Welcome to the world of Kanstein, where your adventure is what you make it!
Sword x Staff is a one-of-a-kind RPG — a “Third Way RPG.” Strategy, massive world exploration, idle—why pick one when you can have it all? Go hardcore, or just vibe—either way, you’ll find your own kind of fun here. The kind that actually feels different. No pressure, no one way to play—just jump in, explore, and let the adventure click your way. Curious what the gameplay is really like? So, welcome to the unique world of Kanstein, and experience the one-of-a-kind Third Way adventure. Here, you are the Chosen Adventurer transported to this isekai! Team up with the Staff and Sword Twins and dive into a quest to save the world. Pierce through thick fog, dig up forgotten treasures, and explore a huge interactive world at your own pace. Mix and match over 200 skills to create a fighting style that’s uniquely yours. Best of all, you’ll meet amazing allies to fight by your side against legendary Hieromons! Of course—Remember, all of this can be enjoyed completely pressure-free, since the idle gameplay making resource gathering a breeze! [Idle Game, but with a massive interactive world] Most idle games have you waiting. Sword x Staff lets you actually go somewhere. Step into a huge world map where every region has its own vibe and secrets to uncover. Roam the lush wilds of Verdantglade, face the clash of steel and instinct in Cinder Ridge, drift through the mist-shrouded waters of Aqualis, and uncover the ancient bronze ruins hidden within Loong Haven. Every region brings new sights, companions, treasures, and those "just one more look" moments. And even when you're offline, your adventure doesn't stop. Resources keep piling up while you rest, and the Traveling Merchant shows up with rare goods while you're away. Log back in, cash out, and keep going. [Deep strategy, but easy to jump in] Strategy is fun because of freedom, not because it needs a spreadsheet. Everything starts with the classic Warrior & Mage dual-class system, branching into 200+ skill combinations and playstyles. Mix skills, change cast order, swap elemental builds, and fine-tune your setup however you like. No fixed meta. No single "right" answer. Just true variety and real flexibility, and plenty of room to experiment. Keep it casual, or go full theorycraft mode. How deep you go is completely up to you. [Progress Without the Grind] Power up without the endless farming. Even while you're offline, resources stack up, characters grow stronger, and progression keeps moving. Lie back, rest up, and wake up stronger! Watch clouds drift across the Floating Islands, stargaze from your cozy cabin, hunt for hidden treasure, or level up while doing absolutely nothing heroic for a minute. Easy progress, low stress, steady rewards—that's what we call relaxed, efficient progression [Auto-Battles Are Easy, But Never Boring] Tired of idle games where heroes just stand still? Here, AI-driven characters adapt to the battlefield—repositioning, predicting enemies, chasing targets, and unleashing ultimate skills. Auto-battles aren’t boring—they’re tactical, flashy, and full of epic combos. [Unique avatars, without looking the same] Your avatar is yours, full stop. Go bold with wild hairstyles, unusual features, standout looks, or choices that are a little chaotic in the best way. Make something cool, weird, stylish, hilarious—or all four at once! No "same face, different outfit." Make it 100% original. Walk into town and stand out. In Kanstein, being unforgettable is part of the fun.

I really like the game and the concept but I still don't know how to edit my avatar but other than that the game is amazing!
- Bailey Hudgeon · v1.0.0
game is a lot of fun, good graphics, excellent music and the voice over acting just drives it home. however, there are alot of bots that I have found while playing, they will add you, say theyre 24 and from Australia, then ask for your Discord.
- License to Kill · v1.0.0
ads are fake and there's no actual gameplay the "game" plays itself. there's no game here. it's just luck and auto. zero skill or user effort whatsoever there's no point in this. you're either spending money to auto better than others or begging whales to auto with you.
- Todd Broom
I usually don't like turn style games but this ones good
- Tucker Chubb · v1.0.0
Cool game, loving it so far
- jason woodrow · v1.0.0
This game really surpised me. I was hesitant cuz most games like these (in my experience) are just cash grabs. But not this one. Also, great game. I would recommend even for a 5 year old.
