Dark Survival

This game is actually really cool! There are adds but they don't interrupt your gameplay. They're just there if you want a bonus or something. Having said that there are a few things I take issues with. The translation is really bad and it makes it hard to understand what certain objects do, or what my daily tasks are supposed to be. The second problem I have is when I first download the game I didn't what to do. Some sort of beginning tutorial would be nice. Other than that, I love this game.

Fun hoarde survival game. Plenty to keep you busy. A bit too grindy but the energy system is well-implimented and rewards are worth it to keep you playing. Honestly, I only have 2 complaints. 1. The grind. As I said, the rewards are worth it, but it is a lot of grinding. 2. I did find a bug while combining equipment that was equipped to the character whose equipment screen i was on, and now I can't equip ANYTHING to the character. If these are fixed, i will give 5 stars.

The gameplay itself is decent, but there are some issues that outweigh the good parts of the game. Progression is super slow, so you end up having to grind the same levels over and over for very little progress. I'm not talking late game here. You hit a progress wall around level 3. Even if you find cool items, you can't equip more than one until level 6... The other major issue is the random events. For example, my last game had a random event where all monster HP was doubled. Game over. Wth?

I like how it can be easy and then get hard if you want it to. There are different modes and levels to play and some rankings. Their are good amount of characters to unlock. Their are spells and many of them and can be upgraded to battle more and more monsters. Only complaint is that some of the characters special skill is pretty underwhelming and boring. Their needs more items and spells that would be more fun. Big change to spells at lvls 5 and 10 would be more fun if spells evolved

Awesome game so far. The art/graphics great as well as the music ( the song for map the embers of hope is especially great... for some reason it made me want to go back and re-watch attack on titan). Most importantly of all the Difficulty scaling is very very well done. This game is can be difficult however it difficult in the right way. What I mean by that is the the Difficulty so far always matches your progression and is never insurmountable. It never feels like being forced to grind. A+

It's basically Magic Survival but more gimmicky, loot-box-y. I do like it. My only big issues, is that you can't continue play, like in Magic Survival. There's no checkpoints, so if I lock my phone for too long, and come back to a good run, I can't. Plus since there's an energy system, like you can only do arena 3 times a day, it doesn't even refund energy. So even though I played 30 minutes of arena, restarting 3 times, it's like I did nothing. No points or shards were saved.

I do enjoy the game, and I love the characters art style, but to be honest the fact that most of the items in the game (mostly characters) seem to only be available through watching quite allot of ads for currency, and multiple days of doing it I might add, or through paying money. I 100% understand monetization, but at least make some of the items reachable through a light grind, not the extreme that was implemented here. I do genuinely appreciate the art however, and I appreciate your time ^^

Going in, I figured this would be another barebones swarm shooter, but I am pleased to be incorrect! Multiple characters to choose from, each with their own play style and skill sets, along with gear that varies with each drop. Several stages with varying difficulties and objectives, this is one of, if not the best, swarm shooter I've found so far! 6/5 if I could!

Like the game but could still be some improvements. Game has a time limit that keeps the game from dragging on and doing what it shouldn't do: become a huge timesink. Mobile games should be something you can do for 5 minutes and then put it away. This does that. Levels have a 12 min time limit. Only downside I see is when you level up, the game resumes RIGHT after. So if you are low on hp and lvl up next to an enemy? RIP. Your run is over. Please fix this. Since that's my only complaint, 5 star

Excellent game in the vain of Vampire Survivors. Oddly, my only gripe is about the ads. While all ads are optional,the ads never work. I cannot reset my characters abilities or get 2x rewards, ever. I've checked my internet speeds as it happens, and it's definitely not my network. This needs to be fixed for a full five stars or another option to reset the characters needs to be implemented, otherwise this is the best mobile take on Vampire Survivors I've stumbled upon on mobile.

This game is easy to learn and fun to play repeatedly. It would be helpful if there was a way to view in-game stats when in a dungeon. Sometimes i would like to see what additional buffs and augments i have on the skills when i choose some from leveling up. The english isnt great but i can still understand what the developer means. There are a few times the poor wording would be confusing until the item or skill is tested out. Most of the skills are creative but a few are lacking in purpose.

Pretty good game, it's addictive and I love all of the skills you can get. The only issue I have is that the game can get very laggy, which is understandable whenever there's a bunch of enemies on screen and a lot is happening. I just wish there was more options to change the graphics, perhaps a wa to dum down the resolution? I'd prefer a smoother experience.

A few bugs that can ruin the fun. Ads are mostly for optional items like resources, lives, items, revives except for a few missions that are required for leveling. The randomized items and skill combinations are great, there's always more to experiment with. Addicting for a week or two but the grinding and ad requirements bog it down too much the further you go. Regretfully uninstalling.

Note: some ads install games without consent!!! The reviews seem accurate but unfairly harsh. The game plays like any survival game and the choices for playable characters and skills are nice. The play style is similar to most survival games. There are a lot of skills which makes it hard to get the ones you need for builds but overall it seems balanced. I didn't know if the in game currency will hold up value as you get deeper into the game and there are too many types of in game currency.

There are pitifully few stages. The English translation leaves much to be desired, I'm sure in the original language everything makes more sense contextually. Not being able to generate items above a certain grade is restrictive (since there are more bonus properties generated at base with higher grade items) and upgrading/improving winds up with more marginal items. I'm not a fan of the price-points for most in app purchases. Controls are fine, character variations are good.

Unreal how bad the "random" selection is for skills as you level. Was just playing one of the survival modes, got up to level 70 with Imp, so for every level I had a 65%chance at getting an extra free skill. Had multiple skills to lvl 15-20, and only got 2 points in the skill I was trying to level the entire time, making it impossible to get the combined skill I was looking for after 20+ minutes.

Really enjoy the game itself, however as the game gets harder the rewards and progression xp payout doesnt feel rewarding at all; it makes me feel unmotivated to continue sometimes. Especially with the farming missions. It becomes such a pain to liberate a character past lvl 5, also a suggestion for farming missions only - maybe add some barrels with a small chance to add an extra 15 or 20 seconds to the clock so we can maybe collect more lib materials. 🙏
