Bruh the servers are full man we cant even find one to set up our account.
The story is right on and the players you get to use will blow your socks off.
We love this game been playing it for years but we hate that we dont have team slots to make other team organizations them better since we really dont got system that tell u what kind of boost ur getting the most from but other then that we love this game keep upgrading it.
Cant believe we didnt try this game out later its amazing.
Love this game brings us back to anime peak.
We love this game and how for new players they help a lot, like db legends sometimes scam and even if it says guaranteed lf you still dont get one so we think fist of the North Star is better then db legends but we feel like fist of the North Star needs to add more squads for your character like squad 1 and 2 and etc.
This is the best gacha game we have played.
Hey Sega, in Fist of the North Star Legends Revive, Can you Give all the players some Sonic the Hedgehog Shards as a Gift? Because Sonic Rumble is Almost Released.
We grew up watching FotNS as a kid and didnt expect to see a game about it on the App Store. Im having such a blast collecting all of the characters and buffing them up. We have no issues with grinding since mats are actually easy to come by in this game. All in all Im happy to play this. It does have a learning curve but once you start playing you will easily get a hang of it.
Game is decent. We wish there was a better way to evolve characters without spending so much money or time.
We love the game a lot but Ive been hoarding gems just in case Akira yuki or Baki comes back.
This A Fun Game Re Downloaded Today And Got Some Ur Character Already.
NEGATIVE THINGS It has so many menus it looks very complicated and overwhelming, we would suggest a more cleaner simplified user friendly approach to the menu screen. A new player will be overwhelmed and intimidated by how complicated it looks and decide not to even play. If your a fan or youre not intimidated by its initial main menu appearance, the games tutorial is long to make up for its complicated look. It interrupts your gameplay to explain things and teach you about all the new features you unlock each time you level up. We personally dont like this approach in any game. Teach us everything and dont bother us. If you simplified the main menu you wouldnt have a long tutorial. Half the the stuff on the main menu is not even important its mostly to buy stuff, nothing detrimental to the gameplay itself. POSITIVE THINGS There is no question the game provides so many ways to get stronger and of course many ways to obtain powerful characters. There are 2 types of levels; your level as a player and the individual characters level. You can be a low level and strengthen a quality powerful character and destroy someone way higher level then you. The game isnt one dimensional in your growth and has sub-categories within the individual characters stats that you can level up and make powerful. There are different game modes to play which is expected in a game like this. Im still learning how to play new ones. For the most part the game is a solid good game with just a few imperfections that needs to be cleaned up and then it will be good to go.
Game crashes all the time we even deleted and made new account same issue game not even playable.
The gameplay is solid for its style and it gets points for being the only fist of the north star game we know about that actually goes passed the first story arc.
5 Fist of the North Stars from us.
This game is amazing! The art, battles and characters are all so perfect! We hope one day they can either do a crossover with Berserk or even make an entire Berserk version of this game, Id definitely pay a lot more for that.
Nice game but screens have too many buttons and the graphics and designs are very old.
This game has the most exasperated tutorial Ive ever seen. Its been an hour since Ive downloaded the game and Im still not in control of the game due to the hand-holding tutorial. We leveled up from level 4 to level 15 and unlocked several game modes and the game is determined to hold our hand through every game mode we unlocked. Even as we write this review we are still not in control of the game, Im still locked in the hand holding tutorial. This is straight trash.
Fist of the Northstar as a game nothing more needs to be said.
We spend more time waiting for this game to finish loading than actually playing the game. Makes us not want to play and quit. Its also very unbalanced play mechanics. It doesnt matter how powerful you make a character. Its about having the newest characters and building them up if you can afford it. Too many ways to build a character to force the user to pay to play. You can have 400k team power and lose to someone with 100k power. Hows that make sense? This game used to be fun. Now its a joke.
We love this game but a collaboration with Yu Yu Hakusho would be lit.
Love the app and the art designs of the characters.
The game is fun great for people who watch the anime we personally love it this is one of the best apps we have on our iPhone.
