First off, UI is horrible. The gameplay at first was pretty fun, I liked the concept of combining stones. BUT the storage space they give is very pathetic. It got really frustrating after a while when you have no storage space to combine the stones. Plus, you level up really easily so you get overleveled for the dungeons but when you level there is no buff to defence so what you're left with is having to go to higher level places while dying every 5 seconds.

Terrible English translations. Annoying as hell tutorials. Quest menu hidden in Achievement menu. Plagued by microstransactions that are pay-to-win. Tiny af buttons to click on. Barebones story thats so boring you'd ignore it for the gameplay. Lots of untranslated bits of text. Movement Stick is just a pain to use to dodge enemy attacks. Just a ton of poor design choices. Most of all, it's an idle game trying not to be one but is a huge horrible one.

I absolutely love this game. Been playing it since 5 years ago. Been coming back to it over and over because I cannot find a comparison for this game for android. 5/5 would give it 10/10 if I could. (Edit): Recently I am unable to load my old account, the game crashes whenever I log in my old account but works fine if I play with a new account. Please help, I do not want to lose years of progress!

After the latest update, everything just gotten so laggy. It would take a few moment for any effect to take place (eg: stones syncing, mail rewards...). Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the game & have been able to get used to growing my character & the whole gameplay. However with this lag issue I'm slowly losing interest in the game. Pls fix it thanks.

The time-killer aspect of grinding is satisfying and the power scaling is great. but most of the time, i'll randomly encounter delays and inconsistencies. be it upgrading, or fighting mobs, there will be an action delay. and when in a 'bullet hell'-like fighting that can ruin the whole experience (like it did earlier to me) Edit: after reaching lvl 68, the game completely broke, I cant even pair 2 similar items anymore. ive restarted and reinstalled, and its still broken. this is BS!

I'm uninstalling this now, but it's not bad. The simple combat concept of throwing things at enemies is very clever. The pixel art for the monsters and environment is really quality. The main downside is that the "plot" is poorly translated and very simple (I got to lv 65). If you joined as a group or found some friends for raid battles it would be more fun. Didn't reach a point where I couldn't progress as F2P but dropping out early.

the game is fun yes, I've played the game a year ago and it was running smooth really loved it but i decided to quit because i didn't have much time for it back then and a year later (now) i installed it again because I've missed it and to my surprise it lags alot! :D amazing.. i have no idea why it lags alot specially when there are many monsters or players are throwing stones. using warehouse has like a 5 sec delay , item exchange, pets and alot more....

Used to play the game back in early 2018, but having come back, it makes me wish for more. The current state of the game isn't bad necessarily, but it is pretty much the same as it was back then, but with the wrath raid. But what the game needs more than content is an active player base, and there isn't one anymore. I would love to see a Grow Stone 2, but that doesn't seem very likely to happen, so for what it's worth currently, it's a 3☆ game that has no real life ahead of it.

A great game, but I'd recommend a stat wipe, and revamp of textures and ui. It can be somewhat confusing to new players. And hire a proofreader for text based translations. This would bring back some of the older players, and make the atmosphere more inviting for new members. I've personally bought rubies on my account so. Getting a pet skin after stat wipe as a gift would be more conceivable to not upset supporters.

Really grindy. If you guys could make it easier to earn the rocks for combinations, that would be great. I spent countless hours playing, only to get the the Gold Star, before the newest update wouldn't let me play. Which is why you get **** instead of *****. I'd definitely recommend it to others who are thinking of playing though.

It was fun, but then I died and couldn't do anything. You can also see how broken the English is. You would think they'd at least take the time to bring in someone that can do proper English. Might recommend creating a help icon telling players what to do on their first death. Died and nothing happened. Couldn't move, menus didn't give a respawn option, and attempting to change to a different room simply said "Unable to move because you are dead.".

The writing and translation are poor. The difficulty curve goes from extremely easy to nearly unplayable. Intrusive cash shop ads. The game is no longer maintained by the developers, clan creation is left unusable and bugged. Hitboxes on enemies and projectiles are much larger than their sprites. After 31 hours, I wish I could recommend this game. It has charm and fun aspects, but I refuse to deal with the issues any longer or pay for better gear to continue. Dying game, uninstalled.

This game has lots of bugs and confusion while starting new, I have enjoyed this game but they sadly need to fix the bugs and make sure new players understand better. The storyline and characters are bit interesting. While upgrading your weapons, if the upgrade fails it takes your coins anyways. I noticed it and thought it would happen just a few times if it failed, but nah. My upgrades often fail so, I get a little upset just losing coins since its pretty much a grind to get coins and weapons.

Really good and fun game mechanics, either the game style and events. It has some small issue by trying to send a message a bit, but that's does not matter. I've been playing this game since they were announced in 2017. I wish i could look forward for more awesome items, sets, seasons, and other updates in the future. I miss this addicting game so much ;-;

I love this game! I truly appreciate the simple merge concept and it has a great artstyle. The gameplay is great and easy to control. There's a few rough parts, but it isn't too bad. For example the auto mode against enemies is very ineffective since your character walks right into the enemy you're attacking without distancing themselves at all, which will always end in your character dying. The overall gameplay is still great and I bet you will keep making improvements on these small details!

The graphics are charming, but the game is oversimplified field mechanics, while the menus are overcomplicated, I've already burned half an hour going through the tutorials on how to use the menus. That's not REALLY fair, the menus actually look fine, but I'd rather learn as I go and get right into the game. Its like throwing way too much at the player right at the beginning. I swear, nobody knows how to make an RPG anymore.

Very good game with major flaws. Everything is in between the highest level people, and as a beginner, there's no way you can reach them. Maps expect you to have at least 1m power like at 80 level, and it is impossible. People beg for potions for normal content as they are very difficult. The game is only slightly accessible with some real money. Luckily, there are good veterans who are willing to help newbies. Also, isn't this a low demanding title? It consumes way too much battery.
