Leave a Review AFK Journey
It keeps kicking me.
Hi! Don’t get me wrong, I hate that I have to give this game 3 stars, but I gotta be realistic. I have had a blast playing this and I got really good! The rewards are fulfilling, the gameplay’s a little slow but it’s fine, and the art is fantastic! I just can’t even enjoy my time in game without getting kicked out! I’ve done everything I can think of to make it work, but it won’t let me switch between seasons to get the properly leveled characters to fight with. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t do anything that requires a battle. I want to enjoy the game but it’s happened every single time I try to play any of your games and I was hoping that AFK Journey wouldn’t do this but I guess whatever y’all use to run the games just isn’t compatible with my phone. Thank you to anyone who reads this, it’s happened every time and I have had to give up on the other games because of this issue. Hopefully this gets fixed with AFK Journey at least.Show lessBlazeCoMay
Fun game but imbalanced required resources
This game is very fun and addictive. I would give it a higher score but certain elements are still imbalanced making it impossible for F2P players. As a note I have purchased some in game packages. The developers have been listening to feedback and I give them props for that but one item still bottlenecks playing: temporal essence (the orange one). This is REQUIRED for character upgrades but there literally is no way to access this if one were purely F2P (the game gives some but mostly it requires paying to hope one gets in the Dream rankings to get it as a reward, but most of the higher rankings are from whales so it’s a catch-22). The game gives plenty of opportunities for the lower and higher essences but for some reason this one is literally impossible to acquire through normal game mechanics. The shop also doesn’t have balanced packages to acquire this; the cheapest package for ONE character costs $50+. This is ridiculous as there should be a way in game to get these items (albeit with a bit more challenge) or a decent option for paying. OR the dragon crystal shop portion should be a bit more balanced.
My rating “increased” due to positive developer response to players’ feedback but is decreased due to the aforementioned imbalance. Should this be rectified I would likely give the game 4 or 5 stars.Show lessÆscwine

I recently left a review and I can’t find it to edit it but I was complaining that the game crashed several times in a few minutes making the game unplayable. I also couldn’t contact any time of player support to see if this was a common issue that was being worked on. But they fixed it! And they let me know it was fixed. My only issue is that the battle modes page only has the backgrounds and no pictures on it if the characters or anything but hey, it at least works now and I know they have a lot of kinks that probably still need working out. I really like this game because I get to come home from work and school and collect all of my rewards and play a fun game without much grinding. I really enjoy the AFK aspect and this has become one of my main games at the moment because of how easy it is to interact with. Whether I only have 5 min to play or an hour I can enjoy this game and I love it!Show lessBut liked

I want to start off this review by stating that this game is absolutely amazing! I’ve had so much fun playing this game because of its gameplay, rewarding mechanics, exploration, music, and most importantly the AFK mechanic that allows me to progress in the game without having to put in too much effort at all times. I’m very busy, and so having the ability to let the game run on its own while I work on other things is super helpful so that when I DO return to the game, I don’t have to worry about so much grinding. This game is EASILY 5 stars, but my problem lies with the many glitches and bugs.
I’m not sure if it’s the app itself or my phone just bugging out but I’ve recently as of May 14th noticed that the app never seems to run for very long before glitching out of the game on my phone. Whenever I try to go into the Dream Realm, the app shuts down and kicks me out and I have to start over again. There were a bunch of visual glitches I ran into as well and I have a lot of screenshots and screen recordings of the app not loading or working properly.
I can’t enjoy the game if I can’t play it! And that’s unfortunately what has been happening lately. I REALLY want to give this game 5 stars, but the app just won’t load properly and I can’t fully enjoy this game because of it.Show lessstrawHat_Luffy
Should be called “AFK Grinding”
“Starter Season” work does not transfer to the new season. All the work you put in at the beginning is archived into a “starter season” section and you have to start over, with all your characters reset to zero on level. The only thing that translates from season to season is character ascension level. This game gives new meaning to the term “grinding” -and get used to it, because if there is one thing you’ll do that’s never ending, it’s grinding. Over and over and over again, with each new season, be prepared to level up your characters *and* equipment from level 0!
I can think of more entertaining ways of banging your head against a wall, like *literally* banging your head against a wall. This game was very fun and entertaining at the outset, and rapidly transitioned into nonstop, endless grinding. It’s a slap in the face coming to this game from AFK Arena and finishing the first season, and any fun I had after the now so-called “Starter Season” transitioned to the “Song of Strife” season has quickly diminished, the fun evaporating like a drop of water dripped onto an engine block after the engine’s been run hard through Phoenix in the middle of August.
