Plz fix this bug. Like I’m logged into the game but this loading thing is there blocking half my screen ### 4/5 — 2025 Review *2025-09-08, version 3.0600* It’s pretty good to my surprise, When I saw this i compared it to the new one, But when I downloaded it and played it, it was pretty good even if this game is older than 5 years..I love the gameplay and Gacha so. so if you’re looking for a nice and simple game that is fun and kinda addictive, this is it. ALSO if you don’t have THAT MUCH storage you can always play this UNTILL u get a new device or more storage to play the new one..SO this is a game for people that doesn’t have that much storage. ### 2/5 — App size with no pc port *2025-03-20, version 3.0600* The game itself is fun, however due to its size and lack of optimisations, it takes up way too much space and overall is a laggy experience. I do not recommend playing this until it gets a pc port. ### 5/5 — Perfect blend of Tactical Warfare and Anime Genre *2024-10-15, version 3.0500* This application has a fond collection of Tactical Dolls of different styles and combat effectiveness, some are monthly (glad you can get them as drops from Campaign), and some are special from collaboration events. Sure some T-Dolls may be hard to obtain for your dream team or completion but the battle gameplay is flawless with the set of weapons, gear and skills each has. And in this commander’s opinion, obsoletely the greatest tactical game I’ve played ### 2/5 — Wonderful game, but can no longer play or download game data *2024-10-10, version 3.0401* The game was a wonderful past time for a long time, but now due to unknown reasons you can’t download the full data of the game. The game is extremely storage dependent but about halfway through the download the game will crash and be unable to continue the download. Regardless of if you verify data files or such. Until it’s fixed I wouldn’t recommend downloading the game. ### 5/5 — Игра супер *2024-06-06* Разработчики, вы молодцы! Игра вышла хорошей и на удивление проходится без доната. Играю уже второй год и до сих пор меня все устраивает. Проблема одна: нету русского языка (хотя его наверное будет тяжело добавить ибо много текста), но и без него с базовыми знаниями английского можно спокойно играть. Но вот как мне кажется новым игрокам будет тяжело научиться играть (и даже туториал на ютубе сильно не поможет ибо там так же нет русского языка). Желаю вам удачи в успехах! ### 5/5 — Steam port, please. *2024-05-23, version 3.0401* This game is absolutely phenomenal and I’ve had a great time playing it over the years. I got into it for the VA-11 Hall-A event, which was a blast, and I stayed for the great story and cool characters I’ve gotten to unlock and interact with. However I do feel like I’ve progressed to a point in the story where the game would probably feel better to play on a desktop or laptop. It’s a pretty big game and takes quite a bit of thinking and skill to progress across the large maps, I’d love to see this game ported to Steam or just to the PC in general, it would make it so much easier to play and so much more fun. 🙏🏻 But overall, highly recommend to anyone. ### 3/5 — Good game but be careful *2024-05-18, version 3.0401* So I’m really enjoying the game I like the different types of play styles and using different strategies for each level. So I wanted to keep going and I opened my wallet to make things go faster but when you buy the gems pack you can get charged for than what they advertised. I went to buy the 10 dollar pack and they charged me 14.92 . Which is a big red flag . So it’s a good game just be careful ### 4/5 — Fun but glitchy *2024-05-15, version 3.0401* It tends to lag on the Home Screen. ### 3/5 — It’s fine, but… *2024-04-24, version 3.0400* I play the game once in a while, but I had to reinstall it, and it crashes while trying to log into my Game Center account. I hope this bug gets fixed, but otherwise, the game is fine. I’ve certainly played lower quality games and had a good time, so have at it, I guess. ### 4/5 — Cool game just outdated *2024-03-08, version 3.0200* It’s honestly a pretty unique game as far as mobile games go. The mechanics and gameplay are cool and I like how summoning duplicates can be used to build your army. The game is just horribly outdated now, with a clunky UI and laggy gameplay. Definitely and desperately needs an update ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — > Does it have plot? *2026-01-20, version 3.0710* > It has anime girls ### 1/5 — Boring *2025-10-07, version 3.0600* As a new player, the game is very difficult to invest in. I think whole gacha system and grinding is too complicated for me. Gameplay bores me. There is no against the game. It looks really nice. I love the art and girls. ### 1/5 — WTF！ *2025-09-20* 台服死哪了呢？这种全英文的我怎么看得懂啊！难道被迫放弃老婆们了吗QAQ ### 1/5 — Это первая часть *2025-01-03* А открывается при поиске второй( ### 1/5 — Bug *2024-11-18, version 3.0500* So I used to play this game a lot, and it’s pretty fun for sure. However I tried to redownload for old times sake and found a fun little bug Halfway through the download, the game will crash and west the download. Until this is fixed I can’t give the game a good review :) ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-10-22, version 3.0500* The app crashes every 2 minutes and 11 seconds. It is unusable ### 1/5 — Too much crashing *2024-09-06, version 3.0401* Keeps crashing for some reason like wth? My phone ain’t even old either. ### 1/5 — Customer support refuses to update game account email credential *2024-08-09* UPDATE: I managed to get Girls Frontline CS to help me update the email on my Sunborn game account. But I had to press them, because they initially lied to me that it can't be done, only for them to slip and say it was possible, which wasted a lot of my time. I love Girls' Frontline, but my rating remains at 1/5 stars because of what I described above. I needed to update the email I used to log in to my Sunborn account, so I asked CS for help with that because there was ZERO way in-game to do it myself. I tried asking for help three times: once in-game