Community Insight:
Its a great game iv been playing for as long as we can remember, its awesome to grind but it appears we have run into a bug were we cant earn the achievements anymore as we have fulfilled the requirements for lion heart, 50 and 100 combo as well.
This is our favorite mobile game because its fun, really accomplishing and hard. Ive been playing it since we were 5. When we first beat the dragon we remember we were so happy we started crying.
If your looking for a fun game to play anywhere, this is your game. It is such a gem, so addicting, yet simple, and usually when we die In a game we tend to give up, this game we just wont. 10/10 recommend.
Normally Im not the biggest fan of mobile games, but this game is an exception. The game is simple, addicting, and just downright fun. We also greatly appreciate the game refraining from spamming any ads like a lot of mobile games do, and instead reserving ads to be optional only for bonuses in the game, instead just of constantly spamming the player with them. Its a game you can whip out at any time and play, and its a great game overall.
Its awesome we just wish yall would update it.
You only take damage when a red block hits the left side or when you tap when the blue line is over a gray spot You don't need to worry about hitting the yellow and green damage blocks. Missing those won't make you take damage. The red blocks give combo.
We LOVE THIS game we have been playing it for awhile and we don't think there is a end XDDD we are at level 120.
We suggest adding a 'reset' button on the pause menu to restart the players current area instead of having to go all the way back to the menu or dying just to fix a mistake in the previous battle.
Why does every1 say it's hard beat it without a horse or anything over the weekend.
This game is really good. The knee-jerk reaction you get when you see the wait timer goes away when you realize a few things. 1. The timer only works on the hero that died. This means that you can still play, but it pushes you a little out of your comfort zone of your go-to playstyle. 2. You get revives every run. The revives are not one-time uses, the number of revives you own applies to every run you play.
BEST GAME EVER!!! Please come out with us games like this and less simulators pls. And change the look of ur casino game to present more of a fun/young vibe.
Have you ever wanted to kill yourself but you just didn't have enough reason to? This game will help you out.
You should get this game. It's difficulty and amount of challenge makes us keep going at it. It's super addictive and although we said we're done with this game multiple times(we can't get past the second boss) our thumbs don't want to quit. Get this if your up for a challenge. Good job creators we've been looking for a game with the difficulty like this for a while.
This is a great concept but it is way too hard and fast.
This game was challenging but we got to level 80 then Lost but still on 70 it is a hard game but if you give it a bad review because it's too hard maybe your just bad at video games.
This is super addictive but we hate the second boss his attacks deal full damage most of the time so it's really hard to move on but otherwise really good game.
This game is so cool! The only thing that we would change is the difficulty, because we can't get past Death: lvl 30. But really, the soundtrack NEEDS to be available on iTunes. It is AWESOME.
Would be nice if support for iPhone X and up was added. Im left with sizable black bars on either side of our Xs max screen when playing. Great game though, throughly addicting.
Pretty good and Satisfying game.
The game is good and all but we don't like the upgrading system.add coins or gold or something so if we get stuck we can just grind coins then upgrade.
This game does its job well. The only request we have is if we could have options on difficulty. We had gotten this game way before its popularity spike when people weren't complaining about difficulty. We miss the "retro" difficulty to it. We were wondering if you guys could re-add it in the future. Thanks.
Is it too much to ask for that after you die and u restart at the check point to start with full health ? It makes it so much harder and it's already pretty complicated to get fully heal when you need those upgrades more.
This game has so much potential, but it's not fitting for the causal mobile gamer It's way to fast pace and the enemies do so much damage. For example in level 2 we had 300 hp and the attack were you mis tap inflicts 35 damage. The red blocks when they would reach the damage point it would inflict 70 damage. The red bomb cards would inflict 115 damage. The enemies in level 2 had 425-650 compared to your 300. Like this is harder than dark souls. This game does have a nice aesthetic and a brilliant leveling up mechanic. Causal mode please.
This game. It's so fun. But those F$&$ing fast attacks are like bugged and it's dumb would rate higher if they didn't deal full damage.
