### 3/5 — Doesn't work

*2026-07-04, version 2.20.775*

The game doesn't work. Progress bar stops on 70%, when I start it. And nothing happens

### 3/5 — Вылетает

*2026-06-19*

Телефон соответствует требованиям игры, пару месяцев назад в неё играл. Сейчас не могу зайти, игра вылетает

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-04-02, version 2.19.767*

It is fun and difficult so 2 green flags right there but an issue is it is difficult to get gems for chests with out spending money

### 4/5 — Entertaining,

*2026-03-16, version 2.19.767*

Very good grind, can’t get bored playing it. Only downside is the fact it’s not a offline game.

### 2/5 — (Edit) UPDATE THIS GAME

*2026-03-07, version 2.19.767*

I love this game, I would like if they added a little bit more stuff to buy. Cosmetics and maybe add some new weapons.? Idk, but the game is good, difficult at times but good. (Edit) this game needs a serious update, been playing for a while now and still nothing new, it’s getting really boring, same gear/weapons, same enemies, everything is dull.

### 3/5 — Hello

*2026-03-06, version 2.19.767*

Не игра а мусор

### 3/5 — Good! try it.

*2026-02-18, version 2.19.767*

This game isn’t for everyone. It can definitely be hard, but the parrying mechanic is very Sekiro like. The graphics are good and the controls are great. BUTTT, you basically have to pay to get good gear. I understand that they have to make money, but I think that a player should be able to work hard enough to get good stuff.

### 5/5 — Sekiroo

*2026-01-29, version 2.19.767*

Deflect deflect deflect deflect 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

### 5/5 — I

*2026-01-27, version 2.19.767*

I hope you add a feature that attacks you more than one person instead of one person

### 5/5 — Just wow

*2026-01-25, version 2.19.767*

This game needs skill and is actually challenging. This game is a hidden gem

### 5/5 — 良いね

*2026-01-15*

個人的にはめちゃくちゃ面白い、難易度はめちゃくちゃ高いけどそれが良い
装備のレベルが足りなくてもプレイヤースキルで強引にクリア出来たりする。
どのスキルもちゃんと強くて1つのスキルを特化させて自分好みの戦い方が出来るのもいい。
その為には装備の厳選が必要だけどそれが楽しい

文句のつけ所としては放置の討伐時間が1時間だけの所、こまめにログインしないと行けないのが面倒くさい時があるし寝てる間の時間に6時間くらいの討伐に行かせて朝報酬を貰うみたいなルーティンを作れないのが他のゲームと比べて残念要素、スタミナが勿体ないと感じる。
運営さんがこのレビューを見てたら実装して欲しい

### 5/5 — Eh

*2026-01-13, version 2.19.767*

It's ok, attempt at dark souls samurai version but where samurais suck at sword fighting & move in slow motion

### 4/5 — .

*2026-01-03, version 2.19.767*

The game is awesome but I think you guys should add PvP and add account log in feature to save your progress in the game❤️🙏🏼

### 3/5 — Боссы

*2025-12-29, version 2.19.767*

Игра хорошая, спору нет, стилистика интересная, прокачка хоть и душновата, но в общем терпимо. Меня порвало с того, что проходя некоторых боссов, они своей огромной тушей не дают тебе выйти в центр локи и дудосят тебя до конца, ну это же не норма. Сделай вы, чтобы при загнании в угол игрока, моб отходил хотя бы на пару шагов.

### 1/5 — Progressive problems

*2025-11-25, version 2.19.760*

You cannot get loot above great without spending real life money or without being the ablsolute best at the game ir waiting a full week that will cause you to lose alot of players i think the game its self is great also the counter attack for the heavy’s should always show especially for bosses i might play this game in the future but for now i cant beat the boss because i am not the best and do not have over great loot very pay to win it would help if you had more challenges to get those green coins to get over great gear but theres not i would hope that you read this and take it into consideration great game consept <3
Holy pay to win are you for real? 
Just came back from the game again basically if I spent all the money possible i could just be good how fun get the best gear pathetic thought i found a good game very disappointing

*2026-07-22, version 2.20.775*

I’ve been struggling to find a game that doesn’t feel boring. I was stuck on a boss and I felt like a kid playing games again.  If you like street fight this is close to the same.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-13, version 2.20.775*
