### 3/5 — I can't relogin my old account via Facebook anymore D:

*2024-10-07, version 2.5.02*

I recently download the game again and try to login my previous account, but I can't use my Facebook linked account because it says "The app is not activated". What can I do to login, I miss my account so much I don't wanna lose it.
Thank you.

### 2/5 — Can’t play the Game

### 5/5 — Afk 아레나

*2021-10-17*

그냥 afk에 스킨 입히고 하는거네요. 시스템은 소스파일 그대로 복붙하시고.. 이정도면 개발자 일 안하는건데 월급 주는게 아깝지 않나요? 일러팀만 죽어라 고생한듯.. 귀염귀염해서 그냥 참고 하려다가 해도해도 너무 똑같아서 괘씸하네요. 좀 더 본인들만의 게임을 만들어 주세요. 아니면 하다못해 이름을 Afk 프린세스 로 하던가 ㅋㅋ afk아레나 회사에게 로열티를 지불하든가. 이게 왜 2위야 ㅋㅋ 말세다

### 5/5 — Fun new idle RPG

*2021-08-27*

This game has lots of elements common to mobile RPGs with the added layer of being an idle game.  If you like mobile RPGs, you’ll probably like this game too.  I have yet to find anything bad about this game.

### 4/5 — I’m crying this is an anime afk arena

*2021-08-19*

It’s so beautiful, anime wifus everywhere. Im literally shaking and crying rn this makes me so happy. The colors are bright and it stings my eyes but there’s anime girls so don’t even BOTHER taking it into account. I would die for this game and so would you.

### 5/5 — Great gacha game, very f2p friendly

*2021-07-26, version 1.5.2*

This game is great, devs are generous, many free gifts, progress is pretty smooth even for f2p players, a great idle game

### 5/5 — Princess tales

*2021-07-14, version 1.5.1*

Really good!

### 3/5 — Great game, too many crashes

*2021-07-07*

My game hard crashes multiple times daily. Please fix this as I love playing it.

### 2/5 — Extremely P2W-marketed.

*2021-07-07*

Played this for 2 months or so: sure, every game needs money to survive. However, expect “duration-limited” packs being shoved in your face in your 1st week, needing several dupes of the same character to rank up, and extremely slow progress (even for an AFK game like this) upon reaching mid-game.

At time of writing this review, elite characters are even being sold directly as a direct in-app purchase (on top of being in gacha and packs). For a game that focuses on “princesses”, the art is barely average and has little to no plot or story at all. Actual content is added at an extremely slow pace, with deadpan events being cycled every week or other week in the meantime. Needless to say, don’t expect to get anywhere far for F2Ps. Map progression will be extremely tough, and colosseum modes being tightly gated by P2W players.

Expect to be disappointed if trying this. It’s best if you don’t even bear any expectations for the game at all.

### 2/5 — Same as AFK arena

*2021-07-01, version 1.4.04*

Just another one of the afk, grinding, summoning, lvling char game. Same as afk arena except it’s cuter. The only reason it’s 2 star instead of 1 it’s cuz it’s cuter.

### 2/5 — 단점은 눈에 띄고 개성은 하나 없음

*2021-06-20*

짬짬이 할려고 깔았는데 할수록 스트레스 받는 요소만 늘어나서 접음
컨텐츠 중에서 하늘미로가 가장 찌증을 유발하는 쓰레기 컨텐츠임, 손 가는건 엄청 많은데 그 스트레스가 주사위 숫자 운빵 ㅈ망겜의 특성을 그대로 보여줘 스트레스 수치가 4배는 더 늘어남
그러면서 기본적인 컨텐츠도 많이 부족함
과금은 무난해서 지적할건 없음

### 4/5 — :)

*2021-06-18, version 1.4.3*

Great time killer

### 2/5 — Extreme AFK Arena Vibes

*2021-06-08, version 1.4.2*

I saw a review when i first got this game saying it was like the game AFK Arena and i didnt think that the game would be the same thing besides different sounds and a different art style for the characters.

