Best game ever

This game has so much story to it and so much grinding it’s so addicting

Absolutely amazing!

I LOVE this game! It’s absolutely amazing! It’s really fun, funny, and just challenging enough! I can’t congratulate the people who worked on this game enough! The only complaint I have is that this one time, I opened a platinum ticket, but the game glitched out and closed down just after it opened, and I lost the ticket and the uber. But other than that, I can say without a doubt, this is the greatest game I’ve ever played!

Best gacha game

Really good gacha game that stands out with it’s excellent gameplay. I really do enjoy this great game!

All the glaze for this game is correct

The battle cats is peak cinema please play this, it isn’t pay to win, your not forced to watch ads and it has cool gimmicks

Rng hell

This game is just RNG and some levels need certain cats to be even possible and guess what most of those cats need to be gotten through the cat tickets and guess what it’s a Rng so you won’t be guaranteed to get them also I barely get any energy in game so I barely can play
