### 1/5 — Money stolen

*2026-03-30, version 1.4.210*

I’ve been buying on game for almost two years and now everything was simply lost and there is no contact for support whatsoever, very annoying. Have tried many times to login with google and there’re no restore of purchases, I’ve spent quite a lot a very regrettable that this is not a serious provider. Play it but don’t buy anything unless you want to throw away your money

### 3/5 — Unable to open game

*2026-03-19, version 1.4.090*

I really enjoyed the game but after the recent update I can’t open the game. I have tried all basic troubleshooting but still can’t open it.

### 3/5 — Update needed

*2026-03-15*

I really like this game but i am unsure of the updates. There are bug fixes. Currently when I open the app it is telling me to update. Then i go to the App Store an and the app says”open” no update. It has been like that, back and forth alll the time. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Update issue

*2026-03-13, version 1.4.090*

Every time i open the app, it says UPDATE and there none!!!!

### 2/5 — Version mismatch error

*2026-03-12*

I played Kurukshetra: Ascension a long time ago and really enjoyed the game. The gameplay, characters, and overall concept are very good, and I was excited to start playing again after a long break.

However, after reinstalling the game on my iPhone, I keep getting a "Version Mismatched" error when launching the game. The message asks me to update the app, but the app is already updated to the latest version on the App Store. I even tried deleting the game and reinstalling it, but the same error still appears.

This is very disappointing because I was looking forward to playing again, but currently the game is not usable. Please fix this issue as soon as possible so returning players can enjoy the game again.

Great game, but the technical problem makes it impossible to play right now.

### 3/5 — Update

*2026-03-11, version 1.4.090*

The game is nice. But recent bug is that it asked me to update the app but in AppStore there is no update. So I can’t play

### 3/5 — Unable to start the game

*2026-03-10, version 1.4.090*

Since yesterday I am trying to play this game but when I open the app it shows and update button, when i click that button it redirect me to app store and I don’t see any update button there just open button

### 2/5 — Glitch in the latest update in story mode

*2026-02-14, version 1.4.090*

I had recently updated the game and my characters in this game like bheem, bhishma and vali are above prithvi level but i am not able to play further as i am getting stuck at the loading screen of the story modebut my other character arjun who is in the beginning part that is patal is running smoothly for playing. Its a major glitch and i had bought the full story pack and I don’t wish to see this type of glitch from a quality game like this one.

### 4/5 — Unbalanced yet fun

*2026-02-09*

Some cards are just too powerful for the soma cost, Hero weapon cards needs to be either abundant or de buffed. At some point game mechanics makes it impossible to win against people purchasing packs. As a developer you can introduce other ways to generate a steady revenue by rewarding single cards for Ad streams but focus on balancing the game or you will continue facing players churn out.  

Game is fun when you start playing. Characters Lore are genuine and matches epics reference. 

I always encounter a server drop out when playing on mobile data, game just freezes and there is no way to reenter the ongoing game after restarting the game, it connects with server but your ongoing game gets forfeited. If developers can introduce rejoining the game within 30-40 seconds it will make it more enjoyable.