Really fun especially if you are a fist of the north star fan.
We love this game. We play it everyday and we love the upgrade system, the gatcha system, the crossovers, and its completely free to play.
We thought we could delete our alt account individually but the delete button deleted everything. How can we restore our old main account without losing this current one.
So yeah great game we have the bloodthirsty wolf Ryuga,but we need a new one something like an original old version of him maybe.we know it sounds kinda dumb but pls just think on it or at least read this or something.
Download this or Ill use our Manic Fist on you.
This game is fun and tons of rewards.
Pretty fun for now. Havent hit the wall yet.
Ths game for real is the best muscular anime game ever like we can be all our fav characters! But like we would love to have a crossover with JoJo bizarre adventure but you dont have too its a suggestion but anyway SO GOOD SO MZEING YOU CAN BE ANYONEEEEEE.
Lots of fun but gets dragged out and harder to enjoy the higher your level.
Ive been loving this game so far and Im really enjoying it. If there is one that could be added on is an English Dub. That would make this game even better! Thanks for a great game keep up the good work.
Hi, we just wanted to say that we are enjoying the game very much and its amaizing. We write to you because we love this game and we wanna see it evolve. So we wanna recommend new characters to add to the game. Examples: Shoki, Amiba on his Fake Mus Tensei form,Glenn, Jagi before he got deformed and Raiga and Fugas Teacher. Who ever is reading this we thank you for taking the time to look into our message and we hope your well. Again, Thank you :).
This game we had downloaded about 2 yrs ago and didnt think much of it. Played it one time when we were younger but it was to much of a learning curve for us to comprehend so we deleted it. Now 2yrs later we downloaded the game again and we guess it just takes some patience and reading to understand the menu and what everything does. Now that we got around that now we enjoy the game everyday with no problems. We love the story and how original they kept it with the series cough(that if you havent watched it you should because its amazing) cough than our you for making this game its a piece of art.
The game should be allowed to host a ReRun event for Sonic the Hedgehog, so that players like ourselves can get him.
This brings back memories thankyou.
Yo yall gotta add our boy sonic back.
Its a great turn based game that is easy and fun. We are also excited for the Tekken 7 crossover.
Great game. Always something to do. Only issue is it really slows down around lv 50 taking multiple days with gem spending to gain a level. Its a fun grind though. We wish things were explained more and there was better balancing with characters but all in all we enjoy it everyday.
We enjoy the game but we cant interact with the tekken event draw banner because it would freeze then crash.
For those who are fans of fotns like us, we would not recommend you download this game. Only for the sole reason that 90% wont even be able to play the game because it will refrain you from even getting past the downloading screen.
Im gonna be honest, we do enjoy this game since we do like FotNS a lot, but some of the gachas are blatantly ridiculous. Like on any gachas that have new URs we can use to improve our teams, every single time we get a fighter pull, its always a lame SR that you can find no problem on the regular gem banner, which really brings event banners down. Whats the point of having SRs from the gem Gacha in event banners if youre not going to get a fighter every single pull? If they had URs only, they wouldnt be so bad, because almost no one uses SRs when they get plenty of URs. Other than that, its a good game, its just that the Gacha lineups really need no SRs outside of the regular gem Gacha and have URs only to at least give event gachas like the Golden Week Gacha more value and purpose.
We are so tired to losing to teams with less speed and less power. Seems to be too many people using modified versions of this game. Such a shame because it is a fun game.. Cheaters ruin it for us all.
This game is soooo good definitely recommend if you like fist of the North Star.
We like this game But Can not log in since around.. 2am(UTC) With error message data tranfer failed please check your connection and try again Then it so long.
Only flaw is youll will never be the best on your server in the dojo (end-game) if u dont dump money into the game. Outside of that, A+ game.
We LOVE THIS GAME,we HAVE UNLOCKED SO MANY COOL CHARACTERS.But we have one request can u add a new shew.With a name like resistance leader shew,his moves:special,snowy heron kick,secret:illusion summoning palm.we hope this sounds cool to u other than that this game is always awesome.
