I have been playing this game for years. In order to progress you will have to play levels over and watch ads. Watching ads is time consuming but rewarding at times. With that being said I’m very disappointed that the game is being removed and my progress will be wiped. I’ve been playing for years and still haven’t completed the highest eatery of my sword. I’ve watched hundreds of boring ads and that is time I will never get back. It could at least be able to keep my progress. ### 3/5 — Beware, there are ads *2023-07-14* If you are looking for a Portrait mobile game to waste some time with and you’re not really too concerned about there being occasional advert this game genuinely is a good time. However, if you are looking for a game that you can sync a little bit of time into while you’re waiting at the DMV or you’re in line for a big movie or something like that the odds can start to get pretty annoying by myself and the type of person that likes to get really into their mobile games the ads themselves make this title a no go for me **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Ads are a source to keep the game free for players, we would love a 5-star review if you have enjoyed the game despite the ads. If there are any issues that we can help, do reach out to us at sv_support@potatoplay.com. ### 1/5 — ALL THE FIVE STAR REVIEWS ARE FAKE *2023-04-10* Please don’t actually waste your time with this ad infested, impossible-to-beat trash heap of a game. Even if you could sit through all the pay to win nonsense constantly being thrown in your face and even if you spent $100 and got to power level 80k you still couldn’t beat stage 15 which has a “RECOMMENDED” power level of 27,400. And to the Pathetic developer who made this garbage and continues to add pathetic $20 ptw costumes: Get a life, find anything to do with it other than waste good peoples’ times. You lowlife! ### 3/5 — Ads ruin it *2023-02-13, version 1.3.4* Its a good game pretty fun game levels aren’t not too gear reliant but the ads ruin it you get ads while in the middle of a round and sometimes you get a ad then the cat comes up and ask you to watch a ad for a buff. Game would be 10/10 in my opinion if it wasn’t for ads ### 1/5 — So many ads the game is almost unplayable *2022-12-30, version 1.3.3* All I wanted was to play this game on my flight but the developer is so greedy they make the game unplayable if you don’t have an internet connection despite it being a lightweight game that has literally zero online features. Wouldn’t waste your time trying it out there’s much better games out there ### 3/5 — Decent game, too many ads *2022-12-11, version 1.3.2* Fun game with a good variety of things to do despite the simple concept, but man, everything involves watching an ad. I could sort of forgive watching ads for rewards (even though most of the rewards aren't that good) but there are even ads after completing stages and daily stages are limited by a time gate that, you guessed it, requires you to watch an ad to skip. Basically this means dailies take literally hours unless you want to watch like 10 ads. Still giving it 3 stars since the concept is solid but I've got way better stuff to do than watch like 10 minutes+ of ads to do my daily playing. ### 1/5 — Level 15, good luck! *2022-12-05, version 1.3.2* I’ve never hated a game as much as this, for maybe 2 years I still haven’t passed level 15. I’d be curious how many people have, if so, how? I’m done trying or giving any money to them. Deleted once and for all and never looking back. Curious now too how long until their other games become like this. Lesson learned, get stuck? Don’t spend money. Bye! ### 5/5 — Limitation of Difficulty *2022-10-03, version 1.3.1* The game is wonderful all around what can I say, the design, effects, the sound and the art. I love it. I want to mention, we do need new levels of difficulty though, t gold dungeon where you smash down statues, you can not go above level 10 and I am finishing level 10 with 15-20 seconds to spare at this point. The game needs new quests and new difficulty for the existing ones, I appreciate the whole team a whole bunch! I hope you take a look at what I mentioned as well!! Have a wonderful day friends! ### 1/5 — Too difficult to play *2022-08-27, version 1.3.0* It’s absurd how difficult some of these levels are. No matter how strong you think you are these levels are just too ridiculous to beat. I’m over 50,000 but struggling with 14,000 levels. Just horrible gameplay, don’t waste your time. ### 3/5 — It's fun. REALLY fun. Please leave me alone *2022-07-27, version 1.2.7* The game is super fun and very in depth The animations are great and it pulls off exactly what it wants to be almost flawlessly. Super in depth with character customization, upgrades, and classical arcade beat em up through and through. The enemies are fun to beat, and the controls are SUPER intuitive. Very clever job in order to keep the game one touch. That being said, there are WAY too many things that stop your progress that are supposed to be rewards. The cat interrupts you sometimes 3 separate time just the that you can get the next wave of enemies. Not only this, but I do not want the upgrades it is offering me. It makes the game too easy. It breaks the flow of gameplay and makes the game super unfun to continue ## Frequently asked questions about Sword Hunter ### What is Sword Hunter?
