GAME IVER SCREEN AFTER I BEAT IT ### 3/5 — Fun but glitchy *2023-05-03, version 4.0.2* It is fun, I’ll give them that, but it’s SO glitchy. Several badges don’t actually work, and gameplay glitches at the end of several boss battles, particularly on Hessonite’s ship and in the Black Hole. You have to play the boss battles multiple times in the hopes you’ll get a match that won’t glitch, which ends up taking a lot of fun away from playing and beating this game. Aside from that, the storyline is fun and easy to play in many different styles, so there’s kind of a “fun for everyone” element to it. Rose’s room is more of a rogue style game than story mode, which is also pretty cool. You can play Rose’s room several times and have a different experience each time. ### 4/5 — One bug but that’s all *2022-10-01* When I fused into sunstone on the last turn I got a game over despite having surviving members of my party; I tried it again and got the same result, please sort this out ### 4/5 — absolutely love this game but it does have a few flaws *2022-08-18, version 4.0.0* i’ve been playing unleash the light ever since it’s release, and don’t get me wrong it’s an incredibly fun rpg game for an rpg lover and su watcher such as myself. i do have one tiny complaint though. ever since version 4.0 launched i’ve been playing this game more often than i have been before. with the inclusion of greg and hessonite plus the new rose’s room. well i decided to play the final boss with greg and my fully upgraded hessonite, and when i finished the boss fight and the cutscene where the game ends, my hessonite’s level fully reset back to her original level. now this doesn’t irk me to the point where i’ll throw a tantrum, but it does get a little frustrating considering i’d have to upgrade my hessonite all over again and it sort of prevents me from playing the final boss. i know it may be a little too late to be writing this review, but if the devs ever see this please keep it in mind for a potential bug fix!! please and thank you. :D ### 4/5 — Great game—some bugs found! *2022-07-27, version 4.0.0* The game is fantastic and I haven’t experienced any bugs since the game first released, but unfortunately I did. In Rose’s room when playing as Hessonite, I was caught in an ambush and when one of the enemies tried to attack Hessonite, she evaded the damage completely somehow but the enemies and my team are all frozen; I can’t attack them and they can’t attack me. Also Hessonite and the Pyrope boss battles needs a rework… when I fought Pyrope again with my level 35 Hessonite, the game deranked her and now I have to grind all over again. If you’ve already unlocked Hessonite and leveled her up, the game should recognize that so it won’t wipe Hessonite’s progress every time. ### 4/5 — Can’t get enough! but there are problems *2022-07-24, version 4.0.0* Im a hinge steven universe fan so when i saw that there was a game I was very excited! I’ve beat the story mode to completion and the black hole which was a lot of fun but i still wanted more of the game. Then you released an update with roses room that added such a good change of pace! Unfortunately though, there are a lot of glitches and bugs in roses room. Ill get stuck in battles so i have to quit to the main menu, characters will turn completely white, and for the final room the last boss is completely grey. And the worst thing of all is BADGES WILL UNEQUIP. Why??? that is the most frustrating part of roses room and i do not see why that’s a feature so i can only assume it’s not intended. this game is so much fun and i’ve spent countless hours on it and am eager to see more. I just really hope these bugs become less of a problem in the future. keep up all the great work! ### 4/5 — Amazing game but… *2022-07-13, version 4.0.0* I absolutely love this game. I’m obsessed with Steven Universe, and I played Attack the Light as well! I love how it incorporates all the characters of the show and expands as well with the new gems you fight against and talk to, but my only complaint is that this one seems to crash quite a bit. I’m trying to chalk it up to the fact I’ll play it for hours but none of my other games do this. It could also be Apple Arcade games in general, as this is the first (and only one so far) I have played because I’ve never had Attack the Light crash on me either, but it gets frustrating because it’s always when I’m in the middle of battle. I got scared it would crash on me during the final battle with the prisms (luckily it did not) but it took some of my excitement away worrying about it :( my iPad is a little older but it’s able to stay up to date with the software so I don’t think it’s my device, and hopefully Grumpyface sees this and looks into the crashing. If it wasn’t