How do i fix it? **Developer response:** sorry for the problem, please go to discord help us to fix the bug, we will give you compensation ### 1/5 — Welp *2022-07-13, version 1.0.14* I would love to try it, but it won’t get past the loading screen. Server is busy, apparently.. ### 1/5 — Can’t even play the game *2022-05-20, version 1.0.11* Sadge **Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the problem, we have fixed it ### 2/5 — Better than I expected edit: I lost my progress *2023-04-17* I downloaded this because I like the art style it it’s add wasn’t invasive like other mobile game ads and it doesn't cram ads down your throat. I enjoyed more than I expected to its cute and I like it. Edit: a recent update required me to make an account and when I was done all my progress was gone and I no longer have any reason to continue playing ### 2/5 — Was ok, update ruined it. *2022-10-31, version 1.0.21* It was a decent game, I had been playing for a few days and was making good progress. Then an update came out that bugged all the animations so the battles are just really boring to watch. This wouldn’t be a problem if you could do auto battles but oh yeah the update also made it so you have to pay for vip for auto battles. Got boring real fast after that. **Developer response:** Hello, the automatic battle at the beginning is because we have a two-day vip for level 20. The time is up. In addition, the animation effects may be turned off by you. ### 2/5 — server is busy *2022-05-19, version 1.0.11* Im honestly quite interested in the game however i cannot get into the game for some weird reason, hopefully this can be fixed soon. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the problem, we have fixed it ### 3/5 — cute but annoying *2023-06-18* i downloaded the game bc i thought it looked cute and fun but got annoyed over time from the constant “server connection” issues and whenever i tried to claim rewards from the carnival event id always get “server is busy! please try again later” i find no point in missions that i wouldnt even get the rewards for ### 3/5 — Server issues *2022-08-09, version 1.0.16* Having issues with a busy server when I CAN get in it’s a good time killer though ### 4/5 — Better than I expected *2023-01-18, version 1.0.25* I downloaded this because I like the art style it it’s add wasn’t invasive like other mobile game ads and it doesn't cram ads down your throat. I enjoyed more than I expected to its cute and I like it. ### 4/5 — Edited Review: FUN GAME! *2022-09-22, version 1.0.19* Edit: So the developers fixed the issues I mentioned below and added new features to the game as well. It is awesome. I can play for as long as I want and my phone doesn’t overheat. The lagging is gone. This is by far my favorite game! 😊😊😊 I love this game but it has some major issues. 1) It takes forever to open the game. 2) Lagging all the time: before playing a stage, after, when you go to draw cards, when you go to visit the Land section or Arena, and also when you make a purchase. 3) The lagging issue affects purchasing so bad that it will often say that the purchase was cancelled even though it also said the purchase went through. However, upon logging in the next time, it will say that I have an uncollected purchase and there it is. 4) After even just a few minutes (most of it done waaaiiiting forever for things to load) my phone gets burning hot and I have to close the app. This means I cannot play for very long. I really hope these issues can possibly be fixed. I love playing this game. I will keep checking to see if things are updated and then my review will be edited. **Developer response:** please contact us with discord(to steven), we want to solve the problem, but we need your help, thank you very much ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good Gameplay but super P2W *2023-01-30, version 1.0.25* I’ve played the game for a while and I have really enjoyed it. The only problem is that it’s very pay to win. I’m ok with that for the most part but don’t expect to be the top of anything unless your willing to pay a lot. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-11-02, version 1.0.21* Fun game. Great community. Very happy to have found this game. **Developer response:** Thank you very much. Enjoy the game! ### 5/5 — ONE THING. *2022-06-24, version 1.0.14* I love this game. It is so fun to get, fuse, and place units; BUT LET US PLAY AS ONE! If you could just add a button that would allow you to take control of one unit until it dies, it would be so fun. ### 5/5 — Hiii *2022-05-19, version 1.0.11* It looks fun but its not letting me play **Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the problem, we have fixed it ### 5/5 — My last review was resolved *2022-05-02, version 1.0.10* This developer helped my issue with being unable to play so quickly! Honestly pleasantly surprised they sent out an update and boom my game worked properly again! Thank you TAW :) **Developer response:** Sorry for this bug, we just fix it. You can enjoy now. ### 4/5 — good game *2022-07-16, version 1.0.14* liked it **Developer response:** Sorry, we didn't know what that illustration meant, it has been revised ### 4/5 — Fun game *2022-07-14, version 1.0.14* This is a pretty decent game. Super fun. Progression is pretty quick and easy and the mechanics are easy to learn. I did have one issue though: I finished my first set of newbie missions but it won’t let me claim the hero reward for it and I’ve close and reopened the game and it didn’t do anything so I can’t get anymore rewards from that. Other than that it’s pretty good. ### 4/5 — Ad problems *2022-06-16, version 1.0.13* A couple of ads are starting to not allow me to close them after viewing, resulting in me having to hard close the game. Hoping it can be resolved in a patch soon. The ad in question that keeps stalling is state of survival. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
