### 3/5 — Framerate Capped in Combat

*2022-05-15, version 1.0.16*

I’ve purchased this game on 3 different systems now because I’m such a fan, but I have to say that I’m disappointed with the performance in combat in the iOS version.

It’s almost as if the combat is capped at 30fps only in combat, despite the world map and exploitable/dungeon areas all being butter smooth.

I’m accustomed to the difference between 60fps and 30fps, and I’m also running the game on a brand new iPhone 13, so it looks to be an unforeseen compatibility issue.

Just a suggestion to the devs: Maybe a new build with the newest Unity update would fix compatibility with the new iPhones?

Hoping this gets looked into so iPhone 13 users can all enjoy the game’s combat as it’s meant to be played.

Other than the framerate issue (which is pretty major because combat is a huge part of the game), this seems like a great port.

### 3/5 — 移動と戦闘がもっさりしている

*2022-02-27, version 1.0.16*

頼むからオプションで倍速モードをつけて欲しい。
移動と戦闘の動作がゆっくり過ぎてテンポが悪過ぎる。
セールの120円で買えたから許せる範囲だけどフルプライスで買った人は可哀想。
ゲームのシステムは王道のRPGで面白いと思うよ。

### 4/5 — Almost great

*2020-08-18, version 1.0.16*

There is much to like about this game. The combat is deep and challenging, and thanks to the overcharge system really encourages not just pressing the attack button over and over. The aesthetics and world building are some of the best I’ve seen in a mobile RPG.

Still, it’s so much like classic Final Fantasy games that it has some weaknesses in common. I constantly have to worry about running out of potions mid-dungeon. The frequent minor battles become tedious. I have no incentive to change the party. And worst of all, the story is rather cliche. Guess what? A dark lord is resurrecting, and you need to find artifacts to stop him!

Ultimately it wasn’t for me, but if you like retro JRPGs this is a good one.

### 3/5 — A fun, stylistic rpg that crashes too often

*2020-08-02, version 1.0.16*

The frequent crashes are killing this game for me. I have 9.7 inch ipad pro and I play the game at 50% graphic quality. The game has been crashing every 15 to 20 minutes, and seems to be more frequent now that I’m around level 17 in the game. I want to see what else it has to offer, but getting progress wiped out and having to reload so often has sapped my enthusiasm. I hope the developers step up and fix these issues, because this game could be legendary.

### 3/5 — It ok

*2020-07-21, version 1.0.16*

I got pretty far, past the point where I was annihilating everything, but didn’t finish this game. The artwork and music is beautiful, far beyond 90% of games in App Store. The theme is dark and gritty, which I love. But the battle mechanics just got too tedious. So much burst damage negate the majority of tactics. I fell into a rut of Gilly taunt, garrison war blade and alumon heal. Every other option was inferior to this. There are way too many abilities. Would have grit my teeth and powered through but when warblade got pushed to second page by new useless abilities (and there is no way to rearrange them ARE YOU F KIDDING ME!!), the fights became infuriating and I could not continue. I’ll check back in a year and see if these issues have been addressed.

### 4/5 — Love this game

*2020-07-14, version 1.0.16*

This is a great game. Great for long sessions or a pick up and go to kill time. Only thing I wish it had was game sync between devices. Play mostly on my iPad but when I am on the go would like to resume my game on my iPhone. Would love controller support to but really not a big deal, should be fairly easy to add since they have this on consoles as well.

