But not as a subscription. **Developer response:** Hi WattWillste! 💛 We're so glad to hear that you enjoy the game! Your willingness to pay a one-time fee instead of a subscription is valuable feedback, and we truly appreciate your thoughts. Just so you know, the game is part of the Game Vault collection, which is available to Mega and Ultimate Fan members, and there’s a 7-day free trial for new users to explore. We hope you continue to have fun playing and enjoy all the adventures ahead! ### 2/5 — Subscription to play *2025-12-30* I’m not buying a subscription to play any game let alone a mobile game. Just make it a one time purchase. Making it a subscription just shows you don’t care for your players and just want more money. But hey just send me your copy and pasted response about how you offer a 7 day trail and ignore this review, not like you will do anything to improve anyways as long as you keep getting profits. **Developer response:** Hi Certified game hater! 💛 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subscription model. I completely understand that a one-time purchase option would be more appealing for you, and your perspective is truly valued. Just to let you know, our game is part of the Game Vault collection, which is available to Mega and Ultimate Fan members, and we do offer a 7-day free trial for new users. Your feedback is important to us, and we’re always looking to improve based on what our players want. Thanks again for reaching out! ### 1/5 — Never *2025-12-21, version 1.0.1* Just sell the game for a one time fee. I’m not paying you every month ### 1/5 — Subscription-based? Nope *2025-12-14* Would have paid a one time cost, but not this subscription stuff. **Developer response:** Hi Dr. Curilla! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subscription model.

I’ll never do anything but complain about crunchy roll the company if anyone ever asks me about it. Well done, idiots. ### 1/5 — Let me just buy it. *2025-11-24* Let me just buy it. **Developer response:** Hi MasonHastie! 💛 It’s wonderful to see your enthusiasm for a straightforward purchase option, and we truly appreciate your passion for anime and games!

Not one cent for subscriptions. ### 1/5 — Without login to crunchychyroll, cant play *2026-02-17, version 1.0.1* Dont recommend ### 1/5 — Misleading price *2026-01-13* Game on appstore advertises the game as being free, then it’s required to own a subscription just to play it, What if I don’t *Care* for tbe other games? can a consumer not just buy 1 game at a time? its on mobile for christ sake. do you not realize howmany subscriptions people are already paying for? ### 1/5 — Misleading payment *2026-01-05, version 1.0.1* Requires $12/month sub to access. Just charge a flat fee. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Parabéns aos devs da música, da movimentação e do cenário ai pq ficou incrível. *2026-08-06* Agradeço por todos os momentos q esse jogo me distraiu e me fez superar as dificuldades!! **Developer response:** Olá! É gratificante saber que o jogo trouxe momentos tão positivos e ajudou em sua jornada! Agradecemos muito pelo seu feedback e reconhecimento ao trabalho da nossa equipe. Estamos felizes em fazer parte da sua experiência e esperamos que continue aproveitando cada momento! 💛 ### 5/5 — I can’t even *2026-07-24* I can’t even fathom how other reviewers get out of bed in the morning with so few brain cells. You see a game saying “Crunchyroll:” and your response is to 1 star an otherwise great game because it requires a Crunchyroll subscription..??? Do you do the same thing when you try to download Android games and screech that they won’t work on your iPhone? You can’t possibly all be that stupid. I’m giving this game 5 stars for keeping itself out of the hands of dumbdumbs, on principle. The devs are doing you all a favour; you’d probably all start playing and forget to continue breathing because your single collective braincell would get distracted. **Developer response:** Hi there! We appreciate your passionate support for the game. We understand your perspective on the subscription model, and it’s great to see your enthusiasm shine through! Just a reminder, the game is part of the Game Vault, available to Mega and Ultimate Fan members. Thank you for being a part of our community! 💛 ### 5/5 — Best Crunchyroll game *2026-06-23, version 1.0.1* Very nice game, the graphics are really adorable and overall game is great to play ### 5/5 — Great port from PC *2026-04-13* Device: 2018 iPad Pro This is a rated Overwhelmingly Positive game on Steam (PC). Glad to see it being ported to mobile. I downloaded this through my Crunchyroll subscription, and haven’t encountered any glitches or bugs so far. The touch controls are well implemented. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We appreciate your support and are so glad to hear that you're enjoying the smooth gameplay and well-implemented touch controls. Your enthusiasm for the game truly resonates with us! 💛 If you have any more thoughts or feedback, feel free to share. Happy gaming! ### 5/5 — No hate *2026-04-04* Pls make free I like this game a lot and I can’t afford Crunchyroll **Developer response:** Hi there! We appreciate your love for the game! 💛 I understand that the subscription can be a concern. Just so you know, the game is part of the Game Vault, which is available to Mega and Ultimate Fan members. Your passion for gaming truly shines through, and I hope you continue to enjoy the experience! If you have any more thoughts or feedback, feel free to share! ### 5/5 — The low ratings are because of Crunchyroll *2026-02-27* I’ve played a good bit of this game on console and it’s amazing! You can feel the love that the devs put into the game and they seem to have mastered the ingredients for a stellar roguelike! I can’t provide a good game for comparison because they really broke the mold, or rather improved on it. The sheer variety of characters, abilities, relics, and more put this game in my top 5 of roguelikes **Developer response:** Hi there! It's fantastic to hear how much you appreciate the game's unique elements and the effort that went into its development! Your enthusiasm for the variety of characters and abilities truly highlights what makes it stand out in the roguelike genre. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! 💛 ### 5/5 — Haters be hating *2026-02-24* Im not sure they tripped on this fantastic rogue, please make another one like this ### 5/5 — A Great Game *2026-01-23* Ignored the low ratings—most are just complaining about the Crunchyroll subscription requirement. While the subscription is necessary, the game itself is a 5/5 masterpiece. Why you should play: • Unique Combat: Fights happen on a 1D horizontal track. It’s all about spacing, turning, and queuing attacks. • Tactical Depth: It feels like a mix of a deckbuilder and a puzzle game. You have to manage cooldowns and predict enemy moves (similar to Souls-like pattern learning). • Progression: Great roguelite mechanics with persistent unlocks (skulls) and new characters that change how you play. • Aesthetics: Beautiful Japanese-inspired pixel art. If you have Crunchyroll, downloading this is a no-brainer. **Developer response:** Hi there! 💛 It's fantastic to see you appreciate the unique mechanics and aesthetics of the game! Your insights on the combat and progression elements are spot on, and we're grateful for the enthusiastic recommendation. If you have any friends who enjoy anime and games, feel free to share your love for it! Happy gaming! 🎮✨ ### 5/5 — Best game rn *2026-01-05* Super fun game since I have Crunchyroll, unfortunate other people can’t play it but by no means should it be rated low **Developer response:** Hi there! 💛 It's wonderful to know you're enjoying the game and finding it super fun! Your positive perspective truly brightens our day, and we appreciate your support and understanding regarding its availability. Keep enjoying your adventure! If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to share. Happy gaming! ### 5/5 — Muito booom *2025-11-26* E como se fosse um xadrez 2 kk muito bom !! **Developer response:** Olá, anauel 1111! 💛 Ficamos muito felizes em saber que você está desfrutando do nosso jogo e apreciando a jogabilidade! É sempre maravilhoso ver a paixão dos fãs de anime e jogos. Continue se divertindo e explorando!
