### 5/5 — Beautiful game!

*2026-09-04, version 3.6.3*

I absolutely love this game. I’ve been playing since launch and it still continues to surprise me. From a beautiful story to gorgeous character this game is stunning in visuals and tugs at my heartstrings. It might not be for everyone, but after learning the ropes and how it works, it’s great!

### 4/5 — Great game but few issues

*2026-09-04, version 3.6.3*

The game is great all of the graphic are great even on low end devices. The team also is know for taking the advice of the community and improving their game based of the community opinion. But the game can be laggy and also uses many many gigabytes and have multiple updates in game that are multiple gigabytes + the game still randomly crashes on my iPhone 13 when there is no background stuff or anything.

### 4/5 — Alice

*2026-09-03, version 3.6.3*

It is a good game but The meta is becoming hard to keep up with and there needs to be more rewards

### 1/5 — Russian language

*2026-09-03, version 3.6.3*

Russian language

### 1/5 — x

*2026-09-03, version 3.6.3*

can’t play it says never enough space so whatever

### 3/5 — Request to release MacOS build on Steam

*2026-09-02, version 3.6.0*

Please consider releasing the MacOS version of the game on Steam.

It sucks having to reinstall the game every update, the game doesn’t restart by itself after a patch on Mac for some reason, Apple’s “Game mode” simply doesn’t work most of the time. In app purchases are also a pain to set up(& Apple wants a ton of Personal information).

Not to mention, Steam has stuff like play time, achievements, Steam input etc.

So, please consider releasing the MacOS version on Steam.

### 5/5 — send kuro

*2026-09-02, version 3.6.3*

Dear Kuro, I am a passionate Wuwa game player, but lately I've been quite busy with work and have had much less time for gaming. Instead, I prioritize topping up my game account. However, the benefits of topping up are quite limited. Could you add more benefits to make the game more appealing and convenient for players?

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-09-01, version 3.6.3*

### 3/5 — Whearing waves

*2026-09-01, version 3.6.3*

This game will not disappoint you in this worth the money to invest in.
