Review of Free-to-Play Game with Fair Ads and Steady Progress

30 reviews between Mar 03, 2023 and May 22, 2023.

This game has a lot of positive aspects such as fair ads, steady progress, and addictive gameplay. However, some users find it frustratingly random and too monotonous. The upgrade system is luck-based, and the game can be pay-to-win. There are no forced ads, but the layout can be complicated, and progression can slow down. The game is free-to-play, but it depends on luck with skill choices, making some users suggest adding an option to ensure certain skills. Overall, the game is enjoyable for those with extra time on their hands.

  • I LOVE this game. I saw it in an ad and it is exactly as promised (but I thought my little guy was on a skateboard initially lol). It's evenly paced, there's so much to do and unlock, I feel like I finally found a game where things feel FAIR! It's not pay-to-win and I love that it doesn't force you to feel like you have to gamble to progress. You can watch ads to get some resources (plenty of opportunities for that) and since I feel like it's my choice, I have no problem with it! 100% great game

  • It seems the errors have been fixed! The second time I redownload the game, I somehow got my old account back! I'm very happy about this. And I don't really mind the zoom out. To other players, I highly recommend getting this game! Its a very fun experience to cure your boredom quickly. (And to me it's very satisfying when all the enimes go out aswell as a stress reliever to me.) I really like how it turned out the second time I redownload the game.

  • So far so good. No crazy ads. Beautiful gameplay but a bit repetitive can get boring real quick. They have 10 minutes survival rounds perfect for when in line at a bank or just needing to kill some time. I am noticing that now that I am at level 13 a lot of options and claim prizes has increased and different rounds like an all bosses round. Overall I give it 3 and a half stars rounded up would be 4. and in all honesty I don't give many 5 stars unless the game is flawless. Not one yet...soon?...

  • As a Vampire Survivor (VS) clone, it's not bad, but it's not great either. The touch controls, along with a lot of the weapons, passives, and even some evolutions, are a 1 for 1 to VS. There's over 4x the stages of VS, but good luck seeing even half of them for 3 reasons: no controller support, the bosses feel like the hellspawn of Binding of Isaac & Dark Souls, and the grind is REAL. Be prepared to spend a LOT of time/money if you even want to see Stage 40. Also: only 5 characters. VS had 40+.

  • It could have been a great game but the levels are annoyingly getting harder and harder. The skill rolls are terrible. How about you make it so that the skill rolls are the ones the players have instead of giving us random skills. I kept losing because I couldn't upgrade my weapons and it keep giving me new ones that aren't strong enough to deal with the enemies in 10 minutes and above

    • The game is good, but it depends too much on your luck with the skill choices presented to the player. My suggestion is to add something that can ensure what skill you will be getting every match. Edit: co-op mode here is kinda bad. The second player always get disconnected for some reason. Also i will give 5 stars if you guys make a mechanic that guarantees some of the skills of your choice

    • Frustratingly random. The gameplay is fun and the graphics are cool, but the upgrade system is based entirely on luck. This makes it impossible to scale up your attacks as the difficulty increases within a level. Not a great system. Very annoying when the difficulty spikes and you're offered only tier one upgrades for weapons you haven't used. The soundtrack could also use more variety. So far each level has the same music.

    • Its a fun game, but if you're a completest there's too much content for a daily casual gaming experience to make it fun. Depending on the event, there could be an additional 2 hours of game play per day. levels/rounds take 20 minutes to complete at longest, there's not forced ads, they are all optional, but to be able to even maximize your play even at the free level, there's about 15 daily ads that you would need to watch, they don't always load, further adding to frustration.

    • It's fun for a time. It has a lot of pros like unobtrusive ads, solid gameplay, and pretty fair events so it's worth a try if nothing else. But if you don't plan to pay for anything, the game will grind to a halt and each new session is marked by less progress than the last. Getting new gear is a pain. You end up using the same list of abilities because there aren't really that many, and the difficulty between levels changes wildly. So a fun initial experience followed by a steep drop off.

    • Good game if you have some extra time on your hands! Each level is about 15min besides the events(shorter time) armor,weapons and special abilities to add to your character also a pets that can assist you in battle with there own attacks. Level based game. multi-player is only local. I love the weapon variety! From blades to bullets. The only downside for me is the offline section. This game requires wifi in order to function. If there was something they could add to play offline.

    • Saw it in an ad, gave it a shot. It's fun. Straight up. The game play is exactly like the ads, there's no confusing confusing controls, and progress has good positive movement. The only difference I would like to see is when the bio-fuel is collected enough to level up, you should be able to choose your upgrade. Other than that, great game.

    • This game is going down in history as one of the most impressive freemium games ever! They have ads but not in your face and only when you choose to see them for rewards. The ad experience is rewarding, not irritating. There's never interruption, the missions are difficult and I guess it's to encourage spending cash, but you can get the same result when grinding. You have a choice. It has the best game save/resume mechanism I've ever experienced. Devs, please don't mess it up. It's a good game.

    • When I first saw some ads for this game that included a little gameplay. I got hooked so I downloaded it and started playing. The gameplay in the ad and the real gameplay were the same with a few minor tweeks so I was happy. At first it was a bit of a challenge as my stats were bad and improvement was locked behind level completion. Fortunately I managed to get into a bit of a groove and got myself to a decent level that makes the game worth playing. 4.5 stars rounded up.

    • Surprisingly super fun, there is always new events and new things to try in game so ut never gets boring. Ads are usually optional and dont distract from gameplay. you can buy things but not pay to play. The layout ia a little comlicated to begin with especially if you start during an event with so many different places to find quests and colect rewards, but after a few weeks i am completely comfortable with where everything is. Wish you could downgrade gold level stuff!!

