### 1/5 — Can’t change the language

*2026-08-12, version 1.8.13*

There is no Chinese available even I changed from the phone setting. Fix it please.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-08-09, version 1.8.13*

Gameplay is pretty smooth and there is always something to do.

### 4/5 — Really fun!

*2026-08-07, version 1.8.13*

I’ve played this game on and off for years now, and  I like it, especially various limited time events. My one thing I’d criticize is the obscene amount of storage this game takes up. I wish there was a way to have it take up a lot less storage

### 1/5 — Unfair in the ratio of the game

*2026-08-01, version 1.8.13*

The ratio in my game is always bad and it is so unfair. Event in the other event

### 4/5 — 笑烂了

*2026-07-23, version 1.8.13*

这次活动四十抽送了sp铃彦姬，60抽必出给了个葛叶，都是我没有而且想要的

### 1/5 — 无语

*2026-07-18, version 1.8.13*

设置不了中文

*2026-07-17, version 1.8.13*

Best game ever

### 5/5 — The best game ever

*2026-07-11, version 1.8.13*

I adore this game - everything is just perfect. Unique design, beautiful art, gacha system, pvp - i’m serious, this game is the best.

### 1/5 — Worst support ever had.

*2026-07-02, version 1.8.13*

I have never left a review for a game before, but the service I got trying to recover my account that I had over 8 years is totally unacceptable, disappointing, they don’t care about players at all, my account was transfer from Android to iOS years ago, linked to my Facebook, I never had an issue login in between my accounts, for some reason their system mixed my 2 accounts and of course the oldest one ( aasmodeos) my first account got lost, worked with “ support” for weeks almost a months, firstly they passed my verification but they were confused why my account was showing link to the other account (Saral1692) and data was mixed, THEY agreed there was a data discrepancy and even with that I was sent to Android support to explained the situation again, android support ended up asking me for my loggings on Android which I don’t use since more than 4-5 years ago which I don’t remember, to do verification, asked me the same questions I already answered  6+ times showed them the unique purchase I have, and NEVER Helped me, just saying sorry and they understood how frustrating this could be, now I lost my account and clearly this game support doesn’t care, I loved Onmyoji for their unique style and great game, but clearly we are just not a priority.

### 3/5 — Very addicting

*2026-06-28, version 1.8.13*

Been playing it for 4-5 years. On/off. Game is imbalance. Fast team wins so lame
