### 1/5 — Avoid, won’t take long to know why

*2023-02-18, version 1.0.39*

Pay to advance.  Once you start your server will be next to dead within two weeks.  Spend screens pop up all the time, slow evolve without spend, some characters will take you half a year to a year to max unless you spend, constant issues with power and skills:  your 15mil power above and waste someone, fight again right after and you’ll lose big.  You will have strong things on characters you worked hard for and someone with nothing on with low power will beat you. Really not worth the time.

### 4/5 — Good game, I’d like some help

*2023-02-03, version 1.0.39*

Says in the title, it’s a fun game with a good concept, and the lack of ads and little pressure for pay to win is a major plus. My only gripe is that the dub for the voice acting in the story is Chinese and I don’t seem to have an option to change it. Might be because of the server it popped in me in, isle of gods. I’m not sure if there is English dub for it in different servers and if so can anyone tell me which ones?

### 4/5 — Can’t give 5

*2023-01-23, version 1.0.39*

The one thing that stops me from giving 5 stars is the level requirement when progressing thru main line. Extremely Aggravating to have to stop playing because my level isn’t high enough but my power level is easily double the storylines and after 12 hrs of afk xp I get one level so only get to do 5 missions then stop again making completing a lot of the objectives for item/summons near impossible.

### 4/5 — This app is great, but needs adjustments

*2022-11-23, version 1.0.35*

This app is amazing and very fun to play.
My problem is when it crashes on me and ruins my game play.

Another one is it’s so hard to get some of the characters that it’s annoying.
I’ve played this game for a VERY long time and I’m still at 4.3m power and I haven’t even gotten Surla or dotty.
And I’d like if it would give out more free resources if available.

I waste millions of diamonds and mind crystals to get this stuff but it still doesn’t give me what I need. 
Meanwhile I’m getting all of these characters I DO NOT need.
It can be annoying.
So I was wondering if you could bring up the chances of getting the characters.

Overall this is an amazing game.

### 2/5 — Can’t Star Up Heroes

*2022-10-10, version 1.0.32*

This game was great for about 10 days. There was plenty to do without spending money and I really enjoyed the theme and graphics. I was having fun collecting heroes and leveling up. 

Then when I tried to star up (level up) characters, the starred up hero disappeared along with all the heroes I used to star them up. After the second time this happened, I reported the bug. I thought it was only affecting my dark heroes, so I tried to star up a light hero and everything disappeared again. When support finally got back to me, they were rude, dismissive, and unhelpful. They brushed me off and closed my ticket.  

Without leveling up my characters, I couldn’t progress much farther, so I deleted the game. If you experience this bug, no one will help you. 

I understand this is a new game. Bugs happen. All I wanted was assurances that the bug was being addressed. Now I will be spending my time and money elsewhere.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2022-09-29, version 1.0.31*

you've probably seen some odd ads for this game and like, so have i, thats how i downloaded it in the first place. but if you just kinda ignore the ads and focus on the gameplay, it's a really amazing game. the stories, art, user interaction, gameplay, all of it is wonderful. the gacha system is extremely user favorable and spending money isn't necessary, but more of a cosmetic thing. but i have definitely spent a lot on cosmetics because hey, their art is amazing. it's a port of a chinese game so you can look forwards (partly thanks to the discord) and see what's to come and i'm really excited for it. this is a really great game that ive played daily for a long, long time now. it's kept me interested since i downloaded it and i really recommend it.

### 3/5 — A little bit disappointed

*2022-09-12, version 1.0.28*

So I started off this game very hot and I loved it and my goal was to collect all characters in it and level them up and get limited skins and such. I love the characters designs and the stories of them and there’s so much to this game, you’re almost never not doing something. However that’s also a down fall there is SO MUCH in this game and it can be very difficult to keep up and continue to play. But when I decided to come back and continue playing- I found my entire account had been erased and the game forced me to start over, so upset enough I said screw that it was a lot of time put into a game just for it to be erased. So I uninstalled it, and wish the best to others playing it and committed to collecting and battling other players.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2022-08-18, version 1.0.28*

I think that this is a great game, for everyone saying that you got logged out and started over, that happened to me aswell. But luckily I just clicked switch account and got logged back into my old account with all my ressources and materials intact. That graphics a beautiful, and the plot is amazing. It really shows how much work you out into all the characters. The only thing that really bugs me about this game is that to get certain reasorces and privalleges you need spend money, that really annoying. But luckily takes of Grimm has a daily, weekly, and monthly free resource pack. It’s great that every month or so you guys do an update with either a new setting, changes in characters, new characters, and other things. Another thing I love about this game is that there are no ads! Thanks so much for that. This game is definitely one of the best games I have ever played and I hope that you keep updating the game! It really adds a new exciting thrill to the game when I go to log in and there is a letter stating the updates. 5 star game!

### 1/5 — Loading Issues and Game Crashing

*2022-08-15, version 1.0.28*

I played this game several moths ago and I randomly began having constant loading, freezing, and crashed. I love the art style, the characters, and the amount of free in-game resources. I recently downloaded it again and now the issue is somehow even worse after months. I cannot click anything without the game having to load multiple times. The game still crashes randomly too. There is nothing wrong with my connection and I have even tried my wifi, my data, and wifi in other places. Clearly I have tried uninstalling it as well, so now there is nothing left to try except writing this. I can also see many reviews from people with this same issue! Why don’t the developers care about fixing this beautiful game? Tales of Grimm is currently unplayable.

### 3/5 — Nice game but..

*2022-08-03, version 1.0.27*

The game is good only thing is some of the real people in game can be toxic, yes you can block them but as of today found out some will end up making new accounts. That wouldn’t be bad on it’s self true but some will try to gang up on you in some of the chats over anything you say. Just cause you vented about x y and z in chat and they think no way so much can happen to one person they will always hold it to your name and use it on you anytime they can even if you are not venting anymore. Cause of so much hate I made up my mind to get rid of my game. It really hurt to do so and I even cried, no matter who good a game is bad eggs in game and make others not have a good time and give it a bad name.