for that I’d give it a full 5 stars honestly. ### 3/5 — Great Game but needs a few bug fixes *2022-07-05, version 4.0.0* Since the latest update, I’ve been experiencing some bugs that have caused me to restart levels when I replay the game or throughout roses room. Some bugs are when I forge a barrier with bismuth, it doesn’t appear on my ability circle to use. Another one is when amethyst gets hit twice in a row like in the rose room against the light construct that has shards, when it hits her and then throws a shard at her, she sometimes gets stuck in the change phase and her character turns all white until I move to the next level. Another one is sometimes the characters start walking backwards all of a sudden. Another one is when lapis throws the enhanced shards it freezes the game. Another one is bismuth’s freebie barrier upgrade doesn’t work in rose’s room and in story mode I get an unlimited placement of the barrier but when I actually forge a barrier, it takes it away. Also Hessonites Charm ability sometimes when thrown is all black instead of the orange color. There were other multiple bugs I’ve encountered that interferes with my gameplay that I hope get fixed please ### 5/5 — Update idea *2022-06-24, version 4.0.0* Now listen, what if you let the diamonds join an adventure. Instead of being in their tall form maybe let them shrink down. I have some of their skills planned out. Each will have five abilities not including their ultimate ability. For white diamond’s ultimate ability she’ll be able to control three enemies and turn them against the enemy. For blue diamonds ultimate ability she’ll be able to use her sad ability to make three shock waves dealing damaged to the enemy and healing the team. And yellow diamonds ultimate ability she’ll be able to shock a whole entire row of enemies of three turns. Now for their regular abilities. White diamonds first ability will be white beams, should be able to select an enemy to use her lasers and deal damage to them if she may it will work just as Steven shield throw and any target that’s in front of her target will get damaged as well. I will get ideas for the other diamond abilities soon. Hopefully the developers see this in consider my ideas. Byeee. ### 5/5 — This game is amazing! *2022-05-03, version 3.1.0* You can’t even play a second of this game without having a smile on your face! This game is amazing! That’s all I have to say about it. This game combines the two best things in the world, Steven Universe, and RPGs! You can change the costumes of characters ( my favorite costume is Steven’s second costume, the one from the movie) which is amazing! My favorite Steven Universe character is Connie! She has a bit of a temper but, hey, don’t we all? Connie is hardworking, and she’s just a great character in general! If you’re a big fan of RPGs and Steven Universe like I am, you should definitely give this a try! ### 5/5 — Fun, challenging, good balance *2021-11-22* I am really enjoying this game because I like this kind of tactical combat where characters have different powers that you need to figure out how to use properly. Combat is fun, not too incredibly complicated, but with some interesting mechanics and useful decisions to be made. And it’s not simple either, you need to think about it. The story is nice, but it doesn’t get in the way; some games I’ve played there is a short fight and a half hour of walking and story rambling, but not the case here. All of which is without previously being a Steven Universe fan…I’m sure if you like tactical combat games and you’re already a fan, this is surely the game for you. ### 3/5 — I can’t finish the game because it’s glitched (please reply) *2021-09-02, version 3.0.0* I love the game. There is an area where it’s glitched that keeps me for finishing the game 😭. It’s in world 1 level 7. One of the puzzles where you have to make the light point to a certain spot to get the prize, the beam of light is not shining down like it is supposed to be. I know it’s supposed to because I checked several videos of people playing this level and had my sister play it on her IPad and it showed up there. Is there any way to fix this? If it weren’t for the glitch it would be five stars. Please respond with a solution. 😁 ### 4/5 — amethyst *2021-08-06, version 3.0.0* i just experienced this some minutes ago actually, but sometimes when amethyst revives herself (ability from the skill tree "Just Kidding") the game will stay stuck and not let me do anything, with amethyst's gem just floating there. I love the game, but it has so many bugs that just "freeze" the game. (in quotes because the animations are still playing, just not the game.) Just fix those and you're good. Also i saw a review that said there wasn't enough chroma for peridot's stuff. I'm trying to 100% the game so if that's actually a problem and they didn't just miss some, please fix that too. