### 1/5 — アイテムが消える

*2026-08-09*

初手のプレイで5階まで登り、街に戻って装備品を倉庫に入れたらアイテムが虚空に消えました^^
素材系も街に戻ると勝手に倉庫に入る？
グラフィックは良いですがPAD無いとつらいのと、アイテム消失が起きるゲームをやる気は起きないので消しました。

### 3/5 — So many bug

*2026-08-07, version 0.5.06*

Please fix all the problems

### 4/5 — Its alright

*2026-08-04, version 0.5.06*

Been playing for about 10 hours after I bought the guild pass. Im not exactly crazy about the game. Inventory is insanely small, so very quickly you'll have to filter loot, with common and uncommon being useless almost immediately. Classes are fairly basic, the skills the classes use appear to be set in stone, only leaving your gear and rng for building the character you want, which resets anytime you leave the tower. The game also does a fairly poor job explaining the core game to you, which is fine in some games, but in a game like this it doesn't explain soul bound items, certain damage types, etc. The interface is also very frustrating, such as having to click multi-select multiple times for it to work, or not being able to upgrade or refine gear you are wearing or thats in your inventory and not at the warehouse. I don't think it's a bad game, just one thats just "alright". Gets very boring for me decently quick. Give it a try, if you don't like the free version, you probably wont get much more enjoyment from the "full" experience.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-08-01, version 0.5.06*

If you want to actually play the game fully, such as playing anything but the beginner class, you must shell out $13 to buy the game. It’s a shame, it looked fun but that pricing is crazy. For that price, I’d go get a PC quality game from an indie developer on Steam. I’ll be watching to see if the price comes down.

*Response to Developers*
Okay? It’s not about “best” when I’m stuck with the warrior class whose play style I happen to not enjoy as much as I think I would have on the other classes. So again, for me to enjoy the game - it is not free. If you had let me pick my first class then charged for additional classes, I might be on board. But in order for me to enjoy the game, you are requiring me to pay the price of an indie PC game and I’m disinterested in that, thanks though. I’ll be here if it ever comes down to $5 or if I get to pick my own first class instead of being forced into the class that I think I would enjoy the least.

***UPDATE***

Now that I get to pick a starting class besides Warrior, I’ve actually given it a shot. I still think it’s not a good game. In my first tower run to advance to floor 10 and reach the first checkpoint, I got 3 bags worth of gear that I had to destroy. You basically fill a bag in like 2-3 floors of play but you can only get a checkpoint every 10. So unless you pay for the game, you literally have to destroy 2/3rds of your loot each run. I’ve done several play sessions and I just think it’s not worth unless you pay. 

Also, the game explains literally nothing so good luck figuring out any enchants, upgrades, etc. it’s not straightforward and it explains nothing.

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2026-07-30, version 0.5.06*

Pretty early on I hit a paywall that made me completely uninstall the game. You have to buy access the to full array of classes through an overpriced IAP. For the price of their “Guild License,” you could easily purchase a triple A title on sale or a much better quality game from an Indie developer. The only class they give you access to is the least enjoyable experience. I would have stayed if I was given more options without purchase, but for this price I’d rather just boot up Diablo, any of them, and I’d likely still have more enjoyment and have spent as much as the “license.”

### 4/5 — これは

*2026-07-28*

とてつもなく面白いのに、装備が全て消えました泣泣
面白すぎるからもういっぺんやったるぞ！！！

### 5/5 — 조작 안됨

*2026-07-27*

자동공격 기능이 안됩니다 옵션들어가서 초기화 및 여러가지 방법으로 다 해보고 삭제 후 다시깔아서 해도 자꾸 안됩니다 ...

### 1/5 — Save bug ruined game

*2026-07-26, version 0.5.05*

Your save file can and will be corrupted even if you use cloud save. The game crashed and went I logged back in my entire save file was gone from both the cloud and local. Dozens of hours, all my gold all of my stash and all of my characters reset to 0. Why play this if your progress can just be wiped at any time through bugs? Don't play this game 0/5 stars

### 5/5 — Enjoyable dungeon crawler

*2026-07-25, version 0.5.05*

The game evokes the old rpg nostalgia with its pixel art hero progression. Really nice gem.

### 4/5 — Amazing ‘Path of Exile’ ‘Diablo’ tower style!

*2026-07-25, version 0.5.05*

Really fun game But the UI Sucks. It feels like it was all drawn out by a 5year old come on now.
