Community Insight:
With this new update, yes, theres more stuff and its getting even better, but we cans use the armor because if it reaches lvl 3, it upgrades anything else and it crashes the game! We really enjoy it, hope it gets even better.
The game is simple but fun. We like it.
Ngl Im addicted right now and we dont see the fuss about paying for skip ads and still having the hole levels we mean we get the average age group for this game probably doesnt have close to a fully developed brain yet but we mean its simple to look and figure it out and we have no clue how to use the silencer.
We really like playing the game, but once you max outout the equipment, youre left with a surplus inventory of purple equipment that you cant do anything with. It would be nice to have further upgrades for your equipment.
Fun game. Needs more higher tier item upgrades. Had 3 purple couldnt fuse. But overall great.
Great concept but in the later sections of the game it has so many ads its unplayable.
So, the skills dont seem to improve when you increase their tier. Not sure if thats a bug or not, but it kinda makes getting the skills useless since theres no upgrade past unlocking new ones.
Its fun, has had us addicted for a couple days but its glitched and some things could be better. Would be better if the gear you have and upgrade you would actually wear. During a battle if you have to step away and shut ya phone off some of the upgrades you got would be missing and in the center of the screen glitched. When you buy new upgrade cards they will get fused and the percentage wont go up (which it should) fun but needs a lot of work.
We have this game 3 stars because we do enjoy it. However, it is severely unfinished. We have unlocked every part and gun and have yet to find the rest of them that are still behind question marks. We also havent seen any sign of this winter event or winter arsenal. The game is good, the developers have disappointed us.
So Ive been playing for some time and we love the guns and merging, but to be locked on gear you get is boring, once you get purple you cant fuse anymore when other merge games go super high in tiers and level. Also why am we upgrading and barely getting any boost like +3 damage. Also why are enemies on chapter 10 doing so much damage compared to the gear we have just makes no sense.
We brought the no ads pack and still had to watch ads wow.
As the title says, not much else to say. We cant say anything about the in app purchases for real money but we noticed a lot of inconsistencies in the shop. A few of them items in the shop says +X% which means itll give you an extra percent of resources. The math howeveris mostly just wrong but also in a good way. Like the first offer has a price of $0.99 for 70 gems but theres a $99.99 offer that says +50% extra gems but it literally gives you almost 100% more gems. Wow Thats nice but then theres another offer for a separate resources that says itll give us +X% extra as well when it literally gives you 0% extra. Bruh Who did the math for the shop.
Fun game play, but ads started to pop up after the third stage.
You cant even beat the second level without watching a large amount of ads to power up your cat. Pretty annoying and Im giving it a bad rating.
Its a fun game it has so much potential. But the upgrades for your health and damage barley do anything for you so its almost Impossible to progress through it the game would be SO much more enjoyable if you could actually make your character strong rather than adding 4 more health or damage for each upgrade you get which is already grindy just to get that.
While the game is fun to play, there are way too many ads. It basically becomes unplayable at points without watching ads or paying to skip them. Unlike many other games theres no option to pay to get rid of ads permanently. Only for speeding up the gameplay so you quicker get to the next ad (nice try). Also you quickly get to a point where no (real) new content is available. Level get repetitive quickly, bullet holes are a major annoyance and not many talents to unlock. Overall designed to be a cash grab.
This can has the capabilities of being fun however, you gotta deal with 1000 and 1 adds. Just give people that like the game a way to be add free. People would pay to wipe away the ads.
Too much reliance on chance. Ive gotten to the point where we cant even pass the 1st wave no matter what we get on in random shop. The economy is pretty messed up too 3k of those green gems to get 25k coins but our upgrade costs 38k? Well, it was fun for 3 days guess its getting deleted lol.
Paid for no ads and only got a few tickets to skip ads but after that the ads are back.
Way too many ads, which is fine when on airplane mode, but then the levels with holes are unplayable, at least make it so we have the option to use in game cash in this scenario, giving players something more to think about then watch ad to remove hole, which the holes come back btw, so your spending more time watching ads to remove the ever growing holes than playing this stupid game. At least act like you understand good game design.
The game itself is decent. Dont pay for anything!!!! We paid to have ads removed and then all of a sudden, we HAD to watch ads to be able to play. Just trashy in our opinion. Dont offer the pay to remove ads and then change the way the game goes to FORCE us to watch ads. Ive been on one level for over 45 times because we refuse to watch anymore ads. We will continue to update with how many times these crooks make us replay this same level.
