I just wish it were easier to get the cards, if you play the game often enough then you can get the cards with diamonds as well so if you have diamonds ur all set! (๑╹ω╹๑ ) ### 4/5 — Amazing however.. *2023-02-20* This game is awesome! I love the characters and the plot of the story. However, after just a few days of playing it, the player vs player option started glitching out. I reset the app and tried to get in and now I can’t. After doing everything I could to get it to work again, I still can not get passed the log in screen. I think this might be a bug, I hope they can fix this. ### 4/5 — Great but bugging and pricey *2023-02-18* The story is interesting, but you would really have to strategize your limited resources. If your a f2p player it would be rather difficult to continue on into the story. But it is quite fun if you like the challenge. But after this latest update it won’t let me continue on into the story and I can’t level up my cards any further. It would also say I already used up all my interactions with the characters, which I haven’t. Please fix this bug I would like to continue playing this game 😭 ### 3/5 — Hard to progress *2023-02-18* The characters are amazing but it’s to hard to level up and there are too many materials needed to grow them. ### 4/5 — it’s great but… *2023-02-13* i love this game! it’s fun the story line is great as well as the side stories. and tho it is difficult to advance im very patient and have been saving up supplies for a while. however for some odd reason for the past 3 days i haven’t been able to do my daily tasks or raise my intimacy with the characters. it says I’ve already done all of them for both when I haven’t. please fix this issue 😭 ### 5/5 — wow! *2023-02-12* please rus 🧖🏿‍♂️ ### 4/5 — pretty great so far! *2023-02-08* the story line is definitely interesting. it’s easy to stay interested! of course the game is pricy, but so are most otome games and games in general. there are moments where i’ve had to refresh the app because it’ll freeze or glitch, but it’s not too often. once you get a general understanding of how to play it’s very fun!! i would recommend :) ### 5/5 — I- *2023-02-04, version 1.3.0* I Can’t believe I’m falling for plants 💀 ### 3/5 — Bugs spoil the whole game *2023-01-25* I like the gameplay, but bugs kill this game. I took first place in the PVP competition, but as soon as the gap from the second place is 10 points, the game crashes and it turns out to go only the next day. Because of this, I missed the 2 days of the event(((( ### 3/5 — Love the game but hard to progress *2023-01-24* Super fun game and an interesting concept!! The only problem for me is that it's super difficult to progress in the main story. The research levels progressively get way too hard too quickly. Grinding for supplements and card items will be an extreme pain if you're a f2p player like myself. Love the characters and the story, hate the grind. ### 5/5 — too sexy *2023-01-22* very good voice overs and art! would recommend! but too spice for a virgin like me had me blushing deleted it before i chose who i wanted >~< ### 5/5 — good but pricey ㅠㅜ *2023-01-18* the game is really great. the mini game is engaging and not too difficult and the storylines are rlly good. the developers did great creating it so i can understand the prices i just wish u could get more for dropping $30 on the in-game purchases. also love that there’s a female character rather than ALL men. vry fun and cute game ^^ ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-01-18* OMG this is so awesome!! Please make more of these !! I like the story’s and the character’s personality but it takes a really long time for me to get to the next level when I’m not leveled up. And I sometimes have to pay for the items to get to the next level. ### 5/5 — Love eve but.. *2023-01-16* It’s a fun new idea but it because it came tedious quickly the amount of attractiveness for the card and resources to build it plus each character needs their intimacy level up which cost a lot of money to raise is ridiculous. I drop $30 on this because Eve is adorable, but it’s unfair either make the drop rates higher and more or offer, higher rewards or less than the difficulty because I can’t even read the main story because the research level is so high ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pvp wouldn’t load in tutorial so i was stuck *2024-10-11* I tried everything i could but I couldn’t complete the tutorial because in Pvp it wouldn’t load and I couldn’t do anything. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — СЛОМАЛСЯ АЙПАД ИЗ-ЗА ЭТОЙ ИГРЫ *2023-03-22* Не скачивайте особенно на айпады. Я зашла в игру как в ничем не бывало а потом застряло и зависло все Я даже не могла выключить звук или же выключить айпад ### 1/5 — Not what I expected *2023-01-12, version 1.0.5* Can’t get passed the first screen where u start the prologue I deleted and uninstall nothing ### 1/5 — Second screen *2023-01-12* Second screen of tutorial and it points at nothing. Doesn’t work. ### 2/5 — Won’t work *2023-03-31* The game won’t work with me i try to type in my name it doesn’t click please fix your game ### 2/5 — don'play game. *2023-01-13, version 1.0.7* I can't open this game all the time, and I've been engaged in it many times. ### 2/5 — Arrow bug *2023-01-12* Right at the beginning of the tutorial said click where arrow is pointing but the arrow wasn’t pointing at anything so I can’t even start the story ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2023-10-17, version 1.9.2* I love the story of the game but I can’t make it past episode 3 for some reason. I don’t know how to fix this but I really want to finish the game. So please tell me how I can fix it !! ### 3/5 — I love this game! (Only eve) *2023-04-15* This game is so cool with various character cards (only eve), and the many story lines (only eve’s) and the interactions are just so steamy and cute! (Only eves.) personally my favourite character is eve. ### 3/5 — Free to download *2023-03-21, version 1.8.2* Unique concept, nice art, interesting enough story, and somewhat engaging characters. It’s definitely a background noise type of game if you are f2p; you’ll soon realize that’s it’s free to download but pay to progress, unless you plan to spend weeks grinding just to get through the third chapter and on. But even paying isn’t really feasible. The first chapter is a freebie, the second chapter is sluggish but unless you want to drop a lot of cash to get diamonds in a game where you need to have at least 300 diamonds each time you want even a CHANCE to get better items for the story, you may want to avoid this game. To put it in perspective: you can visit your LI and raise intimacy. The best way is to buy an item and give it to them. 1 GOOD item = 600 diamonds; 600 diamonds = $5.00 on first purchase and $10.00 on every subsequent purchase; 600 diamonds will get you around 50 intimacy. Intimacy is needed for higher scores. By chapter 2, 50 intimacy is not even going to get you a one star score, which means you fail and won’t progress. So you spent $5.00 or $10.00 and saw absolutely no progress in game. You can buy an entire AAA game on sale for that amount. For all the people with disposable income though, drop that $100 and make it to at least chapter 6….maybe. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2024-01-27* Wonderful game, super fun, interesting story. I like the characters, and the mc has good dialog options. Very f2p friendly, just make sure to grind <3 ### 5/5 — Wth *2023-09-21* I don’t see how people are giving this a low ah rating but from my experience I absolutely loved it. The men are so hot and Ivy is meh (Im straight so I don’t see any attraction to her) but other then that they all look great! I deleted it before because i didn’t want anyone seeing that I had it but I am getting it back because I am lowkey obsessed with the 😏 scenes. I really want more of the wish banner things no idea what they’re called but like I wanted one to be mother’s day related (yk like mommy) type of card in the wish system. Never happened which made me sad but understandable since it isn’t my game. I would absolutely love more if innuendos or dirty scenes because those are my favorite. To those who read this far, why? ### 5/5 — Топ *2023-07-20* Топ🧢 ### 5/5 — Hi *2023-04-23* Hiya this is my 3rd review but I had an idea that could be added to this game. So, through “draw” I used gacha pull 10x so I could get an SSR. But I got one I didn’t want (mainly because of the attribute), so I thought that if the developers could add a feature where you can exchange the SSR to a different one (out of all of the SSR cards from draw). I don’t mean trading within real people, just the game itself (so it’s safer). Plus, when you exchange, if you have upgraded it to any level, you can also get your supplements back (totally fine if not tho) And I really don’t mind paying coins and some gems to get the SSR as well (even hearts). But please don’t make it too dear. A good price example: Heli SSR - (will be converted to) Eve SSR, 100,000 coins or 150,000. 200 gems (so this is what I’d need to pay in order to get that SSR). I hope you understand and thank you for fixing my last review, have an amazing week. ### 5/5 — Yep *2023-04-04, version 1.8.3* Good lol ### 5/5 — Вроде всё ок *2023-03-31* Всё было отлично, но сегодня игра просто не играется. Я тыкала на экран и ничего просто не происходит. Это баг, или игра просто не работает? ### 5/5 — I love it *2023-03-20, version 1.8.1* I’m not to far into the story but the mechanics are easy to pick up, the voices are great and the story is steamy enough to make my heart race. ### 5/5 — It’s urgent! *2023-03-18* Please enter Russian ### 5/5 — Great Story *2023-03-06* I LOVE THE STORY SO MUCH it’s so interesting and keeps making me want to come back for more. The dates are also super cute and overall I love this game my only issue is it’s hard to play without buying anything like others have mentioned. ### 5/5 — English translation is not great *2023-02-23, version 1.6.0* As someone who likes this game maybe a little too much, I would 100% recommend giving it a try. However, the English translation it a little hard to understand at times, which is kind of immersion breaking. If they need someone to fix the English for free they could seriously hit me up it needs a few hours of work but nothing serious --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
