I haven’t played in a few years so I thought I’d give it a try. Looks like they haven’t fixed it. Dissapointed. ### 4/5 — Great *2026-01-09, version 4.23* Wish they would put more effort back into this game would love to see them come back so i could update to 5 stars only good collectors games ### 3/5 — Money Focused, Guild Centric, Simple Designs, really Objectifying Art *2025-05-27, version 4.23* If you want something that not just auto tuned, super fast, or modern id get this. I used to have an og account years ago when i was in high school. It was alot different but i like the simplicity. The art doenst look AI but abhorrently objectifying like so many others out there. U like pretty ladies and dragons? Have fun. ### 3/5 — Run by AI *2025-03-27, version 4.23* This game cycles the same events every month and using the same art over and over, just beefing up the stats. LOC was amazing when it launched in 2012 and had a huge fan base. Now I believe the owners of the app are just waiting for it to run to the ground and on Autopilot using AI. ### 4/5 — Sound toggling *2025-03-14, version 4.23* Enjoy the game, would love it if there was an option to turn the game music off or down. Thanks! ### 1/5 — STAY AWAY, CASH GRAB ONLY! *2023-05-09, version 4.23* This game doesn’t allow free players the opportunities that they allow paid players. The game is Biased and will only support the top players or spenders in the game. Every event benefits the same players who always play on multiple devices. Crew Clash was changed to only allow the top 80 players the chance at winning and not the crews themselves who helped those players get there. Raid events, the same ten teams are the top ten teams every time. The battle Royal events, are the same way. The start times for some events are terrible for non-USA players. Hopefully you don’t have any issues with getting Gems, because they will not help and you will have to deal with the App Store for any corrections. New players are required to wait 3 weeks before you can trade or do anything in the game. Players Beware! ### 1/5 — Broken *2022-11-04, version 4.23* This is a real shame waiting five minutes for this game to load just to get to another spot and plus if it doesn’t work it tells me server is busy so I need to update this game and make it faster and more efficient because this game is actually good game ### 1/5 — Compensation *2022-11-04, version 4.23* Uncompromising support; whether you made a mistake in purchases or other errors, they won’t help you nor compensate you or refund you your gems or items in question. They maybe help you if it was a technical glitch. Now they gut this Delete Button in the present list that can delete all your “virtual cards” you accumulate and they won’t reverse if you mistakenly press it. ### 1/5 — I don’t want to hate this game I used to love it *2022-10-31, version 4.23* I physically cannot open the game without it crashing, cannot get past the first screen. I had some great items/cards and wanted to come back. There is no support that isn’t in Chinese. I wish it weren’t this way but it is and I’m vastly dissapointed. ### 1/5 — Dang *2022-10-10, version 4.22* This game still Alive. They need to redo the whole thing man. Ever since the hackers. Hacked the leaderboard. Haven gone back almost 5-6 years now lol ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-10-07, version 4.22* Just spins and doesn’t get off loading screen ### 3/5 — Too expensive *2022-08-20, version 4.22* I love this game, don’t get me wrong, the events are fun the over all system is great, fantastic art, but it’s too expensive, Gems cost an arm and a legs, there is very little in the way of free gems, and almost no way to earn gems, and even when you have the gems, the card draw system cost too many gems for too small of a chance to even gain the best possible prize, it’s an unfair system that takes advantage of players needs to get better cards to continue to do well and enjoy the game, and the trade system needs to be better regulated, even that’s too expensive for most players, especially new players ### 1/5 — Trash *2022-06-29, version 4.22* Admins will not respond to anything. So any problems or issues you have will not be resolved ### 1/5 — Don’t bother playing in Europe *2022-05-21, version 4.22* Great game that I used to love and actually spend money on back in the day. Lovely artwork and a simple yet addictive premise. Not anymore… Events are geared towards Japan and US players with some completely unplayable unless you want to be awake at 3am during the week. Developers don’t listen and whilst there is a forum thread they never respond, nor seem to take advice. To top it all off their big 10th anniversary ticket giveaway was a waste of time. Months collecting tickets to play the mid level casino and my one spin got me a single item for one of those events I can’t play. Great return for months collecting and having played the game forever! If you like a grind and live in the right time zone then give it a go. Don’t bother if you want to play free or in Europe. Such a shame to see this game die. ### 1/5 — App does not work on IOS 15.4 *2022-03-30, version 4.20* I updated my phone and now app doesn’t load… ### 1/5 — Bug *2022-03-29, version 4.20* Game freezing on iPhone X whenever you buy card packs ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-03-26, version 4.20* Terrible game crashes all the time and I can’t even get pass title page better to remove game completely and support page in some weird language I will not be playing this game anymore because I’m now concerned it might bug my device or cause a security problem Don’t waste your time or money on this I had played this game years ago and it was okay now 0/100 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cheating *2026-07-09, version 4.23* There is a player known as Albin that has multiple accounts on the game…one of which is ILucifer666I that is used to generate impossibly high scores the game to get the top rewards which he then sells to players on the black market to profit…the developers have done nothing to solve this issue