### 4/5 — Way too much space

*2026-09-04, version 3.7*

I really like this game but had to uninstall for space reasons, asking for over 25 gb when Arknights (a much older game) and Umamusume (a game with higher graphics) both require ~17.5 gb is diabolical and totally unnecessary

### 3/5 — Crashing a lot this patch

*2026-08-29*

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

### 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

### 4/5 — Jeu extraordinaire

*2026-08-20*

Ce jeu est magnifique graphiquement et les design des personnages sont magnifiques avec pleins de couleurs. Le système gâcha est présent mais généreux avec un taux d’obtention de personnages honnête. Le seul défaut est le manque de la Version française pour comprendre le lors et l’histoire du jeu. J’espère qu’ils feront un effort pour intégrer la vf.

### 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*

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

### 3/5 — Дбавьте русский язык умоляем

*2026-08-04*

Мне безумно нравится игра, но очень разочаровывает что невозможно полноценно наслаждаться лором и хоть что-то понимать без русификации. Вы неоднократно делаете коллоборации с прототипом советско-русского фольклора, но не добавляете русский язык для достаточно большой аудтитории из СНГ, России. Просто прошу исправьте это, это мешает огровому процессу. Если же за время сколько меня не было его добавили, уведомите пожалуйста.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Beautiful

*2026-08-01, version 3.6.5*

Really love this game and enjoyed the collaboration with Atomic Heart. This is now my favorite app

### 5/5 — I loved this game so good

*2026-07-29, version 3.6.5*

I love this game so good and story

### 5/5 — One of the best stories I’ve ever known

*2026-07-28, version 3.6.5*

Reverse: 1999 has the best story I’ve ever seen in a gacha game. The way it creates characters that feel alive and the way it meshes so well with the times of yesteryear…

It’s a true sight to behold.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-07-28, version 3.6.5*

You need patience to play

### 5/5 — Best gacha game out there

*2026-07-27, version 3.6.5*

The character designs are very aesthetically pleasing and well designed. Female characters are equally as well written as to the male characters. The plot is captivating and is up to my standards. 10/10

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Just no.

*2026-09-02, version 3.7*

All there is a storyline for a card base kind of fighting style. Not as it seems.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — 能不能优化一下帧率？

*2026-08-09, version 3.6.5*

每次打开一些新画面就开始卡帧，实在不行就弄一个45帧，只有30帧和60帧然后60帧做得又卡的要死，每次都出现小卡顿真的很影响体验

### 1/5 — Publisher greed is out of control

*2026-08-08, version 3.6.5*

It’s unfortunately a tale as old as gacha: the publisher made the game intentionally worse for global to squeeze money out of us. Instead of regular rerun banners, we only get banners with two rate-ups, which means you can pull 500 times and still not get the unit you want, or we have anniversary banners, where pity doesn’t carry over, so you need to have enough for double hard pity or risk flushing your pulls down a toilet. True limited characters are ironically much easier to target and acquire than standard characters. It’s a shame because the game itself is wonderful, but I can’t in good conscience rate an inferior product based on what the mainland server gets.

### 1/5 — Unfixable bugs/ bad customer service

*2026-07-31, version 3.6.5*

I would rate this game higher if it wasn’t for the fact that things from my account have disappeared without me doing so, such as psychubes and pulls, even after spending so much time and patience on acquiring them and contacting customer service, they were no help and now I’m left trying to buy back things I have already had and spent so much time building and not even be compensated for what I lost.

### 1/5 — Come back Later

*2026-07-24, version 3.6.5*

Twins are the worst I have zero interest in this don’t want them never needed them.

### 1/5 — day 1 player leaving a 1 star review until I win my 50/50s

*2026-07-23, version 3.6.5*

I generally hate 50/50s to begin with but yeah im salty I’m on a losing streak of 19 right now which is insane. I was generally okay with it before since not every character was a must pull but this game is suffering from major powercreep right now. sucks bc I endorsed it so hard before but I don’t think I can do that anymore since I can’t even keep up with the meta anymore. It’s even worse since I can’t win a 50/50 whoever sees this ig share some luck with me cuz im close to quitting this game.

### 1/5 — 国际服日程安排问题

*2026-07-23, version 3.6.5*

国际服只有联动角色一个术具队成员，新版鬃毛邮报和焦点闪回又是术具队专场，你让国际服玩家拿着一个双生舞伶怎么打本子呢？
请在安排联动活动和版本日程时，多顾虑一些

### 1/5 — 怎么我看到pv里女人没穿衣服啊

*2026-07-11, version 3.6*

这游戏看着挺正经的呀，怎么不穿正经衣服

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Cutscenes kick me out of the app

*2026-09-19, version 3.7*

Please fix

### 5/5 — Overall

*2026-09-14, version 3.7*

I enjoy how long these events are. You don’t have to rush like the usual games that put out 3-7 day events. Thank you so much for realizing there is more to life than a game. I can play this game a couple mins per day and get back to spending time with the family. I will also say it makes the “grind” easier. You don’t have to grind and I absolutely appreciate that. On top of that it makes me want to spend money again on a game because it is so chill. Thank you Reverse 1999 for taking an against the grain approach.

### 5/5 — I would litteraly die for this game

*2026-09-13, version 3.7*

AMAZING graphics, story, and characters. Such a breath of fresh air in the gatcha community due to the character design being awesome yet not sexualized. The game is extremely generous, and I’m able to usually get whatever character I want to pull for. Such an amazing game, it deserves more recognition.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-09-06, version 3.7*

Incredible story and beautiful art

### 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

### 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*

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.

### 5/5 — My favourite game of all time

*2026-08-13*

I have played this games couple weeks/months since it released, and the games evolution is absolutely fantastic from the story, characters and to the gameplay! Every aspect is thrilling, and I’d amazing for f2p like myself because of the amount of resources you can get! I wish all the best to this game~

### 5/5 — Masterpiece

*2026-08-10, version 3.6.5*

This is one of those games that does what it does best in its genre of Strategy games with great story telling, visual arts and effects along with fantastic voice acting and game events. The gacha system is in my opinion of the better ones. I’ve been a day one player since and Reverse 1999 is my #1 strategy gacha games

### 5/5 — QUE.JOGO.PERFEITO!!!

*2026-08-05*

Nossa, melhor jogo que eu ja joguei na vida!
Eu sempre joguei no mobile, e eu fiquei mto feliz quando eu descobri que tinha para macos
pessoalmente acho o worldbuilding completamente genial, porque todo esse tema de viagem no tempo geraria um “paradoxo” se fosse possível na vida real (obg ciência todo dia pela informação) e o jogo trabalha mto bem isso (na própria tela de loading ja diz:”’the storm’: não me lembro direito, mas era algo tipo: some things died, while some were reborn)
Nao sou nem formada em nada (to na escola ainda), mas como historia e a minha matéria favorita, eu posso afirmar (por acabar pesquisando bastante) que o jogo inteiro e bem construído e verídico historicamente (com seus elementos de ficção, obvio)
Acho q sim, vale a pena jogar, e bem divertido, gráficos e designs dos personagens completamente perfeitos… queria mais jogos como esse e staffer case…
