He’s somewhat of a madman, but you can trust him. SaGa Frontier next! ### 5/5 — น่าจะคาดหวังได้ *2019-12-12, version 1.0* Ipad air 2 เล่นได้ปกติดี ยังไม่เจอปัญหาอะไร - นึกว่าจะมีเสียงพากษ์ทุกฉากสนทนา แต่เหมือนจะมีแค่บางฉากเอง ### 5/5 — Unlimited Saga’s rebirth *2019-12-12, version 1.0* So far so good. ### 4/5 — 글씨가 너무 작다 *2019-12-06, version 1.0* 대체로 잘 만든 게임인데 아이폰 XR에서는 글씨가 너무 작아서 눈이 피로하다. 아이패드에서 돌리면 좋을듯 하다. ### 5/5 — Best game so far *2019-12-05, version 1.0* Must play game. Fun fun fun game. Best gameplay and best soundtrack. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — CHINESE PLEASE ! *2022-09-17, version 1.0* one star for chinese language missing ! ### 1/5 — The worst game ever made by Square *2021-01-30, version 1.0* You can go back to easier difficult place to train and when you land on an island with high difficult, some important teammates are dead, you are screwed! Please restart the game from last far far away saving point. Most stupid game ever ### 1/5 — Not great *2019-12-05, version 1.0* If you have a lot of time of your hands, this might be fun? Confusing battle mode, unless you meat requirements you have to re-do the battle, like things out of your control like an enemy counter attacking, will force you to re-so the battle, but only after the battle has been completed. It just took me 10minutes to fight one battle and I just started the game, it shouldn't be that difficult. The battles also don't give you any explanation, sometimes you can attack, sometimes not, sometimes you attack multiple times when you didn't command it to. So basically the game is playing itself and you're just watching a movie, since it only lets you select the commands it wants. Way too many limitations. ### 2/5 — Just bought the game *2023-07-09, version 1.0* I was excited but the scroll bar at the bottom of Apple phones won’t go away which makes it tough if not impossible at times to read the small text. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!! thank you devs! ### 2/5 — Controller randomly stopped working. *2019-12-25, version 1.0* It feels like this broke with a recent update. My mFi controller was working and all of a sudden it stopped. The controller works across multiple other apps for both iPad and iPhone, but not for this app across both devices. ### 3/5 — Try not to laugh or cry *2022-06-21, version 1.0* Honestly this game will make you forget your problems with how people fall down like pro wrestlers selling bumps, or the lazy motions for cutscene (and dungeons) approach in a popup book, which I feel works better on iPad limitations, than consoles. The united attacks and attacking enemies based on turn order helps, as well as formations. Fun try while on sale, though it helps to see this as a visual novel with a battle system (with funny theatrics like lay down for brusque slice) over a full-fledged RPG. The game does explain things though the star points (limit moves until you can afford for the team) and glimmers (learn mid battle via a lightbulb saga style) are fun to discover. However, the difficulty spikes, mage charge attacks while only one gets to absorb to boost skills, and life points recover way too slowly with no inns (you swap a character out of 2-3 battles). I did like the interrupts, but enemies that aren’t killed can attack anyway, so it kinda defeats the point if you can’t kill an enemy in one turn. However, it does help to set up the momentum formation to get more stars with every kill by the front row (switch formation if only 1-2 enemies but this and party swap can’t be done mid-battle), and snipe for easy battles by searching everywhere for an event, to get discounted skills/magic for more actions. Unfortunately, using your personal favorite formation/role (some characters have better than others for passive support abilities) and just playing to explore (ie don’t do normal/hard rated battles last) just isn’t viable. You do have some character diversity though unfortunately can’t skip repetitive mines dialogue (battle for half ore, get cheated and keep escalating your share). ### 3/5 — Great game, needs some major improvements *2019-12-04, version 1.0* The game itself is amazing. However there are 3 big issues. I wish they'd be addressed especially with the high price of the game you'd expect some quality improvements. 1) No option to get the Japanese voice acting. You're stuck with English dub no matter what. The Japanese cast had some amazing people and not having them here is extremely disappointing. There should be an option to select downloadable voices / delete English voices. 2) The home bar for iPhone x devices is always appearing everytime you tap the screen. It's extremely bothersome. They need to fix it so it stays gone unless you swipe up on the bottom of the screen. This is an oversight that actually hinders the game since buttons are at the bottom of the screen and get blocked by the idiotic home bar graphic. 