Unlike many other game where the items are (bound), all traceable items can be used as one pleases. UPDATE came back after a few yrs of being gone. With up to 11star cards now, you would think they would make the P7* tradable at this point, sadly no. Nonstop events and can’t even trade event cards like in the past. ### 3/5 — Trash gacha *2025-07-01, version 1.0.53* Welp, i love the gameplay, one of my fav game ever... but bro we’re just get oversexualized / goonable characters plus the rates in this game was trash. We’re not going to get 8/ 9 / 10 units without the guaranteed... but anyway i love vodyanoy so mich she’s my lovely daughter. ### 2/5 — Can’t even get in *2025-05-08, version 1.0.53* I just got the game and I can’t even load the game it just keeps crashing ### 2/5 — Ehhh… *2025-04-21, version 1.0.53* I’ve played this game for years now, only thing keeping me going is just trying to collect what little scraps this game gives me to collect some cards. Once you’ve finished the quest line, there really isn’t much you can do besides the same weekly events, over and over again that barely reward you any crowns to pull for new units. Very disappointing I love collecting units, but after finishing the story there is no other way to get crowns efficiently, and the rates are garbage. So when you do manage to save up 3k crowns most of the time it’s for nothing since you probably will pull garbage. This game is only enjoyable when it’s their anniversary and they actually feel generous to give us crowns, and pulls. Devs do better, add more quests frequently, and make the event prizes worth grinding for, and actually make new events instead of the same 6 events on rotation all the same it gets old. Reward your loyal players you would be nothing without them!!!! ### 4/5 — Why do I have to download so much *2025-02-13, version 1.0.53* It’s a great game but you have to download a lot like a lot every time you click on a button but everything else is good. ### 3/5 — Constantly *2023-12-09, version 1.0.51* Upgrading i see why my brother deleted this game ### 3/5 — Play game *2023-10-09, version 1.0.50* Stuck on screen Now Loading @@ ### 2/5 — Is it really Always? *2023-05-31, version 1.0.49* Is it really Always re Download data? Like i dont have that sich good internet So i think i have to leave this game ### 1/5 — 한글 지원 ㄴ *2022-12-14* 한글 지원 ㄴ ### 2/5 — Now loading bug/black screen *2022-10-17, version 1.0.46* Why always black screen? My internet speed is fine lol. Can u fix it ### 4/5 — Game isn’t bad *2022-09-26, version 1.0.46* Games not bad, you don’t necessarily have to spend money to have an awesome deck. The game rewards you with plenty of crowns. Events are alright with nice rewards. Quests are pretty straightforward story line is good. I just wish there wasn’t only 2 chapters. I beat both chapters in about 3 days. But still pretty fun ### 1/5 — Is kicking me out of the app the whole game? *2022-09-26, version 1.0.46* When I download it on my iPhone, I went in, start it, and then it kicked me out. What fun!!! ### 2/5 — Boring and expensive *2022-05-26, version 1.0.44* After playing this game for two years here are my thoughts 1) first they have the same 3 or 4 events on a repeat cycle and there is never any new events or gameplay. Gets boring fast. 2) they expect you to spend $600 plus trying to get any new characters to play. And yes if they say on your 25th try youll get the character they mean 25th. Each roll is 3000 coins or $30 plus tax. 3) what is worse they have built the new series of bosses (sprites,tarots, etc) to basically be undefeatable unless you have paid a lot of money to create a 9 star team. 4) relating to 3, when you do gamble for stronger cards, with higher dmg, higher skill chance, burst gauge, special skills guess what.? You cant use this with the boss fights. They reduce your skill chance to point of non existence, they dont allow burst, they reduce your dmg, and you cant use skills because they are reset each turn…so why bother even getting stronger cards! I would not recommend this game as you can see why. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working on iPhone6 plus *2025-11-24, version 1.0.56* After the game got updated, it's no longer working on my device. The logo showed up then app terminated. ### 1/5 — 9+? *2025-10-21, version 1.0.55* How in the world is this game 9+ some of these women are half naked and you expect a nine-year-old to play this game this game should be for 18+ it’s really disgusting and the fact that you use names of things that you don’t even understand what they mean you’re just cashing in on Christian heritage like it means something to you, but it doesn’t. It’s just really disgusting the level of depravity. ### 1/5 — Account *2025-09-25, version 1.0.55* Please can i log in to my old account🥹 i’ve been playing for years and now i redownload it i cant log in ### 1/5 — App crash *2024-10-07, version 1.0.52* App keeps crashing on iPhone. ### 1/5 — Вечная загрузка ⚠️ *2024-10-04, version 1.0.52* Добрый день ваше приложения не работает она зависает на вечной загрузке Мой телефон : iPhone se 2022 поколения ### 1/5 — literally don’t even download at this point *2024-09-20, version 1.0.52* been playing this game since release and fell in love with the artwork and general overall fun of the game. but this 10th anniversary has really put the cherry on the cake that this game is going nowhere but a downward spiral i think we can all agree that the remix units need to stop it’s just a cycle of awful artwork that you 90% of the time need to spend money to get. as well as the only time any unit or worth or anything even evolvable ever