So I was really sad and I was trying to find ways to play and then I go on the App Store I don’t see the first one but I do see the second one. So I started playing it and this is only the second day I had it and it is AWESOME not better mainly because of the fact that you can’t have all 4 people on a team but that is it. ### 2/5 — 7 Years, No Updates *2026-02-08* I got about 20 hours into the game before I realized that the game is not actually being updated anymore. I was looking to transfer my saved game from iPhone to iPad, and realized there is no game center support. No cloud save. And to make me feel even sillier, I spent about $10 on the in game ad removal and some upgrades before realizing the game is old and unsupported. Sad because I was having fun. One major issue is the UI stretches to the ends of the phone and you will have a hard time accessing bottom row inventory slots. ### 3/5 — Please fix Apple layout issue *2022-12-14* I love this game! Please fix the IOS layout issue - the game info runs off the screen and I cannot read how many gems I have. I also cannot open the inventory without it closing the app. ### 4/5 — Great idle game, but quite buggy *2022-11-25* It’s in the heading. ### 4/5 — Es macht Spaß aber… *2022-09-03* Ich habe erst sehr spät dieses Spiel entdeckt und es macht mir unheimlichen Spaß. Grinden für besseres Equipment und nachdem man es geschafft hat, bei alle Dungeons den Boss zu besiegen, kann man im Schwierigkeitsgrad aufsteigen. Aber es sieht leider so aus als wäre hier kein Support mehr von Hersteller zu erwarten, lasse mich aber auch gerne eines besseren belehren. Wenn ich jetzt ein Dungeon betrete, hängt das Spiel sich immer auf. Habe diverse Sachen versucht, aber ohne Erfolg. Bei dem Standbild kann ich dennoch in das Pause Menü wechseln, hier komme ich dann aber nicht mehr raus 🤷‍♂️😅. Nutze ein IPhone 12 Pro. ### 4/5 — Really great game……but. *2022-06-24* I love this game so much. I want to level up my characters and my god hand and balancing souls bound gear so the next ascension is a little easier. Loads of fun. But I can’t take things off the bottom row of my inventory without switching apps. And this is irritating. Move the inventory box up a bit off the bottom of the screen and you’ve got yourself a 5/5. ### 3/5 — Could be better layout for iPhone *2021-12-07* Great game so far, one of those good distractions that pull you in enough to allow you to speed up reality. My only issues at the interface being so close to the borders that it cuts out if you have a phone with a notch or a swipe up home button. Accessing any of the UI elements near the top or bottom is a constant fight with interacting with the iPhone features that use up those spots. Best example is when you try to interact with the inventory, I always would end up touching the Home Screen button and the game would pause because I have gone out of the game technically. I can never see how many gems I have due to the notch of my iPhone. I end up just feeling things to access the bottom row of my inventory and that’s if I can open it with out touching the Home Screen button. Overall great game just needs to be more device friendly ### 4/5 — We need something new *2021-04-05* We need an update I’ve been playing this game for like 2 years I love it but I wish there was something new like a dungeon or anything new would make it more fun ### 3/5 — Update! *2021-03-14* Please Update,many bugs ### 3/5 — I don’t like the pixel art, and why do the entities have circles under them? *2021-02-10, version 1.1* I don’t like the game... sorry. 