### 1/5 — Fails to Launch

*2026-08-08, version 1.1.7*

Fails to launch and throws exception checking cloud saves. Cannot recover.

### 3/5 — Amazing game, but every character is locked behind a paywall

*2026-07-13*

I want to rate this game 5 starts because it’s so fun and well made for a free game, but the fact that there isn’t a single character you can unlock unless you play for 30 days for the token things is not good. I understand needing to make money, but to have every character cost money is just lame. I would consider spending money if there was just a big discounted pack to purchase every hero instead of having to get coins. Until then, my review stands at 3 stars.
