### 4/5 — Great game, no additions

*2025-07-21, version 1.051*

I've been playing this fantastic game for years, but sadly it is the same as it was when it came out. Need new biomes and monsters.

### 4/5 — Really good

*2022-06-12, version 1.051*

Great game, a bit slow to progress

### 3/5 — Getting the hang of things

*2022-03-13, version 1.051*

Over all the concept is solid the art style is decent I do like the build and play concept. My gripes are only with the acquisition of new skills and armor and building materials with card packs, and the movement with tap/clicks when you have a dodge that would do better with a direction input and a button (then again that would invite the dark souls comparisons). Over all enjoyable just some touch ups and it could be quite an impressive game with a decent community

### 3/5 — Offline mode please

*2022-02-17, version 1.051*

This needs an offline build/test mode please.

### 4/5 — Excellent game indeed

*2022-01-23, version 1.051*

I love this game reminds me of so many other ones I used to play hero building item collecting I like these types but I do agree with a lot of the comments here it is hard to get started in getting equipment and shards although once you start publishing shards it starts getting easier I’m not sure any quicker way to get orbs But I’m sure in time I will find one

### 5/5 — After searching. For a while this game

*2021-10-24, version 1.051*

I rather enjoy. The game I like the concept.  Of building maps n campaigns.   I wanna lvl….system for hero’s

### 5/5 — Devs plz revive!

*2021-09-10, version 1.051*

For new players: its not a bad game at all. Slightly grindy but fair enough, very unique ideas that were implimented oddly well in most ways. Definately worth a shot!

I seen an announcement in the discord for this game about how for now servers are staying live but they cant afford to keep up with updates and such. I looked at your other games and i really think your not seeing the potential here and wasting time in weaker possibilities. Let me explain. 

Ive played well over 100 ios games, everything from arpgs, roguelikes, twin sticks, tons of rpgs, pvp based games, dungeon crawlers galore, and ive gotten iap games and full upfront cost games- litterally pretty well versed in what is out there and offered. I spend alot of time on websites, reddit, and discord searching for new games to try. And this game? Not without some flaws but probably the coolest IDEA ive come across yet. And out of all these games ive left maybe 5 reviews so that is how badly i hope you devs revive this game. Some small changes and a little extra content and proper advertising could really help get this to catch on. 

Recomendations on if you decide to revive:
-remove the 30 orb cap, but increase the cost of packs giving some variety here. So u can still have the ones for 1k, but better odds at rarer stuff for 2k and so on up to whatever you wished. The cap at 30, and hitting it early on, is disappointing. Its not terrible, this is not a complaint about the grind, but seeing and reaching such a small number fast it just doesnt feel right. Since its just 1k per pack no matter what, 30 is fair. But it doesnt feel right and there arent many options. Increasing that amount makes some runs more exciting, and to balance the influx of player’s getting orbs you lower drop rate for good cards and make new packs with increased rates but higher costs. Or keep rates the same and increase amount.
-heros BASICALLY level up independantly. And while 400 is the max skill points any hero can have, since skill points are independant to a hero why not just give us a level number and more obvious experience bar and such? Normalize those elements. 
-advertise. Im aware this isnt free, but there ARE free ways to do so. Go on discord and ask everyone to copy paste an ad, share a video, ect ect to their fb feeds. Do tons of different things like this and u never know. Id most certainly be willing to help. (If u contact me do so via discord, name Systematic, cuz i never see or get replies when there is feedback to these in here) 
-add non-player-made content. Give us some raids maybe. Something we can do on repeat but maybe have cooldowns to how often, or something. 

I got more ideas but no one will probably read all this anyways so ill stop here 😅 hit me up in your own discord- name systematic- if you want any more ideas or anything. Id totally spend some money on this game too, but since yall said your done with it, ill wait for if there is ever a revive.

### 5/5 — SHOULD NOT BE FREE

*2021-08-26*

Omg you made it free the game should be at least 5 dollars it’s fun🙂🙂

### 4/5 — Verbesserungsvorschlag

*2021-08-15, version 1.051*

Tolles spiel aber es fehlt etwas meiner Meinung nach wichtiges und zwar etwas hat man keinen Anreiz den dungeon schwer zu machen, es müsste etwas im dungeon geben wie die truhen die wenn es der „angreifer“ findet und öffnet es dem ersteller der karte schadet so würden die dungeons automatisch eine ganz neue Herausforderung und der eigene run in anderen dungeons auch mehr Spaß machen da man eine Herausforderung hat! Hoffe irgend etwas in diese Richtung kommt noch- geil wäre auch teamlevel oder pvp! 
Lg an alle

### 4/5 — Good game

*2021-08-14, version 1.051*

I love the game but can you make to were you can change the gender of all the characters

### 4/5 — Great Game - Still room for improvement

*2021-04-23, version 1.051*

Why is there no option to block players who harass your shards?

