Can you add a sign in or save and load mechanic please.
We have purchased gems in this game and did not receive them! We love the game play just not the theft.
This game is one of the best games ever not even joking, being sarcastic or exaggerating its amazing.
Love this game! Simple and engaging! Not pay to win which we love! We have noticed that often the sub levels or hidden levels are often bugged to where the enemies dont deal almost any damage.
This is a fun game. BUT Ive been maxed out on actual gameplay stages for forever and doing the shards and adventure gets boring when theres no challenge.
This is a pretty fun game, except for the fishing. It takes the longest and has a high failure rate, if a future update made it work like the trees and stones, zero complaints here. (Update: we just fished and got not even a nibble SEVENTEEN TIMES in a row. Why?).
We would love 5to have the option to delete our save data and start all over. Currently with only one save slot we have to keep playing we feel like we messed up our stat build early on and need a new save to try a new stat build.
Been forever for some new stages.
Ok first of we love the game but we can't help but think we did something completely wrong and just didn't play right. We can't really gauge the depth of this game but ive been playing for a while now and there are still a bunch of grey rectangles that we STILL can't access. Such as, Woods, Paddock, Forest Path and some others. Im level 183 and we thought we'd be high enough by now. So am we missing something? Am we not a high enough level? Or are they just not accessible yet.
So minimal there is no there there. Didnt last 5 minutes. Uninstalled.
Easily the most fun and relax game ive ever played, no p2w, not lots of in app purchases, perfection.
With the latest version, a bug that prevents restoring previous no-ads purchase. Hope the devs solve soon.
The first game that we willingly watched a bunch of ads by choice and not because they were crammed down our throat. Its minimal but it feels like an rpg just stripped down to the essentials. Great east play on the phone.
Girlfriend and we enjoyed the stuffing out of this game, its simple and we couldnt help clicking through one more room/dungeon most of the time. Please turn up the success rate on bodies of water and we would love to see more content, we enjoyed the story and really want more content so we can where it goes.
We love this game and we love the story, when can we expect an update? We cant wait for the next part of the story.
5 out of 5 stars. Its really calm and relaxing for us. And easy. You get really happy when you defeat a boss cause its easy and nice and cozy.
Game as the title says is pretty straightforward and fun we see no issues through playing and have enjoyed this game a lot, it is clear the devs had put tlc into this game as no overbearing ads every five seconds and the battery doesnt heat up even after hours of play, the levels are fun and require strategy only real gripe is we have no clue what rcv is but we dont have any doubts that the game will explain at some point, we will update this review with any bugs we find but overall good game.
This game is OK, however grim tides is far better in our opinion. It doesnt have any purchasing options like gems. Rather it has a one time purchase for the game itself. The Artwork/UI for grim tides is also much better. We highly recommend you to check out Grim Tides if you liked this.
The game itself is fun. We love the simplicity of it and we find ourselves losing track of time playing it. That said, there are a few things mechanically that make us question whether we will be keeping this game in the long run. As you progress further, stat increases feel relatively meaningless. Levels feel less and less important at an exponential rate further ingame. Im level 154 right now at stage 24 or 25. We often find ourselves struggling to beat down enemies before they recover what Ive done. It becomes a repetitive tap this enemy a few times, wait a few seconds, tap again and hope for blocks/dodges/crits to whittle the enemy down and eventually kill it. Its a frustrating loop that ultimately slows the game down to a crawl and we feel less and less inclined to come back to it. Gear plays a more important role than stats, which isnt something we mind too much but that brings us to our next problem Gear drops. Its SO rare for us to get a piece of gear thats even slightly better than what we currently have. When we do get gear thats a bit higher than what we have equipped, its a green or a blue when we currently have purple or orange gear on. So, technically, the drops Im getting are worse once the extra stat bonuses from our higher tier items are accounted for. Its frustrating because levels are taking longer and longer to complete and Im kinda powerless about it. We grind out the memories and adventures whenever possible, but the memories are only good for resource gathering and the adventures are hit or miss for anything gear wise. We ended up having to spend crystals (earned in game, not paid for thankfully) to beat the last story level, and already our gear (the legendary gear we purchased with crystals) is tapering off. Better gear drops need to be implemented, or enemy recovery needs to be adjusted. Playing the game at our current position feels like a slog, so Im gonna take a break for a while.
Just like so many other games, this snags you with shiny bell sounds every time you tap a button to drag you in and make up for what is very simplistic near-zero-choice gameplay.
The developers of this game are true warriors of freeware. Its fun, time consuming, and actually free. We hope they have other games that people can spend money on simply to show appreciation for what they have done here.
Just finished our second full play through and now waiting for more levels. Cant wait to see what else the devs come up with.