- Pro Hacker · v1.0.0
shockingly good rpg with some mmo-lite elements. has just enough system depth to feel fun without being overwhelming. that being said, the layers of monetization can be a bit munch but, also expected for a mobile game
- david shiverdecker · v1.0.0
great game ads are nothing like it tho
- Ryan Thomas · v1.0.0
love the game play, especially the fact that it isn't pay to win. I do get frustrated when progression is level locked because there is only so much XP you can gain per day.
- RevDragonus (RevDragonus) · v1.0.0
well i tried this game spend some money on it and at the end i will say It's boring all your dailies can be done in 60min it's p2w like almost all smartphones games but devs are too much greedy on people money so there is walls all the time so spend lots of $ or spend 10 times more time to get somewhere... it's bs... nobody wants to create games like for example: Albion online, Runescape, Pubg because there is no p2w there is subs and memb and not p2w but this one is p2w definitely and boring
- Getting Smarter
like many others have said before me, this game loses its fun fast. progression being locked behind xp gain (which is one of the only resources that you have to wait for) means even if you are strong enough to progress, you can't. In my server, I was around rank 50, but rank 1 was 3x my power and their lead was growing. rewards are lackluster, "gameplay" is dull, and time commitment is wasted. the only thing that keeps this from rock bottom for me were the players, who were fun to talk with.
- Grant Donovan
it's very fun
- Karl_kam26 · v1.0.0
Honestly it's very straight forward and exciting to play it doesn't require any payment for you to progress plus it's great to chill I highly recommend it
- Edward Openshaw · v1.0.0
loving the game!!
- Wian Van Veelen
Fun concept but the deluge of notifications every time I log in and absurd number of menus I have to navigate to collect rewards means I spend almost all my time navigating the UI to make red dots go away. Absolutely atrocious user experience. I want to play the game, not spend all my time hunting down buried rewards in the UI.
- Peter Larkin · v1.0.0
totally not like the ad. graphics suck too.
- Robert Mccaslin · v1.0.0
The game is very easy to learn, and it is very fun. The game runs very smooth on a standard mobile device, and it's not pay to win like most rpg's. This game is very enjoyable for people of all ages, and fun. The game is a 5 so far, and I recommend. I have been getting ads for this game for about 2 months, and I folded and downloaded it. Don't sleep on this game!
- CheeseAndPotatos · v1.0.0
this game is amazing!!!! I love how much customization I could do to my charecter and that i could play with friends, (main thing that made me be able to spend more time with my dad) its a fun game where you could explore different worlds and fight against many different monsters and creatures. the only problem i have with this game is that the game doesn't save your progress if you have to switch servers to play with your friends. other than that, I love this game ( ☆∀☆)
- Janine Paras · v1.0.0
I'm having fun playing this game
- leo moon · v1.0.0
this game is very fun indeed, I'm still very new to tge same as its only day 2
- Star · v1.0.0
I'm addicted but not in a bad way
- amber rose · v1.0.0
There is literally no game here. What is even taking up my space? I installed it days ago and progress is still zero percent. Wooooow. A cookie cutter response that I couldn't even see without going into my Email telling me to use an IN GAME TOOL to contact them on a review saying there's nothing to install.
- Branden Kroskie · v1.0.0
It's a good game, however it tends to crash from time to time. Perhaps more optimization is needed
- Ozone Layer (Perry) · v1.0.0
Very relaxing
- Animu Fezzil · v1.0.0
pretty good game overall
- Casndi So · v1.0.0

- Eduardo Oliveros · v1.0.0
I don't know who did the math for you guys but they clearly can't do simple math. 1.02 off of something 3.97 is not "700% value". you can't just slap bs labels on all things you can buy.
