### 5/5 — Buy this

*2026-06-17, version 1.11.32*

Will look for this on steam

### 5/5 — 😼

*2026-01-25, version 1.11.32*

tuff ahh game

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-01-21, version 1.11.32*

Never too late to the party. What an awesome and unique game. I’ll be buying other games from this dev

### 4/5 — Love it but notes for end game

*2025-12-24, version 1.11.32*

I’ve played this game years back and just downloaded it again about a month or so ago. Absolutely amazing and love all the new content. 

I would like to propose to update the game so you’re able to succeed corrupt goddesses and event characters. Going through all that work for a corrupted goddess during the end of your run is heartbreaking and feels like a waste of time.  You either have to play infinite regular mode to actually get to appreciate and use the goddess. You definitely should reward the end game grind. Some ideas if you don’t wanna do that, You can even add item packs that allow you to succeed up to 1 or 3 characters/structures that can’t usually be succeeded.  Also equipment succeeding would be pretty cool as well. 

All I’m saying if I put in the insane amount of work to capture and corrupt a goddess I should be able to actually use and succeed them instead of using them to clean up the end of your run. At least be able to choose 1 to bring with you in a new run. Also it adds so much more playability to the end game. Now one of your goals is to capture and corrupt every goddess and your way more motivated to do so if you can actually cherish and appreciate the time you had to put into capturing them for a new fresh run. 

Yeah it’s cool to go to index and be like see I got them. 20x more cooler to actually be able to use them appropriately considering the energy needed to put into them.

It’s just one of those I basically beat the games except the goddess but what’s the point? I needa put inside amount of work into something that I get to just look at when it’s all said and done. Don’t get to succeed them. Insane drop rate insane souls required. The only people going after that are the people that 100% a game. Otherwise you are like me and think the goddess mechanic is not worth it. Not even worth collecting for a completion check. The goddess are just bragging rights basically and that is super sad when they should be one of the best and final mechanics in the game.

### 5/5 — Russian

*2025-09-16*

We need Russian language
Super game

### 2/5 — A paid-game?

*2025-09-02, version 1.11.31*

An offline paid game with in-game purchase is insane and crazy

### 5/5 — ยังดีเหมือนเคย

*2025-08-26, version 1.11.31*

เคยสมัยเกมออกใหม่ ๆ คิดถึงเลยกลับมาเล่นใหม่อีกครั้ง สนุกดี

### 1/5 — んが

*2025-07-31, version 1.11.30*

とりあえずやればどんどん進んでくゲームです
でもなにしてるかさっぱりわからない
転生を何回かしたけどよくわからない
長時間プレーしても色んなことがよくわからないゲーム
けっしておもしろくはない

### 4/5 — 神ゲーだったよ。時間溶けるから消す。

*2025-07-20, version 1.11.30*

ストーリーモードを最後まで成し遂げて、ルカの超越開放したのは俺の中で一番頑張ったことだった。
成し遂げた頃にやっと思い出した。そうだ、俺浪人生だったわって。
それくらい夢中になれる神ゲー。
一つ言うことがあるとすれば、ストーリーモードが調べないと絶対にクリアできないくらい難しいところ。

### 5/5 — Love the game but can’t save to cloud

*2025-07-16, version 1.11.30*

I love this game, however sometimes a pop up will warn about device data being different from cloud data, so I try to save to the cloud but it says accounts are different, it won’t override with my device data. It says the accounts are different but it won’t show me what account was used where, also saving should override previous data anyway, it shouldn’t matter if cloud data’s out of date, an override should delete old data and place new data in its place so cloud data being out of date shouldn’t prevent saving anyway. Please reply with a support email or something, I can send screenshots of the relevant popups