3) Lastly, there should be a static virtual joystick option. Floating joysticks just don't work as well as a joystick that is set in one spot. This emulates the feeling of a controller joystick that doesn't move around. Also - shortening the app name so it fits under the icon would be nice. Sadly, SQE usually doesn't see any feedback and if I email them, they don't listen. And their best mobile rpg Chaos Rings 3 broke on ios13 and they won't bother fixing it. I wish SQE took more time to show they cared about their mobile customers. ### 4/5 — Crashes *2021-01-01* This game has crashed on me three times already, causing me to lose progress. ### 4/5 — The game crashes all the time. *2020-04-17, version 1.0* Hi, I am playing the game on iPad Air. It is slow and crashes every 15 mins play time. Sometimes, it crashed during boss fights or the long battle with no back up saves. Please have it fixed. This is a really good game :) Always a fan of Squaresoft, Enix and now Square-Enix. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Great game, cloud is buggy *2020-03-25, version 1.0* Cloud sync keeps failing and saying I’m not connected regardless of being on wifi or 4g ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great story Amazing battle system *2024-08-10, version 1.0* I decided to try the SaGa series as I’m a long time Final Fantasy and Mana fan. I was recommended that Scarlet Grace is a good entry point as it has a tutorial system to explain the game mechanics. The battle system is alot different than I’m used to and took a few hours to really get the hang of, but once it all started making sense I was hooked. Recommend for more experienced RPG players who want more of a challenge than the average turn based JRPG. Very satisfying non linear game. If you give it a chance and have some time to really work out proper strategic battle planning it becomes addictive. Highly recommended (for more advanced RPG players) ### 5/5 — Secret to quitting fake games / p2w games *2024-03-20, version 1.0* What a wonderful game that made me disregard the daily giveaways from p2w / p2normal / pay and pay / fake games. I was wondering why there aren't much reviews for saga scarlet. I suspect everyone is busy grinding skills or enjoying the combat or ng+. There are 4 different POV / characters which kinda aligns with how much hand-holding you would like. Challenging game mechanics, good graphics, and does not take up more and more space every month. Probably the best of the saga glimmeringbulb series for me in terms of graphics and replayability. This is probably the only rpg in the entire world where the poison, guard, and mage role makes any sense. ### 5/5 — Best game EVER! *2024-02-28, version 1.0* I have gotten more enjoyment out of this game than any other that I have ever played. I’ve played a few. GameStop manager for almost a decade, so I have other games to compare it to. I put it down for a bit, but always pick it back up. Multiple characters to play through as. So much to do! Can not wait for the sequel, Saga Emerald Beyond releasing April 25!! ### 5/5 — Couldn’t stop playing *2023-10-20* Beat ultimate final boss, Grillmaster Well Done Steak Prime. Still can’t stop playing. Please help me. ### 5/5 — The best battle system in the series *2023-09-16, version 1.0* Im a long term fan of the series and Scarlet Grace is one of my top favorites. ### 5/5 — Most fun I’ve had w and RPG in FOREVER! *2020-08-23, version 1.0* This is the best combat system I have ever played! Simply stunning. ### 5/5 — 모바일에서 이정도면 *2020-04-27, version 1.0* 전투방식도 신선하고 재미있고 다양한 스토리 전개방식이 좋았음. 폰에서 하기엔 텍스트가 너무 작어서 불편하지만 오래 즐길만한 게임임. ### 5/5 — One of the best rpgs of th decade *2020-03-01, version 1.0* This is one of the best rpgs out there. Thankfully it's on iOS now ### 5/5 — The Antidote to F2P RPGs *2020-02-22, version 1.0* The battle system in this game really shines — you can start by just spamming attacks, but you will need to read all the tips to get the most out of the timeline, counters, attributes, roles, etc. Being a Japanese game, it does not do much hand-holding but expects you to discover much of the nuances yourself which could be aggravating but I find very gratifying. This is a breath of fresh air compared to F2P titles with anemic battle systems, paywall and gacha mechanics. It’s nice to be enjoying battles as opposed to all the other busy work f2p titles need. I haven’t see any prompt within the game to review it, which may explain the low number of reviews. ### 5/5 — Wow *2020-02-17, version 1.0* Amazing game. Have never played any saga games till releasing on ios. These games are amazing imo. Love the openness and replay value. Highly recommend these rpgs to any final fantasy lover. Please keep the saga ports coming. Love premium rpgs --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
