Crush Them All - Idle RPG Reviews

by Aubadger1

This game was amazing and had great promise but was sold to imperia online who literally cares nothing about their player base. Everything they do is a cash grab and every mistake they make comes with a middle finger to the player base.

Recently they expanded hero medals from 7 to 8 star making everyone start over again so they could monetize the gain. During the process they send out 500 medals for having a maxed hero (as compensation for all the wasted medals you got when the hero was maxed), only they sent it out before the update an 90% of players got useless junk instead.

Then they put up a Flooz sale for a good rate, left it up for an hour where only some players had access to the sale; brought down the sale and put it back up at more than twice the price. Basically they have a big unfair advantage to a small population of players with no word, no compensation and just a middle finger. Do not play this game, it’s a waste of your time and all they care about is sucking the players dry until they quit. It’s not worth your time and please don’t reward these developers who literally haven’t produced anything new other than “sales” in the almost year they have had the game.

I’m a two year vet of this game. It used to be the best game, but was recently sold to a new company. The new companies intentions are clear, they care only about money and never listen to the player base unless it will pass their wallets. CTA used to have a stable economy with a healthy progression ladder for competitive play, now it’s solely based around who has the biggest bank account and is willing to throw money away weekly to keep up with the constant changing leeching the player base. Most recently, 18 Nov 2021, management released that they would increase the current level cap to an 8th star. For those new to the game or considering, take this into account. I’ve spent over $5k in two years and just maxed out every element pool to 7 stars. That isn’t to say I’ve maxed characters though as now I still have to awaken all the toons to 7 pink stars. To compare, I currently only have five toons completely capped. This new change means that unless you are willing to give unfettered access to your bank accounts to the new management, you will never truly enjoy this game or be able to play competitively. If all you are looking for though is a click click click game with no intent of spending money it might still be fun, but I highly doubt it. Wish I could rate it zero stars at this point, such a waste for a game with so much potential.

A couple of years ago I got this game and it was super addictive. I had so many great characters and great artifacts but then everything changed, one update came out and I couldn’t even play this game anymore. It said my phone wasn’t compatible with the game anymore and just deleted it out of anger after giving the game a week or two to finally fix which of course it didn’t. After all this time I saw a ad about this game and decided to get it back to see if it finally was working again. It did work and I had my account and everything still (Ik my account was back because it gave me my offline income when I got on the game) but there was a major change to it. Literally every single one of my good heroes and artifacts are just completely gone. I had over 30 of the highest star rankings you could obtain and the highest star rankings for the artifacts. I was able to equip around 9-10 artifacts and over 7 heroes but now it’s limiting me to spend even more gems for space to equip my stuff when I’ve already done all of it a few years back. I’m honestly just so disappointed because of this. I was excited to finally get to play this game once again but now it’s just all a waste of time, I’ve wasted over 200+ hours in that game just for it to be gone. What a waste of time.

It’s a fun game, and impressively mmo like for being idle - there are resources, dungeons, various guild bosses and different combat options, pvp, then the idle aspect of gold collection.
There are a lot of ads. I have played other idle games, and the game boost ad is usually 2-4 hours. Here it is 20 minutes base. That said, all the ads are optional even though they’re helpful enough you probably want to do them. There is no direct way to purchase no ads; (in that you get the same boosts without watching the ad, called skip ads in this game) instead you have to get to the maximum tier of their VIP system, for which it doesn’t show the price for at the beginning, but given my experience with that sort of thing I imagine it’s far too expensive for a normal person to buy one-off. Although you get lots of other useful things, it would be nice to have a way to purchase just no ads immediately.
My other annoyance is the gold collection. It is set up so each new thing makes substantially more than the old one. However, it takes a few manual collections of the new one to reach auto collection level. The result is, by the time you reach auto collect, that particular revenue source is pretty worthless. Considering this is an idle game, it would be nice if we could actually make some significant amount of progress idle in that area. Currently, without using items, you can only really progress offline through the stages.

This is my 100% honest review: this game is another idle tap game, but it is unlike any other game I’ve played. And it quickly became one of my favorites! The hero upgrade system was a bit strange when I started playing: you have to collect a certain number of hero medals to increase star ratings. There are always events starting and overlapping, and they keep things interesting. Now this is the sort of game that takes a lot of grinding to progress, and sometimes progression can be a little slow, but you always have something to work toward. If you want to progress faster, you can always purchase premium currency, but since the developers are very generous with giving out premium currency, I never feel the need to pay to play. The developers are actually very active with the game, and if you join the game’s discord, you become connected with them and a community of active players. They have answered every question I’ve had and more, and they keep me wanting to be a part of this game!