through a feedback portal; twice by email. All three times, I was denied and lied to that they couldn't help me. It was until the third email when I pressed them enough that they accidentally slipped and said they were able to do it, but I had to give a reason, which they NEVER mentioned before. I gave them feedback and opinions on what I went through. Depending on what they retort, this review may change. Until then, it stands. Don't play this game in the long run if you plan to and if you value your account and game data. Should you need to update credentials on your account for security reasons, Girls Frontline CS will refuse to help you, or they will lie and say they can't help you. I'm baffled at what just happened and for how unnecessary it was. It was stupid. Value your time and money. ### 1/5 — Can’t change language *2024-06-19, version 3.0401* It’s ridiculous to have a game that doesn’t even offer options for different languages. What year we living in? The 80s? My PS1 had some games that at least offer 2 languages to choose from. ### 1/5 — Low quality *2023-12-20, version 3.0200* Low quality game with too much skins and too little content 🚮. Dont feed the devs ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GFL 1 *2026-04-15, version 3.0810* Been playing since 2019 and have been loving almost every aspect of it. It’s what got me more into the firearm space and end up owning pure clone rifles because of this game. But I digress. For newcomers coming from Exilium, welcome. Hope you enjoy the storytelling as much as I did, which I believe this series played in a part of creating the trope of “ooh game about anime girls and guns”, to the darkest and grittiest plots you expect from a war themed genre thru PEAK story-telling. Every new gacha game I started, they immediately get placed on the back burner whenever a new chapter came out for this game, even GFL 2 at times. From a game aspect, pretty overly forgiving when it comes to rolling for the Tactical Dolls and their dupes (dummies) if you be patient and play the waiting game to collect resources. As long as you have the production tix, you can just keep on rolling. Small rant: Even though I put 5 stars, it’s more of a 4.5 as there have been collabs with multiple media like the Gunslinger Girl, The Division, Va11-Ha11a, Ghost in the Shell, etc., with no more reruns with only Arena: Breakout being the only collab that did. I get the IP ownership and copyrights but it’s just my small gripe since there are T-Dolls, and exclusive equipment sets that I missed and can’t get anymore. Same with the monthly log-in 3* dolls and other equipment featured that barely get featured in the Grey Zone area. But as for everything else, 5* ### 5/5 — Veryyyy good *2026-02-03, version 3.0710* Amazing character design gameplay and story ### 5/5 — Better than the second *2025-11-11, version 3.0710* The gameplay is a logistics fan dream, the T-dolls being based on and having the names of irl firearms is just such a great concept. I enjoyed this vastly more than the second. ### 5/5 — laji *2025-08-21, version 3.0600* youxi ### 5/5 — 666我成了！ *2025-07-14, version 3.0600* 终于能玩少前1了，太好了 ### 5/5 — Отлично!! *2025-07-12* Отличная игра! Решил вспомнить игру - до сих пор радует визуалом и атмосферой! Спасибо, что поддерживаете игру столько лет! Лучшая! Great game! Decided to remember the game - still pleases with visuals and atmosphere! Thank you for supporting the game for so many years! The best! ### 5/5 — i love the game *2025-03-21, version 3.0600* Been playing this game since 2018 love the story and everything else! I really hope the game doesn't shut down like the other developer did to other games😭 ### 5/5 — need chinese *2025-01-30, version 3.0500* chinese plz😭 ### 5/5 — Curtain call for an outdated game I personally loved for years *2025-01-08, version 3.0500* Girls' Frontline is a pretty dated game. Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium now being out makes this game feel really old, but it's still gold. Haven't played this game since its start, but have been playing long enough to see how much it's grown. I continue playing GFL1 alongside GFL2:Exilium because I always loved the first. Its story is a gripping one, taking place after WWIII with the rise of PMCs to power, along with the creation of mechanical android girls called T-Dolls, once built for civilian use; now used for combat. Those T-Dolls, each with their own personalities, character development, and stories, keep me playing. There's heart in how these T-Dolls are written, and I love not only their bios, but their sprite artwork. Artwork for this game has always been a joy to admire and critique. It doesn't disappoint; most of it I love <3 Gameplay's a different story. It's outdated. If you start this game now because of GFL2:Exilium, you'll see a stark contrast to the game design methodologies used for both games. You may get bored playing this game because it's really slow, and that's how the gameplay loop is. Turn-based mechanics are the same as GFL2:Exilium, but different with more linear pathways and fights being more automated. The inpatient will quit because of this, but the patient will be rewarded with more T-Dolls to unlock, unique gear, cool systems to toy with, and more story to read. Starting out playing this game my first time was just that: slow and a bit boring. But over time, it became more fun because I gave it time to get better, and it doesn't take very long to get better. But given this game's age and with its last major event coming up, who knows if new players will have time to enjoy this game in full. This isn't a doom review to say the game's dying; in fact, I say this game was successful, lasting long enough to see GFL2:Exilium birthed into reality, with the story of GFL1 actually ending. I hope it continues, perhaps as a singleplayer game I could buy. If not, this is a gacha game worth continuing to log in, play, and spend on until it dies. ### 5/5 — The GOAT *2025-01-05, version 3.0500* Like Plants vs. Zombies but totally different and 50x better --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
