### 3/5 — Not friendly to none whales

*2026-08-21, version 1.35.0*

The game at first looks like it gives players that doesn’t have thousands of dollar sitting around a chance of progressing but you’ll quickly hit a wall when you realize how much of a resource sink you will need to a single character by mid game. Mind you it’s 300+ dollar for pity in a game that has a chance that characters will be wit lower stats, lower, lower fortitude and they can straight out die forever. 

You will need multiple copies of several character just to have the most basic ability of cleansing certain debuff that heavily affect gameplay.

The “costumes” alt form also require you to get multiple copy unless you want a significantly weakened version of the base form because changing costume force you to greet your character’s discipline.

Also who’s freaking idea to make class switching such an unbelievable pain? Not only are you expected to spend premium currency for SINGLE USE class switch, you also need to gamble with premium currency to have a rng chance to even get the class switch scroll for your character. Everytime they raise the level cap you’re expected to cough up 12 dollar to make sure your single character gets all the abilities. 

Also the idea that you play a story with choice is a load. The game doesn’t give you any choices EVER on the first run of a storyline. All it’s effectively doing is play the same dungeon/story two or more time but give you a choice different outcome ONLY after you already played it repeatedly. That’s not choices that’s just an excuse to reuse the same dungeon over and get again as padding.

You can spend several thousands of dollar and not even get a single character on bar with other mobile game in terms of power. Absolutely disgusting.

### 4/5 — Jogo bom para passar o tempo.

*2026-08-21*

Lembra muito os JRPG do época do PS1 e PS2. Dá para tirar muitas horas de diversão sem gastar nada. Não tem tradução em português.
Acho que a falha maior é a falta de explicação de alguns detalhes para ajudar a evoluir os personagens.

### 4/5 — Review  6 rewrite

*2026-08-20, version 1.35.0*

It’s pretty good but the soft locks and some aspects are hard to figure out like new equipment and where to get it

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2026-08-18, version 1.34.10*

There’s a difference between making a game hard and making one annoying right in the beginning it’s steering towards annoying you run just to have the enemy appear behind or in front or to get mosh pit give the the bosses od health resistant accuracy while we get like a spec grade up systems is trash too that’s a whole mission just to rank up which you gotta do again if you want someone else ranked up

### 4/5 — This game is sick

*2026-08-17, version 1.34.10*

I’m really enjoying the game characters are fun, wish the drop rates were a little better for the better top ones though overall a great and enjoyable way to spend free time.

### 3/5 — Great Game Bad MTX

*2026-08-16, version 1.34.10*

The cash shop in the game is horrible the pricing is all over the place they could cut the prices in half and it would still be bad, but the game is amazing. If they would lower the prices to reasonable levels a lot more people would spend but they want to sell a monthly pass for every different aspect of the game and to summon is way overpriced

### 4/5 — Just play it

*2026-08-14, version 1.34.10*

No other game like it on the mobile game market. A turn based game with a genuine storyline, unique character mechanics, a world you feel like you’re actually exploring.

But as a F2P player, expect to only get 40-50% of limited time characters with this gacha system.

### 5/5 — Wizardry Reincarnated

*2026-08-13, version 1.34.10*

This game is an absolute blast! Brings back fond memories of Wizardry on my Apple ][ computer 40 years ago.

### 5/5 — Good gameplay and rpg aspects

*2026-08-12, version 1.34.5*

Actually a good game and very unique, I love the amount of characters there are.

### 2/5 — Load faster

*2026-08-12, version 1.34.5*

A lot of data and multiple times it takes so long to load makes me NOT want to play please get a dev to load things faster please

### 5/5 — My Favorite Mobile Game

*2026-08-11, version 1.34.5*

This game heavily awards good strategy, is incredibly immersive & rewards feel good. It’s like I’m actually a party leader in an adventurer’s guild. Personally I’d prefer some sort of paid subscription model that allows you to recruit whoever and quests to earn whatever gear you want, but that’s just me

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-08-10, version 1.34.5*

Such a great dungeon crawler. So far it feels like I can experience the story without being forced to pay. Well done all.