We absolutely love this game, and going through the stages. Its really nice that the game leaves a lot to the imagination. Theres definitely improvements that could be made but we love the game for how it is now. We hope you guys continue to develop/maybe add procedurally generated levels so the stress of having to update every so often is lessened. Id be sad to see the game die without any replay able content added. You guys have our full support! Stay safe & well, love the game :).
When we played. U kinda got stuck, maybe we missed something.
First let us start off by saying we HATE mobile games. Mobile games are generic games where you can download 5 different games that play exactly the same. They also throw all the in-app purchases in your face and or make you watch tons of ads. Not this game, this game is unique, Ive never seen a game be so simple yet so addicting. Optional in-app purchases that allow you to get further quicker but thats it. You DONT need to buy anything you gain the gems naturally by playing the game. All we ask for is more of this game its addicting.
We like this game but Im not playing it anymore simply because of how egregious the price of disabling ads is.
A nice easy pace game that has a good story.
There was a point where we thought we wasnt progressing fast enough. After we got over that hurdle, it was off to the races. Very fun.
Its got a cute story line. Its also got a fun evolution of experiences. 10/10 recommend.
Its a good time consumer and its really easy to play we got stuck a few times but all the tools you need are right in front of you no matter what you can constantly play depending on what you aquire.
This game is a prefect time killer game. There are ads but not annoyingly so, not pay to play. Just a good time killer that keeps you interested. Thanks for the fun game.
The UI of this game is super smooth and satisfying to play with. M Although Im still in the early stage of the game, we really like the art and the style of it. Though we think right now the mechanics is fairly simple and straightforward, looking forward to see if theres more to it.
We played this game before we switched to iPhone, so Ive lost all our progress, but we honestly havent looked into getting it back and we actually dont mind! Its definitely not a game that makes you feel horrible for starting over, lol! If youre not a fan of Ads, theyre all optional!!! Its so hard finding addicting games that dont force Ads or make it practically a requirement for progression (we.e. Timer reduction). And when your phone struggles loading any Ads ever, this game has their Ads in negligible parts of the maps, which is absolutely phenomenal! So if you want to support the devs without watching a single Ad, you can just buy gems instead! The only thing we hope would change about the game is how Shards are handled. We have spare low level ones thats becoming a bit tedious to use up as we get stronger. We cant sell or trade them for… Idk random chance equipment? More fruits? Im sure theres better ideas that would make it worth buying all 9999 tier 2 Shards! Aside from that, its still a fun and convenient game since you dont lose progress if you exit in the middle of playing! If you have a busy schedule and you need to suddenly drop the game, youll find yourself exactly where you left off, its great.
Reminds us of a game we used to play on Kongregate when flash was still a thing. Its a much expanded version though.
Ok, so far. No annoying ads we have to pay to get rid of, An interesting story, the game always gives you what you need and doesn't make you wait for cooldown timers like "come back later now that you played for 2 minutes for another two minutes of gameplay in 12 hours!" we always hated that :/ we love the simple tap mechanics for our autism. We can focus on this and we genuinely enjoy this more then (almost) every other game on our phone. ^u^ we can't wait to see the game progress.
Looking forward to see where this is going.
Perfect rpg game , you can play this on the go , at work , and even without signal.
We love dungeon crawlers and this game has all the elements we love. The building blocks of each dungeon are so satisfying to tap through, the art is so sleek and simple, and the concept is just so novel and original. We absolutely love this game.
So far its early on but we like it we may increase or decrease as we play more. No forced ads, relaxing game experience with good loop.
Its $30 a month to get no ads, and one or two other things. Games pretty fun, but not worth that. You just tap things on the screen.
So we like this game. Its fun but when we looked to kill the ads it was 6$.. Not a problem but wait, 6$ a week?? Ouch. Ill be more then willing to pay for a one time thing but per week.. That seems a bit much.
Its good for when you want to just explore some simple dungeons and beat some stuff up. Theres a lack of detail, but thats the point.
But outside of some text adventure..pretty boring and no real changes from lvl1 to 50.
This is actually really fun for what it is. We really enjoyed it but it seems like its maxed out at level 40 and even though it says more content coming soon, nothing has happened in 8 months. So we assume its done now.
The game is super fun, but the $6 per week subscription to remove ads is unconscionably greedy. We would absolutely pay once to remove ads, but not per week. Thats ridiculous, especially since there hasnt been an actual content update in almost a year. Maybe add a steady flow of stuff and well talk.
Sweet concept. But having only an option to pay for add removal on a weekly basis is a pretty scummy thing to do. This game is fun, but definitely not worth paying $6 a WEEK for no ads.
Uhm help the game broke on level four we think Im supposed to get an axe in the level but there was none Please fix this.
It was a neat game. Making ad watching a game mechanic is something we cant stand. What a shame.
Ever since the last update the jar boxes and the chest boxes will no longer open thats what Ive noticed so far might be more hopefully there isnt and hopefully its fixed soon definitely worth five stars if its fixed.
