Every single day it’s been crashing 6 to 10 times a day. It’s horrible. Devs should be ashamed.
- Carp Finley · v0.66.649
I'm very picky about phone games but not only is this one fun, it's genuinely amazing. If you love DnD and puzzle games you'll love this!
- Dragon Moon · v0.66
Abundant pop ups and very low energy gain
- John Doe
great so far. the graphics and battle stage are new and neat.really fun picking up the basics.
- Joshua Covington · v0.66
I've played for three days. Apart from some normal build times, I've been able to play a ton of different modes. There's some small bonuses for ads, but nothing locked or forced. I'll update my review if that changes
- Zak Pierce · v0.66
this game has been relaxing and fun
- Mr.Death Doom knight · v0.66
It is fun at first, and the core idea is good, but then: 1. At a certain point the progress becomes non-existent. 2. Every time I open the town screen it shows me buy this or that ad. It is annoying to the point that I don't even want to open the game anymore.
- Dmitry Yamaikin · v0.57
Thanks - interesting concept
- Dan Eckardt · v0.66-gpgfpc
Cool game idea, kinda like chess with the different attack directions plus the addition of character skills and progression.
- saxon626 · v0.66.642
good graphics fun to play
- Jimmy Hansen · v0.66
Interesting mechanics
- Sava Narancic · v0.66
too many buy/ buy/buy pop-ups
- Mac Book
I loved this game & it's clever and fun and technically not pay to win...but it became pay to play properly recently. Unfortunately the devs became greedy & introduced new ideas which made it hard to keep up in leaderboards without paying $$ every month. The gatekeeping of essential resources to further improve your heros became a real bugbear of mine. Even paying $20-30/month would not necessarily guarantee you got what you needed to advance even one of the dozens of heros. I ended up quitting
- Hot Jambalaya · v0.60
puzzle-like game which has daily quests but is in 95% PvE and very f2p friendly. highly recommended for any turn based strategy lovers
- Maciej Kania · v0.66
Amazing game... Playing over a year and it gets better and better. Not pay to win at all. almost 2 years playing.... best not to pay game I have tried. I'm normally f2p, but I have spent a bit here just to support creators edit: over 4 years playing. still great game for f2p
- Juan Ignacio Correa Fuentes · v0.65
Love
- Erell Johnson · v0.65
the game has nice graphics and getting you thinking to win, takes little get use to. I got 5 star heros without paying and daily free drop. cons: your inventory gets maxed out quick with heros unless u upgrade castle however cap on coin warehouse i was unable to upgrade my castle so this needs fixing and I got kicked from.guild absent couple to few days , this should be on guild to do not game itself. need be able destroy heros to make space if you want recruit better heros once storage maxed
- Electric Storm
Fun to play. Even more within an active guild.
- Vincent Hanniet · v0.65
played back in 2021, it was nice. now I tried to get my account back and its lost.. I asked support and they threw it away with a generic response that didnt even make sense to what I was asking. very unfortunate. be careful spending money on games that dont have customer support
- Dan · v0.65
Fun puzzle game, cool character designs. Great community. Recommended
- Skunkix Dop · v0.65
fun
- Ilya Arseev · v0.65
Different, music and sounds really taken care of. Overall very good game.
- Wojtek B · v0.65
very fast battles do a 30 minute dnd battle in 30 seconds some good puzzling to avoid boss attacks or wipe out all enemies in one turn position is key. standard pokemon color match ups so it's got that rps too
- Matthew Nelson · v0.65
EDIT: Progress just kind of stops. Levels get too tough to complete and you get 90% of resources for improvement from completing levels. So, definitely pay-to-win. Generally a good game, playing is lots of fun. The controls for mobile are quite awkward and often don't respond the way you expect or want them to, the short timer makes this worse. Strong pay-to-win vibes and progress is slow and not exciting.
- Franco Strydom · v0.65
Fun game. Reminds me of Marble Heroes!
- Solo Gamer · v0.65
Its a great game with a great community. Just be aware that it isn't family=friendly any more, since they decided to change the art style to "virtual anime tittybar".
- Dev Null · v0.65
the battles take to long waiting for the others to take their turn 😔
- Brian Minnick · v0.65
looks amazing but the energy kills the vibe.
- DhaosUchiha
its ok would like a free world setting
- jeff maxwell · v0.65
Great little tactical rpg that is easy to play but challenging to master. Just starting out but it's great so far!
- Mark Washburn · v0.65
very intricate and engaging game play. lots of content. complaint is a lack of transparency in chest content and reward probabilities.
- Logan Hoggard · v0.65
Developers response is openly lying. Extreme monetisation, extremely limited gameplay without spending. Game is F2p for a few hours. After that extreme throttling kicks in to the point of unplayability. A waste of time from a company that lacks basic honesty and integrity. Definately a miss.
