Don’t bother. You’ve played this game before. It’s nothing different nor spectacular when compared to literally every single other roguelike on the App Store. I hate the time we live in because devs are brainless greedy clowns who just copy a successful game and try to ride the money wave, no matter how short that wave is. The Ads are ridiculous, I remember when ads were like 10-15 seconds, but every Ad is a minute long! A whole minute!!! You can literally spend 45 minutes just watching ads and collecting bonuses. Wow that’s so coooooool… Quit copying games, if you can’t come up with your own idea then don’t make something. You’re just saturating the market with more garbage. The minions….I HATE THE MINIONS. All they do is follow you and make hardly any attempt to grab nearby mobs. So they crowd you like you’re on a busy subway, which makes it impossible to see the floor. So you’re just praying that you walk over a health pot or a magnet or chest. You can’t see!!!! I’m only at lvl 5 and I’m already seeing nothing but a sea of gray. I couldn’t imagine level 20 or 30, I would need a phone the size of a cookie sheet to see what the heck is going on because it’s nothing but minions everywhere. The power ups are weak. Most roguelikes offer merge bonuses are mastering bonuses, but nah 5% this or that and that’s it. You may not be limited on how many power ups you can have in your list but they’re boring as heck. It’s also weird that you have to stop to shoot, but if you have 250 minions on screen then there’s no real reason to move anyway. Dumb. Spending currency on chests is also way too random. I bought a 1500 diamond chest just to receive a green quality item. Second time was a blue, but it wasn’t better than what I already had…that’s probably $10 IRL had I not had diamonds saved, what a waste. -Screen is too crowded -Powerups are boring -Ads are too long -Diamond purchases on chests are too random
The game operates as expected: you level your stuff up (equipment, character, and minions), raise undead in battle, and go through stages with new enemies in each. The game has a fun repetitiveness that brings you in and entertains you. That being said, the game itself has some core flaws. The undead sometimes don’t attack, and your entire horde will just stand there as you’re being pummeled without swinging or firing anything. With that, some of the larger summons don’t even fire back or do their abilities. I had three bomb-orcs just stand there and take dozens of hits before even firing once. Then they stood there again and died. The menus are also all kinds of jankie. Lots of “watch an ad to get a bonus”, but no notification when anything is available and ever-present notifications for things that cost money being present. An example being: I won’t stop being pinged that I can buy money, but it won’t tell me if my roll is ready for the event. The equipment system is also wholly undescribed and I’ve still yet to figure out why a twice-merged common weapon is lower on the priority from a completely new common weapon. There’s no help function or even a description on how most of it works. This app still feels like it’s suffering from release-pains, so I’ll change my review if anything manages to change with this. For better or worse.
This game just came out and it’s already amazing!, there’s not too many Ad’s like other mobile games which i love, the minion feature is unique and awesome, and every round feels fun and different, my only complaint is that you cant choice which direction your staff shoots, but other than that the game is a 10/10, highly recommend!