### 3/5 — 面白いがストレス溜まる

*2020-06-21, version 1.0.16*

3周しました。
伝説装備も全て揃え、ボーナススキルもカンストさせました。

おすすめパーティーは
1週目はギャリソン、アルモン、ガリィ(かモニカ)がバランスがいいです。

2週目以降、ボーナススキルが高まってくると、ノランが最強格になりますので、ギャリソン、ノラン、アルモンの組み合わせが、攻撃、防御、回復、バフ、デバフ、戦闘後回復までこなすため、最も安定します。

カリブレットは中盤以降、攻撃力が低すぎて使いません。アルモンかノランと交代させましょう。

全ステージを通じて難易度が高いのですが、これは武器防具の魔法ありきのバランスになっているためです。
魔法を使わなければ、LvMAX伝説装備でも普通に苦戦し、簡単に死にます。

ゲームの総評ですが、ストーリーやシステムは面白いと思います。が、
結論からいうとストレス溜まります。
戦闘、移動、全て時間がかかりすぎ。
LvMAX、ボーナススキルMAX、伝説装備までしても、サクサク進めることはできません。

キャラも戦闘に参加しているキャラ以外は、経験値入りません。

お金を貯めるのも時間かかります。

回復薬高過ぎて、終盤まで買えません。

主人公チームの防御力と体力が低すぎて、一撃死はしょっちゅうです。

緊迫感を演出するためなのでしょうか、
不親切な作りのため、無駄な時間を沢山過ごすことになります。

ストーリーも中盤から終盤まで面白いですが、ラスト(エンディング)でまたストレス溜まります笑

1周50時間くらいのボリュームですが、
尺を伸ばしているだけに感じられます。
移動と戦闘がスムーズなら、20時間くらいの内容です。

2週目以降はこれまで獲得したボーナススキルと伝説武器を引き継げます。
Lvは1に戻ります。
初っ端から伝説装備で挑めますが、弱いです笑
ビックリするぐらい伝説装備が弱いです。

### 3/5 — READ BEFORE PURCHASE! Honest review

*2020-06-03, version 1.0.16*

So far I’ve put about 10 hours of gameplay into this game and I must say, what an amazing game. From the visuals, to the story, to the soundtracks, to the depth of combat and satisfying touch system. It truly is a masterpiece of a game. HOWEVER!, there’s a game crippling, non-stop crash that occurs every 30-45 minutes. Where the game black screens and force closes the app resulting in reloading app constantly and having to replay portions of areas. It renders the game nearly unplayable. I’ve tried powering through and replaying lost progress crash after crash, but after reaching dungeon 2 the game refuses to enter and continuously crashes. Im playing on a high end apple device with plenty of storage available and have reduced the game quality to 50% for that’s the only mention from a developer on a potential fix, unfortunately none of that matters. Until a legitimate patch fixes this issue do not waste your money. Sincerely, a proud gamer since 1995.

**Developer response:** Hey there,
and sorry for the trouble. Which device are you using to play the game? The problem is rather the RAM and not the storage, and sadly even higher end apple devices sometimes have only 2GB of RAM.
Kind regards,
HG-Support

### 3/5 — Great game, would be 5 stars if not for tech issues

*2020-05-29, version 1.0.16*

Update to my review since developer took the time to respond to me. The game is fantastic, only the technical issues with crashing keep my score to 3 stars. I didn’t experience the game crashing until about 14 hours in, specifically in the deadwatch dungeon, but it kept crashing during battles. Very frustrating. Very fun game aside from that. If the tech issues get fixed I’ll look forward to completing the game.

### 3/5 — Buggy Adaptation of a Stellar Game

*2020-01-03, version 1.0.16*

My old review was (apparently) removed, but my opinion remains unchanged: this is a buggy port of an otherwise excellent game. It crashes about once every three hours, and some glitches persist, even after updates. Items will sometimes disappear upon loading a game, and other times items at replaced or duplicated. (e.g. Red's starting pistols replaced my reward from the Everton the Red side quest upon load.) There's a great game underneath it all, if you can stomach the glitches, so I give it 3/5 for that.

### 3/5 — Almost perfect!

*2019-12-01, version 1.0.16*

Love this game. Solid turn-based strategy game. It is almost perfect but it still needs a bit of work. This latest fix to allow the game to run on machines with less RAM is a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, even with turning down the graphics, the game still crashes A LOT. I’m glad I can now play it on my iPad, but it still crashes all of the time. Hopefully another update will resolve the issue altogether.

