Battles okay but the roaming, not a fan of that. The joystick like demonsouls, would be good when roaming. ### 3/5 — Decent *2019-06-09, version 2.9.1* It’s an old school rpg type, with some new elements that haven’t really been used before. It’s not a bad game. My only turn off is the dating sim in the game, I don’t want to play a male character that is forced to date women. I either don’t want a dating sim at all, or let me play a guy character, who dates dudes. That’s my only complaint. ### 4/5 — To fast *2019-03-28, version 2.9.1* The intros and cut scene letters / messages disappear to fast . But other then that it’s a pretty well made game. Would rate it a 5 star if the messages are slower or give us the option too pause it kind is kills the story side a bit ### 4/5 — No save? *2018-03-28, version 2.9.1* I was playing having fun then died to challeger2 and lost all my progress ### 3/5 — Duh *2017-11-30, version 2.9.0* DUH DUH DUH DUNDUN DUH DUNDUN DUH ### 3/5 — Can't pass chapter 1 *2017-07-06, version 2.7.3* Graphics are great but boss battle is a little too extreme when it has 2800 hp when u have 300 hp and that boss hits u with over 1000 damage. Can u plz fix ### 3/5 — Targeting *2017-05-02, version 2.7.3* Good game from what I've played so far, but targeting the enemy or ally is terrible constantly hitting wrong target ### 2/5 — Can't get to the ruins *2017-04-19, version 2.7.3* Loved it up til I couldn't get to the ruins because of button in the way please fix soon ### 3/5 — Glitches *2017-01-25, version 2.7.3* Love the game but it's glitchy right at the ruin Road. There's a menu button that's blocking your ability to click to the next area. please fix it so I can keep playing your beautiful game. ### 2/5 — Glitch *2016-10-23, version 2.7.3* I would love to continue this game. However I can't progress to the next screen because they placed the enchantment purchase button right over the entrance. Ruin road. Please fix it ### 4/5 — Leveling stopped *2016-10-17, version 2.7.3* Is the level cap 60? Or should it be higher, and please fix the exp and gold drop by groups of 3 enemies since it is stuck at 10 ### 2/5 — Needs fixing *2016-08-22, version 2.7.3* The game itself is decent, but it needs a few patches. I'd give it four stars if there wasn't all those problems ### 2/5 — Fun but too buggy to play *2016-05-30, version 2.7.2* I'm going to those people who loves an old-school RPG. I had high hopes for this one: the graphics look great, the storyline seems interesting and I thought I'd enjoy it. But the battles are repetitive and the game is really buggy--items disappear or can't be equipped, actions (such as using potions) aren't responsive so the intended target is almost impossible to hit, and the game desperately needs some kind of map for travelled areas. I might check back for upgrades but for now, it's deleted. ### 2/5 — What happened? *2016-04-23, version 2.7.2* Hadn't played this in awhile and was looking forward to running through again. Too bad it crashes every time I use Jack's skills. Please fix!!! This was one of my favorites! ### 3/5 — Please fix the game controls!!!!!! *2016-04-12, version 2.7.2* I really want to like this game but the poor game controls in the battles are frustrating as hell! I keep dying because I try healing someone on the verge of KO and the potion or spell goes to the wrong person even though I clearly tapped the character at the top of the screen and not the bottom. I would love to really like this game because so far I enjoy every other aspect of it but poor battle controls are really sloppy considering the rest of the game seems to have had consideration and effort put it. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2016-04-04, version 2.7.2* I'm happy I get to play the game again after the latest update, but there are bugs a plenty right now. Please fix some bugs and I'll give it a 5 star ### 2/5 — Where is everyone?? *2016-03-22, version 2.7.2* After the update, all the girls from the team are missing. So I'm stuck with just Jack alone???? