### 4/5 — 有點難操控

*2026-03-19, version 2.0.4*

如題

### 3/5 — Could easily be a 5-star.. but UI and bugs with keyboards and mouse hinder it

*2026-02-10*

Really cool game, surprisingly addictive for what it is. The touch UI is serviceable, once you tweak the position and size to fall near where your thumbs naturally land. However its still not great, so I was hoping to control the game with my keyboard. Well… unfortunately it doesn’t seem to detect keydown signals right, because I have to press and release the move direction key for each tile I want to move to. Can’t just hold it down and keep moving :(

### 3/5 — Problem with a old favourite

*2026-01-28, version 2.0.4*

I got this game before the major update that caught it up with the steam version and it was a 5 star and I immediately redownloaded it after seeing a new version with a new class but for whatever reason I can start it up but it turns off instantly I’ve tried deleting other games redownloading it even uninstalling and reinstalling it or trying to use airplane mode everything but right after I start the intro it crashes I just think it’s a massive bug I don’t know how to fix it or what causes it but my guess is it’s loading too many sprites at once or it’s a sudden spike in everything at once so maybe adjusting settings from the menu would help I love the game siralim ultimate is one of the best mobile games I’ve played hands down but this crashing issue makes me unable to play it like I used too you are great devs I just want to be able to play it as I’ve played it sense I was 12 or maybe 13 and it sucks to be unable to enjoy a classic because of a minor crashing issue as soon as it’s fixed i would give it 6 stars if I could

### 2/5 — ugly and not phone friendly

*2026-01-09, version 2.0.4*

this game has an emulator style control scheme of two big buttons and a dpad to play which is jarring to look at, Plus the UI is like something from a early 2000s library app, and the game world is like a microsoft paint block with tiny pixel objects on it. 

 Maybe its better on PC

### 4/5 — 目前玩過最神的RPG

*2025-12-15, version 2.0.4*

有興趣的可以YouTube看一下其他玩家的評測，這款真的很神,美中不足的是字體不能調整大小，在手機玩眼睛看得有點吃力🥲

### 4/5 — Controller Support?

*2025-11-29, version 2.0.4*

I absolutely love this game but the lack of controller support is a little frustrating. Especially since it’s also not touch instead it uses a virtual controller.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-11-21, version 2.0.4*

This game is amazing I love it

### 5/5 — 面白い

*2025-11-07, version 2.0.4*

ひたすらコツコツ黙々とやりたい人向け。

スペックが足りないのかステータス変化系をいれると戦闘が遅滞するので、いれないほうがいいかも。

しかし重たいゲームだ。最新の形なら大丈夫なのだろうか

### 5/5 — 有正體中文

*2025-11-07, version 2.0.4*

台灣玩家請放心購買支持，非常滿意。

### 5/5 — 有繁體中文

*2025-11-06, version 2.0.4*

可以玩非常久的遊戲

### 5/5 — 한국어 지원함

*2025-10-20, version 2.0.3*

포켓몬스터 같은 턴제 전투인데 몹을 6마리 데리고 다닐 수 있으며, 몬스터마다 고유의 특성이 존재함. 몬스터 두 개를 섞어서 원하는 특성 조합을 만들어낼 수 있음. 선택의 폭이 매우 넓어서 플레이어가 원하는 조합을 만들어 가는 재미가 있음.

### 5/5 — Fantastic monster collector!

*2025-10-18, version 2.0.3*

There’s 1000s of hours of gameplay here. Systems on systems on systems to dive as deep as you want into. Definitely worth the money!

### 5/5 — 한국어 지원 됩니다

*2025-10-13, version 2.0.3*

스팀겜 이식해줘서 고맙습니다

### 5/5 — MOBILE CONTROLS ADJUSTABLE - Perfect iOS Port!

*2025-10-06*

I have over 600 hours in this game combined and I can say it’s 100% worth the price for the mobile port. 

Touch screen controls can be adjusted in the menu. Don’t like the size of a button? Change it.

Don’t like where that button is for your screen? Move it freely to where you want it.

Want a joystick instead of a D-Pad? Sure! I’ve got both, one for menus and one for ingame movement. 

Buy a fat phone case and now you need to rearrange the buttons again? Easy. Takes maybe 5 minutes then back to loot number go up good time.

Seriously, read all the other reviews for more details on why you should get this I’m just here to say that I don’t regret it. As a last mention, I also I bought this on Steam to support the devs and the cloud play feature works perfectly!

### 4/5 — お値段以上に楽しめる

*2025-10-04, version 2.0.3*

合体装備ジョブ固有特性
今日始めたばかりですが既に満足できるボリューム
しかもまだまだ新要素出てきそう

現時点日本語も対応してます
長時間プレイでもし重くなったらバトルメッセージ細かく設定できるのでオフにしてみてね
あとは一度アプリ閉じ

内容ボリューム含め文句なし星5っす

追記:今195階まで来たけどどんどんゲームが重くなってる🥹1階分クリアする前にアプリ落ちます
240階見たかった
それでもゲームが面白いので星4

### 5/5 — 面白い

### 1/5 — Trash Game

*2026-06-12*

No excuse for the amount of bugs and crashes this game has. Any battle that lasts any length of time runs the risk of freezing the app, and that’s if you don’t have an alarm or phone call that crashes this unstable mess. When it’s not flushing your progress you have the benefit of a useless option of showing the ‘battle history’ to see what happens on each turn, which would be nice if it wasn’t glitched with text overlapping and multiple actions being missing. Going to the discord to report a bug and the first thing you see is someone reporting basic menu options not saving. If you can overcome the awful starting control scheme you are rewarded with negligent garbage that’s a waste of your time and money.

