From all of the reviews ive read for the game its not that buggy and it doesnt seem to delete my save on crash.
The game is mediocre but its good for when its on sale since this game isnt worth to much since theres little to do in the game but its overall not bad. It feels like it was made to be on mobile.

look it is what it is i really enjoy the game there are a few things that are buggy but nothing really detrimental. I'm sure the bugs that are in the game after day one can be addressed quite easily. that being said i don't know much about the DEV after 16 hours of playing but i do not plan on stopping I'm enjoying it too much.

I really love the merge mechanic, wish it was used more often. Therefore, I love the idea of this game but it's not ready.
5 hours in, I've been merging not realizing trashing items in balance is required. So now I will have to trash (NOT MERGE or EQUIP) the next 5000 items I buy, trashing them 1 at a time. And then I will be able to farm 256 of the same item to gain 3 Atk. I also cant afford to do so, so I will have to sit here waiting for hours. With idlers, you are supposed to come back and have new progress waiting for you. I'd prefer this be an active incremental game.
So yeah, its not ready. I listed all my easily found bugs in the discussions. Hopefully this gets more attention, but for now I cant recommend it. Back to hunting a good merger.

The bones of a good game are here.
Maybe too many rough edges to enjoy it at full price. At 1.49 it seems ok, but won't last more than a few hours of playing with it.
Perhaps some more ideas could be incorporated to flesh out the game?
Like a temporary table that would die if you die and you lose the item, or would last X rounds?
A hold option to keep maybe one item (like contemporary Tetris to keep something without totally screwing up your other things)
Unlock additional inventory slots and more gear?
Pets who could wear rings or necklaces as collars?
Like a clickable Random boost a level of an item by 2x 3x 4x, etc?
Extended party? Healer tank dps triangle
There's some good stuff here and it works, just not much.

was playing the game, almost have 2 hours in to it, and then the power went out. now I can't play the game, even after updating it. I can''t delete, or play my saves and I'm soft locked from all 3 save states somehow. This is a game breaking bug and is now unplayable
Waste of 7 bucks

Game corrupts save-file upon crashing while holding an item. Making you lose all the gear you have accumulated so far! Forcing you to restart!

There's not much even I can say about this game and that's a red flag on its own.
It's closer to an idle game than the engaging experience it's advertised as.
Imagine Loop Hero just without the map, story, different enemies (all I've fought so far have been green and purple slimes and they don't mix within levels) and an actual feeling of progression.
You do get coins you can use to get items with, but beyond 10 for a random item that may be useful or not, all the good items cost 70 coins - you'll be 1 or 2 per kill in the first 2 levels and chances are you'll be killed on repeat enough to be bored by the time you get beyond level 2.
You can sell items for upgrade materials, but you'll get one per item according to random attributes assigned to an item and you can't impact this in any way, plus you won't get your (ingame) funds back at all.
Your hero will always look the same regardless of actual gear and the background has some kind of blue lines that are supposed to create an illusion of fast movement with the background - while said lines are less noticeable on a white background, they're not making me feel a bit queasy any less (usually I don't have such issues with games).
The music is repetitive, generic and insufferable after a short while.
In short: wait for a deep sale for 1€ or less, if you like idle games, if not stay away. Absolutely NOT worth the asking price for what you get, plus it's advertised as something it's not.

I will just review the 'About this game" things
[b] Idle Fights [/b]
[i] 'Just manage your stats and equipment. Pause the game at any moment to take care of your inventory.' [/i]
they are idle alright BUT 'Pause the game at any moment to take care of your inventory' there is 0 reason to do that, u just leave it idling to get gold
[b] Monster Slayer [/b]
[i] 'Hundred various monsters and deadly bosses. How far can you proceed?' [/i]
There are 8 Levels with each level having 12 'zones' with each zone having 1 monster (bosses being a oversized version of the normal ones)
I am 6 zones in, so proceed with caution.
[b] Items And Inventory [/b]
[i] 'Two hundred unique items which you can equip and merge to get more powerful ones.' [/i]
First, how u merge-> lvl 1 dagger + lvl 1 dagger = lvl 2 dagger | lvl 2 + lvl 2 = lvl 3 etc. I like this mechanic, on other games too.
Now for the 200 unique items.
I am still level 1 and so far i have gotten the same 8 items.(3 different weapons, ring a, ring b, seal, armor and necklace)
If the equipment changes when u level up, that would be 8x8(64) unique items. (unless u can get multiple versions besides the weapon, in which case sorry for being angry)
If it doesnt change then i guess the dev considers the level up equipment as 'unique'
[b] Forge your hero [/b]
[i] 'Combine items as you like to create your own character builds. Fast and deadly attacks with huge defense rate? Everything is possible.' [/i]
I would like to combine my dagger with my axe but i cant, so u cant combine items as you like.
You can only combine the same items.
Also i dont know about builds since i only got 1 'set' so proceed with caution.
[b] More ways to become stronger [/b]
[i] 'Sell unused items to get permanent upgrades for your ten various stats' [/i]
I like this mechanic too BUT this is 1 way, not multiple.
[b] Looks Nice, Sounds Nice[/b]
[i] 'Fancy pixel graphics and retro music to make your journey even more comfortable. You can even switch between the light and dark theme.' [/i]
Nice pixel art and music, true BUT..... YOU CAN EVEN SWITCH BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARK MODE.
[b] Be the best[/b]
[i] 'Global ranking system to track your scores among other players around the world. And achievements!
' [/i]
Nothing to complain about here... just that there is always some1 better.
It also says 'truly challenging gameplay' and 'Immerse yourself into an RPG game with real possibilities.'
oh boi, i think i will stop here, i dont want to be too much toxic.
TLDR: 5€ on discount for a 'dragging items simulator' is way too much, make it 1€ max.
