  • monetization110 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of forced ads that interrupt gameplay and hinder enjoyment. Many players report that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing, with frequent prompts to pay for an ad-free experience, which some claim does not work as intended. While some users appreciate the option to earn rewards through optional ads, the pervasive nature of forced ads has led to frustration and calls for a reduction in their frequency.

    • “Paid for no ads to support.”
    • “There aren't ads around every corner like other games; it does get kind of annoying when I get ads after every time I lose to a dungeon, but I'm okay with that since the ads are skippable.”
    • “To be entirely truthful, an option for paying to remove ads would be nice too, but you guys genuinely did good.”
    • “That's fine for a standalone offline game but the fact this has so many ads and then asks you to pay for ad-free every 30 seconds is annoying since the whole game has very little content.”
    • “The game would be good if it wasn't for the unbearable amount of ads, that's a shame.”
    • “Worst game ever, constant pressure to watch ads, game progress is very slow so you will spend more time watching ads than actually playing, but without them you can't progress.”
  • music34 mentions

    The game is widely criticized for its complete lack of music and sound effects, which many players feel detracts significantly from the overall experience. Reviewers express a strong desire for the addition of a soundtrack and audio elements to enhance gameplay, noting that the silence makes the environment feel jarring and less engaging. Overall, the absence of audio is seen as a major flaw that could be easily remedied to improve the game's appeal.

    • “The environment is jarring without music.”
    • “This game is in desperate need of a soundtrack of some sort; it needs music. There is no sound at all in the game, only the ads themselves have sounds. It's dead quiet in the game. Please, developer, if you're reading this, please add a soundtrack or just any music that would go well with the fantasy world theme. Besides how quiet the game is, it's actually quite fun.”
    • “This game is in desperate need of a soundtrack of some sort; it needs music. There is no sound at all in the game; the only sounds are from the ads themselves. It's dead quiet in the game. Please, developer, if you're reading this, add a soundtrack or any music that would fit the fantasy world theme, because besides how quiet the game is, it's actually quite fun.”
    • “It's a pretty cool game, but I think it would do well with more audio, like background music.”
    • “However, my one problem is that it's completely devoid of sound or music of any kind.”

    • “Game has amazing potential, great mechanics, and a nice variety of enemies.”

    • “The mechanics of this need work; no matter how careful you are or what skills you pick, you get hit constantly.”

    • “Needs a whole new ad system as 50% or more of the time, it freezes up and you have to relaunch the game.”

Overall, the consensus suggests that the story fails to deliver a compelling adventure, making it unworthy of investment.

    • “It's a great story line but the mechanics of the game could be improved; the whole swipe to roll and walking mechanism could be better with a joystick function and an attack button.”
    • “Perhaps after building the village, some characters would only stay if you do a quest for them?”
    • “If you're expecting awesome adventures and a great story or just something solid, you came to the wrong place; after playing for some time, I can assure you it's not worth wasting your storage on this.”
    • “However, if you're fine with playing with no audio, then the storyline is incomplete.”
    • “I eventually got used to the controls, but I cannot advance in the story.”
    • “It was fun at first, but after I finished the first chapter and completed the building, it got boring. The story is impossible to progress without watching ads and spending money; I do not recommend.”
