Overall sentiment: mixed **Pros** - 👍 Satisfying dungeon-themed gameplay - 🎨 Great art style and character designs - 😊 Cute interactive elements (e.g., cat) **Cons** - 🐢 Slow progression and resource grind - 💰 Predatory monetization and pay-to-win - 🐛 Frequent crashes and stability issues **Commonly reported bugs** - Unlocked dungeons being overleveled - Inability to disable ads and in-app purchases **Most requested features** - Improved tutorial and onboarding - Better balance for difficulty and progression - Optimization for reduced crashes and stability ## Recent user reviews (10 of 49) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/whisper-of-shadow/id6670787689/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Bored *2026-01-05, version 1.1.1* Same drop ### 3/5 — Bien *2025-05-08, version 1.1.1* Dommage toujours pas de lnaguage français très compliqué pour la sélection des bonus , devient fatiguant le jeu plante après 2-3 combats que ceux soit en wifi ou réseau 5g et qui dégoûte la vitesse de jeu est payante sa démotive ### 1/5 — WHY CAN’T I UPGRADE MY FALLENERS!? *2025-04-05, version 1.1.1* This game is a frustrating cocktail of promise and pain. The mechanics are smooth, the art style is gorgeous, and the music? Epic. But there’s one glaring issue: you can’t upgrade your falleners. Not one bit. No XP, no gear improvements, no skill trees—just the same squishy stats from the tutorial level. It’s like trying to storm a castle with a team of slightly annoyed ### 3/5 — REWORK THE ACCOUNT SYSTEM *2025-03-20, version 1.1.0* u need to log in every single time u open the game, why dont use session auto log in system like others? some login method is not even optimized but you cant unbind and bind it to other methods. wish you could fix this problem in the future, your game has good potential. ### 5/5 — Let try *2025-03-01, version 1.0.9* let try with my free gift code. YVXK2Y99 ### 1/5 — Predatory mediocrity *2025-02-06, version 1.0.8* Art style and character design are great but what quickly follows is unbalanced and uninspired game design and mechanics. The star up system is some of the slowest in a gacha I’ve ever seen. Daily dungeons and resource farms you unlock are not balanced around the level you unlock them. For example I unlocked one with where all the characters are 10 levels over the requirement and 200k total power over but it still can’t be beaten. The monetization is hidden behind a second currency, so you buy crystals to buy stuff which hides the true cost of things. There are better games with better introductory guidance and free things to get your gameplay moving. The pay to win wall comes way sooner than it should. ### 5/5 — Needs Patience, but Worthwhile. *2025-01-26, version 1.0.8* Okay so first of all, I’ve played quite a lot of rpg games like this which enable you to pull for characters (a.k.a the gacha system.) So much so, in fact, that I have trouble finding other ones that I haven’t played yet at this point. I got bored of most of them, only keeping certain ones that I really liked. I’ve only played this one for about less than 3 days total, so I definitely can’t say that I’m too experienced in what its contents are considering that I haven’t unlocked them all yet. I can confidentially say that so far, however, that I’m having a blast. It’s mostly because of the dungeon-themed campaign system with satisfying gameplay, that’s something that I personally haven’t experienced before and now really like. I also just really like the designs of the characters and the art style in general, the dark and ethereal feel to it. I can see, however, why some people would feel frustrated with the fact that you do kind of hit a point where you need to level up your units a lot more and with better gear to progress further—and that definitely takes some grinding. But it helps more if you really think about your team dynamic too, and imo I like to scope out the top dps and focus on upgrading them to be the strongest unit on your team. I also make sure to really take the time to repeat battles in my most recently-completed dungeon stage to keep obtaining hero level-up material and better gears along the way; that’ll definitely help with leveling up further. Sometimes you just need a little bit of extra patience and time to persevere, as well as a decent strategy in mind (and a bit of luck with the way that the dungeons can be sometimes with their buffs). I do want to also add that something I want to complain about so far is that my game crashes sometimes even when my wifi is good, phone not overheated at all, not low on battery, and storage not even close to reaching maximum capacity. I’d like that to get fixed, even if the loading screen is quick and easy anyway so it’s not too inconvenient. Unhelpful part of my review but true: Funnily enough, I have to say that my most favorite aspect of the game is the cute gray cat that you can tap endlessly and it meows every time as well as giving you one bundle of gems per day 😊. And you get to see the cute creature very close to the button you press to enter the summoning system, too. Speaking of which, I like the animation for that as well; it’s simple yet beautiful. Cats are always #1 above every existing thing on this Earth imo. So all in all, this game has already captured my heart and I want to see where it goes. I like it, and I personally recommend at least trying it out. ### 4/5 — French *2025-01-23, version 1.0.7* Manque juste le français mais reste très jouable en anglais. Beaucoup de choses à faire, les donjons plutôt sympathiques ### 4/5 — New type of gacha *2025-01-22, version 1.0.7* It is a new type of gacha ( not like epic 7,..). Good to enjoy so far ### 5/5 — Needs Patience, but Worthwhile. *2025-01-16* Okay so first of all, I’ve played quite a lot of rpg games like this which enable you to pull for characters (a.k.a the gacha system.)

But it helps more if you really think about your team dynamic too, like perhaps having two tanks units in the front with a healer in the mid/back row to ensure more survivability; that’s what I personally do, and I’m honestly doing just fine so long as I especially upgrade my best AoE DPS (speaking of that, I saw some people complaining about not progressing despite having a team over the required level [ex. A lvl40 team fighting a lvl30 dungeon] and I’m pretty sure that’s because their team just isn’t well thought-out enough).
