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

*2026-07-13, version 1.1.7*

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.

### 2/5 — Почему так😡?

*2026-05-24*

Хотел просто поиграть, а там проверка облачного сохранения бесконечная 
Играть не дают я уже 30 минут жду пока она загрузится

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2026-04-19, version 1.1.7*

7/10.

### 3/5 — Good game but bugged and with limitations.

*2025-11-14, version 1.1.7*

The game adds variety with random generation each 
Playthrough. The player level gives minimal improvement after level 25. The only permanent aspect to improve in each run is the three rune slots. However, there is a maximum level of 6 for each rune. You cannot fuse these max level runes to get a combination rune either. In addition, there is a high chance of fused runes to become junk. You can own a maximum of 1000 runes. Honestly, that is nowhere enough to keep fusing runes. Also, when playing, the game stutters and forcibly closes somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 of the game. If there was a method to optionally increase the chance of a specific outcome of  rune fusion, and inventory was increased, the game would be worth spending money on.

### 2/5 — Fraco

*2025-10-19*

Bem mais ou menos

### 3/5 — 手需要不斷點擊 很吃力

*2025-10-12, version 1.1.7*

能不能設定自選 要不要緒力攻擊 或者是可以按住連發…
我知道弓箭手可以
但總不能要玩家只玩弓箭手吧⋯⋯

### 4/5 — Порада

*2025-09-15, version 1.1.7*

Дуже цікава і добре продумана гра , але після виконання випробування коли на рівні гравця закриває  стіною скриня часто зʼявляється за стіною і може зʼявитись за межами карти через що не можна забрати нагороду.

### 3/5 — AMAZING!!! 1 Flaw tho…

*2025-08-19, version 1.1.7*

One of my fave top down rouge-like rpg’s. Only problem is this game require internet…. No one really likes games that force you to use internet to play. Please remove that. It’s a massively goofy move to make.

### 4/5 — good but shot game

*2025-07-23, version 1.1.7*

Need more new map for more hard game.
And hero lock on 1 if play free.
I strong for clear all map so ez.So boring

### 3/5 — Персонажи только за Донат

*2025-06-23*

Игра интересная, прошел подземелье на нормальной сложности раза с 3-4, огорчило что ни одного персонажа без доната не открыть.. надеюсь эту систему поменяют, а так на разок игра только

### 3/5 — 3 за донат, удалил игру

*2025-06-22*

1 персонаж доступен в игре ? Вы серьёзно ? Игра, геймплей топ, все остальное платное, и не открыть. Я бы играл в эту игру, если бы не донат.

### 1/5 — Симулятор ожидания

*2026-04-13*

Хороший симулятор ожидания проверки облачного сохранения, пол часа смотрел в экран

### 1/5 — Bug

*2026-04-04*

Bonjour, le jeu ne fonctionne pas au démarrage

### 1/5 — Easy fix

*2026-03-27, version 1.1.7*

The evade button is too small with an inconsistent hitbox to activate it. Also there are times I have hit evade and I still get hit with an attack and die and it shows the evade button on cooldown like it’s been activated but there’s no evade. And you could explain how abilities work better. Like with Yun, what does it mean to “retract” his weapon? It’s mentioned in ability books but in no other place does it explain what this means and how to do it. Overall a great game but frustrating in that the things that do suck about it seem so simple to fix. Oh right, fix your RNG settings, I’ve gotten 25 weapon drops in a level and 2 skill books, what fun is that? I’ll tell you, it’s no fun. It makes the game lame and all you have to do is reduce the number of weapon drops… do you people ever pay someone to play your game before you release it to tell you what’s wrong with it?

### 1/5 — FALSE ADVERTISING

*2025-12-27, version 1.1.7*

They straight up LIE to you about “choose your hero”, you play exclusively as a warrior unless you spend money. Real shady stuff, steer clear of this game

### 1/5 — Обновление

*2025-11-03*

Когда-нибудь будет обновление игры,или деньги на персонажей потрачены зря ?

### 1/5 — Хорошо, но извините

*2025-08-04*

Бесплатная игр с грубо говоря одним персом, другие персы стоят 449 рублей, ток один, а их там несколько, кроме одной, за 99 рублей лучница, управление хуже чем остальных играх, почему не могли сделать также как в остальных ваших играх ? Тот же other words управление отличное, почему же тут надо было его делать ужасно, один рыцарь Артур из 10 сорян но заплатите чтобы открыть доп оценку

### 5/5 — Better than soul knight

*2026-05-28, version 1.1.7*

This game… is way better than I expected♥️

### 5/5 — Incredibly fun!

*2026-03-07, version 1.1.7*

First 5 minutes having played this game and I’m already having a blast, mainly cause its unique. Could use a bit of tweaking but overall this is a solid game

### 5/5 — 재미짐

*2026-03-02*

무조건 다운로드 초강추

### 5/5 — Grossly underrated

*2026-01-23, version 1.1.7*

This game is a fantastic execution of rogue like elements in a top down hack n’ slash combat style. No hand holding, brutally hard, and brilliantly fun gameplay. A must play give it a try

### 5/5 — かなり面白いと思う。

*2026-01-12*

たまに思い出した様に戻ってきます笑。ちょこちょこアップデートしてもらえると嬉しいです。

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2025-11-09, version 1.1.7*

Should add more multiplayer mode to play with frined

### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-10-27, version 1.1.7*

It’s a really great game, i love it but i did notice one thing i dont know if its a bug or not but if theres two rooms/halls really close to each other you can attack the enemies through the walls. But over all it’s a really cool game and i think that there should be an infinite mode where the dungeon is randomized, that would be really cool.

### 5/5 — I recommend people download worldwide

*2025-10-16, version 1.1.7*

I recommend good  game and need more updates the app and good day

### 5/5 — Paid $6 got half the dlc, not bad at all

*2025-09-21, version 1.1.7*

Free game, doesn’t ask you to pay. To unlock other characters it does but makes sense, this is a good HADES filler. Give it a chance, really fun

### 5/5 — 갓겜

*2025-05-17*

컨텐츠만 좀더 있으면 좋겠네요 퀘스트 마을 식의.. 몰입도가 너무 훌륭합니다
