### 4/5 — Как адекватно заработать алмазы?

*2026-07-27*

Не работает просмотр рекламы за награду

### 4/5 — Great game overall!

*2026-06-27, version 2.21.3*

There is a ton of depth to this game, with plenty of replay ability with different classes. There are some bugs unfortunately, and the one that is currently very annoying is where ads don’t count for rewards, and sometimes you have to watch them several times for a single reward. For example, it takes the ads to get the three rewards the game offers you each day. Today, I watched a total of 14 ads instead of 3. Very frustrating, but not enough to deny that the game is generally pretty great, albeit a bit grindy. Give it a try!

### 3/5 — Recent update ups Ads

*2026-05-10, version 2.21.3*

Was a 5-star rating for this game, really fun and well designed, funny, and great hat tip to classic D&D + turn based RPGs…. But the recent update has slammed its Ad war hammer down on players… there was always ads to watch to get perks and fun stuff (they were fine and not too invasive) but now they are way more intrusive and aggressive and even when you watch them they don’t work and half the time you need to re watch for it to work

### 4/5 — Legal mas tem muitos anúncios

*2026-04-21*

Poderia ter um pouco menos de anúncio ou então opção de comprar algo para não ver anúncios

### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-03-30, version 2.21.2*

The game gets really annoying after all the ads
Like most mobile games except this one has a lot more

### 2/5 — Paid for items, didn’t get it

*2026-03-16*

I purchased a bundle of gems and it didn’t go through

### 3/5 — Great Charm, Cheap Tactics

*2026-03-07, version 2.21.2*

I loved the original game, and while this evolves the graphics and gameplay, the monetization is just GROSS. Microtransactions drape over every element of gameplay.

### 4/5 — A fun game with monetization issues

*2026-02-26, version 2.21.2*

I remember playing the older version of this, and really enjoying it. The framing of a table top game is fun, and the jokes are funny. The gameplay is good and scratches the RPG itch.
The problem comes in with the monetization. They push packs of gold, have a low gold drop rate, and have high costs for basic items. An example: a battle with 5 enemies (listed as hard) drops around 100 gold. A starting weapon costs 800 gold. Or you can shell out cash to buy gold. It just makes me sad. Will still play, but may not get too far

### 1/5 — Донатная помойка

*2026-01-15*

Игра превратилась в донатную помойку, причем механики не как ни переделали, просто усложнили игру (хочешь играть - плати) и ладно бы адекватный ценник повесили (банка опыта примерно по +1 уровень команде +20% получения опыта, внимание, на 30 минут стоит 2650р) это неадекватно, от слова совсем

### 1/5 — Where’s the aggro?

*2026-01-05, version 2.21.2*

So I have a 80+% of getting hit as a tank, nope hit the low hp character with a 10% chance of getting hit. Okay…. Not once but back to back and last one is a crit!!!! Awesome mechanic

### 1/5 — Fix your ads

*2026-08-01, version 2.21.3*

I love the game and play it often idly, you VERY often won’t give the ad reward if it’s not a double ad, I’ll fix this when that is fixed. Very irritating to get screwed over mid rewards. Making me watch 5+ ads to get it to pop makes me hate this game and it ain’t even supposed to matter. That’s supposed to pass so quick I don’t even notice and yet I’m farming ads for your in game currency

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-07-22, version 2.21.3*

Completely different team with absolutely no link to the first game except publisher. Greedy mtx-ridden cash grab. Tried to play it just to give it a chance, but it is horrible (especially if you’re coming in comparing it to KOPAP1)

### 1/5 — Just give me a premium version I pay for without all the micro transactions

*2026-07-16, version 2.21.3*

The game is good but the exploitative pay to play and in app adverts are unbearable. If they released a payed version with no ads and no micro transactions I’d buy in a heartbeat

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2026-07-09, version 2.21.3*

Used to own the full version of this and the first game. The one without a cash shop. Seriously I hate it here.

### 1/5 — Ad systems out of control

*2026-06-08, version 2.21.3*

Dude fix it

### 1/5 — App unplayable offline

*2026-05-14, version 2.21.3*

Uhh, I get phone games for when I’m traveling and have limited or no internet access. Discovering this game is unplayable unless my internet is active has basically made this useless

### 1/5 — Crafting recipes

*2026-05-12, version 2.21.3*

There is a major bug the prevents the recipes you find from investigating areas from showing up in the crafting menu making the them impossible to know.

### 1/5 — Crapware

*2026-05-09, version 2.21.3*

Just another example of a good game, a good piece of software that was acquired and overly monetized. If you want forced updates, constant nudging for you to purchase in app purchases and an overall worse experience then this game is for you.

### 1/5 — Why is this pay to play?

*2026-03-15, version 2.21.2*

When paradox owned this, you played once and had to grind the game normally no p2w or p2p. No micro transactions, but hey anything to squeeze another cent out of consumers right?

### 1/5 — Knights of Pen & Paper 2

*2026-02-03, version 2.21.2*

Disappointing I was enjoying it until well forced ads no thanks! I wanted to pay to remove them but the only offer it directed me to was over 20 quid! I wouldn’t recommend this game! I prefer the third one!

### 5/5 — Actually a fun game

*2026-08-20, version 2.21.3*

I have a lot of free time at work so I like to fill it with phone games. This is by far one of the best I’ve played so far. It’s got chance elements, level progression, diversity and humor. Having a lot of fun with it.

### 5/5 — DnD

*2026-08-16, version 2.21.3*

Primal dnd at its finest

### 5/5 — simple fun

*2026-08-15, version 2.21.3*

exactly what i wanted. some light, classic rpg. i’m at level five and haven’t hit a paywall yet. looks like you can pay off your want to have more spending money faster but you don’t have to in order to keep playing. but the game is wallet paying the makers a few good dollars for this game. good job!

### 5/5 — Obra de arte

*2026-07-28*

Cinco estrelas, combate fluido e falas engraçadas. 10/10 jogo sempre⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — A lot of fun

*2026-07-09, version 2.21.3*

The power balance is a bit weird with the ads but never too obtrusive

### 5/5 — Epic

*2026-06-20, version 2.21.3*

So epic

### 5/5 — One of the top best

*2026-04-03, version 2.21.2*

If you love DnD like me this is the gsme!!!

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2026-03-27*

I’ve played for maybe an hour? Absolutely loving it so far :) lots of funny references and gameplay feels deep enough to enjoy but easy to understand

### 5/5 — What a surprise

*2026-02-20*

The game is actually really good, if you grind a few hours for diamonds while farming monsters you won’t need to buy anything with real money. 9/10 for the dnd vibes

### 5/5 — Vale a pena

*2026-01-13*

Jogo bem divertido, vale a pena testar
