Game is sometimes really fun, but I swear it will decide to randomly screw you over and for multiple playthroughs just not give you any weapons. Pool of weapons and builds need to be refined a bit, shouldn't go through 5 playthroughs with 5 lives each run plus an extra life with the ad, to go out with one or two trophies out of 15 just because you weren't able to buy any weapons.

Fun game, had my characters relatively decently leveled. After the last update I was mid-fight and went out of the app to take care of something urgent. I went back in and was back at the main menu. None of the buttons worked so I closed out and restarted multiple times. Nothing seemed to work so I un-installed and reinstalled and lost all of my data. This is horrendous for UX. I've spent probably 40 hour so hours on leveling the account for it to be lost to something as so stupid.

Pros : no forced ads, daily quest for those who loves grinding, simple yet complex (many combos and item placement). Cons : NO TUTORIAL. After more areas unlocked, it becomes difficult to get items you need, heavily dependent on luck. Maybe a gradually bigger store?? Unique items will make or break your game. Some chars only have one or two combos to get 15 wins, so if you miss that one item, it's a guaranteed defeat. Last one, this game eats a lot of battery!!

Very addicting game. Monetization is pretty predatory however. You can unlock everything in game with currency earned over time but it will take a while. Ads are everywhere but they're optional. They incentivize watching ads by giving you a single life, premium and normal currency and refreshing quests. Be ready to watch a lot of ads if you want to advance. Other than that it's a pretty weird game to have progression in since those who pay or have played longer will dominate newbies most times.

Fun little backpack hero ripoff for sure. Would be 5 stars but there is no option to pay for zero ads. Would pay up to 15 for the option. In addition, as others have noted, unlocking more items hinders building items you want as the pool expands and you have no control over the pool except rerolls. Banishes or favorites or just focused pools would be a major improvement. Until then, only level one character or be boned later on. Leveling a level one hero is Ruby Pantry is awful.

Ok. Game will need some changes in the near future. Have played this for a few days got my fav classes to lvl 7. Quests are too hard, the craft 20 items in one game being impossible almost. Rewards - quest rewards are not good enough. - you've introduced a subscription which is too expensive for what it provides, too early for a membership. - rank should give weekly rewards depending on how high you managed to climb the ladder. Content - missing, 0 socials, 0 events.

I was having a blast until I hit level 4. Now 99% of my fights are against people with items I've never seen, let alone have access to. People with 90 armor and 3 different weapons when I have access to only a shield and wrench. It's near impossible to make any kind of progress like this. Otherwise I love the gameplay and aesthetic and I don't even think the ads get in the way.

My main problem that I haven't seen mentioned, this eats away at my battery, I have a pretty decent phone, there's no reason for my phone to drain with THIS game. I can't play anymore if I value my long term battery life at all. As most say, it's fun and addictive, especially at first. However the difficulty jumps, rng becoming a problem with more items being available and the game mechanics heavily favouring specific combos make the experience a bit grating. also I want my phone to survive

The game itself is fantastic. There's more than enough variety with the characters even if you don't have them all unlocked. The few bucks immediately unlocks so much more play time and I enjoy all of them, even if they're normally not my "style." My one complaint is I despise subscriptions in Mobile games. With how easy they are to forget (~85% of people have at least one subscription they've forgotten) I can't condone it. Making the ad removal a one time purchase would make this game 5/5

Addictive and great game! Simple and yet it needs a strategic placements... But there's still room for improvement : 1. Batery draining problem (batery usage likely equal to a MOBA type of games), 2. Switching for greater bagpack is a hassle, we need to remove items in the bag(s) first 3. When we still have little filled slots, adds a turn button (clockwise and counter clockwise). For easier moving all of the items and bags Thank you for the great game!

Quite impressed by the game that it is playable offline. Even more suprised that it does not contain a battlepass feature, which each mobile game nowadays has. No need to watch adds. Free to play is fair. I spend some money to get all heroes (4.50€ per hero iirc) All heroes are fun and have different play styles. 2 base heroes need to be leveled to level 10 to get all their gear. But i have to say, the game is so well balanced, if you know the synergies, you get easy wins.
