Do Not Download

Game is a scam. Been waiting for months for the 2nd map to release. Limited game play. Next to impossible to get the legendary warriors. I save up my gems and do the 10 pull for increased chance of legendary character, the game promises at least 1 in 10. Never get them. Game has potential. But until the release of another map do not download.

Seems abandoned, monthly updates and now 4 months silence

Posted 11/3/2025
Update 1 11/15/2025:
There has been no response from the devs, and the leaderboard is growing more skewed by the day. I no longer gain points for PVP, instead when I win, players lose 250+ points. How is anyone supposed to compete with that? I’m not even hacking or cheating, just upgrading things strategically and logging in 2-3 times a day. I will continue my grind until the devs respond or fix this. If you are reading this and considering the game, do yourself a favor: don’t. PVP is cursed.
Update 2 11/22/2025 - congrats devs, it took me less than a month to break the scoreboard. I now have a 300 point lead in PVP and when I defeat someone they lose 1500 points. 2nd place has about 1300 points. I now 0 people out. My power score is in the 90k range and the average next closest is 50k. No hacks, no cheats, just fully optimized and upgraded heroes. At this point idk if anyone can knock me down?
Update 3 11/25 - I now reduce scores by either 2250 or 4500. Mg own score is 1603. I don’t know if people zero out or go negative. Going to keep going until I run out of targets or the game changes.

Well this game was interesting at first and the art style is great, but after sitting at the top of the leaderboard for 2 weeks now and steadily increasing the gap between first and 2nd, it seems pretty clear that the game is abandoned and not going to get anymore updates.

Don’t bother trying to play if you intend to participate in PVP. I have no idea how but I have never lost a single fight— I had 30k heroes fighting 55k teams, now I’m up to 55k+. Each day, 5 people get their scores reduced by 50 through me.

I’m not sure if this is a glitch, something the entire playerbase has overlooked, or just poor balance, but the game isn’t actually playable after about 3-4 days of focused play, let alone 1-2 weeks. I have my entire location 1 town fully upgraded, and my attack research is also maxed now.

Devs, if you’re out there, please don’t give up. You’ve got the making of a really great game and I’d assume it could earn you more still if properly developed.

If the devs respond and the game isn’t abandoned, I’ll post a guide for how I became so strong— for free.

No updates! Don’t spend money! Game DELETED!

As of November, still no updates. Don’t spend money…they don’t update the game. There is only one level, that’s it. Complete waste of money. Also, don’t download if you want something to last awhile.

I think I broke the game. I was bumped down to 2nd place and lose points winning. lol this game is trash.

I give up, GAME DELETED!!!

Junk

4-5 months with no update for chapter two. Instead they crippled the arena - wins = +-11. So I lose points when I beat first place. And first place take --9, +9. Ripped first place and made it completely impossible to retake it. Been a month since they did that. Changed the daily wheel spins out of favor because I noticed verbally. Rare heroes maxed, wasting summons for x450+ useless shards for both Renes and Leah. It seems like they'd rather everyone quit the game. I got the ad removal but I can honestly say it isn't worth it to play this game. Request refund.

Abandoned

Don’t spend money on this the game is abandoned and you can’t get to stage 2

Gets worse the longer you play

Worst game I've ever played. There's too much to cover in a review. I will say, it never ceases to amaze me how they can release a game like this. The graphics are good, it moves well. It seems like some thought went into this. Reality is, it's half an idea for a game, very poorly executed. It's been 6 weeks now and we still don't have chapter 2. Offline rewards are 2h max, they want you to login every 1-2h when there's nothing to do. Sit around and wait for the next ad popup. Keep getting Renés and Leah fragments even though they're maxed and have been 5* for 3 weeks now. If you finish chapter 1, you messed up because now you can't upgrade shop or down scene monsters for dailies. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ so stupid.
Just added 4000 points to a random in arena. Takes -0 points when beaten and only gives 74? When you thought it couldn't get any worse they do the dumbest thing. Rip rank one from you and put it months out of reach. Great. Instead of chapter 2? Ridiculous

Needs Development

I like the pacing of the game. Pretty idle, but there does need to be a more rapid chapter development. There should be auto completed daily task for when you are no longer able to kill monsters… because you killed them all in the chapter. Would love to see more done with maxed out hero shards.

No update

Only has 1 level. Don’t spend $$

Not finished

Only 2 hour offline, no 2nd level, constant ads, limited earnings if the game isn’t running.

Just don’t.

Intriguing at first, enjoyable throughout, and extremely irritating after the short time that it takes to complete. First off money wise, the monthly VIP pack doesn’t work at all. DO NOT WASTE THE $5. You can tell the game is a quick money grab. You can finish chapter 1 within 4-5 hours with no problem. After that though, there’s literally no progressive plus side in continuing to play. It says chapter 2 is coming soon but clearly it’s been saying that for a while according to other reviews. I fully believe this was a pump and dump money grab.

Fun idle game but needs levels

It’s a pretty fun game and pretty. The concept is cool too. However, we need to have access to the other levels.

Abandoned Game

Only the first level has been created. The second level has been “coming soon” for months. I should not have spent money on this game.

When the next update??

I’ve been playing this game for a few days now, and I’ve spent over $30. I’m currently the top player, but there’s no competition, which is getting boring. I don’t know what else to do. I feel like I might need a refund if the update doesn’t come soon. 🙄🙄
