### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-08-19*

Once you get past understanding the menus, builds and stats etc it becomes an extremely fun time killer. For any newbies that are confused, you don’t have to use all the load-out slots at the top in the beginning you can just use the ‘Main’ load out, the others (#2/#3etc) aren’t required until later on when you start creating different build types depending on your items. Also in the Arena mode make sure you have 3 different builds locked in without any item being used on the other builds and the build types such as ‘Poison Execute’ cannot be repeated across builds otherwise it won’t let you lock them in.

**Developer response:** Thank You! 🙏

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-18*

This game is very relaxing to play. The beginning you feel OP and later you have to start making your build connect as you dive deeper into the levels. You can’t always stick with one build because you might run into a boss that has high resistance. This game is still very new so definitely has a lot of potential!

**Developer response:** Thank You very much 🙏

### 5/5 — Absolutely loving this game

*2026-08-17*

This game is great, it’s like a looter shooter without the shooter. It really gives you the feeling of when you’re farming in a game for a slightly better item of the one you already have, and the dopamine rush from finding that upgraded item is just awesome.

My only comment at the moment, is some things might need a bit more explaining. It’s easy enough to get stuck in right away, just click buttons and work stuff out, but some more technical things might need explaining. One thing that springs to mind, is how raid XP is calculated as I can’t quite figure that out yet - sometimes I get 1, sometimes I get 5, and I’m not sure how or why. 

Regardless, this is such a simplistic yet addictive game, and I cannot put it down.

**Developer response:** Thank You for the Kind words :)
I understand exactly what You mean regarding the Informations but I also don‘t wanna put too much details inside the gameplay because I fear to loose that „minimal magic feeling“.
But the Discord is very active! Come join and ask me or the other players, I am always happy to help. And Players are starting to create a Wiki Right now for all that in depth knowledge!

### 5/5 — Oh my

*2026-08-16*

Takes some getting used to. Not much of a tutorial, which is alleviated by helpful hints when clicking on everything. Very satisfying grind, extremely satisfying sound design. Probably my favorite part.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot 🙏

### 4/5 — Good game but unplayable

*2026-08-16*

Really enjoy the gameplay, but due to bugs whole equipments get deleted/removed so its impossible to start getting back into it

**Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for your feedback. I’ll be honest—the last few days were a bit rough while I was making some necessary backend changes due to so many new players, and I’m really sorry that your equipment was affected. 
The issue has now been resolved, and version 1.0.7 in the App Store is stable. Please give it another try—and if anything is still missing, contact me through Discord so I can personally look into it!

### 5/5 — Actually surprisingly catchy

*2026-08-12*

This game is super minimalistic but it makes it really easy to understand and surprisingly catchy I find myself just playing it when I’m bored. Game is fun get it and just loot.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot 🙏

### 5/5 — Incredibly fun.

*2026-08-11*

Simple game but tons of depth. Satisfies the incremental and loot goblin itch perfectly.

**Developer response:** Thank You! 🙏

### 5/5 — Sehr coole Entwicklung

*2026-08-03*

Das Spiel hat als einfacher Dopamin Kick angefangen, sich über die letzten 2-3 Wochen noch so krass weiterentwickelt. Liebe den aktiven Discord und wie responsive Dev ist. Man kann das Spiel aktiv mitgestalten und es kommen alle paar Tage neue Features und Updates.  Hunts, PvP.. wer sowas liebt, wird das Spiel noch mehr lieben

**Developer response:** Vielen lieben Dank 🙏

### 3/5 — Not working - yellow screen

*2026-07-26*

It worked fine when i played as a guest. However, as soon as a log in with apple, the game does not work anymore: yellow screen when I open the game and I can’t do anything

**Developer response:** Hey this is a known bug I have fixed but I need to publish a new Version. For now you can restart your phone and it will work - Players on the Discord reported that workaround.  

Sorry for that!

### 5/5 — My New Crippling Addiction

*2026-07-09*

This game has ruined my productivity in the best way possible. Pure loot chasing dopamine. If you like watching numbers go up while satisfying your inner goblin, then this is the game for you. The dev is also pretty active, dropping updates faster than I can salvage junk into dust. 10/10 Minimalist Incremental Game. Highly recommend. Please send help.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your kind words :)

### 1/5 — Deleted my save/progress

*2026-08-30*

Was asked by the game to sync my progress to the cloud. I did so, and EVERYTHING was wiped. I do not recommend this game.

### 1/5 — Lack of endgame

*2026-08-25*

Arena PvP being the only endgame is lame

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for your feedback! More endgame activities are already being worked on.

A huge patch focused on pets and pet collection is coming in roughly one week. Then, around the start of the next season, I’m planning to launch Dungeons — a challenging PvE mode built around experimenting with builds, theorycrafting, and finding the right items.

So definitely check back next month! :)

### 1/5 — Scummy developer

*2026-08-01*

Gating QoL features behind a  monthly subscription is not what good devs do.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! The subscription only includes optional quality-of-life features—everything competitive is fully playable for free. If you think something should be changed, come join our Discord! I’m there every day talking with players, and I’ve already updated the subscription based on community feedback. I’d love to hear your ideas.

### 2/5 — No quests, no saves, just loot.

*2026-08-10*

This game was insanely fun - until my saved classes would reset during the game. When they would reset, all of the loot I got would disappear, including legendary and mythic items that I had recently paid dust for. 
Then I got a “we’re sorry!” Pack. Sweet. Got some better loot from it, closed the game and re opened it, and it was all gone again. This time, all my “we’re sorry!” Stuff was gone too. I was on floor 505 and had gear from ~250-300ish. Hours of progress, gone. 

Not one to usually write reviews but it needs to be fixed. The want to play isn’t even there for fear of losing gear that I paid for.

