  1. [R9] Legendary 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
  2. [R17] Legendary 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. [R21] Legendary 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.
  4. [R27] Legendary 4/5 · US Hey I love the game: Love the game and tbh I only got it cause I saw the boys were in it and I love that show and would love it if there could be a black noir pack I’d be willing to drop some money on that and maybe even a deep pack but besides that keep up the great work
  5. [R4] Legendary 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
  6. [R7] Legendary 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.
  7. [R8] Legendary 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.
  8. [R10] Legendary 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
  9. [R1] Legendary 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
  10. [R14] Legendary 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.
  11. [R29] Legendary 4/5 · US Great game but keeps closing on me: After the update it keeps closing out on me
  12. [R6] Legendary 3/5 · US Good game but: Good game and all but way to hard to forge things get money and get cards
  13. [R2] Legendary 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’
  14. [R5] Legendary 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.
  15. [R13] Legendary 1/5 · US Slow and clunky: Game is slow with blow by blow delivery of background processes that do not add to the game. Developers so tied up in fancy graphics that the game becomes unplayable. Administrators unresponsive. All the signs pf a game where developers are more concerned with self stroking than delivering a product worth playing.
  16. [R24] Legendary 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
  17. [R48] Legendary 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
  18. [R28] Legendary 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
  19. [R41] Legendary 1/5 · US Crashes: It’s unplayable today. It crashes constantly.
