I still have 4 prizes left in the pyramid including the top prize after spending $150 on this single challenge alone. With 4 prizes left it requires me to pay $300 just to have a chance at getting the top prize, though the game is also skewed to almost never give it to you. Absolutely shameful from developers. 2 stars because the game without the greedy devs is actually not bad. ### 4/5 — Decent *2026-04-18, version 8.0* It’s a fairly ok game ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2025-12-03, version 7.0* Started a few days ago. It’s ok. Not at all what the videos show. ### 4/5 — Honestly Best Game But One BIG ISSUE *2025-11-09, version 7.0* I legit can’t play, it just says “server being maintained” everytime I launch an I can’t play. But besides for that w game but maybe a too many micro transactions… ### 2/5 — Ads *2025-11-07, version 7.0* All ads being 120 secs and unskippable are crazy. ### 2/5 — Forging cost *2025-10-28, version 7.0* I like the game but it’s missing the ability to increase forging cost. ### 3/5 — Нету русского *2025-08-22* Игра пойдет ну не хватает русского языка ### 4/5 — BUG *2025-07-18, version 6.0* Easy, fun game. But after playing for two weeks the « AD » feature doesn’t work. I’ve tried different servers, deleting the app and re-downloading. Still the same bug. Every time I try to get an item by clicking the “ad” I get an error. The error says “ad loading…” and it has been this way for the last couple days since the update. Unfortunate since I’ve spent about 50$ on the game so far and I’m about to just delete it since I’m unable to do my daily tasks ### 4/5 — ! *2025-06-29* Русского нет ### 1/5 — заброшена? *2025-03-13* игра год без обнов уже.. китайцы, алло? игра мертва? ### 2/5 — Literal scam *2025-03-08* Where do i begin. This game pulled me in and actually is fun for the first day or 2. Like any game i put in real time to give a good review and if i can sum it up, this game is a literal scam. Any ability to progress is hindered by a paywall, not just any paywall, the most overpriced paywall you can think of. This game is a blackhole for your wallet. I wouldnt waste your time on this game unless you make 150k a year. Most of the rewards are given in amount of 1 when you need hundreds and are only given by pay to win events which you will always lose. All the servers are dead, you cant chat with anyone, you cant switch either but every event is a competition with every server not your own. Customer support is awful, they demand screenshots of issues that clearly you wouldnt think of screenshotting and they dont refund you anything back nor make up for your misfortune. Incredible 300%-500% bonus deals are made up completely and not accurate either, it’s the same price as everything minus $5. All events offer no play time or benefit for free to play users as you need to spend money to participate. The worst thing i have seen is when they plaster chance rolls as for example “20% chance for this” it feels more like 1% for everything even 80-90% chances. i personally have never seen a coincidence of bad luck in this specific game far too long compared to many others. For my rating i give it a 2 star because it COULD be fun but it requires your bank info to have fun. In all honesty i think there could be a living soul on this game if prices were 80% cheaper ### 3/5 — Liked the game but paywall mechanics stopped me *2025-03-04, version 5.0* Main reason is there is an “AutoHunt feature” that can only be unlocked via paying. Otherwise, you literally have to sit there tapping endless amounts of animations to obtain gems. I can’t get behind feature lock like that. ### 1/5 — Dead Game *2025-02-21, version 5.0* It’s fun but I seems abandoned due to no updates in 4 months Update Down to one star for being dead and making other clones for the sake of micros and ads. 2025 Dead Game ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2025-02-13, version 5.0* I enjoy this game, however it takes an insanely long time to progress anything so it’s a bit discouraging ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-06-12* Highly Pay to Win. Gameplay is meh, not very satisfying. The higher you go the more the game tells you to empty your bank account to progress further. ### 1/5 — Servers *2026-01-22, version 8.0* Starts out strong. A decent grind. But servers die. Our server went from a 1000 or more to 150 in 2 weeks. Now in might have 30 still active across ever clan total. No messages in all chat. We have the only active guild with only 6 guys left. I message support 3 weeks ago they didn’t do anything. Everyone will quit so don’t spend your money on anything ### 1/5 — waste of time *2026-01-10, version 7.0* played for 1/2 year every day got top of leaderboards and now cannot log into my account. awful ### 1/5 — Донат *2025-12-29* Куча доната необходимого для прогресса, нет русского, маленький онлайн ### 1/5 — H *2025-12-23, version 7.0* It did’t let me log in ### 1/5 — Cannot Play *2025-11-23* Refuses to let me login in with Facebook, has no Guest play mode, and asks for my Apple account password if I try signing in with Apple. I DO NOT ENTER PRIVATE PASSWORDS IN APPS. ### 1/5 — Stopped working! *2025-11-08, version 7.0* I have been logged in to this game through Facebook since 2023, and now I get the Ulogin message SO MANY PLAYERS are getting. I have tried every suggestion a can find online, like clearing cache, logging out of Fb on all devices then deleting, reloading & signing back in on Fb, but I still get this ridiculous message and cannot access the game. Who is working on bugs if they can’t fix this? Maybe hire someone who can figure this out…. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2025-10-27, version 7.0* I’d give it negative stars if I could. The game opens up but as soon as I press start or whatever it says internet error… I’m at home with Wi-Fi on you dolts. ### 1/5 — Wont work *2025-08-26, version 7.0* I downloaded it linked my account and confirmed it was linked on my facebook. When i turn the game on it said ulogin and when i hit ok it took me back to connect my apple account and im not doing that. Seemed weird my facebook said its linked and the game wont work…….. ### 1/5 — Biggest P2W gap in history *2025-08-09* Iam lv 124 losing against lv 89 who spended 400$. Let that sink for a moment. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-20, version 8.0* I love this game but the only problem that I have was s when you forge new armor or weapons you can’t keep the original armor or weapon ### 5/5 — Fed up with notifications for premium content *2026-05-07* The Events feature re-displays notifications every time you restart the game. These are all behind a paywall and it takes a ton of tapping to get the indicator to go away. Those indicators should let you know when there’s something free. Not that there’s an opportunity to give them money. I’m so sick of this. The rest of the game seems pretty alight but I can’t get over this. I’ll gladly update my review if they change it. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-10-31, version 7.0* Good ### 5/5 — My Heart 😍💙 *2025-09-10, version 7.0* I love games that base off this kind of mechanic upgrading system! It’s so fun to mix and match builds!! Question: I’m very stats oriented and read heavily into all of it.. but I can’t find anywhere that shows my total power? Please let me know if I’m missing something 💙 ### 5/5 — Language *2025-02-12* Please German Language ### 5/5 — Ad is loading *2024-08-21* Game is very cool, but I cant watch the ad. “Ad is loading”. And can u add Russian language? ### 5/5 — Предложение *2024-06-23* Шла уже неделя игры, сама по себе игра интересная но есть проблема для получения бесплатных ресурсов нужен впн и добавит пожалуйста русский язык. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-05-26, version 5.0* Fun ### 5/5 — Xtffuy ex fxufufxudrxrzy best game ever *2024-05-05, version 5.0* I love the graphics and the bosses and stages it’s so cool ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-05-01, version 5.0* This game combines several elements from other games that I like --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
