I was having a blast until I hit level 4. Now 99% of my fights are against people with items I've never seen, let alone have access to. People with 90 armor and 3 different weapons when I have access to only a shield and wrench. It's near impossible to make any kind of progress like this. Otherwise I love the gameplay and aesthetic and I don't even think the ads get in the way.

It's a good game, original concept...but without the multiplayer aspect, what are we even playing for?...it just becomes sad and redundant...cos no matter how good or bad ur strategy is, the algorithm always adjusts to that and the outcome is always averaged...there is no human aspect, where you can come up with certain strategies and pitch them up against real players to find out how they fare...all in all, a good concept but doesn't achieve anything sadly...😒

Day 2 player here. The game is hella fun with huge variety of builds to experiment with! It's quite timegated though but it gives some sense of progression, and allows players to focus levelling on the preferred builds. However, the choice of card is still somehwat random. Suggestion to the dev: Implement some mechanics to let players narrow down on the choice of cards obtainable from chests. Thanks for reading.

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!

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

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.

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.

Probably didn't give it a fair shot, but i started, went straight into the tutorial with the first hero. Filled my bag with stuff, lost due to unexplained reasons, accidentally clicked a button to watch an ad because it's so obnoxiously placed, closed the app and then just uninstalled it because it was such a poor first experience. To be honest the combat was so automated that I don't think i would have enjoyed it. I like actual strategy.

I know there are some negative comments about the game, but for me I think it's a great game. Very addictive. I like the randomness of what the shop has, what your opponent has etc. I love that you can keep on playing, no waiting for energy to replenish. You might think "My opponent has loads of armour, I've lost", but with buffs, debuffs, thought and planning, you can still win. Strategic, tactical, fun and simple. Love it.
