Recurring themes

Pay-to-Win negative
Many reviewers state the game is heavily pay-to-win, making it difficult for free players to compete, especially in events and at higher levels. Players who spend money, often called 'whales,' dominate servers and events, leaving free players unable to progress or enjoy competitive aspects.R5R28R42R57
Account Issues negative
A prevalent issue is the loss of account progress, with users reporting their accounts being deleted, reset to level 1, or becoming inaccessible after updates, breaks, or server changes. This often results in the loss of paid items and significant time investment.R16R19R26R32
Community & Chat negative
The in-game community is frequently criticized for being toxic, immature, and filled with bots. Users report instances of harassment, bullying, and general negativity in chat, with some wishing for a way to disable it.R35R55R73R79
Technical Problems negative
Users experience various technical difficulties, including the game crashing, freezing, getting stuck on loading screens, and causing devices to overheat. These issues disrupt gameplay and make the game unplayable for some.R8R25R40R45
Developer Responsiveness negative
Reviewers express frustration with the developers, perceiving them as unresponsive to community feedback, especially concerning pay-to-win mechanics and account issues. Some feel the developers prioritize big spenders over the general player base.R12R28R29R91
Events & Content mixed
While some enjoy the events and content, many find that events are often repetitive ('reskinned') and primarily designed to extract money from players, with free event rewards being minimal or worthless. The latest update focuses on collaboration events, which some users find unappealing or just another avenue for P2W content.R5R17R58R89

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy idle RPGs with social elements and are willing to spend money to stay competitive, or for casual players who don't mind being outclassed by paying users R41. It is not for players who expect a fair free-to-play experience, are easily frustrated by account loss, or prefer a non-toxic community R28R35.

Evidence note: The sample skews negative, with a 0.422 recent-negative ratio, which contrasts with the lifetime 4.69 rating. This suggests a declining user experience or increased frustration among recent players, particularly regarding pay-to-win aspects and account issues. The developer's notes mention new collaboration events, which align with user comments about frequent events, but do not address the core complaints of pay-to-win or account problems.

  1. [R6] 5/5 · US Addicting: Very addicting
  2. [R31] 5/5 · US Lots of content: It took a while to get used to the game mechanics but once you learn how to play it’s a ton of fun. Still learning how to build good combos and how to stack pals/skills but definitely recommend for a good time killer. Also ads are optional and are only used for speeding things up or to give you a slight bonus.
  3. [R39] 5/5 · US One of the best games: I love it it’s fun to grind and I reached lvl 100
  4. [R43] 5/5 · US Really good way to have fun and kill time: I absolutely love this game. The reason for this is because its nice, no ads (unless you need to watch ads to get smth), and the ads are accurate. very addicting, nice game, and great progression. you unlock tiers, compete with other players, make friends, and so much more! i would recommend playing this game. if you do wanna buy something, its usually le
  5. [R2] 5/5 · US Five stars: I love the way yall made the game and your Able to talk to your friends and and role-play us whatever you wanna be
  6. [R9] 5/5 · US Very cute game!: Casually met the love of my life on this game 🙂‍↕️
  7. [R61] 5/5 · US Idk: This game is wonderful and a lot of fun with Friends doing dungeons together and creating guilds!
  8. [R150] 3/5 · US The best game I have ever played: The game is just so fun and I love how you are able to communicate with other players and you can level up and become stronger!!! There are just so many fun things that you can do The only bad part is you have to pay a little money of your own want to get a boost and some cool mounts or costumes are locked behind a tight pay to win gacha. But over all the best
  9. [R4] 5/5 · US Nice game free to play: BL80MKJXRY9X use promo good start!
  10. [R10] 5/5 · US good: amazing game overall, good f2p compatibility but after you get to really high levels it starts to get boring. easily solved by switching servers tho
  11. [R41] 5/5 · US Excellent game: Literally the only game I’ve found in years that you can be F2P and still enjoy yourself. For sure you’ll be completely outclassed by the people that pay (a lot) but there is still an insane amount of fun to be had for free. I legit didn’t know I could play a game for a year straight and this one showed me it was possible. Admittedly, I’ve run out of stuff to do so I’ve recently hu
  12. [R77] 5/5 · US Legend Of Mushroom Gameplay: Tbh the gameplay is really good the graphics are amazing and I love doing events and getting rewards with friends and since I just made another new account because I lost my old one it doesn't matter because I still find it enjoyable. Fav update gotta be the Pop Singer K-pop collab with those four characters. 5 stars
  13. [R25] 5/5 · US Amazing game!: I love this game so much!!! It’s so fun to do in free time, and I like to leave it on auto play! Though, I am on mobile and when I need to exit out of things, I can’t. So I have to exit the game and it take a while to load. But, I LOVE IT! and that means a lot coming from someone who is picky about these games. Such a cozy game.