Like every other game but this one is filled with free! (With ads) the stats arent even right either. 95% accuracy yet 60% of our shots miss? Righttttt ok. Multiple things wrong with game. Fun for 5 minutes then u realize its bad.
Either pay to skip ads or be prepared to watch a plethora of outlandish output of overlong online offers! Would be a decent game if we didnt have to watch 5, 30-60 second videos in just 15 waves. Will be removing the game.
Potential to be fun like capybara-go but way too many ads even after paying for ad-removal.
We died, clicked ad, to revive, and Im stuck and cant move, most of the time. We paid for the aggressive ads and X2 attack speed. We should have waited, not knowing it was like this.
, , 47 , 10, , , , , , , , 5 , 2,.
Start every round with an ad. Ad pop ups mid game. Both the gear you purchase mid match and rerolls for the shop get replaced with free gear behind an ad, essentially soft locking the spot. Icing on the cake is that the first popup ad doesnt show up until after the second match AFTER asking for a rating. Gameplay would be more interesting if the rerolls and shop slots werent replaced by ads every shop.
There are too many ads, you have to watch ads.
Great game, but you need to add more stuff. We cant get any more talent cards as we have maxed out the ones available and it wont draw any of the other ones that are still gray with question marks.
Im enjoying the game, but Ive now lost millions of gold because no more Talent cards are being unlocked. Is this a coming soon thing, or a glitch.
You pay to get rid of the ads after that any little upgrade in the fight makes you watch an ad to get however you can use the gems given to you and buy ad skips in the store making so you never have to watch any. The other thing is the game has way less content than the preview shows like the upgrade cards you get theres only 9 of them once you get them the game takes your in game money and gives you nothing.
Its a fun game we only have a few complaints. Theres some bugs like where a stunned enemy will continue attacking or performing its next move that turn rather than being stuck during that move. We also spent gems to revive ourselves one match but instead of continuing all the characters were stuck in their idle stance. Then when we exited out the game and came back in, it asked if we wanted to resume our previous match, which we clicked yes, and it reverted us back to our health before we died and revived ourselves in which we immediately died and failed the round and all our gems we had spent were gone. Mind you gems arent GIVEN to you in this game. Theyre bought other than the daily 20 or so you get everyday. Other than that our only other addition is that the armor should show up on the cat when you equip it. We think thatd look better as well as making it easier to tell what armor we have on exactly rather than scrolling through the many armor items we have to see which is check marked.
We were having an okay time playing this game, but this whole paying for no ads thing is frustrating. You get hit with an ad every 3 minutes. The worst part is half the ads are broken and dont allow you to close them so youre forced to force close the app and restart your progress. Ads always annoy us, but when they ended our progress and forced us to restart, we uninstalled the app. Good job polluting a decent game with ads to the point to where it isnt even playable. Theres zero pride in their product, just the dollars generated from people paying to remove ads.
Lots of unexplained, and probably unintentional things happen. Our crit chance slowly goes negative each new level, the equipment stats are buggy and better gear reads as worse, attacks randomly do 0 damage, and we randomly get a shield sometimes.
Shortly getting into the levels, its impossible to get through without the ads to get bonus rewards. Poorly thought of game.
Theres a lot of glitches and problems like when you have a equipment set it tells you you have the bonus but in battle it doesnt work.
Cool game, too many ads and not enough to actually do.
The game is really fun and the concept is really cool. However, you cannot play this game without spending money or watching a ton of ads. They let you get through the first couple of levels without watching ads but as soon as you get past those first few opening levels youre gonna basically be forced to either watch a bunch of ads spend a bunch of money or just completely lose every time.
When we were playing the first run we ran into the lucky wheel twice we got buff cat and twice it locked up our phone and ruined on of our strongest runs please fix it.
Currently cannot do upgrade it will take the coins but wont upgrade anything.
Some items are not available even after we watched ad to get them.
Say chance to cause bleeding instead of causes 3 bleeding cuz we pick the knife and it doesnt even cause bleeding.
The flow of the game is pretty similar to other games in its genre: cup hero, backpack hero, etc. And so on. Its main drawback is the pure necessity to watch ads and the ad break every single time you want to reroll more than once. Theres even an upgrade that reduces the cost to reroll, and it only really affects the first one since all other rerolls are ads. A basic and satisfactory game, but far too reliant on an internet connection and ads.
As usual, fun until the forced ads start up. We understand everyone needs to make their money but multiple ads per short game is ridiculous.
