### 4/5 — Blazeblue but Deadcells

*2026-08-20, version 1.2.0*

Game clearly seems to be angled towards a paid experience. Which is fine, assuming the game is worth doing so.

If you don’t wanna read this wall of text, basically it feels like its lacking an original identity as a game. There’s not really a charm or appeal to it that would make you wanna play this over any other game.

Game isn’t leaving me convinced. It’s clearly inspired by dead cells, which is a phenomenal game, but it’s missing a lot of charm that game had and isn’t as up to par with gameplay. I wont go into specifics but the parrying in particular is a little too lenient on timings in this game. But I’m comparing one of the peakest games of all time to this so it isn’t really a fair comparison.

It’s also clearly inspired a bit by games like BlazeBlue Entropy, and unlike Dead Cells, focuses more on individual character skills rather than items and gear. However, this game also lacks the charm that BlazeBlue had with their characters.

Not the worst game by far though, devs were smart to copy the successful mechanics of other games and bring it to this one, but even so game just feels lacking, and even sort’ve boring. Like the bosses especially aren’t all that interesting and take only about 30 seconds before you’ve completely figured them out. I don’t feel accomplished beating any of the enemies or bosses like I do with Dead Cells.

Maybe I’m being too picky here, but yeah Chillyroom didn’t really make this game have an original identity like they did with Otherworld Legends or Soul Knight, or really any of their other games. It’s cool that they want to step into this genre, but compared to their previous work this is some poor execution of it.

### 5/5 — Genuinely A Great Game

*2026-08-19, version 1.2.0*

One of the few remaining games with actual substance great lore, incredible character designs, immersive story, amazing game mechanics for a phone which has really been lost with a lot of Modern games. 

The Only criticism , I want more, this game seems it has so much potential for expanding the all ready established lore as even skill and abilities and potential a new character or two.

Im just hoping that this isn’t all to game and that the amazing devs at chilly Room will continue to develop this masterpiece. Would highly recommend.

### 3/5 — not bad

*2026-08-17, version 1.2.0*

The game has a great vibe and is interesting, with cool combat and a world with rich lore—BUT it keeps crashing... At first, I didn't mind too much, but when the crashes started happening during the final boss fight... I uninstalled it.

### 5/5 — Says my account doesn’t exist

*2026-08-08, version 1.2.0*

When I paid a dollar when it released and this is the second time chillyroom has done this to me. Reset my account when in ok ayed soul knight for years!!! And on google play store I have record of purchase but still nothing im terribly hurt and disappointed. Again

### 5/5 — 希望更新快一点

*2026-07-30*

感觉技能有点少

### 1/5 — 垃圾广告

*2026-07-29*

破广告各种陷阱让你点、拖延时间、诱导进入

### 2/5 — Promissor a ideia, mais…

*2026-07-27*

O jogo tem as fases e os inimigos e bosses tudo igual, joguei 3 horas matando o mesmo mob em fases semi idênticas e os bosses todos iguais, ja me cansei e nem cheguei a ver se tem outros bosses, o sistema de postura igual sekiro aprovadissimo, so falta deixar o jogo dificil de vdd, pro instant guard se tornar necessário

### 5/5 — 希望多一点内容
