### 4/5 — 面白いけどストーリーが。。。

*2024-12-20*

女性だとうわって感じる所があります。突然立ち止まった女魔導士に対して、アレが来たの？って声かけるシーンとかゾッとした

### 3/5 — 不錯但問題頗多

*2024-11-12, version 1.07*

故事和遊戲怪不錯
怪物數值過高
遇怪系統太煩人浪費時間

### 4/5 — Très bon match 3

*2023-04-21*

Enfin un match 3 sans pub, sans achats in-app, et avec une grande durée de vie.
Bref on en a pour son argent.
Un seul bémol qui lui coûte la 5e étoile : beaucoup trop de bla-bla entre les parties...

### 4/5 — A Real Game

*2023-03-05, version 1.07*

Buy it. Tons of fun. Thank you for not going down an IAP route. One critique: Some bosses have multiple resistances that set damage to zero. It’s possible to fight through a whole dungeon only to have 0-1 attacks that will damage the boss, creating a very tedious or impossible fight unless you leave and reenter the level. Needs an option to change equipment mid-battle (at some cost, like a turn skip) or make resistances less all-or-nothing.

### 3/5 — Fun but poor balancing

*2023-02-15, version 1.07*

I give it a 3 because while it is fun, the balancing is horrendous. Yes hard should be a challenge, but when it becomes a grind rather than strategy or skill it becomes pointless. When a boss deals 95% of your health and shields in damage on hard and you only have 3 turns to replenish them to max to survive the next hit, which is wholly inefficient, it is not fun or skill. It’s just a grind. But just play it on normal and enjoy it.

### 3/5 — Eig gut,

*2022-11-14, version 1.07*

leider funktioniert die Synchronisation mit dem Savegame nicht mehr und viele wertvolle Stunden sind weg :( ansonsten geniales Spiel!

### 5/5 — Best IOS game ever

*2022-08-15*

This is the best game I’ve ever played on my phone. Good pacing, light RPG features, cute characters and art style, lengthy campaign. Absolutely great!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2022-08-04*

HE1 was wonderful, HE2 is fantastic !😱

### 5/5 — Korean plz

*2022-07-26*

So fun. good game for iphone!!
need Korean plz!!

### 5/5 — Best played in Casual Mode

*2022-07-20, version 1.07*

The game is very entertaining and you could spend hours trying to finish even just the casual mode. I recommend avoiding the harder mode because you could get stuck because you can't beat a stage without better emblems, which you can't get unless you beat the stage. Casual mode is already challenging and fun as it is.

### 2/5 — Valoración.

*2022-06-24, version 1.07*

No está en español por lo tanto no merece la pena jugar.
Saludos.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-06-20, version 1.07*

### 1/5 — Crazy slow

*2025-11-11, version 1.07*

Don’t waist your money. You need thousands of coins to upgrade your team. Based of a healer, shield, and two damage units. And no you don’t get to change them. To upgrade them takes thousands of coins for each unit and you only get 50-200 coins per battle. The battles aren’t great as your characters do very little damage and the enemies do double-triple your damage. Your team only hits one enemy at a time the enemies hit your whole team.

### 1/5 — Kein JRPG und zu schwer

*2025-05-19, version 1.07*

Habe mir das Spiel aufgrund der vielen positiven Bewertungen gekauft. Erstmal positiv ist die Spielidee und keine Mikrotransaktionen. Allerdings hat der Entwickler mit der Spielmechanik und der Schwierigkeit komplett daneben gehauen. Habe ca. 7 Stunden Spielzeit und das Spiel wird nicht ein bisschen einfacher. Man levelt und levelt, kauft sich Rüstungen uns man merkt gar nichts davon. Also wer ein entspanntes Casual Game haben will, sollte lieber sich ein anderes Spiel aussuchen. Keine Empfehlung

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-04-26, version 1.07*

The game is lovely, but when you spend five hours to complete one single level it becomes a waste of time. The difficulty of some levels is frustratingly high as you always depend on luck.

