### 1/5 — Really really want your money

*2026-05-14, version 598*

Way too much PTW gatekeeping.  I really wanted to give it a chance, but even the things you went through hard work aren’t rewarded, and since I didn’t want to pay money for such a low quality game, will be uninstalling the game after this review.

### 1/5 — 久々に開くと…

*2025-12-11*

久しぶりにやろうと思って開いたら一生サーバーと通信中なんですけどもうゲーム出来ないってこと？？
出来るようにして欲しい。

### 2/5 — Fun at beginning….

*2025-08-01, version 598*

.. but it gets to where you have to pay to get past lvls after a couple days of play.

### 5/5 — いつもありがとう

*2025-06-26*

微課金で最大の恩恵を受けられるゲーム。
他ゲーに毒されているのは承知の上で、永続のやつ買っておけば何も問題ない。ガチャは天井まで引かないと基本でませんが、シーズンパス買うと3000円くらいで1天井出来る。
対人もイベントも無いので個人の自由で進められるのがこの時代本当に神（人による）。あと攻略もないので自分で頑張るかランキング見て頑張るかです。

最終更新が8ヶ月前なのでもう何も無いかな〜と思っています笑。目指せボーナスステージ全クリアでやってます。

不満点があるとすればお試し機能がないことですね。引いてみたけどなんか弱い〜〜がよく起こります。精霊たちは全然良いんですけど、問題はプレイヤースキンです。これだけは購入を真剣に検討しないと...。あとガチャスケジュール出してもらえませんか？攻略サイトない唯一のデメリットかもしれない。

### 3/5 — It lags everytime choosing an option

*2025-05-14, version 597*

Its unfortunate each time I do an action (no matter watching ads, turning auto on or off, claiming a certain reward) it get stuck. A clunky experience 
Overall game art and everything else is great, just wish the UI is much smoother by all means.

### 5/5 — It’s fun!

*2025-04-28, version 597*

This game is great and not too complicated, but it lags everytime you click a button. I’d say it’s a hardware issue but it’s not, a blast otherwise

### 1/5 — Just wants your money

*2025-02-26*

Everything in this game pushes to spend you more 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵. No fun at all, just pure stress!

### 2/5 — Great Potential

*2024-10-06*

I really want to love this game, but it truly needs a lot of work.  First and foremost ... it's poorly coded.  The game frequently lags and hangs up, sometimes completely freezing, when clicking certain things.  Secondly, I have no idea what watching an ad for a chest mid-game does ... it doesn't show me what it gives me and there's no change at the end whether I choose the non-ad chest or the ad chest.   Third, information is a bit hard to come by.  I have no idea whether me (the player) or my souls have more power.  Who do I give the in-game level ups to?  Lastly, resources are a bit too hard to come by ... even when I do get new souls, I can't even level them up because I have no coin.

### 2/5 — Developers abandoned this game

*2024-10-02, version 596*

I did not mind paying for in game contents.
But NO NEW CONTENT/CHARACTERS/SYSTEM.
I guess they are done with this game

### 5/5 — Very nice just needs more care

*2024-08-29*

Please take more care of this game. You can get a chat, an alliance, frames more modes. More ads to get more players.

Are there any plans?
