Why even bother? You won't win!

The game follows a storyline yet gives you nothing in ways to progress the storyline. You need to defeat the demon king boss? Your weapon is underpowered you lose, fight a tournament? weapon is underpowered you lose, do literally any fight in a new area of this game? Your weapon is too underpowered you lose. How do you get a new weapon you might ask? Oh that's easy! It'll give you ONE weapon buff somewhere at the start of the new area, which will eventually be too underpowered to progress.. or through a shop in the main menu with sword that cost thousands of this gem currency which you can really only get by slowly leveling a dwarf over the course of a month or.. well you know! In app purchases! Pay-to-win content! The best part is it's LITERALLY the only way! The game locks any other possible way to progress the story in a way that feels satisfying, the slime potions are more money than you can possibly have or a dollar in real life currency.... I've tried stacking strength potions and still have lost fights. I cannot win because the game refuses to allow me any access to new weapons, pets, or anything to buff my strength stat other than.. you guessed it! In-app purchases!

Good

It’s a good game but they need more levels in it so I can keep playing and still be entertained

Uses ads in a fun way

This game has ads and they don’t hide it from you, but there are no pop-up ads. The ads are only used to reset your character if you die or give you good loot I have played this game for the past three hours straight. And I’m having a lot of fun with it.

It’s so fun and exciting

It’s good