### 1/5 — Excessive random encounters

*2024-09-13, version 1.07*

Could we have a way to disable random encounters?  I’d rather farm exp at another dungeon with chest and gnomes instead of doing of in the over world. Even newer Final Fantasies have this option. Thank you. Will update review if any changes are made. Maybe part 2 will have this feature?

### 1/5 — Guarded enemies

*2023-12-23, version 1.07*

Guarded enemies very unfun to play against

### 1/5 — Bis auf den Schwierigkeitsgrad gut

*2023-03-08, version 1.07*

Ab einem bestimmten Punkt zieht der Schwierigkeitsgrad so an, dass vom. Spielspaß nur noch Frust bleibt!

### 1/5 — Too many trash fight

*2022-10-15, version 1.07*

I cant get to any point of the map without 124466788 trash fights. What kind of idiot think that’s a good idea? Stupid

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time and money

*2022-06-12*

You can play only if you’re ready to fight and fight and fight the same dungeon 100500 times. Awfully balanced game

### 1/5 — Fun but terribly Grundy

*2021-09-08, version 1.07*

Skill only gets you so far , be prepared for hours of mindless grinding just too progress. Game made by sadists.

### 1/5 — Grindy, repetitive

*2021-03-28, version 1.07*

Too repetitive, grindy. Not enough rpg mechanics. Stopped playing after 5hrs.

### 5/5 — wunderbar

*2026-05-12*

sehr schönes game für kleines Geld. Simples match-3 gameplay mit hübscher rollenspiel optik drum herum.
Bin jetzt auf dem 2ten Kontinent angekommen und 1 Boss war sogar schon recht hart, kann einem schnell unfair vorkommen, man muss halt echt versuchen ordentlich Kombos zu erzielen.

Ansonsten echt cooles Spiel, läuft wunderbar, sieht schön aus auf iPhone 13 und verbraucht recht wenig Akku, keine Mikrotransaktionen oder Werbung

Gefällt mir sehr gut bisher, Nachfolger ist auch schon gekauft, freue mich drauf.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-02-17, version 1.07*

Lots of fun and plenty of content. Loved it.

### 5/5 — Excelente juego

*2025-02-07, version 1.07*

Excelente juego, yo no soy muy fan de los videojuegos en celular pero este me atrapó por completo.

### 5/5 — Best game ever played

*2024-11-03, version 1.07*

Best game ever played

### 5/5 — We need more of this game only 2 version isn’t enough

*2024-07-24, version 1.07*

We need more ! Give me more

### 5/5 — Sorpresa positiva!!

*2023-09-30, version 1.07*

Me está encantando el gameplay, la música, los gráficos... En cuanto me lo acabe y rebajen el precio, me compraré la segunda parte sin dudarlo ni un instante. 😜😜

### 5/5 — สนุกก

*2023-09-17, version 1.07*

ไม่ยากจนเกินไป แค่ฟาร์มไปเรื่อยๆ อัพตัวไปเรื่อยๆ วันแรกก็เล่นไปแล้ว 5 ชม จ้าา ไว้รอซื้อภาค 2 ต่อเบยยย

### 5/5 — Стоит своих денег

*2023-03-04*

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻прошёл основной сюжет!!!

### 5/5 — Top👍👍👍

*2022-09-25, version 1.07*

Absolut ein super Spiel ohne den Spielern Geld aus der Tasche  zu ziehen .. für das zweite Teil wünsche ich mir deutsche Übersetzung

### 5/5 — สนุกมากๆ เล่นเพลินเลย

*2022-08-20, version 1.07*

เกมไม่ซับซ้อน อาจจะยากหน่อยแต่ไม่ได้ยากขนาดเล่นไม่ไหว มีฉากจบหลายแบบ ตามตัวเลือกระหว่างทางของเกม เล่นจบสมบูรณ์ได้ในเวลา 20 ชม ถือว่าคุ้มราคามากๆ มีภาค2 ออกมาให้ซื้อเล่นต่อแล้ว