### 3/5 — Fun game, constant crashes

*2019-11-18, version 1.0.15*

Title speaks for itself.  I really like the characters and the feeling of an animated adventure narrative, but it crashes every 30 seconds to 2 minutes.  I should really be giving it two stars, but the animation is cool, and I really want to like it more. Seems like a lot of fun if I could play it.  Hopefully the game developers can patch the bug(s).  If they do, I’m pretty confident this game will earn five stars from me.

### 4/5 — 書き直し

*2019-11-10, version 1.0.15*

付け足し　少し電池の減りが強い気がします
機種によって違うだろうし　新品なら減りは少ないでしょう

使ってるのはios13.2.2でiPhone8です
最初はiPadでやってましたが即落ちばかりで
セーブしながらチマチマして行く感じで
金出してストレスゲーかよと思いました
iPhoneでやり直した結果
今のところ落ちるような事は無く
スムーズに出来てます
難点なのは文字が小さいって事かな標識やらの
です
星4はお金を出して取ったアプリなのでもう少し改良して欲しい自分は文字の件くらいですかね今のところ　後は他の意見も取り入れて改善してくれると有り難いです

### 3/5 — Great Game but ALWAYS Crashing

*2019-11-03, version 1.0.14*

The devs paid attention to all the right details. They really nailed a tight, fun, game. The story, characters, and battle system all have a unique style that comes together to make a great game. On my 5th gen iPad, this game crashes all the time in dungeons. My progress gets reset to the last save, and I lose whatever loot I’ve gotten. It’s getting frustrating. If you’re considering this game, wait until the devs post some stability fixes. Then, buy it!

### 4/5 — Good game, but keeps crashing ipad

*2019-10-24, version 1.0.14*

I enjoyed 16 hours so far, however the game keeps exiting frequently that it's unplayable.

Also, this game doesn't work without internet connection, which is also a downside. Will revisit when these get fixed

Edit: developer fixed crashing issue, now needs offline mode.

### 5/5 — Superb art style!

*2019-09-22, version 1.0.13*

This game is an absolute marvel to look at. Fluid animation and clean art make for great atmospheric gameplay. I hate to be one of those people who say they never review, but I am one and will own up to it. This game deserves mention. 
For me it was worth the cover price for the artistry alone. The gameplay so far isn't deep, but that's not really the point either. It's the immersive nature of the art mixed with turn based combat that feels good in that old school kind of way.
I'd say if your a fan of a anime/blizzard art style and enjoy RPGs, there should be no question what you should be doing now.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — frequently crashed.

*2020-07-24, version 1.0.16*

The game has a bug that it goes down many times. When it happens while I'm in a dungeon, I have to restart from the beginning even if it's the timing of just beating an area boss taking 30 mins! It's so frustrating!!

### 1/5 — This Game Has A Terrible Bug

*2019-08-19, version 1.0.7*

Twice now this game has changed a higher level item I’ve crafted into the previous item I was wearing.  The first time it changed a level 27 Purple chest into the level 24 blue chest I was previously wearing.  The second time it changed a legendary sword into the purple one I was using previously.  The chest didn’t bother me as much as it was easy to make another one, the legendary sword however cannot be made again because of the one off materials.  This is very upsetting.

### 1/5 — Battle Collapser

*2019-08-11, version 1.0.6*

What a major disappointment for an expensive self contained game. The graphics and plot harken back to old rpg that I love. The game starts out fantastically and game play moves along. The further you progress in the game the greater the problems and glitches. The game freezes, it blanks out all together and often loses any gains you have made in the quest. Now upon reaching Junktown, the game refuses to allow entry into the dungeon and if you do get in after 5 tries, the moving to a new chamber results in blinking out to the main screen of my iPad, not even the game. It was a great idea but the execution stinks. Save your money and go elsewhere for a game that works.

