### 1/5 — No servers?

*2025-12-21, version 2.1.6*

I can’t even begin to play. When I link an account I cannot continue because there are no servers.

### 1/5 — No servers

*2025-10-01, version 2.1.6*

I played this game over a year ago. Deleted it and wanted to replay it well when I go to replay it, I get a network error message and a select a server message but when I click on the select a server button there is no servers all it says is my server then it says no character found like seriously I think it is crazy I’m the only one having this problem. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max there shouldn’t be any problems with compatibility.

### 1/5 — 没区服

*2025-06-07, version 2.1.6*

让我选服务器但是我根本就看不到服务器

### 1/5 — Won’t let me select a server

*2024-09-23, version 2.1.6*

It won’t let me select a server to even start. It just says “my server” followed by “no character data”! 
Come on how does it have a 4.7 star review and it won’t even let people play the game. Before anyone ask yes I have max WI-FI. As for my phone I have an IPhone 15 Pro Max

### 1/5 — Account has disappeared.

*2024-08-12, version 2.1.6*

Beware, my account seemingly evaporated into nothingness and now I can’t log in at all.

### 1/5 — Randomly deletes accounts

*2024-02-09, version 2.1.6*

This was a good app but it has a problem with randomly logging you out of your account. At first it wasn’t an issue because I could close the game and open it and change the server as annoying as it was. But now it completely deleted my account that I spent money on! And on of that it won’t let you bind your account to Facebook for some reason

### 1/5 — Do not give money to app

*2024-01-06*

They sold off my banking info and then i got fraud charges on my bank account. I lost my month’s grocery and cell phone pay.

 (I paid a 1$ daily purchase which is how they stole it. I was trying to be kind and supportive starting out with one charge. They took advantage of it!)

### 1/5 — Chinese Code, Taiwan owner in Singapore

*2024-01-05, version 2.1.6*

No part of this is JRPG or A Japanese dev team. It’s yet another reskinned IdleRPG with no reason to exist. PASS.

### 1/5 — Cannot login

*2023-12-15, version 2.1.0*

Fake was working fine last night. However, when logging in today, I’m receiving some error message and I am unable to login. Please fix asap and I will update my review.

### 1/5 — Buggued

*2023-12-12*

I can’t not play, because is freeze the log

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-12-24, version 2.1.6*

Good game

### 4/5 — Off to a decent start and has potential

*2023-12-23, version 2.1.6*

I like the idea of idle RPGs, but I find that they rarely live up to what they promise. The Imp is the first one that I’ve actually liked, despite a couple of issues which I’ll discuss later.

First, though, there’s a lot that this game does right. The aesthetic is colorful and adorable, and I like that they went for cute and funny rather than dark and edgy. I really love how much it’s based off of East Asian folklore and mythology and makes all sorts of historical cultural references. I feel that the gameplay is well-balanced, with a straightforward yet fulfilling battle system. There’s always plenty to do and lots of events going on. And the game has an actual storyline to follow, which is great to see.

As far as downsides, the game’s English translation is really rough, like Google Translate could do a better job. It’s often difficult to understand what the characters are saying because the grammar is so bad. Also, some of the female characters’ outfits are a little immodest, and that’s one of my gaming pet peeves. I like that this game has a costume system, though, so I’d love to see opportunities to obtain more modest outfits for some of the characters.

These issues aside, I’ve been having a really enjoyable experience with this game and I think it’s off to a really good start. I hope the developers address the game’s weaknesses, and I look forward to what they have planned in the future.

### 3/5 — Freeze on start

*2023-12-15, version 2.1.0*

Good game but once you log out you can’t log back in. I can’t click start no matter how many times I force close the app.

### 3/5 — This game made me miss onmyoji yokai koya

*2023-12-13, version 2.1.0*

Pls this is irrelevant but I wish onmyoji yokai koya had a global server

### 2/5 — Lost account

*2024-01-14, version 2.1.6*

I played yesterday for hours and it was attached to my apple account but when I signed in today it restarted the game and I lost all my progress.

### 2/5 — its a good game

*2023-12-16, version 2.1.0*

### 2/5 — buggy :-(((