- Gavyn Music (Weirdo) · v1.0.0
Not only does the game crash every fifteen to twenty minutes and even fail to load sometimes because of login errors, but now I can't even get on after maintenance was done. It keeps saying that the server list failed to load. And the cache takes up more space than the actual app for some reason? Aside from that, you don't get enough iron and mana to keep up with your level. And dungeon runs take up so much time that I wish you could just skip to the end of them.
- Baroque-Draft Enthusiast · v1.0.0
good game
- Shubham gosai · v1.0.0
after the update I lost all my game data I had just started the game yesterday but I still played a decent amount and don't wish to redo all of that it seemed like a pretty decent game but since I lost all my data for no reason I see no reason to still have it or rate it good
- Ace Grinnell
The wait times are atrocious. I waited 19 hours to level up 1.5 levels to unlock the next area. 5 minutes of gameplay and now to unlock the area after, I have to wait for 2x levels? so 24 hours of waiting for 5 minutes of gameplay? Get lost.
- Ben Ferguson · v1.0.0
It's not horrible, but it's generally a standard phone game. There's no ads, but it's made up for with a pay-to-win issue. Also, being an AFK game, the majority of growth is made when NOT playing. barely passing the bar of identifying as a game. There should be a "Receive all daily gifts" button, but there couldn't be because doing so would shave the actual gameplay down to about 15 minutes a day without spending money. That's an AFK game for ya.
- World Breaker Novels (Billyfork) · v1.0.0
For some reason i keep getting an error code saying that service is not available in my location. support is also slow.
- BIGGO · v1.0.0
A great game
- erfan azad · v1.0.0
I can't find my brother on the game first of all and then I logged in one day and my whole account got resetting all my progress is gone everything I had is gone and no I'm not going to grind all over again because I was a level 58 and I'm not going to do all that over again
- Jayden Hollingsworth
good game if you need more power you need to spend,if you have patience you can clear levels with afk rewards
- Prashanth Umapathy · v1.0.0
Absolutely loving it so far! I'm in a great guild and really enjoying the gameplay
- Never T. Morrow · v1.0.0
You pull for ability fragments, not characters. Game heavily relies on teaming with other players via slow automated matchmaking. This means you cant build teams, you have to hope you get a whale to carry for good rewards. Exploration is manual but more of a chore than fun. Combat is completely automatic and boring. Progress is gated by player power via about 8 resources which are gated by stamina and daily CD. Anoying red dots are awkwardly behind multiple layers of UI for everything.
- Steven Hubbard · v1.0.0
easily the best mobile game I have played in years, extremely friendly to F2P, and there are no ads. perfection.gif
- Lynn Goodman · v1.0.0
Pretty good game despite the fact that most progression is locked behind being afk for so many days or hours at a time. However 1000 of my premium currency was deleted and after filing a ticket they refused to help me or recover in any way, game is extra greedy on forcing money out of your wallet, moreso than most mobile games. Good potential I hate to see squandered.
- Matthew Goldsmith · v1.0.0
Cute, chill game that's casual but doesn't feel like an auto-battler as much a super ultra casual rpg. Which it is, so that settles that.
- lenny · v1.0.0
after update they messed up and didn't reimburse credit that where spent
- Daniel Schultz · v1.0.0
I've encountered a variety of bugs and issues the leveling up feels slow only really happens from the afk feature and I've also been dealing with a bug that prevents me from adding new friends to my friends list I'm currently at nine and it's saying I'm at max even after removing one it still says it edit. I'm surprised with the response time mainly my issues are what I said and resources disappearing not getting what I bought and it never feels i make very much progress for my level or stats
- Loki Baker · v1.0.0
Super enjoyable and loads of fun.
- Douglas Meister · v1.0.0
fun time killer
- layne jackson · v1.0.0
The Good: Well polished, great mechanics, good group enviorment, fun to play The Bad: P2w asf, designed to make your frustrated with your power and progress so dont expect a grind, some punishment in progress for poor decison making, a bad roll on f2p can mean a new account is needed
- Cole · v1.0.0
cute art, nice mechanics, and consistent events. Season-based gameplay prevents permanent power scaling oversaturation, keeping gameplay centered around synergizing skills and cooperating with other players. Highly social, but chat features need some work. Also highly p2w but still fun as f2p. You run out of things to do if you play too much, so I wish they had a way to actively grind... but oh well. I enjoy the game and devs aren't too greedy so it's 5 stars for now.