### 1/5 — おい

*2019-07-31, version 1.0.5*

iPadpro第三世代で開けないってどういうこと！？
メモリが足りないってアホかよ！？
そんなわけないだろ

### 2/5 — Good game but...

*2020-04-25, version 1.0.16*

This is a very good game well worth the price. Great graphics, good storyline. This isn’t your typical RPG with random battles you walk around on a map with set paths that will branch off to other paths. You can craft weapons and armor and they are plenty of side quest. Great game overall  it my only complaint is that the app is always closing out by itself. I using an iPad gen 5 with the lastest iOS update. And from what I can see more people have run into this issue on the phone as well. For as long as this game has been out this should not still be an issue. Please fix this issue because I really do enjoy the game but I can’t play it long enough without it randomly closing down

### 2/5 — アイテムが消える(よく落ちるのは修正された)

*2019-11-03, version 1.0.14*

落ちるのが修正されたみたいなので久しぶりにプレイしました。
2時間後、レアな装備が消えたのでアンインストールしました。
多分修正はされないので装備が消えても良い人はプレイしてみてはどうでしょうか

### 2/5 — Bought something at ‘The Collector’ and got robbed!

*2019-08-20, version 1.0.7*

I went to the collector with a descent amount of artifacts; enough to buy the 14$ and 8$ fish and tackle and at first they showed up in my inventory. I was thrilled because I want to fish to find more artifacts to get good equipment. Then, I go to equip them both and only the tackle is equip-able and the fishing rod I paid 14$artifacts for is suddenly gone... It would be nice of the developers to help a brotha out cause I hustle for the artifacts and before that happened, I was going to give this game 5 stars. Please be good to your customers that pay for your games 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Sincerely a fan, 
                                                            Dorian

### 2/5 — Crashes all the time!!!

*2019-08-18, version 1.0.7*

I rarely write reviews, but when you pay $10 for a game that constantly crashes, I feel obligated to warn others. First, I really like the game. The art, story, and gameplay is deep. However, the game is constantly crashing on my iPad Pro. I have closed all apps and rebooted, but it doesn’t help. I have reached out to the devs for support. We’ll see if they get back to me.  If they can fix this, the game is an easy 5 stars (and I’ll update my review).  If not, I want my money back because this is just a defective product in its current state.

### 2/5 — とにかくゆっくり

*2019-08-11, version 1.0.6*

移動もバトルも、あまりにもゆったりしすぎ。
倍速モードが欲しい。
バトルシステムは特に面白いわけでもないので、これほど遅いと余計に辛い。

未クリアーなので何とも言えないが、コンテンツの少なさをゲーム速度で誤魔化しているんじゃあ？
ど、勘ぐってしまう。

### 3/5 — 過去ログまんま

*2024-01-01, version 1.0.16*

落ちる、バグetc
なんにも直ってない。
ゲーム自体は良作なのに、
何故改善しないのか…。
セールで良かった。

### 5/5 — High Quality JRPG

*2022-04-03, version 1.0.16*

I bought this game for US$0.99 and I believe it was a steal. I have sunk around 60 hrs in the game and I’m still having a great time with it. It is worth every cent; I was searching for a game like this for long in the app store. Glad I found it! 

If you are into Final Fantasy-kind of RPGs, this is for you.

### 5/5 — Game braking bug!

*2021-03-04, version 1.0.16*

Have it for pc, decided to get it for me phone. Love it until will walking on the map characters got stuck in a chest and will not walk anywhere no matter where I tap. Plus the chest is un attainable. Completely broke the game and is unplayable. Sad to say was having lots of fun. Just needed to reload a few times to fix.

### 5/5 — Just Get it

*2020-10-14, version 1.0.16*

I don’t know why I bought this game, I think I was just a little bored. I play a lot of games and on pretty much everything at some point. This game has absolutely impressed today. It makes any other five star games are given seem like I made a mistake. Worth every penny. I knew nothing about this game and it has impressed me constantly without fail so far.