### 5/5 — Anime Style AFK

*2021-06-08*

Loving this game. If your a fan of anime and afk games, this one is for you. Recently released with the support of a widely praised Korean company behind it - you don’t wanna miss out on the fun.

### 1/5 — Just dont work

*2021-11-29, version 1.8.04*

I don't know what the problem is.  The app doesn't even show up in purchases on the appstore.

I tried everything and all the tips - nothing helped.

The version of my phone is not that old: iphone XR;  software 15.0.2.
And yes, I have more then enough memory space

### 1/5 — 77렙 계정이 날라갔어요.

*2021-11-28*

'유루아'계정 주인입니다. 앱을 한 번 삭제하고 다시 깔았더니 게스트 로그인을 해도 처음부터 시작하고 계정 연동을 따로 안 해놔서 그런지 로그인이 안 되네요. 접속 못 한지도 꽤 되었는데.. 어떤식으로 다시 로그인 해야할지 몰라서 못하고 있어요. 방법 알려주시면 다 해볼테니 1달 조금넘게 키우고 현질까지 꽤 한 계정좀 돌려주셨으면 좋겠어요...

### 1/5 — My account is gone?

*2021-08-04*

After this recent update my account has completely vanished as if I’ve never played this game before how is it that an account linked to fb vanishes? I need answers cp10 almost 11 gone. I can’t send a report because I don’t have my ID but I didn’t I wouldn’t need it after linking my account to fb..

### 1/5 — The Game is Bad

*2021-06-07, version 1.4.2*

The game does not work for iPhones

### 1/5 — Tutorial

### 1/5 — crash

*2021-05-16, version 1.3.04*

### 1/5 — Fun idle game

*2021-05-14, version 1.3.04*

Copy of other idle games.

Except this one crashes a lot.

### 1/5 — Pretty disappointing thus far

*2021-05-12, version 1.3.03*

[edit]
Seems I was a bit wrong with the AFK aspect, the notification at a hour into the idle thew me off, so I’ll apologize for that part.
Adding on to the enemy AI, they are basically cheating. Read up on Teresa’s Flash of the Goddess skill, throw blind at nearest enemy. Well, seems enemy AI doesn’t actually follow that description, cause that 5-36 Teresa sure ain’t throwing it at the closest enemy. She would be standing right next to some one and still chuck that flash bang across the map.

I can already feel the game being extremely F2P unfriendly.
Not really sure where the idle part comes in for this game where you are required to come back every hour to collect your reward, unless you pay some massive money to expand the idle resource collection timer via the CP level(of course you can build it up over time(loooooong time, pretty sure I’ll be at my death bed at that point when I get there)).
The adventure was pretty smooth with some hiccups here and there until the massive wall that is 4-36. When level 57 enemies can smack your level 61 units around like they have paper for HP. And this is the level which you need to pass to unlock the ranking board and crystal room. Really feel like it’s made this way to try to force some money out of the player.
Also not really sure what is happening with the AI priority when fighting, seems like your own unit like to run towards specific targets instead of closest(really makes having formations useless), while the enemy AI seemingly actually have been coded to be smart to focus target.
Now, time to nitpick on the healing of your units. At this moment in time, I only got myself a regular Normal B rank healer called Allain, and I am very disappointed in the ‘healing’ she do. Getting that 900 HP ultimate heal when the enemy is doing 1~1.2k+ per hit is, hmmm, how should I put this, completely and utterly useless. By the time the heal comes in, my units are pretty much either dead, or dead right after receiving the heal. Unless the Elite A rank healers are much better, I feel I am going to be very, very disappointed.
The sky maze, or how I feel it should be called instead: monopoly, is also pretty disappointing with the lack of control unless you want to fork over some premium currency to do a specific roll. And like I said before, since I’m F2P, I get to watch my squad land on healing back to back right off the bat, then preceded to skip over every loot tiles. Pretty good feeling when you want to save those premium currency for some extra summons :).
Other than these disappointments, the rest of the game is okay. Colosseum is, well, the PvP zone, where the whales reign supreme and the fishes gets eaten. Not really a problem there. The Tower of Cromynong, basic battle tower, difficulty seems to scale correctly compared the adventure, so no complaints there. The guild system is pretty normal with a guild boss, not really sure why I have to clean the guild hall all the time for contribution, but that’s whatever, I guess they are all slovenly.
And the only thing I actually like, since it doesn’t require anything and it’s all reliant on luck, and not some hidden RnG mechanic, the Mini-Game, where you get to watch your chosen heroine flop around.
Not sure if I missed anything, but this is all I have to say for now.