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Great game - a couple small fixes would make it perfect *2021-07-21* I love this game but there are a couple small fixes that I think would really make it a great gaming experience. Firstly, there’s a glitch that causes the party to stand backwards and attack backwards that needs to be fixed. Doesn’t affect your ability to attack or do damage but it was quite annoying and requires restarting the game to fix. Secondly, there should be a way to save mid-level - especially in the palace of light. If you leave the app for too long (sometimes even just a couple of minutes) it’ll reload to the main screen and you’ll have to go back to a warp pad. Since the palace of light is basically one giant level it’s really hard to keep progress, especially if you want to go for 100% completion as it doesn’t show completion per area. ### 4/5 — so close to perfect *2021-07-07, version 3.0.0* I love everything about this game except how the palace of light works. I spent all day going through all the areas and I only need to find one more chest but because I went into the Pink Garnet’s room thinking since I already beat her I wouldn’t have to do it again…. I got sucked into the boss battle a second time with no way out. I beat the boss all over again, I was then stuck on a black screen I assume is supposed to be the credits. This last part is inconvenient since I have to open and close the app, but the result is the same whether that happened or not because I get sent back to the homescreen taken out of the palace, and now have to clear all these enemies all over again trying to find this last chest. Could there please be a warning when youre about re-enter the boss’s room?? ### 5/5 — Epic RGP *2021-06-27* This game is incredible, the characters, abilities/skill trees are fantastic. Levels, battles and bosses are a blast as well as with the mechanics. The story also continues from the show and fits in and is fun. You do not need to have played Save the Light or Attack the Light to enjoy this one. The downsides of this game though are the glitches. You don’t get them often but some include; when Connie is on the team and you haven’t used her at all she can get hit and the game says it misses but you still take the damage. There is a level in Hessonite’s ship where you use Bismuth’s slam attack it freezes the game, also you can get the game in prema slow-mo when you get attacked by a red Squareidot bot, as well as status effects staying on your screen moving between stages. ### 4/5 — I just hate the bugs *2021-05-24* This game is GOLD. Honestly it’s perfect... Except for them bugs: -Making a fusion and I won’t get the achievement -I completed chapter 1 in the past with same account and I won’t get a 100% completion on my map even tho the other chapters are ok. So please fix this because I’m a fan :D ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Best game ever! *2023-09-28* OK, so this is like the best game ever! You guys have to download this it gets really hard but it’s so awesome. It’s the best Steven universe game you can have. And if you like this, and you wish you can make your own jam team., then download gem maker? I think that’s what it’s called just search on the on the Apple App Store for Chibi Maker: Dress Up Games down and you’ll find it but I am a huge Steven universe fan. Me and my sister have watched all of it. I’m an eight year old and my sister is 28. I have Steven universe pictures in my room everywhere, and also I was born in February so that means I’m amethyst and I acted completely like her! I like snacking and snacking and more snacking and being lazy and playing video games and watching TV and more snacking and also I wish I could shape shift. Oh sorry I got kind of lost in that but yes, anyway you should definitely download this game. Also, if you know the giant woman song sing it right now. Hugest fan of Steven universe ever!! out!