Great game best io game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cool *2021-02-13, version 1.5.2* I want to make an Addison but I can’t! when you kill someone you should add on the size of their sword. Please and thank you Charlie Stonebreaker ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2019-12-20, version 1.5.2* I’ll click on the app, and it won’t load like it kicks me out the game. Could be a cool game if I could get it to load ### 1/5 — Ads *2019-06-11, version 1.5.1* Seriously. Do you really need to put a ad everything time I die? It’s just getting annoying. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2018-09-30, version 1.3* No multiplayer they are bots I watch ads to revive myself and it doesnt revive it wastes my time horrible ### 1/5 — Eh *2018-02-06, version 1.2* Held my attention for literally 3 min (no joke) then on my second match I got into first place with 5000 more points then 2nd place. Unreal how easy and boring it is. There isn’t even online multiplayer, it’s just bots. ### 2/5 — Crashes often *2020-09-10, version 1.5.2* It’s a great game, but it crashes very frequently and it’s frustrating at times because you have to keep clicking the icon and trouble shooting until by luck the app fully opens without slowing down or crashing. ### 2/5 — Kind of False Advertising *2018-01-13, version 1.0* Although it's never explicitly stated in the app description, most people would assume that this, like almost all other .io games, is multiplayer. IT ISN'T. ALL OTHER PLAYERS ARE AI. This should be in the description of the app. Over all, it's still a semi-fun game, but much less so when you know that you're just playing against a computer. (For proof, play this game on airplane mode or with data/wifi turned off. It will still work, while a real multiplayer game wouldn't. And gee, no wonder it doesn't lag! There's no other devices to connect to!) ### 3/5 — Good *2017-12-01, version 1.0* I say it’s good and it’s my first review but it’s not which is 👎🏽 But good game! ### 4/5 — Ads *2019-02-16, version 1.5.1* Too Many ads ### 4/5 — Better than expected *2018-02-14, version 1.2* This actually turned out to be a better game I had thought. Really addictive concept and the gameplay is alright. The only thing I really want is no RANDOM ads. Any my rating for this is 7/10 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty good! *2023-06-24* I had downloaded this game in 2018 I just have to say it is a all out amazing game! Yes there at bots in the game and it still is pretty easy to get to the top 5 but the bots have some strategy built in so they can run away and attack. Most other games make bots purposely terrible at the game but not on this one! Anyway all games have their own ups and downs and I don’t mind play with bots bc they still have something going. ### 5/5 — Love it l! *2018-11-01, version 1.3* Very awesome my friend showed me this at school and I been playing this so much ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-07-06, version 1.3* It’s fun, but who cares if it’s bots! I was in a game with bots an other people. I love how it doesn’t lag because there is no ads you have to watch like the Voodoo games or Ketchapp games that when you play 1 game there is an ad! I love this game and I will play it forever! ### 5/5 — Good game *2018-03-02, version 1.2* Really fun 👍 ### 5/5 — Nice *2018-01-03, version 1.0* It’s good ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2017-12-24, version 1.0* An io game for your phone. It works. It's free. It's fun. Play it if you want. ### 5/5 — I’m Jk *2017-11-19, version 1.0* THIS GAME IS GREAT THE REVIEW BEFORE WAS JUST A JOKE DONT LISTNE TO IT!
