### 1/5 — Client network error

*2026-08-01, version 1.36.02*

Game won't even start properly. Just gives an error on opening.

### 2/5 — True to its title

*2026-07-01, version 1.36.02*

Would be a fun game if it would open. More than half the time the app won’t load. Only a client network error pops up or nothing shows up at all

### 4/5 — Fun ,Amazing Artwork , No Unexpected Ad Spawns.

*2025-10-14, version 1.35.99*

My comment title says it all Fun , Amazing Artwork , No Unexpected Ad Spawns. I’m a forever free to play kind of player there’s nothing limiting so far being maybe a hour of gameplay in so far. Unlike those other games that ask for a review almost instantly after character / account creation this doesn’t. Again great character art props to the artists who managed to check the boxes of sexy but appropriate. Thank you for no slapping ungodly large extremities

### 5/5 — Game Feedback

*2025-07-19*

I have some suggestions for the game

1) I suggest updating new characters for the game including characters with the ability to summon monsters, summon spirits, and summon souls

2) I suggest redoing the skill sets and appearances of old characters

3) I suggest updating new skills for characters including awakening skills after reaching high levels

4) I suggest updating Vietnamese language

5) I suggest updating pet features for characters

6) I suggest updating new equipment, new costumes, new skills, new characters, new map areas, new monsters and bosses, new features

7) I suggest adding an auto-optimization feature for game graphics and RAM for old and new phones, optimizing battery saving features for old and new phones

8) I suggest that the support rewards for new players should be better supported now
