What the analysis found

Each finding shows what agreed and how strongly. Automated analysis

The catch list 1

Charges we publish at a strength we stand behind: measured from an artefact, agreed by independent sources, or reported by enough users to clear that charge's own published bar.

Reported by users: Pay to progress
Reported by 79 usersReported by users, not measured — nothing we can inspect could show this either wayview evidence
Advancement or competition is gated behind spending money rather than playing.
What we saw: Raised by 79 distinct reviewers — 8.7% of the 909 reviews scanned on this store leg (Google Play).

Positive evidence 1

Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.

Developer says data deletion can be requested
Measuredfrom the store listingview evidence
The developer's data-safety disclosure on the store states that users can request deletion of their data, or the app's own text offers a way to delete the account. This restates what the developer declares; it is not a test of whether deletion works. Apple publishes no equivalent disclosure, so on an Apple-only listing only the app's own text can support it.
What we saw: The developer's store data-safety disclosure states that data deletion can be requested; we have not seen a deletion control in the app's own text

One source only — shown, not confirmed 2

A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.

Reported by users: Paywall blocks the basics
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
What we saw: Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 6 distinct reviewers (0.7% of 909 reviews scanned)

Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.

Pay to progress

clearly p2w game. can't pass stage 3 because the boss HP is too high, also he got vampire skill that recover 1400 HP per attack. Even though I got necklace to remove that buff, but the cooldown is too long. so the boss recover is faster…

Just p2w lol

disgrace to the rogue like genre. horrendously pay to win. the biggest backpack upgrade is not earnable through gameplay and is a $5 perchase. you can watch ads to get more money mod run. there are a million better rogue likes with this…

Paywall blocks the basics

I love the game and it's quite fun to try out different combination to tackle new stages. However, lots of imporvements such as backpack slotsfor each class, 2x speed, and little QoLs are locked behind paywall, now worth it if you're in…

everything locks behind a paywall, even you need to pay to increase the storage, just play to other merge item games

2★ · Google Play · 2026-09-07

The game is extremely pay-to-win, with the best inventories for each class locked behind a cash pay-wall, requiring straight up money and not in-game currency.

Aggressive ad load

too many ads and very repetitive. this could have been something great but there is a lazyness and greedyness that just oils over the whole game.

1★ · Google Play · 2026-09-12

Exactly how advertised (though way smoother than the playable ad), and actually really fun. Love the artstyle and the small details like liquid tipping over when you rotate potions. It's fun merging items and trying building different…

i like your game. especially with event collab with mahnwa. but what the hell with those hard difficulties for bjorn on the first level stage. trap with 4 seconds stun? plus with a high attack speed weapon goblin that makes the trap…

How the automated analysis works

Automated, corroborated, and never human-reviewed without a person.

This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.

No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.

There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.

Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.

 Not yet human-reviewed

Several measurements above say “Not assessed” because no artefact we hold can answer them. A human review is what resolves those — and it can remove a favourable band as easily as add one.

Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
