Fixed a stuck state where if you closed the game while having won a game on the game over screen, it would get soft locked on the opening screen. Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/XCMUfbqkXn

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.

For someone who is as busy as myself this game and the ease of use it offers is amazing the gameplay is simple but gets more involved as it goes on in rounds the items are fun and have a good range of synergies that you can make into fun builds, only thing I would ask for would be an option to watch adds to speed up the chests as when there full you can collect more other than that it's a fun, quick and interesting little game.

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.

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. :)

Looks simple at first...but is actually semi-complex... I tend to try and run a "rat build" where each rat buffs another rat. But you need to chose between what kinda rats, daggers (at they are 0 mana weapons so good to spam, but weak) or more space. Unlike most games that have this cartoon style, this also feels like you can actually choose and progress. Would totally recommend 👌

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.

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.

Fun game, had my characters relatively decently leveled. After the last update I was mid-fight and went out of the app to take care of something urgent. I went back in and was back at the main menu. None of the buttons worked so I closed out and restarted multiple times. Nothing seemed to work so I un-installed and reinstalled and lost all of my data. This is horrendous for UX. I've spent probably 40 hour so hours on leveling the account for it to be lost to something as so stupid.

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...😒

Game is sometimes really fun, but I swear it will decide to randomly screw you over and for multiple playthroughs just not give you any weapons. Pool of weapons and builds need to be refined a bit, shouldn't go through 5 playthroughs with 5 lives each run plus an extra life with the ad, to go out with one or two trophies out of 15 just because you weren't able to buy any weapons.

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
