Kinda the only mobile game I play

The games not bad it’s just the gambling😭

Great story and voice acting

Love the gameplay but gacha rates are pretty low compared to others I’ve played

Not a fan of the new gacha setup

Love the game. Great characters, voice acting, and art. The stories are cute. The gacha system has changed a bit and it’s very hard to get new characters without spending lots of money. Dropping my rating because of this. I feel stuck without having new characters to build up.

Game dead

Game has said it's been under maintenance for 5 days now, can't login or play. Can't submit a support ticket either.

Update: contacted support and they said the game is not supported in Canada, despite having played for over a year and my friend playing next to me.