😘 ### 1/5 — The game itself is great, but this is to point out a bug *2021-11-14, version 3.1.0* So I’ve loved this whole series, it’s fun, it’s engaging, and it’s very pretty! However I seem to be suffering from a bug that’s preventing me from finishing one of the side quests. You see I have a key that’s meant to open the green barrier on level 8 on the first world. However it’s not letting me open it up, and I know for a fact that it’s for that door because I played the through all the levels, opened all the other barriers. I finished the entire game, including the bonus levels and I still can open that barrier. This has been a problem for months. I don’t know what’s happening but if you could please do something about it will greatly appreciated. ### 1/5 — Hard to download!!! *2020-05-28* When I got Apple Arcade, I was exited . But not really now. My daughter downloaded on her I pad and it kept on failing to download. Not happy 😐 ### 1/5 — To much bugs *2019-12-14* Sorry but this game has to much bugs when I turned of my tablet it reset the WHOLE game 0 stars 😕 ### 1/5 — I put my iPad to charge and the game reset *2019-12-02* That’s it that’s literally it but I’ve played it 3 times on the 1st go I didn’t get the keys at the beginning and messed it up in the basement then the 2nd time it reset after I got all the keys, I went to the palace and put my iPad to charge then later I went on my iPad and it started with the opening cutscene on home world and the game reset. ### 2/5 — My game keeps restarting *2020-04-02, version 1.0.0* This game is fun but I can’t get far into it cause every single time I exit off of it my game gets restarted back to level 3! I was at the end of the first planet, logged off, then returned a few hours later to find that I was sent back to level 3 (not for the first time btw). I googled how to stop it and it said something about multitask close the game, shut off the WiFi, put on airplane mode, then log back into the game and the save file will be restored. This didn’t work. They should just put a save option in the menu instead of just relying on Autosave when said autosave doesn't work. I want to play this game but I can’t. Please fix this, PLEASE!!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Lame *2019-12-26* Tooooo easy. Can’t play as Smokey Quartz either. I finished the game in a week make it longer! ### 2/5 — Very buggy *2019-12-19* But still good game ### 2/5 — Lost data *2019-12-03, version 1.0* This game was great and I really enjoyed it while I was playing. I was super excited when this game came out. I was playing it quite a bit and I went pretty far. I got to the end of the third world and just needed to palace of light and what ever lies after that. But i ran into a glitch in one of the levels in the 3rd world. I defeated one of the enemies and sometimes this one leaves an enemy behind that was one top of it, other times it doesn’t. I thought it didn’t till I got attacked by nothing and found that there was an enemy. When I attacked it, everything froze and I couldn’t continue attacking. Upon restarting the level, one of the rainbow keys was no longer acquirable. I moved on and got 100% on all the other levels and worlds (excluding the one without key and the palace) And the next day when i open the app all of my data was gone. I tried restarting the app but it make no difference. I personally don’t want to work my way through all the levels again to get back where I was. Hopefully this gets fixed in the future and no longer happens to anyone else. It was a good game while it lasted. **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know about the issue you experienced.

As a big fan of RPGs, Unleash the light has been a blast. The gameplay is fun and interesting, and I love the references to the show that can be found in the dialogue. Great game for any Steven Universe fan. ### 5/5 — Add All The Fusions Please,Playable Obsidian and make a solar system mission *2023-05-04* it would be so very awesome if there’s was the whole solar system to save with the help of opal,sugilite,sardonyx,stevonnie,steg and playable obsidian. Please do this please 😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ### 5/5 — Fantastic but buggy *2023-02-16* One of the best rpg’s I’ve played, the story is mildly challenging, wish it was a bit harder but apart from that it’s great, and roses room is a great challenge that you need to think your next move on, the story is like that to but just generally the enemies are weak and easy to kill but roses room makes every enemy either 2 or 1 shot you, even when you block on most occasions and some tankier ones require effort to kill which I really love as most rpg’s I play feel way to easy but I can’t stress enough about that fact that this game is actually a strategy game and not a breeze. But, of course it’s not entirely perfect. Roses room is quite buggy as you crash many times (mainly when trying to start or during intermissions to next rooms) but it saves so it’s not terrible. Other than that there’s a few visual bugs that I’ve seen but they don’t effect gameplay so I don’t really care. Great game, but maybe fix the crashing problem as it’s quite annoying. ### 5/5 — New characters and fusions And story modes *2022-12-26, version 4.0.2* Dear Cartoon Network, In the next update, Please add new characters like Spinel, Ruby, Sapphire and Jasper. And please add new fusions like Opal, Sardonyx, Sugilite, Stevonie, Alexandrite, Malechite and Steg! And also Add a new Story modes 1 with Monster Steven like in the episode “I am my monster”! And the other where Garnet Unfuses and the gems have to decide whether they should help Ruby or Sapphire! Like In the episodes “Now we’re only falling apart!” “What’s your problem?!” “The Question.” And “reunited!” From Chloe Samantha Bottas. P.S, Please Ask Rebecca Sugar To Continue Steven Universe, And Add new episodes with More Spinel, Jasper, Lemon Jade, Ruby and Sapphire, And maybe a Halloween Special, A Christmas Special, And Maybeeeeeee…… Another Crossover with Kirby!