It was fun at first then got super repetitive and the ads stopped working on the very last screen of them, after the 30 seconds, there's an idle screen for 12 seconds then after that you have to click an arrow to get back to game and get rewards except the arrow never works, so you have to close game and get skeeted out of rewards, you think you're gona make money off me watching an ad but not give me the reason I watched the ad in the first place? I think not, uninstalled

It's fun, but there needs to be a couple features added. A damage recap at the end of the fights so you know which heroes and gladiators are doing the most damage or healing would be great. Also, the ability to favorite gladiators would be helpful, since when selecting gladiators for a fight, there is no way to tell which ones have specific abilities. Or maybe have a pop-up displaying their skills when you are selecting them.

While the game is a lot of fun to play, it is extremely buggy and has no way I can find to contact support with issues. My main issue is that if a gladiator dies it can be brought back with a resurrection potion, which you can only get through in app purchases. But the game has never actually given me back my dang gladiators! I spent $5 on a legendary barbarian pack, he died, I used a potion and *poof* him and the potion are gone forever. Waste of money. There are more issues but no space.

Ads ads and more ads. Ads for bonus content is fine, but forced ads on top of that is asinine. No ability to remove all ads either, just "we'll let you pay for ad tickets so you can skip 7-10 ads a day". Then there's the glitchy "event" knife throwing game. It's buggy and will randomly jump to different positions. Not speed up, immediately change positions. Not worth the time or money.

Stellar, but advertisement heavy. If you guys are opposed to a one time purchase option of immediately receiving advertisement rewards, set your price and duration, although I would say a one time purchase of $9.99 should be enough to make advertisement rewards instant. It would dramatically improve the quality of life experience for the players and you watch how the retention skyrockets. Right now I've spent $50 in 2 days and it doesn't even feel like I'm playing the game but watching ads.

Core gameplay loop is boring. Additionally, there's no skipping easy fights and there is tedium in having to set up your team every single stage—too much tedium because of the number of stages you might just be passing through. Being able to set preferred units would alleviate this particular problem. Very little customization, and no meaningful difference perceived between unit types at the stage of the game where I am stopping. Just not that into it.

If you don't allow then to track you, they have a message that takes up top third of the screen warning, you are making it difficult for them to maintain the game and it doesn't go away and if you touch it, then it takes you to the privacy settings plus they ask you to go through the privacy settings again everything you log on which is 4 additional clicks. Stopped playing before I finished tutorial but seems like it's going to be an AD farm game.

I'm not sure what everyone means by all the ads. The only ads I see are optional and that's to get rewards and or double up. I wouldn't play if it had non stop ads. I will say it needs a backup feature because I would spend money if it had it. I would also recommend you lower the cost of the event stuff. Too quickly it ends and very expensive for those on a budget. That's all, great game and I do play everyday. Implement these changes and I promise you'll get people to pay more. They'll buy!

Edit: Looks like it was just a network issue in their end. Now that I know all is good I will definitely raise my rating. The game is really fun. It does hit a wall sometimes but after letting the game grind for a bit you can usually pass it. Definitely woth checking out. Seems I've lost my account. I thought it auto synced with Google since I wasn't ever asked to sign in and now I've been forced to start over. I was really enjoying the game and even put in a little money. Disappointed.

I love the idle action and the fact that I can level up quickly, however I am finding that the game has a few bugs. For one, when you click on an add for an interesting app and then go back to the game, it will reload the entire game and put you back where you were. This makes it unclear if you received the boost for the add or not. Also the game will crash randomly while loading or playing and then will take many tries to reopen again. If this were fixed I think I would give five stars.

I really really love the game, but there are some bugs to work out. At times the game interface goes completely inoperable in the manner that when you try to click on any of the accept buttons, the game doesn't register. If they could get that fixed, it would be a very solid 5 stars. The bug is extremely frustrating, even closing the game out or resetting my phone doesn't solve the bug most of the time.

It's a really fun game. The inability to advance without sitting idle for 8 hours or buying something is getting to be quite annoying. Also, when you go to exit out of the ads, it'll kick you to the play store, and when you log back in you don't get your reward. With a few minor adjustments this game could be really awesome, but until a few issues are fixed I won't be playing regularly.

CP requirements are not matched to leveling up at all. It will be weeks before I can progress any further, if I ever even remember to return. Can't even kill elite beasts anymore or pass the next level of the chapter I'm on. There are so many bugs but these are not always interfering with game play. Also, many times an ad just shows a black screen. Have to close the game and lose the double reward, resurrection, or bonus.

It's a huge risk to spend money on this game. No backup option, frequent and repetitive network issues that cancel out purchased rewards, no customer service. There are several examples of times of disorder and dysfunction across several parts of the app. Most recently, I purchased the arena activation package, which is already expensive. The app reset the arena season prior to its completion. I lost access to the rewards I was supposed to receive. No refund, no compensation.

So far a very decent game. The concept and systems are very friendly, however that's about where the praises end. The game lacks a choice of graphics which would be preferred for players with lower end devices. Ads since I've downloaded the game have crashed the game every time they are loaded without fail. If the graphics could be lowered the dev team would most certainly see better ad revenue, because as it stands you can't watch ads. Here's to hoping you read this. It is a nice game.

There are fun aspects, but the game requires watching a lot of ads ... not a problem for Free To Play, but the game often crashes when watching ads. Additionally, there are numerous times that the game requires a "goal" to be met; however, the "goal" is not possible to achieve. Examples: (1) Playing an event that isn't unlocked/avaialable; (2) Reaching a Hero level that can't be met without purchasing level-ups with real money. The base game is fun, but the infrastructure is broken.

Lots of ads with no option to pay to disable them and still get the rewards. The app is also plagued with constant network connection issues. I like the idea of the game, but there are definitely some questionable practices regarding the microtransactions, very predatorial. However, the gameplay itself is above average for these sort of idle games.