### 5/5 — Beautiful!!

*2020-08-06, version 1.0.16*

Just came across the game today while looking for a deep game that doesn’t require iap’s and doesn’t flood you with apps. 
This game is simply amazing and well worth the $10 price tag. 
Graphics are excellent for a mobile game. Seems to have a deep story as well as thoughtful direction and great voice acting. 
Hard to find on most games. 
I do not have any problems with the game crashing as I am playing on an iPhone 8 Plus.

### 5/5 — Fantastic JRPG

*2020-05-11, version 1.0.16*

Stumbled across this game on accident, while it was on sale no less. Now that I’m involved for a number of hours and know what’s what with it, I would’ve paid way more. Top tier game. Already have like 25 hours invested and I don’t think I’m even halfway in. If you’re looking for something from this genre you won’t be disappointed. Really hope there’s a “2” somewhere on the horizon.

### 5/5 — 良作のJRPG

*2020-03-22, version 1.0.16*

AppStoreにある高額なRPGの代表といえばドラクエやファイナルファンタジーですが、このゲームも全く遜色ないものだと思います。歯応えある戦闘やダンジョンの探索が楽しくて久々に夢中になってプレイしたゲームです。
メインのダンジョンは8つあって、それぞれ2, 3時間はかかります。サブダンジョン、フィールドの探索、サブクエストなどをこなしていくと50時間以上かかります。

JRPGをリスペクトして作られただけあって、日本語ボイスも収録されていたりします。翻訳に違和感のあるところはほとんど無かったですが、一つだけ、宿屋の選択肢の”rest”が
｢休息｣でなく｢残り｣と誤訳されているのは気をつけましょう。

ちょこっとアドバイス: 
ダンジョン内の敵とエンカウントするときは一匹ずつ釣りだしてからエンカウントすると、戦闘も一匹ずつになるので楽になります。

2週目に入るときはアイテムの持ち越しは出来ないと言われますが、最強武器だけは持ち越しできます。最強武器はサブクエストをこなした上で手に入りますが、アイテム持ち越しというよりもサブクエストの進捗状況の持ち越しという扱いになっているのかもしれません。

### 5/5 — Great expect for crashing

*2019-11-30, version 1.0.16*

The port is almost like the original great game, but with the iCloud patch, I can’t advance with the crashing at the end of the boss fight. Could you please release a patch to fix the 2GB device crash rate so I can play reliably?

Thank you so much. This update is the best thing to happen on Black Friday

### 5/5 — バグ報告と修正希望

*2019-11-07, version 1.0.15*

とても楽しいのですがアップデート後にバグを見つけましたので報告したいと思います。

フィールドマップの敵と戦闘が終了してリザルトを受け取ってフィールドマップ戻ろうとするとアプリが強制終了して先に進めません

素晴らしいゲームなので修正よろしくお願いします

機種はiPhone7
ios12.41です

### 5/5 — Super fun for people who aren’t heavy on gaming

*2019-10-03, version 1.0.13*

I cannot believe this game only has 4 stars. BattleChasers is amazing! I don’t really consider myself a gamer since I’ve only played about 10 turned based RPGs over 15 years with many years-long breaks. Recently I decided to try a mobile turn based RPG and it took me a long time to find the one that really fits what I was looking for. BattleChasers has really good graphics; you get to choose your own team and difficulty level for each dungeon. I’m only level 12 but I’m addicted to this game already!!

### 5/5 — A must have game for those RPG lovers!!!!

*2019-09-27, version 1.0.13*

Seriously this game is amazing, I don’t have words with how happy I am that I made a purchase on a game that does NOT drain cash from me. AND the game does NOT disappoint on it story line and battle mechanics, this is the best game app I have ever in the history of having an iPhone (since owning an iPhone 4) played. 

If I had any criticism at all about the game, I just wish moving around would be just a tad faster. As for the movement it feels a bit sluggish to me, otherwise if I could give this game 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would.
😆🤩😆🤩😆🤩😆🤩😆😆🤩
