### 1/5 — ip 7+

*2019-08-04, version 1.31.13*

กดไม่ติด

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2019-08-03, version 1.31.13*

Cannot move and attack

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-10-30, version 1.31.13*

During the first tutorial mission, you tap to go over to the enemy, tap to attack them, and then on your second turn nothing works. Can’t tap to move, to attack, or do anything but pass the turn until you die, sending you back to the main menu and telling you to do the mission again. Tried reloading the game, tried re-installing the game, nothing. Fix it so it’s playable

### 1/5 — Not good

*2018-08-08, version 1.31.13*

I saw this game from my friend and decided to try it out since I love this kind of games but the controls of the game is unusable. I can't walk nor attack my enemies since it's very difficult to select them. I really hope that you can give solution to this.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2017-11-09, version 1.31.13*

The fame control is bad . Any idea to fix

### 1/5 — Tutorial bug

*2017-09-21, version 1.31.13*

Would love to play but there is a bug in the tutorial that prevents me from attacking the monster a second time.  Hence i cant play, but i really the art style and it looks like it could be a fun srpg.

### 1/5 — Don't let the app cover fool you

*2016-02-02, version 1.23*

You know how you judge an app by its cover sometimes well this is one of those times. I thought this game was going to be good then I download it and it's trash so don't get it lol

### 1/5 — Falls short

*2016-01-03, version 1.23*

The game has a charming gameplay style however many factors make playing it incredibly annoying. Notably the game has bad input requiring you to mash to make single moves. Units are not unique in any sense they are just carbon copies with differing stats that are randomly decided. The chance of gaining super rares is just as if not worse than some games similar of unit collecting only the game has no online features. Every unit has the same boring idle animation. The dialogue is incredibly lackluster due to the lack of important unique characters. The one feature that was truly appealing was the method in which the daily rewards were done, however this doesn't make the game anymore enjoyable.

### 1/5 — Cb lvl again

*2015-03-23, version 1.23*

Ben voilà le jeu est excellent mais lvl 13-14 faut sortir la cb pour avancer .... De l'arnaque quoi ....

### 1/5 — Buggy game, can't be beat without spending hundreds of dollars.

*2014-11-01, version 1.23*

The whole game is essentially about getting gems, which become increasingly difficult to get, and impossible to acquire at the higher levels.  Of course you can buy gems, but even then the system for cashing the gems in for upgrades is rigged against you. This in itself is a pair of problems, but adding to the problem is some of the levels are broke and don't even give you the gems.  Some levels require you to beat the "second wave" then you'll get your reward gems, but when you complete the level that way, the game displays some error message for a half a second then kicks you back to the main menu screen... They don't seem to be releasing the patch to fix this either. You can email them and they won't respond, so there is essentially no support system. Do yourself a favor and skip this game, and don't bother playing anything else from this studio.

Daily reward is interesting. Stay on long enough & get a SSR character, bunch of gems/gold, and lvl25 (max?) gear.
There's 30 spots & u can see what you're getn next. Initially it's 10min each but goes up
