This game is one of those casual games that really gives you several ways to scratch a certain itch when it comes to building up progress and pushing forward in a game. There always seems to be an event going on so there’s always something to strive for. I also spend money on games I enjoy to help support the creators. For this game, I have spent several hundred dollars in support because of my love for this game, but I find that it is constantly and randomly down and unplayable at most times. Due to the game never loading past the starting screen. One time the game broke for 4 days right after an update, this current time I went to sleep for a few hours and now I haven’t been able to get into the game in 6 hours with no explanation, no communication, unable to get into the app to even request help or anything. So if you are a person that takes value in completing events, these in game events are fun but almost impossible to finish based on how poorly operated this game is. This will probably be my only review without a follow up as the amount I have spent on this game vs the inability to play it is greatly unbalanced without dev assistance.

The systems and mechanics in this game are fun but like everyone else says, it’s littered with paid options. If you want to make meaningful progress, you do need their VIP system. Which would be fine but there’s 13 tiers with each costing increasingly more. The total cost of it is absurd (like several hundreds) and honestly pretty tasteless because there are other game features locked behind it. You also can’t really progress unless you leave your device on all day because you need to merge to level up which doesn’t happen while offline. So it’s not really an idle system that lets you progress in a meaningful way. Overall, if you aren’t keen on spending a ton of money or an absurd amount of your time, just play this very casually if you have nothing better to do. Otherwise find something more productive to do with your idle time lol. Convincing the studio to try and lower the pay walls aren’t worth the effort given the cash they get from the whales. These games are just a cash metric system designed to game those with far too much disposable income.In response to the developer response:Sorry but no, I don’t have anything to discuss in private. Maybe you should address the lack of communication on your own Discord and actually respond to players and their grievances rather than update the paid options only.

Really fun game, enjoy the arrow combination and such. However I think some aspects are not good/need to be changed. One thing is prices of in app purchases. While most of them are decently priced, there are a few that are straight up outrageous. I’ve seen a few options well over $100+ “on sale” with the retail price well over that and even $1000+. There’s no reason to have in app purchases anywhere close to $100 to begin with. Another thing is a lot of the info and data about your arrows and characters aren’t explained well. If there was a info on all the stats that would be cool, like damage per arrow with/without effects. And how the skill upgrade skill actually upgrades the skill. Often times I log in the game and my characters are missing from the map and I have to reload the map for them to appear. This new village seems pointless and a waste of diamonds. Looks like a clash of clans knock off. And it takes 10 minutes to remove a tree and can only too one at a time. And 8 hours to upgrade the first home base? It’s a fun game. But becoming more monotonous with little progression without pay to win. But they don’t care as much as long as they get your money first

To get my nitpicking out of the way, there are a bunch of simultaneous events going on right now, and they’re covering my health bar and also going off the bottom of the playable area, so that’s annoying. Also, it doesn’t show what you’re watching the randomly interspersed ads for (for the record, it’s high level arrows). Also also, when you activate the auto merge stat, you can’t turn it off, which should really be a feature they add. The actual gameplay on display is pretty good though, and the PVP is… well, fine, I suppose, I’m not much of a PVP guy. My only actual issue, as opposed to all the nitpicks I’ve mentioned so far, is that it crashes. It’s never a big crash, and it never causes me to lose any progress more than half a second’s worth, but it’s still weirdly unstable. That said, yeah, I’d recommend this game, it’s pretty good.
