This week it won’t work. **Developer response:** Hello. We are very sorry about the stability issues you're experiencing. Our team is aware of this problem and is working hard to release a fix in our next update. Please make sure to keep your app updated. We appreciate your patience. ### 2/5 — Ryoku *2025-01-25, version 1.4.3* I love the game though l have played it before from the childhood ### 4/5 — Need New update *2024-12-26* We need a new update on the game and still waiting for the new dungeon level ASAP ### 2/5 — Why isn’t it working *2024-06-19* So I’ve downloaded the game since and it just shows loading but never moves …. What’s the reason for this? ### 5/5 — Лучшая игра на мобильные *2023-11-04, version 1.1.0* Блин, шикарный потенциал! Буду говорить только о минусах, очень надеюсь сделают. 1. В игре просто лютейшее количество багов. После воскрешения рекламой нельзя двигаться. Во время боя может застыть моделька героя, поможет только перезапуск. Марасит кнопка стелса, не появляется, а без нее - мы не убиваем стелсом. 2. Пожалуйста, сделайте адекватный сюжет и уж переведите игру полностью. Что это такое? Хороший мир, но как вы им воспользовались? Убей 3 жирный барана с молоточками и пройдешь в следующую локацию. Вееееееесь сюжет помещается в примерно 2-3 полноценный квеста. Позор( 3. Боевая система. Безумно скудное улучшение. Почему только занудные усиление параметров?? Сделайте древо навыков с интересными способностями. У оружий есть навыки, круто. Но до безумия мало, играбельны от силы 2. Оба ужасные в плане долгой подготовке перед ударном, сбивается из анимация. Сделайте их больше и проработайте. 4. Мало костюмов, очень мало! Мало квестов. Сделайте обычный народ, пару нпс которые дают разнообразные задания, их придется искать в разных зданиях, некоторые будут давать эксклюзивные задания за которые мы будем получать особый меч который нигде не найдешь с специальный эффектом и броню которая дает плюс к параметрам. 5. Поменяйте аву и картинки, отталкивают игроков, выглядят ненадежно. Игра куда лучше чем себя презентует. ### 2/5 — A good game ruined *2023-10-27* Why you chose release this game with Advertisements? The game is good so you could’ve just simply charged some one time amount and built a reputation, but no you completely ruined the chance ☹️ ### 5/5 — THIS *2023-08-30* …Is the baddest rpg, I have ever seen. The graphics sucks (it’s blocky an poly) and all the pictures at the start are fake. BUT YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE SO 5 STARS YOLO ### 5/5 — Very very good game *2023-08-14* The game is good and very interesting keep up the good work But I suggest you should let ryuko use archer and let it make friends and some challenge so it will not be only story we gonna play for I have played the game like almost 8 times now both hard and easy very very good game keep it up👍👍💯 ### 2/5 — Broken *2023-06-21* Rest is impossible at the shrine, when you try to spend 50 energy to rest - only sound is there and no effect, energy untouched, health doesn’t restore and enemies don’t respawn. In each place where game offers you to watch Ad to earn some rewards/resets/time-skips all you receive is message that there are NO ADS to watch. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — i’m shocked *2025-09-28* I couldn’t even make it through the tutorial cause the slider button doesn’t work i closed the app out many times. i think it’s sad that i can’t make it past the tutorial. ### 1/5 — Uninstalled in 2min *2025-09-05* Ads are fine but long ad not ok. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-08-06* Trying to convert the something on the game and not working Try to fix that!! ### 1/5 — Frustrating game *2025-06-24* The stealth mechanic is incredibly bad. Enemies can detect you from extremely far away instantly. Sometimes the backstabs don’t even register and I get one shot by those Lvl 100 demons… The combat feels weird and clunky. Whenever you try to fight a group of enemies, getting hit once puts you into a loop of being damaged. And the game has this really sudden difficulty spike within the later stages that is annoying. It’s really easy to go out of bounds, and sometimes you can accidentally go out of bounds. If you run into the vase at the right angle, and you can collide with one of the vase fragments then you can jump over rails. Another method of going out of bounds uses an enemy. Dodge at the right time, and when dashing into them you can glitch off the rails. I wish that there was no limit to the item gathering and that dying is less punishing. ### 1/5 — Nice *2023-12-31, version 1.3.0* Music is nice background nice nice nice ### 1/5 — The game can’t open *2023-11-19, version 1.1.0* Please fix it ASAP I want to play it now ### 1/5 — Collguy *2023-08-01, version 1.0.6* Fck the tutorial ### 1/5 — Video buffer *2023-06-11* Waste of time ### 1/5 — Not a good start *2022-11-21* Firstly I bought the duel katana and at the in game store and it’s not there even thought it took my coins!!! Then I try and find a contact me section so I can talk to the game makers about getting my katans but can not find any such page or area??????????????????? ### 1/5 — piece of garbage *2022-06-30, version 1.0.1* tutorial is all what you can play FIX THIS YOU HAVE NOT FIXXED THIS YET YOU BAD DEV ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sammy *2026-04-09, version 1.6.1* Interesting game ℹ love it ❤️🥹 ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-01-22* This game is fun to play and works well.
