This is how its done. Seriously.
Surprisingly deep for such a simple game. Did a stint in the hospital recently and it came in clutch. Awesome little game.
About 8 hours of grinding for a first win. The attributes of items with a sort of emergent alchemy, along with hidden game mechanics like hit-frequency builds versus power-strike builds versus self-healing builds, make the gameplay fun.
We enjoyed it. We wish there was a paid version with more levels after the 100 floors. But still we really liked it. Plus the 8bit song reminds us so much of megaman. There were Popup ads every once in a while after dying but nothing we dont mind sitting through.
Ads are non intrusive which is what makes it 5 stars. Try it out, Im glad we did.
We are almost always off our phone at work but when we take our barrack this is the game we would play if we dont go on TikTok lol we have not played that much of the game but we do wish to see this grow and be better Ps we dont really pay for in game things but if this game comes out with some we might look at them.
Surprised to see an actual free game of high quality. Very enjoyable.
We love the different characters and that their abilities stack if you master it with them. Its a simple and great game.
Really fun, love the game. Only complaint is that on an iPhone SE, the top status bar obscures some buttons like auto-run, really difficult to see/press.
This game is completely free to play and a great little idle waster. We would honestly pay a few dollars for some additional characters and more dungeons, a great little game.
This game is so good! Like all of the other games by this developer, this one is pure gold. If you like power loops, and simple gameplay to mindlessly dink around with when youre all out of brain juice, this one hits the spot nicely. Well done.
No microtransactions. Minimum ads. This is a fun little rougelite that only requires to hold down a tap in the left or right side of your screen. Its so simple yet Ive enjoyed every moment of it. Mindless mobile gaming at its finest.
We had a great time mastering every class, and we love how each mastered class grants you their ability to all other classes. There's a good variety of weapons and shields for different playstyles, but we do wish there were more. At the end of the day we usually settled on Death's Scythe or Devil Hammer for most runs, when we found them. Ads are minimal and non-intrusive, but we do wish we could pay a few dollars to remove them. We found ourselves accidentally tapping the banner ad at the bottom from time to time, which was a minor annoyance. We were a little disappointed that nothing happened after mastering all of the classes. We were hoping for a secret class, a new boss, a new game mode, or even just a congratulations, but there was nothing. Still, the game deserves 5 stars from us. It seems like it was made by a solo developer, who we think did a stellar job. We'll definitely be checking out more of their Minute series.
This is a very cute, very simple game that knows what it is trying to do and does only that thing very well. Exactly what a mobile game should be! Id love an option to pay a few bucks to get rid of ads though. Theyre not disruptive, but Id love to get rid of them.
Really fun game, easy to pick up and put down. Good leveling system and merchant mechanics.
Its a great rogue like game that takes a while for you to finish but the variety in characters and monsters is really cool. This game is also an amazing pass time but in total its a great game :).
It was fun but not for us everything was great but its not the type of game we like.
Just what we need to relax and zone out. Maybe a guide for what all the symbols mean, but loved playing.
We just started playing this game earlier today and we love it except for one thing when fighting bosses we keep reapproaching to early before they do there little hop back and then despite having dodged the attack we get hit anyway and then having to leave the boss because Im about to die and this is a common thing to not just one off still overall a great game this is just irratating.
The best game ever made. Dont tell us free fun isnt great.
The scourge of mobile games are the pay to win and pay walls. This game has none of that. Great retro rpg /rogue like that is very fun.
It accomplishes everything that was promised, fun and simple.
We like this game. Its fun and short. You level quickly and learn what jobs you learn. This is just right depends what class you do.
We like this game. Gotta give up or die to unlock jobs though. No real reward for progressing levels and at a certain point you almost have to push everything into vitality to survive. Just over level 450 with our second job. Gets repetitive about that point.
Make a auto buy options for potions and parts.
This game is great. Id pay to get rid of the ads though. Five stars if no ads.
Great little time sink and has a very repeatable core loop, but it would be nice to see more mastery ranks, more complexity in floors past the main end boss.
On 15 Pro, Im not sure if it is just a visual glitch or if theres actually a top row of information missing. Would like an auto-move so we dont have to touch the screen constantly. We also want to be able to see attack rate of weapons. However the last update was a year ago so not likely to get any new changes. Other than that Ive enjoyed it.
As you get to higher lvls the items should get a lil better but all in all awesome time killer but idk about minute rogue more like hour or two rogue easily.
It is not a bad game could use some tweaks ads are not really as bad as we have seen in other apps if you just learn not to die then no ads lol it could really use a lock in option because you will have to keep one hand on the screen to keep moving so if you plan on playing in your lunch break or something similar you need to be able to eat with one hand to keep moving just needs some minor tweaks needs an auto play feature a ad block option wouldnt be bad but also the ads only pop up when you die so just dont die is an option lol they are mostly 5 seconds and you can skip which is a good thing.
So we have found that we keep missing the weapon rooms. Because we can not turn auto off fast enough. Could you add something that could turn it off when you get to the weapon room? That is all we love everything else about this game its fun and addicting nothing else can be said.
Is there an actual point to this grinding? 150 levels in. Its just the same thing. Over and over no instructions really hurts this game.
Every other time you die, you have to watch an ad Other than that fun game.
We rather pay 30$ for the game than see ads. Have an unlock please.
The gameplay is entertaining but there are just too many ads that literally have no way of closing that force a full reset of the game. Ads are understandable but if they make the game unplayable we cant waste time on the game.