Soft in the beginning but gets harder in like a minute. This game is harder than the following: farming adventure:all our crops died, super Kirby eats stuff, seven nights at Denny's, gay texting app that sounds like a dog, Ronald McDonald's children roundup, despicable universal:slave labor run, sponge boy advertisements, flying bird game of the year by tromeni, heroes of guitar Live, barfstone: the card game, Dota ripoff Aka vain glory, mental birds hurt piggies, talking cat 18+, hunger games the rpg, and finally disco radiation vault, or fallout tycoon 4. This game is sickening. We would rather stand inside a box full of four sided Legos than play this monstrosity. HOL LOL GAEM OS OK.
BALANCE THIS GAME!!!! QUICK TIP: Forget about health. It's worthless after level 25. You get hit once and youre dead anyways so what's the difference if you lost 300 or 50 health. Nothing. Because you die. Always. So. Only do damage boosters. We wouldn't even heal ourselves either. You need the damage later. Also just upgrade combo damage when you can. It does work man. Anyways, the game is waaaay too hard. After the second boss it's like crazy hard. And you can't redo your checkpoint. For example we didn't know what minimum damage was when we first started playing so we never got it. Now every time we start at level 11 with a minimum of 2 damage. And we can't get it higher. Make it so we can restart from the very beginning. Also have the computers only advance in the same way that you did. Because at level 20 the boss has 6x more health than we do, has a minimum damage twice as high as maximum damage, and is overall crazy hard. Basically the only way to beat the game without spending hours on the same ten opponents is to buy the steeds. We also think it would make more sense if the boosts you got did a lot more. Because at level 25 the people all have at least 5x health as we do, and they aren't even bosses. Just tone down the game a bit more. That and we think if you didn't get harmed the last engagement you should get either A) a maximum health boost or B) you should get to pick two of the boosts. That would make it more fair. Just a bit. Also make the fast blocks slow down because if you miss it the first time around and don't have a combo ready you're screwed. And have less shields and slow them down even more. Or make them a 2 hit. ALSO THE LEVEL 30 BOSS IS SUPER ANNOYING! Not because he has to much Heath or deals to much damage or whatever, we can deal with that. BUT THE STUPID BOMBINGS HE CAN JUST PLACE DOWN EVERYWHERE ARE CRAP! We've died on him the last 3 times because we were going to hit a fast block or whatever, and that thing spawns that very moment and we hit that. Taking damage, taking our combo, slowing us down, and making it so we can't get to the 3 blocks that got through right there that go and kill us. At least have it blink in or something to give us a warning. As it is the game is really fun then it gets to hard to fast. But we love the idea of it. Some positive things you could add: two player. Whether that's on wifi or same screen we think it would be crazy awesome to play a real person.
This game is fun..but it's just too hard. The only way to get past leave 1 is to buy a horse! Witch is stupid. And the boss in the first leave is so hard and we refuse to buy a horse! And it doesn't even tell you how to beat the boss easily we don't even know what's going on when we're fighting the boss. So we really hope you fix this problem until then for anyone who reads this it's not worth buying unless you want to break your tablet.
The concept and execution of the game is good, but gameplay ends up being ridiculously hard after beating the first boss(we're alright with difficulty, trying to 100% meatboy) with the fast attacks being too fast and the shields taking too much time to break, with the addition of the enemies dealing 70 ish while you only have around 500 health during that point(bless your heart if you did not upgrade health). Also you need a full heal often each boss, let's put it this way we kill the boss but we only have 20 hp left but since we beat the boss we're stuck at 20 hp unless we delete the game and start over(or perfectly flawless somehow). Some nice additions would be like having and upgrade that makes attacks move slower(0.2 slowdown or 0.5 if you are feeling generous), and/or an upgrade which makes random health appear( do something like 25 increases don't be cheap and do 10) Speaking about being cheap the revive is not worth it if you die just restart because respawning with less than 50% hp you have no chance unless you are already fighting the boss. By the way having to buy upgrade is a cash grab that does not work well either, a 10% health increase means nothing, so we also recommend making these unlock able without having to pay money. Good game but you can't help but notice there's some greed going on. P.S the game might benefit from having equipable weapons and armor with advantages and a upgrade able skill makes it so good loot is more common and have a chance to do critical strikes(5%of dmg increase).