**Developer response:** Really sorry about this — losing progress and gear like that is obviously not acceptable.

I had to make some important changes to the backend and saving system after launch, which caused issues like the one you experienced. Those changes are now complete and the issues have been resolved.

Version 1.0.7 is now available and saving is much more robust and safe. If you’re willing to give Just Loot another try, I’d really appreciate it! And if you run into anything at all, please reach out on Discord — I’m very active there and happy to help.

Thanks for playing and for reporting this!

### 2/5 — Glitching?

*2026-07-25*

Before this update I was able to play as long as I wanted but now I might get lucky and play a few rounds till it just freezes/glitches. I’m stuck in the battling mode or I can’t even get into the game, I’m just stuck and I’m just starring at a yellow screen. Once that’s fix it’ll be a 5 star for me since it really is a great game to kill time.

**Developer response:** Hey thanks for your Feedback! You are right this was a stupid bug in the current version - the freezes/glitches are already adressed and the yellow screen of doom will be fixed when new AppStore Version goes live, probably tomorrow!

### 2/5 — Has potential (I think)

*2026-07-05*

This game has potential (I think).  As the band suggests, you just loot and equip the item that upgrades your stats the most.  The problem is…. That’s all you do.  You have very little influence over games progression so you may make progression, or maybe you won’t depending on what items drop.

### 3/5 — Very minimalistic but in a good way

*2026-08-18*

I love the UI and the game itself is fun (haven’t played much) but a big criticism I have is the numbers during the fight. They are very laggy and hard to read so the fight feels less meaningful. If this gets fixed/updated it would increase the quality big time.

**Developer response:** Thank You very much! I will have a look specific at your device and see what I can improve 🙏

### 3/5 — Has Potential

*2026-08-16*

Love the game and in-game manuals. Has a weird design flaw though: when you earn equipment in dungeons, you get a handy comparison screen. But when you open loot in boxes you have to go through a lot of rigmarole to compare that new item to what you got (involves some memorization so you know where to go). Odd.

### 3/5 — This game steals your resources

*2026-08-13*

Every now and then i click on the craft menu and i notice the amount of dust i have is less than before which makes it impossible to save up for the ancient loot packs

**Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for reporting this. This was indeed a bug yesterday and has been fixed now. Please restart the game and your Dust should be correct again.

Sorry about that! If you ever notice something like this again, feel free to join our Discord and report it there — I’m very active and can often investigate and fix issues on the spot. 🙂 And I can then also easily help with restore of ressources!

### 3/5 — Good game no help

*2026-08-11*

The game has great potential and I really liked it but it was just really confusing, I found there was three characters that all had different dungeons or are they in the same one or what… confusing.

Tutorial/explanation needed

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Totally fair — the different loadouts and how they relate to your dungeon progress can definitely be clearer for new players. I’m already working on improving some of the onboarding and explanations so you don’t have to figure everything out yourself.

Glad you enjoyed the game otherwise, and thanks for giving it a try!

### 5/5 — Addictive and Amazing!

*2026-08-28*

This is such a fun and chill game! Lots of fun. Numbers go brttt! I also appreciate that unlike other games in this genre you can have it open for hours at a time and it barely drains your battery.

The developer is super responsive and amazingly helpful!

Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank You very much! :)

### 5/5 — Good game

Good to turn your brain off and just keep looting😍

**Developer response:** Thank you!! 🙏

### 5/5 — Very addictive

*2026-08-26*

Love the fact I can pick this up and get some quick fun. Appears to be able to be played offline, appreciate that rare feature in mobile games nowadays. I want to play my favorite games where ever I go.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! :)

### 5/5 — Amazing game

### 5/5 — Simple but addictive

*2026-08-25*

Such a simple looking game but so fun, addictive and in depth

**Developer response:** Thank you!! 🙏

### 5/5 — Great time

*2026-08-24*

Frequent updates and interesting concept. It’s quite nice to play without worrying too much. 

I wish there were more battle sounds.

**Developer response:** Hey! Thank You for your feedback :)

### 5/5 — Tolles RPG

*2026-08-24*

Meiner Meinung nach, braucht das Spiel mehr Beachtung. Einfach und simpel aber auch spannend gestaltet! Wer auf ein chilliges RPG steht, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. 👍⚓️

**Developer response:** Vielen lieben Dank 🙏

### 5/5 — Awesome, needs polish

*2026-08-21*

Some polish, content updates, and it’s golden. Simple, effective, knows what it is and does it well without complicating everything.

I’d like to see more build options and stats too. Better profile system with more options.

Awesome start!

**Developer response:** Hey thanks for your Feedback! 🙏 
Yes stay tuned - the roadmap is full :)

### 5/5 — Graphical chugging

*2026-08-20*

The graphics would be nice if they didn’t stutter so bad. I think I started to notice it around floor 20. 

I was trying out the auto-salvage feature and it would auto-salvage items that were upgrades.

**Developer response:** Hey! Thank You for your feedback :)
Have you turned on sound by any chance? I realized that on this version this leads to some stuttering on combat. I fixed this on 1.08 Version but this is still on review, but please try it out when it’s released!

### 5/5 — Awesome developer!

*2026-08-20*

So, I’ll preface this by saying, the game does have bugs and some issues. However, the dev is  always super fast at fixing them and is very transparent about ongoing issues with development. You report a bug? he pushes out a hotfix within the hour if he’s able to. It’s quite refreshing to see a mobile game with no forced ads or ads in any capacity AND zero pay to win elements. I genuinely wish nothing but the best for the dev and I think we should highly encourage games like this that aren’t just low effort cash grabs. Try it out!

**Developer response:** Thanks Traverse - with that nice community it’s a pleasure to keep going :)
