### 2/5 — see below

*2026-06-19, version 4.5.0*

file size 42 GB - too download         100 % of all the files yes too big so downloaded something else - provably too small tiny IPHONE screen judging by how small the download numbers were.

### 3/5 — Good game but

*2026-05-26, version 4.5.0*

It’s a good game but QOL is in short supply and the energy economy is atrocious. It’s honestly infuriating how little you can do in a day because everything requires energy and there is very little energy and extremely expensive if you want to buy some. The devs have also committed the ultimate Gacha sin, you spend more time playing story characters than your gatcha pulled characters.

### 4/5 — 知名度が低いのがもったいない

*2026-05-18*

プレイ環境はiPhone17proです。鳴潮、ホヨゲー、nte、エンドフィールド等々、スマホで遊べるゲームのストーリーは全てスキップ連打し戦闘コンテンツだけを楽しむタイプの人間ですが、結構面白いと思います。ストーリー進行は画面ぽちぽちからの戦闘を繰り返すタイプなので、わざわざどこかへ歩いて行く等は一切ありません。数あるスマホゲーの中でも戦闘コンテンツはゼンゼロが1番楽しいと思ってますが、このゲームはゼンゼロの低予算バージョンって感じがします(褒めてます)。ガチャに関しては、PU確定90連天井ガチャとすり抜けありの70連天井ガチャがあり、70連ガチャはすり抜けたら次はPU確定のタイプです。武器ガチャは70連天井のすり抜け無しに加え、キャラのPU期間が終わっても引くことができます。全てのキャラのモチ武器がいつでも引けるって感じです。新規で始めた方についてはストーリー進行でガチャ石が大量にもらえるのでうはうはです。有名タイトルのガチャ石配布量に慣れてる私にとってこのゲームの配布量は正直たまげました。ただ、ストーリー進行はスタミナ消費制なので継続して遊ぶ必要はあります。古参ではないのでストーリーを全て終えた後の石の配布量がどうなのかはまだわかりません。エンドコンテンツは周期でリセットされるよくあるタイプでそこで石の回収もできます。難易度については属性相性をちゃんと考えた上でしっかり育成してないとクリアできないレベルですが、キャラ武器の凸は重要ではないです。無課金でもクリアはできるが全属性分キャラを育成しなきゃいけない分期間がかかるってやつです。個人的な意見ですが、この会社に予算がもっとあり、キャラや戦闘のグラフィックやエフェクトが向上すれば有名なゲームになっていたと思います(お金がたくさんかかっていても面白くないゲームはいっぱいありますので)。いろいろと書きましたが、容量が約40GBと多いですがレビューを見るくらい気になっているのであれば試しに遊んでみる価値はあるゲームだなと思いました。

### 4/5 — Great game but..

*2026-03-27, version 4.0.0*

it’s honestly an amazing game. it’s very generous and the graphics are very good. the story is also very interesting and i like that you can skip it and get a short summary. the only downside to this game is the amount of fan service.. it’s impossible to ignore with all the stuff like the pictures on the banners and the fact that it’s 90% girl characters with most having huge busts and weird jiggle physics that even without paying attention you notice. other than that it’s awesome.

### 4/5 — Good game but need to fix a few things.

*2026-03-17, version 4.0.0*

Can I have my 90 summons back? Lol, I think you should be a little clearer about how the summons work. Waisted a whole 90 summons trying to lose my 50 when that wasn’t possible to begin with lol. Good game but it’s not a very good feeling putting in hours of work just to have been wrong from the beginning. And you should have two separate reward pools in details because that’s what I went too to see what characters were available to get but it turns out that the guaranteed is for the limited character EVERY time. And I wasn’t aware of that. Waste of money, waste of materials and a waste of time I’ll never get back lol

### 5/5 — Прекрасные эффекты

*2025-12-07*

Прекрасная игра мне очень нравится но добавьте пожалуйста русский язык

### 5/5 — Absolutely best

*2025-12-02, version 3.8.0*

This game is the best game I’ve ever played, although I’ve been playing a lot of different games but this is actually very good, all characters and some skin are free, graphics and combat very good, hopefully the devs update something incredible in the future ❤️❤️❤️

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2025-11-22, version 3.8.0*

This game is awesome don’t get me wrong. It has a crashing problem. I could deal with a random crash here or there but during a pull for characters…. No this gotta get fixed. I can’t count how many times I’ve have started a ten draw and soon as you swipe to start the gacha draw it just crashes. So don’t know if you got anything or who or what. But those scans you bought or saved are gone and your left feeling screwed. Come on now. And some terrible frame drops and lag. But the crashing on pulls is a bad deal.