I’ll get straight to the point. This game is hands down the best afk game I have ever played on mobile.
1. It’s easy to understand and play (and it’s getting constant updates on its UI)
2. It doesn’t take a lot of time to do everything you need to do for dailies.
This is a big pro for afk games. Afk games should not punish you for not constantly playing(it would be a little contradictory at that point) but unfortunately that’s what most afk games do
3. It feels rewarding for spending time playing the game.
On the opposite note if you want to put more time in to get ahead of the ball faster then you can. And it really feels super rewarding for doing so!
4. It has a daily login reward.
This is big for me cus I always like games that reward you for simply logging in for a couple seconds every day, whereas most games nowadays require payment for such a feature.
5. ITS FLIPPING FREE MAN!!
(Downside to free to play games though: pay to win. But this is how almost all phone games are)
6. Non-intrusive ads.
Unlike most free to play games, this game does not have intrusive ads that clog up gameplay. Rather they are choices that the player can optionally click on to watch. The reason you would want to opt in to these ads is that they give you fairly good in game rewards such as currency and sped up progression. Also builds up to increase your vip rank which gives further rewards.

TLDR:
Pros- easy, rewarding, fun, FREE
Cons- pay to win (progress faster)

Crush them all is a game that I have been playing for not very long. Even though I have not played for very long I can tell much about it. Crush them all is a fun game with many concepts such as leveling up heroes, ascending, arena battles, blitz, crusade etc. The game also has guilds. Guilds can help you progress further into the game. You can also meet new friends in guilds. Guilds have boss slayer events where you can unlock event artifacts to help along in staging. At first you would think staging is the main concept of CTA but it is not. You can unlock new heroes. The rarities are common, rare, epic, and legendary. The most common rarity used for arena battles are common and rare. I don’t know this exactly that’s just from my experience. I use to play CTA a while back. I recently found CTA from an add I saw from playing a different game. I remembered Crush Them All and instantly downloaded it from CrushThemAll Store. Since then I have been playing it daily.

My experience has been phenomenal. I started out slowly playing but quickly ended up diverting all my attention to the game. I have enjoyed it so much, just playing and grinding to level up characters I think are cool. At some point I lost my job, I’m not even sure when it happened...it’s okay though because I managed to get Kasai (my favorite character) to star level four! I’ve found more fulfillment out of helping my guild than customers anyways. It’s amazing how you can receive private messages which I recently found out about because my girlfriend of several years sent me a message to inform me we had broken up and had been gone for several months! I didn’t even realize she left because of my new dedication for the game. She said it was the only way she knew I’d see her woes, but as I opened that message I reached a new max stage and was so overwhelmed with excitement that I pretty much forgot about the message entirely until now. I wish I could give this game 6 stars out of 5. I’m about to be homeless but I’ll still be able to use Taco Bell’s WiFi and play on my phone so everything should work out, I’ve spent wayyy too long writing this review I need to get back to the grind. This game will change your life...for the better!!!

This game is a perfect balance between idle and active playing. Meaning that you can take either approach. Even though playing actively will get you far in this game, you can eventually achieve the same result by playing just a few minutes a day. The war system is beyond fair and there is minimum to none advantage for pay-to-win players.
Most importantly, the support team is unbelievably responsive and helpful. They appreciate your complaints, error reports, feedbacks and suggestions.
Just yesterday I had an issue with upgrading my weapon. They immediately sent some resources to get me going until they fix the problem.

If I could change one thing (oh I would love to), I would endow the Leader and Warlord with the ability to exclude members from the war. Because some team mates will neither unregister themselves nor participate in the war, causing great inconvenience for the whole clan. At some points I was about to quit only because of such irresponsible people.

I have been playing this game for over a year now and it is a very good game. The whole idea is a great one: a staging game where you can modify your team with different boosts and items. The competitive modes like arena and blitz are very good and are great for people who want to push to the top. Expeditions and dungeons are really good as they are great ways to get resources without feeling too grindy. The guild system is well established and is very fun. Fighting bosses in the boss events is really great, although I do think that the lower level option is not very useful for taking down the boss. Guild wars are well done, but with the necessary 3 teams it is quite difficult for lower level players to have 3 high power teams ready to fight. The daily reward feels very good to collect and spinning the lucky wheel never gets old. I think that a story mode would be great, as currently the storyline revealed in the beginning does not have a proper end, making it feel as if you are not on a quest to rescue the princess.