🤷🏼‍♂️ ### 3/5 — Viele bugs *2020-12-16* An sich gutes Spiel. Nur nerven die bugs. Zb beim Werbung gucken friert das Spiel ein und man muss das lvl von vorne beginnen und hat nicht mal den boost erhalten. Bitte bugs beheben! ### 4/5 — I like the game but... *2020-08-13* For whatever reason the game does not fit my phone well and as a result when i have to click inventory it thinks im exiting the app and when i try to drag an item to a character it will not work. ### 2/5 — Boost button broke the game *2020-08-06, version 1.1* I press the boost and watched the ad and it didn’t change the screen it is stuck on the title before you even load in ### 5/5 — I’m addicted! *2020-06-04* I love this game and I don’t see any problem with it, it is amazing and I love the style! ### 4/5 — Generously giving 4 stars *2020-03-01, version 1.1* I really wanna give this a 5 star because the game mechanics is fun! My problem is the user interface just sucks balls.. like seriously make an update to fit the screen for iPhone 11 Pro Max please! I have a hard time clicking my inventory without pausing the game, items on the very bottom slot just makes me minimize my app. I can’t even see how many gems I have because the top screen is covered by my speaker!! I’ve supported this app so I hope the game developer makes a fix for the new iPhone screen displays! ### 5/5 — Good for a stream *2020-02-06, version 1.1* Will stream on YouTube (YT: Jarrod A. Freeman Author)? ### 5/5 — One problem *2020-01-25* Only problem is that it sometimes crashes after ads. Works perfectly on iPhone 5 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on modern iPhones *2021-02-01, version 1.1* If you have a phone with the top bar, menus and text are obscured. Makes the game largely unplayable. ### 1/5 — Come on Man! *2020-11-19* I paid $15 to REMOVE ADS and another $5 to unlock the last dungeon. I invested $20 into this game because it works very well with a stylus, which I use because of severe arthritis. For $20, I should be able to bypass ads for bonuses. I paid to remove ads and it wasn’t cheap. Iron horse needs to come back to this game and add RESTORE PURCHASES and REMOVE ALL ADS FOR BONUSES when the $15 package has been purchased. Then I will raise to 5 stars. Beware if you buy anything. There is no way to recover it if you have to change phones. I would search for the original Idle Sword and try that before investing in this one. The first one has the real indie game feel, where this one has been revamped for maximum monetization. ### 1/5 — iPhone X and Up (warning) *2020-11-16, version 1.1* Game isn’t set up for full screen. Some selections are just out of reach and other part of the UI is cut off. ### 1/5 — It’s a good game *2019-11-25, version 1.1* But the screen extends beyond the boundaries of my device. It needs more optimizations bc it’s half unplayable in this state ### 1/5 — OPTIMIZE *2019-05-16, version 1.1* This game is very well made, well, except for iphone X. PLEASE optimize then it'd be a 5 star game EASY! ### 1/5 — Обман *2019-03-30, version 1.1* Нет русского ### 1/5 — Needs Optimization for iPhone X *2018-12-31, version 1.1* This game is not optimized for iPhone X. Most text and info is blocked. If this if fixed, then this could be a 4 or 5 star idle game ### 1/5 — The ads make the game not fun *2018-06-17, version 1.0* Ever time I get a ad the game stop working for 10 to 30mins I hope that get fix ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2018-06-14, version 1.0* Game seemed ok, but I really don’t like being forced to watch ads when you prestige. Also, the game doesn’t load back properly after it plays an add. Easier to quit than put up with it. ### 1/5 — God awful *2018-06-13* Buggy as hell and a mess on the X. Avoid! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Игра требует обновления *2026-03-13* Лучшее во что я играл, хоть обновления и были 7 лет назад. Но жду и верю что разработчики захотят возродить эту игру. ### 5/5 — The TINIEST issue *2024-01-20* the game is absolutely, could play forever. my only issue is that annoyingly with an iphone xr you have absolutely no idea on the amount of gems you have, and when accessing your inventory it’s pauses the game (which really doesn’t even bother me) i just wanna know how many gems i got. ### 5/5 — MSG off my life *2023-07-08* It's too good guys, I just wish we have Idle sword 3 . Love u guys, u guys make a great game so far.❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 ### 5/5 — Old but good *2022-08-23, version 1.1* I really enjoy the early stages - currently ascension lvl 8 haha ### 5/5 — I really love it *2022-06-22, version 1.1* When I first played the game it was the actual first one and it was on armor games.com and I had loved the game then they took it off of the website.
