### 2/5 — Les contrôles sont trop difficiles

*2025-11-03*

Le principe du jeu est top et les décors sont vraiment beaux mais le grand problèmes c’est qu’il trop difficile à contrôler. Les contrôles entre les troupes et le village se mélange, il faudrait trouver un moyen de les différencier !

### 2/5 — Needs improvements

*2025-10-23*

The game is almost there. Art is good, mechanics are good, it’s just the controls are super jank. There was an update 5 days ago and I’m amazed that that counts as “improved” controls. You need a way to select multiple units instead of fighting with the camera and moving one at a time. Units don’t attack unless you command them to and if you’re fighting with controls it’s hard to even select the right unit. There’s way too much going on to be able to play the game because of these controls. I played for 10 minutes and gave up. Please fix these controls. I really want to give this game a shot. I also hate feeling like I wasted my money.

### 2/5 — Controller support would be nice

*2025-10-23*

I really want to like this game. But due to the aggravating controls, and long winded dialogue, I give it a miss

### 2/5 — Difficult controls

*2025-10-22*

The game looks great. Strongly advise developers to add joystick or smth to help with heroes control. During Mission 2 and the rest it’s pretty hard to control the hero and units.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you liked the visuals. We understand that controlling the hero and units can still be tricky, your suggestion for a joystick is appreciated and something we’ll consider as we look into further improving the controls.

### 2/5 — Un jeu plus esthétique que fonctionnel

*2025-10-19*

Quel dommage que les contrôles ne soient pas à la hauteur de la superbe direction artistique ! Le jeu est tout simplement injouable en l’état : on sélectionne une unité sur deux, les déplacements sont imprécis, et il est impossible de micro-manager correctement ses troupes. Le niveau de difficulté reste faible, et le développement trop basique. On ne perd pas parce que le jeu est exigeant, mais simplement parce qu’on n’arrive pas à contrôler son héros… frustrant !

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes désolés que l’expérience reste frustrante malgré les améliorations récentes. Vos remarques sur la précision des contrôles et la gestion des troupes sont précieuses et nous allons les étudier de près pour continuer à affiner le jeu.

### 3/5 — Nice concept but

*2025-10-16*

The controls are horrendous, the game reminds me of two crows massively. Fun but soo difficult to play.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We're happy you enjoyed the concept. The controls have been improved in the latest update to be much smoother and more intuitive. We hope this makes the game easier and more fun to play.

### 2/5 — Was so hopeful

*2025-10-15*

Love the art and concept but the controls are just rough. Difficult to play on my phone so just a bit too frustrating for me.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you liked the art and concept. The controls were improved in the latest update to be more fluid and intuitive on mobile. We hope you'll give it another try and find the experience more enjoyable.

### 2/5 — Contrôles absurdes

*2025-10-14*

Ce jeu est impossible à contrôler. Corrigez cela SVP

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre message. Les contrôles ont été retravaillés dans la dernière mise à jour pour être plus fluides et intuitifs. Nous espérons que cela rendra le jeu beaucoup plus agréable à prendre en main.

### 3/5 — Maj svp !

*2025-10-11*

Contrôles compliqués !!!

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour ! Les contrôles ont été simplifiés et améliorés dans la dernière mise à jour pour une expérience plus fluide. N’hésitez pas à réessayer et à nous dire si vous sentez la différence.

### 2/5 — The game controls are terrible！

*2025-10-10*

The game controls are terrible. It's not that the game itself is hard, but the poor control design makes it extremely difficult to play! The experience is really bad!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We understand how frustrating bad controls can be, and we’ve improved them in the latest update to make the gameplay much smoother and more intuitive. We hope this makes the experience more enjoyable for you.

### 2/5 — Rough controls

*2025-10-09*

I was really excited for this game and the idea is still solid. But man, the controls are rough. Things keep accidentally getting clicked and it makes moving the armies really difficult. This game would be a lot more enjoyable if the controls were better.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you liked the concept. The controls have been improved in the latest update to reduce misclicks and make army movement smoother. We hope the experience feels much better now.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2025-10-08*

Could’ve been an Awesome game, really great concept and I love the art and gameplay. However, moving the units around and interacting with the town can get glitchy and annoying to use. The game glitches so much it’s unplayable at times and then you have to start over. You should also be able to save in the middle of levels, seriously. That’s probably the worst part about this game. I know the game is new so I’m hoping for some improvements in the near future.  Also hope there will be some sort of endless mode, that would be AWESOME. But until they fix everything… 2 stars :(

**Developer response:** Thanks for your detailed feedback. We're really glad you enjoy the concept, art, and gameplay. The latest update improved controls and overall stability, and we’re aware that saving mid-level is a highly requested feature ,it's something we're actively considering. Endless mode is also a great suggestion. We hope to bring meaningful improvements soon and appreciate your support despite the issues.

### 1/5 — Poor controls

*2026-08-21*

Tried out the game. Big pro is the cool art style.

The reviews of this game are right. Trying to move your units around is too difficult. You constantly end up not being able to move or reposition them.

