👏 Good job on this one guys! I love this game and find it interesting to play. The graphics are pretty good and the sound effect as well. Like others, I will say this game has great potential! Please work on improving the game and adding new things because I enjoy it and would want to see it improve. I have one suggestion. ☝️ (PLEASE add better fighting skills with the characters!) You could add a dodge or a somersault button to improve gameplay experience. Because it can be very disappointing to fight people without real-life reactions. Make the game captivating and give it more action, and you’ll have more people downloading it! 👏

The good, the bad, the ugly…

This is a stunningly beautiful game. It has a solid story line, and excellent gameplay. Very excited to see a samurai game in this genre. Unfortunately, this game is lacking in content, and the developers need to hustle and add more events, quests, and locations. It is very difficult to achieve the basic building quests, as storage is grossly inadequate and the exchange for earnings, too little. For those willing to invest in the game, there is not a whole lot offered to purchase. A few deals pop up in the beginning only. The Dojo and Arena features are great. But all players old and new are just thrown together. So it is impossible to earn equipment and hero fragments for anyone aside from the handful that have been playing from the beginning. Or willing to spend an insane amount of money and catch up. There needs to be power tiers. It seems that customer support does not actually exist. There have been game bugs I’ve come across, including not receiving earned rewards. I wrote to CS including screenshots- and It’s been weeks without a response, nonetheless compensation. Overall, this game is fun to play and has a lot of promise. The developers will need to fix the bugs and add more content, to keep players interested. I really hope to see this happen!

Great game that does not require spending lots of $$$

So far, I am really enjoying this game. It does not appear to be pay to play or pay to win, although I have purchased a few inexpensive packs to support the developers and to enhance gameplay. I’m not sure how long this game is been around, I do hope to see, continued in expansion and enhancements. Give it a try, I think you will enjoy.

Has potential

Great graphics, and reasonably entertaining. Very poorly balanced though. * Item durability drops super fast. For about 10 enemies, the weapon is broken * The prices to sell loot are lower than the cost of the durability to procure them. Especially early in the game, you lose money by playing. * There is a very basic talent system but the talents do not feel meaningful. The benefit they add is miniscule * The way to upgrade your gear is by finding lower quality items and combining them into higher tier ones. Great system but the inventory space is so limited and so expensive to upgrade, that this is more frustrating than it needs to be * There is an energy system used for collecting raw materials - this one actually feels well balanced * There should be a way to collect the currency for upgrading storage through watching adds even if it's very limited. Overall, its a game which tries very hard to make you spend money by making most gameplay elements as frustrating to use as possible. Nothing wrong with the goal of making money, but I'd be more inclined to invest in a game I enjoy playing with added QoL improvements than one where all basic mechanics require constant spend.

Has potential

Game has potential, unfortunately the time investment is ridiculous given the 3x combo to upgrade + quests for money with large quantities of items and never enough storage for them. There is no option to sell junk directly, and recycling weapons/armor give next to nothing. In short, grind is tuned way up intentionally to slow progress to either make up for lack of content or to boost IAP. I gave up after estate level 5 unlocking night/day mode and more items - making storage even more impossible than before.

Really fun! Always play in between classes

I’m in college and sometimes I have time in between classes that is too short to do anything productive, but too long to just do nothing. I never get bored and I look forward to whatever the devs have planned for this game! Plus it’s not pay-to-win which is rare to find nowadays.

Lots of work

This game is a time investment, I don’t recommend if you have things other than playing the game to do in your life. Lots of work to level up and most of the time when you watch an ad to make things easier the whole game crashes. When you restart, it doesn’t give you what you watched the ad for and you can’t watch the ad again. I wish I had the time because I don’t really want to uninstall it, I just have to get back to my life.

Almost…

Well folks, I am deleting this after a couple months of play. It’s a real shame because the graphics, music and overall experience are great at first. I always buy the upgraded battle pass and increased speed/ability pack to show support for the devs HOWEVER with the addition of the silly turn based heroes in lieu of any actual value added content, I’m done. The game has potential but I’m not gonna play the same go/fetch game while hoping for neat stuff and getting garbage. So long.