- Alex Stoyanov · v1.0.0
not for F2p players.
- Rosie Baetiong · v1.0.0
So cute! Great art, amazing character customization, battle is both interactive and auto option, lots of ways to level up, and multiplayer!
- Jessica A. · v1.0.0
The gameplay is pretty seamless, it does very well with explaining core mechanics along with providing loads of enjoyment along the way. 10/10 from me :)
- james shelton · v1.0.0
Started playing this game a few days after its release. It has potential to be a quality game but as of 7/10/2026, it's far from it. Why? I have never seen or played a game on any platform as riddled with time-gated progression walls as this. For instance, the new area that just opened up, 38 locations makes it sound big... but VERY tiny and you could easily explore the entirety of it all in 15mins, however absurd time walls, it takes 20 DAYS!! 15 mins of playing time stretched to 20 days....
- Cory Jordan · v1.0.0
much better than the ads make it seem
- Max Landers · v1.0.0
its a ok game nothing exciting and had abit false ad.
- steven rose · v1.0.0
Do not purchase anything in this game. Money are gone but the item was not delivered in game. It is still in Welcome gift (😂🤣). Gifts are something you get for free. But these devs don't care. The more you play, the more money you will be required to spend on order to progress. This is what everybody is saying, at least those who were more lucky then me with their transactions.
- Den
Awesome game so far, I love the gameplay, the graphics could be better but no complaints. The world is full of things to do, farming battling pvp matches, guilds costumes, upgrades its every RPG fans dream down load Sword and Staff today.
- Tony Mercer Jr · v1.0.0
pretty fun idle game, reminds me of fire emblem
- The 1 Corgi · v1.0.0
Very fun, and I haven't had to spend actual money to progress in the game.

- cosmic Fox · v1.0.0
really great game to be honest I will recommend to y'all to try this game first before saying anything
- STATUS DHAMAKA · v1.0.0
the app take my WHOLE gbts and takes 38 years to load and its kinda boring
- Diego Perez
Just another P2W numbers go up game with AI Voice acting, and lazy whale bait content.
- Joseph MacKie · v1.0.0
very epic game
- Miracle Willcut · v1.0.0
this is so much fun
- Sara Russell · v1.0.0
very p2w
- Adam Nonyabusiness · v1.0.0
amazingly fun game! I could play it for hours
- Curt Evans · v1.0.0
Not a safe place for minors. The company seems to be protecting pedophiles instead of players on their discord mod team. Please keep minors away, this game doesn't care about them.
- iEmily
it is not like those fake games this one is a real and fun game. I hope the creator makes a new one
- FLORES ARTURO · v1.0.0
It's a nice game to play. The ads almost ruined it for me, but I'm glad I tried it for myself. Would love if we could play with an NPC team.
- I Am Who I am · v1.0.0
The F2P and P2P gap is severe, in an already repetitive game. It doesn't feel like it has enough to hold long term interest. it's fun for a week or two though.
- Richard Murdock
Season 2 is not off to a good start. Confused how class conversion works, I converted to a different class. Tried to reach CS, hoping there's a fix to the problem. They said it's how it works, now I missed the 8-hour undo window. *sigh*
- Chang Nitura · v1.0.0
it's a great game but there are some agitating things, such as the gear grind your limited to 4 dungeons a day with drops being for opposite class more then your owne class with no way to save or adjust prefix stats. auction system isn't worth your time people sell low but bids get way to high, I'd rather trade. and honestly events aren't that great or rewarding aside from the first collab. all and all it's a fun game but, it's impossible to get half the titles without a wasting all your time.
