Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
PvP system is completely broken, this is a p2w game that isnt remotely enjoyable. They have so much work to do. Save yourself the time and find another game.
Love the events and earn real prizes.
Only played for a couple days now but we like what we see! Check it out.
Great game. Good story. Good UI. Im happy to be playing.
We love that Im not wasting money in this game! We get to actually own something.
DragonStrike a match 3 game has that extra level of strategy CC doesnt. Leveling up heroes to do extra damage, tournaments etc. Totally addicting and fun.
It is a really fun game but it does take time and you need to start with the basic heroes at the basic levels and move up.
This game from the beginning grabbed our attention. Its so much fun and easy to get obsessed with the heros and leveling up. Gala bout to make this game even better! Also meow match too! 5/5 this game is the best tho.
Honestly easy play. Im still early game and its fun for whats its worth. We can easily see our self as a heavy competitor or casual gamer in this one.
Decent game. Leveling up a hero to mint as an NFT. Gala game has took over this game.
Fun, addictive, easy to play. The In-game assets are really cool. Its so fun raising our own hero.
Given the $$$$ the developers must be raking in, youd think theyd be able to carve out some time to actually add some new content/characters. Right now they just feel like a bunch of wealthy absentee landlords. How bout a little player engagement, guys.
Ive played this game and spent money because it is not wasted like an arcade game. You invest to make it better. These producers collected money and still take money despite they are shutting down. As far as we are concerned, they stole hundreds of dollars from us and should refund our money or be prosecuted. Well we guess when you are in another country you must feel protected and not fear legal repercussions. PATHETIC. YOU ALL SHOULD FEEL ASHAMED.
Very well put together. Just a little slow in getting items but still enjoying game.
More polished than most similar games.
Kid like cartoons and easy to play.
Good graphics and the game runs buttery smooth so good job on that. Some things that need improvement. First, the tutorial is way too long. Second, max energy is too low. 15 energy doesnt last you very long. So even though its a great game, we end up not being able to play it very much and the fun is over just as it begins. Update: ok this game went from super easy to super hard real quick. Essentially forcing you to pay for stuff to advance unless u wanna wait for weeks racking up stone or elixir or daily summons.
You cant get good levels even when you spend $$ for mats Unless you spend literally hundreds of dollars to advance one card. Could be a good game but pure GREED driven.
So this game is decent. We like the aesthetics and the overall gameplay. However, we feel like you have to wait forever to get resources. Pretty spotty on getting the promotion mats for some event heroes too. Every thing is lootable but its also buyable and the drop rates feel pretty low. You have to wait to train with even basic troops because the training costs are so high. Not only that but even the materials for one star hero training (daggers) are not even common to find. There is no clear loot table with drop rates to help players know where to farm. If you end up unlucky as a free to play person, youll be easily frustrated with the halt of progression.
Your just getting riped off Youll get nowhere There is no help we need a 5 star we give it a 1 star 100 bucks is all you can do Im disappointed.
The change to the abilities is way way way overpowered, we battled a person 2000 power lower than us and never got close to killing one of the characters. Def up, Health heal and Off up is way way way overpowered especially when all together.
Move the combo tag somewhere. We cant see if our heroes mana are full.
We are addicted. We love this game. Combines the best of both worlds.
Challenging and great with friends.
Good blend of Puzzle and RPG elements. Pretty fun with the weekend events with our guild who are all active too.
More fun and more to do than similar games.
The characters look super cool! We were instantly drawn into the game world.
Very solid game. There are mechanics in place that make it possible for a good three star team to annihilate a four and five star team. Fun events offer decent rewards. Pretty good deals in the shop if you wanna pay a bit too! Improvements: elixir – need elixir for pretty much everything and you never seem to produce enough fast enough to keep things moving decently. Leveling- please oh please change it so that heroes gain exp in campaign, events, and arena. That would make a lot of players happy. Doesnt have to be a huge amount, but just something! Overall, a nice new game! Keep it up! Ill be playing for awhile. Even longer if you listen to your players.
Every time we go for an arena bout it load for two seconds and then it disconnects.
Move 1 gem, up/down or left/right. Will we ever go beyond this in gem matching games.
We love the cool base-building aspects (even though the waiting times become long) and the art style. This game is a really cool mixture of concepts. However, the auto-play function makes this game feel absolutely pointless to play. The auto-play actually makes pretty smart matches, thus defeating the purpose of even wanting to play a puzzle game. Very disappointed.
Tried installing it twice. Wasteof time.
Keep getting screwed over with only 1 gem combos. And the gem field is too small to plan any moves. And leveling up dose not help that much when we only get 1 gem combos.
Only game on our phone that cant stay connected.
The do this now do that now do this now do that tutorial is at least 45 minutes long. Why am we even part of this? Just make a movie.
Another monetization scheme masquerading as a game, timers and bars everywhere, cost of summons vs what you get from rewards is just hilariously bad. Who is this game even for, you can literally find dozens of games like this on the app store.
It looks like it could be good but right now we can't tell we give it a -1.
Now on stage 4-1 and Ive only looted 1 sword to recruit a hero with. Why is the drop rate on an item to recruit common heroes so low? They hand them out like candy in empires and puzzles! Obvious money trap is obvious; with no fodder to level up your heroes, youll be steered towards the shop in no time! Stay away and play Empires and Puzzles instead. Much more generous.
Im stuck on the loading screen.
