And no rewards. Second day nothing… is a great game but bored…. ### 3/5 — Moderately interesting though the fixed position is frustrating. *2025-10-05, version 1.2.100* It’s somewhat like Genshin with much less flexibility and uninteresting combat mechanics. The story is original and interesting which adds to the rest if it is compelling enough to want to play for a while. ### 3/5 — Oyun içi donma *2025-09-30, version 1.2.100* Oyunda menüde dolaşırken arada donuyor kalıyor gir çık yapınca düzeliyor sinir bozucu bir durum ### 2/5 — Crashes all the time *2025-09-25, version 1.2.100* The game would be good if it didn’t crash all the time I can’t even get threw 1-7 episodes it crashes an doesn’t save your progress so you have to start again now it won’t let me get threw 1-7 episode at all poor management of game ive lost money on game cause I can not play it anymore ### 3/5 — Game sih bagus tapi bug belum di fix *2025-09-22, version 1.2.100* The game is good but the freeze bug hasn't been fixed even though it's fun to play eh suddenly freez and comes out by itself even though I'm using ip 13 ### 2/5 — Controller support needed *2025-09-04, version 1.2.100* Honestly this game really needs the option for a controller ### 2/5 — Pls fix *2025-09-02, version 1.2.100* Hello, I really enjoy playing Black Beacon, but I have an issue that makes it difficult for me to play. I can only access the game by using a VPN, and sometimes the connection still lags or disconnects even with VPN on. I think this might be because the game servers do not fully support players in the Middle East region. Could you please look into this issue or consider improving the server support for this region? Thank you for your help and for making such a great game! ### 5/5 — นูน *2025-09-02, version 1.2.100* สนุกนะ แต่ตัวละครยังน้อย น่าจะเพราะเปิดใหม่ แล้วก็ถ้าทำโฆษณาโปรโมทมากว่านี้อาจจะมีคนสนใจก็ได้ จากที่ดูกระแสตอนนี้เกมนี้เงียบมากแทบไม่เห็นโฆษณาเลย ### 4/5 — Cảm nhận cá nhân *2025-09-01, version 1.2.100* Cảm ơn app store đã giới thiệu, mê khi thấy Li Chi tải ngay khi thấy anh. Cảm giác đồ họa game giao diện giống r1999 với arknights, nhân vật na ná wuwa pha với genshin, lối chơi khá hợp gu tui giống love and deepspace. Điểm không thích và hơi lo chắc là nghe nói game bị bỏ bê vài tháng thì phải, với đồ họa bật max cũng hơi mờ nhưng còn lại là ưng vô cùng, cốt truyện, char des, lối chơi, đặc biệt cục cưng Li Chi nhưng mà ko bik do máy yếu hay sao mà có vài lần bị lag và văng ra, nóng máy nữa, đồ họa hơi bị mờ tí. Nói chung là game hiện tại đang nghiện mong nhà làm game sẽ có nhiều cập nhật hơn đặc biệt cập nhật thêm skin và nhân vật nhé!! 😍🥰😘 ### 2/5 — 能救一個是一個 *2025-08-21, version 1.2.100* 製作組人去樓空，勸想要丟錢的至少先收手觀望。 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-08-19, version 1.2.100* I don’t normally play gacha games, but this one is pretty unique from the art style, atmosphere, great story, etc. Gameplay is fun and I don’t feel forced to spend any money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ruined *2025-11-02, version 1.2.100* Play on Global server to the end of content and today open the game just to get an pop up says "The game is not available in your region". I can just use VPN, but that's not the point. Like this game have enough players, and here, blocking more users. Just look at PUBG New State, it's forgotten, just because of region locked. Clearly it's time to say goodbye. Ruined. ### 1/5 — Japanese language speaking is better *2025-10-15, version 1.2.100* So much downloading and loading, made in China? ### 1/5 — เกมหัวควย *2025-10-01, version 1.2.100* เกมกาชาหัวควยเกลือจัด ### 1/5 — Wishing *2025-09-22, version 1.2.100* When I did a 10 pull it showed what I got but when I saw the “click anywhere to continue” I click it to continue and nothing happened and it stay there and it act like it frozen 💀 please fix this ### 1/5 — saya *2025-09-21, version 1.2.100* nge bugg mulu anj ### 1/5 — Hay bị lag game không tương tác được *2025-09-16, version 1.2.100* Tối ưu hoá kém ### 1/5 — Crashes and screen Freeze *2025-09-13, version 1.2.100* I've uninstalled and installed the game 5 times and it does the same, I can be on any screen and it just freezes and I can't click on anything and I have to close the app. I can't keep doing this. I am on the iOS 26.0. when this is fixed I'll come back but for now. The game is unplayable ### 1/5 — K vào được *2025-08-03, version 1.2.100* IOS bị đen màn hình, k vào game được ### 1/5 — Pitiful *2025-07-10, version 1.1.90* Bad gacha game ### 1/5 — Favouritism towards CN *2025-06-21, version 1.1.90* Avoid this gacha at ALL costs. devs don’t care about global and will continue to disrespect the global player base. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Luv game. New update jun 6 2025 shut down 3 X *2025-11-07, version 1.2.100* Keep shutting down on I pad *** I will not spend any money until the game works correctly *** another game that keeps shutting down 11 26 25 ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-10-30, version 1.2.100* Great Combat, game mechanics, and is optimized for slow end devices I like it! ### 5/5 — Boredom buster *2025-10-08, version 1.2.100* I have been playing this game since download and I found that it’s unique form other rpg/gacha games I’ve played it’s like I’m in a show With how good the story is people need to play this!! ### 5/5 — Amazing game! With some complaints ofc. *2025-10-06, version 1.2.100* This is one of many games that are my favorite. Just by starting, its friendly. Gives rewards like around 20 pulls (can’t remember) and has guarantee pity system within the pulling range. 1x free pull daily and has beautiful characters. Story and Fighting systems is amazing, but still laggy and hard to handle on my end. It did get better though. I remember that when I first downloaded it when it came out, it became almost impossible for my phone to handle a single fight/story (starting chapter). Energy-wise is too little so I can't play much (with deep sadness). Although my pre-reg account is gone now, my new account has become my new hope for this game. Buuuut I’m f2p so I won’t be supporting this game much financial wise. Happy to start anew and hope they’ll tone down the animation of the world cause my phone can’t handle such graphics. Also hope they’ll rise again to have many more players. Edit 1: Screw the gacha rates!!! The story is even better! Gosh my heart flutters every time the story is written so well. Enemies are smarter than us, while we are just smart to get by. Honestly, feels like odds are stacked against me in this story. I’m hoping there’s a good ending to this arc. Chapter 5 rn! Edit 2: I NEED MOOOOORRRRREEE ENERGGGGGYYYYYY!!!! Also, Chapter 6 and lvl 40!!! Had a bit of trouble with the boss from all that lag and kick outs so that stopped my progress. Only been a week and a few days. I’m progressing fast 🔥🔥🔥 ### 5/5 — Stages *2025-10-05, version 1.2.100* During certain stages the game will bug out, forcing you to close the app. Please fix. ### 5/5 — The best game if it wasn’t for greed *2025-10-04, version 1.2.100* I’ve been playing this game since its release. I’ve loved, love and will love it. I go to it every day, I’ve run out of content for a long time, but I’m going because the game is really high quality. I’m really looking forward to a new update and I advise everyone to try it, maybe you’ll like it too ### 5/5 — Amazing game!

Whatever bugs we're causing issues seen to be gone. First game I've played for more than a few days since I started Reverse: 1999 1.5 years ago. ### 5/5 — Has potential *2025-09-03, version 1.2.100* I deleted the game because I couldn’t get the character i want even with the rate up 70% haha. But the game is good, nice graphic and all, keep up your good work guys --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