comes back you have to pay money to even get a .2% chance of getting even one of them. this game has truly just lost everything about it that made it fun and i hope u all aren’t dumb enough to spend money on it. thank you for the ten years dev team but this is just sad at this point for me. ### 1/5 — Phone too hot *2024-09-15, version 1.0.51* Please please optimize the app. My 15 iPhone gets so so hot playing this game. It’s really bad and I’m worried about playing this game for long. ### 1/5 — Loading….. *2024-05-01, version 1.0.51* Is it tho? ### 1/5 — It fell off over the years. *2024-03-20, version 1.0.51* I used to be a long time player for Ishtaria, since 2018, reaching about level 300 being off and on. The strategy behind creating your decks and leveling your units made the game challenging in a way, using specific decks (set in elements, attack variants, whatnot) to fight against certain enemies. It’s your usual gacha card battle game, with various attack combinations at your fingertips. With newer updates through out the years, it was like they were adding more and more features just a run for your money. Crowns (currency) were already expensive, but with the release of new very overpowered units with extremely rare pull rates made the game more difficult to climb leaderboards, without making any purchases. The 7* Platinum should have been the highest tier card in my opinion. I’m sure the 8* addition bothered many others as well. New features, such as those stones, split, and unit loyalty just added more confusion, and unnecessary functions than what we already had. Although the app offered daily gifts to compensate, it wasn’t enough to gain any of what was being released. I’m unsure entirely of what has been added now— though I recently hopped back on to see if anything’s changes, and immediately uninstalled the game when I saw a 10* unit being advertised. Overall, it used to be a fun game with easy-to-understand gameplay and events, but it’s grown to be more complicated and expensive. It has become massive P2W with no easy way for new players to catch up. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Can't register. *2023-11-01, version 1.0.51* I've been sending out the registration email so I can play on my new phone with my account and it won't send me anything back. I even tried making a new email and trying again and nothing. I just need a password to my account. :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This should be 12+… *2025-08-31, version 1.0.55* Why is it 9+? They should the rate buff. ### 5/5 — i love this game so muchh!! *2023-12-03, version 1.0.51* gg>< ### 5/5 — Nostalgic like Ayakashi Ghost Guild *2023-11-23, version 1.0.51* I really love this game because it’s the closest thing I’ve found to Ayakashi Ghost Guild, which holds a dear place in my heart. The art is beautiful and the currency for pulling cards is very generous along with the insane fast leveling system. The game itself isn’t hard as long as you pull a few good cards, I’ve already managed to finish the event after playing for 3 days without spending a penny. If you want a casual game where you want a good story, amazing art, and an awesome close knit community then this game’s for you. ### 5/5 — BEST GAMEEE *2023-10-06, version 1.0.50* this game is so cuteee I cant beleive it If you wanna be idle you can and check in or play battles all the time like me llm ### 5/5 — How to say ‘’game’’ *2023-04-14, version 1.0.49* If you want a crash is gotta be fix the game if you can. ### 5/5 — Lovely Game But Challenging *2022-06-27, version 1.0.45* I love the game and all of it’s characters, events, options. However, if anyone can pass the stage: The Final Battlefield - 15/16. I praise you and bow down in your glory! I’m struggling with it and have been for a few weeks now, haha. Good luck to any new players that reach said stage, it’s a tricky one! ### 5/5 — MORE!!!! *2022-06-23, version 1.0.45* I’m new to the game but I’m very much enjoying it it reminds me of a lot of deity wars so it’s very nostalgic. Only game I’m willing to invest more into. I like the turn base card type games and the amount of units to evolve and they can be quite easy to to get. Complete all the quest in this game really quickly, just hope they implement more stories. I think for a 7 year game be nice they did crossovers with animes or something.more options to interact with your union or to do in the unions, more options for trading or even battles or like storyline raid quest be really cool. ### 5/5 — Keeps crashing!! *2022-04-14, version 1.0.43* I love this game! And I’ve been playing for 6 strong years but ever since the new maintenance that happened at 12 am CDT April 14, 2022. It Won’t even let me pass the title screen!! The game is still 5 stars in my book I just need this problem fixed for people who are having the same issue as me! ### 5/5 — Cant say much (EDITING) *2021-10-31, version 1.0.39* I’d rate it higher if i could CHANGE MY PARTY AND P L A Y T H E G A M E (CHANGING IT, I FIXED IT NVM. ITS GOOD AND ONLY REAL COMPLAINT I HAVE IS BC IT HAS LOADING SCREEN FOR EVERYTHING) ### 5/5 — сас *2020-09-25, version 1.0.27* отличная игрушка для убивания времени! вернулся в нее после долгого перерыва, и заметил, что она изменилась в лучшую сторону! по крайней мере, чаще стали выпадать карточки большей раритетности, чем года так 3 назад. или это просто удача... вас затянет до такой степени, что лучше не качайте ее, поберегите свои нервы. пэ.сэ. лопата от нее греется очень сильно, проценты улетают, но игра от этого хуже не станет 😳 пэ.сэ.сэ. арты просто улет --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
