Neat

I like the game. The fighting I really like and each hit has weight to it. The music is tribal and fits with the style and theme. I really like the combat and besides a few times I’ve never looked back on a time I lost and thought the cpu was being cheap. The only thing I dislike is the career mode. It’s where you choose a character with unique strength and endurance stats (you get to choose only one, but can reveal others that might have better gear and stats with gold coins). After every fight you get three options, one free the other two with gold coins, to upgrade either gear or your two stats. There are three stats that you upgrade once you level up, but they are useful after fights. fight and level him up until death, when he dies you start over again, but you can use gold coins for permanent upgrades. The permanent upgrades never increase damage and leveling up doesn’t either, so unless at the end of the battle get a better weapon or an increase in strength you can’t increase damage. If I’m unlucky with the stuff I get I’ll only be able to increase health and health regen items with money, and I’ll fight people that have 100 less health but double the damage I do so the fights drag on and it just isn’t as fun. To change it I’d add in a third star you can upgrade that increases damage, and make the gear or stat upgrades bigger than increments of one or two.

First of all, thank you so much for this review! And regarding your complaints about the Career mode, they're good points and I totally agree. The true random nature of the upgrades can put you in a very good or a very bad situation. I think that for the next update I will (among other things) address this problem and make the upgrades take into account your current stats and be less random. Thanks again, GoneTogue!

Excellent but kinda short

The game itself is the best game I’ve ever played. The combat just has something in it that makes it super fun and this game is also a good game to just use 1 or 2 minutes doing a fight or beating the game with 15,000 or 30,000 fame. But that is where the problem comes in. I felt happy and excited when I was talking to the emperor about making a farm or fighting in the arena. When I said I wanted to keep fighting I fought a guard that was no match fore my 1050 HP. And I thought then I could play the game for an endless amount or until I had 100,000 fame. But, I instead had to give up my progress with my boy having 30,000 fame as a statue. If the developer sees this, I just want him to make the game last longer because it can be a bit short if you are good at games like these. But the game is the best game I’ve ever played like I said before. That is just the one issue with this game. Hope you fix it because I feel that not just me but many people will be happy that it goes further than just 30,000 fame. And maybe add 2 or 3 more arenas like a prison level or a level where you are a fighter for god. I think that would be really cool so I hope you read this dev! Excellent and very fun game though.

Online and button mapping

Hello developers when I first saw your game I immediately fell in love with it eventually I eventually got the game on my phone. Now for the little changes I know your probably a small Indy game team and I don’t expect you to get on this right away but I just though it would be nice to add online play to the game. I know that can be a challenge especially if you have a small team ( which you probably do) but I just think it would be a fun feature so you can rank up in competitive play or just casual games against other players or you can just play with some friends and see who’s the best. Besides that another thing I want changed is the button mapping. Sometimes I end up pushing the wrong button and losing so I just want a feature where you can change where the buttons can be placed ( this might also help for left handed people as well). Anyway these are my little suggestions for the game and maybe you can add these later. Well I’m still gonna play the game and support you. I hope you ( or your team) keep making amazing games and keep up the good work!😁😁😁

Hey, thanks for your suggestions! I've just recently added online multiplayer to the game. It doesn't have a lot of features yet, but it's a start to see how it goes. Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think! :D