Was a neat fun game until we were forced to watch ads. Having ads in your game is fine but forceing user to watch ads is not fine.
This game deserves so much more notoriety and love than we have seen. The game has a lot of hidden depth when it comes to mastering a class, with each class you get to 100F (without class swapping) that skill carries to every other one. We love the werewolf with its VIT Counter Attack. Id prioritize Knight, Thief, and Werewolf for their awesome skills. Ive had a ton of fun exploring which stats are most fun for each class, and which ones we want to master in order. Ive seen other reviews complain about wanting a tutorial but its obvious they never read the help button at the title page. The game is free, the required ads are skippable after only 5 seconds, and you can use an ad break to reset your stat points for easy testing or to unlock slots.
Tap, kill, plunder, loot, grow. All in one finger. The graphics and sound are great, also.
This is a great game, though it gets repetitive quite fast. After you beat level 100 and the final boss, the monsters and levels pretty much repeat after that. That is the endless mode. Originally we liked seeing all the different biomes and different monsters but after level 100, seeing the same stuff over and over again, its not as fun. Even the weapons/shields repeat after a while. We also feel like there are some basic mechanics of the game that are missing. When you attack a monster, you can click on the info button to see its health and attack and what elements are strong/weak against it. But you cannot see what buffs it would give you if you recruited it as a pet. So the only way to see what buffs a particular monster pet gives you, youd have to be lucky enough to recruit it as a pet. Which is redundant and ridiculously time consuming. There is also no fan made wiki of the game so you cant just look it up either. We think there should also be some kind of collectors/achievements aspect to the game. Defeat this many of this monster and get this much coin or permanently unlock this buff or whatever. Maybe Play the game for this long and get this. Something like that. Players can try to collect all of the different weapons and shields and view them in some kind of collectors book in the game. That can also be part of the achievements like Collect this group of weapons/shields and get this. Weapons/shields deteriorate over time with each kill and each attack. But there are some weapons/shields that work SO well with our character that we wish to keep them for the entire game. But unfortunately since they deteriorate and theres no way to restore them, youre forced to buy other weapons/shields. So we think it would be beneficial to have some kind of weapon smith in the shop where you can repair your weapon/armor for a coin fee. Maybe even be able to craft special weapons/armor through certain monster drops or just unlocking them to buy with coins through gaining certain achievements. There is no tutorial. We had no idea how to get Kings Coins and we just watched ads to unlock characters. Turns out if you just Give up it takes you back to camp and the coins are stored at camp as Kings Coins. We didnt know that and the game never explained it. We knew that youre supposed to tap the left or right side of the screen to move but we didnt know how to attack. We found that if we held our finger down on one side, our character would attack on that side at a certain speed. But what we didnt know was that if we tapped really fast, we could also attack really fast. The game never told us that either. This game needs a tutorial. The stats of the characters INCLUDE stats of any weapons or shields they may be holding which we feel is a tad misleading because the Vampire is said to have 4 blood sucking when in reality he only has 2 blood sucking because the other 2 blood sucking comes from his weapon that deteriorates as the game goes on. So we feel like that shouldnt be a part of the base character stats when choosing what character to go through the dungeon with. Or at least show on the screen the stats of the character and the weapon and shield so nobody is confused. We feel like the character stats matter more because the weapon and shield deteriorate anyway and you have to buy other stuff. So nobody is really looking at that when choosing a character. Theres no pop up ads in this game which we appreciate. Theres a small banner ad at the bottom but honestly before we started writing this review we didnt even know it was there. You also have the option of watching ads to unlock certain characters to go through the dungeon as. But nothing intrusive or annoying during gameplay. We realize considering the last update to the game was 5 months ago, this game probably isnt going to be updated anymore. But we still think it has a lot of potential.
Its a fun little game great for killing a little time.
This game is a gem we love the game as it is yes but imagine the possibilities of what you could add to this game kind of a little disappointed that floor 100 was the end and then it just repeats from level 1 into level 101 same monsters but again still love it please add more things to do like event dungeons more monsters a sort of shop to use coins on instead of just to unlock characters we mean no lie anyone who plays this just collect 3500 coins we believe and bam vampire will clear you for a long run with his life heal he is op to max.
Simple but fun, just long enough to not feel overly repetitive.
No option to disable ads. Amazing otherwise.
The game offers job masteries, but doesn't explain how to obtain said masteries or if you can have multiple mastery skills. So far we have the thief mastery skill but don't know how we obtained it or if other classes can use it.
Hyper frequent ads ruin the game and always on ads even make the UI run off the top of the screen. Game would probably be fun if you could play it.
This devs stuff is always great.
What another great game. Only one complaint: too short. We want more. We are sure moitititi is working on it.
So this game has you swap between various jobs to earn coins, defeat bosses, and progress through a dungeon. However it seems a bit too random for the stat relocation event to occur and there is no pay to turn off ads availability either, which makes it a bit of a drag seeing as how randomly when you die or return to spawn you are shown an ad (which is rather frequent later on), and to activate certain events you also have to watch an ad (free cleared floor skips and stat relocation).
Took us about a week of on and off playing to beat it the first time, but as per the credits, we're far from done. Definitely recommend it, it's a fun time killer :).
One of the best games Ive ever played. The leveling and upgrading is not grindy and is quite fast. There is no p2w items. In fact there is nothing to pay for at all! Our only complaints are that the game is too short and we want to play more!!! This developer is so good.
