  • New Season is Disappointing

    Was loving the games release, played everyday for over a month. Put up with issues such as placeholder/untranslated text and ui bugs that would often crash my game. Spent a little bit of money (tbh the popups for bundles etc are quite excessive) and just managed to meet the requirements to play season 1 the day of launch. Very unhappy with the choice to reset most paths of progression/growth in the game for the sake of a new season. It’s bad game design. The new rewards and systems are very unsatisfactory. won’t pick up the game again, unless major changes are made. Bye AFK

  • Nerfed

    I was really enjoying the game pre-seasons but then seasons came along with character and reward nerfs. In a gacha where your investment with time (and money for some) into specific characters and teams that you've committed those resources to, there should be no excuse for nerfs.
  • Predatory changes made this game bad

    First season was fun, I dropped maybe $60 on the game, it was worth it.

    Second season they have made the game so predatory and greedy.

    You won’t have any fun playing this game unless you spend over $200, and for that you can buy 3 AAA games.

    Don’t bother with this game unless they backtrack the nerfs and predatory changes.

  • 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.

  • One of the most enjoyable games of its class

    This game is not perfect…yet, but the team seem to be working hard to improve the few things the players find to be less than perfect.

    The game as of writing this is insanely deep. The overworld gameplay is amazing, the graphics are really nice, there is TONS of content to engage in, there are very few limits on progress, and even at higher levels (my group are lvl 260 supreme rarity) you can still find plenty to do each day, unlike most games where the content and progress rapidly drops off.

    The game is still quite new and the devs are adding alot of content and adjusting the balance so the game is changing.

    The player base is huge and very active and very cool. Lots of folks happy to offer advice or just chat about random stuff.

    A great game worth checking out!

  • 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??

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Carpet pulled from under you

    Launch was great. Beautiful art, fun character building.
    New season changes that by nerfing characters players invested in, and drastically slashing rewards from every source. This makes it nearly impossible to progress without paying.
    Avoid this game for now
  • They nerfed the game, now is P2W

    Since the start of the new season, everything feels so slow. It seems they nerfed everything from progression to rewards we get, F2P players like me have no chance to keep up with big spender's anymore. Pre season it was a 5 star game now I have to lower it to 1 star due to that wrong path they’re choosing to go with the game…
