### 5/5 — Been returning to this for like a decade and still fire

*2026-08-06, version 2.1.8*

Goated

### 5/5 — Every round got ad

*2026-06-09, version 2.1.8*

Annoy

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-05-11*

Such an amazing game but the watch ads to revive thing is a stain on gaming, so it would be a lot better without.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2026-03-22, version 2.1.8*

No se pueden recolectar las monedas si no ves los anuncios. Hay anuncios en cada partida. No se puede guardar el récord. Hace unos años no tenía estos problemas. Una pena👎

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2026-02-19, version 2.1.8*

Pause feature doesn’t work sometimes and enemies still fall even when the game is paused and with the revive feature the game starts back before i can get back to the game and i still lose

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-12-19, version 2.1.8*

Love this game been playing it for years

### 4/5 — game chơi vui

*2025-11-30, version 2.1.8*

game vui nhưng mà hơi khó

### 5/5 — i love this game

*2025-11-24, version 2.1.8*

i love wizards and it’s so fun. but i only have one question, is there a way to sign up with email so i don’t lose my data, i don’t know if there is idk if there’s game centre but game centre always lags and never saves the data.

### 3/5 — Bonuses with advertisements do not work.

*2025-10-27, version 2.1.8*

When they say, "Do you want to continue? Watch the advert!" Then you watch yet another awful advert, and meanwhile the game continues automatically and you lose anyway.

### 1/5 — Greedy Mechanics - Poor Rewardability

*2025-10-06*

Don’t bother going all the way saving 30k to get the last spell because it takes like 0,5 seconds before it wears off. Furthermore, maintenance is definitely abandoned (on purpose or not) since the 3-year old immortality bug that forces players to see more ads still hasn’t been fixed. There’s also another bug in the fairy potions, which don’t resurrect you as they’re meant to
