What players say

It's a neat little auto-battler that has enough complexity and content to keep you coming back and at least completing all the difficulty levels. Personally a big fan of the PvE and PvP modes being separate. Very neat little game.

very fun at first, this game had so much potential but after a very short while you've seen everything there is to see the balancing is kinda bad, a lot of choices are a waste and there wont be any updates to the game either you can get it on sale, maybe
