I've only played a day, and I'm already seeing issues. The game seems to be truly random, so you can start your first fight without the ability to buy weapons, and 30% probability actions can go 10 rounds with no procs. The game also gets immensely hard as you near filling all stars for a run, as only the builds that have gotten lucky with drops are left. At least make the drops favor the hero you've selected, I'm tired of getting 80% mana items on an energy hero.

Pros : no forced ads, daily quest for those who loves grinding, simple yet complex (many combos and item placement). Cons : NO TUTORIAL. After more areas unlocked, it becomes difficult to get items you need, heavily dependent on luck. Maybe a gradually bigger store?? Unique items will make or break your game. Some chars only have one or two combos to get 15 wins, so if you miss that one item, it's a guaranteed defeat. Last one, this game eats a lot of battery!!

Fun game, had my characters relatively decently leveled. After the last update I was mid-fight and went out of the app to take care of something urgent. I went back in and was back at the main menu. None of the buttons worked so I closed out and restarted multiple times. Nothing seemed to work so I un-installed and reinstalled and lost all of my data. This is horrendous for UX. I've spent probably 40 hour so hours on leveling the account for it to be lost to something as so stupid.

Came back to this game to find it now has audio (which it should have had to begin with) which sometimes bugs out and doesnt play when you win a round. The game has also become super unbalanced and some how even more frustrating then before. The new character "Buzz" in perticular feels way too strong as i kept getting destroyed by him. It also feels much harder to climb as i cant seem to escape ruby rank no matter how hard i try. Also when i came back all my progress from before was gone.

The game itself is fantastic. There's more than enough variety with the characters even if you don't have them all unlocked. The few bucks immediately unlocks so much more play time and I enjoy all of them, even if they're normally not my "style." My one complaint is I despise subscriptions in Mobile games. With how easy they are to forget (~85% of people have at least one subscription they've forgotten) I can't condone it. Making the ad removal a one time purchase would make this game 5/5

Ok. Game will need some changes in the near future. Have played this for a few days got my fav classes to lvl 7. Quests are too hard, the craft 20 items in one game being impossible almost. Rewards - quest rewards are not good enough. - you've introduced a subscription which is too expensive for what it provides, too early for a membership. - rank should give weekly rewards depending on how high you managed to climb the ladder. Content - missing, 0 socials, 0 events.

Addictive and great game! Simple and yet it needs a strategic placements... But there's still room for improvement : 1. Batery draining problem (batery usage likely equal to a MOBA type of games), 2. Switching for greater bagpack is a hassle, we need to remove items in the bag(s) first 3. When we still have little filled slots, adds a turn button (clockwise and counter clockwise). For easier moving all of the items and bags Thank you for the great game!

Looks simple at first...but is actually semi-complex... I tend to try and run a "rat build" where each rat buffs another rat. But you need to chose between what kinda rats, daggers (at they are 0 mana weapons so good to spam, but weak) or more space. Unlike most games that have this cartoon style, this also feels like you can actually choose and progress. Would totally recommend 👌

For someone who is as busy as myself this game and the ease of use it offers is amazing the gameplay is simple but gets more involved as it goes on in rounds the items are fun and have a good range of synergies that you can make into fun builds, only thing I would ask for would be an option to watch adds to speed up the chests as when there full you can collect more other than that it's a fun, quick and interesting little game.

Finally, a fun game! The gameplay feels smoothe, there are a lot of mechanics to explore and master. There is a clear way to advance free to play, no forced ads, but the option to watch ads to get ahead slightly. The game has a lot of possible strategies that can become truly strong. The fact that there is an element of luck makes that interesting as you never know what build you will have to settle for. I would love other modes added with infinite rounds against predetermined levels or such. :)

This Roguelite game play is fun. No forced ads is a great feature but it's held back by the subscription feature to get rid of the other ads. The $9.99 a month is entirety way to much in my opinion. A price point of $2.99 for the content it provides is more fitting. The F2P is viable though, so playing and not paying is the way to go here. It only suffers in higher ranks where the paid gap becomes more clear, but not overwhelmingly so.
