Lack of heroes and the summon rate is trash, lack of content, lack of resource to progress, everything just meh :/ and the art work make the game feel so boring and sad ### 4/5 — I like it and am playing it but *2024-03-24* I like this game, I love the art, and I’ve tried a lot of gacha games recently and am going to play this one for a while. But there are two things to know: ✨ 1) This game has a lot of in app purchase options. Packs, resources you can buy, time limited packs and offers, battle pass type of things, costumes, and even heroes themselves you can just flat out buy. A lot of it is expensive, and it’s never ending. So if you have a hard time with that, be forewarned. (This also means that a free player is not going to be on leaderboards) ✨ This also means that if you wan to collect the few free resources daily you have to do a LOT of tapping and opening all of the many, many menus and submenus of all the paid stuff to try to find the free resources. It’s annoying — it takes a long time and it’s not fun game playing time, and you have to see those money options in your face while doing it. And sometimes there a notification dot that looks like you can do something but you open it and it’s just an opportunity to spend money 😭 ✨2) I used apple login to the game like I have done with a lot of other games before. This game is telling me, every single time I log in, that the apple login might not work in the future, and so I should “upgrade” my login by creating an account with the game. ### 2/5 — Multi-Server/VIP/Afk *2024-02-13* n the early 2010s, multiplayer games across multiple servers were all the rage. However, players soon found themselves facing the drawbacks of such a setup, including deserted servers and events lacking participants, leading to frequent server switches to get a "fresh start" with the knowledge of what to do and what to avoid. If that's not a deal-breaker for you, feel free to dive in. Regarding VIP systems, they operate on a pay-for-perks basis, rewarding players based on their spending. However, these perks are locked to the server where the spending occurs, which can feel limiting, especially considering the multi-server environment. It's essentially a costly endeavor for a solitary gaming experience, particularly if you're spending significant amounts monthly. The game leans heavily on the "set it and forget it" approach, with minimal interactive gameplay. It nudges players towards minor spending, promising ongoing progress with little active involvement. Yet, any direct engagement has a negligible impact on gameplay, reducing it to basic strategy adjustments. Despite its visually appealing design, which contributes to its initial positive reception, the game's appeal is likely to wane after a few months. Its success is somewhat attributed to significant marketing expenditures rather than gameplay merit. Personally, I recommend exploring more mainstream games that offer a sense of ownership and enduring engagement. ### 2/5 — Mobile legends adventure *2024-02-09* It is a copy including the skills but has better art. I stopped playing it because you will hit a brick wall. ### 4/5 — Afk arena with better art *2024-02-03* Pretty much exactly like afk arena but the art and animations are way better/smoother. Just as much Pay2win packages as afk arena but it’s a nice game if you’re not too fussed about rankings and all ### 1/5 — I can’t even open the game *2024-01-25* If I can’t open the game then is it even a game? Can anyone even open this game? I thought I’d give it a go but after a day of it being on my phone I cannot play the game because it won’t open. I hope this is fixed soon ### 2/5 — Cash-grab game *2024-01-25* The game has done poorly in China and many are stating that the game expanded globally in a cash-grab attempt. I’ll admit that the artwork is decent but the game itself is loaded with over priced packages, incomplete descriptions, and I encountered one instance of false advertisement. The biggest issue I had was when the customer support tried to justify the false advertisement by insisting the outcome was correct regardless of the description and expectations implied by the supporting images. There is a separate VIP section titled “SVIP”, where access is gained by having completed a total transaction value of… A LOT of money, I believe something near $1000. The Pay-to-win nature of the game is extremely exaggerated and provides rewards that you sadly discover are not nearly worth the value. After starting a fresh server on release day there was a lot of activity. This died off shortly after the first week expired. I am extremely disappointed in the outcome. If your idea of fun is spending money on essentially nothing, then