  • monetization
    448 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players noting an overwhelming presence of ads that often feel necessary to progress, despite being labeled as optional. While some appreciate the ability to watch ads for rewards, the sheer volume and length of these ads—often exceeding a minute—have led to frustration, with players feeling pressured to either watch ads or spend money to advance. Overall, the game is perceived as heavily leaning towards a pay-to-win model, making it difficult to enjoy without engaging with its monetization tactics.

    • “The monetization of this game kills any sustained enjoyment.”
    • “Monetization is beyond acceptable level and effort to manipulate you too obvious (you will often 'miss'-tap on object you did not want).”
    • “A copy of Hexonia and Polytopia but with a few key changes: the monetization is through the roof and you are strongly encouraged, about every 60 seconds, to pay to win.”
    • “The game ramps up the difficulty after the first area, forcing you to either pay or watch ads.”
    • “You will spend more time watching ads than you will playing the actual game.”
    • “It's a game that uses ads to play, not forced but absolutely necessary, for play and it's been removed.”
  • gameplay
    124 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its fun and engaging mechanics, reminiscent of titles like Polytopia and Hexonia. However, numerous complaints highlight issues such as excessive ads, pay-to-win elements, and a lack of meaningful progression, which detract from the overall experience. While some find the gameplay enjoyable and straightforward, others criticize it for becoming repetitive and overly reliant on monetization strategies.

    • “Entertaining gameplay, not too complex and easy to get into and progress.”
    • “Gameplay remains challenging and engaging level after level.”
    • “The gameplay itself is actually really fun.”
    • “A mobile game that overcomplicates mechanics that should be simple has probably lost sight of the point of a mobile game.”
    • “The gameplay keeps you interested for a few days until you realize it's extremely limited and one-dimensional.”
    • “The game is fun, but the progression systems are shallow and the gameplay is pretty basic and repetitive.”
  • graphics
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the unique and engaging art style, while others find it nauseating or subpar. Many appreciate the decent visuals that enhance gameplay, though issues like freezing and excessive ads detract from the overall experience. Overall, the graphics are generally considered good, but opinions vary widely on their execution and impact on gameplay.

    • “The art style is also fresh and unique, making it stand apart from other titles.”
    • “Graphics are great, and I like the RPG aspect of leveling your characters.”
    • “Terrific game... cool graphics, easy play, easy to progress... fun like a neat piece of candy in a new wrapper every time you play!”
    • “But the 3D art style is very nauseating; 'what kind of farm is that?' It looks like just lines of crap.”
    • “Constant issues with the graphics where the screen just jumps around.”
    • “Horrible graphics and slow gameplay with ads at every turn.”
  • grinding
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players frequently criticize the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it often feels excessive and is exacerbated by microtransactions that push them towards spending money to progress. Many reviews highlight a frustrating balance where the difficulty spikes significantly, making it nearly impossible to advance without extensive grinding or financial investment. While some enjoy the strategic elements and acknowledge that grinding can lead to stronger units, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction with the grind-heavy mechanics and the perceived shift towards a pay-to-win model.

    • “So unless you're willing to spend a lot of money to level up your characters quickly, you have to do a lot of grinding by replaying older levels.”
    • “There was a very clear progression, then you just hit a cliff where the enemy spawns super wizards constantly. After months of grinding to level all my units to orange and close to max level, I still can't compete with the AI in the campaign, regardless of using appropriate counter units.”
    • “The game is fun initially, but the gold growth does not keep pace with the AI health and difficulty, so eventually you can't win without spending real money or grinding gold for months.”
  • story
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with many players noting the absence of a traditional campaign or narrative structure, leading to a repetitive experience dominated by randomly generated missions. Users express a desire for a more engaging storyline, suggesting the inclusion of cutscenes and a progression system that unlocks units through a cohesive narrative. Additionally, recent updates have diminished quest rewards, further detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game's story elements.

    • “Suggestion to devs: include a story where you unlock units one by one and have a narrative to follow with cutscenes. This would really enhance the game and make it more fun and engaging to play.”
    • “But I don't mind because I found out that if you complete 6/10 of story act quests, it automatically takes you to the next act.”
    • “Pretty nice, turn-based game, allowing play even offline and no need to play PvP. I would appreciate longer missions and miss some FAQs; I do not know how to create a 'hero' during the game.”
    • “Basically, this is almost a rogue-like where there's no story or anything and just randomly generated levels.”
    • “It lacks a campaign/story mode; you get random level-based maps.”
    • “A string of nothing but campaign missions where there are no factions.”
  • stability
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent freezing during gameplay and after watching ads, leading to frustration among users. Many players report needing to restart the app multiple times due to these bugs, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game has potential, it requires urgent fixes to address these recurring problems.

    • “It gets especially irritating when it freezes after an ad.”
    • “Like the concept, but the app needs some serious work on recurring problems: 1) sometimes freezes after completing an ad, and I must close and restart.”
    • “Game loads to 76% and freezes.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some tracks being enjoyable while others feel out of place. Players appreciate the "Game of Thrones"-inspired themes, but technical issues, such as music pausing during ads, detract from the overall experience. Overall, the soundtrack is considered decent but inconsistent.

    • “Music is okay; I loved the lookalike of the game, and the tech mechanics are well balanced.”
    • “Some music tracks are fine, while others feel jarringly out of place.”
    • “It plays like a super simplified version of Civilization 5, with music inspired by Game of Thrones.”
    • “It plays like a super simplified version of Civilization 5 with music 'inspired' by Game of Thrones.”
    • “Pay to win... oversaturated with ads and 'gotcha' mechanics. Some music tracks are fine, others are jarringly out of place.”
    • “I have only background music and a black screen after the end of loading.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is mixed, with some players feeling frustrated by the imbalance in character strengths, particularly how easily mages and archers can be defeated.

    • “The emotional depth of the characters really pulls you in, making every decision feel significant.”
    • “I was genuinely moved by the storyline; it resonated with my own experiences and left a lasting impact.”
    • “The game beautifully captures the essence of human emotions, making you feel joy, sadness, and everything in between.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers high replayability, particularly for mobile, though players note that the grind increases significantly at higher levels, which may detract from the experience.

    • “The replayability is very high, though the higher you get, the grind becomes more challenging.”
    • “The replayability is very high, though the higher you get, the worse the grind becomes.”
    • “Adds more replayability than most games on mobile.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “A bit funny, but it doesn't install on every phone.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express skepticism about the game's optimization, suggesting that it may be designed to encourage purchases rather than deliver reliable performance. There are concerns about whether the game will function properly even after spending money.

    • “It probably wants to force you to buy instead, but I wouldn't trust that it would work after paying based on its performance.”
