### 1/5 — Не работает

*2026-08-31*

Зависает на экране загрузки

### 5/5 — Sehr cooles Spiel

*2026-08-30*

Macht echt Spaß und ich liebe die Grafik

### 3/5 — 残念点

*2026-08-30*

１、買い物増やしたり合成してバックの中を一括で整理したい時、一個一個横のバッグに移さないといけないの大変

ボタン一個でショップを使えないようにして大きい予備バッグ的なのを追加して欲しい
全部入れ終わったら解除できて買い物の続きできるとか

2、チャレンジタワーの面白さがわからない
バッグの中身は初回のアイテムだけで合成するわけでもなく補充するわけでもないのに一生、別に苦戦もするわけでもない相手を一方的に倒すだけ
しかも自動的に次のステージすすんでくれるのは20ステージ攻略してから
とりあえずつまらない

ある程度合成やらなんかプレイする側がやること増やすか攻略限界までスキップできるようにして欲しい

3、被さった一マス、アイテムの取り出しやすさを改善か強制的に予備バッグに移すようにして欲しい

**Developer response:** 詳しいご意見をお寄せいただき、誠にありがとうございます。①バッグ整理の際に一つずつ移し替える手間、②チャレンジタワーの単調さとスキップ解放の遅さ、③重なったマスからのアイテムの取り出しづらさ——いずれも実際に遊び込んでくださっているからこそのご指摘で、大変参考になります。ご不便をおかけしており申し訳ございません。いただいた内容はそのまま開発チームへ共有し、操作性と遊びごたえの両面から改善を検討してまいります。

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-08-27*

It is a great game and I am having a lot of fun with it. I have, however, encountered rather annoying bug anytime I watch an ad and come back to the game. The audio becomes distorted and delayed, and the only fix I found is restarting the entire game, which is annoying as I only have three continues.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words, and we're sorry about the audio bug. Distorted, delayed sound after returning from an ad — with a full restart as the only fix, at the cost of your continues — is exactly the kind of problem we want gone. We've reported it to the development team with the details you gave. Thank you for your patience and for taking the time to describe it so precisely.

### 5/5 — NO AI WOOO

*2026-08-27*

This is my first time ever writing a review. This game is genuinely so well made. The gameplay loop is constantly fresh and so fun. 

I had tried a similar game but after a while realized it heavily utilized AI art. Very disappointed especially with the creators of that game claiming they made it…yikes. 

Anyways, very happy to say that’s not the case with this game! The style is very cute and compliments the well made music as well, the animations also surprised me with how well they were made. Overall a very solid game!

### 3/5 — ビジュアル◎でとっつきやすい、課金圧は強め

*2026-08-26*

ビジュアルやデザインはとても良く、UI・操作性はもう少し改善できそうですが、概ね満足です！

インスパイア元と異なり基礎ステータスやチート級の持ち込みレアアイテムという概念があるので、時間かお金をかければ着実に攻略は可能です。
逆に言うと、運と戦略性だけで戦うには限界がありますね。

一方、システムの根幹であるバッグの広さが、課金通貨を使用しないと広くならないという点はかなりナンセンス。
こればかりは時間や運で代替できない明確なPay to win要素ですのでネガティブな要素と言えるでしょう。
そこそこのペースで集中的に遊ぶには、実質的に必須な課金要素がわりと多いので、フルプライスではないにしろ数千円はかかります。
ゲーム自体はかなり面白いので、いっそ有料ゲームとして販売してくれたらなと個人的に思わずにはいられませんでした。

(タイトルはマーケティング先行すぎて要領を得ないなあという感じがします…)

**Developer response:** 大変丁寧なレビューをありがとうございます。ビジュアルやデザインを評価いただけたこと、嬉しく思います。一方で、システムの根幹であるバッグの拡張が課金通貨に依存している点についてのご指摘は、明確なご不満として真摯に受け止めております。UI・操作性の改善とあわせ、拡張手段のバランスを見直せるよう開発チームへ共有いたしました。タイトル名についてのご意見もありがとうございます。今後の参考にさせていただきます。

### 1/5 — Scam pretending to be good

*2026-08-25*

Albeit, I did have fun. It's an idle game where you pick and choose different items and merge them or make your guy really strong for 12 rounds or so. The bigger issue is that if you gain a new character, which is fairly late in the game, EVERYTHING else carries over EXCEPT your inventory expansion slots. I had already spent 10 dollars to get the biggest one, because I thought it would carry over. Not only does it NOT carry over to the next character, you have to PAY ANOTHER 10 DOLLARS TO USE THE BIGGEST INVENTORY. The other inventory expansions cost in game currency, and that's fine and dandy but considering I spent money on this game I figured it would let me keep using it. Anyways, wish I could rate lower, not a bad game if you don't spend money, out of sheer respect for myself I will no longer frequent this game and am uninstalling as I type this.

