Because you really can't play anything, since everything is basically greyed out. So I won't get to finish any stories. Especially, since it looks like they haven't updated anything in over three years. ### 5/5 — Please don’t stop support on this game! *2025-08-20, version 2.2.0* Please don’t end this game for good, so many people still love this game as much as I do. If you must end it, can you release the full games as a switch game or on game? Or can you give the remaining players unlimited tickets to finish reading all of the stories we can until the game ends? Please I love this game so much and I recently redownloaded it. I was really looking forward to playing it over again. ### 5/5 — Love these *2025-08-09, version 2.2.0* Played it on FB and thought it was gone till found it in istore so happy to see old favorites and new stories add to. ### 3/5 — UPDATE THE GAME *2025-07-29, version 2.2.0* It’s been 3 years since the last update. I’m been playing on and off and the characters are boring. The story tickets take FOREVER to recharge. I recommend 1-2 hours instead of 4. Please update the character models of the older characters. The quality shift in the newer storylines seeing the difference between the older characters and the newer characters is very apparent. I know you’re focusing on obey me but give your other games some love. ### 4/5 — Love! *2025-07-18, version 2.2.0* Reminds me of when I was younger playing this game! It’s still amazing I just wish it wasn’t so expsenive ### 5/5 — Other games *2025-07-15, version 2.2.0* Bring back Niflheim please! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-07-14, version 2.2.0* I absolutely love this game it is the best. Been playing since 2015z ### 3/5 — Super cute but expensive! *2025-07-10, version 2.2.0* It’s definitely not a free app you definitely have to spend money to get the good parts I think I spent 25$ to get to the ending of one story successfully but it was super cute and I loved it I unfortunately will not be playing it a lot because of the spending money to be successful but it’s still nice for a story and if you have that kindve money to spend on it that’s cool too ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-07-06, version 2.2.0* these games bring me so much nostalgia, especially wizardess heart. it’s just super great!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-06-29, version 2.2.0* I love these stories they are amazing and well thought out! I can’t get enough ### 4/5 — Love *2025-06-26, version 2.2.0* While I wish the story tickets refilled quicker - I honestly love these stories and the amazing artwork. Always a fun escape for a few minutes each day. ### 5/5 — Super fun *2025-06-11, version 2.2.0* Super fun gams, I just wish it were a little easier to get gems without spending money TT ### 3/5 — damn *2025-06-05, version 2.2.0* HELP ME ITS BEEN 4 YEARS SINCE I GOT THIS AND THE FIRST TIME I GOT THIS IT WAS SO WEIRD BECAUSE I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS BUT I JUST GOT IT AGAIN SO LIKE ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2025-06-01, version 2.2.0* I’ve been a fan of the Shall We Date sim stories for a long time and while this app doesn’t have a lot of stories, I still love it and recommend it. ### 5/5 — Shall we date *2025-06-01, version 2.2.0* Love it ### 5/5 — Bring back the other games *2025-05-30, version 2.2.0* I am grateful we even have the current 6 games to play with. But as I play these games, especially Ninja Shadow, I beginning to miss its sister series. The series that shared the same characters and now is lost to time. A lot of the time I can make do with watching play through of the now dead games but that doesn't suffice. Some routes aren't even available to be watched either. With as much revenue as NTT Solmare generates through Cmoa, MangaPlaza, ObeyMe, and more, would they truly not be able to bring back at least one or two more games? The goal is to get them all back. I miss my first husband, Hikobane. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-05-29, version 2.2.0* I love this game so much!! :) ### 4/5 — Needs more *2025-05-29, version 2.2.0* Needs Destiny Ninja and Angel or Devil ### 5/5 — Game *2025-05-27, version 2.2.0* It’s a very satisfying game to play. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’m on the verge of deleting this… *2025-07-02* I remember playing Wizardess Heart+ when I was younger and thought it was the best thing ever. Funny how when you come back to things as an adult, you realize how terrible things actually were. The writing is atrocious and unrealistic. It’s repetitive and infuriating in some parts. Why is the main character putting up with abuse from the supposed love interest? Why are the answers that condone the toxic behaviors of the love interest given more intimacy points than the rational (healthy) answers? Additionally, this game is so obviously a money grab. You only get a couple of minutes of reading time before the story ticket is used up, then you have to wait nearly an entire day for all 5 to refill. And don’t even get me started on the in-app purchases. It’s not worth spending real money on this game because you aren’t getting a good deal on the coins. And if you are doing the offer section to get some “free coins,” don’t EVER do the paid offers. ### 1/5 — BRING THE OLD ONES BACK *2024-09-15, version 2.2.0* The old games were so much better.. like ninja love for example. The fans miss them like crazy. These aren’t as good at all! ### 1/5 — WHERES THE OTHER SWD GAMES *2024-08-30, version 2.2.0* I came here to look for destiny ninja 2 and dawg. WHERE IS IT. PLEASEEEE BRING BACK UR OTHER GAMES IM BEGGING I NEED TO SEE MY MAN FUYUKIKU AGAINNN 😭😭🙏🙏 ### 1/5 — Google linked gamea *2024-08-27, version 2.2.0* Honestly the Mashup isn't bad, it's useful to have all the games together. What irks me is that Facebook is the only way to get your account is you played on android like me. I have to start over again with a new account just because I had my game linked to my Google, it anger me that facebook is the only way, I hope they add Google as way as they had in the ORIGINAL games to recover accounts. ### 1/5 — I love this game *2024-03-17, version 2.2.0* I love shall we date games but it breaks my heart that it doesn’t have the old ones like angel + devil or monoko kiss or lost island if you guys added the old ones on it would be absolutely fantastic where’s the other old games breaking my damn heart I’ve been into these since I was 15 and I’m 21 where the hell’s the nostalgia ### 1/5 — Won’t even open *2021-03-12, version 2.0.3* Won’t even open on my iPhone . ### 1/5 — Upset *2020-10-29, version 2.0.3* How come none of the other shall we date in the like Castle break that was one of my favourite game, I would highly appreciate if you bring the other shall we date in dear Otome please 🙏🏻 ### 1/5 — Small brain books delivered few pieces at a time *2020-09-02* Imagine reading a simple story, written at an elementary school reading level and having it divided into tiny pieces. Then after you read a few sentences and look at a few stupid pictures, the game tells you that you must wait another 4 hours to read 2 more sentences (or you can pay them crazy amounts of money to be able to keep reading their super crappy book). Then sometimes there’s a “checkpoint” where the game forces you to buy a vanity item to make your character stylish enough for the next scene in the story but they make that vanity item cost an in game currency that takes forever to charge up. Then it’s like the game is saying “Pay me $30 to keep reading, or wait days to read the next part”. This app is one of the most retarded apps I’ve ever downloaded. They should pay you to play their stupid story app and no one should pay them a single dime. ### 1/5 — I didn’t have a great experience. *2020-03-30, version 1.9.1* I don’t like this app. The quality was horrible and I couldn’t stand the visible pixels. It was also extremely annoying that the music would stop and then playing again from the very beginning. Also, there was no automatic save, I played a story and took a break. When I came back all of it was gone and I had to do it all over again! In general everything felt wired playing this. It was like I was playing something that looked like it was made in the 90’s. I don’t like how the app’s art and quality looks fantastic and amazing on the outside, however inside it didn’t looked great. This is just my opinion on this horrible app, but of course some people enjoy this game and this review is not to stop you from playing this. You can try it out for yourself and see if you had a different experience then me. ### 1/5 — Please listen *2020-02-28* PLEASE DON’T DELETE THESE GAMES FROM ALL THINGS!!!!! Many, and I mean many of the fans are willing and okay with a version of story jar, or dear otome, for those games that you are wanting to completely get rid of, many of us still play some of the first ones that you came out with, like my sweet prince, destiny ninja, and destiny ninja 2, niflheim, ninja assassin, ninja love, angel or devil, ninja love, and many, many more. We would like to continue supporting these games, as well as the newer up and coming ones, maybe create an app that is similar to story jar/dear otome, and put all these games into it. I can GUARANTEE, than nearly all of your loyal fans will download this game, help spread word about it, share the press about it, and express how much we love these games, if you haven’t noticed by now the tons of messages you must have received that are similar to mine, through all social medias and emails, and know the support you have behind these games. Please din’t tear these games away from us. Please. I am expecting a reply, and will wait, I have many more ideas, and recommendations as well. Please, I would love to work with you all. To continue to let these games be played for the younger generation, as well as for the fans that have been there since the start like myself. Please, please respond, I anxiously await your reply. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loved the game sad it’s coming to an end *2025-09-23, version 2.2.0* I got the notice when I decided to redownload it just for the fun and saw the app would be unplayable It’s really sad to see such a good game that I played and liked in the past go I know it wasn’t as popular as both obey me games but it was still awesome to go through different stories ### 5/5 — DONT TERMINATE THE GAME *2025-09-21, version 2.2.0* please ### 5/5 — Please don’t delete it *2025-09-19, version 2.2.0* It brings back so many memories.

Please don’t take them away! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
