  • Good tactics and art, bad everything else

    The tactical gameplay and art are good. Battles are fun. The story even starts out decent. But once you pass the intro and unlock/open up the rest of the game, like every other Asian rpg, it gets SO confusing and convoluted. I don't understand how the Fools errand story/characters relate to the Spiral of Destinies story/characters. You play with different versions of the characters, and the stories seem to go in different directions. Why are there different versions of the same units between the two modes?? And what are the "Bonds" for? And also like every other Asian rpg, there's SO much dialog, much of which is just fluff and doesn't contribute anything meaningful. I also don't like the so commonly used mechanic of leveling your units with resources - just makes the game feel cheap and money grabbing. And speaking of money, there are SO many different currencies/resources! Way too hard to keep track of all that. I suppose since they're constantly given out as rewards for playing, events, logging in, etc etc, it's not that important. Like everything else, it just makes the game overly complicated.
  • Very good game

    I mainly play mobile games and have not found a good game in a while and when I saw the ads for this pixel rpg I was intrigued and it IS the gameplay is smooth and strategic the characters and effects are beautiful and there is a gacha system but it doesn’t require money as you can exchange ingame currency for pulls and it is based on luck so it’s the same for everyone and I have gotten quite a few legendaries but definitely wish the pull rate for them was a little higher lots of different modes to play like story or tower to grind or progress story line it is an all around very fun game
  • Bricked (otherwise 4-5)

    Don’t give players an easy means to reroll in a gacha game and then brick their IP if they roll multiple times using the User Center -Delete Account feature as designed (a single instance at a time not even multiple instances). The music and art are great… and would like to experience the game but now can’t. I tend to reroll in gacha but do support financially once I’ve locked in, reroll isn’t just a FTP thing, just a means to start, that the company supported but with a glaring issue. A known issue that should have been addressed/fixed by now. Please fix so players don’t get the Cause or Failure - Operation is Abnormal error if deleting. Please make this a priority and once addressed, I will happily try the game again and adjust rating to represent the games many wins. Unfortunately, I am just unable to play with the current known errors.

  • Steps Backwards with Monetization Systems

    An energy system for everything, including story, currencies that expire with time, and distinguished paid and free currencies. These only exist to diminish the user experience and create the solution of paying money. Multiple battle passes and a gambling system that’s price increases as you try to get the reward you want… They threw everything at the wall and hope it sticks. After the intro mission, the game devolved into generic stages of missions with very mid story delivery. While the real game is locked behind a mode that you need keys to play. These keys also expire with time… It’s just sad to see a game of this genre regress to outdated practices. Overlooking all of that: the gameplay is a simple layup from an established archetype, the visuals are nice, and most of the characters I’ve seen have fun play patterns.
  • I love this game

    I love this game and I’m certain you will too. Let me tell you my experience first; I’ve grind so many different RPGs because I’m an avid gamer. I’ve played games from Call of Duty and PUBG to story games like Genshin Impact and Elden Ring. None of the games I’ve played can truly flesh out the characters like this game does. I often skipped cutscenes, but the immersive gameplay and storytelling made me listen attentively. This game had amazing mechanics, it is fun for a turn based game. The gameplay may feel repetitive at times, especially the Spiral of Destinies— having to redo each story line. Unlike most turn based games however, the game creates bonds within characters which really brings me to tears. Out of all the games I’ve played, on almost every console imaginable— this one stands out. The character design is adorable and retro! Overall, the gameplay, the gacha, the combat, it really sells it for me. I love this game and I promise once you dive into this one, you’ll love it too.
  • I haven’t felt this level of enjoyment with a tactics game since FFT

    Absolutely love the game so far, the story had caught my attention which is rare for a gacha game, the effort they put into the character development and world building is deeply appreciated when most other gacha games shoehorn their characters into the story or a side story in a weak effort to convince you to pull for them. The characters feel fleshed out in combat as well, the characters feel unique, the skill tree is well thought out (though I wish the ability to reset skills existed, thankfully I looked at guides but I know not everyone does) and there’s plenty of synergy amongst them so there’s plenty of customization in team building. The only complaint I have is how bad the AI is when you auto play but that’s a minor complaint since they made most of the material grinding very easy. I see myself playing this game for a very long time.
  • Game is fun

    FFT was definitely one of my favorite strategy rpgs. This game brings a lot of memories of it. Although in comparison it is a little different. It has type weaknesses and environment where you can use to your advantage. It feels fresh. I also love the spiral destinies game mode. That feels like an actual game. Where you have no stamina besides needing to rest your characters. Now that’s a game mode that doesn’t need changing. Some of the characters are pretty well thought out and are useful. Surprisingly Rising Falcon , who is a rare, is really powerful. There are some things that can get a little bit annoying. I really wished the stamina system wasn’t so taxing. Having 240 stamina and everything costs 30 endurance? That’s only 8 stages. Some other grind stages require 40 endurance. How are we supposed to progress if we have to balance so much on story and other progression missions? I really hope they nerf the endurance cost or maybe have a better reward system for endurance. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.
  • Not what it seems like….

    From the crazy hype this game had and the high quality sneak peaks this game looked SICK but…..eh, it’s kinda a strange game that rlly doesn’t deserve 2M downloads. Don’t get me wrong it has AMAZING graphics and combat but compared to the downsides it’s not worth it just for looks or combat. The cast of characters are rlly strange, the story is rlly strange and confusing with two versions of it, and the style is interesting but not rlly for me. Overall the story cast is really stupid and another one of those “u wake up with no memories and fail to beat a boss, now u go back in time over and over again till u get it right 🙄” SUPER ANNOYING. Also none of girls look any good or are hot at all. Like I’m super happy it’s not azur lane but make them eye catching. This game is for a certain type of people so I would give it a try. That’s all and thx for ur time!
  • Triangle Strategy meets Bad End Theater

    I just want to say, I got this game on a whim when it first released and had NO ratings, and I’m so glad I did. This game reminds me so much of everything I love about games like fire emblem three houses, and triangle strategy, and you can see the inspiration and loving homage to the genre in this game, but with its own unique twists. The several stories in one and the choices that matter and everything about it just make this game so much fun- and its generous too! I’ve never felt like I have to make purchases to progress, and I’m still gladly free-to-play. I cannot wait to see how the story begins to unfold, and whether or not I’m correct in my initial suspicions! Please, if you’re a fellow lover of fantasy, turn-based strategy games, give this one a try.
  • Honest Review

    I play Langrisser and other grid based battle games. Firstly, I will say that I adore the art style, the story is great, and I love the mode that uses keys rather than stamina for when you just want to play the game. The maps are detailed but combat on it is dull when battles dont use most of the terrain. Combat is basic, which is nice at times, but it would be nice to see skills that interact with each other or with the terrain. The pixel art is amazing and I hope they add a “color” system some day so we may have our units look like our own squad. A lot of stamina is needed to play the main game and keep up with it but its not something to really complain about with the Spiral mode needing none of it, so its great to have that split focus when you get bored of grinding. This game has a little bit of everything and I hope to see more from it as it continues on.
