### 4/5 — Good

*2026-05-24, version 1.1.60*

Small ui, good tho

### 2/5 — Not an Idle Game

*2026-05-04, version 1.1.60*

I went through the tutorial and was surprised to find ZERO forced ads. Though as someone who wants an idle game to be mindless button pressing this isn’t it. It is a unique retro thief experience that’s hardly found on mobile but I feel like it’s failing comes from the attempt at trying to capitalize on the idle style so many games have done. Like clash of clans etc.

### 4/5 — Passed the time

*2026-05-01, version 1.1.60*

Not bloated with ads.

### 1/5 — Optional ads?

*2026-03-21, version 1.1.60*

Ads are optional as ive read, however, the game is almost unplayable if you dont watch them. This game wants you to watch ads for almost everything you do, and theyre long too. No 15 second ads here boys, you gotta sit for minutes every single time you need to do something that requires an ad. I may have considered buying the no ads upgrade, but its $15.. bruh, im not spending $15 on this just to turn off one bad aspect of the game. I would have considered $4.99, but not $14.99.

### 5/5 — Too slow on updates. Happy to take your money.

*2026-02-03, version 1.1.52*

Game is well set up with its system for you to spend money though the game is incredibly lacking and the updates come too slow, I’ve already hit the max player level and got to a point the upgrades aren’t worth it and the updates add too little too slowly. It’s been a month since last update of any sort and the next one will likely only give you one new city and you max it in a couple of days and wait a month or two plus for another update. If you are going to spend money only buy what lets you not have to watch ads, the rest is not worth it at all, maybe when the add another realm of cities and more minigames

### 4/5 — Better than most free mobile

*2026-01-31, version 1.1.52*

I’ve barely played, but ads seem to be all optional which is rare these days. And beyond that I don’t really care because it’s fun. No clue if there’s any multiplayer aspects locked behind a later level and honestly I’m doing this review to earn gems. 

TLDR: it’s pretty fun, recommend giving it a try if you’re bored

### 2/5 — T

*2026-01-17*

Game is well set up with its system for you to spend money though the game is incredibly lacking and the updates come too slow, I’ve already hit the max player level and got to a point the upgrades aren’t worth it and the updates add too little too slowly.

### 1/5 — The thief runs scam and cant even play

*2025-12-26, version 1.1.52*

Says i get a sword and some armour on one run then the next one said i got 100k gold didnt get either. Would really like to actually earn the loot it shows me or uts honestly just a dumb game. Not to mention any energy system in any game is a straight up money grab. Do better. Nobody get this game.

### 4/5 — Honestly fun

*2025-12-21, version 1.1.52*

I’m only castle level 2 but the game is fun, easy to understand, and has some fun mini games for in between waiting for your stamina to replenish definitely recommend. Only 4/5 star for now I’ll update it as i progress

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

*2025-12-07, version 1.1.46*

I’m enjoying it so far, the ads actually reward you. Haven’t played but for a day so we shall see how it goes.