When first starting the game it can be a bit slow and gaining power can be a challenge. But there are MANY reasons to keep playing. One of which is that this game is great for players who can’t/ won’t spend hundreds of dollars to get stronger. It has a great system in place to collect flooz (the important currency). I haven’t spent a penny on the game and I’m still a valuable member of my guild. Also the discord is extremely helpful. I recently had to switch phones and my account didn’t transfer over to the new phone so after talking to an admin in the discord and writing to the game makers I was able to get my account back which I had been playing on for about a year. This game is always getting better and the developers are always reaching out to the players on the things that need to be improved upon. This games communication to its player base is a great example of how all games should be run. I HIGHLY recommend this game to everyone.

I’ve played this game a few years back when it was fresh, had a lot kinks and stuff to work on, but it was a lot of fun. Didn’t feel like those other AFK games where you spend hours of doing nothing just to get strong and the person that spent the most time AFK wins, no, this game actually makes you put in effort and think about strategizing where your effort is placed because there is so many possibilities due to team compositions. I walked away from this game because I got bored and wanted to try other games, only to realize that other games are not up to these guys level in dedication yet, so I decided to come back. The Admin and Developers are spot on when it comes to support and listen to their players. This game does have a P2W feel, but you can get by with just watching Ads to get points, so the F2P is still strong with this one. Giving this game 5/5 stars because they really know what they are doing to improve the versatility and quality of this game with weekly events and community events.

by Nytmaré

I’ve been playing this game for 240 according to the in-game stats, and I can say that it has been and is an excellent product. Pacing feels engaging, whether you’re just starting out acquiring all the available characters or more tenured and starting to work toward strategic teams for the different in game events. The game is an Idle game at its core, but active play will definitely help capitalize on the different modes and in gaining Flooz (in game currency), and that mix helps keep it feeling fresh. The game does have in app purchase opportunities, but none of these seem game breaking and feel balanced overall (skins being a personal favorite).
A new note on my part, I experienced a data corruption recently that would have set me back 67 days worth of work on one character but this was easily fixed by the Godzilab team. Suffice it to say, these guys are doing good work on the game overall, but maintain a very high level of player interaction and are there to help with the technical issues as well.

Excellent game, definitely worth the time! Give it a play and see.

Have been playing this game for almost 6 months now, and I’m hooked. What makes this game fun play is the non-user management. Let me explain: so out side of acquiring, upgrading, and evolving your heroes, attacks and skills happens automatically. What really gets me reopening this game and ignoring others is the actual strategy of building synergetic teams for pvp/gw (which I 100% suggest you plug into a developing guild or new player friendly, it opens up so much more for the game with personal connections to your guild mates). Resources and hard currency are given out in the form of constant event, so if you are the type to accumulate and then spend, GREAT! This game is for you. If you’re the type to drop $ and get it done quicker, GREAT! This game is for you. I’m a 0vip and I am one of the strongest players in my guild (undefeated season in guild war so far) you can succeed as a F2P or as a P2W player, it all comes down to acquiring hero’s and building teams that work well together. And just to mention the art work and style of this game is awesomeness. The devs really created something enjoyable to play. 10/10 👍🏽

First off let me say I never review games. Even if I love the game. I’ve played Clash Royale for two years and Clash of Clans for five. I adore the games and still have never written a review. That’s just to put things into perspective for someone like me who never writes reviews ever. This game deserves as much praise as I can give it. Completely unique, and borderline a game changer how well that could mix rpg with a tycoon concept game. It’s interesting, challenging, and rewarding. At no point have I wanted to give up, because of the “pay to win” concept every free game is all about. It’s simplicity and complexity are so will knitted together I can’t put the game down. It doesn’t need constant attention, and if you want to give it constant attention, the never ending levels will keep you interested. The game play is amazing and so are the visuals. I hope the game developers read this review and love it, just as I love their game. Keep the game running, keep the events going, and don’t stop watching this game for a few years at the least, it’s booming and there is a bright future ahead of this game so far. Congratulations on the masterminds behind this masterpiece !!

