  • “Bait and Switch — When I downloaded this game, I thought it was going to be like one of the 2000’s Cool Math Games. After the tutorial it switches from a simple stick figure game to a completely different medieval fantasy art style.”
  • “It was fun while it lasted — This awesome games become “pay-to-win” like all the others. It no longer stands out. If youv only 100$, you too can become stronger then me, who’ve been playing for almost 2 years now.”
  • “Changes from stick figures to different art style??? — I was not expecting the aesthetic to change part way through playing the game. Totally threw me off. Why would that happen???”
• Pay to Win

  Game is designed to encourage or require spending money to progress or compete

  • “Pay to win, unbalanced gacha game — It’s not an advertised. It’s Just Another Gacha Game that quite literally abandons the entire stick-figure asthetic after less than 30 minutes and turns into a soulless gacha game.”
  • “Horrible Game — This game is horribly rigged. When grinding for higher leagues you will be matched with bots that have unbeatable teams no matter how good you think yours is.”
  • “Money!!! — You got it? You’ll LOVE THIS GAME!!! No gots money? Move along”
• Crashing and Technical Issues

  Game crashes frequently, causing frustration and loss of progress

  • “Crash — Game crashes all the time you lose a lot of your points in progress. Game crashes, especially in maze you lose points and gems.”
  • “Constant game freezing — This game is fun when it works, but it’s a mess because they keep adding game additions without fixing basic game play.”
  • “Keeps crashing — App keeps closing when playing dark tower, causing me to lose the key”
• False Advertising

  Game's advertising does not accurately represent the game's content or style

  • “Not what’s in the adds — Total lie I downloaded hoping the game from the adds was the game I was downloading. It’s a complete pay to win mess with tons of pop ups and incentives to “invite friends “ to download the game and spend money.”
  • “Fake ads — Just another game where the ads are completely different than the actual gameplay.”
  • “Worst game — Nothing like the ads they show online…All comments are fake or paid or patched”
• Unbalanced Gameplay

  Game's matchmaking or difficulty curve is unbalanced, leading to frustrating experiences

  • “Match making is so terrible — This game is not fun and it 100% is a pay to play”
  • “Unbalanced game play — Unfortunately after playing this game for years I have decided to uninstall it. The warlords are completely unbalanced as the devs have made it close to impossible to play the game if you don’t spend money to purchase them.”
  • “Stupid ranking — for the player vs player matches i get played against people with 3x the power and cards i have one person had a warlord who you can only get through league 22 im not near there”
• Poor Customer Support

  Players have difficulty getting help or responses from the game's support team

  12

  reviews
  • “Support not respond — Hero Shordow is too cheating if gonna reborn and damage like that should low down the attack or only can reborn 1 time or reborn without damage.”
  • “Customer support unresponsive, lost years of progress — Players beware, if you have any sort of issue with billing or get locked out, Panoramik's customer support will ignore you.”
  • “Ok game, poor integrity in customer service — I enjoy the game and it’s progress, however progression takes purchases. I don’t mind making small ones, however I recently accidentally made a purchase that was for $199.99, thinking it said $1.99….”
• Monetization and Aggressive Sales Tactics

  Game's monetization model is aggressive or misleading, with frequent prompts to spend money

  15

  reviews
  • “A monetization nightmare — The game mechanics are fun but holy farts does this game try to compel you into being a whale. Nearly every part of the game is heavily time gated to frustrate you into paying $5-$50 to move faster.”
  • “Too many in app ads — Fun game but every other screen in an ad for 20 or 50 bucks.”
  • “Money pit — This may be one of the worst games I have played in a very long time. Any action in the game results with a screen popping up suggesting you buy something.”