- Brady Thomas · v1.0.0
An all around not boring game rewarding even for f2p. My only suggestion would be that when a new player checks online for class reviews, should not find statements like "Duelist best and easiest" or "Sage is a nightmare until Arcanist if f2p". Yes, whales can do what they like but the game should also protect gamers enjoying support roles (like me). I tried and indeed playing Duelist up to 100 then go Arcanist looked like the stress free choice. Should not be like this either for Sage or Knight
- A Resonant Soul · v1.0.0
P2W and unbalanced. Certain builds, like summon and healing sage, are useless. Damage and money is the only thing that matters. Time sensitive weekly events make it terrible to try to participate from a different time zone. Dungeon balance progression is so flawed that you need whales to carry endgame. Auction House incentivises p2w since you can buy permanent stat foods, better gear with real money, etc. The amount of different battle passes and pricing is also incredibly predatory. Stay away.
- Kien Nguyen · v1.0.0
When I first got this game I thought it would be a silly game but I was dead wrong. This game is amazing with things to do no matter how long you play!! I had lost my account due to my phone needing to be reset but it took two hours but the live helpline got me back to my character and all my progress was restored!!! I recommend this game because there's zero ads i mean ZERO not a single one pops up regardless of you buy anything in the game or not it's a chill place people aren't toxic!
- Jazmine Padilla · v1.0.0
It's not bad, one thing that does suck is you can't really get clothing. Apart from events, it does not matter if you grind enough to get event tokens, only pop ups to pay to get more tokens. If you wanna get clothing besides an event you gotta pay, you don't even get a little bit of the paid currency not even from comms or quests. Spend money to get clothing. Great another one of those games
- Zein Xue · v1.0.0
I've seen this game advertised for some time now, and it had peaked my interest. So I gave it a shot. normally these types of games don't hold interest to me because: 1. Energy base 2. microtransaction 3. UI 4. in-game ads. surprisingly for me, no in-game ads. UI is good and not an eyesore to navigate. microtransaction is a turn off for me but wouldnt stop me from playing. the energy system i highly dislike because it gatekeeps me from playing the game as I start to enjoy it. overall it's good.
- Reggie Yang (Zennro) · v1.0.0
Way too huge, my phone stopped working and I was forced to uninstall apps by My Phone's software. Uninstalling this extremely massive app.
- A. B. (N/A) · v1.0.0
I have been grinding so hard it's so addictive
- Torri Bell · v1.0.0
A bit grindy as a f2p player, but not enough to take away any enjoyment. Everything is very easy to understand, and the combat is pretty smooth. (Edit: forgot to mention how good the art, story, and voice acting is)
- Brandon Childers. · v1.0.0
Fun game, really no need to spend a lot of money.
- Jesse Walchli · v1.0.0
interesting fun game to idly grind
- Skylar McElvain · v1.0.0
the game didn't let me use ai to make my character. False advertisement.
- Alexander Pierce · v1.0.0
I really do like your game I started playing it from the very beginning but then when you guys start putting these commercials up that have nothing to do with the game or even look like the game felt very disgusted just decided not to play anymore
- biofrog · v1.0.0
fun and growing on me
- A Bowens · v1.0.0
interesting little game at the start but very quickly comes to a halt, energy doesn't regen fast enough, only maybe half recharged after a full day and very obviously just trying to get you into it before walling you in hopes you pay. also other than equipment and build you don't have control over combat
- Brenden Whitney · v1.0.0
loving the game so far
- Amar VK · v1.0.0
like a mini chibi mobile version of genshin impact. so fun! and cute!

its really good but its p2w im rn at 2.4m power and at top 90 the top 10 at 6m power!
- ناروتو zx · v1.0.0
Love the game so far..... haven't had a whole lot of spare time to invest playing in a of yet, but for what I've been able to commit I am actually particularly content with this game...
- Eli Martin · v1.0.0
Fun Game. The one star? THE MOMENT I reached level 10. I was bombarded by people adding me, asking for my discord or to play a different game called Infinity Kingdom. Repeatedly. Saturated with spammers. Run far away. Devs? Clean up your game.
