3.5 out of 5. First off, I should say it’s great fun to play. Quick, simple gameplay with some hidden strategic depth in the form of when to play power crystals and balancing the highest scoring word against a lower scoring one that gives greater reward for hitting a perfect strike. RPG elements are light, more a case of powering up your character in terms of hit points and attack strength; but also different weapons give different power up effects. No story as such but not really necessary either. Just good, all round fun that fits the mobile platform perfectly. Now the bad - the word dictionary is poor to say the least. As others have mentioned, I’ve had several, perfectly valid English words that just aren’t recognised in this game - and that is incredibly frustrating in a word game and it just cheapens the experience. The Devs would do well to replace the dictionary with the universally accepted SOWPODS dictionary used in Scrabble - would easily elevate the game to 5 stars in my opinion. So as my post title says - Good but not great; but it could be with a simple change.

Great

Lots of fun definitely a boredom killer 😁

Just got our rewards for finishing 3rd in the battles it said we would get 2000 we got 200 come on fix this promblem please because it would be a 5 star game ty

Kinda an English nerd, and a gamer. So I game where I get to kill things with words? Love it.

Really enjoying this game, love the word play, just wish there was a shuffle option.

Decent, fun game with good progression. Unfortunately, the interruptions from advertising become ridiculous. They even have a, “watch an advert to totally cheat your way through this stage!” I’d rather have just paid for the game.

…I have a list of two dozen perfectly valid English words, words which can be found in any dictionary, which the game hasn’t allowed me to play - and I’ve only played the graveyard! If I continue playing, I fully expect that list to grow! The graveyard has six rounds, so that’s four a round - utterly ridiculous! Note to the developer: if you’re going to make a word game, DON’T rely on your own vocabulary, use a decent dictionary; I like word games, but I don’t like word games where I consistently lose due to the developer deciding they don’t need to bother compiling the lexicon with a dictionary! 😠😡🤬🤯 One star because I have to, and another for the concept - until you compile a proper lexicon, it doesn’t deserve any more.

This idea is genius. Most word games get boring after five minutes, but this isn’t just a word game... its an RPG as well! Not just matching words but fighting monsters and collecting gold to buy gear. I really would recommend this.
