### 2/5 — crashing

*2026-07-26, version 4.2.4*

unfortunately, the game repeatedly crashes when on certain menu screens. literally every other time i attempt to use the menu. makes it currently unplayable.

### 3/5 — Uh… after I reinstall the app…

*2026-07-18, version 4.2.4*

My game keeps on crashing right after I log into my account for some reason? Is it because you can only play once before you cannot use the account or app again?

### 2/5 — Annoncment dont work

*2026-06-01*

Most of the time they give no reward at all and other time they softlock your game dont waste your time.

### 2/5 — Buggy menu

*2026-04-16, version 3.22.7*

I linked the wrong Apple account and the delete account button doesn’t work.

### 3/5 — Please add controller support

*2026-03-15, version 3.22.6*

Game is fun, for the most part it’s a mobile game. Though a little disappointing that is seems be the same story as Octopath Traveller 0. But would enjoy it more with controller support.

### 4/5 — Hi

*2026-02-23*

So I have a question about the app, so I was looking into the game and I looked throughout and there is no English Version, only Japanese translation. So, I like to point out that the game is terrific, exciting and graphic. I approve this is a great game for all.

### 1/5 — No Portuguese/BR

*2026-02-10*

No stars

### 1/5 — Wow this sucked

*2026-02-05, version 3.22.5*

This is amazingly bad….
And to those who “Love” it I think you mistake “fun” for addictive cycles. 

The game prays on those who are neurodivergent so let’s not mince that. Everything’s about building benign numbers. It all centers around it, of course gambling system. 

You roll for a chance to get the Character you want, just like in most of the trash on this insipid market place. 

I honestly no longer believe Apple has any value outside of garbage games. There is nothing on the Apple App Store that’s worth playing ever.

Apple itself encourage this apple itself rewards this avoid opening the Apple marketplace at all costs. They will do nothing but manipulate you. Do not let Apple have a card number saved for you do this and you will live a happier life don’t do this, and you will lose all your finances in order to gamble them absolutely nothing absolutely nothing

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-01-29, version 3.22.5*

“Build your own world” is a lie. What they mean is travel a prebuilt world.

### 3/5 — Pas en français

*2026-01-25*

Le jeu est fantastique mais malheureusement pas en français. 😢😢😢

**Developer response:** Bonjour joueur,Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes ravis de recevoir le soutien des joueurs dans le partage de différentes langues et cultures dans le jeu. Nous transmettrons cela à notre équipe de développement pour qu'ils l'examinent. Nous espérons voir le français disponible à l'avenir. Merci pour votre patience et votre soutien.

### 1/5 — Need help

*2026-07-21, version 4.2.4*

Game bug, the game keeps shutting down every time it cut scenes into a battle

### 1/5 — Money Sink

*2026-07-04*

Warning : if you wanna be sure to optimize a special character (ex: Terra A4), it will cost you round 350€ at minimum… don’t waste your time and money.

### 1/5 — Game crashing despite iPhone 16 pro max

*2026-07-03*

Octopath looks wonderful, I’ve always been a stickler for jrpg but tell me why I login and get ready for my first encounter. When the game crashes no matter what graphics I reduce, or frame rate. Which shouldn’t happen on my iPhone and then I tried on my iPad Air and it still crashes despite redownloading everything and resetting everything.

### 1/5 — New email binding, purposely misspells key clause.

*2026-06-13, version 4.2.4*

Everything is pretty boiler plate except about not sharing your info to 3rd parties. Which then is horrendously misspelled. Which also makes it not legally binding. Scummy.

### 1/5 — Game continually crashes around every half hour

*2026-05-21*

As the world’s greatest gamer and reviewer, I am giving this game a 1 out of 5 stars. Main annoyance that has been going on for months now is about every half hour the game crashes, literally like every half hour why is nobody fixing this ongoing issue? Also, the game is way too easy, like a rock could clear all content with ease… The hardest bosses don’t even feel like bosses they are chicken wusses that can be defeated in one hit. The story is not riveting at all.

**Developer response:** Hello Player. To better understand and follow up on the problem you mentioned, we suggest you contact us in-game by going to Settings - Support and giving more details of the problem with screenshots for further checking. Thank you for being so supportive.

### 1/5 — Backbone compatibility

*2026-02-19*

Really wish there was compatibility with the backbone

**Developer response:** Hello Player. Thank you for your feedback. We will collect your valuable suggestion and pass it on to our development team for further review. We hope it will turn into reality in the future. Thank you for being so supportive.

### 1/5 — No Spanish language support. English only.

*2026-02-17, version 3.22.6*

A saga with that level of quality And budget should at least include more languages like spanish and french so everyone can enjoy it.

### 1/5 — Spam’s ads to gambling games

*2026-02-13, version 3.22.6*

Not responsible for what ads you give your player base? Well maybe you should start.

### 1/5 — Problème de revuperation

*2026-02-12*

J’ai arrêté le jeu pendant 1 et j’étais très bien avancé (persos lvl 60 j’avais fini les 4 histoires principales) sauf que la je me rend compte que je ne peux pas récupérer mon compte ? 
Que faire ??

**Developer response:** Bonjour, cher joueur. Veuillez nous contacter via "Paramètres - Centre d'assistance" afin que nous puissions vous aider à vérifier les détails de votre compte. Merci de votre coopération.

### 1/5 — Won’t launch

*2026-02-10, version 3.22.5*

This game doesn’t even work! Every time I tried to boot it up the game said network error and wouldn’t allow me past the opening title screen. Maybe it’s just a glitch on my end but I uninstalled.

### 5/5 — UPDATES GETTING GLITCHY

*2026-07-08, version 4.2.4*

Sorry I have to skip the glowing review but my HUNTS have all disappeared with the most recent update. The water effects are polygonal puddles. What’s up SE? (Losing the ability to grind aka level up characters is significantly stunted) 10M-EXP-DAILY BIG PROBLEM!!!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-06-18, version 4.2.4*

It fun. Dont spend

### 5/5 — Wonderful Surprise

*2026-06-11*

In LOVE with this game. Square Enix-certified level of storytelling, very large cast of characters that includes both original and collab units, and turn-based gameplay with actual variety that keeps bringing me back to complete my dailies. Very much representative of the HD-2D trend in gaming right now. Give it a try! I’m glad I did.

### 5/5 — 好像

*2026-05-24, version 4.2.3*

不錯

### 5/5 — !Hervorragend!

*2026-05-15*

Das Spiel ist so geisteskrank geil.  Das ist sehr vielfältig und die story selber ist einfach komplett mein Geschmack 🫶🏽 Mit Abstand das beste Spiel was ich gespielt habe.! 

Ich würde mich bei einer Deutschen Übersetzung sehr freuen.

### 5/5 — Octopath is great

*2026-04-30, version 4.2.2*

It has a very rich story with plenty of detail added to just about every aspect of the game.

### 5/5 — Kudos on the combat system

*2026-04-26, version 4.2.2*

This is hands down the best strategy game combat system I’ve ever used and frankly it’s full of wonderful character interaction

### 5/5 — Yes

*2026-02-08, version 3.22.5*

Good

### 5/5 — No controller support

*2026-01-29*

I don’t want to mark the game down but I was itching to play this game with a controller… I don’t love touch screen games. Feels like a miss here.

### 5/5 — Hermoso!

*2026-01-21, version 3.22.4*

Niceeeeeeeee lob it!!!!
