But there are also a lot of players who are willing to spend for the right amount of money on limited offers like SR wings and mounts, and event markets. Unfortunately, the game stopped giving us monthly markets, limited offers items, and even withholding content that were introduced and are present in other servers (CH, JP). We are left with the most expensive offers which only 1% of the players are willing to spend on. Game would’ve made more money if they didn’t stop offering cheaper stiff for all players to enjoy using and paying for. After 2 years, I’m done with this game and I’ll be taking my money elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Network connection *2024-08-11, version 1.7.0* Constantly got disconnected from the server every 2-3 minutes. And nobody is playing, cannot even find a team to group. Could u move me to a server with actual players?! ### 4/5 — Se me eliminan los datos *2024-08-03, version 1.7.0* En verdad es un juego extremadamente adictivo, divertido, muy bueno en general, la razón por la q no le doy las 5 estrellas es porque se me eliminan todos los datos cuando dejo de jugar el juego por un periodo de 6 horas o más, no sé por qué pasa éso, y la vdd estar descargando cada vez los mismos datos antes de jugarlo es muy fastidioso y quita en gran medida las ganas de jugarlo, por favor, solucionen esa problemática, entonces así será uno de los mejores juegos, al menos en mi opinión ^^ ### 3/5 — Great game but low popularity *2024-05-22, version 1.7.0* I played for a year and something. the content is great, events are fun to do but have to be time for the those and progression is quite okay. How we the popularity of this game is low and need to be paid to win to catch up with others. In addition, a lot of migration between servers are happening which is good and all but it causes more problem as more people to delete instead. ### 1/5 — This *2024-03-31, version 1.6.1* Style of “game” is just so boring ### 4/5 — 下载超级慢 *2024-02-25, version 1.6.1* 为什么下载汉语特别慢，600多Mb要下载好几个小时 ### 1/5 — Money pit *2024-02-16, version 1.6.1* The worst game I have played on the App Store. There is no way they have a four out of nine stars. ( Bot Stars & Bot comments ) If you are new to the game they put you in a server full of 120s you have no chance. I played for two weeks. I was a level 71 did all of the dailies and did all of the challenges and couldn’t get the equipment for my level and then I would receive as a level 60 120 level equipment which you cannot use. I dropped $100 real money I summoned 5x10 and received absolutely nothing you spend the money and summon that many times you should receive at least something. I had a bad experience in this game you might like it, but I am old-school I like a good story, where they put the first that is not this game. it’s a scam. ### 4/5 — Servidor nuevo en EU? *2023-09-06* Buenas abriranr algún servidor EU nuevo?? **Developer response:** Dear Adventurer, we are sorry that we don't have the exact news currently.

Don’t bother downloading ### 1/5 — How do I start the game? *2025-08-29, version 1.7.0* The game did not load even though I tried to get into a server that said it was open. The game seemed very interesting when I read some reviews, so I decided to download it but I could not even start it. I am hoping that when I download this game again that I am able to get into a server and try out the game. ### 1/5 — Plz make offline version developers *2024-12-04, version 1.7.0* Needs offline version I love ys series ### 1/5 — 中国人死绝种 *2024-11-13, version 1.7.0* 郭云奥死，林峰死，郭佳宇死，朱英贵死，李雨辰死，毛宇涵死，李洋死，董楚凡死，汪心意死，万靖褀死，冯帅死，王煜浩死，肖丛辉死，曹家臣死，杨鑫死，谢瑞璟死，江铭捷死，肖丛辉死，朱冠霖死，马玮鑫死，李子豪死，苏汝行死，段闳耀死，黄俊男死，付义康死，都永远倒霉，残废脑瘫，一生多病多灾 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Remake the Game Please! *2025-10-04* So fun I remember this game was. I really hope the devs remake this game and advertise it out again because the game when it first dropped had so many players, so many things to do, the battles were epic. Very fun game even though its your traditional gacha game very fun still ### 5/5 — Love it. *2025-04-29, version 1.7.0* It’s like Ragnarok online x Ys + idle game and the idle is optional aswell as turned of for major game play sections. The game provides actual challenge compared to most phone games but you won’t feel it at first. Even if you want to solo level the game has a lot to offer; there’s a friendship system where you can befriend the major npcs for in game cosmetics and upgrade items, the story is pretty solid if you don’t mind reading, and there’s rewards for going off the beaten path and exploring every nook and cranny. I know this game presents as and idle game- and for the most part it is but there’s a genuinely good MMO here if you ignore the sub standard “PvP” I’d say it’s and under rated gem-no matter what I think every one should give it a shot. ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-03-06, version 1.7.0* Best game ### 5/5 — Great job *2024-10-06, version 1.7.0* I love this game!, ### 5/5 — lindo mas *2024-05-21* amaria collab nesse jogo ### 5/5 — Sympa! *2024-02-11* Une très agréable façon de découvrir l’histoire de YS6 ### 5/5 — Bello ma *2024-01-16* Inserite la lingua italiana! ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2023-07-29* Jogo ótimo, história envolvente e gráficos bem desenvolvidos além de interações com os personagens ### 5/5 — Long time Jrpg fan *2023-07-27, version 1.4.3* This game has it all, you can even stay f2p and still have a blast. This has all the strengths of a classic rpg. Phenomenal job w this one! ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-07-17, version 1.4.3* It’s an all right game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
