There was an import option and thats all. Did I not download the actual game or what? ### 1/5 — This is NOT octopath traveler - It’s been acquired. *2025-02-14, version 2.16.00* As soon as I opened the game and pressed “start” I was met with a disclaimer that the game has been transferred to another company and then offered a redirect to a website with another thing to download. Not clear, not what I asked for when I hit “download” in the App Store. Felt deceptive, even if it’s just BAU for an acquisition. moving on. ### 5/5 — An Experience Hard to Forget *2024-12-20, version 2.16.00* I’ve played both Octopath 1 and 2 (Completed) and CotC for maybe a year and a half. With that, I can say that this is one of the best mobile games if you’re looking for a strategy-based rpg. Even with the somewhat annoying gacha system, it’s not too difficult to get five stars due to the generosity during events. Additionally, if you’re a f2p, so am I and I have completed the entire story, start to finish, just persevere. ### 5/5 — CLASSY *2024-12-11, version 2.16.00* A solid all-around jrpg gacha for single player gamers. Perfect alternative to Another Eden which is unplayable due to joke load times. COTC also happens to be gorgeous to look at and fun to boot. What a concept. Worried about that transfer to netease next month but we’ll see. Maybe the honeymoon phase that comes with all ftp games will have passed by then anyways. ### 3/5 — Decent game with greedy gacha mechanism *2024-12-08, version 2.16.00* The main story makes me cry. Boss fight makes my team cry(Excellent Boss design bring me so much joy). So little daily login reward makes me cry. Gacha makes my wallet cry. ### 4/5 — Second best phone game *2024-12-02, version 2.16.00* Second only to dream team ### 4/5 — Controller support *2024-11-30, version 2.16.00* Would be great if could add controller support. ### 5/5 — EOS *2024-11-27, version 2.16.00* It’s been a great journey playing this game. I hope the next version of the app is even better. ### 5/5 — Controller Support *2024-11-25, version 2.15.00* The only thing missing now is controller support. Please add it! ### 5/5 — Backbone controller *2024-11-21, version 2.15.00* Please ## Frequently asked questions about OCTOPATH TRAVELER™：CotC ### What kind of game is OCTOPATH TRAVELER™：CotC?