### 5/5 — Never leaving

*2026-08-09, version 1.34.5*

Of course Best Gaming mobile dungeon app of all time,( My phone lost all my data and i couldn’t recover my account) but i’m here again and will be staying even after losing my characters that i had since the launch and pre order of the app Sad i know but I can’t stay away from this

### 5/5 — Favorite game

*2026-08-08, version 1.34.5*

I spend WAY too much time on this game. Still crashes too often but opens right back where you left off and the gameplay is worth it

### 5/5 — Très niche

*2026-08-08*

Mais incroyablement satisfaisant

### 5/5 — Amazing Wizardry!

*2026-08-07, version 1.34.5*

Endless Joy! I’ve played Wizardry since 1983 and this game is beyond perfect! It’s definitely possible to play and enjoy it without needing to spend money. I love playing this on my iPhone 16pro.

### 5/5 — Fixed! Not

*2026-08-07, version 1.34.5*

I tried everything and game would not work update after update. Finally, I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and that’s all I had to do. Best game I’ve ever played on mobile device. Then it stopped working after out decided my stats

### 1/5 — Torture moving

*2026-08-17, version 1.34.10*

Torture moving , every forward is and finger swipe up

### 1/5 — Won’t start

*2026-08-15, version 1.34.10*

The game hangs, cant get through tutorial.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-07-24, version 1.33.6*

This is a game?  Why doesnt it work?  Why cant you do anything?  Why doesnt the app respond?  Why in the F does it look hazy?  Awful

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-07-17, version 1.33.5*

Downloaded ok,,,then froze..I kept offloading the reload..still the same…Shane as this was recommended by a friend.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-06-13, version 1.31.10*

Game still won’t do anything after it says click to start it worked fine on my other iPhone idk would rate 5* if I could play it again

### 1/5 — The game broke

*2026-06-09, version 1.31.1*

I was unable to get past the title screen after playing for over 6 months and collecting some rare characters.

### 1/5 — Wanted more

*2026-05-28, version 1.31.0*

The constant communication with their server. Kills it for me. I live in rural country. Just can’t do it.

 However happy. For such a game dependent on connectivity. Which translates into total control for that business. Is most assuredly business minded! lol

### 1/5 — Repeatedly work

*2026-05-23, version 1.30.1*

Worst game engine, you might try the same dungeon again and again endlessly like a dumb

### 1/5 — Massive app. Doesn’t work

*2026-05-09, version 1.29.1*

The listing says 1.75, but that’s before the 8GB update file you need to download in order to play the game! And after deleting other apps and files to make space…. It doesn’t work. Waste of time.

### 5/5 — Traduction française 🙏

*2026-08-24*

Jeux excellent rien à redire mais s’il vous plais m’était une traduction en français 
Sinon bravos pour le travail 💪

### 5/5 — Great Tough Game

*2026-08-20*

Fun, purposefully tough, and a good story with well-implemented mechanics. Devs are really tuned into feedback.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable PAIN

*2026-08-20*

Dark souls mobile hope you are ready to rage: critical poison 😂😂 

Great game very f2p friendly (not easy but doable)

### 5/5 — No ads, full dungeon crawler

*2026-08-19, version 1.34.10*

Finally, a game that I can plunge tons of hours into, I found it through an ad on social media and I gotta say it’s one of the best things I’ve found as far as games are concerned, not a single ad has popped up interfering with my progress. 

They game is pretty challenging and the UI could use a minor overhaul (clearer way to select enemies while attacking) I have other minor gripes at the end of the day, I won’t complain- keep this game the way it is - it’s one of the few solid games that are out there

### 5/5 — good

*2026-08-18, version 1.34.10*

Micro trans unobtrusive and decent wizardry format

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-08-15, version 1.34.10*

If you like dungeon crawler games this one is for you best one I found so far worth the download

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem

*2026-08-14, version 1.34.10*

This game is something I’ve been looking for, since before the great gooner disaster hit the App Store.

### 5/5 — Petición

*2026-08-14, version 1.34.10*

Por favor pongan el idioma español en el juego

### 5/5 — Bestes gacha

*2026-08-13*

Echt klasse was geboten wird. Fühlt sich wie ein echtes rpg mit hauptcharakter an.

### 5/5 — A diamond among rocks

*2026-08-13, version 1.34.10*

I only downloaded this game because I’m a huge Final Fantasy 11 player been playing since PS2 2026. I thought the Collab had something to do with clothing until someone told me it’s a mobile game decided to download it that was 13 days ago and for 13 days I’ve been on this game nonstop. I’m loving the combat. I’m loving the job systems I’m loving the grind and I’m loving the difficulty. This game is literally a diamond hidden amongst the bunch of rocks when it comes to mobile games. I literally give this a perfect score because of how much fun it is on gameplay. It’s a little pay to convenience and the fact that”sales” end to try and rush you to buy it after major story arcs is lame but otherwise I’m loving it
