Hopefully the developers will see this **Developer response:** Hi, ads are fixed in version 2.8.11 ### 4/5 — Great game just one suggestion *2021-10-05, version 2.5.5* The game is amazing. I’ve spent a lot of time so far on this. Just one thing in my opinion would make it a million times better. If the option to use my controller was made. I love playing games with controller support and this game would be perfect for it. If you guys can make that possible I would love it that much more. ### 4/5 — Lag issue *2021-08-27, version 2.5.5* When playing an add, after it ends there is a long pause from exiting the add till it switches back to the game. Sometimes I have to turn the game off and back on. And could there please be a selection for removing adds? ### 4/5 — Really good game! *2021-06-25, version 2.5.5* Amazing free game with so much potential. Would give it 5 stars but a certain point the game is unbeatable. For God’s sake nerf the Orc Archers! These are the true last boss of the game. Tanky, ranged attack, high damage, POISON ON HIT, and they literally spawn all the time on Dead Trenches level 3. Done 3 runs and every time I die to them. Developer, if you’re reading this, please change them ASAP! You have a gem of a game. ### 4/5 — I want to love this! *2021-06-22, version 2.5.5* I’ve played through a few runs thus far and love the concept, but something is just missing. I understand the need for ads to generative some revenue, but if I could spend $3.99 to sell my gear without watching an ad or progressing 5 levels, I’d pay it gladly. I’d even spend a couple bucks to buy some gold to upgrade a little bit or a bundle package for $9.99 to unlock all heroes. Perhaps even some money to keep inventory on death each time. You have to pay yourselves in order to want to continue improving the game. There’s so much potential here. For new players, watch the first boss on floor 5, it will stop and a red exclamation mark will appear, the boss will shoot out a bunch of spikes. If you’re too close, it will kill you in one shot. Took me 2 runs to figure it out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bruh *2021-07-03, version 2.5.5* Please add proper walking and swinging animations ### 1/5 — If I could give half a star I would *2021-07-02, version 2.5.5* Not a rogue like this is a limited RPG do your research please don’t scam people ### 3/5 — Great game, bad ads. *2022-09-08, version 2.9.12* Giving the game 3* for the sole reason that they do not offer a one-time purchase to purchase the full game without ads. I know there’s plenty of people who can look passed ads, but I’m not one of them. Would gladly pay $5 to remove ads and have access to full game. ### 3/5 — Game freezes *2022-09-08, version 2.9.12* After watching the ad to get your mule back quicker you’ll end up watching the ad and then the screen will just go gray and the game won’t start back up then you have to close it out then it starts all over again please fix ### 3/5 — Fix ads please *2022-07-15, version 2.8.11* I lost my legendary set for my rogue 2x already because the ads were not working when I died. It just froze during watching ads. ### 3/5 — weird *2022-01-29, version 2.6.1* mule looks like it was made in ms paint ### 3/5 — S’CR *2021-07-19, version 2.5.5* What’s S’CR in game. ### 3/5 — Phone gets too hot *2021-07-05, version 2.5.5* This game is pretty cool, but my phone gets rather hot while I’m playing it. Most other games (and I play a lot of them) don’t cause my phone to become nearly this hot while playing. And this game seems like it should be less intensive on processing than other games, which leads me to think it’s an optimization issue ### 3/5 — Change *2021-06-17, version 2.5.5* So hard to get money it need 50k coin to get commender ### 4/5 — Just What I Was Looking For *2022-07-19, version 2.8.11* I really like this game and it’s simplicity, but I wish there were more Legendary items. I also have a problem with the keys. Abyss seems much easier early game than the Arcane Planes, yet they seem to have the same loot tables. Why waste time clearing Arcane Planes when the loot is just as random? That’s my only real complaint, other than that, please add more items and/or classes! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — More game mode *2022-07-10, version 2.8.8* I think we need game mode like survivor vampire, it better if we can prepare item or buy item before the game start, more gold loot, the last one is more think to power up like gem or some passive skill. I love this game hope your dev can do all this even This game is free. :-) Thank for reading my comment. Love u guys **Developer response:** Thank you ### 5/5 — Excellent Lite Roguelike *2022-03-07, version 2.7.3* While there is nothing particular complex about this aRPG, that can be a good thing if you are only looking to play a quick dungeon crawl. The game in its current state is well polished, and I have been able to reach the end of the basic primary campaign without spending an excessive number of attempts (though I am sure the various challenges will greatly expand the potential content and difficulty). At this point, I can only notice a few flaws: 1) The left “movement” joystick is a little too finicky about exact finger placement to start movement. This can get annoying when you occasionally fail to accurately evade a monster rushing towards you. 2) Like other posters have complained, the orc bowmen are too powerful for their first appearance. I was not amused to be held up at 4-3 for four runs, only to reach the final boss fight on my very next run. Consider nerfing the orc bowmen and buffing the difficulty curve afterward, so the challenge growth remains consistent. 3) I have noticed that random events like merchants, shrines, challenge huts, and chests only appear in a level if you have not previously save and quit. I do not know if this is a bug or an effort to thwart save scummers, but at least I like being able to play games in short breaks without feeling punished for it. Sorry if it sounds like I am complaining, but I am at least trying to give detailed input. Thank you again for all the effort you have put into this game, devs. **Developer response:** Thanks for your detailed feedback! ### 5/5 — Great game for mobile *2021-12-15, version 2.5.5* I normally don’t rate games, but this time I had to. This game is amazing for a mobile game and gives thought to all of the loot in the game. I personally love this game and hope that you play it too! **Developer response:** Thank you ### 5/5 — I would love this game *2021-08-27, version 2.5.5* It's an awesome rogue like game. But I want to purchase a no adds bundle or something. it's not the ads I choose to watch that bother me, it's those pesky banner ads that are very annoying. But a purchase to disable all ads (watch ads and banner ads) would be so much better. That's pretty much it. The ads are the only thing I hate about this game. And I will gladly pay to disable them. And I don't mind earning the coins to unlock new heroes. I can earn ingame coins the right way by playing the game. Maybe a purchase with (no ads and bonus gold earnings). So you can earn gold a little quicker if you pay for the bundle. But please come up with something to disable those ads. It's a great rogue like game. ### 5/5 — Fun game, slow in beginning though. *2021-07-31, version 2.5.5* I enjoyed playing this game, each character has their own skills and equipment which makes it fun. Although I wish there was some kind of item codex to see which legendary‘s I haven’t found yet. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-07-22, version 2.5.5* However, would prefer an attack pad like mobile legends, and the joystick is pretty small and my thumb slips off it, and my left hand loses feeling while playing just from position I have to have in while playing. The above are my only complaints, for such a simple game it’s challenging, rewarding, and keeps my attention. Whoever put it together knows what they’re doing and it shows. Would like to see a paid version that removes the ads, the ads are well placed for a f2p game, they’re not invasive, and quite frankly it’s genius. It’s well worth the play and the app store needed it. We all know the selection of games on the monopolistic app store is terrible. Would love to be involved in the sequel, or even this game. 2 thumbs up! ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-06-13, version 2.5.5* Great little game but i would like to see more variety in weapons and maybe randomized stats. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-06-02, version 2.5.5* Супер рогалик, защип на неделю уже 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ### 4/5 — Controller support *2022-03-05, version 2.7.3* Great game. It would be much more fun if it has controller support please and thanks **Developer response:** Thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