Stupid game we don't like it. Who wants to play it.
Looks fun. It isn't. 5 minutes of fun followed by immense disappointment. This game needs to overhaul every aspect. For a "skill" game this is relentlessly luck based.
Wasn't good too hard laggy and just painful to play because it was HARD AS HECK so we say the creator of this game Needs to make a better game.
A very nice idea for a game, but executed.
Sorry we don't have superior reflexes like others for tapping a bar that rapidly speeds up, but the fact you lose half your life bar for misclicking on nothing ontop of losing another half when one red box gets through is the reason we will be uninstalling.
Game is straight garbage. Get rid of the stupid ads while ur at it.
We really looked forward to playing this but… Keeps crashing when we open the app.
At the moment if you only put points into health and combo you can literally kill everything in 2 or 3 hits (Bosses maybe 5-6) also Death is to difficult at the level you are in resulting in early deaths countless times. Oh this is great, now you can watch ads to revive. Good update guys defiantly balancing.
When we first got the game we loved it.. However, we would rage everytime! But this new revival system has made our experience SO MUCH BETTER.
This game is incredible, although brutally difficult later on. Be prepared for great difficulty later in the game, as it is a sharp spike. However, it is not unfair, as it is definitely possible with practice. Overall a great addition to your games library.
Starts off extremely easy and teaches you the basics. That's a great start, but then after the first boss, not only are the enemies stronger than you, but the way that they send out attacks, just sometimes you can't block and there goes a bit of your health. When you beat an enemy you get to pick one upgrade while the enemy basically gets three per level.
Good concept but unfair gameplay. At least put some heath potion for buy with coin in the game it will be better really really unfair.
It started out so great, but then it broke… For months we cried, "When will they fix it?" As the tears ran down our face we realized maybe, just maybe we were just horrible at it. And that was the case. In other words great game.
At the beginning we didnt like the graphics. But the core mechanics and the gameplay was fun and really well thought. One of the latest games that has compelled us to try harder and complete it (get the crown).
Max damage 1st priority Combo damage 2nd Max hp for healing Never get full heal and min damage Prioritize green,they will always crit and deal tons of damage.
Once you get the handle of the controls and realize that if you just upgrade min damage and combo you breeze through the game, it's quiet fun.
Fun game master the rhythm and you will have a good time.
For those complaining, it takes skill and the proper power ups to advance further into the game. We suggest: Min Damage > Combo Damage > Max Damage Don't waste time on Health, later in the game they will take you out in one or two hits anyway. Use the potion on the boss to deal devastating damage. Using this method we beat every enemy with one or two small combos max. The only change we can think of is more visual upgrades after the golden armor. As the game gets repetitive visually we think that little change would keep it interesting. Thanks for the great game.
Super fun, hard, and addicting! 5 stars.
Game is great and played for hours but due to a disagreement between us believing we hit our magic potion and the game counting it as a miss, our phone is now smashed as it was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Great game and super fun game play. Just make sure you have self control as iPhones while make a great frisbee, there is much work for Apple to do in the durability and impact department due to games like this.
To everyone complaining that it gets difficult after the first boss; what the heck are you talking about?? The difficulty increase is actually not enough if you get the correct power ups throughout the levels! Experiment with the different perks they give you every time you complete a level! This game is great we just wish there was more to it. It gets a little repetitive after about the 30th level. And we wish you added either more characters with different kinds of attacks and weapons and also added more visual upgrades to the armor! Great game otherwise.
We can't say best game ever unless it is we normally don't have a lot of games cause they're BORING however this game is challenging, fun, and overall amazing we would reccomend it to any1 literally get it.
