On problem is that you hav to buy gems for most things and theres an ad after everything. ### 4/5 — Bien mais *2025-03-02, version 1.2.1* Ce jeu est très bien, pas traduit en français mais reste accessible. Par contre très dure d’avoir des interaction romantique avec leurs système de points ### 4/5 — ok ..? *2025-02-12, version 1.2.1* i just started playing this game and while it’s fun it’s very p2w … in order to get the best options you have to spend diamonds .. you only get ONE diamond per episode and ads only give you FIVE . you can’t complete offers if you’re a minor so it’s really hard esp to complete criticals.. ### 3/5 — it’s alr *2024-10-02, version 1.2.0* it’s okay but u don’t get very many gems that easy but other then that the story is good ### 4/5 — I liked it *2024-08-05, version 1.2.0* The fact that it’s not just guys and also has a girl love interest is really nice, thank you for that ### 4/5 — What happened *2024-05-13* Why have the developers stopped releasing GL yuri options 😠 I’m very upset ### 4/5 — 진짜 좋아요 *2024-05-12, version 1.1.4* 제목 그대로 좋아요 ### 3/5 — 구글계정 아이패드에서 못씀.. *2024-05-11, version 1.1.4* 실망….. ### 4/5 — Cute game, lots of ads *2024-04-13* It’s a cute game, and you get to date a woman! Lots of ads though. It can get annoying. ### 3/5 — To many adds/pay to win *2024-04-01, version 1.1.4* It’s an awsome game don’t get me wrong- But…. There are way to many adds and it’s practically pay to win so🤷‍♀️ ### 4/5 — Falta que lo pongan en español *2024-03-19* El juego es bueno y la trama también pero el único inconveniente que tengo es que es en inglés ,sus juegos son buenos igual que la trama y los personajes pero todos están en inglés y coreano y aún así los trato de entender aunque no entiendo mucho el inglés 😔 ### 3/5 — PTW *2024-03-16, version 1.1.4* Its literally pay to win lol no thanks. All of the good options need gems and gems r literally hard to get. You have to watch an ad for 5 gems only every 12 mins? And you’re telling me a damn dress that i need is 450?? No thanks lol ### 5/5 — I like it. *2024-03-03* It’s an overall ok and underrated game, i play it when I run out of AP in obey me ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2025-11-20* The plot was good and the art style was pretty but you have to pay for everything. ### 1/5 — Poo *2025-06-19* This game has INSANELY cute art but of course it has to be one of the most boring things I’ve ever laid my eyes upon. Maybe it gets better later in the story but I could hardly sit through the first episode without getting insanely bored and confused. Like you’re first making out with some merman and then next second your apparently just back in your hometown and then you’re getting thrown in the water by a random stranger??? Very hard to follow and not to mention how little there is to do?? I’m not sure if this is just because I didn’t explore the game that much or whatever but from a first glance you can only walk, read, and change your outfit. It just entirely seems boring and like a waste of your time. If you want a good romance game then.. heh… maybe check out obey me…! Heh… just a suggestion though.. yk.. pretty peak… maybe even watch a bit of Yuri on ice… idk tho.. ### 1/5 — Ad Removal doesn’t work *2024-09-01, version 1.2.0* Ad removal doesn’t work and this game is littered with ads 0/10 ### 1/5 — Don’t get this game *2024-08-03* I paid for some gems and I didn’t receive it. Please either give me the gems or a refund. I spend 5.99 for it and I don’t want it to just be taken from me. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2024-05-10, version 1.1.4* I can’t open the game ### 1/5 — Sad, pay to play *2024-01-12* You can't get ANY of the endings except for the basic "player ending" unless you pay for things. I went without paying for anything, and wasn't able to get any of the good endings. and it not even a matter of "the game makers need money!" there was an add every other second. You want more then one gem? Pay, or watch a add. Its stupid, and not enjoyable to play at all. ### 1/5 — It’s game is bad and the story is bad and the gems are unfairly given out *2024-01-11, version 1.1.4* The gems are way too hard to get, and the outfits you have to buy are wayyy to expensive, same with the special choices. I suggest that you make the adds give you at least 10 gems and a less waiting time. You could also make the outfits and choices less expensive. Also Arcana Twilight is the best game you guys have ### 1/5 — IN APP PURCHASE *2023-10-24* i purchased something in app but it never showed up even though the purchase went through. i went to setting to press restore purchases but that didn’t work either. ### 2/5 — expensive *2025-05-25, version 1.2.1* great game with great graphics and story. Downside is that everything is too overpriced, you can barely afford anything and the gems you get are very low, basically pay to win. i hope you put more options to earn gems rather than watching a ad for only 5 gems. ### 2/5 — A slight issue *2024-01-13* Okay so I play Aqua Romance kinda on the side. I don’t prioritize it like most, usually just coming back to watch ads for gems and talk a walk. However, now everytime I try to watch an ad for anything it says “You’ve watched all the ads you can today.” or something similar. It’s significantly slowly my progress, and I’m starting to consider deleting the app entirely. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 헷 *2026-01-28, version 1.3.1* 아직 별로 안 했지만 재미있는 듯.잘생겼음요 ### 5/5 — I love this game *2025-10-11* I love this game but it kicks me out a lot but it’s till fun anyways but I hope that they can fix the bugs ### 5/5 — Love it but Gems are so Hard to get *2025-09-22, version 1.2.2* I downloaded this game a before yesterday, and I am absolutely in love!!! I LOVE Arthur so much I LOVE HIMM, but one problem I did notice is that gems are so hard to get😭 like you only get 1 per episode (5 if you watch an add), you can watch an add every 10-17minutes to get 5 gems, and I think you can get from walking. Other than that you either have to wait for one of the characters birthdays or spend money, which is a pain for a free to play player😭😭 that was my experience so far as a new player, and other than that I really like this game and hope to see more games like this in the future! Plus I love the art style.❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Underrated and I love Arthur *2025-07-11* Im ashamed but I spent like $30 on this game to rizz up Arthur but it was worth it cuz I married him- Wish this game was more popular so there’d be fanart of him but he looks similar to Kazuha from Genshin so that’s good enough, I guess.. Other than that, game was cute. Loved the art, plot was kinda boring ### 5/5 — Шикарно *2025-06-26, version 1.2.1* Много рекламы, но это классика жанра, спасибо за влв🌹🌹 ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2025-06-24, version 1.2.1* 재밌게 하고있어요❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — 안녕하세용!해명 글 입니당 *2025-04-23, version 1.2.1* Hi~!전 지금도 미국에서 살고있는 그냥 평범한 유저입니다.전 게임을 깔대 리뷰를 보고 까는 습관이 있습니다.근데 둘러보는데 좋은 리뷰중에 아이패드론 안된다는 소리가 있었습니다.그래서 제가 아이패드를 구매해서 직접 이 게임을 깔아서 해봤습니다.근데 넘 나도 잘되고.스토리도 접속도 다 그대로입니다!아마도 오류가 있었을것같네요. ### 5/5 — 은결이가 맛있어요 *2025-01-06, version 1.2.0* 계속 잼이 필요한건 킹받지만 은결이가 잘생겨서 계속 하게됌미다,, ### 5/5 — Zesty *2024-07-13* I honestly love gay men ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS💙💙💙💙 *2024-05-24, version 1.1.4* This game is literally so good. Like how can one game be so good?!5 stars!!!!!Whoever is reading this, PLAY THIS GAME. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
