At that point the game becomes impossible. It literally could take 100 tries until you get the rng to beat the level. And there is literally nothing to do about it. Even if one wanted to spend hundreds of dollars on dark steel (the currency use to upgrade) it wouldn’t help. What is double frustrating is that if dark steel wasn’t so hard to come by, I imagine one could level up enough to make the levels more doable - Really hard but doable. But after spending an hour on a level to beat it, one is rewarded 5 dark steel which is worthless. Even the super fun pirate ship , where one could earn a somewhat decent amount of dark steel, only could be played every two days. I cannot image why the developers are being so stingy with it. It’s not like even paying for it is a viable option unless I’ve spend 1000s of dollars. Great game till act 3. Don’t waste your time if you are going to want to play act 3. ### 4/5 — Freezes/add *2026-08-23, version 2.3.7* I like this game (except if you want nice items you have to watch ads, kill yourself repeating battles, or purchase them), but it keeps freezing up during ads and I have to keep reuploading it. I am about out of patience. Thanks ### 3/5 — Не загружается игра *2026-08-22, version 2.3.7* Все было хорошо до момента,как первый раз зашел в неё без интернета,потом,как интернет появился-перестала загружаться,висит 74% загрузки,что делать? ### 4/5 — Good!! *2026-08-22, version 2.3.7* Amazing, but does require money to make any meaningful progress beyond a certain point ### 3/5 — Mostly decent game. *2026-08-19, version 2.3.7* I actually am mostly enjoying the game, though I believe there are a few issues that could/should (?) be addressed. First: The fact that the game doesn’t allow iOS users to redeem the redemption codes. According to all of the information I have been able to find the redemption code window should either have a ‘button’ so players can enter a code and redeem it, on the general settings window or some iOS users have to tap the “Credits” button three (3) times to open the redemption code window. Unfortunately for myself running iOS 26.6 neither option works. There is no ‘button’ marked “Redeem” on the general settings window. As for tapping the “Credits” button just opens the Credits window, no it doesn’t matter how many times you tap the Credits button. Three (3) times quickly or twenty (20) times as fast as you can, makes absolutely no difference. All tapping the Credits button does is open the Credits window. Second: The pathetic weapons selection. Seriously? While I do understand the developers aren’t interested in overpowering players but seriously the highest damage raying I have seen after most of the year I have been playing is 10? Seriously? What a load of low level garbage. Now a few do have some slight advantages in magic percentages added to some of the weapons but the damage factor is completely ridiculous at how little damage can be inflicted per hit. Perhaps there are some higher damage weapons that hasn’t shown up in the game store but I am Level 100, I have all three sets you can purchase with in game gold which aren’t terrible, but the best weapon I have so far discovered in the store, which I check daily, has been 6-10 basic damage value. I have somewhere around 350,000 gold, actually I think it’s closer to 400,000 now. I definitely have plenty of gold to use toward purchasing a weapon that can actually inflict some serious damage. I would like to actually be able to actually clear any of the timed runs but unfortunately that is apparently impossible. I repeatedly play the PVP and the Challenges. While I do well in the PVP section I still cannot clear any of the timed challenges even though my defense rating is 244 with 342 as my health. Unfortunately being limited by my damage value being a pathetic 6-17 there is no way to clear ‘literally’, yes really, any of the timed sections. I have cleared both the first and second level of challenges completely, excluding the timed ones, and am working on the third level although I have definitely slowed down my efforts since it doesn’t matter because of the impossibility of clearing the timed levels. For all the excellent cards that can be used none have so far proven to be able to help clear the timed levels. It simply takes longer than we are given because of how long it takes to defeat each opponent. There just isn’t enough time when dealing such minor damage. ### 3/5 — Newbie *2026-08-16, version 2.3.7* Just started but seems good so far. ### 4/5 — It’s good game *2026-08-09, version 2.3.7* I love it so far no problem at all ### 5/5 — Well put together game *2026-08-03, version 2.3.7* Never review normally but I had to for this one! Playing a month and now in act 3. Grinding but actually getting ahead by FTP. Keep up the great work devs! