So far, it's beyond my expectations. There are challenging stages, but the character positions are distinct, and there are many types of enemies that require certain positions to defeat them. So there is actually no useless characters, and that's what I like about this game. **Developer response:** Hello, commander. We appreciate your praise for Light of the Stars.

I didn't get paid or anything. I just tried it out as a big fan of tower defense. The story is good enough, and upgrading characters is also good. It doesn't require me to do any daily missions so I like that. It's my first time doing gacha, and the collection is really good. The mini games are also fun. I like that crystal sphere game. I want more SSR and gacha event. fyi, I spent about 90 bucks. Worth it. **Developer response:** Hello, commander. We are truly grateful that you're enjoying Light of the Stars! We will do our best to make it an even more enjoyable adventure! If you have any good suggestions for a better adventure in Light of the Stars, please let us know!

You can control the gameplay. Upgrading heroes is fun, the hero design is so beautiful. You can spend money to make things easy, but it gives a lot of rewards for a beginner that you don't really have to. I don't usually spend money on mobile games, but I did for this one. Just give it a try, and you will be immersed in the gameplay in no time. I don't know why it's so lowly rated in Korea... **Developer response:** Hello, Hanifa. We are very grateful for your complements towards Light of the Stars. We will do our best to ensure that your adventure in Light of the Stars is always enjoyable.

It's not p2w so much so anyone, old or young, can enjoy it freely. Even a low class hero is strong enough to clear stages, and that's the greatest thing about this game. You have to upgrade heroes with different talents and form variety of units to clear difficult stages. It's hard to find games like this one these days. Keep it up! **Developer response:** Hello, Stephnie. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying Light of the Stars! We will do our best to ensure that you continue to have an amazing adventure with us.

Sometimes I don't get three stars, and other contents could be slow, but the power isn't so important if you think and plan. SR and R heroes are enough. **Developer response:** Hello, KeiSawaii We are very grateful for your complements towards Light of the Stars.

Those who don't like it will leave in a few days, but I think this game is sufficient for those who like this kind of genre. **Developer response:** Hello, commander. We are very grateful for your complements towards Light of the Stars. We will do our best to ensure that your adventure in Light of the Stars is always enjoyable. For more details about our game, please visit our official community! https://community.withhive.com/stars ### 5/5 — I recommend it *2024-05-20* Those who didn't really play it gave a low rating… It's free to play because it gives you enough currency through events and compensation. If you decide to enjoy it slowly, you won't have to spend any money. Main stages are very long, and it gets difficult to pass. If you don't try to pass all in a few days, I think it will be a great game. The gameplay, characters, and contents are very unique. You won't find any game like this in Korea. There are bugs to be fixed and improvements to be made, but it's good enough. If you form units and control them well, you can cover like 3~4000 power. **Developer response:** Hello, Atasia We are very grateful for your complements towards Light of the Stars.

I am looking forward to seeing more heroes. 2) Contents It's fun, but I will have to play more to say for sure. I don't see any connection between each content. Feels like they planned many contents only to prevent users from getting bored... **Developer response:** Hello, Ajahnay We are truly grateful that you're enjoying Light of the Stars!

You need all kinds of position heroes to deploy at the right place and right timing. You need tactics. But to clear higher stages, you need to understand battles well and think and plan well. **Developer response:** Hello, Renitha. We appreciate your praise for Light of the Stars.

Good arts. The story is well-written and kinda sad. First time crying over a mobile game. I teared up as I went through the story lol **Developer response:** Hello, Allishia.

Made me write stuff on their official community. But game is fun. Bugs… will be fixed soon, I think. They are working hard to give feedbacks. **Developer response:** Hello, Kylel.

Those of you who play the game genre I enjoy will know. I played lineage and slg. The users of those games are familiar with expensive monthly passes and systems. So we find business models like alchemy stars sufficient. But of course, everyone takes it differently, so there were many comments about it. The gms here are trying their best to listen and reflect on what users say, and I think that's great. I hope the best for you. **Developer response:** Hello, Erenst We are truly grateful that you're enjoying Light of the Stars! We will do our best to make it an even more enjoyable adventure!

The looks of it wasn't really interesting, so I was only gonna try it out. But it was different than what I thought. The strategy is really important, and each position has distinct characteristics that you need to balance them out. It's unique from other games. It's all good, but I hope there will be more contents and events. Thank you for a good game. **Developer response:** Hello, Pryor.

I only knew it was one of those collecting game. I learned that it was a tower defense as I went through the tutorial. It was quite freshing to play a collecting defense game. Just the defense part is also good enough to play. **Developer response:** Hello, commander. We are very grateful for your complements towards Light of the Stars.

I am using to having to check the box agreeing to the EULA but this game also makes the box for push notifications and late night push notifications REQUIRED before you can even open the game. I do not allow push notifications for any game or app so this game was immediately deleted when I saw that. No no and NO. **Developer response:** Hello, This is the Light of the Stars Customer Support team. First of all, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced.

The grind and gacha system are also extreme. People excused it early on because of compensation. Well that's not given to new players so good luck if you're starting months after those old positive reviews. **Developer response:** Hello, Commander!

Upgrading SR and R is enough to clear the stages if you plan well. I've been playing it for two weeks now so I don't have a lot of items. I try this and that to clear the stages and that's the fun of this game. **Developer response:** Hello, MeletteS We are very grateful for your complements towards Light of the Stars.

I don't like turn-based games, but I gave it a try cz I liked the design and all, and I like it. Some say it's a p2w but they just want to increase power and collect heroes quickly. You don't have to spend money cz they give you heroes from the start and you get to pull several SSRs as you progress. There's enough free contents. **Developer response:** Hello, commander.

But I gave it a try. It was better than I expected. I never had to think so much to play a game. Didn’t spend a penny on it, didn't restart, just playing because I don't feel the need. Strategy is more important than the heroes, so clearing stages isn't so difficult. **Developer response:** Hello, Kelline. We appreciate your praise for Light of the Stars.

I had to think about how to form units according to the enemies as you get to higher stages. There are many variables that sometimes I need to calculate the costs, too. I feel so accomplished when I clear a difficult stage after several tries. **Developer response:** Hello, Sarotta. We are very grateful for your complements towards Light of the Stars.
