I’m at max player level and there isn’t much to do outside the daily tasks that can be done in 2 minutes. Also please add controller support for mobile I know PC supports it ### 2/5 — The battle pass sucks bad *2026-05-17, version 1.9.0* My only big gripe is the battle pass has no real skin it’s still just a background for your main menu which makes it pretty pointless especially when it’s like 20$ ### 4/5 — Overlooked *2026-05-11, version 1.9.0* Smooth game play, decent hack and slash no loot unfortunately. Gacha is mid. Skin in battle pass is mid. I do wish they had a mode for a continuous dungeon instead of just square then elevator. Like Diablo. Game got some good music ### 3/5 — Норм *2026-05-10* Игра хорошая, на контент не успел но жду новый, не хватает русского **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We will recommend it to the related department. If you have any other suggestions on how we could improve and enhance your user experience, please don't hesitate to share them with us.

The devs should add more content for player engagement! ### 4/5 — See below *2026-02-17, version 1.4.0* Unfairly review bombed ( 2) not to be confused with one with no number - changed now update UTC plus 10 - can play without an email address - I have a GMAIL account (this intellectually disabled player wants to know what the difference is if any ?) ### 3/5 — It’s OK. *2026-02-09, version 1.4.0* I LOVE YOSTAR! Don’t get me wrong. But what actually is this game? TLDR: It’s aight… I want to play more but there’s no compulsion to do so. Gacha: maybe the greediest gacha of all time. In any instance, at least in the limited banners, it’s a 6% chance to get ANY character and 1 of that 6% goes to the featured character of the limited summon. Which is cool. Not bad at all, other than the fact that you’re not getting pitied until 150 summons AND getting gems after lvl 20 is sluggish Story: purely a means to get gems. However, the story is actually pretty nice! I love ch 4 and 6. The way the characters interact with the mc is just delicious. And the paths and decisions they implemented make it kind of fun to see what happens… in chapter 6 at least. Community interaction: so far? None. Not even a guild system. Friends? Yes, apu, but no chats or anything. Can’t even know if someone is actively Online. Wild work. An in game community makes or breaks a game. We’re looking pretty broken rn. Combat: fun! A lot of visuals are great and the kits are comfortable. However, the fight is almost never against the enemies and more against time. The goal is to 3* these thicc trials over anything. They don’t actually pose threat. Plus and a minus. I do like that different builds can serve different purposes, so it’s not like there’s NO reason to explore all sides of a character. Progression: levels, unlocks, and playability just sucks. You unlock some trials that you can’t even 3* until you unlock a higher ascension. Max a character and ya can’t even do anything with it. Iykyk. It just doesn’t flow right it’s really hard to describe in words. And dude they give you a lvl18 record for the 4* characters right? At lvl 15 acct lvl… Yeah you’ll be using that and only that, rendering any other character lowkey useless because you cannot make a team as strong or stronger for a good bit. (You get access to like lvl14 record max at acct lvl 15. Crazy displacement.) in short. It DOESNT FLOW AT ALL. And when you finally reach a point where things stabilize, it just takes ages to get everything together and get a flow going. It’s just… icky. Stamina & rewards: progression section is too long, so here we go. THE STAMINA IS SO SMALL AND THERES SO MUCH TO DO BRUH!!! Like we have 0 Stam. On top of that, you gain NO RESOURCES for doing EVERYTHING. This ties back to progression cause dude how am I trying to upgrade my lvl 60 characters but I have to spend 400 stam to get enough xp to get ONE to 70. Are we serious? Increase drop rates by maybe 30% and it’ll be balanced cause the trials are WAY to expensive and they give NOTHING!!! You’re forced to move as slow as a slug cause you get nothiiiing and have no stammmina. Overall: I’ll keep playing just cause it’s YOSTAR. I’m a devoted customer. I do like that you do so little that it becomes low commitment, and I like that a little. Otherwise, the game is kinda bad. Pretty ok. ### 4/5 — Good for story, not for gacha *2026-02-02, version 1.4.0* The reviews on this game seem mixed, with some who adore the story and some who loathe the gacha rates and lack of free pulls. I personally lean towards the former, as the story - Spoiler alert for story - raises interesting questions about what it means to own a soul in this world. Nobody really knows here, and the one person who might refuses to disclose information until you get more souls. Right now the story is small with 6 chapters that can be beat in 2-3 days. As the story continues to grow, I know the gacha will become more important to progression, but I don’t feel equipped to speak on the gacha given that I didn’t really care about it and as such did not investigate the claims being made about it. Progression was fine regardless, but only because of free energy items. (Yes this game has an energy system) I always have plenty of XP to level up my characters, but getting tier up materials is harder, as the fights to get them cost energy. Designs are great, no matter why you care about them. Tl;dr it has good story but isn’t really worth playing once you’re caught up with it. I hear gacha is bad but you don’t really need too much of it to progress. Oh yeah meta is to go all in on one element Ok imma go into hibernation until chapter 7 releases byeeeeeeee ### 5/5 — Pretty good game. *2026-01-29, version 1.4.0* Stella Sora is a pretty good game all things considered. The gacha is pretty generous in the sense that it is pretty easy to get the currency for it by completing missions and the story itself is pretty high quality all things considered. That isn’t to mention the frequent CGs are amazing without decreasing in quality and the fact that almost every Disc has a song that accompanies them shows the sheer level of effort too. The gameplay loop is somewhat similar to a certain horsegirl