I actually want to spend money to support the game, but the prices are way too high. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-17, version 1.0.972* Great 2D graphics, but PvP meta is pure unbalanced trash! ### 1/5 — Everything i summoned is useless *2026-08-13, version 1.0.972* Nevermind everything summoned is useless charcter or artifact ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-08-11, version 1.0.972* Great 2D graphics, but PvP meta is pure unbalanced trash! ### 1/5 — Erro de conexão *2026-08-09* O jogo da erro de conexão e fecha, não importa a rede nem o aparelho. Já desinstalei e baixei de novo e o erro continua. ### 1/5 — Overly sexualized *2026-08-07, version 1.0.972* Come on guys, why is there so many overly sexualized half naked characters bro. There’s too much fan service already. Plus, there’s kids playing this game wtf. It genuinely unplayable. ### 1/5 — Photo event sucks *2026-08-04, version 1.0.967* Can’t see the edges on iPhone. Camera bump also blocks vision. Controls clunky. Overall terrible experience ### 1/5 — Will not work on iPhone 16 pro *2026-07-24, version 1.0.967* Rift or other content does not work. I just installed, no refresh rate adjustment or ability to farm in the background. The screen is black and only shows characters. Game freezes when I attempt to background battle and return to lobby. ### 1/5 — Dying game *2026-07-23, version 1.0.967* Dying predatory game trying to milk whoever will still play ### 1/5 — Don’t download it *2026-07-21, version 1.0.967* The game won’t even download even if you have the required space. No other app on the App Store has this problem it is exclusive to this game. Stay away from it. ### 2/5 — Account RNG Skewed *2026-07-18, version 1.0.967* Overall like the improvements since leaving a year ago. Not a fan of my account having to go to pity on every banner, remember this being the reason getting fed up and qutting a year ago, and expectedly went 2 for 2 banners having to go to pity since coming back a week ago. Guessing my account ID has a really bad seed as an input in the RNG algorithm and likely the cause of yielding several standard deviations of worse results. Also the primary reason not to support purchasing any in game packs as the expected return is literally worst case, while I watch streamers pulling LD5 two standard deviations on the good side of the bell curve. Is what it is but definitely makes the game feel bad when the only memories are assured nothing until pity. Expecting same result when aube releases and if this is the outcome may br worth checking the algorithm as I will quit indefinitely when that inevitable outcome occurs. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Use to be a better game *2026-09-01, version 1.0.974* 8th ani is a scam and now its telling me my apple pw is wrong! Yeah total scam DO NOT DOWNLOAD If your returning it’s ok ; if you’re new might want to avoid .They keep ruining units to try and force players into PvP (Lilias) or just nerf them to be useless to push new units (Chloe;Tywin) and then they made it harder to max a unit to force you to buy things with real money (dogs were better than flowers by far flowers are just a resource sink) and not to Metin they keep forcing us to do annoying mazes that make you take more damage while removing the only way to rest in them, literally just made it more annoying and nothing else. And they even have a map with THREE in a row!!! ### 1/5 — Loads of bugs *2026-08-31, version 1.0.974* Soulburn bug Error 402 taking away resources and rta points (the patch did nothing, in fact it broke something instead) No compensation for the loss of millions of resources. Releases the most BS character ever to release to the point RTA is unplayable. Do not play this game, they clearly don’t care anymore. ### 1/5 — Unplayable State *2026-08-29, version 1.0.974* Since 8 Anniv update game has been unplayable. Connection errors, game crashing, error “402” when playing the new game mode which gives you an instant loss. ### 1/5 — Slow Squeeze *2026-08-29, version 1.0.974* Game is meant to give you rewards up front and access to the latest power creep units, anniversary units are the best example. Over time resources are not available to obtain the later power units and force you to pay or the game is unplayable. My experience is that no mystic hero can be summoned without going to full pity. Galaxy bookmarks yield no 5 star units. Seems like the streamers are on the other side of the statistical distribution by design. Gameplay is fun until you are met with the inability to compete due to the aforementioned. Not recommended to play this game as long term disappointment is inevitable. ### 1/5 — Really SG, really???? *2026-08-28, version 1.0.974* TRASH Anniversary! All the bugs even after 8 years they don’t know what they’re doing and all these free summons for nothing SmileGate wants your money not your loyalty! Good job SG! ### 1/5 — Something wrong *2026-08-27, version 1.0.974* After the new update I couldn’t log in I delete the app restart my phone every thing !!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Fake odds *2026-08-27, version 1.0.974* Gacha with false odds. Would not recommend, it’ll never be in your favor even if it says it will. ### 1/5 — Lagggggg *2026-08-27, version 1.0.974* Lagggggg ### 1/5 — Incompetent devs *2026-08-27, version 1.0.974* Cant properly do maintenance on an anniversary update. I pray for EOS ### 1/5 — Story not being voiced dubbed anymore it appears *2026-08-26, version 1.0.972* Games dumb now. Time to move on to other games. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game so much! *2026-08-30, version 1.0.974* Thank you for this amazing anniversary, Smilegate although I have some constructive criticism to share, I feel like it’s not too important. I just wanted to say thank you because I appreciate this game as it’s so fun! Let’s have an Infinity Day! ### 5/5 — W fookin game *2026-08-27, version 1.0.974* Fooking W game ### 5/5 — All around great *2026-08-21, version 1.0.972* Extremely fun game with excellent pvp unlike any other game I’ve played and an incredible fantasy story in which I can’t believe how good the writing is ### 5/5 — Love hate relationship *2026-08-07, version 1.0.972* Played for a few years now but lost the old account. Love this game so much and hope for more events with big rewards for older players. ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-06, version 1.0.972* Please add more Specialty Change Units!!!! I need this!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Try this *2026-08-06, version 1.0.972* I love this game so much ### 5/5 — Friendly to new players *2026-07-27, version 1.0.967* Good ### 5/5 — Best long term hero collector you need *2026-07-19, version 1.0.967* I deleted all other hero collectors, the team company listens to the players and gives more and more the years pass by. You can reach to high ranks at a new account with all the free stuff, you wil not find a hero collector that gives alot like epic seven, its triple a hero collector ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2026-07-17, version 1.0.967* Although some people say the luck is horrible I find it quite easy to rack up summoning tickets by achievements. I love the animations and the rng might be a bit bad but it is 100% worth it! Equipment is a constant struggle though due to a lot of speed requirements. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-11, version 1.0.967* This is the best anime game ever 😊 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