I Consider myself to be pretty invested in some clicker games such as clicker heroes, and personally love to pass time by playing them. When i discovered this game in early may of 2019 I thought that it would be just another average clicker game. I was wrong. This game is much funnier than your average clicker with many unique features. A few of these features are: customizing the strongest team you can get to power through countless stages! Fighting against other players teams in blitz, arena, and guild wars, which brings me to my final reason. An incredible guild system that adds a bunch of new feature that you would not see in any other game. This personally is one of my favorite feature because the guild allows you not only to chat or fight other guilds, but to fight in unique events against bosses, complete difficult quest as a team, and allows you to access more rewards and benefits to boost your team even more! The guild system is very fleshed out and adds a ton more than most games. This may just be my favorite mobile game I’ve ever played. (And I’ve played A LOT of mobile games!),

I have been playing Crush’em all for over a year now. The biggest pros to this game is that you can actually earn everything for free besides hero skins. With dedication and time, you can get everything you want in the game. I love this game cause I am a busy person that enjoys a game you can get off of right away. A lot of games in CrushThemAll Store aren’t truly “afk” but Crush’em all is very close to that. I’m not usually a gamer that sticks with games long but this game is so easy to put down whenever. You don’t feel like you missed out on a ton of rewards cause you weren’t on the game for hours a day. This game is great for busy college kids, working parents, and honestly everyone who wants to have a social life and more. Love this game and I hope it never stops being amazing! If anyone is curious about cons, the only one I can think of is the in game currency, Flooz is very expensive. But honestly that isn’t even that bad either cause you can watch ads to earn free flooz. It just takes a lot of dedication and over time you will earn plenty of flooz to buy in game content with. If you haven’t tried this game yet, try it! If you want a social life and are busy in real life, this is the game for you!

I find this game very fun, I have been playing for about 45 days now and I’m almost at stage 2000 and I find that I’m rewarded for everything I do. I love how much flooz is given to me for doing things like tapping the gold chests or beating certain stages and I love how so far no hero’s are locked behind a pay wall (as far as I know), and I love the whole vip status it’s an awesome idea that you guys benefit from me watching ads and playing your game and you in turn reward me for doing that. And not a whole lot seems broken or underpowered. Sometimes though the hero progression can be a little slow like I wish it was easier to level up hero’s that I wanted to instead of requesting only common hero’s to my guild, or maybe more than 3 hero’s in the 24 hour rotation. Another thing is I wish the weapon system was explained better because I didn’t use it for like a week because I was intimidated and didn’t know how to use it, and the weapon catalyst are super expensive at I think 250 blitz coins for just one. But other than that I see myself playing this game for a while, thanks for a fun game!
Edit: also I don’t like how I feel like I hit a brick wall in progression because I reached the last village that produces gold, it takes to long to produce and it gives too little gold

Recently this game was sold to a new company, and everyone complains that the new packs they offer for money ruined the game. While the owner did change, they did not ruin the game. You can still be competitive and 100% free to play. It is YOUR choice to make purchases. They give out PLENTY of free items and special resources in game and they are very good at responding to in game tickets send to the devs. Every mobile game ever has in game purchases to improve your gameplay and help you advance faster. But no one says you have to buy them. It’s an idle game. It’s always gonna be a slow grind at first. But as your progress it becomes a much faster process. This game has so many game modes that are extremely fun and competitive and a very large variety of heroes. 107 to be exact. All the recent reviews are trying to ruin the games reputation, when it’s actually just that they are mad that they made the quality of the purchasable packs better. What’s wrong with that? Buy one or two then and stop complaining. Or don’t buy any and just do f2p like 90% of us did since day one. I stand by this game 100% and it is easily the best and most vast idle game out there. Absolutely worth the download whether you plan to spend a bit of money or not. Keep crushing!

At first, my friend and I started to play the game. Enjoyed battling each other who had a higher power vs each other. We joined an active guild together, now working with each other on guild events and quests. We still battle each other on who has the better hero team set up from the new update on friendly battles. At the end of the day, Crush them all is thee best game my friend and I continually battle each on to get better. Also, recommend to anyone who is into playing with others and helping each other advance at their own game. The game is very unique into each hero on elements, classes, and genders. Even making heroes hard to obtain than others from commons, rare, epics, and legendaries. You have to play to your heroes strength of what you have. Cannot stop playing every event in a rotational cycle of blitzes, arena battles, double reward events, and boss events. Best idle game I’ve play and I’ll continue to play. Always patiently waiting for the next curious update to release to better enjoy the game. Thanks crush them all!