  14. [R5] 1/5 · US P2W: The game is good, but it is completely pay to win. The free events are worthless. The ones you want something from will cost you a bunch of money. Nothing free in this game will make you any better
  15. [R28] 1/5 · US Pathetic: I cannot lie like bot comments. It is way too pay 2 win. There is no benefit and fun playing as a player that did light spending in the heat of the moment. I will say that it’s not worth it and your money is best spent elsewhere. Don’t try to compete. They don’t listen ingame and they don’t listen via Discord. They ONLY LISTEN TO THE ONES WHO SPEND 5-Digits WORTH. Play the game b
  16. [R42] 2/5 · US P2W HEAVY: In the beginning it seems f2p friendly. After 3 months the gap is too large. I was top 3 in server just by playing optimally and spending money lightly but after our first server merge I dropped down to top 20. I wasn’t able to participate in any of the guild focused pvp cause of the P2W items. Don’t waste your time unless you have deep pockets! You will always get merged into a server
  17. [R67] 1/5 · US Pay to win 100%: Trash game pay to win I play as much as my teammates did and they jump 10x more then me instantly because they paid for stuff and then it gets to a point where you can’t use the lamp because you are transaction blocked meaning you have to pay for lamps to actually be able to get higher
  18. [R16] 1/5 · US Sheoomie70904s review: It reset me to nothing I’m a og an the account is shroomie70904 if I could I would rate it 0 stars
  19. [R19] 2/5 · US Good game but what?: I love the game I been playing it since it came out issue I can’t log into any other device, but the one I originally made the account on that that’s not even my main phone anymore and I don’t even use it. You want me to play the game but yet I can’t even log into my account.
  20. [R33] 1/5 · US Stole my account I put money in: Horrible game I had an account I didn’t play for like a few days all of a sudden I can’t get back into my account and they’re forcing me to try to login and start over and I paid for no ads. How am I gonna get that back? I want a refund.
  21. [R46] 3/5 · US Good but not: It was a pretty fun game that I made a lot of progress in but then the servers reset and I lost everything so maybe if you made it to where we can keep all of our stuff then it would be better instead of just keeping cosmetics
  22. [R35] 2/5 · US Good game play, awful game: Game balance and game play seem okay. Community is one of the most toxic and immature I have ever encountered. Serious scam and bot problems, terrible language, and no dev presence. Needs a way to outright disable chat.
  23. [R55] 5/5 · US Bots: This game is very fun but servers are ruined every time a new one opens one bot always shows up and makes the first family and fills it with at least 25 more bots. There needs to be a Captcha system in place to prevent bots from ruining servers and scamming players
  24. [R73] 1/5 · US the community: I love the game but the community attacked me for bein a man and said hurtful things like “we dont need men” and “you dont matter” they also said “men are useless women dont need them” and told me to go k!ll myself
  25. [R130] 3/5 · US I’m so confused.: It’s filled with bots. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun and all, but I SWEAR there are bots. Even the other “players” say so in chat and discord.
  26. [R17] 5/5 · US PLEASE REMEMBER F2PS EXIST TOO: I like this game, and I’ve been playing it for a while. The endgame content is really nice, but I’ve gotten a walk after acquiring full combo/crit gear and now that I’m at level 122, it is very difficult and time consuming to increase my power further. But one of my biggest pet peeves are the events. Oh my god, 90-99% of the events are just reskinned versions of pas
  27. [R211] 3/5 · US Fun game but: It gets to the point where it’s hard to progress free to play and every event comes out with this nice unique stuff that you can’t think about getting without paying real money kinda unfortunate
  28. [R313] 3/5 · GB Pay For Win: Great game I played from launch date. Problem become after merge of servers. You compite ONLY AND ONLY with players who pay. Doesn’t matter if you play every single day for hours if you don’t pay you progress is slow, repetitive and many times you just stuck. Event rewards get always same players who paid. Game has good microtransactions, but for get one mount you need to pay 300£ or
  29. [R339] 3/5 · GB Fun to begin with: As you start it’s fun but then u can have to keep on using ur lamps to get better gr after a while it’s gets boring and old
  30. [R89] 2/5 · US Great at first… But slowly shows signs of cash grab: At first it’s a fast-paced level-up rpg. After a while, almost every week seems to bring a cash-grab event that is staged as novel content. Progression slows and unless your willing to upward of $50 to participate, you have no chance of winning any “prizes”. Even more, these special event triple up at times. It becomes overwhelming and time co
  31. [R321] 3/5 · GB Decent game: I myself, Valt aoi from server 30008, feel like the game is lacking a sense of f2p, because like to get all the new stuff from events, you have to pay, like I will spend a bit of money, but not a lot.
