I haven’t played a phone game in this manner in over 12 years. There is nothing I like more than a game with substance, with its own art style, that also receives updates. Side note unfortunately this might not have the makings of a pc game but who knows. In reality, even at its current state, I would personally rate it 10/10 but nothing is perfect and it seems like, for the betterment, it’s forever changing. I cannot wait to see what else this game has in store for the future. P.S. excited for when this game gets voice actors ### 4/5 — Excellent *2026-06-14, version 1.70.11* First adjust the spell to auto lock. Player movement is great. I would like to see more vivid colors like Diablo. ### 5/5 — Good so far but could change if *2026-06-12, version 1.70.11* The game so far is good and so far the only problems would be gold is hard to obtain. Plus no reset for skills? ### 5/5 — Доброжелатель *2026-05-26* Дружищь , игра топчик на первый взгляд , дальше пройду оценю ### 5/5 — good *2026-05-07, version 1.70.11* very good ### 5/5 — Топ залип на пару дней *2026-05-05* Как Диабло подключение гемпадов можно ### 5/5 — Топ *2026-05-03* Разраб ты лучший человек в мире ### 4/5 — Close but *2026-04-29, version 1.70.11* The game is fun and has some mechanics and design that work well. As a free download you can choose a fire mage or archer to play. Both are fairly enjoyable with an issue being in game play designs by the developer that hurt the whole game experience. There are a hundred + masteries and skills that should add multiple ways to fight battles and keep the game fun. But its clunky attack wheel and having to stop, go to the character and manual switch abilities every time quickly, especially magic users, becomes broken. Also, it needs more everything. Worlds, quests and things to do like random encounters. Many maps become empty wastelands and once you finally get some decent gear the game is over, except for dungeon run mode. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-04-27, version 1.70.11* I can’t believe this isn’t atop every chart! This is a tremendous piece of work. Gorgeous graphics, locations, dungeons. Great quests and and main story. Huge variety of game play options and gear. Eminently re-playable. Congratulations! ### 4/5 — Eternal Crypt no longer works *2026-03-31, version 1.70.09* The eternal crypt just crashes the app after this update. I’ve tried lowering the graphics and power level, but the results are the same. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-03-29, version 1.70.09* This is the best open world rpg I’ve ever played ### 5/5 — Finally found what I’ve been looking for *2026-03-29, version 1.70.09* Closest thing to PoE or Diablo I’ve found on mobile, I can’t wait to dig into this hidden gem! ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2026-03-13, version 1.68.07* Power list is my childhood, no joke. ### 5/5 — Impressive Game *2026-02-25, version 1.68.07* Great game with lots of good content factoring it is made and designed by one person. Super impressive. Definitely deserves to be supported. The developer keeps true to their word keeping it free to play and not giving unfair advantages for a price. Cosmetics are the way to go! Can’t wait to see what new content will be released. ### 5/5 — Very nice *2026-02-21, version 1.68.07* The he minor bugs do not bother me in the slightest. They may soon be gone. I have fallen through the map a few times but there is an auto reset so it hats not a problem. So far, so good!!!! ### 5/5 — Хорошая игра) *2026-02-20* Отлично)) ### 5/5 — Top *2026-02-07* Super ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — BEWARE-Forced advertisement *2026-04-26, version 1.70.11* Creator says game is ftp, but upon opening developer forces you to accept tracked/forced ads… there IS NO option to deny the tracking/advertisement request from this third party software.. it is a danger to your personal information. BEWARE ### 1/5 — Вылет *2026-04-23, version 1.70.11* Написано что на айфоне Х должно работать,а по факту ,идёт надпись Юнити и сразу вылет! Зачем писать что поддерживает если это не проверено ### 1/5 — Gender *2025-02-02, version 1.66.04* Locked? ### 1/5 — What’s with the new equipment? *2024-04-30, version 1.63.01* The orange equipment is so much worse than the green equipment that I don’t even understand the point of them. ### 1/5 — Change the controller settings *2022-09-06, version 0.949* I am not, and this goes for a lot of ppl, use to the reverse controller option. Change the options in the menu to allow players to play on reverse controls. I don’t use the left stick to aim, I use it to move! Now change it!!!! ### 1/5 — 可玩性好、但是闪退 *2022-05-14, version 0.931* 游戏升级到8级后开始突然闪退、现在只要一进入主界面点击开始游戏就闪退、开发者能处理吗 ### 2/5 — Has potential but falls short. *2026-01-18, version 1.68.07* At first i was extremely impressed by this game. Oldschool-ish arpg, seems to understand the genre. Souls like combat is a high skill twist. Game is brimming with potential. It also clearly has a lot of effort put into it, so i feel bad knocking it. However, the more you play it, the more hollow it is from a balance perspective. So i’m going to be harsh in my criticism. - It’s an open world that scales with you. Every time you level up, so do the enemies. There’s drops all get 1 level stronger. That’s the damn antithesis of an RPG in my opinion. It’s like running on an infinite sisyphean treadmill…. your numbers get a bit bigger; the monster’s numbers get a bit bigger; and