### 1/5 — не могу играть

*2026-02-26, version 2.0.4*

нещадно лагает.

upd

дотыкал до окончания вступительной кат-сцены - вылетает. каждый раз. верните бабки

### 1/5 — 初期の場所からどこにも行けない

*2025-12-27, version 2.0.4*

何もできないただのぼったくり

### 1/5 — 和訳が適当すぎる…

*2025-10-04, version 2.0.3*

アイテムで『◯◯◯ Ⅰ』や『◯◯◯ Ⅱ』などグレートに分けられてローマ数字を使われてるがⅠが『◯◯◯ 私』と訳されていて萎える

### 1/5 — 主人公名

*2025-09-24, version 2.0.2*

主人公名選択画面でWASDと一生自動入力され続け、名前を自分で選択できない。削除をし続けても間に合わない速度で入力されていく。

### 1/5 — バグって名前変になる

*2025-09-24, version 2.0.2*

すぐにやめました…1500円返して…

### 1/5 — Good game, bad execution

*2025-05-14, version 1.1.1*

This game is absolutely great. Just not on mobile unless you use a controller. The onscreen navigation is horrible. Worst I ever saw in gaming. Just go play it on steam.

### 1/5 — Repeated crashes erase progress

*2024-08-22, version 1.1.1*

An enjoyable game that crashes repeatedly on an iPhone 13 running iOS 17, resulting in lost progress each time. Unplayable on this platform in its current state.

### 1/5 — Looks amazing, doesn’t work

*2024-02-08, version 1.1.1*

DO NOT PURCHASE

This game LOOKS amazing, but I got it and can’t get past the opening screen - it just freezes. I’ve not been able to play at all! I’m going to request a refund through Apple for this one. 

I tried downloading and reinstalling on both my iPhone (15) and iPad (10) 
, and restarting both, but it just won’t get past the load screen.

### 1/5 — Controls are too hard to use

*2023-03-28, version 1.1.1*

The game is making me use the screen like a controller, but it’s too sensitive and so I can’t select what I want. I don’t see an option to just tap the screen instead of using the on screen controller. 

I’m on iphone 13 mini. Maybe it would work better on a larger phone or something, but for me it’s not playable.

### 5/5 — Really great

*2026-07-19*

Update: I’m now around 15 hours in and it’s still awesome. If this sounds vaguely like something you’d enjoy don’t let the price stop you. This game is just so deep it’s hard to put into words. 


Original review:
I came to this game from slay the spire. Was looking for a strategy game with persistent character to advance. I initially dismissed it based on price and it sounded like the old Pokémon game. But honestly this game feels more like slay the spire mixed with something like Diablo. It is turn based which is great for this kind of game. But I’ve turned into a zealot telling everyone I know that’s it’s worth buying. I’ve got maybe 5 hours in and it does take an hour or two for it to click. My only request is that you could save the game mid-realm (dungeon) and have a more detailed breakdown of a battle to see all of the effects happening. But this is worth getting!

### 5/5 — Amazing little big game

*2026-05-10, version 2.0.4*

Just enlarge controls to 200% then make them invisible. Problem solved.

### 5/5 — Only Game I Play

*2026-04-25, version 2.0.4*

The forever game literally fixes all the problems people have today with predatory micro transactions.

Developer Note: Spicy Suds spell is missing from macro menu

### 5/5 — 재밌음 플탐 20시간인데 한참 남음

*2026-04-06, version 2.0.4*

편의성도 잘되있고 다회차 노가다 요소 잘 마련해둬서 깊게 찍먹할꺼면 2000시간도 가능할듯

### 5/5 — 助けて。

*2026-04-01, version 2.0.4*

最高に楽しいが、57Fのボスが倒せない。説明を見ても日本語が微妙でよくわからん。誰か助けて

### 5/5 — 齁勝

*2026-03-26, version 2.0.4*

遊戲內容很豐富，前期盡量快速通過63關，後面再慢慢完善陣容

### 5/5 — 精神時光屋

*2026-01-17, version 2.0.4*

內容非常豐富 前期需要摸索 建議多查一下法典 並且把設定調整一下後面就會玩很順 系統是漸進開放 玩幾百小時應該不是問題

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2026-01-04, version 2.0.4*

You know that feeling of playing your first Pokémon game? That’s it. Just play it, don’t research too much, just enjoy the noob phase and soon enough you will be addicted. Cheers!

### 5/5 — Best monster taming game since Pokémon gold and silver.

*2025-12-26, version 2.0.4*

Love the game but can not update from 2.0.38 to 2.0.4 on my iPhone.
