Service and tech support are horrible. After several months of play and financial investments I needed customer and tech support (two separate occasions) after several attempts and weeks without a response… Good game horrible customer service and tech support. My suggestion is have fun playing but DO NOT spend any money. No service, no money… ### 3/5 — My experience *2023-03-29* The gameplay does somewhat of its job but there are still some bugs. I am also unable to get back in my game after a week of playing. Pls find a way to actually fix this **Developer response:** Hi dear, so sorry for the unpleasant experience, we'll optimize our little bugs one by one !~ And if you want to retrieve your account, please send the information of your account to cs@lauragames.com. Thank you for your support ~ ### 3/5 — Gets boring *2023-03-03, version 2.4* Played for half a year and I’m pretty much done. Extremely repetitive. Art is great but the animations are buggy, clans are dead unless you’re in the top two and yeah it’s p2w. ### 2/5 — Worth it for a little bit. *2023-02-21, version 2.4* The game is fun after the how tos, then pretty much everything becomes repetitive and doesnt really go anywhere. The summons section gives the same old SR or R characters so you can use all your summon cards and red diamonds and never get the good ones. Another issue I noticed is that Android and Apple have completely two different game plays. Andriod has the uncensored play and I believe the soul tears are also censored in Apple as well. So you can sit in your seat all the little long days on Apple and never get the full experience. ### 2/5 — this game has a big problem *2023-02-13, version 2.4* Why does the firepower of the ios bedroom fill up, but the animation of the characters does not change. In the Android system, the characters will become more sexy and interactive. ### 3/5 — Good but with caveats *2023-02-04, version 2.4* At Face value, i mostly like the direction of development. Yet seemingly trite, but serious, flaw has caused me to quit playing. The account retrieval and migration features leave much to be desired (after repeatedly trying to log into my original account, i still haven't succeeded... And it won't even let you attempt an account retrieval before you complete the ENTIRE tutorial, which is ... .. .... 30-45 minutes long! And if you attempt fails, you may wind up having to uninstall and do the entire tutorial again, just to make another futile attempt to retrieve your account. This seriously needs to change. ### 4/5 — Great game, please add character back story! *2023-02-01, version 2.4* I love the game, and wish to become more intimate with characters available through “date”. Character back story's would make me download and continue to play the game. Caim is my favorite character and not being able to have her in “bedroom” is a huge loss. I am grateful for the teams hard work, thankyou ### 3/5 — It look the same as Illusion Connect *2022-12-09, version 2.2* It look the same as Illusion Connect which is a different game. Some of the character you see in the game are from Illusion Connect. The gameplay are the same. **Developer response:** Hi dear, sorry that we didn't meet your expectations😥~Actually Shadow Brides is our second work after Illusion Connect. And we've made lots of efforts to present something different in this gothic adventure~ We'll keep optimizing, thank you for your comment and have a nice day!~🥰~~ ### 3/5 — My experience *2022-11-02, version 1.9* The gameplay does somewhat of its job but there are still some bugs. I am also unable to get back in my game after a week of playing. Pls find a way to actually fix this ### 3/5 — Does anyone now how to do this- *2022-11-02, version 1.9* On the level 4.12 Deceive I keep murdering the girl but it keeps telling me to do it over again. I’m pretty sure I have to do it 12 times and it says I did it 4/12 and it won’t go up every time I kill them. **Developer response:** Hello dear! Soooo sorry for the inconvenience that may cause to you! Please try restarting it again and find if it is normally processed. Hope you enjoy our Halloween Event🎃 ### 2/5 — Can’t even login for an entire day *2022-10-25, version 1.8* I’ve been trying to play all day but I keep getting error code-1 literally all day and now I’m gonna miss out on the daily things, why??? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Simple *2023-02-03, version 2.4* Was ok game until it crashed and I lost everything. Not worth the time ### 1/5 — Okay um *2022-12-10, version 2.2* I genuinely likes this game, then the "bedroom" features unlocked. Pls the game WAS so good until then ### 1/5 — Tutorial *2022-11-04, version 1.9* I don’t know how many people agree, but forced tutorials are the worst. Your tutorial is worse than most. I have no clue what the story is about, because I started to skip all dialogue so I could get some freedom. I’m narcoleptic and literally fall asleep when bored and so it’s taken me over an hour to complete since I LITERALLY can’t play without dozing off. **Developer response:** Hi dear, we've received your feedback and so sorry that we didn't meet your expectations. The optimization of our storyline and the tutorial will be made soon, please wait for our good news~! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2022-10-27, version 1.8* Lots of potential for this game, unfortunately someone in management came up with the genius solution to reset server progress on a wide scale because of a bug. Whole server has been reset 2x now a total of 3 days progress completely wasted because apparently getting a mediocre increase in free stuff deserves to just rob players of 3 whole days of gameplay. I never write reviews but I’d prefer to warn others before they waste their time with a game that will literally just delete your progress whenever they feel like your progressing too fast. **Developer response:** So sorry for the unpleasant experience🥺We've made a really bad decision about the rollback. Laura sincerely hopes that you could give us another chance to make up for our previous mistakes and this knid of situation will never ever happen again.