After playing for a day. I can say with confidence that the gameplay loop is fun and the progression is satisfying. Upgrading and managing your skills, armor, and potions is very simple but fun. Play it in bursts and you will have a very good time with this game

This is one of the best idle games on the app store, I could just be doing homework while this runs in the background and earns me things. I love this game and there isn't much to think about because it is pretty straightforward.

It's a bit too simple. Also, not an idle game as it requires your input to advance and also no offline earnings. No interesting upgrades. Very bare bones game.

Pretty fun game. A little confusing, a tutorial you can play would be better than one you have to read just because I forgot everything I read pretty much immediately. Another fun addition might be a pet you can get that opens chests or attacks enemies. Over all a good little game.

I'd like to give a better review but can't yet. I played about 40 minutes and just walked and upgraded my equipment. It needs some sort of milestones and feeling of progression and achievement. At the moment it wasn't clear to me what I was striving for. Mind you I'm the sort of player who has spent days upon days of gameplay on MinuteQuest. So it's not like this isn't my kind of game. I might return at a later point to check for updates. Hopefully you don't stop the development.

Simple and fun, not a lot of variety, but a decent game. Note, has some graphical glitches with the fairy and ground tiles that should be addressed.

This game is nice and simple. It's a little barebones but it has no in game purchases and the core gameplay is enjoyable. You embark on a run, tapping the screen to attack, and when you can't do enough damage and get killed, you go back to the shop to purchase upgrades. It's a really nice little game and I can't recommend it more for idle game fans.

The gameplay is VERY stagnant and never really evolves - from what I've played so far - beyond just occasionally spamming your skill to take down strong enemies and otherwise ramming into the rest to kill. Seems very unpolished in terms of gameplay design, so I can't say I'll be playing much more. It's also not an idle game at all. You have to manually upgrade, use skills, restart, etc. There is no automation whatsoever. So I also have a bit of a gripe with the dishonest labelling.

I really enjoy the calm and relaxing style of the game. At first it's a little hard or confusing maybe you could say but after you realize you can increase the strength of your weapons and armor and it doesn't cost real money to get what is needed to do that and that every time you die you don't start over it's a lot more enjoyable. Thanks for the game!

It's a cute game, so far. Found it through play pass. Could use a little more interaction. And one of the instructions confused me a little. Said to hit enemies in the air with the left stick? I'm on a phone not use a controller so not sure what it means. But it'll be a good time killer for waiting rooms.

I found this game on play pass and tried it since I like idle games. I didn't like it at first because I tried the endless mode, expecting it to be endless. Unfortunately, that's not the case. The character dies and you start over. Uninstalled it but then decided to try to story mode before I post any reviews. Story mode is better, as the gold income is proportional to the upgrades. It is still the type of game where you play a level for so long and then begin again. Needs improvement though....

This is not an idle game. You must be constantly hitting buttons, using potions and spells, and tapping on fairies and treasure chests. If you don't, you make so little progress each run that you may as well not even try. Even worse, each run must be manually started. The constant tapping isn't fun. It's just busy work.

Fun easy simple sidescoller with engaging difficulty scaling This game is easy to pick up but hard to leave! I only left to write this cause the devs asked nicely, haha. It's simple - go as far as you can, then use gold to upgrade your armor and try again. Don't let the simple game model throw you. There's a lot of freedom to customize your gameplay. I also think the art is really worth noting. The backgrounds and enemy designs are great, and its exciting when you find a new one.

This mobile game is fun, addictive, and challenging at the same time. But most importantly, it is satisfying to watch the your warrior (or sage) blasting through all those pesky bats and other creepy creatures you encounter. Further more, watching the little numbers that pop up on your screen when you or your enemy(s) deal/take damage. The only problem that I have is that it's sometimes hard to click on angels and chests when you're on 3 speed as there's only a short 2/1.5 second time frame.

I reached the credits, but kinda regret it. The game felt like a waste of time. It requires too much attention to call itself "idle", and too little to be fun or interesting at all. The gameplay is very shallow and mindless. The upgrades seem cosmetically random and never particularly interesting. I played this with Play Pass, and it doesn't hurt to try in that case if you think you may like it, but I wouldn't recommend buying it, personally.

One of the best time killers on the app store. While there isn't much thinking to be done while playing(which would usually be a deal breaker for me), it still manages to be highly addictive. In endless mode there are countless upgrades (to abilities and equipment) to be had, which keeps it enjoyable longer than one would expect. Definitely recommend this game.

Um. I don't know what to say but it is kind of addictive. You do have to think a little bit with using magic and potions. The part where you lose and upgrade to get stronger is fun because you see your progress after continuing again. However, there're checkpoints so you don't see the progress you'd like to see. It's for the most part just a relaxing game to enjoy on your phone.
