## What is Reverse?

Reverse: 1999 is a 20th Century Time-Travel Strategic RPG developed by Bluepoch.

As the Timekeeper, observer of eras, you are free to travel through these eras after each "Storm." With the aid of Sonetto, a powerful Arcanist and ally from the Foundation, your mission is to travel through eras to where the "Storm" is most active, find other Arcanists who can sense the coming "Storm," and save them from being "sifted out" of the timeline.

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2026-09-01, version 3.7*

This game have good pity system, amazing character design and good mechanic game

### 3/5 — Crashing a lot this patch

*2026-08-29, version 3.7*

The game crashes a lot on my iphone 11 pro max this patch. Whenever there’s an animation playing it crashes.

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2026-08-27, version 3.7*

Can’t even get the game open once. Says to free up disc space everytime and I’ve cleared up to 20 gigabytes now and apparently it’s still not enough to even try the game once.

### 3/5 — The combat system is a no

*2026-08-23, version 3.7*

I just simply didn’t like the card system. I am way too unlucky to get it to work for me apparently. I prefer more traditional combat system. Unique sure..but I didn’t make it through the tutorial

### 5/5 — Interesting character story and designs

*2026-08-23, version 3.7*

The designers are under paid like who thinks of a piece of a mirror or someone who feeds others fairies to make their teeth better but also the story is so sadddd Schneider is probs ded like 🥲🥲🥲 I don’t like enemies to lovers but I like this the gacha system might not be the best buttttttttttt lowkey its the story that’s the best part and also they actively give crystal drops if you do like anything at all. Ok the skins kinda cost money but at least we have insight 2 skins which honestly feel more rewarding also it’s a free game devs gotta make money somehow

### 5/5 — peakest gacha game ever

*2026-08-19, version 3.7*

i’ve never been one read stories but r1999s plot is actually too intriguing to skip. every ult animation is honestly so perfectly made with so many details, the character designs are so unique and their backstories dont have insane amount of angst and the women aren’t sexualized (as far as i know). the gacha system also is pretty good, as hard pity is only at 70 pulls, but i do find it frustrating that every type of banner has their own pity count, meaning you could lose 3 50/50s  in a row. it’s honestly a bit difficult for me to earn clear drops (the currency used to buy unilogs, which are used for pulling) because i’ve already finished a lot of the main story (breezy, normal, and hard) overall i’d say it’s worth downloading as you get a bunch of pulls when you first start, and the battles are a really good way of making turn based games.

### 3/5 — I tried playing on my new iPhone.

*2026-08-15, version 3.7*

I logged into my google account and the game froze and wouldn’t load anymore. I don’t want to start over.

### 4/5 — Good game, but IT CRASHES SM HELP ME

*2026-08-14, version 3.7*

The game itself is absolutely goated, especially the story and the character designs. However when the new anniversary patch arrived everything seems to crash so easily compared to the previous patches. I activate an ult of a character, I instantly crash, I finished a episode of a story chapter, it crashed again. 😭😭😭😭😭

### 3/5 — Pls help

*2026-08-14, version 3.7*

I just can't play it closes itself down repeatedly I've done everything I can on iphone idk if it's the game or my phone

### 1/5 — It’s 2026 let use reroll

*2026-08-13, version 3.7*

How do gacha games still release and never update the account creation process? We just want a nice start to our account, add a proper rerolling process. After four rerolls I got sick of it and just decided not to play.