- Aaron Wakeham · v0.65
great game.
- Brute Oni · v0.65
This is a mesmerizing game. I've got a feeling it'll eventually become pay2play, but for now: grip it & rip it! Have a blast with whichever 5-Star you get first. Highly satisfying and rewarding.
- Woodbridge Bullock · v0.65
Deep, fun, captures you if you're into the battle mechanics. I have yet to see an ad. Top tier.
- strikkmoez · v0.65
nice game for f2p
- Idi ali · v0.65
Interesting gameplay, the puzzle play style is unlike anything I've played before. So many events! If you find a good guild to play with, it's lots of fun. Seems fairly good for F2P so far... and I have played many of these types of games. Recommended.
- Deb Hamwood · v0.65
edit; three years later and I'm still playing this. it's still a great game with si much diversity. the Devs are constantly doing more I haven't found another game like this. You've got your normal gatcha part but f2p players can still easily progress. The game is brilliant for strategy, with RPG and chess elements. If you like a challenge and nothing idle, then definitely give this a go
- Jon Sydney-smith · v0.65
forced me into a guild with no way to leave.
- Soros · v0.65
great game, but perhaps if there wasn't an ad every minute it might run for more than 5 minutes. Dev_ it's your internal offerings I am referring to. can't return to home page with enduring another buy me window. and it seems to contribute to restarts. I don't know if I have ever closed the game on purpose I just wait for the next lockup .
- S. Alan Shimp · v0.65
This is some seriously good stuff!
- Midava Games
love this game
- Jürgen Strandberg
Entertaining!
- Massi Hannula
Fun tactical battle game with slide and flip puzzle mechanics and a core system that is pretty easy to understand so that you can predict outcomes effectively. Most activities are PVE solo or coop, which I enjoy. The PVP arena is ridiculous and leaves a whole lot to chance rather than tactics. For about six months I played with minimal, rare-occasion spending but my growth is pretty much hitting a pay wall and my battles are mostly either tedious or punishing so my play is falling off.
- Nick C. · v0.65
Very addicting at the start but after a few months of playing, team growth slows down significantly unless you spend money to buy more gems.
- Lauren Gomez · v0.65
In most ways a 4.5* game but the global battle share option as of 10days ago or so doesn't allow me to pick up any fights which is holding me back hugely. They have always been selected by another play before they even come up. Really frustrating
- IAN WARBURTON · v0.64
Recent updates have changed nothing. This game is designed to do one thing. Make you spend ridiculous amounts of money to get the latest and greatest heroes that will give you a small chance at completing their latest event. Which, also hide the best rewards behind a pay wall. By the time you are done this game can easily bleed you $50 to $100 a month and that's before event spending trying to get new heroes. The only thing that saves this game is a good guild and those are frequently full.
- Peter Scott · v0.64
The game got atuck on a merge screen and now it won't do anything. No way to exit the screen, no way to go forward or back. It's been over a year now and no resolution. I had paid for several upgrades and the only response I got from this company was "its a tough fix".
- Andrew B · v0.64
not for me
- Diana & Ken Trojan
What the heck with this idiotic 2:30 min coop team up timer?!? Bring back the 30sec! Personally not at all happy with the a4 as well, but that's cuz I just got my 1st a3 5*, belived im closing on the big guys contend and now the line got moved dramatically away from my reach :( Bring us back the race+colir lead for the exclusive raid chars, we have build entire teams based on those, this is a criminal nerf!!!
- Kamen Dimitrov · v0.64
great game
- Steve Avila · v0.64
The co-op match is the worse
- Ben Chew · v0.64
This is great game with unique gameplay. Edited to 4* because of the game economy, drop rates and rng.
- Ethan Georc · v0.64
wow to play each level
- VINOTH KUMAR
Been playing casually and I’m well entertained.
- Itaghi · v0.64.598
It’s a 5-star hero and content game. However 5-star heroes are next to impossible to get unless you’re willing to spend outrageous sums of money to purchase them. Have been playing over a year and cannot engage in higher content due to lack of heroes with which to play. Don’t waste your time and energy.
- BCubedReg · v0.64.598
Not as friendly for free users (first week I spent like 6€, that's it). Played for 4 months every day, completed every quest I could, lots of grinding and still only had been lucky twice to pull 2 exclusive heroes. And I was kinda ok with that, saving resources to get the 3rd asap. Today they "rebalance" the game and one of them gets his bonus down to a regular hero, despite being rare. Trying your best to get the 3rd and all of a sudden you're back to one. It's really discouraging...
