Immerge yourself in a mysterious story…
We do not know how the Pillars were created. Some people say they are as old as the world itself, others think they were made by gods. There is no information about the Pillars of the Creation, but we all know one thing for sure: the destiny of the world is linked to them.
We discovered the truth during the Pillars War. Hundreds of thousands of unknown creatures appeared from nowhere, and attacked the Pillars of Creation. We learnt then that destroying the Pillars would mean the end of the world.
Our legends teach us the stories about brave heroes who stand up to the evil creatures, and defeat them. The legends talk about the Arcane Rings, powerful items the heroes wore, and gave them the strength to battle against their enemies.
Hundreds of years has passed since the heroes defeat the dark army, and the legends have become tales for children. Most of us started to think these legends were just good and entertaining stories, but really far away for what really happened.
However, these stories are about to become true… The evil creatures have returned…
There is a war coming, but the old heroes are gone, and nobody remembers how to craft Arcane Rings again…
But there is still hope. Our most ancient song talks about a powerful summoner who protects the world, one that can bring the heroes back, and forge Arcane Rings again.
This Roleplaying game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Nothing special here, its a collecting heroes game, but this one is better than most.
Game wont start. It goes to the title screen,it says Loading,but does nothing after that.
This game has promise but is very buggy. We often have to reload it. It doesnt deliver on promised daily, weekly, or monthly rewards. We were hoping a long-promised update would fix these problems but it hasnt. And now items disappear and you have to reload the game to get them back.
We love this game because it has monsters in it and they have elements like fire water and other cool elements like darkness and other things thats why we like this game.
If the developers sink more time into this game it has potential to see incredible growth. Great gameplay mechanics and graphics. A few bugs here and there but it shores up that flaw in what it offers in gameplay. Really love it so far. Looking forward to seeing what the devs do with this in the future.
Enjoying this game a lot so far. It would be nice if you guys added in where we could visit our friends island to check out there Heroes. And to be able to use friends heroes to help each other. And some little things like that. Excited for the progress for the steady development of this game.
We honestly downloaded this game expecting it to be a pass time and now Im practically addicted to it.
Just add some more characters to it so theres more variety.
The game is great, and better then other games we played as this one. Few things that need to be improved are 1) accepting all mails with one click 2) daily rewards need to be added 3) more chances of getting higher level rings 4) adding people straight from chat Thats about it.
Game feels good. Characters are cool. Def a mini summoners of war with a pretty gnarly paywall. It would take longer then f2p players on Summoners wars to get anywhere in this game for sure.
Our old review is gone..anyway this game seems great, dont need to spend any money to get heroes, but this game is a grind. Be warned! There are some things that need to be looked at in the future such as: Adding friends Fixing chat replies Tower explanations The game is still new so things are to be expected we havent had any technical issues with the game so far. -iphone7+ user.
The game is ok in its basic form but having had played a game like onmyoji which is quite similar its hard to not see the glaring faults present in this one. In no particular order: 1. Implement the ability to summon more than one unit at a time, especially when you give out 30 of the basic runes several times 2. The usage of repeated models is disappointing. If having multiple elements caused this to be needed, just don't have multiple elements 3. The hero item system (or whatever its called) seems unneeded? Why cant you just level up any stat? By having different preset stats it just makes it seem like an unneeded extra hurdle to progress through rather than working as a build (Possibly more to be added later).
We liked the idea of the game and played it for 4 or 5 days trying to get a 4 star or 5 star hero. We never got one. They are the only strategy related heroes so we had a bunch of boring characters. Basically wont let you play the game for its enjoyable characters unless you spend money.
So this game is actually pretty decent at face value. Good graphics, straight forward but strategic combat. But tell us why on our first 10 roll of premium runes, we get the exact same hero? 8/10, the exact same person. We get it. Its a newer game, not as many champions (less than 20 if you dont count for different elements). But thats ridiculous. Immediately uninstalled, might pick up again in a year or so when theres a decent pool variety.
For some reason whenever we try to download this game, it wont load. We can open up the app but it wont load. Its very frustrating! If anyone can help, please help.
The game is super super buggy. We got frozen on three separate occasions: first battle, after we won, it didnt move on so we had to restart it; two different times summoning, the character never showed up and just stalled on the summoning. Im running iPhone X. There shouldnt be a problem. Hopefully they fix it.
So many typos in the game. Lots of lag. Abilities dont work on certain heroes. Very bad drop rate. Not much to do in the game. Bugs everywhere in the game. Seems like a pre beta version that they put out for money. Could have been a fun game with more stuff to do and fixed all the bugs.
We have no idea why this game can be so glitches. Always stuck on summer page and one time, we didnt even get anything after use our platinum light& dark rune. Also couple time after first duel in arena, nothing would happen when you click anywhere! Do you guys really have developers working on addressing the issue? Now we cant fight the arena, we cant fight the dungeon, basically we cant do anything in the game now. We want our money refunded. Such a horrible game. Not to mention, if you are drawing the rune meanwhile open the chatting tab, it glitches too. Have you guys really tested this game before you lunched it? Purely awesome experience.
We have a new iPhone and it doesnt run. It loads the first page and then no touch screen operations work.
Horribly slow leveling and an appalling power curve meet unlistenable music and sound effects and a roster of characters that are 80% palette swaps, lending the game a cynical, no-effort feel. A great case for legislation of gatcha-style games, if nothing else.
Just giving a 1 star because the game is actually unplayable for us. It keeps showing the beginners deal and nothing we do makes it go away because it doesnt recognize our touch. For the first time we tried today, however, the ad didnt appear, which means we can play the game, right? Wrong. We can drag our finger and turn the island, but can not press any button (we.e heroes tab, campaign, tower, shop, etc.) we will update this review with 5 stars if fixed, because it was a really fun game IMO.
Worse than summoners war , graphics are great tho.
Looks like an interesting game but says loading but doesnt load? Tried like 5 times delete redownload still wont load.
The game freezes a lot. Packages cost too much especially when you have to restart constantly. Needs work but has potential.
What a waste… 40% of our summons have been 1/90 heroes Gaia.. And 75% of all summons are these Valkyries. Even when you 5* the heroes and cant get any more shards you still pull heroes you cant use and dont get the shards. Contacted Devs and they have not responded to these issues.
All of these characters look exactly same, only different elements smh. You should fix these characters into unique characters.
This game has all appropriate things you would expect as well as what is needed to be successful in this genre. Some things still to be flushed out but we are enjoying so far. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy other hero collecting games. Only complaint would be how we noticed premium currency is a bit more pricy then comparable games.
The game so far fun!!! It has a A lot of potential and we can build up to one of the best games we play on mobile in time so download it now and help the game get bigger you wont be displeased.
We played is game for about 4 hours and it crashed 10 times. There are also points where there is lag and frame rate drops. That being said it's not enough to out weigh the fun in this game. We just hope they fix that at some point.
Pros: Graphics Gameplay soundtrack obtaining heroes concept Cons: Lots of recolored heroes (this outweighs most of the pros imo) level 3s are useless so theres technically like 45 heroes everyone cares about. Give them a reason why we should use the lower levels.
We've only played the game for a couple hours and so far it's quite a great game! Great graphics and smooth gameplay. Just don't know if it's a cash grab quite yet but we really hope not. So far though wouldent mind spending a couple dollars on it but we don't want to pay to win as we're sure most people feel the same. Staying hopeful.
The graphics not good. It like there stuck in the 90s. Gameplay was ok. Did not have enough to keep us playing.
Within the first 15 minutes of playing you realize you arent going to get anywhere in this game unless you put TONS OF MONEY INTO THE GAME.
