Typical. ### 5/5 — Underrated. PLAY THE GAME WHILE YOU CAN! *2025-09-05, version 1.1.3* I’m super sad to hear this game is gonna be EOS in November because IT’S A GREAT GAME. I’m a new player but from what I’ve seen the story is unique/interesting and I love the gameplay. So sad it’s not more popular and about to be gone :( ### 5/5 — Don’t go *2025-09-03, version 1.1.3* Don’t go….please…l ### 3/5 — TOO MUCH PING *2025-09-02, version 1.1.3* Game is really great! Its story, gaming, art styles, character and place designs, quests, combat mechanics, etc. We can understand that you work really hard for making this game and you’ve done a wonderful job but there’s one thing that makes me feel so bored while playing this game and it’s the ping problem. Every time I tried to do something in game I should wait so long and I couldn’t enjoy the combats because of the lags. I just want to get much more smoother gaming than this please help me to enjoy while playing your majestic game. ### 5/5 — goodbye tribe nine! *2025-08-19, version 1.1.3* I was really excited for this game to come out,,for them to announce eos a couple months ago the story was great I loved the characters and gameplay ☹️ ### 5/5 — Tribe nine ending story *2025-08-09, version 1.1.3* I hope yo kuronaka & hinagiku akiba are best friends for a marriage! Game ends shut down soon ### 5/5 — Gonna miss this *2025-08-05, version 1.1.3* This game was honestly so fun, the gameplay was awesome and the characters are so cool, i truly can’t believe it’s shutting down like this already. Currency wasn’t the easiest thing to get as an F2P, but i still managed to get a good amount of the characters i wanted. This was a wonderful experience, and i personally hope that someday you could possibly bring this back or at least figure out a way around this roadblock, but i know that probably won’t happen. Thank you. ### 5/5 — SO FUN! (really sad that eos is near.) *2025-08-04, version 1.1.3* this game is so entertaining it’s such a fresh air compared to most gacha games that are out right now I love the style of the game. I love the colors. I just love everything about it. The music the story everything is just so different but in such a great way. i recommend playing it before it reaches the eos! ### 5/5 — Please give this game another chance, we don’t deserve this loss :’( *2025-07-30, version 1.1.3* PLEASE DONT EOS ON ME!! I was waiting for this moment, I enjoyed this game and so is the characters. The community is not toxic like Genshin impact and HSR because of the fandom, not gooner baiting and complaints. I love the game, please bring it back!! You can just promote it in advertising and make merch and bring back English VAs! ### 5/5 — PLEASE DONT SHUT DOWN *2025-07-24, version 1.1.3* please. PLEASE DONT SHUT DOWN. ### 5/5 — Unfortunate. *2025-07-18, version 1.1.3* I adore this game, so sad to see it going. :[ the concept was phenomenal and was executed perfectly. I love the gameplay and the storyline was so complex yet easy to grasp, you could understand it as it wasn’t over the top or confusing, but it did make the player thing and connect dots, I really hope they still do something with this rather than take it away completely, I’ve been waiting for this game for ages and to find out it’s being removed after it’s minimal time out is heartbreaking ### 4/5 — Love this game, but Sad it’s shutting down. *2025-07-14, version 1.1.3* I’ve been playing this game for awhile and have really enjoyed it. But when I found out it was shutting down November 27th of this year then I decided that I didn’t want to put any more hours into it because I won’t even be able to finish it. I haven’t enjoyed a mobile game like this in awhile so it was like a breath of fresh air. That’s why it’s unfortunate that it’s shutting down. It was fun while it lasted though. Thank you for a fun and exciting game. I’m sorry you have to shut it down. :( ### 5/5 — ハマった *2025-07-10, version 1.1.3* サービス終了決定後慌てて始めたダンロンファンです。 