this game is for you. Otherwise, I suggest steering clear and finding a game that less buggy, better developed, and more reasonable. ### 1/5 — Horrid gameplay and big money grab *2024-01-24* I tried this game out, and even spent some money. This is the biggest money-grab IDLE game I have ever seen, maybe even worse than Ulala. Trying to go through campaign alone is just ridiculous. The AI teams are 6 to 7 figures higher than yours in combat power. It never gives you a chance to actually compare and catch. The SSS heroes are $$$ only, there is no possible way to get them as a free player so you will always be at a disadvantage. It’s really sad how greedy and selfish these developers are. ### 2/5 — Needs fixing *2024-01-23* Can’t even go into the game ### 3/5 — Misleading *2024-01-20* You don’t get 1000 draws to keep and I wish they were honest about that, but of course they need to draw you in. Also just another game filled with hundreds of micro transactions on seemingly every other screen/menu. Graphics and artwork is cool but I personally don’t prefer to play games like this. ### 2/5 — Blatant copy *2024-01-17* After deciding to play the game from seeing an ad about it on tik tok every other video which is annoying in its own matter but promotion so makes sense. I realized that the characters were awfully similar but couldn’t pin point it till I got my 5th epic hero. Every hero is just a rehash of afk arena heroes which is dumbfounding. Why copy? Are we not creative enough to make our own characters? I could of came up with 10 original characters just making this review. Aside from that major issue and lawsuit it’s an afk idle game that feels very action packed compared to some other idle games so decide off that. ### 4/5 — Language problem *2024-01-17* I don't know where to set it in Chinese. ### 2/5 — Pay to play *2024-01-16* Like most gacha games, you’re able to play for free, but eventually hit a sheer drop off in progress unless you spend money. For this game, you can get about a week until you hit a hard wall where you either pay money to move forward or it takes weeks to make very little progress with basic things. As far as gacha games go, this one does look great, but I’d say the pay wall you slam into is much stunting than other gacha games. If you don’t mind paying (a lot of money) then it’s probably a fine enough gacha game. If you are looking for free to play, you’ll get bored after the first week as you won’t be able to do much and simple tasks and basic upgrades will take weeks. You’ll just be logging in day after day to collect the different currencies from daily rewards, do a couple mini game like things and then can’t progress as these rewards are maybe a tenth of what is needed to progress through the main game and it will be a very short progress. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cannot even get in *2024-10-15* Always stuck at login screen and cannot get into the game all of a sudden, tried several ways but still don’t work, fix your game. ### 1/5 — Game is down more than it is up *2024-06-06* I started off liking this game, but it goes down for days at a time every 2-3 days. Seriously, the game is down more than it is up. Every maintenance should not take 3-4 days. It is ridiculous. I’m going to uninstall because there is no point in even playing. Definitely not a game I would consider spending any money on. ### 1/5 — Avoid. *2024-03-19* Nothing about this game is unique. It’s just another afk gacha game that steals ideas from other afk gacha games (which those games themselves are also all stealing ideas from other games, it’s an awful genre for creativity) and slams pop ups in your face anytime you do anything. Beat a stage? Here’s a pop up for a “sale” on some items! Only a measly…$30. Oh? You opened the game? Quick Look at this AMAZING deal for some….more items? Oh? It’s $100? Oh but the it’s 3 items and enough gems to do….oh, a couple ten rolls? Ok….awesome. These games literally just exist to take your money. This game is no different. Do not download this game. Do not listen to the 5 star glowing reviews. There is no way they are written by actual people. ### 1/5 — Only one language *2024-02-23* If you have only 1 language, why you show 4 languages in the description? ### 1/5 — Spending simulator *2024-02-22* Stay away from this game, they only care about your money. It’s a low effort spending simulator with no content ### 1/5 — Has Potential *2024-02-21* I’ve seen a game so selfish and money hungry. I thought Ulala was bad, but this game takes the cake. They literally input combat power caps on the trial tower, and campaign levels to try and force you to spend more money or else you cannot progress. The second guard in