### 1/5 — Contrôles indigestes

*2026-02-21*

Dommage car ce jeu a du potentiel. Mais les contrôles sont mal pensés, on clique sans arrêt sur les mauvaises troupes, on ne comprend pas on en est notre barre de vie et on se retrouve au panneau game over, le rassemblement des troupes est aléatoire. Injouable.

### 1/5 — steuerung

*2025-11-10*

grottenschlechte steuerung für ein mobile spiel, ich will mein geld zurück

### 1/5 — 스마트폰으로 스타크래프트를 하는게 나을지경

*2025-10-27*

조작감이 매우 구립니다. 걍 막 눌리고 어디를 눌러야할지 표시도 없고 화면내 조작을 돕는 버튼도 없습니다.

### 1/5 — 리뷰를 믿으세요..

*2025-10-26*

10월26일자까지 조작감이 아주 최악입니다… 게임비쥬얼이 좋아서 받았는데, 부대지정과 이동 공격등 모든면에서 컨트롤하기가 힘듭니다. 부대를 선택할때마다 스트레스에요..부대랑 캐릭이 겹쳐있으면 선택이 거의 불가할 지경이에요. 제발 제작사에서 대대적인 개편을 해주길 바랍니다

### 1/5 — controls are awful on mobile

*2025-10-11*

just terrible not even worth

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We’ve improved the controls in the latest update to make them much more intuitive and responsive on mobile. We hope you’ll give it another try and see the difference.

### 1/5 — Wish I would not have bought

*2025-10-10*

Controls are absolutely awful. Navigating the battlefield is nearly impossible and you can't build on every plot of land in your villages, otherwise when trying to move around you end up clicking off your character, resulting in death of PC over and over again. The start is also very fast paced, not giving you the time to learn these already botched mechanics before you're being slaughtered. The game has potential but needs serious adjustments. Such a shame because I was actually interested in the plot.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your detailed feedback. We're glad the story caught your interest, and we understand your frustration with the controls and pacing. We've improved control responsiveness and navigation in the latest update, and we're reviewing the early-game balance to make it more accessible. Your input is really helpful as we work to improve the experience.

### 1/5 — Worst game

*2025-10-10*

This game is poor in how to play and wastes money

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the game didn’t meet your expectations. The controls and overall experience have been improved in the latest update. We hope you'll consider giving it another try.

### 1/5 — Did you test your own game before selling?

*2025-10-08*

The controls are completely useless and difficult for players.Story and gameplay are just good but the game itself isn’t playable with this kind of control. Did they make on purpose.Two crown rip-offs with terrible controls.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry the controls made the experience frustrating. They’ve been improved in the latest update to be much more fluid and intuitive. We appreciate your thoughts on the story and gameplay, and we hope the updated controls help change your impression.

### 1/5 — 컨트롤이 개 망

*2025-10-08*

컨트롤을 하라는건지 말라는건지 모르겠음

**Developer response:** 피드백 감사합니다. 최근 업데이트에서 조작을 전반적으로 개선해 훨씬 더 부드럽고 직관적으로 만들었습니다. 다시 시도해보시고 변화가 느껴지신다면, 평가를 재고해주시면 감사하겠습니다.

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2026-06-15*

I’ve been playing this game for a bit now I really do like the idea and how the game plays I don’t have much complaints. 

Would love like a skirmish mode or like a battle mode where it’s not apart of the story.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-04-21*

Très beau jeux, je pense que vous devez revoir le système de contrôle déplacement et sélection des troupes, le jeu sera incroyable !

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-10-30*

Having lots of fun so fun! Some issues but i’ll let devs time to correct them

### 5/5 — Good game but controls hard

*2025-10-10*

The game very good but the unit control is hard and unpleasant to move around the unit doesn’t auto attack Wich is annoying cause ur commander is dying  while they juste watching him… but good game hope u guys fix some of the issue

### 5/5 — Passion

*2025-10-08*

I love it ^^

### 5/5 — Bem bom o jogo

*2025-10-08*

Espero que tenha continuação a história bem legal

### 4/5 — Gros potentiel mais trop court

*2026-01-17*

Il mérite d’être plus accompli, pouvoir jouer avec le clan que nous voulons, avoir un scenario plus vaste ect. On espère qu’il y aura une MAJ car le jeux se finit en quelques heures…

### 4/5 — Joguei e 1 jogo bom

*2025-12-02*

A proposta é bem interessante, mas o modo de controlar os personagens é estranho! Envio eles para atacar inimigos atrás porém o personagem não vai até que os da frente sejam eliminados, isso quebra a imersão e impossibilita de criar estratégias de combate. Espero que melhorem esse problema, obg o jogo é bom mas melhorar isso ficará bem melhor

### 4/5 — Please add some skirmishes

*2025-10-17*

I like the factions that each of them resembling to civilizations, but the problem is that some people doesn’t always deal with the campaign. You could just always have some skirmishes maps

### 4/5 — Good game

*2025-10-07*

Great game, controls need some work.
