### 2/5 — Forces you to watch adds. Opponents are AI.

*2026-08-20, version 3.4.1*

Gameplay feels predetermined. Win one lose one. Win one lose one. When you press “tap
to continue “ rather than watching an add it takes you to an ad anyway. I stop playing the game instead. You can see the “tap to contine” move because you’ve clicked on it and it takes you to an add. Please sort it out. It’s dishonest.

### 2/5 — Great game let down by constant adds

*2026-08-14, version 3.3.2*

The game itself is brilliant, however I’ve had to delete as I’m sicking of having to watch adds after every game, even when you don’t take the extra award the adds still come on.

### 2/5 — Weird things happening when you have more points

*2026-08-05, version 3.3.2*

So for the past couple matches pretty much all of them I've got to 3 points and started missing shots I clearly hit and then diving for no reason giving the opponent free points this only happens if I get much more points then them

### 2/5 — Un potentiel vite gâché

*2026-08-02*

Le jeu est au premier abord tres sympa et pas trop dur, ça reste sympa et bon enfant. 
Malheureusement, à partir de l’arrivé des boosts bonus, le jeu devient insupportable. Étant donné que c’est un immense paye to win, on tombe face à des adversaires avec des boosts extrêmement puissant, n’étant pas censé être débloqué à ce moment là du jeu. De ce fait, la majorité des matchs sont compliqués voir impossible face à des joueurs (sûrement des bots) qui font ce qu’ils veulent de vous.
Gagner des trophées devient mission quasi impossible alors que cela est nécessaire pour améliorer notre personnage.
En parlant d’amélioration du personnage, l’amélioration sur les statistiques semble n’avoir aucun impact sur notre joueur.
De plus, notre joueur a des comportements surprenants, se jetant parfois au sol alors qu’il est à côté du volant et ayant une vitesse de déplacement qui varie. Les coups sont également aléatoires. À des moments où c’est évident que le point ait gagné, il fait un coup tout pourri qui n’arrive jamais en vrai.
En définitive, il est nécessaire de payer pour s’améliorer sans pour autant en voir les effets.
C’est dommage pour un jeu qu’il y a beaucoup de potentiel.
Je n’ai pas fait mention des pubs, bien trop nombreuses afin de nous forcer à acheter le « no ads »

### 2/5 — Bots

*2026-07-31, version 3.3.2*

Good but bot skills excessive

### 2/5 — cashgrab

*2026-07-31, version 3.3.2*

this game would be so much better if there wasn’t adds every round you try to play it makes me just want to stop playing and just do something else also its really pay to win you get a set amount of points to put in each ability and its frustrating when a dude w higher stats just wins automatically

### 3/5 — Adds

*2026-07-30, version 3.3.2*

Fun game but adds make it unbearable to play for more then 5 matches. whenever you click the no add option you get one anyways.

### 4/5 — 개선이 필요하다고 생각합니다

*2026-07-23*

게임자체는 정말 재미있고 즐겁게 플레이하고있습니다. 딱 하나 불만이 있다면 가방 개봉시간이 터무니없게 길다고 생각합니다. 일반 가방을 개봉하는데 3시간이나 걸린다는게 말이 된다고 생각하시나요? 게임을 세판 할때마다 가방을 주는데 일반가방으로 인벤토리가 가득 차있어서 더 높은 등급의 가방을 어쩔수없이 버리는 경우가 너무 많이 발생합니다. 그래서 보석을 사용하게 되는 상황또한 빈번히 발생되고요. 보석 현질을 유도하시려는건진 모르겠지만, 최소한 인벤토리에서 유저가 원하는대로 낮은 등급의 가방을 버릴수 있게라도 해주시면 좋겠습니다. 진심으로 일반가방이 3시간은 너무너무 깁니다…최대 1시간이 맞지 않나 생각해요. 제발 가방 개봉시 걸리는 시간을 최대한 단축 시켜주시거나, 가방 인벤토리를 유저가 마음대로 비울수있게 해주세요.

### 4/5 — Really good concept and fun gameplay

*2026-07-23, version 3.3.2*

This game is so fun and it’s well made for a mobile game. This would be a 5/5 but there’s one problem…

There’s way too much bots! Half the time the matchmaking will give you a bot with an obvious username like only “Sarah” or “Mike”. Playing bots is no fun because 80% of the time they’re designed to absolutely destroy you. I was winning 4-0 then lost 4-5 because the bot decided to turn up the difficulty. Most bots beat me 5-3 but there’s always a few bots that are easy so you beat them 5-0.

Please stop using bots, use real people, it’s fine if there’s a matchmaking queue as long as we play real people. Playing bots ruins the competitive element and is less rewarding when you win = less fun.

### 3/5 — I guess

*2026-07-20, version 3.3.2*

It’s Alr, but is not great . Very fun but ads are annoying and also gets really hard after a while. Don’t really recommend, only if u like playing badminton in real life then yeah

### 1/5 — Ad spamming

*2026-07-20, version 3.3.2*

Even though I click continue (no ad) after each game, it still show me ads

### 3/5 — Good game BUT

*2026-07-15, version 3.3.2*

This is a good game to pass the time, useful that it doesn’t require WiFi too. The only issue I have is that sometimes I start the process of opening the bags (like a 3,6 or 9 hour bag) when I then come back to the game after the allotted time, the countdown for the bag opening appears to have been cancelled and no bag is available to open. meaning it’s pointless playing more until a bag slot is free which is very frustrating.

