King Crusher - Roguelike Game 9+

This is my first review ever. I love rogue-like games and finally someone did it right for mobile. The mechanics and fights are difficult when introduced but very rewarding once mastered. Items/classes vary but aren’t overwhelming and rely on strategy to make them work well. Clearly the creator wasn’t trying to cash in too which is much appreciated. The art style is also simple, but it’s cute and concise. Primarily I just wanna thank the dev(s) for putting out a thoughtful, super fun game!! ♥️

The game itself is neat , move your sprites around the 3x3 grid by swiping a direction keeping melee up front and ranged anywhere else, all the while staying out of enemy attack patterns indicated by targets that appear on the ground or other enemy movements. The game is a lot of fun and mostly fair in terms of skill will allow progression and paywalls don’t seem to be present unless you want pay to unlock characters faster than the normal grind pace (which isn’t too bad as most characters only have minor differences). My only gripe with this game so far has been once in a while when incarnating ( summoning) a new character the game has frozen and as of now it’s just a close game and reopen fix. Once however the game did take my gems and not unlock the character after it froze and I restarted the app. Other than that a fun game all round. One last thing , I’ll call it a glitch , your gem count seems to randomly say you have odd amounts like 4,444 or 6,666 no matter you actual amount on occasion. It doesn’t affect anything per say but it annoying to think you have a hefty gem count only to click a summon and be denied the amount because you actually don’t have enough. Anyway , good job devs keep up the good work.

This game is very fun however it goes from 5 to 3 stars for a big reason: In order to even enter some stages of the adventure mode you need to fill your team with a specific hero type. For example if it’s looking for a priest class hero you need to have already unlocked a priest character. How do you do this? By summoning a random hero at the cost of gems, with no guarantee that you’ll summon the correct hero type of course. But good news- you can just spend more real $$ and get more gems, wow! Or grind for long periods of time and get them that way (eventually) This is terrible game design. You should be able to at least enter every stage, even if it means that without the intended class it might be more difficult. Getting your hero units past level 2 takes an inordinately long time as well. Honestly I wish they made a version of this for $10 or whatever that nixed all the MTX crapola. I know that’s how most of these blood-sucking apps work but it’s too bad because otherwise this is a really fun game.
