### 1/5 — Abandoned Gem

*2026-08-16, version 7.18*

This game is a blast, but if I'm being honest its a massive shame that the dev just abandoned it entirely, cloud save doesn't work, I bought skins to support the dev..and they didn't come through. Crazy that this game is left running despite its state. Don't buy anything. Shame on dev for just running

### 1/5 — Intolerably Aggressive Monetisation

*2026-03-27, version 7.18*

There might have once been a decent game here, but it feels like the dev abandoned the game and turned monetisation all the way up on his way out. 

Unlocking every class would cost either £78 or countless hours of grinding gems and unstoppable ads.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-03-03, version 7.18*

This has become one of my favorite games, the mechanics are good. There are minor spelling mistakes, and the design of the game could be more interesting (with pixel art in the background for example) but overall I am completely addicted to the game :)

### 3/5 — It’s good but…

*2025-08-01, version 7.18*

Love the game, I purchased the ad removal for like 10 dollars and literally no change at all to the game. I will change to 5 stars when I get a refund.

### 4/5 — Love this game

*2025-04-30, version 7.18*

I’ve played this game for years.  My only complaint is that you can’t play music or a podcast or anything at the same time.  It seems like an easy fix.

### 5/5 — How is this game not more popular?

*2025-04-02, version 7.18*

Seriously!

### 3/5 — Why Christmas bundle purchase not go through

*2025-03-02, version 7.18*

I and several other people have purchased the ad removal pack ages ago but was never applied

### 5/5 — This guy

*2024-08-04, version 7.07*

So I had a pretty close run just using the knights where I was usually in single digits of health. I was at 3 hp and summoned king arthur and he summoned a dark knight using up would you guess it 3 hp. Great game though.

### 5/5 — Great Game. Purchase not received

*2024-03-25, version 7.06*

Love the game been playing it for a while. Bought the 25$ pack of gems and never got them tho.

### 1/5 — Hey!

*2024-03-16, version 7.06*

Could you please, just stop implementing new stuff and just put a restore purchase button.