soul bound is so incredibly overpowered that unless you spend four figures on the game, you cannot beat it. They flood you with ways to spend a ton of money, but barely give the players a reason to keep playing. Celestial Tower to further upgrade high tier heroes isn’t unlocked until day 43 LOL, but if you spend I think $400 - $500 dollars, you can unlock it on day 8. It’s just ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Wanna play just to lose all of your experience? *2024-02-17* Started playing yesterday played for atleast 2-3hrs love it went to play it this afternoon and it wanted me to restart?? After I went and made the game email bc Apple ID login was glitchy? Yeah no. Waste of time. Along with it baby’s you like the game is your mother like go here do this even after you’ve already been there it’s super annoying but the art style and game mechanics made me really like it and stay for those few hours. I am deleting the game right after this review. To those who didnt have this problem that’s nice have fun! For any new people don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — 说好的中文？ *2024-02-06* 只有英文还说有中文，骗我流量 ### 1/5 — Buggy cash grab *2024-02-03* The gameplay is fun, but it’s obviously a cash grab. They don’t know how to code properly and made the guild challenge bosses either way too easy or way too hard. They trick you into using premium currency to lower the difficulty but it does absolutely nothing. This is simply ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Game doesn’t even open. *2024-01-30* Don’t bother, it’s spyware. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loving it! *2024-08-05* I cycle thru hundreds of gacha games to find what I love, and this one is my main favourite! The art is high quality, the menus and layout is clean and concise, and there’s always content with room for improvement. You can spend 10 min a day, or 10 hours a day! I’ve truly enjoyed playing this, and plan to continue for the long haul. I am not sponsored nor obligated to write this, I am sincerely just a happy free-to-play player. ### 5/5 — Where my 1000 free draws at man *2024-02-14* I literally only thought about getting this game for this reason it’s still good tho ### 5/5 — Basically reskinned summoners war *2024-01-24* Basically reskinned summoners war with better graphics ### 5/5 — Graphics are unique, game is addicting *2024-01-22* It takes a lot for me to keep a game on my phone. If I hit too much of a wall, I usually just delete it and start a new game, but this one caught my attention. Graphically, I love it. The graphics remind me of an old DS game or something with a mix of Ragnarok online in there. I haven’t spent anything and feel like I have made a lot of progress. While I might support the game in the future I don’t feel pushed too at all. ### 5/5 — Interesting *2024-01-21* Same but different ### 5/5 — AWESOME GAME *2024-01-17* Loving the graphics reminds me of bravely default. The gameplay is like a VERY upgraded afk arena! Will say great job on the game definitely everyone should at least try it! ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-01-16* Fun but voice acting is not in English ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2024-01-15* I saw an ad for this game on tiktok and I thought it would be like one of those games I would play for a little bit and quit later on.. but this game is AWESOME. It’s a beautiful game with cute characters and it’s probably the most generous game ever. They weren’t lying about being able to progress through the game correctly too! I usually never site reviews but this game deserves 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Very fun game *2024-01-12* This game isn’t stingy and gives you lots of free resources. ### 5/5 — As addictive as it is beautiful! *2024-01-12* I was skeptical when downloading this game, and even after playing over 300 different titles, not many have moved me to write a review. Trust me when I say this game is different. The art style is absolutely gorgeous and the game runs flawlessly. The characters are beautifully designed and animated but the gameplay is what really got me. There are dozens of different things to do with different game styles and modes throughout. It DOES NOT have the repetition and boredom of most idle/AFK games and the collection/draw rate is superb WITHOUT NEEDING TO SPEND A DIME. This game MAKES YOU WANT TO SPEND A FEW BUCKS and the rewards are actually worth if IF you do; HOWEVER IT IS NOT PAY TO PLAY. The rewards just for playing the game are fantastic and you’re not felt in this after-rush purgatory after a few hours of gameplay. It is definitely worth your time! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
