A clunky experience Overall game art and everything else is great, just wish the UI is much smoother by all means. ### 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 ### 3/5 — アイテム購入ができない *2024-03-02* iPhoneでのプレイです。 音楽とかディティールが良いので気に入ってますが、アイテム購入の際に決済ができずに弾かれます。残念… ### 2/5 — プレイ3分に一回広告視聴催促エグすぎぃwww *2024-01-27* YouTubeで広告が気になり入れたが想像と違った 良い点を自ら潰してるゲーム 買い切りにしたら広告費で稼げないもんな 良い点 着眼点は悪く無い ピクセルキャラによるシューティング寄りのラインディフェンスで直感的で遊びやすい作り 以下 悪い点 ステージ攻略中3分に一回は広告視聴をさせようとして来る とりあえず広告削除が必須の害悪タイプで削除しなければ 最早プレイを妨害するレベルでし 単調 文字通り単純作業で面白みが全くない 目に見えるカスタム要素の欠如 ◯◯％(グラに全く変化のない強化)を上げるだけの強化で 弾道、弾数、散弾や爆破物と言ったグラフィック的な変化は殆ど無い コスチューム 金かけて変えてもプレイ中見るのは背中だけと言う扱いの酷さ 横ラインディフェンスなら見る楽しみもあったろうに ちなみに装備画面でしかコスチュームをじっくり見るタイミングない ヤル気の無い装備品 個別にグラはしっかりしてるが数字以外に変化する所は無い 相反する要素の組み合わせ レベルx wave制なので自由度が全く無い ### 2/5 — Eh *2024-01-10, version 578* Really not a fan of games that over monetize progression. ### 4/5 — Levels *2024-01-01* The games fun but it would really benefit from a longer mode other than the set standard levels that are all the same length so you can really get a full upgraded party. Some endless mode with a leaderboard or something would be amazing just so we can see a maxed out party for once. ### 3/5 — Entretenimiento complicado *2023-11-22, version 542* Me gusta el juego está muy entretenido a pesar de que no sea español no me importa lo que si me importa es que tiene algunos problemas como: los anuncios aveces no te dan recompensas y los anuncios aveces te obligan a cerrar el juego y perder energía. Por eso le doy 3 estrellas pero si no tuviera esos bugs le daría 4 estrellas no 5 porque siento que faltan algunas mejoras para la supuesta perfección ### 5/5 — 꾸준히 발전하는 게임 *2023-11-08* 업데이트가 느려서 그렇지 꾸준히 업데이트하면서 안좋았던 점이 개선되는게 보입니다. 감사합니다 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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。 ### 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! ### 1/5 — Dead Game *2024-03-06, version 584* Game is dead, and its community is completely dead due to too many p2w aspects. Not gonna be surprised if they shut down the server next day 😂 ### 1/5 — 컨텐츠 너무 부족 *2024-02-07* 출시 초기부터 쭉 해왔는데 컨텐츠가 너무 부족함.. 업뎃도 늦고 편의성은 박살이긴 해도 다행히 유저 의견이 조금은 반영되는 건가 싶긴 한데 스토리도 없고 계속 추가되는 게 옛날에 했던거의 연장선 수준이라 몰입하거나 새롭게 즐기거나 할 수있는 게 없음 게임 구조상의 한계인건지 창의력 부족인지는 모르겠으나 어쨌든 질려서 한두판 하고나면 걍 끄게 됨 ### 1/5 — 相変わらず *2023-12-31* 何度も改悪アップはするものの、初期からある右側に味方を配置する事が出来ないバグを放置してる。これはiPhoneのみの仕様なんですかね？一定の面をクリアして解放となるのに全く解放されない。 ### 1/5 — 一ヶ月ログイン不可 *2023-12-08* 不具合報告場所もないしいつになったら再開できるんだろう？ ### 1/5 — ログイン出来ません *2023-11-17* 1週間くらいサーバーに通信中から進みません 何も不具合を報告出来る場所がないので困っております ### 1/5 — Server dead for days *2023-11-08, version 537* Cannot connect to server for few days, please help to fix it asap. ### 1/5 — jogo mal otimizado, carregamento lento *2023-11-07* o jogo aparentemente é legal, mas é impossível de jogar.. nenhuma parte do game é fluida, tudo que você clica demora um tempo p carregar seja no wi-fi ou no 4g. então acredito que é mal otimizado mesmo, é isso.. joguei um tempo mas essa falta de fluidez desanima qualquer um ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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。 ### 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 ### 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? ### 5/5 — 不具合が… *2024-04-17* 毎日楽しんでるユーザーです！ 「おかしなウサギ」の3番目の突破能力、即死発動率+24%が発動されない不具合があります！ 非常に困ってます。 修正お願いします！！！！！！！！！ ### 5/5 — 다 좋습니다 다만 *2024-02-14* 사실 도트야 말할것도 없고 업뎃 주기도 나름 괜찮은 편인거 같아서 좋습니다 하지만 이벤트를 연다던가 아니면 공식카페나 라운지등을 운영해사 유저들 모두 뭉치게 하는게 가장 시급해보여요. 하다못해 친구추가 기능이나 길드 기능같은 게임의 필수적인 요소마저 없는게 너무 아쉬워요.. ### 5/5 — かなり良いと思います。 *2024-02-09* 初期の頃にしばらくプレイして、しばらく離れて居ましたが…久々にプレイしたら各キャラの特性、パーティの組み合わせ、各キャラのコス一つにしても特性がガラッと変わるので試行錯誤するのが楽しめる。 ただクリ率上げてれば何とかなるといった仕様では無くなったので、今の方が楽しめてます。 ### 5/5 — Quite fun!! Shoot shoot shoot ! *2023-12-03* I just bought the Battle pass on 12/02/2023. The game is quite fun. Many cats / foxes / dragon to choose from. The sound effect is good so the battle looks snd sounds exciting. I am at chapter 11. It’s getting quite hard now. It’s a bit idle but you can aim yourself for better result. ### 5/5 — 재밌게 하는데.. *2023-11-22* 업데이트가 되도 접속은 여전히 안되네요.. 언제쯤 고쳐줄생각인지.. ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2023-11-11* I would love to see trinkets added to this game. 1 for each type of soul, and they can come in all different rarities just like the souls. The only way to get them is by playing the matching level ! So if you want a “fox trinket “ you have to play a fox level ! And they only drop white or blue rarity , you have to combine them to level up! ### 5/5 — Recent updates are good *2023-11-09* I like the ranking system and the steady roll up of new chapters format. You gave me EXACTLY what I asked for which was giving the damage numbers the “M” so I can read them better. Greta updates ! -Stoic 😉 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