### 5/5 — BRASIL

*2025-10-31*

Jogo até que é bonito mas poderia ter dublagem e lengenda português seria ótimo para nois brasileiros

### 4/5 — See below

*2025-10-17*

If crashes agin ( taking up 50. 1 % of the memory of my 64 GB PHONE ) I will deleted it & put something else on phone - & explain why Facebook use to have crashed zero times .

### 5/5 — Review for Aether gazer developer team

*2025-10-02*

First of all, I want to say a huge thank you to the Aether Gazer team for creating such a beautiful and immersive game. The character designs, fluid combat system, and engaging storyline make it a truly standout experience in the mobile action RPG genre. It’s clear that a lot of love and effort has gone into every detail, and as a player, I really appreciate that.
That said, I do want to bring attention to an issue that’s been affecting the overall experience — the random crash/kick-out bug. It can be pretty frustrating to be suddenly thrown out of the game, especially during important missions or events. I know bugs happen in any game, and I’m confident your team is already working hard to address it, but I just wanted to highlight it in hopes of a fix soon.
Despite this, I absolutely love Aether Gazer and look forward to seeing how the game continues to grow. Keep up the amazing work!

### 1/5 — Мало

*2026-05-22, version 4.5.0*

Мало красивых тянок

### 1/5 — Size ?

*2026-05-12, version 4.5.0*

Optimization, never.

### 1/5 — Really like this game until…

*2026-05-12, version 4.5.0*

I really like this game a lot until I realized that you couldn’t switch on the fly between your different characters. Why have more than one character on screen if you can’t change over to them? It seems like such a waste, punishing gray raven, Zenless zone zero, Wuthering waves, Arknights Endfield, NTE and project Snowbreak all give you that option. I would probably re-download this game and continue playing it if y’all made this change but if not, that’s too bad.

### 1/5 — 25 gigs for what?

*2026-03-17, version 4.0.0*

Massive game that requires me to offload and delete most apps and message attachments on my phone and it’s generic and doesn’t have a pc client. Who is still making unoptimized uncompressed mobile games at this point that take up half of your phone storage? Horrible.

### 1/5 — I can’t play this game no matter how hard I try

*2026-01-24, version 4.0.0*

I’ve waited patiently for all the data to download, i deleted basically all my photos and apps that are able to be deleted in case my storage was too high but just when I get past the first cutscenes the game crashes. I tried to fix the issue but it doesn’t do anything. This game looks very pretty and I was looking forward to playing but I can’t even go to the tutorial. Idk If it’s a bug that is being fixed but it still left me disappointed and frustrated.

### 1/5 — Deleting an account for no reason

*2026-01-14*

Why did you delete my account in the game? My account was pumped, there were pumped characters. I downloaded the game again, logged into an account that was tied to icloud, and as a result it was empty. 
You would at least offer compensation to the mail or something else, because he has a long time, and in the end, this time was simply devalued and deleted…

### 1/5 — Где акк?

*2025-12-30*

До этого я играла ,мне даже очень понравилось ,я прокачала аккаунт ,вот я не давно решила опять скачать чтобы зайти на этот аккаунт а в итоге он удалился,естественно он был привязан ,когда я зашла на акк все пошло заново почему то,как буд то я новый аккаунт создала,разработчики,поработайте над этим и верните аккаунт.

### 1/5 — I can't log in to my account

*2025-12-04, version 3.8.0*

I used to play this game, I had an upgraded account, but after an error that prevented me from logging into the game, I deleted it. Now, after downloading, I can't log into my account, it all starts from the beginning.🫩

### 1/5 — Где?

*2025-09-19*

Качал 25 гигов что бы узнать что моего аккаунта на котором играл год назад и в который вливал деньги больше нет. Естественно он был привязан.

