  • monetization
    634 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game is heavily criticized for its reliance on ads, with many players reporting that significant progress is only achievable through watching numerous lengthy ads or making in-app purchases. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the overwhelming frequency and duration of these ads—often exceeding 60 seconds—create a frustrating experience, leading to a perception of the game as a "cash grab." Additionally, there is no option to permanently remove ads, further exacerbating player dissatisfaction.

    • “Really liked the game, no ads interrupting you during gameplay unless you choose to.”
    • “No ads unless you choose to progress quicker is genuinely so nice.”
    • “Pretty good, no ads unless for rewards, so it's fun.”
    • “You will spend 2x-3x more time watching ads rather than playing the game.”
    • “The game is designed to empty your wallet and spend more time watching ads than playing the actual game.”
    • “You can't even remove ads permanently.”
  • gameplay
    56 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this game is characterized by a mix of enjoyable mechanics and significant interruptions from ads, leading to a frustrating experience for many players. While some users appreciate the initial fun and unique ideas, the overwhelming presence of ads and the slow progression after a few levels detract from the overall enjoyment, making it feel more like a vehicle for ad revenue than a fully engaging game. Many reviews highlight that without spending money or watching excessive ads, the gameplay becomes tedious and unfulfilling.

    • “This game has no forced ads and has some cool gameplay ideas.”
    • “Really liked the game, no ads interrupting you during gameplay unless you choose to.”
    • “The gameplay is designed for you to watch every ad pop-up when there is one.”
    • “Core components of gameplay are controlled by ads.”
    • “Don't bother, after a week of gameplay, progress slows to an impossible crawl, even when spending some money.”
    • “The gameplay is designed for you to watch every ad pop-up, when there is one.”
  • stability
    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent freezes, especially when attempting to open chests or upgrade features. Many players describe it as a "buggy mess," with glitches that disrupt gameplay and lead to lost progress. Overall, the game's stability issues significantly detract from the experience, making it frustrating for many users.

    • “The game also freezes any time I try to open a chest and undoes all of my progress on the weekly board after I close and reopen the app.”
    • “I'm sick of reaching out to support and the game freezes constantly.”
    • “Cannot link Google account and I know I'm not the only one, as well there is an audio bug where multiple audio tracks play simultaneously and a number of GUI bugs that softlock you until you clear cache and restart. Overall it's a fun concept but a buggy mess with no way to save your progress by linking it to a Google account.”
  • story
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally well-received, with players enjoying the unique premise of being a blacksmith for heroes and eventually joining the fight against monsters. However, many users report significant bugs and issues with quest progression, which detracts from the overall experience and leads to frustration, particularly for free-to-play players. While the storyline has potential and features engaging characters, the frequent technical problems and grindy mechanics hinder its development and enjoyment.

    • “The storyline is pretty cool and I was going to see how much better it gets later on in the game!”
    • “Really fun story and characters.”
    • “The main story has kind of fallen off.”
    • “The story just up and vanishes while at the same time, progress grinds to a complete halt.”
    • “There is no storyline or anything other than as a repetitive time killer.”
  • music
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features a variety of themes for different sections, which players generally appreciate; however, there are significant issues with overlapping tracks and persistent music that continues to play even after toggling it off. Many users report bugs where arena music gets stuck in a loop, leading to an irritating mix of sounds, particularly when transitioning between areas. While some find the music enjoyable, the overall experience is marred by these technical problems and a lack of effective sound controls.

    • “There is different background theme song for every section of the game, which is cool.”
    • “Nice music and a decent story line.”
    • “Very soothing and just a game to twiddle your fingers and listen to music to!”
    • “Arena music doesn't stop after leaving the arena.”
    • “The toggle music switch does nothing and some buttons come up in Mandarin despite my language being set to English.”
    • “Good game but there are constantly at least two types of music playing.”
  • grinding
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively tedious and time-consuming, with many players feeling that the limited resources and slow progression make gameplay frustrating. While some acknowledge that grinding is typical for idle games, the overwhelming sentiment is that it detracts from the overall experience, often requiring players to watch ads or spend money to make meaningful progress. Overall, the grind is seen as a major drawback, overshadowing the game's potential.

    • “Grinding takes forever with the few resources they give you at this point.”
    • “The game is grindy as heck, and the events are not even worth the time.”
    • “The progression is super slow and unnecessarily grindy.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while many players appreciate the art style and in-game visuals, some criticize the quality of the intro cutscenes and the presence of ads and microtransactions that detract from the experience. The graphics are generally described as good or fine, but the cluttered interface and excessive advertisements negatively impact gameplay enjoyment.

    • “Love the art style.”
    • “A well made adorable game, I love the mechanics and the art style.”
    • “Very entertaining game to pass the time; graphics and gameplay 9/10.”
    • “The graphics are even cheaper than some of the originals, yet they think they have a right to add microtransactions to this trash.”
    • “There are way too many ads; it's more like watching ads than actually playing the game. The graphics and idea are fine, but all the ads destroy it and make you uninstall it the same day you download it.”
    • “This game starts off with the intro cutscene graphics looking kind of bad, but the in-game graphics are good.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the game's emotional engagement, citing a lack of interactivity and negative experiences with events that lead to lost rewards and progress. This has resulted in a diminished desire to participate in the game's features, impacting overall enjoyment.

  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as having great potential, with amusing animations and moments that provide entertainment, though some players find the experience frustrating due to technical issues and ads.