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ P.P.S, It would also be very helpful if you made a spinoff of the show based off of the game! And Please add A Pibby Update, And Add Pibby, Spinel, The Animaniacs, Pennywise, And other Warner Bros Characters into Multiversus Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaassssseeeeee???🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺☹️🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME *2022-10-20* Ok so I Absolutely love Steven universe especially this game right here peridot is my favourite character and I love how she looks in game same with every other character plus skins but im sad I finished the game I can make new games but I hope u can add more stuff to the game if u can but I would definitely recommend downloading this game :3 ### 5/5 — How about Lars? *2022-07-06, version 4.0.0* I love this game and I didn’t think they were still updating it! Ever since they added Greg I’ve been wondering… how about Lars? He can do the things lion can do and maybe get help from the off-colors! He could also have a team attack with lion (if both are on the team) where lion or him go behind an enemy and a character you choose goes though them to behind the enemy for a sneak attack! It would also make up for the fact he was not used as Lars of the stars that much… also idk if it’s already in the game but WHERE IS STEVONNIE!?!?! ### 5/5 — Very authentic, amazing game! *2022-07-01, version 4.0.0* (Side note - I have never played attack the light or save the light) (Side note 2 - if you do not have Apple Arcade, there is also a console iteration on most major platforms, along with the This game is amazing! I opened it up for the first time after my 6th rewatch of the series, and when not seeing anything in the show in the description, I had my doubts. But this game had everything I would have hoped for!the story fits in perfectly with the main franchise’s story, while still making me have to think hard to figure out where this was in the timeline(people say it’s right after the main show, but I still have my doubts because of Steven’s second skin)! And the constant updating puts new life into the series after we all thought it was dead. Overlooking the occasional visual glitches, this is all I hoped for and more out of a Steven universe game, and any Steven universe fan needs to play this! ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH!!!!! *2022-06-28, version 4.0.0* I love this game! I’ve put DAYS into all of the light games loving all of gameplay and characters! The fusions and all of the moves are amazing!! And I’m soo glad Greg AND hessonite are characters you can play! That being said I have found glitches with there moves, whenever you select a target for Greg’s jams you fill up the teamwork bar a bit but you can keep selecting other targets it will keep filling up the bar! And there’s an issue with hessonite retaliate that soft locks the game I don’t know if this is going to be read or not but this game is truely INCREDIBLE 🤩 ### 5/5 — Bugs *2022-06-26, version 4.0.0* It’s a great game and I love playing it, but there are a few problems and bugs that I think should be pointed out. Greg’s jamming ability generates teamwork points every time you use a jam. Let’s say the you use 2 star points to have Greg attack jam. If you rapidly press attack jam over and over, it’s generate teamwork points each time. This goes for every one of his jamming skills. There’s this bug where Bismuth can place an infinite amount of barriers even without her upgrade for one freebie at the start of the game. I don’t know if this is happening to anybody else, but it’s happening to me and it doesn’t look like it’ll remove itself. And please, if not fix those bugs then fix this one. There’s a bug where when I’m in a battle the game just doesn’t allow to select any characters. I’m forced to stare at the enemies unless I leave the stage and run through it again. It happens back to back and I can’t clear any stages because of it. I love playing this game so if you could fix this then please do! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
