Community Insight:
The game is absolutely, could play forever. Our only issue is that annoyingly with an iphone xr you have absolutely no idea on the amount of gems you have, and when accessing your inventory its pauses the game (which really doesnt even bother us) we just wanna know how many gems we got.
It's too good guys, we just wish we have Idle sword 3 . Love u guys, u guys make a great game so far.
We really enjoy the early stages – currently ascension lvl 8 haha.
When we first played the game it was the actual first one and it was on armor games.com and we had loved the game then they took it off of the website. So we were really sad and we were trying to find ways to play and then we go on the App Store we dont see the first one but we do see the second one. So we started playing it and this is only the second day we had it and it is AWESOME not better mainly because of the fact that you cant have all 4 people on a team but that is it.
Great game to visit once in awhile.
Just needs to be optimized for iPhone x.
Its a really good recreation of the kongregate original.
An all around good game needs a little work but overall a great game we would love a third one or more areas it's just to fun.
So Ive been in love with the game since the original one came out we even still have it installed and we love it keep up the good work love the game.
We love this game so much. We want to level up our characters and our god hand and balancing souls bound gear so the next ascension is a little easier. Loads of fun. But we cant take things off the bottom row of our inventory without switching apps. And this is irritating. Move the inventory box up a bit off the bottom of the screen and youve got yourself a 5/5.
We need an update Ive been playing this game for like 2 years we love it but we wish there was something new like a dungeon or anything new would make it more fun.
For whatever reason the game does not fit our phone well and as a result when we have to click inventory it thinks im exiting the app and when we try to drag an item to a character it will not work.
We were playing it and clicked delete save after almost a month of progress and raged then deleted it, we reinstalled it after a few months, because it was a lot of fun honestly, on a different phone, and our purchases are gone and we cant get them back, they keep saying to buy it again.
Pleaseeeee update this to the newer iOS because newer iPhone users have the notch and its hard to click on in the left corner. Other than that its a fantastic game.
We love this game and havent found ourselves so addicted to a game like this one! If you could fix the issues with the iPhone X that would be awesome though! Its annoying when we have to look at the inventory and we accidentally close out of the game or whatever. Other than that we love the game. Honestly no complaints other than the IPhone X not really being the easiest to navigate the game with. Thank you for such a solid game.
Screen bounds cut off w iphone X.
We love this game! Please fix the IOS layout issue – the game info runs off the screen and we cannot read how many gems we have. We also cannot open the inventory without it closing the app.
Great game so far, one of those good distractions that pull you in enough to allow you to speed up reality. Our only issues at the interface being so close to the borders that it cuts out if you have a phone with a notch or a swipe up home button. Accessing any of the UI elements near the top or bottom is a constant fight with interacting with the iPhone features that use up those spots. Best example is when you try to interact with the inventory, we always would end up touching the Home Screen button and the game would pause because we have gone out of the game technically. We can never see how many gems we have due to the notch of our iPhone. We end up just feeling things to access the bottom row of our inventory and thats if we can open it with out touching the Home Screen button. Overall great game just needs to be more device friendly.
We dont like the game… Sorry.
We love the game overall but its not compatible with the iPhone X. The in game screen is too big so some buttons we cannot see nor press. Its becomes a huge issue when trying to just change equipment when it puts the game to pause. Can you please fix this? Game is great to say. First of the kind we have played.
We need a restore purchase option.
If you have a phone with the top bar, menus and text are obscured. Makes the game largely unplayable.
We paid $15 to REMOVE ADS and another $5 to unlock the last dungeon. We invested $20 into this game because it works very well with a stylus, which we use because of severe arthritis. For $20, we should be able to bypass ads for bonuses. We paid to remove ads and it wasnt cheap. Iron horse needs to come back to this game and add RESTORE PURCHASES and REMOVE ALL ADS FOR BONUSES when the $15 package has been purchased. Then we will raise to 5 stars. Beware if you buy anything. There is no way to recover it if you have to change phones. We would search for the original Idle Sword and try that before investing in this one. The first one has the real indie game feel, where this one has been revamped for maximum monetization.
Game isnt set up for full screen. Some selections are just out of reach and other part of the UI is cut off.
But the screen extends beyond the boundaries of our device. It needs more optimizations bc its half unplayable in this state.
This game is very well made, well, except for iphone X. PLEASE optimize then it'd be a 5 star game EASY.
This game is not optimized for iPhone X. Most text and info is blocked. If this if fixed, then this could be a 4 or 5 star idle game.
We lobe this game but one boss is incorrectly named, the Beholder is actually a subspecies of beholder in D&D called a Death Tyrant.
This would go big in the Xbox free market.
Its a fun little game while waiting to do something. Our only question is, what does gods hand do? We have it at level 67 and unsure of what it does. Could you let us know please? This game doesnt really take a lot of time at all to figure out the basics. Raid dungeon Tap to heal your characters Tap to damage enemies Put on gear to increase health/damage/attack speed (what we mainly focus on) Upgrade Gods hand (even though Im unsure of what it does) but thats the only thing gold goes into that we know of. Just keep raiding and raiding or stay out of app for a little while and itll gather you some gold and a little bit of armor. Overall a good game! Only tip is to get a little helping tool to click on to describe what things do.
The game has increased difficulty due to reduced party members from 4 to 3, the ads prompt you to crash at loading, and only fixed through restarting.
The game freezes after watching the ads for any benefits and the layout doesnt fit the iPhone X please fix. Thats whats keeping us from giving it 5 stars q.q.
As has been said in prior reviews, watching an ad causes the game to become unplayable due to a splash screen that doesnt and cant be closed. On resetting, any progress since you last opted to save progress will be lost. Saving prior to watching an ad should be a thing players have to be concerned about. The other issue is the decision not to add a spacer bar at the top when the game is run on an iPhone X. As it stands, the top several lines of text are blocked by the notch, divet, whatever its called. Fix those two things and it seems like the game would easily be 5 stars.
Ever time we get a ad the game stop working for 10 to 30mins we hope that get fix.
This is nothing like the first idle sword. Its a total F2P nightmare. Makes us sad.
Stupit forced ad after leaving a dungeon freezes the game every time.