  32. [R40] 3/5 · US I can’t play: Stuck on loading screen. You guys kinda remind me of Mineville. A Minecraft server that RESTARTS every 6 months. You devs make me sick to my STOMACH.
  33. [R45] 3/5 · US Crashing: The game is fun, but when I try to do things, the game just crashes and closes its self. Like, I try to evolve my mushroom, but it either crashes when I try to do it, or it loads, but I can’t move at all. Same for some other things I try to do.
  34. [R263] 3/5 · GB I swear there is a bug or a virus in this game.: One minute i can play this game without my phone getting really hot and the next my phone is really hot and i got to turn it off to cool my phone down.
  35. [R379] 3/5 · GB Freezing: It’s a good game don’t get me wrong and I have gotten decent at it but now I was playing it and it froze I said hey it’s nothing I go to open the game again and now it freezes when trying to load in it says entering game and just freezes
  36. [R12] 1/5 · US Awful developers: Want to waste your time? Play this game with awful collabs and awful developers. It’s fun at first but with time you’ll learn that they don’t listen to their community or give af.
  37. [R91] 1/5 · US The Discord for game is rude: I was in the discord and I was saying one of the events wasn’t fair because one person kept winning over and over, and I basically had the mod in the server laughed in my face. It’s funny previously they wanted people to stop auto clicking, but they don’t give a damn when people win over and over still
  38. [R24] 1/5 · US Ad is a lie: It said the chance of a drop increases with each death, but it's just a scam. · translated
  39. [R96] 1/5 · US 3000 free draws: Downloaded didn’t get it
  40. [R425] 3/5 · GB No Pre-Registration Bonus: This game appeared constantly in ads for days leading up until it’s release, promising a reward for pre-registration, however this bonus is nowhere to be found in-game. A blunt lie from the developers in order to increase downloads by telling players they’d get an exclusive bonus. The game itself is fun enough, I would’ve played it regardless of the bonus. But lying to p
  41. [R445] 3/5 · GB No rewards: Didnt get my pre-download rewards still a pretty good game
  42. [R70] 3/5 · US Scummy practices: First time ever leaving a review but I was just blown away by the greed. For the battle pass there is a $10 and $1 option. In almost EVERY other game I have literally ever played, if there are two paid options and you purchase the more expensive one, you get the rewards for the cheaper on. Not here. If you buy the $10 battle pass, you STILL have to buy the $1 track to unlock that
  43. [R57] 3/5 · US Too many pay to win people: I like the game a lot but its hard to get good at it unless you dump like 50 bucks on it. i think a free to play server would help
  44. [R26] 3/5 · US Love the game but scammed me: So a while ago, I played this, but I took a break. Today, I logged back into my account and found out that my no-ads purchase has disappeared, so now I have to deal with long, boring ads.
  45. [R32] 5/5 · US Lost Game: I was loving this game, but logged in today to find my account completely wiped? I don't know what happened or if there was an update, but all of my progress is gone and I have been playing since launch. I had my account linked to my Apple ID - but now it's gone. It starts me out at level 1.
  46. [R79] 5/5 · US How good and bad it is: U should play this but th people in the chat will some times cuss 🤬
  47. [R8] 1/5 · US game didn't load at all: do i even need to explain anymore
  48. [R29] 1/5 · US Jokes: The game restricts your growth early on and after your merge the 2nd time you start fighting servers a year older then you if you don’t spend on this game you won’t be competitive. If you plan to spend just buy a account on discord the top accounts are always changing hands mutiple ppl logging into them this all goes against the games tos but they don’t care so don’t start new buy a account
  49. [R58] 3/5 · US P2W: This game is good and doesn’t fail to have good collabs with other games/shows. But I’m this game we all know the term “Whales” and it’s annoying that you could save up weeks to even months of resources and get out done by someone who pays to get #1 in less than 2hrs. This game heavily pushes you to pay in their web store to get these “Limited time” cosmetic armors/INSANELY OP WEAPONS/ OP Rid
  50. [R59] 1/5 · US Ads: Nothing wrong with ads; however: “ sudden unexplained slowdown following an app advertisement is a red flag, as aggressive ads can be vectors for malware, spyware, or PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that consume resources and track your activity.” This game provide ads that can compromise data.
  51. [R143] 3/5 · US lol: High levels love seeing you suffer. They’ll remember your username and purposely steal your crops even though you barely have anything. Every day. I tried playing this and the players were so bad.. that I had to leave to not get stressed out. And the in game chat is filled with some of the most ignorant selfish and annoying people on the planet. This game is okay don’t get me wrong…. But the
