I tried all fixes and noticed it’s just this game when in a battle ### 2/5 — Not a bad game. *2026-03-05, version 0.00.055* I really like the game. It feels like getting spammed with Ads. Too many Ads. Too many Ads. Too many Ads. Too many Ads. Too many Ads. Too many Ads. Too many Ads. Too many Ads. Too many Ads. Too many Ads. Too many Ads. ### 4/5 — Zu Zeit vertreiben in Ordnung *2026-01-27* Gutes Spiel für den Zeit vertreib was sehr Störend ist die viele Werbung für andere Spiele( sehr viel wird immer das gleiche Spiel angeworben) ### 2/5 — Werbung *2026-01-18* Tolles Spiel, aber: Nach jeder Runde Werbung (90s) Dann gibt es noch Banner-Werbung und für die Boni auch nochmal. Die Werbung nach der Runde kann man für 10€ wegkaufen, die Boni-Werbung nicht. Schade, wäre ein tolles Spiel ansonsten.. ### 1/5 — Bad commercial *2026-01-01, version 0.00.054* So much add and you’re phone is on fire just a few minutes playing ### 4/5 — Great game to many ads *2025-12-27* Watched more ads then played the game … games a blast ads suck ### 1/5 — Trop de pub et difficilement jouable *2025-12-26* C’était prometteur de retrouver l’ambiance de don’t starve. Cependant, le jeu rame et devient rapidement injouable, de plus il fait chauffer mon iphone (14 max pro). Enfin, l’achat de l’option no ads ne dispense pas de devoir visionner des pubs interminables pour pouvoir toucher le loot de base ou upgrader son arme pendant la partie (ce qui est indispensable si on veut jouer). Bref, une belle déception! ### 1/5 — ADS!!! Don't waste your time *2025-12-23, version 0.00.054* This game won’t even let you do anything without having to watch some of the longest ads I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s not even that good of a game. They force you to watch ads for literally every move you make. Even when it says 'free,' it’s not… ### 3/5 — Laaaagggs *2025-12-21, version 0.00.053* Similar to other reviews. Maybe the game needs an option to use less fine graphics to improve game lag. Good game, but I almost can’t stand to play it due to the lag. ### 1/5 — Literally awful *2025-12-14, version 0.00.052* You get stuck on everything you have to watch insanely long ads or pay ### 1/5 — Love the game, but don’t pay it does not remove ads?! *2025-12-10* I love this game and I love the company, I’ve played don’t starve on my PC forever. I would’ve given it five stars, but I paid for no ads and I still get ads. They need to fix this bug. I love supporting companies, but I still want to get what I paid for paid $10 and ads are still here. I’ve tried reporting through their bug fix sooooo many times, but no one’s reached out. Disappointing because I really like this company. ### 3/5 — Needs more content *2025-12-09* Enjoyed the game but I have an absolute excess of gold, needs more leveling capabilities and is buggy after about half hour of gameplay. Still it’s fun to play and some game hub stuff is fairly challenging again with that though nothing counts towards your daily other than kills… ### 1/5 — Great game, Poor lag early on *2025-12-07, version 0.00.051* This game has everything it needs to be great, except a game engine that can keep up with the renderings as enemies and powerups increase in numbers and speed. The first levels were great, but now the game can’t even keep up with the scaling. Fix asap! ### 1/5 — Loading issues *2025-12-07, version 0.00.051* Game won’t load past the first screen. ### 1/5 — Too much ad *2025-12-06, version 0.00.051* Ad ad ad ### 1/5 — Quảng cáo quá nhiều *2025-12-03, version 0.00.050* Quá nhiều quảng cáo, nên giảm bớt ### 1/5 — Troppa pubblicità *2025-11-27, version 0.00.050* É ingiocabile, per 2min di gioco ci saranno almeno 10min di pubblicità. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Extreme adds *2026-04-29, version 0.00.055* They trap you in long ads that you can’t skip and the game is buggy anyways ### 1/5 — Don’t purchase $10 pack *2026-04-09, version 0.00.055* The $10 ad free pack should remove needing to watch an ad for weapons. The only ads it shouldn’t remove is for double rewards. Too many bugs to play night mode. Glad I refunded my $10 and deleted the game. ### 1/5 — Paid for No Ads and Still Get Ads?? *2026-03-14* I started this game and thought it was cool. Five minutes in and I get ads every minute. Even the smallest rewards require an ad, I’ve spent more time watching ads than playing the actual game. It’s actually insane but I gave you guys the benefit of the doubt, I mean people have to make a profit somehow, whatever. So I went and bought the no ad bundle for $10, an insane price considering naturally it’s usually $5 or under, again, gave the benefit of the doubt. And I’m going through the game, decent enough and I get an Ad? You’re telling me I paid $10 to get rid of ads but it’s only forced ads??? So I can’t go through the actual gameplay without using up ad coupons and once I’m out of those I have to either buy more or play with the consistent ads. I gave you money, the least you can do is make the game enjoyable by getting rid of the ads when I pay for that. It’s stupid and screams greedy. ### 1/5 — No Ads should mean no ads *2026-02-22, version 0.00.055* You purchase “No Ads” for 9.99 and the keep showing you adds for everything. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-01-31, version 0.00.055* The first two times I played I was not forced to watch ads. Now every time I need something in the game or try to do something in the game, I have to watch another ad if you want to waste your time watching ads this is the game for you. ### 1/5 — Poor in app purchases *2026-01-17* So paid for the add removal, but in the small print it keeps the ads for the in game content. VERY POOR. It should remove all ads. Do not play the game as it’s packed full of these unremovable ads despite paying for it. ### 1/5 — Reklammmsss *2026-01-08, version 0.00.054* Oyun güzel ama reklamları izlemek ilerlemek için en büyük gereksinim başka türlü ilerleyemezsin pay to reklam ### 1/5 — laggy *2026-01-08, version 0.00.054* lags after stage 4 ### 1/5 — 1 out of 5 *2026-01-04* It’s a fun app love the art style and gameplay but it’s ad heavy even when you pay $14.99 to remove said ads they still pop up after awhile of playing and they won’t refund or help to fix said issue ### 1/5 — Scam app!!! *2026-01-01, version 0.00.054* I need my money back, i buy remove ads but it still show ads for play cost and there a lot of lagging while play. No customer contact for refund. I suggest u do not download this game, it’s terrible!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — More characters please! *2026-07-12, version 0.00.055* I would really love to see the Harley Quinn jester character back. ### 5/5 — Есть серьезный баг связанный с алмазами и коробками. *2026-01-07* Разработчики свяжитесь, тут не буду писать что за баг все начнут юзать его, скину инфу что не так. ### 5/5 — Cool game but idk *2025-10-17, version 0.00.045* I’m currently stuck on level four because my game keeps slowing down every time a herd of ghosts show up. It actually done it once on stage 3 during a boss fight. Is it my phone or does the game needs to be smoothed out a bit more?. ### 5/5 — Silent Forest Survive *2025-08-15, version 0.00.031* The game needs to load faster. ? ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-07-03* Honestly this game is perfect, not too many ads most are optional. Difficulty is just right and I love the silly brainrot inserts. I just hope for a big update soon so I can keep playing. I also usually don’t write reviews but I love their other games as well ### 5/5 — Progress was reset - fixed *2025-07-01, version 0.00.027* Played for a while and was grinding out last characters and relics and all progress was reset. Looks like they fixed that now :). ### 5/5 — More content *2025-06-30, version 0.00.025* Love the game. Needs more content quickly please ### 5/5 — Surprisingly entertaining *2025-06-30, version 0.00.025* I like this game as I’m allowed to design my character’s abilities on a simple level. When I reach a point I can make my weapons stronger or faster, maybe I heal quicker and many more ways to endure the next/ stronger wave of enemies. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2025-06-24, version 0.00.024* I can spend hours playing this game. ### 5/5 — Fun and Simple *2025-06-13, version 0.00.022* Among the games coming from this company, I can say this is the second best after endless castle. It’s simple and nicely creepy. Although it’s highlighted on the “simple” part, because there’s no more stages after the 12th. Still, I can see some updates here and there, so I’ll be looking forward to the game’s improvements in the future.
