Community Insight:
We really enjoy this fun little game. It doesnt have a lot going on but that doesnt mean it isnt a great game. The power loop is great, keep running the dungeons to get gold, better loot and level up so you can take on harder levels of the dungeon. Very fun game. We just wish there was a way for us to pay the developer like maybe an ad removal IAP or something like that. The ads are not bad but we would still love the option to pay to remove them. We also would just like to support this developer so they make more cool games like this one lol. Anyway, great job on the game, we hope to see more cool RPGs in the future. Please dont ever stop making games! You rock.
Just wish there was an end or something to aim for. After awhile it gets kind of tedious just climbing floor after floor. But we sunk tons of time into it before we got to that point. Well worth it.
We like this game very much. We dont mind the ads that are missing. Still we can play on or offline. This is perfect. Please update the game.
Wished the Devs didnt give up on this game :(.
Wish the developer didnt let this game die. Update it please.
Really brings back GameBoy games.
Hour in so far, enjoying plenty.
The sword of flame design is called the sword of earth and the sword of earth design is called the sword of flame.
Has a variety of items to find and let you customize your game. A fun twist to the genera.
Ive only been playing this game for 2 days, and Ive already leveled up as high as we can. Its fun, and relaxing. We just wish there was more to it. It would be cool if armor changed the look of your character.
Most importantly – as far as we can tell this is not a greedy title, asking you to buy gems to proceed or keep up with crazy rich Asians. Ive only been playing a day or so, but so far its great. Not a ton of depth as far as we can tell, but its enjoyable and a break from your regular games.
When it comes to video games, the blend of genres involved tend to be imbalanced, typically favoring one particular genre over the others. This is one of those rare games where it is exactly what it says on the tin: a retro-style hack and slash dungeon-crawling shmup RPG. There are several classifications of weapons and armor, each with different benefits, both evident and hidden. These weapons and armor can affect several stats, including gold collection, bullet speed, rate of fire, and amount of projectiles fired at once. There is a surprising and refreshing level of depth to the game, to where you can craft your experience to your shmup playing style, based on the equipment that you choose to use. There are no in-app purchases, which can be good or bad, depending on your disposition towards them. The game does want you to win and continue playing, giving you ample treasure and special currency. We REALLY like this game… But heres our reason for 4 stars: the game is rough around the edges. Misspelled words like Heel, uncapitalized items, item images that do not go with their descriptions, and stat augments that are different than the values suggested make this game a diamond in the rough. Those things aside, this game is an unassuming but fantastic find. Still happily playing.
This game seems like a good game to play.
This game is amazing when it works but very quickly turns impossible at random times thanks to extreme lag spikes. That combined with unskippable video ads makes for a very frustrating experience.
The attack speed (base) with attach speed material equip doesnt add up making it slower then it really should be by about 0.05 and doing some updates on the game after 2 years would be a good idea, we bet this game would be great with maintenance every now and again, maybe make it a bit easier to get good loot cause its kinda hard to get anything good.
There goes our Friday night hehe.
We love this game, please include an ad removal purchase. We would love to be able to get rid of ads and purchase this game. 5 stars when we can pay to remove ads.
