I've got to play a previous version of this game and I need to say that in this new version I miss the level capping when it came to the EXP earned from fighting in dungeons. Usually it would get lower and lower the greater my level was. Now it stays the same and makes the game too easy for grinding based strategies. That's why I gave this game 4 stars only. Also good job with making it harder to find the pieces of grail. Ut used to be straight up boring. Now it's better.
After every battle there is an ad which crashes the game and you lose whatever you got in battle. Not true what the devs said on March 25th. This is March 30th, 2021 and the ads break/freeze the game! Just happened 3 times in a row. That's 3 times in 4 mins. So not fixed and ads not removed. Also just looked at their other games. WOW WHAT A SHAME. such a good game and series and all has avg. 3 star reviews. Wow did the dev really screw this up big time. What a waste and ruin of good games.
loved the game, paid for the ultatus edition, now my menus quit working, the item to eat and make light wont pop up, even in the main gladiator menu I cant etch runes, bought the game was great until I purchased the full version and it became unplayable. please fix or reimburse. If I start a new gladiator the menu works again, but I'm not interested in starting over now that I'm level 20, and grinding to get back where I was, and risk the items to stop working in yet another quest.
Its like the original game but with a decent dungeon crawler concept. But 1 thing bothers me. IF YOU PUT BLOODY ADS IN A GAME AND PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO WATCH THEM YOU SHOULD MAKE THE WHOLE GAME ACCESSIBLE FOR FREE PLAYERS. It infuriates me that you have to pay for a premium version just to play the whole game. Its either letting people pay for the game or make the game free and put ads in it. The game itself is decent, not the best but still decent. Dont get me wrong. The makers are just greedy
i love this game. the o ly problem is all of a sudden i cant go deeper into the hypergeum. ive done the quest and battles etc. when i go to the stairs to go deeper my avatar just dissapears. yet i can move around tge current floor im in and fight critters. please fix. i even bought the upgrade to play the full game. i want to see the whole storyline! lol
The game lags terribly and every now and then it stops responding. Worse part is it stops responding when I just leveled up. Can't assign stat points. Can't assign skill points. I love this game since a decade ago. Now I'm giving it a 1-star...the ultratus package is great until I find out at the end of the chapter, I get the rewards from the final boss but there is no point spending them cause all access to the dungeons and arena is gone after that. Please FIX this in the future S&S games. THX.
Nostalgic S&S user. The game defintely incentives ads. On many occassions the game will freeze as well, forcing you to close it out. After finally getting into the groove of the game and building my character up, I can no longer load it. Disappointing.
ok so.... I want to say I love the idea of the game but a few things, 1. there's a bug in the dungeon sometimes when u get in a fight u dont have the controls on the right side anymore for some reason so u can't rest or do anything if u out of stamina which means u need to restart game. also I'm stuck at second champion, can't beat him and can't get anymore xp from monsters to get strong to beat him, also can't afford maximus :-( and nothing even say what the maximus armor is? plz make solutions.
Constant game crashes and freezes forcing you to close out the game. Once I defeated the second coliseum boss I got a black screen and the game totally broke. Love the swords and sandals series, so if fixed ill happily change it to 5 stars.
Game is great except constantly freezes and locks up. It especially likes to lock up when you level up - but when you force close the app and restart it, the level up is complete without getting to assign your bonuses. Had to to uninstall it today.
The game could be much better, but I am at this awkward point where I am level 9. I can't beat the first dungeon boss, and I have nothing else to do. The only thing I can grind is Level 1 monsters which drop very little gold. The game is also very laggy on the phone.
Don't waste your time on Hard Mode, it's impossible, and there isn't any extra reward. Don't waste your time in general, cause once you beat the 2nd boss, you've beaten the game, apparently. 3 y/o game with IAP, and the game breaks after the 2nd boss.. shameful.
This game grows on you over time. Has some bugs and balancing issues, but also has great music and art style. Needs a bit more refinement but is overall worthy of one's attention.
lots of bugs, even on a galaxy S9+. after levelling up, the screen would go black and I would have to restart. same after winning an arena fight. the game would also randomly glitch during a fight.
Even with the technical problem I'm having with the game at the moment, definitely worth buying the full version, even woth the error ive encountered I still believe this game has massive potential and am interested in continuing it, if you could get back to me for support for my issue itd be appreciated :)
Whenever I go to load player and choose my character I'm stuck on a black screen and can't play. What a shame, it was going well. I'm level 16 and just defeated the second colloseum boss when it started happening.
Love the game but sometimes it freezes and I lose stat/skill points. I keep having to start over because of this. Fix that glitch and I'll be happy to give it 5 stars.
I love this game. Unfortunately I am frustrated because when I try to go downstairs in the dungeon my character visibly vanishes but stays on the same level and no matter what I do it won't let me descend further. Please help!
Was looking forward to it. Seemed like a great game at first. But it keeps glitching out. It going all black but my character and i can't see. Every time i have to minimize it.
It's a good game but it doesn't let me get past dungeon floor 1 and it's really annoying because it makes my character disappear as if he went in there but I can still fight and move around normally, anyways all I wish is for the bug to be fixed.
Great game nostalgia flashback! Only problem is the bosses in the arena past the demo seem to only take range straight to their hop not to the armour they have makes it a lil easy and dull Evevn in normal! EDIT: bosses are fixed last arena champion 5
When I first downloaded this game everything was fine, but now I find I can't go deeper into the hypogeum. I pressed to take the steps down, which it does, character disappears down the stairs but my screen does not follow. I have to go back up to town via the portal to get my character back. Very frustrating as some of the quests are based in the hypogeum and I can't do them.