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — bad english *2018-03-03, version 2.9.1* and reading dialogue hurts my brain ### 1/5 — Has promise but needs polish *2016-09-14, version 2.7.3* Ok so the translation is terrible and the groups of enemies give less exp than a single one. These combined make the 1st 15 min of the game easy to swallow because of the art, fight system, and general gamefeel. Seriously though I will not play this game until those bugs are fixed. What a waste of time otherwise ### 1/5 — Terrible... *2016-08-08, version 2.7.3* I can't understand the plot the english is so bad. Plus the game is full of bugs! ### 1/5 — Please fix *2016-03-29, version 2.7.2* - fix the experience points Example : a big spider gives 33 exp While a big spider , wild wolf and a robber gives 10 exp.. - drop rate increase haven't got the poisonous fang while I've been playing for atleast 1hr not even a drop -nice graphic thou ### 1/5 — Force closes *2016-02-01, version 2.1* I'm playing this on an iPhone should work smoothly right guess not when I try to access shop and some other features it keeps force closing on me :( ### 1/5 — Crashing *2016-02-01, version 2.1* The game looks great just wish it would stop crashing when I open the inventory in it. ### 1/5 — Keeps on crashing *2016-01-13, version 2.1* As per title keeps on crashing ### 1/5 — Please fix crash glitches. *2015-12-28, version 2.1* I just started playing and am very frustrated with the constant crashes. I can not sell items, equip some characters, defeat challengers, use some spell, and more. Each time I attempt these actions, the game closes. ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX!!! *2015-12-13, version 2.1* Really disappointed right now. This game has great potential if I could only keep playing without it closing down within 3 minutes. Also, it closes down every time I try to sell something from my bag! Its current state does not deserve the 5 stars, and I would be willing to change the 1-star rating if this could be fixed. Coming from someone giving reviews in 2015!! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2015-12-13, version 2.1* I used both my iphone6 and my ipad2 yet it keeps on crashing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — could be good *2017-12-30, version 2.9.1* I can't get to the ruins because it keeps opening the gold menu. grrrrrrr. Other than that, really fun game! ### 5/5 — Some real gamer advice *2017-11-11, version 2.7.3* I rate this game great but it could have been better by making it so that you could pick a main character and being able to recruit other characters to build an army but i love the gameplay .five stars. ### 5/5 — Ancient ruins *2017-09-16, version 2.7.3* For those who can't get in to the ancient ruins, in the settings u can make it so u move with a dpad instead. ### 5/5 — Nostalgic and fun *2017-01-16, version 2.7.3* Very good game. Reminds me on older titles I used to play on PSX like Suikoden(not sure if this is the right spelling) or Wild Arms. ### 5/5 — I Love It So Far! *2016-12-12, version 2.7.3* I don't expect games to be perfect, even on Xbox 360 I have games I find glitches in all the time. ### 5/5 — Really good game! But... *2016-08-02, version 2.7.3* I just wanna say how awesome this game is. Good art and animation. Battle animations are wonderful and I love the fact that you can see enemies on the field instead of the Random encounters on classic jrpg's. But I do have a few issues. First is, the exp gained from enemy groups are fixed at 10 even though you get higher exp from the same enemies if you encounter them solo. Please fix this because I love grinding exp in these kind of games. Second is, a single tap can skip an important scene or dialogue even though the dialogue isn't completed yet. Even though a small issue, it may be important to players who love indulging in new and unique stories. Anyways, keep up the good work and I hope you can release a patch to fix it soon! TL;DR Excellent game! Even with the issues, still rating 5/5 considering it's a new game. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2016-05-02, version 2.7.2* Reminds me of the good old days when I used to play traditional JRPG's! Sequel would be amazing!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-04-16, version 2.7.2* I thought this game was great and would love a sequel ### 5/5 — Amazing RPG Game *2015-08-29, version 2.1* I love this game I love the music battle system characters all good I enjoy playing it a lot!!! ### 5/5 — Crash *2015-07-30, version 2.1* Played this game 2yrs ago and it was great, but I have recently downloaded and it has started crashing. Would appreciate this was fixed because it did not used to do his --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