- Gonzalo García Cruz · v0.64
The game is very nice and interesting, but the amount of grind (or whale out on their offers they shove down your throat with every occasion) required to progress in INSANE. The tactical aspects of it are very nice, but be prepared to play for at least a year to get into the juicy decent stuff. If you don't mind the slow progression (kind of a given with f2p games) then it's very interesting.
- Cozmin Velciu · v0.63
Still a great game and the only one I play on my phone, but has slowly become more and more PTW. Unique system which rewards skill and planning.
- Tom Schipper · v0.63
Interesting mechanics and fun game, but I had to uninstall once I found the dragon in the wheelchair character. What are we doing
- A pleasantly surprised user · v0.63.588
This game was fun. I enjoyed the strategy aspect of it. But they made a lot of changes that affected the gameplay and the enjoyment. Worst of which is that they increased the prices of their in app purchases in countries including my own. I know some countries saw an increase of 5x. Hard to recommend.
- F&D player · v0.63.588
Too many pop-ups. The game is fairly simple, just use elementals.
- Dave Doffing · v0.62
pure greed. theyre apt to make something better, realize they could make money, and then make it worse to drive you to spending. best to just avoid this nonsense entirely.
- Brandon Bascue · v0.63
Been playing this game for nearly 4 years. It has grown and developed into a very fun game. Developers talk to their fans through discord. Quickly fix bugs. Recommend playing the game!
- BigJor51 · v0.63.583
The best game of the genre I've ever played BY FAR. Awesome character art and insane variety, easy to learn and very difficult to master, very F2P friendly although if you want to be #1 you most likely have to spend. I've played it casually for 3 years now and I'm still very much engaged. If you can appreciate the journey of collecting and growing your heroes, it's the game for you. I've tried many similar games and even the few I didn't discard immediately bored me after a couple months.
- Akainu Sakazuki · v0.63
We need collabs 🔥
- game destined · v0.63.580
jk super game
- Nikolai KHAIDAROV · v0.62
one of the best strategies, but there's a lot of pop-ups every time you switch through the menu, with tons of paid offers and after a while you start to not care and just close them automatically.
- Vik Shadow · v0.62
fun game, something like a modern chess which you can play with your friends. Just much more enjoyable and easier to understand. Collectable part is also fun. What the game is missing is good real time PVP where both players could play against each other
- Nikolas Žáčik · v0.62
best gameplay mechanics out. everything else is a tired clone. bad reviews are from people too stupid to understand it
- Max Power · v0.62
great game with strategic puzzles. sadly the monetization is through the roof and F2P is almost impossible at medium to high levels. very time consuming if you are a completionist
- Fredrik Park
The core game excellent. As you progress through the game, it requires you to have certain heroes for certain challenges. There's where friends comes in. It's expensive because it requires you to constantly get new heroes and they keep creating new challenges (problems) and offering you the solution (new heroes). I can still tolerate this part. The part I hated is the Temple pulls. Pulling the pet without the hero is really a disaster. It's like baiting you and they refuse to fix that part.
- Dwayne Chin · v0.62
nice game. or it was when i originally started playing it. but now I'm having issues with some levels and after i make my play it freezing up on me. it never continues and you just sit there. I've had to reset the game and I've no telling how much progress I've lost in al but it's allot. have it so i don't waste any more of my time.
- Patrick Stehl · v0.62
Nice gameplay.
- Michael Unger · v0.62
The game itself is solid, easily a 5 star game. However the growth rate for your characters is very slow so -1 star for that. And the sheer number of "get it now before it's gone!" pop-up offers is absurd, every time I open the app there's a pop-up offer or three, Go to a different screen and come back there's more pop up offers, complete a few levels Guess what There's more pop up offers, Oh you got a new character here's some pop up offers. so -1 star for that.
- Eric Saltasia · v0.62
Unique gameplay stands out among the vast multitudes of mobile games, its fun and free to play, and its free of unwanted ads!!!! I'd give 10 stars if I could.
- A Google user · v0.62
Interesting tactics game with movement mechanics that I have never seen before. Very fun so far!
- Laura C · v0.62
even more complex than the adds showed, with very varied gameplay options. super compelling. resource limits are a bit strict, forcing unwanted spending, but this allowes for more experimentation.
- Frikkie de Lange · v0.62
interesting style of play, options to pay but doesn't seem p2w at this stage, very impressed.
- James M · v0.62
Great game
- Sabine B · v0.62
I bought a 9.99 option. And got a message I was charged $40. This is robbery. You still haven’t gotten back to me about my first issue.
- nesalazar · v0.61.567
I love the game and have been a paying player for months. However, if you join the game later, you can NEVER reach the top or close to the top by game design. How you level up is dependent on time and cannot be expedited. It’s still a fun game, but would really like to see a path to reach the top instead of trailing behind in eternity. It discourages late comers.