everything feels the exact same forever. - The quests are abundant and pointless. They never give anything beyond a meager quantity of gold and xp. Yet quests seem to be the only thing to do, besides run around aimlessly. - Gear is a basic one-dimensional stat-stick. Just equip the one with the bigger number, and more relevant affixes to your class. No difficult decisions to make, you will never say “oooo should i equip A or B?” Gear should be the driving force behind your rpg. Like assembling a delicate structure where everything component is carefully chosen, and if a single one is removed, the whole thing tumbles down. That takes delicate balancing from the dev. IMO the main problem is this game has no difficulty gradient. No matter where you go, it’s just more enemies of the same strength. How am i (the player) supposed to strategize about what to do next, if it literally doesn’t matter where i go, or what i do, the result is the same? There’s nothing to gnaw against. There’s no meat on the bone of this RPG. Make some areas harder than others. Have gear choices actually have meaningful impact on the way i play the game. Add ways the player can strategize to accomplish their goal. Like, maybe a lightning mage would farm lightning elementals for a chance at a specific lightning trinket drop. Focus on how to harness the skill based combat more. Different weapons types (under the same class) could have different playstyles, and synergize with skills in different ways, so the player can craft more personal identity into their combat. Because right now, the only interesting player choice i see, in the *entire game* is your 4 skills, and the talents points. When RPGs should really be about the intricate relationship between exploration, gear choices, skill choices, taking risks, combat mechanics. In this game many of the pillars are isolated or one dimensional. ### 2/5 — Much itty interface *2025-07-12, version 1.68.07* Very unhuman ### 2/5 — Good but… *2025-06-09, version 1.67.09* Gameplay is fun game has a lot to it. But unfortunately has game breaking bugs with the spells constantly saying not enough energy to cast even when at full and triple the energy required. ### 2/5 — No cloud save. Buggy. Impossible to see. *2025-05-26, version 1.67.09* Can’t turn camera, so sometimes you literally can’t see what you’re doing, including where a door is behind a roof. Ended up quitting the game because of two quest bugs locked my progression. Reinstalled to see if they were fixed to find that I lost my character. No cloud save in 2025. Oof. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Dungeon Crawler Ever! *2026-08-30, version 1.71.02* Superb mechanics in every aspect! Try out the Camera View package for more immersion! ### 5/5 — Great ARPG for mobile *2026-08-27, version 1.71.02* I’ve been playing a bit on and off for a year or two now and always enjoy coming back, progression with the power level system stays fun with essentially a difficulty slider that also increases rewards. F2P to boot makes this hard to beat! Addons from donating are nice but definitely not a necessity. Give it a shot! ### 5/5 — Engaging and NO ADS *2026-08-14, version 1.70.11* Fairly extensive gameplay with a large world map and different difficulty levels that make replay enjoyable. Some of the interior maps aren’t the highest quality and get confusing, BUT this is easily overlooked considering how much entertainment this game contains with zero ads and no reliance on pay-to-win. Character design is cool, the skill system is extremely flexible, and the story quests are engaging. Well worth a download. ### 5/5 — Hmm good game so far *2026-08-02, version 1.70.11* The graphics aren’t to bad,the game play is good the joystick gets stuck in the middle of a battle sometimes but it’s the closest rpg to old school ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-23, version 1.70.11* A few hours in. Great so far. Good UI. Very responsive controls. Judging by the discord there’s a depth and variety to the builds. I haven’t even scratched the surface yet. I’m excited to play my life away! ### 5/5 — Problem *2026-07-16, version 1.70.11* Love game but every time i move next screen on map game turns off ### 5/5 — Пожелание *2026-06-27* Ира хорошая , механика интересная лично для меня первое что зацепило и вызвало хорошие эмоции , дорогой разработчик если ты это читаешь добавь пожалуйста по больше разных сундуков и головоломок я думаю любители древних свитков оценят ### 5/5 — L o v e *2026-06-24, version 1.70.11* Okay so my phone decided since I was sick and didn’t play I Frfr a week it needed to offload it,then I didn’t have Wi-Fi to redownload for forever, and when I finally do??? THE GRAPHICS ARE INSANELY UPGRADED AND IM SO IMPRESSED RIGHT NOW THIS IS FANTASTIC IM SO EXCITED AH ### 5/5 — Hidden Gem *2026-06-16, version 1.70.11* I stumbled upon this game expecting a copy and paste formula like many other games of this genre but no! this one has heart to it!! It’s fun and somehow nostalgic and will provide many fun hours of gameplay ,i recommend donating to get some cool features to use ingame to make it even funner but by no means is it necessary to have fun initially. It’s just overall an amazing game. Really well done ### 5/5 — Keep up the work *2026-06-15, version 1.70.11* Dude I’m speechless one man army and an absolute masterpiece in the making keep it up lil fix’s but won’t stop me from playing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
