There’s always something to do. ### 5/5 — LANGUE EN FRANÇAIS *2025-11-18* Le jeu est super mais le souci c’est que le fait que ce soit en anglais si on est pas à l’aise avec ne permet pas une immersion complète ### 1/5 — Not worth the effort *2025-07-26* Honestly, loved it in the beginning. However, this is definitely pay to win and there is so much toxicity (even more than the typical PvP) it’s really not worth the time and effort to play. You aren’t heard by anyone and the most toxic players are the ones that get away with anything because they are whales. Doesn’t matter that they do anything against the Realm Rules, “no one can stop them” and no one even tries, including Devs when they are reached out for. Again, probably because they are whales. I’d list usernames, but the doxxing and harassment is real on all fronts. Other players will just burry their heads and the few that do care aren’t able to do much or are cowards and will backstab you in a heartbeat to save themselves. So if you join, don’t expect any really support if things go too far. ### 3/5 — Why IS THE AGE RATING SO HIGH *2025-06-29, version 1.38* My son wants to play with me but I said no because the age limit for the game is R 18+ and he cried for about a minute (Why?) ### 3/5 — Português *2025-06-29* o jogo é lindo mas falta adicionar idiomas, quero jogar 🥺 **Developer response:** Olá! Agradecemos o seu feedback. Nosso objetivo é tornar a experiência melhor para todos, e seu feedback nos ajuda a alcançar esse objetivo. Esperamos que você aproveite ainda mais nossas atualizações futuras! ### 1/5 — Don’t Do It (I’m quitting after a year…) *2025-06-09, version 1.37* I’ve been playing for almost a year and I’m done. The game started out fun but the PvP toxic bullies who are mostly whales who pay to win make this game near impossible to enjoy if you aren’t prepared to spend a ton of money…and I mean a TON (think hundreds to thousands). Which is sad because the game would be amazing if ATA wouldn’t be so greedy and if they’d actually fix the issues that players have identified for them. ATA says they pride themselves on creating social communities in free to play games, but they’ve strayed from that vision. They also don’t listen to their player feedback (yes even on Discord which their replies will say to do). I don’t even know where to begin: cluttered UI, numerous typos, impossible raids, outrageously priced items/heroes, poor communication, icky devs (Jordan), no opt-out of PvP, toxic chat with no support even after “report”, inconsistency with design, poor event descriptions, etc. I’m done. I only stayed this long because I liked my club. But I’m moving on. Do better ATA. And if you’ve read this long gamer…don’t do it. There are better free to play or affordable game options with less toxic communities and more responsive devs. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time. *2025-03-31, version 1.34* I’ve been playing this game since it came out of beta. I’ve invested a lot of money into it at this point. The game play is nothing like you see in the ads, so don’t come expecting that. The entire game is a cash grab, it’s impossible to be f2p and get anywhere. The devs don’t care about their player base AT ALL, because they constantly release broken features or “fixes” that completely change how your hero’s work after two years of things being “broken”. This game never should have come out of beta. Not to mention the rampant doxxing, stalking, and harassment from some members of their player base. They won’t do anything about these kinds of players so don’t even try! Unless you’re willing to spend hundreds of dollars a month on this game, the devs won’t listen to your feedback and you won’t get anywhere easily. ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch: Boycott Spending with ATA *2025-03-23, version 1.34* Played this game because it looked like fun. Love the community. However, like all ATA games, they’re excellent at getting people to pay for certain features, and then completely changing it so the gameplay is garbage. Shame on ATA. In my opinion, the fact that the heroes “passive” bonuses/buffs were added directly to your stats indicates, to me at least, that these were in fact passive abilities that were supposed to apply to all heroes, regardless of who is in your march. It’s in the coding itself, and ATA coming in saying that their changes were *always* meant to be is a lie. They’re trying to scam the players into believing what they did was for the greater good of the game, when in fact it was not. They’re completely out of touch with their player base. They clearly don’t understand how their game works else there’d be an actual forum for it, and they wouldn’t be relying on their player base to test each and every feature and combo so that those players can then share with the class. This is something that should’ve been completed in the beta stage. They should not have taken it out of beta stage and allowed purchases to happen prior to major “fixes.” Major fixes that completely change the way a game functions to such a degree should never happen TWO YEARS outside of beta testing. ### 1/5 — Newest update DESTROYED your stats *2025-03-20, version 1.34* I have been playing this game for a few months and I have enjoyed it up until this very moment. Today we received a pigeon stating that they were updating the game and “fixing” stats of hero’s. This not only affected my hero hit strength but my protective wall when from 8.8 BILLION to 2.2 billion. This “update” also came after releasing a hero that boosted gather time and cost $50. I SPENT that $50 for the great stat boost only for them to go and destroy not only her hero stats but ALL Of the stats FOR EVERY hero. ATA fix this. We did NOT ask for this fix since it wasn’t broken in the first place. Editing to add: despite the whole realm relaying this info and sharing our concerns we have been IGNORED in the realm discord and shut down on multiple occasions. ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2025-03-20, version 1.34* The devs of this game make it almost impossible to play and enjoy. Just been you think you understand the game mechanics, bonuses, raid rewards, etc, they “fix” things to reduce bonuses, rewards, and generally make the game harder and essentially make your purchases irrelevant. And don’t bother to reimburse you the money you spent on heroes for certain abilities. I’ve invested some money and a LOT of time in this game only to have the devs yank the rug out from under me repeatedly. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS GAME. They will piss you off to no end and tell you to get over it. Play candy crush instead. ## Frequently asked questions about Witch Arcana ### What is Witch Arcana: Magic School?
