This game is actually really fun! The controls are relatively smooth and responsive, and overall gameplay has been enjoyable. I just started playing, so I may be back with an updated review.

Really fun game and the progression of difficulty is well done, it gets quite hard but the curve of increasing difficulty is smooth

I just finished this game without using any active abilities only passive upgrades, and it was one of the most satisfying challenges I’ve played on mobile. The combat may look simple at first, but it really rewards skill, timing, and positioning, especially when dealing with multiple ranged enemies. Blocking arrows and fireballs with just your sword feels incredibly rewarding. If you’re looking for a game that’s simple, addictive, and actually tests your skills then this is The One ya lookin for.

Scam. I bought the ultimate power and absolutely nothing changed. I still have to grind everything. I wish I could refund this. Don't waste time. SCAM!

If I attack without touching the movement control, the fighter starts moving down by himself without stop until falling. And sometimes, right from the start the level, too. It's unplayable!

I swear they used to not lock content to purchases. This app went downhill so much since it first came out. Let me earn content by playing ffs. Also, I don't care about the stupid might and last stand icons. All they effing do is get in the way of the non-fixed joystick on mobile