Very, very, very disappointed.Show lessDntFrgtTheJoker
Had Potential
This game was my favorite on the app store last sason. Great visuals, exploration, and voice acting. And now the developers are butchering it. With the new update/season, they have reduced both the quality AND quantity of rewards from chests, afk stages, battle drills, noble path, and more. Free to play players get scraps. Players who only buy progression-based booster packs get less for their money. The servers are now being grouped into regions, so players who were competitive for free or cheap are now going to be placed up against whales on different servers and become irrelevant, which also means fewer rewards.
The entire purpose of this update was to restrict resources and force players to pay to progress. Clearly the game got a big player base in season one, so now they can afford to kick out anyone not paying enough. Players can either quit, stop progressing, or start paying to have fun. Updates are meant to add to games, not take away rewards and hinder progress. This is by far the worst update I've ever seen, and I hope people use their wallets to get that message through to the developers.Show lessGreyHam18
Good Game. But the way to progress is eh
I love this game. Been playing it ever since the release and its really fun! Though the way to progress through the game is slightly tedious. Like some quests last 3-5 minutes after doing 50+ levels of the AFK stage then we have to dispel the Miasma or whatever its called again and it takes even longer! And after what, the 800 or 900th stage of the AFK arena in the 1st area there’s 3 stage options for example stage 951, 972, 958 though its annoying having to choose it. Sometimes the AFK mode is useless because of that feature and it gets really tedious. Hopefully the future quests are longer than before and actually worth the 50+ or 100+ stages! And the new season, its great. Though dispelling the second miasma takes stage 76?? How did it go from stage 5 to 76?? Anyways keep up the good work :) oh right. Forgot to mention, sometimes the chat in the quest or the options or anyone speaking is in Chinese??Show lessnooneshush
Almost Perfect
I’ve now played this game for several weeks after playing many afk and idle games and can honestly say this has been my absolute favorite I’d give it 4.8 stars if I could. The game is incredibly well made and the story and art are fantastic. Even though you can pay to win it doesn’t feel at all like you need to. It has tons of fun modes to play and is absolutely worth checking out.
My only complaint at all and the only reason I rated it less than 5 stars is the fact that my favorite game mode “honor duel” feels rather superfluous. In most of the modes that you can win by purely being a whale you get at least cosmetic rewards for being highly ranked. I wish they would add something similar for honor duel as it’s so much fun and the only mode that seems like a truly competitive game mode.
Pros: excellent gameplay and story mode
Lots of fun game modes to play
Great art style
You don’t have to whale to play
Cons: even if you are like me and like to spend money on games you play a lot this game is so ridiculously expensive to invest in it’s impossible unless you are a whale. The packs for 10 draws can be $50 in some instances which is obscene for a low chance of getting anything at all.
Also no cosmetic rewards or titles for the competitive modes that are truly competitive. And the ones that exist for arena mode expire after a set time limit which is pretty lame. Give us permanent season titles to show off for years to come and people will want to stick around.Show lessunplayable due to ads
Don’t play this game. Beware.
The first season of the game was to get you hooked, very fast, rewardable progression with a few worthwhile bundles and battle pass. The second “season” can hardly be even called a season. Rewards and character nerfs discouraging players to even play the game. Imagine taking the time to focus on getting one character then for it to be nerfed in an afk game. The lighter more affordable purchases usually for light spenders and dolphins to keep up and be competitive have been reduced, making no incentive to purchase it. Progression is extremely slower as they plan for this major update to last for 4 months. Although, with these nerfs that that is a slap in the face to the community, I can expect this game to not live long after a few weeks. Overall it has or at least is becoming a game for whales and they cant even hire proper translators for the game. Would not recommend and you should spend your time and money elsewhere on a different gacha game. They try to rope you in with sunk cost fallacy so beware.Show lessNotMatrix
Beautiful Mobile Experience
I’ve played AFK Arena for quite some time but it never aligned with my play-style completely. AFK Journey provides a phenomenal story line, great gaming experience, with the diverse PvP/PvE options that I loved about AFK Arena.
While I would not go so far as to say it’s impossible to win without paying, I will say that the price point for extra packages in-game runs fairly steep. As with any new, popular game, there are some performance issues that need to be ironed out, but nothing that doesn’t make playing the game worthwhile.
The game is breathtaking and the gameplay was designed from a players perspective. The development team is also very involved, so problems are usually fixed quickly. If you’re on the fence about it, I recommend giving it a go.Show lessCrunchytunaroll
