### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-06-21*

Solid

### 5/5 — Tow

*2025-12-11, version 1.4.14*

Great time sink.  Impossible is… pretty close I think.  Wouldn’t know, haven’t quite beaten it.

### 4/5 — Cool game

*2025-12-07*

Cool game, the fun in it to me is the combinations of possibilities. You guys still planning on making more scenarios or more traits? It's been a while and I was hoping for some.

### 5/5 — 굿

*2025-09-29*

재밌고 좋은 서바이벌느낌?의 게임입니다 계속 선택하며 싸우고 단계가 나눠져 있는게 제 승부욕을 자극합니다.다이아 모으는게 어려워서 캐릭터를 골라서 하고 싶어도 못합니다 현질을 해야지 단기간에 바꿀수 있는거 같습니다,물론 광고를 보고 한 30일 정도 보면 되지 않을까요? 근데 확실히 조금 더 싸게 캐릭터를 바꿀수 있으면 좋을거 같네요 무료면 더 좋고요! 장점을 더 말해보자면 시간가는줄 모르고 능력 스킬 등등을 선택하며 캐릭터를 강화할수 있단겁니다.다크 판타지 느낌이 절 미치게 합니다 ㅎㅎ 쨋든 너무너무너무 재밌고 광기에 차서 이걸 백년 하라면 할수 있을거 같네요 캐릭터를 바꿔서 못하는건 아쉽지만 뭐 별 다를건 없겠죠. 재밌으니까 함 해보세요 약간 모험가 이야기 느낌입니다 재밌어요.

### 5/5 — Very good!

*2025-08-10, version 1.4.14*

Difficult, immersive and doesn’t block content. It’s better than nearly all other similar games. 9/10

### 5/5 — 몰입감 쩔고 캐릭터 일러스트도 너무 좋은데

*2025-08-03*

연습모드 전스테이지 플레이 가능하게 해주세요
광고제거시스템 만들어 주세요

### 3/5 — Pay to win

*2025-07-26, version 1.4.14*

More often than not once you hit the third area, you won’t get items that increase your traits so you are forced to either watch 2 ads or use gems. 

Also, the Almighty and Dimension Breaker are OP and even with a broken build they will kill you.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2025-05-07, version 1.4.14*

Wish we could pick more free stuff

### 1/5 — Good game gone bad

*2025-04-25, version 1.4.14*

It has all the bones of a good game but difficulty setting is too high. There should also be more ability to adjust your character.  The price for expansion is ridiculous.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-04-01, version 1.4.14*

Good job, it’s perfect. Most enjoyable game in the App Store.
