User reviews

Great lore but on thing wrong

The map felt copy and pasted and it leaned to heavily of terraria with a red evil biome and black sand the classic underground and a purple bricked dungeon with columns however the rest of the game was actually quite nice with an easy to pick up combat and cute sprites

This game needs more attention

It’s a lot of fun, and not too many ads, just one per level change which feels nicer than having to constantly watch ads for drops. The fighting system is a lot of fun, and the game has lots of fun little surprises that kept me playing for hours.

Not as shallow as it appears to be…

It is actually very fun! I tend to be overly critical of my games, and this one gives me everything I wanted out of Terraria without the building grind.

Decent game

It’s a quite decent game of its own kind, there really isn’t much out there similar to this.

Response from developer

Thank you for playing and for your review! Glad to hear you gave us a good rating!

nice game to kill time

its a nice game, just need some more update such as description on what item/equipment does. but its nice that when you die you can lose equipment so that you have to grind the equips again and dont get bored.