### 1/5 — 걍 롱서브 하나면 끝나는게임 할 가치가 없는 게임

*2026-07-10*

이딴 게임 만들거면 돈벌생각부터 하지말고 게임이나 좀 잘 만들어라

### 2/5 — Great game but……

*2026-07-09, version 3.3.2*

I just downloaded this game and really like it but what bugged me was I was on a 5 game win streak and haven’t had a single lost but after my 7th win my win streak disappeared. So idk if it’s just me but that didn’t sit right with me

### 2/5 — Too many Ads, and not real players

*2026-07-09, version 3.3.2*

Never seen a game with this much Ads. And other gamers seems not real player. Not a real online game

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Fantastic Game, but too many adds suck the joy out of it!

*2026-08-19, version 3.4.1*

The game is actually good, has good progress levels and hooks you into it. But even when I select, No Ads and continue it still plays an adv mandatorily, which is quite annoying. Needs to be fixed!

### 1/5 — No balance

*2026-08-18, version 3.3.2*

Никакого баланса в игре, прокачка перса номинальная, твой герой бьет слабее с огромной разницей в силе с врагом в твою сторону, враг летает по корту без остановки и берет то, что не должен брать, твой же перс спотыкается на ровном месте. Про рандомные ауты я вообще молчу. Никак не влияет то, куда ты свапаешь на вероятность фола, иногда залетало так, что бомбить начинает. В общем помойка с донатом, неравными противниками и подкруткой без возможности что либо сделать для победы

### 1/5 — Overpowered ai

*2026-08-10, version 3.3.2*

go suck my dick with that ai

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-08-06, version 3.3.2*

Horrible experience

### 1/5 — Horrid

*2026-08-05, version 3.3.2*

Man don’t you just love going against people with a hundred more trophies than you

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-08-04, version 3.3.2*

So many ads and it’s not fun when all you do is lose there is no skill and I feel it’s just luck on where you swipe

### 1/5 — Low rate

*2026-07-28, version 3.3.2*

This game to terrible as when you happen to win a set it awards maybe 4 or 5 points and when you lose you get a loss of  35 or 40 points. This is utterly stupid to have a point system like that. Also when you hit the same spot several times it is inconsistent and it stupid to buy your levels , as that takes away from the value of the game. Others to numerous to mention. Lowest review for this awful game app.

### 1/5 — Pay To Win

*2026-07-27, version 3.3.2*

You’ll keep losing unless you pay to win after you complete the first two stages you constantly get bombarded with adds and get matched up with opponents way more advanced than you.

### 1/5 — Pub scam

*2026-07-25, version 3.3.2*

Full of ads

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-22, version 3.3.2*

Infected with Ads

### 5/5 — Love Badminton

*2026-08-03, version 3.3.2*

### 5/5 — 하 진짜

*2026-08-02*

더러워서 못 해먹겠네 그냥 과금하라고 만든 게임임 하지 마세요 그냥 경기 한번 끝날 때마다 광고 한 개씩 나오는 거 속 터지고요 광고 안나오는거 현질했는데 준다는 보석은 안주고.. 레벨 올라가면 올라갈수록 템 장착이라 기본적인 설정 올린 사람들 넘쳐나는데 아니 가방 하나 까는데 세 시간 걸리면서 이러자면 어쩌자는 거임 그리고 판정이 왜 이래? 인 아웃 기준을 모르겠다 진짜 그냥 아주 개발자 마음대로 이랬다 저랬다 재밌으세요? 소비자 놀려먹으니까? 똑같이 선 닿아도 어떤 건 인 어떤 건 아웃 뭐 어쩌자는 거임? 배드민턴 경기 규칙을 숙지 안하시고 게임을 만드신건가요? 그리고 한번 질 때마다 가차 없이 무슨 이겼을 때 보다 10배 정도 개수의 트로피를 뺏어감 한 번질 때마다 진이 빠짐 하 트로피 올라가면 올라갈수록 나보다 실력 훨씬 높은 ai랑 매치시켜서 또 트로피 낮추고.. 소비자 심리이용해서 게임 플레이 시간 늘리고 돈 버시고 싶으신건 알겠는데 하.. 재미로 하는데 스트레스만 얻어가네요.. The most infuriating game in the world. If you run a game business like this, you won’t make much money. Do not use consumer.

### 5/5 — Too kuch ads

*2026-07-20, version 3.3.2*

TOO MUCH ADS EVEN IF WE SKIP ADS

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2026-07-09, version 3.3.2*

It’s very interesting and addicting, I love this game

### 5/5 — Game bugged

*2026-06-27, version 3.3.1*

I have played this game for like 4 hours straight in a night. Spent money on it and now when I try to load it up it loads for so long dude I can't get back into the game someone help pls.

### 5/5 — game against people

*2026-06-18, version 3.3.1*

i like the aspect of being able to play against other friends but i dislike how laggy and unreliable it is and ive tried to play the local one where its on same wifi and it doesnt work at all

### 5/5 — That boi got cucked

*2026-05-15, version 3.3.1*

Unreal.

### 5/5 — Great Badminton Game but need little improvement

*2026-05-08, version 3.3.1*

This is great game and fun to play. You can get ads removed by paying small fees. Upgrading stats don’t make huge difference as you should know how to play. I would have recommended developers to give importance to having strong stats for each player and game play should differ with that

### 5/5 — Mental

*2026-04-29, version 3.3.1*
