Latest update · v3.19.20

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

This update includes various bug fixes and performance improvements

Recurring themes

Technical Issues negative
Many users report frequent crashes, freezing, and the game being unplayable, especially after updates. This contradicts the developer's notes about bug fixes and performance improvements. There are also specific complaints about poor optimization for tablets and iPads, leading to incorrect formatting and inability to see game elements.R2R3R4R15
Monetization & Value negative
A significant number of reviews describe the game as a 'money pit' or 'pay-to-play,' with events being very expensive to win and a constant push for in-app purchases. Some users feel prices are ridiculous, and that recent updates have increased costs for items like full decks. There are also reports of false advertising regarding promised starter packs and rewards upon downloading the game.R1R6R9R11
Gameplay & Progression mixed
While many find the game addictive, fun, and a good time-waster with engaging graphics, others criticize its repetitiveness, slow energy renewal, and difficulty in forging items or evolving characters without significant grinding or spending. The UI is also noted as confusing and not user-friendly.R10R12R16R19
Customer Service negative
Multiple reviews indicate poor or non-existent customer support. One user reported a positive experience where a developer fixed an issue after a poor review, but this seems to be an outlier among recent feedback.R3R7R8R24

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy match-3 RPGs with fantasy themes, appreciate good graphics, and are looking for an addictive time-waster R55R70R76. It might appeal to those willing to invest significant time or money to progress, or who enjoy the social aspect of guilds R32. Skip this game if you primarily play on an iPad or tablet, as it has severe formatting and playability issues on those devices R2R3R4R15. Also, skip if you are sensitive to aggressive monetization, frequent crashes, or unfulfilled promises of in-game rewards R1R6R17.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative, with many 1-star ratings focusing on technical issues and monetization. This contrasts sharply with the lifetime rating of 4.46, suggesting a recent decline in quality or user experience. The positive reviews in the recent sample are often very brief and lack detail, or come from newer players, making it harder to weigh against the detailed negative feedback from long-term players.