久々に自信を持って人におすすめできる面白い良質な国産ゲーム。こんなにハマったのはFGO以来かなぁ。 ストーリーは面白くかつ鬱な内容で、キャラが1番失いたくないものを失って行くお話。アクション面はモンハンです。総合的に高品質で非常に良くできてます。 コンシューマをソシャゲにしてくれて無課金にはありがたいですがサ終なんてとても悲しいです。小説でも良いからお話を完結させて欲しい。 悪い点はキャラデザ、プロモーション、野球要素。多分キャラデ良くしてプロモをもっとちゃんとやっていれば少なくともあと1-2年はできたと思います……。 サービス終了決定していますが、このクオリティで無料でストーリーとアクション、やり込み要素やるだけでもお得だと思います。面白いゲームを探してるなら是非プレイしてみてください。(戦闘面的にpcプレイ推薦　自分は落ちるのでケータイで戦闘やったことないです) ### 5/5 — good game *2025-07-05, version 1.1.1* I’m so sad I’ve been waiting since December to play this and I’m just now finding out they’ve announced EOS :( this game is super fun i love it pls don’t do it ### 4/5 — สนุกอยู่นะ *2025-07-02, version 1.1.1* ฉันชอบเกมนี่นะ แบบถ้าแปลเนื้อเร่องอ่ะสนุกมากกก ลายเซ็นก็ดันรอนปากะอ่ะ คือมันสวย แล้วเกมแนวพิกเซลกับเล่นสามตัวที่มีสองตัวมาตีช่วยอ่ะ หายากมากๆ แต่เสียดายที่โปรโมทเกมไม่ได้บ่อยหรือกาชาเรทสูงมากจนไม่ออกเลย เพชรก็หาค่อนข้างยากด้วยแหละ ไม่แปลกที่จะถูกปิด ### 5/5 — 可惜 *2025-06-24, version 1.1.1* 辯駁終會結束 ### 3/5 — Honestly genuinely interested *2025-06-21, version 1.1.1* The premises of this game is honestly quite unique for it’s genre (especially when you roam around) love to continue but my the game is super demanding in my Iphone XR. Recommend though needing a recap for returning players one day I will comeback playing this game in full when I have the chance with a more capable phone. ### 3/5 — Good game but.. *2025-06-20, version 1.1.1* It’s a very good game with a fun and unique gameplay. However i don’t understand why they decided to EOS the game barely 3 months in. Should have allowed it to shine more.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Well *2025-09-10, version 1.1.3* That didn’t last long ### 1/5 — The game is crash *2025-06-19, version 1.1.1* I use ipad gen9th and when I entered the game for less than 5 minutes, the game crashed. It had a problem after I finished playing until the scene where I met the MC's childhood, even though there was no problem before that. Why?? Help😭 I already repair game button but It's not help anything and everything it's low now ### 1/5 — Taking their money and starting another bad gacha *2025-06-09, version 1.1.1* Already EOS, don’t waste your time. Kaiju will probably EOS soon after release as well, it’s what this dev does often. Keep it up just long enough for people to spend some money on it, then pull the rug out from underneath them. ### 1/5 — Could have been grand *2025-06-05, version 1.1.1* Absolute idiot higher ups ruining a potentially godly game, devs themselves poured their hearts into this unique gacha and higher ups decided to not even bother giving them a year, let alone half a year to try and see a positive turn around from the rough launch. They Broke Tribe Nines legs before it even had a chance to crawl. Avoid everything from them. ### 1/5 — Fiquem longe dessa empresa (Akatsuki) *2025-05-21, version 1.1.1* O jogo era muito divertido, tinha uma das melhores histórias em um Gacha, personagens com bom desenvolvimento e carisma, música boa, arte do pessoal de Danganronpa (Too Kyo), mas a Akatsuki resolveu fazer um dos piores lançamentos da história, depois tentou corrigir de forma errada e ainda prometeu muita coisa no futuro. Aí umas semanas depois anunciaram o fechamento. E a maioria dos jogos q produziram no passado fechou muito rápido, muito cuidado com o novo jogo deles (Kaiju 8). ### 1/5 — Fraudulent *2025-05-20, version 1.1.1* Announce End of Service. They take monies, and goes. ### 1/5 — Flop *2025-05-20, version 1.1.1* Lol eos within 3 months is crazy work. Honestly deserved for screwing over the players day 1 and expecting us to forgive them. ### 1/5 — 他家的下一個遊戲是怪獸8號，快跑 *2025-05-19, version 1.1.1* 我很喜歡遊戲的劇情，但是營運把自己搞沒了。