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-03, version 2.3.7* Haven’t been able to put it down since I started playing it thinking about not going into work this morning and just playing this all day, no joke 😂 ### 5/5 — Obsidian Knight *2026-07-31, version 2.3.7* Excellent Fun! ### 5/5 — So far, it’s pretty good *2026-07-30, version 2.3.7* Not too many ads & not trying to get you to buy stuff ### 5/5 — Simple but great game. *2026-07-30, version 2.3.7* Fun game ### 5/5 — Yes download!! *2026-07-29, version 2.3.7* Yes download the game!!! Very fun and satisfying to have you r character grow and become OP!!!! 5 stars!!!! ### 2/5 — Look out *2026-07-28, version 2.3.7* They can hack your game!!!!!! ### 5/5 — So far the game is *2026-07-27, version 2.3.7* So far the game is pretty fun. It’s OK it’s a good game. I like it. ### 3/5 — H *2026-07-25, version 2.3.7* Hounding ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Soft locked me into writing this review. *2026-08-26, version 2.3.7* Good game but kinda dumb that it’s forcing me to write a review to open it. ### 1/5 — Fix the timings on Fleet Armada *2026-08-24, version 2.3.7* Love the game so much BUT, fleet timings are broken. The amount of times I’m waiting over the 48hr point is a joke. I’m a daily player and it makes me wanna stop checking in, it always extends over the time for 0 reason ;( ### 1/5 — Another money grab *2026-08-18, version 2.3.7* As another reviewer said, this game just wants you to pay for progress. Failing a mission, which you are supposed to do to grind gold/exp until you can beat it, rewards about 40 gold/experience. 2 hours into the game, your upgrades for 1 out of 8 equipment slots will be 960 gold, and you will need about 1000 exp to level up. A failed run takes about 3 minutes, so 1 hour minimum per equipment upgrade. And you WILL fail every new mission you enter. You can watch a long ad for 150 gold. Or you can spend $1 and get 1500 gold. Thats right, people spending $1 on the game will boost them up a full 1 1/2 hours of grinding. It’s just yet another bare bones, mission based “roguelite” where the dev hopes you get so frustrated you just throw money at the game to feel good. And surprise, the dev put the pop-up asking you to rate the game within the first 10 minutes, when you are still cruising through the levels buying better equipment after every mission. ### 1/5 — 2+ minute ads, beware! *2026-08-13, version 2.3.7* 2+ minute ads, beware! ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-07-24, version 2.3.7* I’m getting only 30-40 gold on a run before dying. My next weapon upgrade costs 1900 gold. I’m only an hour into the game. That’s an insane amount of grinding to do for ONE upgrade. There’s still shirts, gloves, shields, pants, and shoes to upgrade. Nope. I’m not wasting my time with these low payouts. Your ads give 150 gold. Imagine NOT playing the game is 5 times more valuable. I might as well go watch tv if I’m just gonna sit there and stare at commercials. ### 1/5 — This game is stupid *2026-07-22, version 2.3.7* I can’t even get past level 2 and you can’t go back levels to level up or anything ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-07-09, version 2.3.7* Will fix the review after as the game usually works great, but I haven’t been able to log in for about a week now because there’s a pop up saying that I need to update the app, though no update is available. ### 1/5 — It's not even a game *2026-07-09, version 2.3.7* The entire "game" is just picking an upgrade between 2 random options every 10-15 seconds. That's all you can do. Everything else is just automatic ### 1/5 — Skills not working *2026-06-29, version 2.3.7* Have liked the game so far and want to continue. But i have died every time i get the skill that says armor and health cant be damaged at the same time. And then i die with full armor right after that. Whats the point of the skill if it doesnt work ### 1/5 — Game closed??? *2026-06-27, version 2.3.7* This game was great. Them one day it would load to 74% and never open. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — F2P friendly and currently my fav game *2026-08-26, version 2.3.7* Love the game!! Cant wait for a new upcoming updates and acts, keep the good work up pleasee ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-22, version 2.3.7* So far no pay to win which is always a plus ### 5/5 — Loved the dev npc *2026-08-20, version 2.3.7* Game is good but just started playing will keep you updated ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-19, version 2.3.7* Only did 3 sections but fun so far. You deserved this review just for the unique way of asking for one and not the normal popup ### 5/5 — Ds *2026-08-13, version 2.3.7* Like it ### 5/5 — Bun *2026-08-11, version 2.3.7* Bun ### 5/5 — Нужно больше контента,пожалуйста *2026-08-11, version 2.3.7* Отличная игра.Но за месяц ежедневной игры проходится основной контент,остаются несколько испытаний и ежедневные задачи на 15 минут. Хочется больше снаряжения,петов например Ждем обновы :) ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-10, version 2.3.7* Fun ### 5/5 — Fun concepts *2026-08-10, version 2.3.7* Good game ### 5/5 — Early on *2026-08-05, version 2.3.7* To ask for a review comes early on in the game, but there is no pressure to purchase, and the steaks are low. It's a great game to just vibe out on. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
