### 3/5 — Lots of issues recently for IOS users

*2026-08-07, version 1.0.27*

Love the game but after just fixing the constant unable to connect to servers and now the game won’t even start, keeps putting us behind in the limited stuff that you all give out, hope it’s fixed soon!

### 3/5 — Severs been down a couple weeks

*2026-08-03, version 1.0.26*

Fun game to play but I’m not sure if the game is still up and running

### 1/5 — Can’t even play

*2026-07-12, version 1.0.26*

Saw the art style and was excited to play tales of Grimm again.  After waiting for over half an hour for everything to download it keeps telling me there’s more updates and to go back to the login screen.  Have tried repairing twice which included another half an hour for more downloads and I still can’t even get into the game as it keeps up with the same message

### 1/5 — Shady Company

*2025-12-20, version 1.0.26*

This company uses bots to advertise their game in the discord servers of other companies.  There is no chance they’ve legitimately gotten as many 5star reviews as what’s shown here with how bad this game is, so I’d assume they’ve used bots to boost their store rating as well.  I’d pass on this one.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-12-18, version 1.0.26*

It good

### 1/5 — Scam game

*2025-12-17, version 1.0.26*

Got randomly DMed in discord and was asked if I was gonna join the event. Then asked if I wanted to join their guild after buying the game. Once I got it they pressured us (talked with others) to spend money in the game to join the guild. My friend was getting sexually harassed by one of the players that recruited him and was sending fake explicit photos to try and coerce him into spending more money. These people obviously work for the game and try to trick people into spending ludicrous money. I have been DMed multiple times asking to spend "small amounts" totally over $100. Do not get this game these people are insane.

### 1/5 — Dev tried to catfish me

*2025-12-17, version 1.0.26*

So, what I originally thought was a player, the leader of the top guild in the game, kept trying to bully me into spending significant money on the game, when that didn’t work, I was messaged from a second account with the same tactics, then after a day, the main account sent me sexy pics and said if I wanted more photos, to go spend $200 in the game. Reverse image search showed the pics to be stolen from the net, and to the best I can tell, the 2 accounts have to be devs or why would they care so much if I spent money in the game? Really weird experience.

### 1/5 — Beware of discord scammers! Game is not kid friendly!

*2025-12-15, version 1.0.26*

Got a random friend request on discord, she (Tingting from China) acted confused about a question regarding a message in some game (acted like she messaged the wrong person) but ultimately seemed friendly and asked what games I played and then recommended getting this game and joining her clan. I got the game and enjoyed it for a bit before I hit a paywall and told myself I'm not going to spend any money on this game. When I talked to "Tingting" about it she kept urging me to spend money and buy packs cause it's easier to get what you want and advance faster. I ended up spending some money and I probably would have spent a lot more money but then "Tingting" kept trying to get me to buy "packs" from a site outside the regular game and kept pestering me about it so I looked up if it was a scam and lo and behold there are hundreds of people that went through the exact same scenario as me. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR SCAMS! 

The global chat in this game is also full of sexual harassment and terrible language! I reported the guy that kept telling people about his **** size and to suck his **** but they never did anything. Apparently they're all friends and are just trying to scam people out of their money.

### 1/5 — Odd

*2025-12-14, version 1.0.26*

Seem to be advertising by getting people to download it through discord DMs and supposedly after that try to get you to spend loads of money. Multiple Reddit threads saying the same thing.

### 3/5 — Fun

*2025-12-11, version 1.0.26*

Fun don’t pay