### 5/5 — 讚！

*2021-04-10, version 1.051*

超愛這遊戲！設計功能沒有很複雜，可惜玩家數量不多QQ

### 5/5 — Great game , parents and devs please read.

*2021-04-04*

I am 11 (at the time of me writing this) so you decide whether you trust my opinion. I am just saying what I think and know. I will be covering players and future players, then improvement I feel should happen. First of all, this game is still pretty new. So if you feel like there isn't enough in the game, I assure you, there will be future major updates. Second, if you think think this is pay to win, you are wrong. I have not spent a penny and am quite far along. It’s your decision whether you want to buy or not, it’s your money. They aren’t pressing you to buy anything, there is no ads (yay!) The only downside I can find is that progress is slow if you don’t spend money. Remember I said slow, not impossible. There is no “premium” thing to buy, you can get everything in the game without spending money. The devs are super nice too. Overall great game, I recommend. Devs, the only thing I have to say to you is keep up the great work! Only improvement I can recommend is just more gear and monsters and stuff. Thank you for reading if you made it this far! :)

**Developer response:** Hi Carnigarus. We read all the suggestions we receive! Thank you for the feedback and letting us know what you'd like to see in future updates! EDIT: Sorry to hear you've had an issue with purchasing packs. If you've received a specific error message or you haven't received packs that were paid for, please send details of this over to our support team where we'll get this sorted for you!

### 4/5 — Has Potential

*2021-03-31, version 1.051*

Game has potential. Most have indicated that the rate of drops is low, most items are obtainable by F2P so it’s not a big deal with consistent play, it does limit creativity in early game with dungeon creation. The problem with this game it has a lot of grindy elements, there’s not a lot variation in content only daily task and building and dungeon rankings.

I’d suggest implementing a story mode with a progress tracker for completing parts ( w/ rewards system) of the story and maybe cosmetic options (hair, face and gender) with character creation would be nice.

### 5/5 — Semplice ma efficace

*2021-03-16, version 1.051*

Il gioco mi ha attirato subito. Ma ha bisogno di più ambientazioni, oggetti e mostri. E aggiungerei anche alcuni sistemi per la QoL

### 5/5 — this game is great

*2021-03-15, version 1.051*

i’ve been looking for a game that i can play during school and this is definitely one of them it’s sooo addicting and i have literally have no bad things to say about this game or not yet at least i recommend people play this

### 4/5 — Fun game! No scum, and looks great!

*2021-03-07*

This is a great free-to-play game. There are no obtrusive ads, and no obnoxious pay-to-win elements. The gameplay is a fun dungeon crawler with simple controls.

MONOLISK’s art style is amazing! You can put a few blocks together, and it’ll look pretty.  My complaints are that there aren’t many different decorations for your dungeons, and that the dungeons are quite shallow. The dungeons are pretty bland, just get from point a to point b and kill the enemies. Something to fix this would be options to press a button, open a door kind of system. As for decorations, the dungeon styles don’t have very many different decoration options. All I’m asking is for a statue or two, or maybe even the ability to merge styles together in one dungeon (I’m in a desert, but I wandered into an abandoned prison!) 

In summary, I think this is a great game (even though there’s not much depth) and you should get it and maybe even buy some card packs to support the developers.

### 5/5 — Molto Carino

*2021-03-04, version 1.051*

Davvero un bel passa tempo

### 5/5 — Disappointed

*2021-03-02, version 1.051*

I only did five stars because people need to see this... When I was looking for apps I found this one, I thought my search for good games was done but for some reason the game won’t load in! I tried swiping out of the app but it still would not work!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Utterly ruined by TERRIBLE controls

*2021-03-17, version 1.051*

I have yet to see a mobile ARPG with worse controls that go out of their way to misunderstand the player in the most disastrous way. 

Why would I want to attack a barrel or box next to a mortar that’s actively aiming at me?

Why would I want to rush into a mob of enemies while wielding a bow? 

Why would I want to run around randomly instead of attacking enemies right next to me?

Those are examples of the monumental UI/control scheme stupidity. 

Fix (or add a virtual control stick option) and I’ll give this the rating it otherwise deserves. Until then, enjoy 1 star rating because the control scheme is unplayable.

Update: Controls are still rubbish. No improvement since the last review. Add a virtual control stick or this will continue to sit at 1 star.

### 1/5 — Great loading screen

*2020-12-31, version 1.037*

But my iPhone 12 won’t load the game for some reason, I don’t know why but I hope I will get to see the game soon

### 1/5 — Money stealing

*2020-10-08, version 1.037*

It constantly has to reconnect even though it doesn’t to cheat me out of actually getting anything I buy or do or complete.