**Developer response:** We're truly sorry. Expecting the inventory expansion you paid for to carry over to a new character is a completely reasonable assumption, and we understand why being asked to pay again felt like a betrayal of that. Thank you for explaining exactly where the expectation broke — that clarity helps. Both the carry-over behaviour and how it is communicated before purchase have been passed to the team as a priority. We're sorry it ended this way.

### 1/5 — 運営がランキングに干渉(サ終の恐れ)

*2026-08-25*

2026年夏季に実施されたサマーイベントのパート2にて、ランキング形式のイベントが実施されましたが、上位にBotと思われるプレーヤーが数多くランクインしました。ランキングはプレイの善し悪しでは無く、単純にお金を積んだ額が競われました。その為、課金額を釣り上げるためにBotを仕込み、ユーザーへ課金を促したと思われます。この議題はゲーム内チャットおよびdiscordの専用サーバーで内でも取り扱われ、証拠となるスクショも幾つか散見されました。事実確認を行い潔白を証明すべきかと思います。

**Developer response:** 詳細なご指摘をお寄せいただき、ありがとうございます。ランキングイベントの結果について、ご不信を抱かせてしまいましたことをお詫び申し上げます。
ご指摘を受け、当該サマーイベント（パート2）のランキングデータを改めて確認いたしましたが、運営がランキングに介入した事実や、課金を促す目的でBotを配置したといった事実は確認されておりません。経緯について十分にご説明できていなかった点は、私どもの至らなさによるものと受け止めております。
ランキングの公正性はゲームの根幹に関わるものと考えております。今後も不正の監視を継続するとともに、イベント結果に関するご説明の充実に努めてまいります。貴重なお声をありがとうございました。

### 3/5 — Impossible de lancer le jeux

*2026-08-25*

Je jeux à l’air sincèrement bien mais je suis dans l’incapacité totale de lancer le jeu je capte pas ça reste bloqué à un quart de la barre de chargement

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour, et toutes nos excuses : rester bloqué au quart de la barre de chargement sans jamais pouvoir lancer le jeu est très frustrant. Nous avons transmis votre signalement à l'équipe de développement afin que ce problème de chargement soit examiné. Merci de votre patience — nous espérons sincèrement que vous pourrez bientôt en profiter.

### 4/5 — 大きな不満はタイトル名だけ

*2026-08-25*

魔王城を目指す勇者たちの武器や道具を購入、合成、売却し、バフ、デバフ、状態異常を駆使して敵を倒していくRPG。

ゲームバランスがとても良い。適当にやれば順当に負けるくらいには難しいが、しっかり考えてプレイすればクリアできる絶妙な塩梅。

メインストーリーなどが存在しないのが少し残念だが、そこに脳のリソースを使わずに遊べるので逆に良いかもしれない。

キャラデザも凝っていて眺めてるだけでも結構楽しい。
こつこつとキャラや装備、ペットを集めていく楽しさもある。

細かい不満はあれど、それでもゲームの面白さの方が勝るので星5でも良いかなとレビュー書き始めは思った。

が、個人的に唯一無視できないと感じたものがある。
それがゲームのタイトル「チート勇者」。
アプリを開くたびに「チート要素どこやねん」という思考が過ぎる。
ゲームの端々から熱意と拘りが感じられるのに、何故タイトルはそうなった。もっと他にいいのあったでしょうに。
偉い人のゴリ押しでも入ったんじゃないかと邪推してしまう。

**Developer response:** とても丁寧で、熱のこもったレビューをありがとうございます。ゲームバランスやキャラクターデザイン、収集要素まで細かく見ていただけたこと、開発チーム一同大変嬉しく思っております。タイトル名についてのご意見も、率直にお伝えいただきありがとうございます。ゲームの中身との間に違和感を覚えさせてしまっている点は真摯に受け止め、今後の展開の参考にさせていただきます。引き続きお楽しみいただけますと幸いです。