鞥現在官方就是裝死，我只能說快跑。 ### 1/5 — ㅋㅋ실환가 *2025-05-19, version 1.1.1* 100일 이전에 섭종ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 부조리 도시 액션이라는데 게임 운영이 부조리네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ### 1/5 — 剛買月卡就宣布倒閉⋯傻眼 *2025-05-18, version 1.1.1* 才很期待劇情⋯搞這齣⋯就像剛在一起就打臉提分手！前面的花的時間與努力都是小丑🤡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So happy they made this goodbye amazing game *2025-12-11, version 1.1.3* I got all of my friends on this game and we all loved the art style and how they game was I’m so sad it shut down ### 5/5 — Lost potential *2025-11-27, version 1.1.3* I will miss this game so much. This game could’ve been so much more. The style of the game, the art, the story was so fresh. I truly will miss you tribe nine🥹💔 ### 5/5 — Goodbye… *2025-11-27, version 1.1.3* It was nice knowing you. ### 5/5 — Why Termination?! *2025-11-19, version 1.1.3* Why is it that when I find a rpg game I actually like I find out it’s terminating this month?! Seriously it’s good and the danganronpa artsyle is my fav 😔 I like the battle mechanics and I don’t find much games where I enjoy the battle mechanics. This feels like a game I would pay for with the amount of love they put into it for a free game 🥲please don’t terminate it 😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽 ### 5/5 — BRING BACK T9 *2025-11-03, version 1.1.3* BRING BACK THIA GAME I BEG YOU,HOW DONT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT NO OTHER GAME CAN HAVE SUCH UNIQUE STYLE AS THIS ONE.THIS GAME ALSO HAS DANGANRONPA VIBES AND DANGANRONPA AND GACHA SYMBIOSIS IS PEAK.PLEASE,DONT SHUT DOWN THE SERVERS. ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-09-29, version 1.1.3* Sad very less player ### 5/5 — 運営さんに届けー！ *2025-09-21, version 1.1.3* だいすきです。本当に大好きです。サ終悲しいです。 ストーリーもキャラクターもグラフィックも戦闘も曲もドットの画面も個性的なクエストに出てくるモブキャラとのやり取りもぜんぶだいすきです。毎日更新されるチャットもすきです。毎日ログインしてデイリーやって、ガチャ石コツコツ貯めて、本当に毎日が楽しかったです。イベントも毎回ワクワクして、ゲーム きかっけでアニメも見たので隠し要素のミナトトライブとのXBは泣きながらやりました。テンションカードの詳細もぜんぶ見ました。イベント 限定キャラも含めて星3キャラ 完全無課金で揃えました。コンパチブル・モンスターを略すとパチモンになるのもすきです。 トライブナインのように自分で操作するアクションゲームはほとんどやったことないですが、バトルが本に楽しくて楽しくて。とにかくプレイヤースキルが問われるゲームで、最初はサメズにボコボコにされたのもいい思い出です。カウンターの爽快感がたまらないです。散らばった紙の上を歩くと足音が少し変化する細かな部分もエリアごとに変わる曲もすきです。 このゲームがサ終すると講義終わりにTwitterの通知で知ったとき驚きすぎて声出ました。悲しいです寂しいですコラボカフェとか行きたかったしグッズももっと集めたかったです。 1人残らずみんなすきだと言うゲームは存在しないですし、このゲームもチクチク攻撃されたと思います。 でも私と同じようにだいすきで、サ終して欲しくなくて、サ終が決まってもプレイし続けてる人がいるんです！ トライブナインの代わりになるゲームはこの世にひとつもないんです。寂しいです。 でもこのゲームに出会えてよかったと心から思います。社会人になって子どもができておばさんになっても、このゲームのことはふとしたときにきっと思い出します。 このゲームの制作に関わったすべての人に感謝を伝えたいです。本当に本当にありがとうございました。このゲームを作ってくれてありがとうございました。3章出してくれてありがとうございました。 ずっとずっとだいすきな作品です。 最後の日までやり続けます。 「サ終取り消しします」と運営が発表する夢をみた人間より ### 5/5 — Really good game!! *2025-09-08, version 1.1.3* This game is really enjoyable!! For someone like me who has a short attention span, It holds my attention and makes me want to keep playing nonstop! I wished I joined by launch, instead of 3 months after it was declared to be going EOS. I am really sad, that they pull the plug before the game had a chance to grow more and bloom into something unforgettable, but with the short life span, It is a really good game and I hope the game make a comeback in some shape or form. Whether it be a Gacha or an offline RPG, whatever it is, I would loved to play it and see the rest of the story!! ### 5/5 — You were NUMBER 1!!!!! *2025-09-07, version 1.1.3* I love you. I will avenge you. ### 5/5 — 遊戲要沒了我哭死 *2025-09-06, version 1.1.3* 同上 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