among others…don’t waste your time or money on this game! ### 1/5 — ***Not Recommanded*** *2026-05-07, version 4.23* DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME‼️ This game used to be really fun with original events and great art from artists. Unfortunately, now it's just a money trap where card art is poor (done by AI), always the same events over and over again and cards costing hundreds of dollars to aquire. It is simply a pay to play game, not worth your time and even less your money. On top of all this, the game has lots of lagging issues and major technical issues for every event: Black screen, frozen screen, asking to constantly restart the apps. When contacting the Admin Support Team for any issue arising, they tell players to stop writing to them, they reserved the rights to refuse service and suggesting players to stop playing the game. This apps is a dying game, costing hundreds of dollars to play, so I do not recommand it. Big waste of time and money with an Admin Support Team only seeing this game as a cash cow with absolutely no caring for the quality of the apps. ### 1/5 — Account Recovery *2026-01-16, version 4.23* For a game that demands players spend a significant amount of money, the account recovery process is unacceptable. Supported requested some information proving ownership. Which I submitted. Despite this, they refused to help and ultimately stopped responding altogether. If you create your transfer password and lose it, your account is effectively gone with no real recovery options. This level of support is unacceptable for an app that requires you to make purchases. ### 1/5 — Thieves *2025-09-07, version 4.23* Spent money on an account years ago, trying to play again but they won’t give me my account back. I’ve even provided proof. Don’t even bother starting this game or you’ll get sucked into their greed. ### 1/5 — AI glitch game *2025-08-13, version 4.23* Art is AI generated now, hackers and illegal real world traders run the game. Avoid it. ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2025-02-01, version 4.23* Sad to say, but stay away now. Back when it was owned by the original developers, this game was great! It was my favorite! Ever since they sold it the game has gone down and down. For one thing, they kept adding cards with higher and higher stats that the old excellent cards could not touch, and even if you spent a ton of money you would still not get the good cards. Customer service is terrible, and doesn’t back up progress anywhere except internally. I think they just keep it running so they can milk the few remaining dedicated players, and fool new players into spending a ton of money in hopes of getting the valuable cards, which will never happen. So sad. ### 1/5 — Poor Customer service *2025-01-28, version 4.23* Lovely art, but awful customer service -and a lot of glitches with game. ### 1/5 — Abysmal *2024-11-14, version 4.23* I remember playing this in the early days and being hooked instantly. But as time progressed it became more and more apparent that this was pay to win. Based on newer feedback it’s safe to say it’s gotten worse. It could have been something great but the devs let their greed get the best of them. ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2023-11-18, version 4.23* This game is more wacked out than it was 6 years ago I missed this bloody thing Bering back monster mastro was way better ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2023-07-22* Sadly, this is complete and utter garbage. It‘s just a very low quality “game“ (it‘s barely a game at all to be honest). It basically feels like the entire budget for this game was put into creating a gacha-shop and generating some art for the units. It seems they never thought of actually implementing engaging gameplay or even just comfortable menus. However, I must admit that I didn‘t actually “play“ the game cause I very quickly lost all motivation to give this app a shot. I was hoping this could fill the void left by Devil Maker: Tokyo or Hellfire: The Summoning (cause of its focus on aesthetic units) but it‘s not even close to comparable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best TCG since RoB! *2026-06-21, version 4.23* As a returning player, I know the drill well and must say the game has evolved a lot! Remember this is an adult game so if you want to compete at the top level, you will need to spend a little! Can be free-played casually though if you just enjoy the great art & socialising with the awesome community, trading rare cards. This is a HC TCG so if grinding isn’t your thing then, this is probably not for you. If you like tough competition & collecting billions of points to rank high in events to reap top rewards, either solo or with your guild; give this a bosh! ### 5/5 — Booba *2023-12-31, version 4.23* Well, as a kid I loved this game and as an adult with income and a gambling addiction I love this game. ### 5/5 — iOS 15.4 *2022-03-30, version 4.20* When are you going to make it work for iOS 15.4? It’s been a long waiting time already 😢 ### 5/5 — Add me as a friend! user:Westtxthor94 *2022-03-13, version 4.20* Im looking for other powerful Players to be friends that are active i want to Trade and help eachother my Username is: Westtxthor94 ### 5/5 — Needs to be updated more often! *2022-03-03, version 4.20* I’ve been with this game since beta, almost 8 yrs or so, and it’s been interesting. Mainly my only gripe nowadays is that I haven’t even been able to log on for almost two months now because the don’t keep up with the updates! I’m on the most recent IOS and sadly LotC just hasn’t been updated to work on the latest IOS yet. So get on it LoC!! ### 5/5 — Legend of the cryptically *2021-05-30, version 4.18* Been playing since the start! Here it is 9yrs later game still going strong- The game play is simple And get in a good guild- Get line app- For communication-with guild- And trade rooms- It’s better than most people are even saying- If you love art! The collecting is awesome! The battles are easy fairly- Takes time to grow! You’re not gunna be strong off the bat- But with time!
