  • well made but very boring

    the quality of the game is decent, however it's a skeleton of a game. you have the basics and it stays at the most basic and minimum level. there is almost no difference that separates Legendary units to regular units except 1 skill which pretty much has the same special effects. the battle is 99% auto attack based. I have never fall alseep that many times playing a game and every time i open this game I falls asleep after a few minutes of playing because it's that boring.

    aside from being very boring the units u can use in fights are so random too. you can have a team set up in 1 battle and suddenly it changes in the next. all I see a simple frame with a lot of paying options. just a gacha game that's not even fully developed with nothing unique or outstanding.
  • Nostalgic but niche and p2w

    I love the 2 games in 1. And how they are connected, two versions of the same world where things played out differently. The problem is, It feels like two different games and I get confused between the two. I often find myself looking for characters, skills, abilities or items that I have in one world and not the other. Maybe I will get used to it but I’m the type of gamer who needs to finish their current game before starting another so it’s driving me nuts 😂

    The game is 100% pay to win but luckily I am not a fan of most of the characters who are plagued with generic anime tropes. So I don’t care to pull for most characters. The game is filled with gacha tropes as well. Continually urging the player to pull on banners or by energy to keep playing. Try not to fall for the traps, take your time and it’s a very enjoyable game.
  • Great Game! Has a lot of potential!

    I started playing the day this game came out, and I have been having a blast! People have been complaining about the gacha, but don’t let that discourage you from playing! The gacha system is super friendly and allows you to get the characters pretty easy! I got a legendary first pull and I have gotten other legendaries! Not to mention that saving up is super easy to with the rewards they give you! There’s no pressure to spend money on the game unless you want to do that. I also love the combat, characters, and the storylines! I’ve never played a game where there were multiple endings until this game came out! I wish that we had the ability to replay certain chapters instead of starting over for convenience sake! That’s really my only complaint. I can’t wait to see where the game goes in the future!
  • A refreshing game

    The pixel art lured me in, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that it exceeded my expectations in other aspects. The graphics are of course beautiful, but the storyline is also rich and characters likable. I love the gameplay style in how there is a concentrated ‘story mode’ and then a separate battle/gacha mode.

    My only complaint is that I don’t really like how the female mc looks (the male mc looks way better imo) but that’s just a personal complaint so I am still giving it a five!
  • Unique and Addicting

    This game has me coming back every day to make new progress and discover something new. There are so many different things to do, which involve immersing yourself into the story and characters, but also provide a way to collect necessary materials for further progression into the main storyline. The game play itself has me hooked, and not to mention the different ways your able to customize your characters ability depending on how you want to play. I truly wish there were more games out there like this one, thank you dev’s!
  • Potentially legendary game ruined by greed

    This game has the potential to be the Genshin of tactical pixel gaming or simply the new FFT. Unfortunately, the lack of freedom due to stamina being required even for story content and ridiculous double banners (like Genshin’s weapon banners but for their featured characters) ruins it for me. Stamina should only be for mat/gear farming and double banners are a scam that I will never invest in. I play a ton of gacha and this is certainly on the greedier side, but at least it’s not P2W.

    The other reviews can tell you the good. FFT is one of my favorite games of all time. M I even bought the full WoTL version for mobile. Being newer, this does many things better in terms of story and design. The voice acting is also great although I wish English were an option. The music isn’t quite up to par but the modern combat and animations make up for it.

    They did a great job with design and story, but again, I’d like more freedom to play and like to know exactly what I’m getting when I consider spending money. It’s sad that they put all of this time into such an award-worthy game that will always stay under the radar due to a few poor decisions. I have a fairly large budget for Genshin and a few other gacha games but it won’t be going here.
  • TOP TIER

    This is up there with Langrisser and Arknights in terms of quality, although I must say there’ve been a few crashes which never happens in the aforementioned. Unit position rotation and class changes would make it better but not a dealbreaker. Also, pricing of currency is pretty outrageous. Storyline is not innovative or dramatic like FF Tactics or Octopath but it’s well written. The NRG replenishment system is horrible as you only have a couple refills to purchase with gems and the cost for each map uses a large percentage of it. You also can’t purchase much with real money. Overall, I like it a lot. They definitely need to make more of these types of games. Highly recommend for any tactics junkies out there.
  • Great Game But One Big Problem

    I think the ability to actively play the main protagonist of the story should stay consistent. I really liked playing him when I first used him in the tutorial, teaching me to use the heal ability and how to attack, then took him away and I havent gotten to play him since. I’d really like to play my main character on the grid. This was the main reason I continued to play but now I can’t play him as a character. I hope you add this one feature because it is extremely crucial in my decision to play.
    Final Fantasy Tactics allowed you to play Ramza through the entire storyline and that’s my standard for all grid strategy games. I don’t want to develop that initial attachment then never be able to play them again. All while he is still active in scenes and partakes in conversations
  • launch later big problems

    i LITERALLY CANT PLAY THE game anymore upon entering characters list the screen freezes while the game is still playing, getting rank up material the screen freezes while the game still plays, trying to do the event key story the SCREEN FREEZES while the game still playing!! i’m playing this on a apple pro TABLET on MOBILE were honkai,genshin and even wurthering waves work on it perfectly. i put the graphics on low settings in this game and still it doesn’t work, i offload the app and reinstalled it and it doesn’t work. you’ve said you need’ed more time to make the game work but it ain’t workin on mobile.
  • Hmm

    I don't know what I was expecting when I signed up months ago for the pre-release, but whatever I thought it was ... ain't it.

    Upon release, I didn't encounter any bugs that I can remember, I had 3 legendary people from pulls, but the amount of time it takes to be able to battle again is ridiculous. I understand they're going for 120 hours of gameplay, but it feels like 80 of those hours are pure dialogue. I absolutely CANNOT STAND cutscenes and skip over them as much as possible. Some of them, like naming the cat, you can't even skip over. Who cares what the cat's name is??

    Overall, it felt like this game fell short.
