I mean this game has beauty but lacks the satisfactory feeling for all the shikigamis; I wrote the creator about how to change decors within the game or to add them and they said they add it in but still sort of nothing..sure we had the childish cooking event but that still isn’t good enough to me. All there was was Gomaru, and Uminocho card display decor what about the rest of the cooking..the unpopular to choose and just luck as well..I think they could have done better here also as far as stats for every card they have to update them to fit the mold of the meta-which is just Poison decks, Control Decks, Dps for the main part..I don’t want to sound spoiled or repetitive but again cooking should have been the best deck to choose in the game since they supported it and advertised it for so long and speaking of time I stopped playing this game for 2 years and they said basically don’t worry your placement won’t be effected but I don’t know; (There is no equal balance!!!!) I want to be able to share my deck and to do this you must reach cultivating deck requirements lvl34 sign in for 90 days and reach rank level 8 overall and if you don’t you could just screen shot it for people to copy but I wish I had that and was luminary all ready..stupid mistakes in this game are too costly and you do not get that God like feeling like when I first started playing I was using someone’s deck(didn’t graduate the thing either) and I understood every aspect of the game..point being why make rules w/ counting on randoms from the game to make your experience better..people somehow found my account and I don’t even know how they did that also bring on the new update already..this game needs it!! The ones w/ kisodinote and others!! This game is old and lost so much hype because the creator didn’t put every foot forward to better the longevity of the game it’s just like F you pay me and it’s dumb as you could ever imagine and that’s for all video game defs so far!! Please fix your game NetEase…..thanks!! ### 2/5 — 匹配機制 *2023-06-30, version 1.0.22001* 也不知道為什麼四節和五節可以段位匹配到名士還是好幾局，你是懂匹配的。 ### 2/5 — Not Ayakashi: Ghost Guild *2023-05-03, version 1.0.207* This game is ok. But it will NEVER be as good as Ayakashi: Ghost Guild of 2012/2013. That game was superb and there’s NOTHING on iOS that can match how great that game was 10 years ago ### 1/5 — Bug *2023-01-01, version 1.0.200* I love the game but for some reason when I try to enter my username the game crashes. Please help I want to play the game ### 1/5 — Broken *2022-12-30* Like alot of netease games, beautiful but broken. Can't get past the name entry, so can't try the game at all. Deleted ### 1/5 — Can’t connect to server forever *2022-12-29, version 1.0.200* I downloaded this game and never connected to the server. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2022-12-16, version 1.0.180* Incredibly detailed and beautiful, might be a bit of a grind to get cards you want, making it f2p friendly. Draw rates arent bad either, you get guaranteed SSRs in 20 draws of the same packs. And they give you many resources as a beginner. Game mechanics may be overwhelming at first, but as you play the story you will understand more the gimmicks more clearly. ### 1/5 — Pls change my mind *2022-12-03* Honestly I really hate the fact you don’t send 10 free card thing for to wish something if a player comes back for 3months, Also I want to feel satisfy instead of losing every rank match round. I feel like I’m playing against a player who play this game with no breaks🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️ ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2022-09-26, version 1.0.180* Strategic card game with the best art style ever. Awesome fighting experience. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unauthorized charge *2025-04-10, version 1.0.25501* There was an unauthorized payment made on my account on March 27 for the amount of $16.31, but I never made that purchase. So I requested a refund from apple and now the game is charging me and gives me a negative balance on my jade. After reporting this issue with customer support, they claimed that they can’t do anything and the payment was reflected on my account which is not true. The recharged jade was never reflected on my balance and instead they took away my remaining balance of jade for asking the refund. This is simply unacceptable and sickening, you can charge someone for something they didn’t purchase and take away their money, that’s stealing!!! I enjoyed playing this game but this is really upsetting. I won’t be making any further purchases and will be uninstalling. Do not get yourself into this! ### 1/5 — 挂还是bug？ *2025-03-14, version 1.0.25501* 为什么我的蝎女打被挂上毒的熏没有击杀？而只是满血退守护的形态？ 是这游戏有挂狗还是bug？？？ ### 1/5 — Needs a tutorial skip *2025-02-16, version 1.0.25501* I love an hour of tutorial before I can play the game <3 Can’t even change your deck with the many new cards I won. Been playing for about 3 hours and still stuck with the starter cards. ??? ### 1/5 — 打不开 *2024-07-23, version 1.0.25501* 打不开是因为什么，老是显示网络错误 ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2024-05-15, version 1.0.25501* Looks like this would be a very beautiful game it will not connect to a server though ### 1/5 — I can’t play. *2023-11-07, version 1.0.22904* The app can’t download the update. Always say the resources are corrupted. ### 1/5 — Really Netease!!! *2023-05-28, version 1.0.207* First Neko Crush tries too steal information from my clipboard, now this “game” access too my local network? You can spy on the CCP’s own citizens like this but the moment they are not my masters! ### 1/5 — I’d love to play if I could *2023-02-21, version 1.0.207* Every time I try to log in it tells me it failed to connect to the international server. ### 1/5 — Super shady app, download at own risk *2023-01-20, version 1.0.207* When opening the application it tries to get any data in your clipboard. That’s shady enough for me to uninstall. I’m glad I used hide-my-email to sign in to it. ### 1/5 — Lag *2023-01-19, version 1.0.207* Server lagged as potato, Never able to see what I actually got when open a pack, disgusting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 内什么国际服主线第三章什么时候上啊 *2025-04-26, version 1.0.25501* 只有孟婆之旅和不知火，松和藤姬的故事一点都没有（要不是我看了国服的进度还不知道第三章的存在）（以及什么时候能看到小阿爸上船啊，只有预告pv里见过……） ### 5/5 — Genius brain or amazing game? *2024-10-03* Maybe I’m simply a genius but the strategy is easy to understand and develop, and the art/vibe is beautiful. The amount of shikigami and deck building variety is incredible and seeing a deck you built develop well during battle is an amazing feeling. Victory is highly rewarding, and putting your strategies against another is exhilarating. I haven’t lost a single round yet, either I’m a genius with a mind built for war or my opponents don’t have the same level of appreciation for the game, but I give the highest scores across the board for this masterpiece. **Developer response:** Hello player. Thank you for your valuable insights. We will pass this to our development team for further review. We believe that new content and patches will appear as optimizations. Thank you for your support! ### 5/5 — LOVE IT Why didn’t I try this sooner?? *2024-07-26* I never write reviews, like ever. But I have been playing the original Onmyoji game since I had an old iPod. Yeah, those days. I wish I had tried the card game sooner, it is so much fun!! I don’t even normally like card games! ### 5/5 — Great card balance *2024-03-27* I’m a big yugioh player and I feel like this game has all the fixes I wanted in yugioh. Hopefully they keep working on it full force and eventually we get a paper version of the game. It’s well balanced even when going against powerful decks. ### 5/5 — Best mobile card game by a mile *2024-02-24* Generous economy, interesting and unique mechanics, gorgeous artwork, multiple game modes, truly an all star product and hidden gem! Seriously impressed after years of playing games of this nature. ### 5/5 — Unique, stylish, and super fun *2024-02-14* This is exactly the type of card game that I’ve been looking for. It’s the perfect combination between resource based games like magic with hand based games like Yu-Gi-Oh. All of the cards interact with each other on a complex level, and all of the animations look amazing. ### 5/5 — do you have english sub *2024-02-12, version 1.0.24201* do tôi không biết tiếng trung nên muồn nhờ đội ngũ làm game ### 5/5 — Absolutely must play *2023-09-14* Not only are the card illustrations and animations amazing, the gameplay itself is fairly unique and brings a different style of card game that is not only fun but simply irresistible to deny. I definitely recommend this game to any card game aficionados and would love to enjoy looking at a developing competitive scene in the future. Spot on Netease games, and thank you!!! ### 5/5 — . *2023-07-05, version 1.0.22001* Do you only have chinese for this game? ### 5/5 — Oh Lala *2023-07-01, version 1.0.22001* Love the aesthetic and artwork, I hate tht I’m late to the party --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