game, however the gameplay itself is pretty common in certain rpgs but is not boring due to other aspects such as the map having mechanisms to decrease your HP as well as get different bonuses when climbing the Tower. Overall it is a pretty decent game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Best game I love it *2026-07-29, version 1.13.0* I love the game yostar thank you for literally giving me nothing when I summon thank you so much I will give you a EOS to you for always giving me nothing on my summons ### 1/5 — Bare bones nothing *2026-07-21, version 1.13.0* There absolutely nothing in this game, barely any content ### 1/5 — Rigged rates *2026-06-30, version 1.9.0* Been playing since 1.07, outside my first banner I have never pulled a 5*, not even an off banner in hundreds of pulls in the 5 patches I been playing. I had to go to hard pity on both standard banners multiple times too. Yostar should be investigated for their rate manipulation. ### 1/5 — Greedy subpar game *2026-05-10, version 1.9.0* star. ... The game sold me what looked like an actual in-game character skin, but it turned out to only be a menu wallpaper. The advertising was misleading. When I contacted support because the "skin" wasn't working, they just pointed to the fine print and refused a refund instead of trying to help. Beyond that, the game itself has a lot of problems: • The grind to build characters is ridiculous and feels instead tentionally stretched out. • The gacha system is extremely greedy. • Story feels bland and directionless with very little emotional impact. • Resource gifting and progression systems are limited or locked behind paywalls. • There honestly isn't much to do in the game overall once the novelty wears off. • Al-generated art is heavily used everywhere and gives the game a cheap, soulless feeling instead of a handcrafted style. Overall the game feels more focused on monetization than creating a rewarding experience for players. I can't recommend it. ### 1/5 — Why two protagonists? *2026-02-25, version 1.4.0* What’s the point of having two protagonists if only one gets featured on promotional material? ### 1/5 — Audio focus forever turned on *2026-02-02, version 1.4.0* If there’s one thing I can’t forgive, it’s mobile games that have this feature. I listen to audiobooks, podcasts, and music. I understand you guys want us to listen to the music u so painstakingly put together, but no I won’t. There’s no option to turn it off, it forever has audio priority. Bad decision on the devs part ### 1/5 — Игра не работает *2026-01-20* Ура **Developer response:** Dear player, We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue. The performance of the game is a priority for us and something we will continue to optimize. To further investigate the issue, please contact our Customer Service with more details. Our CS e-mail address: StellaSora.cs@yo-star.com. ### 1/5 — Dialog auto skips quickly *2025-12-28, version 1.4.0* Just installed the game and The dialogue in the game skips automatically and very quickly. Unreadable. ### 1/5 — You play as a character. It fires itself. Pulling this toy is like asking for it; you just move it. *2025-12-25, version 1.4.0* 😤👎 ### 1/5 — Fake 5 star reviews *2025-12-23, version 1.4.0* You can tell all the 5 star reviews are fake because they sound non realistic almost AI generated. Anyone that plays the games knows this game lacks content and resources. Is a casual game to play for 5-10 minutes nothing more. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sugoi kawaii *2026-08-18, version 1.13.0* Sugoi kawaii ### 5/5 — Women *2026-07-22, version 1.13.0* 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Most people say this game is bad *2026-07-22, version 1.13.0* I don’t know why :( ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2026-07-19* Very good gameplay, beautiful designs, very entertaining gameplay. 10/10 ### 5/5 — the game is great *2026-06-10, version 1.9.0* The story and the gameplay are just fine. The gacha system is perfectly usable. As far as everyone complaining about it being too expensive. May I remind you that it cost double for both Enfield and honksi Star rail gacha pulls. plus with all daily rewards and events you get enough for a least two free pulls. ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2026-06-07, version 1.9.0* Such a good game I really enjoy ❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Easy to get all characters *2026-04-16, version 1.9.0* The game is very generous and F2P friendly and many F2P players have every character so far. The gacha system is fairer than other games like Arknights or Hoyo. And they’ve given out 300+ pulls for the standard banner already and I’m already maxed out on dupes of one of the standard characters. The story is also great, with great writing and an overarching plot, and it feels pretty reminiscent of a proper JRPG story wise. The music is also wonderful, and it’s on par with Blue Archive for soundtracks to vibe with. Gameplay wise, it’s a lite vampire survivors-lite type of game, with gameplay keeping bite sized mobile gameplay in mind instead of something grander like a console game. New content for gameplay is also slow to nonexistent at times, so it’s not something with a lot of casual staying power. Overall I recommend it, but really only if you enjoy the story, characters, and lore. Gameplay seems to be a secondary focus at the time of this review. ### 5/5 — Actually f2p friendly *2026-04-16, version 1.9.0* No idea what these review bombers are on about? Yeah so u had trash luck and had to hard pity. Welcome to gacha. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-03-28, version 1.4.0* Gameplay loop is fun and there’s no time wasting design. Feels like a step up from idle waifu gachas. Characters are have good designs and the story is easy to follow. The music and art in this game is great. The game got lots of hate but true weebs should know western gacha players have bad taste. ### 5/5 — Casual fun game *2026-03-28, version 1.4.0* Great sexy and cute l2d . Fun story and charathers with fun not to grind heavy rogue content . Choices u make in story affect the story routes . And male mc with a face.
