### 1/5 — やることはおすすめしない

*2026-08-10*

今年サービス開始、その後2ヶ月くらいしか目新しい追加要素やバランス改善は無い。
今は鬼畜なメインエリアをひたすら進め、その中で固定イベントを週毎に繰り返しているだけで、単純すぎて虚無でしかない。
ユーザーの要望を全て無視し、出来るだけ低予算で実装できることしかしておらず、挑戦の試みを一切感じない。

これからも追加要素が来る可能性はかなり薄いので、単純作業がすきな人意外はやらない方がいい。

### 4/5 — 難易度はガチャ結果が決める

*2026-07-03*

全てが運任せ。システムは普通。

### 1/5 — 課金キャラが・・・

*2026-07-02*

新キャラのコーラルを5,800円で購入しましたが、挙動に違和感があります。通常攻撃を一発撃った後、そのまま棒立ちになってしまい、攻撃頻度が極端に低いです。これは仕様でしょうか？もし不具合（バグ）であれば、早期の修正をお願いしたいです。

### 4/5 — クベール強すぎ

*2026-05-20*

クベールとかいうタンク系のコスト120で再生産13のくせに体力が高いだけにとどまらず、攻撃を5回無効化するシールド持ちでボスにも強いくせに、雑魚的には3回に1回の攻撃で失神させるあいつやばい。あと足も速い。さすが5800円

### 1/5 — 画面が真っ暗

*2026-04-15*

オープニングから画面が真っ暗で何も出来ない

### 1/5 — とても面白いゲームなのですが

*2026-04-04*

過去のバージョンアップから、掃討したときの報酬2倍が適応されません。課金したにも関わらず、告知もなく変更されてしまうと辛いです。ご対応をお願いします。

### 5/5 — ジェネリックにゃんこ大戦争

*2026-04-03*

タイトルの一言が全てです。

にゃんこ大戦争から面倒な周回時間を無くした感じで、全体的に簡素化した雰囲気のゲームです。
私はにゃんこ大戦争もまだスマホに残してますが、イベント周回がだるい&しないとガチャ回せないのであっちは起動はしてません。
こっちは頻繁ではないですが、やる気なくてもスタミナ消化がテキトーにできるので起動はしてます。

運営年数の違いの差も大きいので単純比較はできませんが、戦略性やキャラごとの独自性などはにゃんこ大戦争の方が遥かに上だと思います。

こちらのゲームもキャラ数は多い地獄の闇鍋ガチャですが、キャラ性能は大筋では似たり寄ったりな上に、ドット絵なので見た目の違いも誤差レベルです。


前のアプデでデイリー報酬にキャラのプラスを付けられるアイテムが追加されたので、地道にやってればSランクも育てられます。

### 1/5 — 新規お断りゲー

*2026-03-28*

強化又はガチャをするのにイベントクリア必須、イベントクリアする為にメインクエストクリア必須（一定以上進めないと参加出来ない）、メインクエストクリアする為に強化又はガチャ必須の悪循環。
初めて1カ月くらいは多少の課金ではまともに遊べません。まともに遊べない間にイベントキャラを取り損ねます。
苦労してガチャ引いても基本ゴミしか出ないので古参or課金者以外楽しめる要素がほぼないです。
かなりストレス溜まるので全くおすすめ出来ないゲームです。

### 3/5 — オモロい

*2026-03-16*

ネットワーク問題が頻発して広告や長い戦闘が巻き戻される点がなければ星４

### 1/5 — 召喚できないストレス　壁が無意味

*2026-03-12*

途中まで楽しめたが、ステージが進むにつれ召喚コストが重くなりすぎて爽快感が全くなくなってしまう。
ボスの攻撃力が高すぎて壁が意味をなさない。
7-50がやけどダメージ対策しても攻撃タイミング次第で回復がかからない。
