Lousy with ads

Nearly impossible to get into any kind of rhythm with this game. Seems the developers were so busy incorporating ads, they forgot to make it fun or engaging.

Impossible to beat without a lot of upgrades

It’s just like a lot of these types of games each level is impossible to beat without doing a lot of weapons and character upgrades. I don’t recommend this to anyone!

Bring your wallet!

This is a game built for the wealthy. It was already steep — $5,000 to build a mid-level account, which is an obscene price of admission for a mobile game. Then the August 2026 update gutted the handful of free rewards that gave free-to-play players any foothold at all. Those small drops weren’t generosity; they were the bare minimum resources needed to actually play. Now they’re gone.

What’s left is a paywall with a game attached. Want to beat a level? Pay them. Want to beat the next one? Pay them again. The loop isn’t “play, improve, progress” — it’s “spend, spend, spend.”

And the price doubled. That mid-level account is now a $10,000 climb. Here’s the part that stings the most: even after you spend it, you will never catch the long-term players who earned their accounts back when the game still gave something back. You’re paying five figures for permanent second place.

Don’t kid yourself about the competitive side, either. Guild Wars is decided before it starts — you are not beating Weir, NFG, or Odyssey, and they’re only a few of them. Arena and Race are the same story: those players will simply outspend you, from accounts you already couldn’t catch. Every competitive mode in this game is a wallet-measuring contest with a leaderboard attached.

If you’re rich and you want a pretty timesink, come on in — you’ll have a fine time buying your way toward a top spot you still won’t reach.

If you’re not, save yourself the stress and the money. There are dozens of games out there that treat free-to-play players as real players instead of unpaid scenery. Go find one of those. The August 2026 update made it very clear you’re not welcome here unless your wallet is.

Update, November, 2026

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

APPLE will not protect you or refund anything either.

Report Apple to BBB

They are aware and joining in the scam.

Constant lag makes the game unplayable

Every time I try to play this game, it causes my phone to overheat and lag, making it virtually impossible to play properly. I have an iPhone 13 and I’ve tried everything from switching off the Apple glass settings, closing background apps, etc. and nothing works. It’s a shame because it’s a great game otherwise but it just doesn’t work

I hate the preview

The preview only shows the worst way to play the game the video sucks

Misleading

You will be asked if you want to watch an ad at the end of each round. At first you can say no thanks and continue playing. After a small amount of progression it does not matter. You will get a prompt that says you can get extra points for watching an ad or say “no thanks” but still have to watch ads for nothing anyway.

Nothing like the demo

This game makes no sense and the 3 minutes ads don’t help. All these game show one thing and do another. Useless

This game sucks

You can’t get past the first round it sucks

Joshua

Fun! And it made me very happy when I was sad.👍
I would recommend it’s very fun just get to a high-level😎

Literally Pay to Play!

Why are you limiting the amount of times you can play your game in a day? I know - because you’re greedy and you want people to have to pay to play! Don’t bother wasting your time with this one guys.

Paywall

Hit a certain level, only way through is to pay. Spammy ad-ware. Beware.

Says no WiFi but can’t play without

To many adds and can’t play without WiFi even though it says in add.

Money for nothing

Very unstable platform. Playing on an Iphone13 and it crashes continuously. I am deleting and restoring the app constantly to try to prevent crashing. Don’t be fooled by the play for free. You won’t progress at all if you’re not spending money.

Weak

The game has alot of potential, but with it taking one hour per energy to play its a big swing and miss. This is the type of game that shouldnt even have the energy system. I guess the developers don't want people to progress.

Good at first!

They let you play a lot at first then if you don’t pay for stuff. You get to the point you can only play for free once an hour! Not worth it!! Only game I have that you have to watch more ads than playing the game!

Sound??

The games fun albeit kinda on rails kinda predetermined who long it takes to beat an era BIGGEST ISSUE Y TF IS THERE NO SOUND????

Update: so after doing a bit of digging, I just learned that this game was intentionally released with no sound first off how did this even get through Apple certification?secondly dev’s your priorities are severely out of whack. you thought it would be better to release an update introducing mounts then put sound in your game? that is baffling. do you understand how jarring it is to go from playing a game with no sound to be blasted with sound during your ad at the end of every dmn level. then go back to no sound. just learning that makes me wanna quit the game.and that sucks cause I like the game

NOT the game from the ad

This is not the same game you see if the ads. Fun at first but gets repetitive, two stars for the misleading ad.

Terrible

It’s a fun game, but really stupid that you have to pay to keep playing. It’s so dumb that a “free” game makes you pay to play more levels. Do not get.

Sucks

Never loads just hangs and nothing

Boring

Nothing like the ad. Very slow and boring.
