Trying to be backpack battle... But not as good! Also, the devs did not include a bug report system so I am now forced to do this review. The balance of the game is buggy and a lot of results do not make sense. I have been trying to play Nymphadora and did not manage to go beyond 8-9 wins every time. There is no build that works and for some reason, the weapon keep on missing almost half of the time, despite being indicated at 100% accuracy!?! How can a 100% accuracy miss? Please explain...

It's a good game, original concept...but without the multiplayer aspect, what are we even playing for?...it just becomes sad and redundant...cos no matter how good or bad ur strategy is, the algorithm always adjusts to that and the outcome is always averaged...there is no human aspect, where you can come up with certain strategies and pitch them up against real players to find out how they fare...all in all, a good concept but doesn't achieve anything sadly...😒

Finally, a fun game! The gameplay feels smoothe, there are a lot of mechanics to explore and master. There is a clear way to advance free to play, no forced ads, but the option to watch ads to get ahead slightly. The game has a lot of possible strategies that can become truly strong. The fact that there is an element of luck makes that interesting as you never know what build you will have to settle for. I would love other modes added with infinite rounds against predetermined levels or such. :)

Game is sometimes really fun, but I swear it will decide to randomly screw you over and for multiple playthroughs just not give you any weapons. Pool of weapons and builds need to be refined a bit, shouldn't go through 5 playthroughs with 5 lives each run plus an extra life with the ad, to go out with one or two trophies out of 15 just because you weren't able to buy any weapons.

Fun little backpack hero ripoff for sure. Would be 5 stars but there is no option to pay for zero ads. Would pay up to 15 for the option. In addition, as others have noted, unlocking more items hinders building items you want as the pool expands and you have no control over the pool except rerolls. Banishes or favorites or just focused pools would be a major improvement. Until then, only level one character or be boned later on. Leveling a level one hero is Ruby Pantry is awful.

Addictive and great game! Simple and yet it needs a strategic placements... But there's still room for improvement : 1. Batery draining problem (batery usage likely equal to a MOBA type of games), 2. Switching for greater bagpack is a hassle, we need to remove items in the bag(s) first 3. When we still have little filled slots, adds a turn button (clockwise and counter clockwise). For easier moving all of the items and bags Thank you for the great game!

Pros : no forced ads, daily quest for those who loves grinding, simple yet complex (many combos and item placement). Cons : NO TUTORIAL. After more areas unlocked, it becomes difficult to get items you need, heavily dependent on luck. Maybe a gradually bigger store?? Unique items will make or break your game. Some chars only have one or two combos to get 15 wins, so if you miss that one item, it's a guaranteed defeat. Last one, this game eats a lot of battery!!

My main problem that I haven't seen mentioned, this eats away at my battery, I have a pretty decent phone, there's no reason for my phone to drain with THIS game. I can't play anymore if I value my long term battery life at all. As most say, it's fun and addictive, especially at first. However the difficulty jumps, rng becoming a problem with more items being available and the game mechanics heavily favouring specific combos make the experience a bit grating. also I want my phone to survive

Very addicting game. Monetization is pretty predatory however. You can unlock everything in game with currency earned over time but it will take a while. Ads are everywhere but they're optional. They incentivize watching ads by giving you a single life, premium and normal currency and refreshing quests. Be ready to watch a lot of ads if you want to advance. Other than that it's a pretty weird game to have progression in since those who pay or have played longer will dominate newbies most times.

Quite impressed by the game that it is playable offline. Even more suprised that it does not contain a battlepass feature, which each mobile game nowadays has. No need to watch adds. Free to play is fair. I spend some money to get all heroes (4.50€ per hero iirc) All heroes are fun and have different play styles. 2 base heroes need to be leveled to level 10 to get all their gear. But i have to say, the game is so well balanced, if you know the synergies, you get easy wins.

I've only played a day, and I'm already seeing issues. The game seems to be truly random, so you can start your first fight without the ability to buy weapons, and 30% probability actions can go 10 rounds with no procs. The game also gets immensely hard as you near filling all stars for a run, as only the builds that have gotten lucky with drops are left. At least make the drops favor the hero you've selected, I'm tired of getting 80% mana items on an energy hero.
