  1. [R1] Crush Them All 1/5 · US What’s Going On: I’ve been on the game for years, but it’s not working recently. It constantly fails to load, and the people in my guild are having the same issues. Really sucks for those of us who have been here a long time, but I can’t help feeling like the new owners don’t want the game around anymore.
  2. [R3] Crush Them All 3/5 · US Issues: This game is really fun and I’ve been playing it for years, but semi recently the game has been lagging to the point where it’s unplayable whenever the has an event, and usually its like this for 3-5 days, making me miss most of the event usually, but usually when this happens, they will give you a few Hundred flooz in compensation, so overall, this game is really good with a few issues th
  3. [R4] Crush Them All 1/5 · US Connection issues every day….: I have been on this app for at least 4 years; however, during the last year, I have been getting “connection issue” or “requires wifi” almost every day I try to login. I have spent real cash in this app, so I’m trying not to quit.
  4. [R10] Crush Them All 1/5 · US Why?: A couple months ago I was banned from playing the game forever and I have no idea why, I didn’t cheat to get anything faster or instantly unlock anything or to unlock characters faster, all I did was play normally but still got banned. Please help me get my account back.
  5. [R18] Crush Them All 3/5 · US Ads ads ads: I’m really enjoying the game but there isn’t an option to outright remove ads. You have to get it from vip program which will take ages. I wouldn’t get into this game unless you just love ads.
  6. [R31] Crush Them All 1/5 · US The game double charges: When you purchase something from them they double charge you then tell you “we don’t see it on our end ask Apple” no help at all. And if we get the charges reversed our accounts will be deleted. Happened to a couple people I know already. They are thrives on this game don’t download.
  7. [R39] Crush Them All 3/5 · US Good… but…: I wish there were less ads.
  8. [R42] Crush Them All 3/5 · GB Devs have swapped and these gave up: Been playing nearly. 6 years and since it was sold to another company it’s a cash grab and I feel sorry for newer players never been able to catch up. It’s run by far too few people so updates and bugs become troublesome. At the same time it’s a good game from the ground up when it was first made, the new features are good if you’re not as idle as it says you
  9. [R5] Crush Them All 4/5 · US Good game: Really like this game and they are working on it more my only complaint is it starts to lack progression in pve as you get higher level
  10. [R12] Crush Them All 3/5 · US Guild Death: This game cuts off access to new guild members. My guild is down to 3 active players with no hope of getting more. Great game otherwise.
  11. [R15] Crush Them All 3/5 · US Must spend a lot of money for new features: This game is great! Lots of fun and simple to navigate. It takes a while to get your power level up but if you’re patient you can get there. You don’t need to spend money but can if you want to help progress faster. This is absolutely fine in my opinion. They don’t force you to watch ads, but you can get currency if you do. They recently added a feature
  12. [R17] Crush Them All 5/5 · US Addicting: I throughly enjoy team building gars and this one has a lot of dynamics to it and a large selection of heroes. It creates a very diverse atmosphere from player to player.
  13. [R7] Crush Them All 1/5 · US It’s like they’re trying to ruin the game: I’m a 6 year player about 50/50 paid and f2p over the years. It has always been my favorite IDLE game. But the original owners sold it to a new company and let me tell you, they haven’t made one beneficial player decision since. It’s almost like they sit around and actively try to make the worst possible decision for the game, and they update it with n
  14. [R19] Crush Them All 2/5 · US Lack of Support: If you experience bugs or glitches (which happen frequently now) don’t expect a timely reply from support.
  15. [R8] Crush Them All 5/5 · US Can’t restart: I’m trying to delete my account so I can restart because I reinstalled it and I want to start over but even at 00 it still says cancel deletion I love the game but I want to restart
  16. [R11] Crush Them All 5/5 · US Fun: I like it because its really simple and easy to play if you just want to have fun play it its really easy and if you have nothing to do
  17. [R13] Crush Them All 2/5 · US Needs update: I love the game, but it’s been forever since I’ve played, I installed it 3 weeks ago and did the whole delete the account thing so I could restart fresh. And once it reaches the 0 seconds left mark after the 14 day waiting period, it just stopped, so I waited all day today and tried seeing if that did anything, it was still at 0 seconds. It doesn’t let you delete your progress so you
  18. [R60] Crush Them All 4/5 · US Decent Fun Too Many Ads: Fun game but so many ads are annoying
  19. [R65] Idle Slayer 5/5 · US Great idle game: Music is S tier and not one as has been forced upon me. Very grateful for that.
  20. [R77] Idle Slayer 5/5 · US It's crazy to me...: ...how fun this game is without shoving microtransctions or ads in your face. Both are there as options to give you an extra boost but are not forced in any way. And the gameplay is really fun and in depth for an idle mobile game.
  21. [R83] Idle Slayer 5/5 · US Addicting game: I’ve been playing for almost two years now and this game is honestly pretty good. Unlike most other idle games, idle slayer has no forced ads, has ton of scalability especially with the ascension upgrades, and honestly for an idle game, it isn’t really that repetitive. If you’re looking for a game that’s addicting with no ads, I recommend this game for you
  22. [R101] Idle Slayer 5/5 · US If the devs see this then please thank interndotgif: This game kept me going when pets died and I wanted to kill myself. It’s well developed and doesn’t give you ads every 20 seconds it also is just a really fun game that is worth the time it takes to get high level. I thank the devs for this game.
  23. [R16] Crush Them All 1/5 · US New update crashes: The most recent update causes the game to crash every few minutes
  24. [R63] Idle Slayer 3/5 · US Has gone downhill: I have been playing this game for well over a year now and have enjoyed it thoroughly, however the grifting and intentional manipulation of RNG has gotten to the point of ludicrousness. Betting at the slayers lounge? You will roll 10 black tiles in a row on roulette getting your chips. Ask me how I know. Trying to get that excellent armor to progress in the village? Open THIRTY
  25. [R72] Idle Slayer 3/5 · US Eh: Game is kinda fun but I have 1000 days on the game and I can tell you the progression is wayyyy to slow and it gets really monotonous and boring at times
  26. [R78] Idle Slayer 3/5 · US Decent Idle game: The game is decent. Skill tree is very expansive allowing you to get stronger through different ways. Biggest problem for me was how SLOW the progression is. Yes it’s an idle game but i would literally idle for a week and spend hours in game because I’m stuck at one ascension. Also the non idle aspect of the game is quite boring and repetitive. Think of endless Dino jump game. 99
  27. [R81] Idle Slayer 3/5 · GB Could be some improvements: The game is really good don’t get me wrong, I’ve sat and grinded for so long, when you hit standstills at certain coin levels it’s really hard to preserve past them, I think to improve the game you need to make coin drops from boxes either a much higher amount or a much lower chance because it’s all I’m getting and 200no does nothing when I’m in 300de and I’m getting co
