네 ### 1/5 — Не заходит *2026-07-15* Играю больше полугода, но со вчера перестало заходить в игру, неприятно ### 1/5 — Art style change is awful *2026-07-08, version 143.0.0* They totally revamped the art style and a lot of the gameplay away from what it was. It really feels terrible and ugly now and it’s lost all charm to it! ### 1/5 — Не запускается обучение *2026-06-06* Выставляешь второго героя в обучении, а кнопка страта просто не нажимается ### 1/5 — Forced Ads *2026-06-04, version 143.0.0* Basic gameplay functions locked behind forced ads, not just rewards. Very annoying to play and have ads forced every 3 minutes. Disappointing because the game is well designed, but terrible monetization model. ### 1/5 — AD warning *2026-06-03, version 143.0.0* Built in ad if you don’t like ad this is not for you ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-06-03, version 143.0.0* Ads no good ### 1/5 — Forces ads *2026-05-18, version 143.0.0* Every battle has an ad after it ### 1/5 — Community is terrible *2026-05-18, version 143.0.0* The games enjoyable, dev has been making decent new updates and been patching bugs. However he has completely neglected the community. The main community is on the official discord for the game, where 2 people have permissions. One being the developer and the other being one of the developers old guildmates. Time and time again the ex-guildmate has banned/muted members of other guilds for disagreeing with his opinions and sometimes without giving a reason at all. The Dev just completely ignores this and lets the tyrant do whatever he likes. Sad to see good game get ruined by one power hungry individual who runs 8 different guilds in game. Wouldnt recommend joining the discord if you do play the game. ### 1/5 — Ads forced *2026-05-14, version 138.0.0* Terrible forces ads when playing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 재미나구만 *2026-08-09* 아주좋아 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-29* 재미있어요 ### 5/5 — good *2026-07-28* goooooood ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-27, version 143.0.0* Good game ### 5/5 — Show. *2026-07-19* Show. ### 5/5 — Legal *2026-06-28* Top ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-06-01, version 143.0.0* And funny ads lol ### 5/5 — 환불문의 *2026-05-30* 안녕하세요 환불문의드립니다. 17000원 잘못 결제해서 아직 수령은 안했는데 취소부탁드립니다. ### 5/5 — 음... 도트 그래픽 *2026-05-18* 나름 좋아하는데 너무 흐릿한 도트느낌이라 아쉽네요 ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-05-15* Okay game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