- Lork197576 · v0.59.546
Ce jeu est un bon jeu de stratégie avec un gameplay original. Malheureusement un drop rate trop faible pour obtenir des personnages 5 étoiles est carrément démotivant quand on sait l’énergie et les ressources qu’il faut pour les faire évoluer, il aurait été judicieux de l’augmenter en cas d’utilisation de 10 parchemins d’avoir au moins 1 personnage 5 étoiles… trop déçu et c’est à regret que je désinstalle ce jeu
- Gromashe · v0.59.546
I go through games like crazy, I usually play them for a week and get bored. F&D has kept my attention for over a year. It plays a lot like Terra battle, but more use friendly. I highly recommend it. I almost never write reviews either. It’s definitely something different than the normal cookie cutter experience.
- Charon187 · v0.56.520
Game is unbalanced to those that pay to play, those that don’t…don’t get same rewards. Poor customer service. Devs don’t care about players just the money.
- Hitter97 · v0.54.510
good but always restart
- nbhyfdx$$45 · v0.54.500
This game is unique. If D&D had a baby with chess it would be this game. The mechanics take a little bit to get use to but it is really fun and challenging too. Like all mobile RPG games you have to grind a bit to level up and get better heroes but it’s fun along the way. Enjoy this gem of a game.
- Joe Digital · v0.54.496
New and unique. Fun to play
- Gh0stS0ldier · v0.53.495
The in game guide overwriting everything is really annoying. I don’t need a finger pointing at “battle” to know that I can go battle. Also, I understand how the game works. Quit forcing me into more and more tutorials where I have to spend resources on characters I’ll never use. Just. Let. Me. Play. The. Game.
- MonoElm · v0.53.495
Using a not too old iPad, from 2021. Other games handle on this iPad is fine, but this game constantly crashes every 20secs. It didn’t crash doing the first chapter but now it crashes so much I can’t even enjoy one full game without it crashes. It needs be optimized badly before I can think spending fair bit of money on here.
- LunerHive · v0.53.495
This is my first day playing and I like it. I’m going to play more tomorrow.
- Rodney Raposo · v0.52.485
I wish we didnt have to join automatically
- XenotheStrong · v0.51.477
I’ve played for a probably a year now and spent hundreds of dollars, it was a great game but now I’m feeling pretty burned by the developers. There is a HUGE level spike at the end of level 28 that’s pretty much impossible without paying out probably several hundreds more. The boss there will silence your whole group every single turn and you can basically do nothing…. Pretty sad because it is a great game but greed always wins I guess…
- Paldurin · v0.51.470
I couldn’t even get past the tutorial. My objectives were clear, but how I was actually supposed to achieve them was a complete mystery. Game mechanics are just not explained at all.
- Sellianne · v0.50.465
They keep adding “features” that make the game worse. It used to be that you could predict how the team would fight with math. Now they added critical attacks for all heroes and monsters and it’s not fun anymore. Your heroes can die even if you plan things right. This is not the game I decided to like. They need to stay true to the main principles of the game, not make it more like a random game of chance.
- Nobody01773 · v0.48.425
I’ll review when I actually play
- X*E*N*O · v0.42.364
Game is fine so far. Slightly seems Pay to win. One big thing I wish they implement is being able to auto skip stages you’ve 3 starred already. And more stamina to play the game.
- 1 and only me · v0.40.347
It’s a great game, a lot of fun, but every time comes the update, keep stuck all day, and it’s impossible enter the game, it’s very annoying thing
- Geminis0707 · v0.39.344
I have been playing the game for two months now and it’s interesting. The challenge of making the best possible move in the allotted time is unique. The differing skills across the heroes adds to the challenge since you get to select which heroes to bring to each fight. I will say that the devs are living up to their goal of being very friendly to f2p players. The drawback to this, or perhaps it is because the is still expanding, is that features are constantly changing without warning. So if you’re f2p it should only affect your time and you can adjust to all of the changes as you go. If you spend, be aware that you will quite possibly not receive entirely what was expected. Update March2023: Still playing but I often wonder why. Regular changes and updates might seem like a good idea, indicating an engaged develop staff, but they rarely implement smoothly. If you play, be ready to encounter a steady stream of maintenance breaks and times where the game is just unplayable.
- Poo Flinger Jr · v0.39.342
I’m going to keep this simple. It WOULD be a 5 star game and I don’t hand out 5 stars in reviews ever if it weren’t for 1 thing. This arena is the most stupid function of a video game I have ever played in my 45 years of playing video games. I don’t know what genius thought they were being brilliant designing it but it’s a complete failure. Ether completely overhaul the arena or just dump it period. It’s the only reason I haven’t spent decent money yet on this game and the only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars.