  1. [R12] 4/5 · US Great game. UI needs work: I am addicted to this game. However, the UI needs quite a bit of work. The navigation isn’t very user friendly and gets confusing. The guild system is hard to understand and there is no explanation of how exactly to participate within the app.
  2. [R20] 4/5 · US Healing: I downloaded this game when I was recovering from a catastrophic surgery. I’m allergic to meds, so it’s heating pads and ice packs and laid up but not much to do. I needed to take my mind to a place of fantasy & Adventure to distraction from my pain. We all need an escape from the real world from time to time. This game put my state of mind in the realm of interesting beautiful arts and d
  3. [R55] 5/5 · AU Addictive!: Enjoyable, challenging, a whole lot of fun, and addictive! Employ your friends to bolster your team then build up your power and execute for maximum effect to destroy your enemies. Use the drops to improve your team and hit 'em again! I keep draining my battery as I can't put the darn thing down!
  4. [R70] 5/5 · AU Best game ever: Kind addicted to this game, so good!
  5. [R50] 5/5 · US Island 🌴 Fun 😂: I love ❤️ this game the graphics got me hooked totally awesome 😎
  6. [R76] 5/5 · AU LegenDary: Amazing art! 💜💙💚💛❤️
  7. [R32] 5/5 · US Long time player: I’ve been playing this game for a few years now, I really enjoy everything about it. There’s always events and something to do. Plus there’s very few ads. All of the ads in the game are optional, you can get extra stuff by watching the ads. You don’t even have to put money into the game, you can earn gems and everything through guild events and it’s wonderful.
  8. [R17] 4/5 · US Game keeps crashing.: I’m having fun. In a guild that I care about. But it infuriates me when I can’t play the goddamn game when it continues to crash. I’ve lost keys this way. And y’all are kinda shot for refunding them too. Make a game that doesn’t crash please and thank you.
  9. [R27] 1/5 · US Crashes: It’s unplayable today. It crashes constantly.
  10. [R33] 2/5 · US So many crashes: So I just recently picked up this game again and even spent a bit of money on it however I’ve noticed that has begun to crash a lot more frequently. Since the most recent update I can’t even click anything without the game crashing. I really liked this game in the beginning it was fun and enjoyable. I hope you guys can get this sorted out
  11. [R39] 4/5 · US Great game but keeps closing on me: After the update it keeps closing out on me
  12. [R2] 1/5 · US Expensive / Not optimized for ipad: Events are very expensive to win and it's impossible to scroll through event mobs on iPad Pro
  13. [R3] 1/5 · US iPad tablet or iPhone? Don’t bother: Changes to the game format have made it impossible to play on iPads, most iPhones and tablets. Message being relayed to players is the game is for phones - which doesn’t explain the issue with non-ancient iPhones. Support for this game is basically non-existent. Played for years and it has become increasingly so not worth it.
  14. [R4] 1/5 · US Game is not formatted properly for tablets: Game has a long history of glitches, crashes and poor developer implementation. Along with gatcha box casino type in-app purchase schemes. Read everything and know what you're getting into with this game before buying anything. Latest update is formatted so horribly for tablet users, you can't even see the action boss lines to play. Truly astounding at
  15. [R15] 1/5 · US No fun playing a game you can’t see!: If you plan on playing this game on an iPad like I have for over 3 years..FORGET IT! Since Halloween this year they made the boss screen so small by adding so much junk above it that you can only see part of ONE boss! Used to be able to see 4 bosses at one time, then 3, then 2, now less than 1 boss at a time. If they add any more junk you literally won’t be ab
  16. [R1] 1/5 · US an obvious money pitt: I played for awhile bc i enjoyed the game now its filled with technical issues and lies to player's all with the intent on getting you to spend more money to play the game, I'm just over it don't waste your time
  17. [R11] 1/5 · US Be very careful with this game: I spent more than $ 2,000 and I didn’t complete the dec, this game is a stupid game, don’t play this game .
  18. [R13] 1/5 · US Pay to play game!: I’ve been playing for a long time and with each update they charge for more and more. Gifts need gems too. What a rip off. I’m so disappointed with this game. It’s only good for people who have time and money to spend. Otherwise you get nowhere. Our group used to have a lot of people but everybody has stopped playing. We are getting lower and lower on players in our group. PLEAS
  19. [R25] 1/5 · US Hamster on the running wheel: I experiences eyes tiredness and lost eyes concentration when I play this game. At beginning, this game seem fun but after one week, I notice this game repeating and nothing improving in art quality. They improves buying odd ratios. Last year, I need 2400 gems to buy a full deck, this years they upgrade their price on full decks are 5000 gems and that equivalent to 50
  20. [R6] 1/5 · US False advertisement: This game seems really fun but every time I see this as an ad, it states we receive $100 starter pack with a guaranteed super rare or 6 star hero. I downloaded the game because I was like okay, that sounds pretty awesome. After getting the first victory and choosing between water, earth and fire, I did not receive any form of a pack or hero that was $100. You had to pay $3.99
  21. [R9] 1/5 · US No from me: I downloaded this game from an ad saying I’d receive $100 in game value but I didn’t receive anything like that. The graphics are dizzying and the tutorial was very vague. Not very intuitive UI
  22. [R21] 1/5 · US Disappointed: Did not get the starter pack as promised when I downloaded the game 😡
  23. [R22] 1/5 · US (: Great game but I didn’t get my starter gift like I was promised
  24. [R7] 5/5 · US Legendary changes of today: I have tried a lot of free games download it off the App Store. LOL I decided to change my rating to one star instead of two I recently tried to work with Customer Service again because I miss the people that I play legendary with so I wanted to get my account active again . Before you spend any money with these people try getting help from them for something and you’
  25. [R24] 2/5 · US Lengendary - Game of Zero’s thousands of them behind a “1”.: I have been playing this game since 4 months of its debut. I loved the game up until 2 years ago, when the graphics changed, developer attitude changed and also the game style changed and customer service became non-exsistent. In the beginning, when you leveled up your hero their appearance and clothing changed to exhibit their new stag
  26. [R10] 1/5 · US Love this game but...: Love the game, but the energy required to play anything runs out way too fast. I can only play 4-5 minutes, or less, before I have to spend money or turn the game off and wait 2 hours to recharge, only to play for 2-3 minutes. I will give a 5 star review if you give more opportunities for earning energy and lowering the energy required for challenges and campaigns. Definitel
  27. [R67] 3/5 · AU Good but not great: Nice graphics and good to pass the time but I'm slowly losing patience with it. The energy renewal system is very slow and the ability to evolve your characters means you'll be grinding for rare pieces for AGES. I've had the same party maxed out on a medium rank for the past two months and have no signs of upgrading anytime soon because the pieces I need are extremely rare to d
  28. [R23] 1/5 · US 😑😌: Not a clear start tutorial for new players
  29. [R19] 2/5 · US Good for new players - don’t spend money: This game is very fun. There is a lot to learn and many game variations. You can keep busy for quite a while building your deck(s), it’s exciting to get new cards, and you have the chance to do that each week/event. The reason I say it is good for new players, is because that excitement wears off when your personal level (not card level) is maxed. Then
  30. [R16] 5/5 · US Great: Really great game
  31. [R8] 5/5 · US Great game. Good customer service: I wrote a poor review earlier and a developer actually commented on my review and fixed the issue.
  32. [R30] 3/5 · US TREASURE update not worth it: This game was genuinely great but some of the recent updates have changed my player experience. One change that was just added to an event was the opportunity to win treasure after killing a boss. Sounds great right? Except once you kill the boss you are required to spend gems to open the treasure chest. Why would I spend 100 gems to open a crate with only 100k? This
  33. [R43] 1/5 · US Boycott this until they fix it: Have been a very active player until now. Worked ok back then. As is now this is a pay to win game that gets very expensive. It is now full of bugs. Shutting off, locking up, and incorrect scoring on a regular basis. If I could give no stars I would. If you want to spend a lot of money and time to progress only to have them drop the power of the cards you buy/e
