### 4/5 — 面白いが飽きが早そう

*2026-05-19*

基本的に孤独ハードのほうが序盤で楽しめます
最強メンバーに編成しちゃうと簡単になるので自分で縛ったほうが良さそう
ただ編成時の装備の付け替えとズームがダルいです

ズームはアプデにて解決済み
一度やると名所巡りがダルくなりますね

### 5/5 — 長々と失礼

*2026-05-17*

好きな武将や姫を編成して戦っていくキャラゲーなRPG。

戦闘は王道のターン制のコマンド式。
戦闘内容は大味で、下手にバフやデバフを積んでる暇があるなら、メンバー全員が全体攻撃を放った方が早い。

やる事がただひたすらに戦闘だけなので、好きな人には刺さるが、飽きる人はすぐに飽きちゃうかも…。
自軍がどれだけ城を落城させようが、敵軍が自軍の城を攻めてくるような事はなく、一方的に自軍が全国の城を攻めて歩くだけ。
ここに何かテコ入れがあると嬉しい。
やり込み要素がアイテムドロップだけなのは、少し残念。

追記
アプデで操作性が改善されて、誤操作が減りました。
戦闘コマンドの位置記憶はプレイヤーによって好みが分かれそうですし、オプションでON/OFF切り替えが出来ると有難いです。

**Developer response:** ご指摘ありがとうございます。
戦闘のバランスについては、ノーマルモードはRPGに慣れていない方にも進めやすい難度としていますので、ぜひハードモードで遊んでいただければと思います。
仮想十字キーの配置と機能を調整し、拡大の誤作動を抑えるアップデートを行いました。よしよろしければお試しいただければ嬉しいです。

### 2/5 — 残念ながら

*2026-05-16*

コンセプトなどは好きなんだけど、いかんせんゲーム自体が単調で操作性も悪い。アイテムの違いもあまりわからず、個性があまりなく。つまらない。アイテムドロップは多いけど、一気に数を減らすことができないので戦闘のたびにいらないアイテムを捨てる(売る)感じ。お金もあまり使わない。お気に入りの8人手に入れたら、あとは戦闘をひたすらやるだけ。

300円程度なら購入して時間潰しにはもってこいのゲームだが定価1,000円越えは高い！

### 1/5 — 操作性悪すぎ

*2026-05-13*

ゲーム内容はなんだかおもしろそうですが、操作性が劣悪です
タッチ操作には対応せずデジタルゲームパッドでの操作のみです
スマホ版ならタッチUIあると思ってはいけないという教訓でした

**Developer response:** ご指摘ありがとうございます。
バージョン1.3におきまして、仮想十字キーの操作性をより高めるアップデートを行いました。よろしければお試しいただければありがたいです。