😭 ### 1/5 — Too many rollbacks *2022-10-26, version 1.8* I was enjoying the game until they rolled back my progress twice in two days. Bugs are expected, but stop taking back peoples progress as your response. ### 1/5 — Scammers!!! Full of bugs *2022-10-26, version 1.8* Please listen to me… do no play this game. I don’t normally write reviews, but this one is bad… full of bugs, and customer service is horrible. Game had glitches and instead of fixing it, they roll back all the data to previous date, and did it again because their so call “compensation” was sent in error. Not only did user not getting their money back on the in-game purchases, all the partners/heroes are back to their original stats. This is a fraud and a scam… don’t waste your time! **Developer response:** We sincerely apologize to you for the unpleasant experience caused by the recent maintenance!😭For players who made purchases before the rollback, please don't worry, we will resend all packs back to you within 24 hours. We're really sorry for our lack of consideration and sincerely beg for your forgiveness and understanding😥😭 ### 1/5 — Similar gameplay *2022-10-26, version 1.8* The is so much like the game “illusions connect” where the tutorial is the same but just with different characters and it even has the same types of abilities too. Even the layouts similar to the point that it can be considered copying the other game ### 1/5 — The game unable to log in *2022-10-25, version 1.8* “Invalid request. Error code” can you fix it? ### 1/5 — All data gone *2022-10-21, version 1.7* Logged in today to all my data gone.. I’ve spent 70. (It tracks spending, you can view your total) dollars total in the months I’ve been playing.. it’s a 20 min tutorial everytime I uninstall and reinstall the app.. I’m devastated.. loved the game but that’s straight up theft. Be careful with this one. ### 1/5 — blatant ripoff *2022-10-13, version 1.7* game is a straight ripoff of illusion connect go play that instead of this trash plz it’s much better ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2023-04-12* I love the game it is fun collecting the characters. Leveling up is simple and easy. The graphics are cute. Maybe in the next update or in the future you can come up with a way to sell gears that we are not using i have hundreds of gears that are sitting in my inventory that i will never use. ### 5/5 — Very good *2023-03-26* I like how the story you have a goal,and there’s a lot to collect and upgrade,I like the games mechanic and how it works,keep it up by bringing more updates. ### 5/5 — Great *2023-03-01, version 2.4* انها It is a very wonderful game and contains very high and smooth graphics. Also, the characters in the game are very beautiful and drawn with high accuracy and elegant. I love this game very much and I hope that they add more features such as resetting the resources consumed on girls or witches and adding more costumes for witches with the addition of skills and characteristics for each outfit ### 5/5 — Good game… *2023-01-21, version 2.4* Enjoyable game. Beautiful art on the partners and the soul tear photos are amazing. Love the gothic theme. Simple yet enjoyable systems. Pretty Balanced. The game doesn’t nickel and dime you which is good for immersion and player base longevity. My only concern, or hope, is that the developers finish and release all the “coming soon” content. It’s a good game with great potential, don’t let that go to waste. We, as the players and supporters, would appreciate all that content, and any more like costumes, new partners etc…that may be to come in the future. Good job though. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2023-01-17, version 2.4* Love the colors and artwork! ### 5/5 — WAS enjoying your game… *2022-12-25, version 2.3* Attempted to bind my account and essentially just erased it. I got a new iPad and was trying to get the account from my phone to the pad and failed miserably. I was in the number 1 guild on the server and had all brides to 105 or higher 4 of them were at 135 and I only needed 4 more brides to complete my collection until y’all added more. I don’t have the heart to begin again which is a shame because no game has captivated me like the art in this one in a very long time. Ty for the time I did have and I wish you luck in your development and success. In the future the transfer and binding of accounts should be more explained and straightforward to prevent anything like this from happening to others. ### 5/5 — Best *2022-12-13, version 2.2* Best game and sexy women ### 5/5 — Too much tutorials *2022-12-03, version 2.2* I saw this game on tik tok and i wanted to download it im playing it and it js gives so mych tutorials and im not gonna lie your game is really awesome i love the game but it has to much tutorials ### 5/5 — good game however R34 exists *2022-10-28, version 1.9* lets get to the point the game us fun, amazing, and has endless replay ability but im not gonna lie. Your game is rule 34 ticking time bomb since they already got refantasia time can only tell my friend, time can only tell and i personally thought games like this and refantasia wouldn’t get affected but here we are, but if you don’t know what rule 34 is welp GOOD LUCK **Developer response:** Yep, we know what R34 is... And optimizations will be made accordingly. Thank you for your support and feedback~ ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-10-11, version 1.7* Reminds me of another game I used to play, illusion connect. It’s a good game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