    • This game is incredibly fun if you want a rogue-lite experience. It's fairly easy once you learn what strategy works best for you, but there is a lot you can do in this game as you level up and unlock more (and I'm only level 20 after playing for 7 days). There's main story, daily challenges, upgradeable clothes and weapons, upgradeable parts, login rewards, season rankings, trials, mega challenges, and even local co-op. There's bound to be something you'll like! It also doesn't feel pay to win!

    • This game so far is quite enjoyable. It's simple gameplay and easy to get the hang of. It's challenging but not impossible. It's ad free except if you choose to watch an ad or two for a bonus. The rewards so far are fair. I don't like how redundant it is and there isn't much strategy just luck mostly. It is enjoyable though.

    • Overall a really enjoyable free to play game, with no ads forced on the player. Ads can be viewed for additional lives, gold, gems etc but are limited to a few per day. Unfortunately things tend to slow down quite a bit in terms of progression, and you're forced to use certain ability combos as some are underpowered. My main issue is the cost of things, I do like the game and would like to buy battles passes and packs, but the price for them is very very high compared to what you get in return.

    • I really enjoyed the game in the beginning but then it became so stale and monotonous. I just login to do the dailies, it takes too long to do challenges and chapters when they're 15 mins a play. Too long for a quick play. It really seems pay to win when the event comes along with all the impossibly high requirements. Really sad honestly, they've added too much to do without trying to improve the base of it. It's really unfortunate, it used to be quick and fun in the begining and now is arduous.

    • I really enjoy the game, after I beat magic survival I needed another game like it, so I came here. The game is super fun, no forced ads, and the events are actually rewarding (tho I did get a few lucky drops). My biggest issue with the game is that the text will glitch out from time to time and the only way to fix it is to either get lucky, or completely restart the game. Again, really fun, if you're on the fence about it, give it a try.

    • Edit: After around 4 months of playing I can say the game has some serious design flaws which make parts of the newly introduced mechanisms impossible to achieve even for paid players. It has become unbalanced. I can no longer recommend to pay anything on this game. The game has remained mostly enjoyable though. Orginal review: One of the very few games which are worth spending money on. The devs have done a great job! Very balanced and very enjoyable even for free-to-play people. Awesome!

    • it's a pretty good game. Risk of rain mobile ver. surprisingly not pushy with watching ads. but youtube ads of thia game are very annoying. i downloaded it to not see it appear. like any roguelike game, you can pour a lot of time but eventually it gets repetitive. at some point you'll find out what always works and plow through levels. (just get area damage items) would i suggest it? yes, if somebody wants to kill time. it'll keep you occupied for sure.

    • It's a good game but I don't think it has enough features that I really look for in a game like this, like sometimes I would like an infinity round, see how long you can go without dying with access to every upgrade (except those locked by starting weapon of course so if you start with a throwing knife then you should be limited to those) but overall the game is actually pretty good

    • First of all, this game is super fun. Sure, it's one concept spanning hours and hours of your life (with the current 84 chapters as of writing this, if you did everything flawlessly without touching any bonus levels, you're looking at a grand total of 1,260 minutes or about 21 hours of playtime), but it still works out really well. My one and only complaint is the lag and crashing. This game crashes SO often, to the point of being annoying. Even so much as starting a battle causes a crash.

    • Overall a fun game, definitely has some annoying parts to it. Like when given the option to choose other power ups, have it switch to other power ups instead of shuffling the same 3. Also seems like the game refuses to give me the power ups I mods for, and will shuffle power ups I don't use often. Could do with reduced effects, it's really hard to see what's going on when I'm fully powered up. I die most times from an elite that snuck in under all the attack animation and damage numbers.

    • I love this game. It's very addictive! The only change I would make is please put a collect all button when collecting rewards. It's off putting having to press every button to collect your rewards and then have to tap again to get out of the screen. Then you have to do that 10 more times if you let your rewards build up, which isn't ideal.

    • I love to play this game in my free time, but I have a few issues with the game. When you have to chose a skill to learn and have a presence of weapons it gets annoying that I can't have a shuffle option that is worth 200 diamonds or something. It also gets annoying how I get so close to the final boss, but then a mini boss comes in while I'm being swarmed. Now I have to run around in the middle of the swarm trying not to die but beating the Mini boss at the same time. I like the game still.

    • Best game ever! If you like archero than you will love this game. There are no random ads. The only time you will see an sd is when you click on one for free stuff like gems, coins, etc. I really like that even when you run out of energy, there are other game modes you can play an unlimited amount of times. Like the main challenge mode. You get 3 different difficulties each time you beat a chapter. You only get a reward the 1st play through, but you can play it as many times as you want.

    • Great game! Addictive and easy to get into. I hate that there's an energy bar (just let me play your game) and I'm only a bit into it still, but I do hope there's an endless mode or something, that satisfying practice mode or something? Where you can level every skill up and just watch as it cuts through the enemies like butter. Overall good game, well thought out, the skills and abilities have fun names and descriptions, and memorable icons. And best of all, no ads you didn't ask for.

Easily upgrade without spending money. You're not bombarded with ads like so many other games. There are ads to watch for free items and extra lives which I can totally appreciate. 10/10*

    • Iv been playing this game for a few months and it has been flawless. The progress is steady and at no point do you need to "grind" to advance. It has a nice balance of only wanting to be played for 15-30 minutes every day but doesn't penalise you if you do miss a day. Also there are no ads if you choose not to watch any. There is an option to watch some to gain rewards but it's not essential. Also it has never asked me once to leave a review. All round, a really solid and unintrusive game.
