Garbage

I want a refund saw the same star based turn system refuse to play I want my money back now game is literal garbage

Over a year later, still crashing on iPad Mini 5

This game still doesn’t work on an iPad Mini 5. Crashes around the first battle consistently and runs poorly before doing so. It works totally fine on my iPhone SE 3rd Gen and my newer iPhone 13 Mini, but I want to play on a larger screen because the text is tiny. Update from dev and two major iOS updates made no difference.

I tried so hard to like this

I tried so hard to like this game. I played Saga Scarlet Grace and loved it. Once I learned that the Last Remnant was a secret Saga game, I loved it even more. This game is really hard. I know Saga games are supposed to be quirky and there are multiple ways to do anything, but only a few battles in with any character, regular enemies are impossible. It’s just not fun. It seems like the only way to beat enemies is the strategy of becoming stronger than your enemies. If you’ve played a Saga game before, you know that this is easier said than done. There’s no way to get stronger and beat opponents early on, so you’re stuck in a corner early on, getting beat by starting opponents only hours into the game. It makes me all the more angrier that the game cost $50 and it stutters like crazy between simple actions. I feel like I wasted my money. At first I thought I could ignore the performance issues, then I discovered how unfun this game is and I gave up. A few months after I got this game, for some reason I refused to delete it and just offloaded it. Maybe it was because I didn’t want to feel like I wasted $50. Every now and again, I’ll redownload it, thinking maybe I could get into it. I only ever last one battle, where I barely survive, before I offload it again.

Edit: I also have an iPhone 15 plus, so there’s no reason for such poor performance.

Great game, poor performance.

Almost beat a three phase final boss. Game crashed last second. Game has great combat, great dialogue, and is otherwise great to play. But the game has crashed on me twice during important story and boss scenarios. If it’s done so twice, it will most certainly do so again in the future, so I give up on this game. Square Enix will never fix these problems either, which is a shame. This game probably runs better on console as opposed to iOS. I’ll never know because I’m not doing that all over again.

Update: I bought the game on ps5 and played it for a bit. The ps5 version is absolutely flawless. It made me fall in love with the game again. Made me hate the iOS version more. Don’t buy this game on iOS. You’ll regret it you’ll despise it. Get it on ps5 instead.
