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. ### 2/5 — Can’t Skip Cut Scenes *2024-11-08, version 2.15.00* I picked this up after beating the first Octopath game. While playing that, I could hold a button to skip any scene if I was bored or impatient. It is absurd to me that I can't do that in this game, and I'm instead forced to basically just put my phone down and come back later. I prefer the combat to the seemingly endless talking, I fear I'll burn out before I get to really experience the game. ### 2/5 — Square removed Facebook login and deleted data *2024-10-03, version 2.15.00* I don’t understand why square deleted the sign in ability through Facebook my characters and progress was deleted:( ### 3/5 — This game needs controller support *2024-09-20, version 2.14.01* Im surprised this wasnt thought out. ### 2/5 — Everything makes zero sense…but has great music! *2024-09-13, version 2.14.01* Graphics incredible, music incredible, but I guess this is what you get when you combine modern popular gaming mechanics (gambling and addiction) with auto-play, auto-story telling, auto-walking, auto anything else? You tell me. Makes me curious to what the original gamebib I had to stop. Couldn’t take it anymore. What bothers me the most is that you have three characters added to the party out of nowhere….i feel like this game was made for 6 year olds to get them sucked into the RPG genre. It’s like Guild Wars 2 PvP it’s all just given to you for no reason except to make things more equal and that makes it very boring. The whole point of an rpg As Octo quickly tries to get you forced into the story, maybe because attention spans are so low these days? The automatic stuff is contradictory to the whole RPG genre. There are already too many automatic and assumed mechanics-we don’t need more. Just don’t feel it. Maybe I missed some story line? But I feel like this is just a game for kids or be ### 4/5 — Good *2024-09-07, version 2.14.01* Works good! ### 2/5 — Cool game *2024-09-02, version 2.14.01* Great game like it so far. I absolutely hate that im forced to read at a 4th grade speed. A skip dialogue or a faster speed than the auto would be a nice addition ### 3/5 — It was a fun game for the first year *2024-08-28, version 2.14.01* It was fun to collect heroes, pursue their quests, explore the world, but then the challenges started making the game into WORK. You had to know the characteristics of each hero, how to make them work together, fail, fail and fail again to try to complete the later story challenges. For the most part it was a story with some button smashing then became WORK. While most of my bench is 100 level characters, I skip trying to progress the story, the battles simply take too long to repeat, repeat and repeat. ### 5/5 — I can’t say WOW enough *2024-08-28, version 2.14.01* Square really outdid themselves here. This game is beautifully written, has amazing art, cool soundtrack, and has a VERY high REPLAY value. There’s so much Strategy involved in building your characters, a few decent little puzzles, and many many many hours of grinding!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! I will be buying the second installment for the ps4 (as soon as I beat cotc). Thanks to everyone that made this amazing rpg ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Start? *2025-03-02, version 2.16.00* I couldn’t figure out how to start the game. 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. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother, game is ending soon. *2024-11-11, version 2.15.00* The devs have stopped releasing new content, and have gone radio silent. Don’t bother spending a dime, because this formerly great game is done. Just a matter of time before they take it down. Really sad, wish the devs would be more forthcoming about this. ### 1/5 — Square Enix once again fails to do the bare minimum *2024-11-01, version 2.15.00* It is impossible to register with bridge. I tried 3 different accounts and it said that there was a device already with that account. Why does this matter is there no possible way to play with the same account? This is mind blowing . I wanted to try this game but man I am not going to try it since I tried like an hour to make this work. ### 1/5 — Language *2024-10-25, version 2.15.00* No Spanish language ### 1/5 — Needs Mucho Improvement *2024-10-22, version 2.15.00* This game is way too easy, and there is never anything to do. As the greatest gamer and reviewer in the world, I give this game a very low score of one star. Please make game harder, with more stuff to do if you want a better rating. ### 1/5 — Devs are not committed 👎 *2024-10-11, version 2.15.00* The development team is holding us hostage with the threat of Ending Service. EOS means the game will be removed from the App Store and players will lose all access to free and paid content. ### 1/5 — You are better off buyin 1 and 2 then play this hahaha *2024-09-08, version 2.14.01* Square enix sure loves they shatty mobile games full of pay pay pay pay ### 1/5 — No content *2024-09-02, version 2.14.01* This game drops 1 event every few months. They give 15 gems a day when 6000 is pity. Theres no content and EOS is in sight with how bad the revenue numbers are ### 1/5 — Bug ridden mess *2024-08-19, version 2.13.00* Played for 10 minutes and the sound completely stopped, uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted phone, nothing worked. Tried getting free rubies to start off, immediately offers started not giving me free rubies. Absolute mess. 1 star. Its a shame this game even shares the same name as octopath, its a disappointment to the franchise. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Need controller support *2024-11-16, version 2.15.00* I would definitely consider playing more if there was controller support . ### 5/5 — Surprisingly well balanced and honest *2024-10-24, version 2.15.00* I’m usually not a fan of gacha games for a number of reasons, but octopath cotc is a free to play game that may as well be a free console game as everything can be beaten fairly without spending a dime. The graphics are beautiful as all hd-2d and the story is engaging, leading me to spending just to support the team. For those worried, this game doesn’t lock anything important behind limited time events and has hours worth of play. While not a game to play casually, it is sure to help pass those long hours when you have nothing to do and only have your phone in hand. Great job, dev team! ### 5/5 — Controller support *2024-09-16, version 2.14.01* Need controller support ### 5/5 — Favorite game *2024-09-03, version 2.14.01* Awesome music graphic and everything !!! Thank squarenix ### 5/5 — Best gacha game I’ve played *2024-08-28, version 2.14.01* The best gacha game I’ve played. Feels like a complete experience without spending a single penny. Gameplay is fun and there are a lot of great challenges. I love this game so much.
