Don’t think it’s running anymore ### 4/5 — I miss illusion connect.. *2025-04-02, version 1.0.5* Please update this game, it’s the closest thing to illusion connect out there. I don’t want fan service, the pvp is what I miss. It’s so intricate and unique I love the turn based strategy gameplay. I haven’t found any other game like it. Bring it back, please. I’m begging. ### 3/5 — Update? *2025-03-14, version 1.0.5* I’m enjoying this but why hasn’t it been updated in a year? BTW there’s no such thing as shadow brides. And I highly doubt it was 100% copy ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-02-09* Money grabbing scam. Original game was shadow brides from back in 2022. After a little over a year they shut the game game with no notice and renamed it cursed/dark brides 4th quarter 2023. It’s now February of 2025 and the last communion we got from the devs was in April of 2024 (10 months). Devs have abandoned the game and just leave the servers up as a money grab. ### 3/5 — Update? *2025-01-15* I’m enjoying this but why hasn’t it been updated in a year? ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!!! *2024-11-15* This game no longer works it has been canceled by the developer!!!! This is the second time they have done this. Total scam !!! STAY AWAY!!! ### 1/5 — Impossible de se connecter *2024-05-15* Aucune nouvelle sur des mises à jours de problèmes ### 1/5 — This game has been released before *2023-09-06* Previously known as Shadow Brides, the developers have a habit of renaming themselves and shutting down their games. This game hasn’t changed apart from the name. They shut it down a few months back along with everyone’s data and purchases. They also claim to be another company… They closed their previous game, Illusion Connect, and their first game too. Just don’t buy anything with real money, as you will lose your progress when they eventually shut down the servers to this game again. ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2023-09-03* This game is a clone of another game (Shadow Brides) which was shutdown without any notice or transfer of player accounts. You'd be a fool to expect them to not do the same with this one. Play something else! ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-08-27* I went on vacation… comeback to login in and the company “had their rights sold and changed the game title.” Lost all of my game data…I would have to start from scratch and go through an annoying tutorial, etc…if this is the case and others are having the same issue… I guarantee it’s not worth playing because they’ll probably do this again in the future. ## Frequently asked questions about Dark Brides ### What is Dark Brides: 9v9 Strategy RPG?
