### 1/5 — Fun but frustrating

*2023-02-23, version 182*

Game is fun, yes. Here’s the the trick. The more you upgrade the harder the game becomes, not the higher the level, the harder it gets. Thus making you mentally want to spend more money to win. And the prices can get pretty steep. I suggest not to get serious with this game as you may spend a lot of money and hardly moving forward.

### 2/5 — Trash

*2023-01-29, version 181*

Having to have facebook to use guilds or pvp is absolutely absurd

### 1/5 — Games broken

*2023-01-25, version 181*

I have barely been playing a few days and can’t get gems to upgrade my base last level 19. Pay to win game I don’t advise playing.

### 2/5 — Expensive and purposely wasteful

*2023-01-14, version 181*

Advertisements are much too long and on the more time-abusive and misleading side. The game is easily hackable as noted in the “Arena” mode where there are several players with exceedingly higher scores than most average players. And the resources required to build up your characters is so fragmented it’s absurd. Not to mention the developer charges way too much money for most upgrades and features. If you can get a hacked version of the game I would strongly advocate for doing so. The greed doesnt well balance against the overall gameplay and availability of features and variety.

### 5/5 — It’s fun

*2022-12-30, version 176*

I set up a Reddit page for the game if anyone is interested.

### 1/5 — Gems for normal upgrades?

*2022-12-15, version 176*

Requires paid currency to upgrade normal things like your base

### 1/5 — Triton’s skill not working

*2022-11-26, version 175*

Tritons skill isn’t working please fix.

### 1/5 — Muy mal

*2022-11-23, version 171*

Tiene constantes fallas. Suele pegarse periódicamente, sin contar con la cantidad de anuncios.

### 2/5 — Issues

*2022-11-23, version 171*

Ever since you added the thanksgiving content I cannot collect my daily earnings it just does nothing fix it

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2022-10-14, version 5.06*

There is constant adds and daily spins don’t work but it’s ok other than that. The creators really need to fix these issues