### 1/5 — I’m stuck on the title screen

*2020-09-17, version 1.037*

I’m can’t get in the game make mobile work better

### 1/5 — Nicht Spielbar :(

*2020-08-16, version 1.035*

Hängt sich beim laden auf ob 3G/4g oder Wifi kann es leider nicht spielen OS ist auch aktuell,auch schon neu Installiert funktioniert leider nicht schade sieht Interessant aus.

### 1/5 — Not bad, not good.

*2020-08-03, version 1.035*

A lot to do but no real reason to do it. The gear is anything special and there’s no real reward for finishing a dungeon. Cute enemy animations make me wanna play more but with no progression or build up, gets tedious.  Definitely need some souls like progression or something

### 1/5 — I Love This Game But....

*2019-12-10, version 1.014*

Hello! i really like this game but something very anoying stop me to vote you 5 star because that lock shards after few visitors can’t win the shards is really bad... It stop people want to make high equality shards because it that shards that too hard will get lock soon and need to unlock all times so some visitors can’t even try it. So all people just focusing on do easy and fun shards so that shards can earning more star not getting block and that make the game down... So I recommend you can remove that locked shards feature or u can have limited levels when some one try hard shards so that only good visitors with enough stuff can try and it not make the shard locked because visitors with good stuff can Win the shards ... Thanks for Listening and i will review back to 5 stars after you do that!!!

### 1/5 — 火砲太強

*2019-11-15, version 1.012*

已經移除 掰

### 1/5 — Broken

*2019-11-13, version 1.012*

It won’t let me own it, every time I click on it. It keeps knocking off, please fix it.

### 1/5 — Can’t get into game

*2019-10-25*

I’m stuck on a connecting screen every time I log in. I’ve tried mobile data and internet but nothing seems to work. I don’t think the game works on iPhone 11 because I’ve seen it work on an older phone

**Developer response:** Hey, please try reinstalling the game. It's probably some sort of data issue during installation. If it doesn't help, please contact us on support@tricksterarts.com

### 5/5 — Excellent Creation

*2026-04-17, version 1.051*

If you guys do this correctly, you could make this game waaaaaay bigger than most. That’s coming from someone who has played almost every MMORPG game ever created, and beaten almost every puzzle game you can remember. Add a home that you can decorate, add a chat, add character customization, including skins, and add dungeons and bosses and you’re set.

### 5/5 — A true gem

*2025-03-03, version 1.051*

You really get something unique with this game. There’s the rpg genre (character classes and items), but at the same time you get to be creative and build your own levels and play what others have created as well. On top of all that there’s also a bit of card collection. There’s something for everyone :)

### 5/5 — Pls update game

*2024-09-10, version 1.051*

I love this game but why no more update

### 5/5 — .

*2023-07-17, version 1.051*

I just started and it’s such a great game, my only problem, PLEASE MAKE A JOYSTICK, like the dash you need to swipe so why not have an option for joystick and u press the dash button(u already have dash button)  please PLEASE.

### 5/5 — This game answers the burning question

*2023-06-17, version 1.051*

What if Platform Racing 2 and Diablo 2 had a baby?

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2023-03-24, version 1.051*

Simply beautiful. Everything within the game, from the graphics to the designs to the animations is absolutely incredible. The game itself plays very well, and is very enjoyable. This game truly is a gem, and the things people have made are amazing. The worst thing about the game is that it can be a bit slow going if you don’t pay money, but even if you don’t, you’ll still enjoy the game very much. I 100% recommend this game!

### 5/5 — FANTASTICO

*2022-03-23, version 1.051*

mi diverte un casinò, è anche originale , mi piace, davvero molto , se lo conoscesse tutto il mondo sarebbe un gioco amatissimo per il mio parere❤️

### 5/5 — I Do Recommend

*2022-02-16, version 1.051*

I actually think this is a really good game it lowkey feels like a d&d mobile game

### 5/5 — Simple, Easy, Great.

*2022-02-12, version 1.051*

My friend told me try it out a while back, and being a fan of RPG and JRPGs, loved it. However, I had to delete it due to storage space on my old phone. Today I remembered this game existed, so I went to download and see if I could link my account - I could. I just needed to get a transfer code from my old device, so I went and reinstalled it - the game instantly remembered my profile, without even me needing to put anything. After a very easy account sink, I have to recommend the game for such a wonderful UI. If you like Map Makers, RPG/JRPGs, and to an extent MMORPG, you’ll probably like this game:

### 5/5 — meh

*2021-12-18, version 1.051*

great game, i just don’t like the fact that i can’t move and attack manually
