### 3/5 — An idle game that isn’t idle

*2019-11-28, version 1.35*

A great game on pc, but the idle aspect doesn’t even exist on this version, it only runs when you’re on the app which defeats the whole purpose of the game

### 3/5 — Please Give me a reason to keep playing

*2018-12-04, version 1.35*

Loved it, was totally into it, would be so easy to make alternate storylines, actually had a blast and then, it was over.

### 4/5 — Love it but please add more levels

*2018-01-02, version 1.35*

Great game.  Reminds me of playing dungeons and dragons as a kid.  Would like to see a bigger world with more levels added. There are a couple secret levels to play, but would like to see more places to go.

### 3/5 — Good but...

*2017-07-30, version 1.35*

The game is good but the control is weird. It goes by itself and I can't stop it and go where I want. I turned auto raid off and it still does it. I think you should add some joystick controls and chest to make it more better and more realistic for the chest. I hop you add these things. I appreciate it if you did.

### 4/5 — Good

*2017-05-26, version 1.35*

Great Game but ads are broken. The close ad X is blocked and inaccessible.

### 4/5 — Great game but...

*2017-04-13, version 1.35*

Can we remove adds for a small fee? Half of the ads won't close and force me to reset the app.

### 3/5 — Not enough content

*2016-09-15*

It was an excellent game, but it was in need of a few levels. Also, it was too easy.

### 4/5 — GREAT GAME

*2016-07-15, version 1.35*

This game is truly amazing, I've had tons of fun with it, and it's the best idle game. My only problem is that sometimes when I click something it doesn't click it and I can't carry it over because the item is too small. And the dialogue needs to be fixed.

### 4/5 — Great game! But needs an update.

*2016-06-11, version 1.35*

This game is amazing but after a while it's getting boring using the same thing over and over again don't get me wrong this game is really fun but maybe in the next update you could put some new weapons/armor <3

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-05-29, version 1.35*

Addicted to it on PC

### 4/5 — Amazing....ish

*2016-05-23, version 1.35*

This is an amazing game but the combinator is unusable because the weapon/armor pop up blocks it

### 3/5 — Great Game - crippling terrible inventory UI

*2016-05-04, version 1.35*

Great concept of a game. Some bosses just become tiresome DPS tests as they regen faster than your party can damage. If the taps did more damage but had a cool down, it would improve the game as you can't often see what you're tapping with a finger constantly blocking the screen. Inventory UI is terrible, as so many buttons are on the screen (combinator, auto sell, etc) when they are only used in the inventory screen. Also, the floating pop up in the inventory screen blocks you from properly seeing what you've selected or dragged. The Combinator is utterly unusable because of this.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-03-11, version 1.35*

Great game can you guys make a paid version to get rid of adds. I hate viewing them after ever dungeon I finish.

### 5/5 — SECRET HIDDEN IN GAME

*2016-03-06, version 1.35*

At the final dungeon with the boss that drops the mirror to restart the game, instead use a floor skip on the dungeon and you will teleport to a NaN room with a secret boss, defeat him and I dont know know what happens next,as I have never beaten him.

### 1/5 — Gets stuck in portrait mode, terrible UI

*2017-03-10, version 1.35*

Game likes to get stuck in portrait mode, forcing me to quit the app and restart it. The UI is also terrible - lots of big popups that cover important info.

### 1/5 — What a mess

*2017-01-16, version 1.35*

When the opening dialogue bragged about "lot's [sic] of treasure" I should have known this was going to be a disaster. Spelling and grammar is atrocious, accessibility standards aren't met (the mute icon is just a less opaque version of the unmute icon, for example), and overall it just doesn't put any effort toward user experience.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2015-12-06, version 1.3*

Uninstalled because of the constant ads and the difficulty in selecting items

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2015-12-05, version 1.3*

This game is lame. If you want a really awesome roguelike adventure game get endless depths 2. I gave that 5 stars

### 1/5 — This is boring

*2015-11-15, version 1.0*

I don't find constantly tapping a screen to be much fun. Now, I'm off to play a real game.

### 2/5 — Great but has bugs

*2018-01-10, version 1.35*

It’s a great game but it has bugs. Like your gear disappears sometimes it can be equipped you get off then it’s no longer there.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2017-05-22, version 1.35*

Good concept, but my biggest issue is not only the fact that there are ad's but when they do pop up I am not even able to close them unless I close the app. Could be a good game....   if I could play it for more than a minute

### 2/5 — Want to play, but...

*2017-04-19, version 1.35*

The game is a neat concept but within a few minutes the heroes stop doing anything at all. No attacking, no moving, just standing there like mannequins. 

This app hasn't been updated since June 2016 as of writing this, so it's unlikely these glaring issues will be fixed. Too bad, really.

### 2/5 — Loses save every time

*2016-08-29, version 1.35*

Game only keeps its save as long as it's running in background. Soon as I swipe it closed the save is gone. Needs a fix.... I've beat it before I know it's a short game but it's progress I lose not prestige....

### 2/5 — Broken

*2015-11-26, version 1.2*

The new update kept on taking me to the website and when I finally beat the boss I used the mirror taped on my character and lost all progress please fix

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2020-03-17, version 1.35*

I have played this game for about a year and I have to say I have never found a better game. I have searched and searched a better game and this is still the best.

*2018-06-10, version 1.35*

### 5/5 — Great game. A bit short.

*2018-03-07, version 1.35*

I beat this game in like 30 mins. There is a second one but not on iOS. Please port

### 5/5 — Please update

*2017-03-10, version 1.35*

Great game with great quality and I see potential, it's been a while since you have updated it or added to the game and it does need some fixes but overall great game👍 just please add expand and update some it would really make the game feel and be a lot better