### 5/5 — 업데이트 안하나용?

*2026-01-19*

제발 업데이트 해쥬세요ㅠ 예전에 자주 했던 게임이기도 하고 같이 했던 사람들 중에 업데이트하면 복귀한다는 사람도 몇 있었는데ㅠ 업데이트 원합니당ㅠ 성우랑 일러레도 있으시면서ㅜ

### 5/5 — 제발 이벤트 열어주세요

*2025-12-06*

솔직히 애들도 이쁘고 뽑기도 잘나오고 전투, 레벨 키우는 거 다 수월하고 괜찮아요 그런데 문제는 진짜 게임 회사가 망한건가 싶을정도로 이벤트를 안열어줘요 스킨도 안내주고 그냥 날짜에 따라 보상만 주는거 하나 딸랑 있는데..2년만에 다시 복귀한 사람으로써 다시 캐릭터 키우기 너무 힘들고 할 맛이 안나는거 같아요..제발 돌아와요..):

### 5/5 — 업데이트 해주세요,,

### 5/5 — ⭐️🌟⭐️

*2024-04-16, version 2.5.02*

this game is so cute and generous rewards! i used to play this on my old android and got super far. really f2p friendly and has a lot to grind for. i love collecting the silly little characters!!

### 5/5 — Great Idle RPG, Super Cute!

*2023-02-22*

I really like this game, it’s fun, simple to play, and has really cute characters! I like to flip through a few idle games when I play, and this has become a daily addition to my game set. I think it is very fair and gives a lot of free stuff, there are things for sale advertised, but you don’t need it to enjoy the game, as long as you have a bit of patience. I like all the characters and their little backstories, I especially like that the characters are NOT oversexualized like in a lot of similar character collecting games. The gameplay is fun, not overly pvp oriented, and I like that you don’t have to upgrade all you characters because of the crystal room, you only have to spend resources on your five strongest characters, and any other ones put in the room match to the the same level as your fifth most powerful character. The events are also simple and recurring, not one time events that are a cash grab.  I just like the whole experience, and everyone I have interacted with on my server is super nice. I would definitely recommend trying it out!

### 5/5 — good game

*2022-11-21*

its a nice game, well designed, work was evidently put into it, i just have one suggestion 

can you put language selection before or after the "agreement of ToS", because my store is american and my account is american yet my game is in a weird language, i think it's arabic or persian or something and i had to go through the tutorial like that without understanding anything and its very tedious and off-putting

### 5/5 — Beautiful, Fun, and Simple.

*2021-12-09*

The game is pretty easy to get into, the art is great and all the characters are really pretty/cute! I’ve only spent 15$ just to buy an outfit, and have otherwise gotten really far without paying for progress or power. Just running content in the game and checking in daily (as expected with any mobile game) will get you the whole way through over time. And relatively quickly. I feel it beats other competitors because there 
IS NO PAYWALL!!!! So your progress is purely based on builds and upkeep. I genuinely enjoy this game. And it’s the only mobile game to last more than a few months for me. 10/10 (by mobile game standards)