### 1/5 — не советую.

*2025-08-22*

давала этой игре несколько шансов , по итогу получила наплевательское отношение разработчиков к своим игрокам. Вроде игра не бета версия а такое ощущение, что играешь в кусок недоделанного изделия. 1)Гугл почта изначально при нажатие, чтоб зайди на аккаунт вылетала-писала в поддержку, итог: "мы не знаем и бла-бла" 
2)Постоянно новый аккаунт, на офф. сайте я могу зайди на аккаунт с ТОЙ ЖЕ почты, в самой игре же весь прогресс начинается сначала, итог~ такой-же. 
В самой игре нет нечего нового, типичный фансервис, который даже схавать нельзя ибо полная ерунда. Скины по типу:твоя горничная, жена и тд. зачем? для пубертатных китайцев которые женщину не видели не раз? и нет, я люблю открытые дизайны, но лишь тогда когда их подают хорошо, а не как кусок пластмассы. Огромные вырвиглазные бубсы, платья которые просто прилипают к коже, а как держаться уж подавно неизвестно. Тупое копирование персонажей таких как:
Yingzhao-Raiden Mei
Buzenbo Tengu-Seele 
Living Soul-Wendy
Kuninotokotachi-Kiana и все это только с Honkai 3rd. Вообщем как и вся игра. Огромная копирка, ноль чего-то оригинального или своего.

### 5/5 — Hope to fix it

*2026-05-14, version 4.5.0*

I like the gameplay the story and characters design. Everything is ok until i don’t know why i just play it for not even a minute i get crashes, i hope you fix this issue cause i play other games it doesn’t crash or kick me out and my phones is strong enough to run huge storage games, i still enjoy the game though still want to fix this so i can get the best experience. Thank you if you read this (sorry if i bad at eng)

### 5/5 — Peak

*2026-05-11, version 4.5.0*

Very fun

### 5/5 — generous and really well done game

*2026-05-06, version 4.5.0*

I love this game so much I’ve been playing it for a while as someone who used to deal with stingy games it feels good to get so much from this game and they have amazing designs for their characters, pretty much a free to play game. I also love the mini-games where you can play and get a lot of things from it, but one thing I would kindly ask for is if you guys can take away the censorship for some characters. It doesn’t bother me but I liked how they looked before.

### 5/5 — Game needs more recognition

*2026-05-06, version 4.5.0*

Not gonna waste my time listing out everything that other people already have. It’s very F2P friendly, skins and models are very high quality, animations are sick. Give it a try

### 5/5 — Really solid

*2026-05-06, version 4.5.0*

This game is so f2p friendly, I honestly wish it had as much popularity as mainstream games ( e.g Arknights, Wuwa) the models also keep improving!

### 5/5 — Best RPG Mobile Game I’ve ever played and enjoyed!

*2026-05-06, version 4.5.0*

Ever since this game released, it’s been very fun! The gauche is far more fair and the events are exciting. Thank you developers for making it possible for us to play this!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-25, version 4.0.0*

I’ve stopped playing this game and always manage to come back because the game is amazing recommend believe they should never stop updating this game so well character animations style and in general great gameplay

### 5/5 — Don’t listen to the 1 star recent

*2026-02-20, version 4.0.0*

This game has always been generous. Plenty of content. Very F2P friendly. The story, characters, and music are amazing.  You can come in at anytime and enjoy this wonderful world.


The account migration was announced ahead of time for months. You had MONTHS to take 2 mins to ensure your account wa safe. The game went back to the creators to publish. It was explained in game and out of game with tutorials and videos on how to migrate your account. Not only was there a hard date for migration scheduled but they went out of their way to even restore accounts beyond the deadline. We got plenty of compensation and the content has kept on coming. 

So don’t listen to the “deletion” 1 star reviews as those users are telling lies.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-02-04, version 4.0.0*

Fighting and combos feel so nice, VFX look great, character design is amazing and the gacha is “generous” all in all a great experience

### 5/5 — English, and Refund, please?

*2025-12-12, version 4.0.0*

I don’t know the cost of this, but supposedly, (maybe) a scammer bought this on my mother’s card. I questioned about it, and I decided to try it out, and I couldn’t understand the Chinese language that was on there. Here are my two questions:

Can I get a refund? 
May players have the ability to access the English translation for this game? 

Thank you. 

I am putting it on 5 stars to put it on top, but it is originally 1 star.
