Community Insight:
Freemium with many good ideas so be warned.
Such a well-rounded game with multiple game modes/styles. Tons of characters and for your spells and powers are other characters versus an actual power or spell. Neat concept. Still learning and hope theres some PvP at some point as we level up. If you dig MMOs that arent played on auto then give this one a try.
Is it possible that you guys can add controller support to the game.
We absolutely love this game, its very diverse to us and exciting about the storyline and the characters are so beautiful and unique in their own way. The music is really good also and the quality is good also.
Very Awesome game, we absolutely love the two fighting style aspect, and to be able to minimize one fight while doing anotherjust amazing! Hope there are so many cool events coming up in the new update.
We dont mind a good gacha game. Nice pulls starting out and great gameplay and graphics.
Hello Developers we really wanna play this game but wont allow us to. It keeps kicking us out.
Easier crystal of atlan and f2p friendly.
Im not sure what it will take for people to be objective. The game itself isnt fun. Theres two fighting modes and the better one is used very infrequently. Theres an illusion of strategy but in reality the strength comes from just having upgraded skills and characters, which comes from pulls. People talking about the game being generous is very insipid. Its still a gacha game and it does not value your time or wallet. It being better than other gacha games that are much much worse is setting a really low bar.
Keep it realtime is way better in real time action . Waiting turns to see action is slow and boring! We in the 2020s, keep it all in real time actions is better as actions keep happening.
We have no clue what peoples problem is. This game is fantastic. High quality, generous, beautiful, humorous and just plain fun. Lighten up people, its amazing and not just for what it is. A gem for any ARPG fan. You get to have both open field combat and turn based. Just awesome! Well done Devs, thanks for the stellar work.
Until we find something wrong with this game Ill keep it as a good game to play.
We didnt expect to see so many negative reviews. The game is very fun. The characters are diverse and the voice acting suits each character! We think people are just playing on very slow devices, since it works just fine on ours? Not to mention, the auto battling is very useful. But when you get into the actual fighting mechanics, its super fun! The really only flaw, despite maybe bugs with the release (thatll obviously be fixed)- is that sometimes the audio wont play for cut scenes and it feels really bland Like its those Easter bunny chocolates, but you realize the inside is hollow. Everything else is very well made.
Visuals and character designs are beautiful. Really like how easy it is to learn everything. Excited to play more.
Fun mix of action and strategy with lots of cool characters to collect. The gameplay feels fresh at the start, and the visuals are solid. It does get a bit grindy later on, but overall its a game worth checking out if youre into RPGs.
Enjoying it so far the graphics are beautiful and the characters are stunning but the moment it's starts freezing and kicking us out deleted.
As long as you dont expect it to be something its not, its a lot of fun. Also honestly has the best UI Ive ever seen in a mobile game.
Strong foundations and a team that cares can cary this a long way, unfortunately it doesnt have too many things going for it at the moment. The different combat system that splits seemingly also splits your market. Because live combat is auto and not engaging and turn based combat is lack luster. You guys got this though hang in there.
The game itself is decent, it lags a lot and the quality is very poor (even after we adjust it in the settings, some cutscenes are still very low quality). The controls are awful too.
We think the monsters in this game are too strong. Takes a while to kill one. You level up pretty slow too. It makes you feel like you dont progress much.
Its really fun but the only thing is the pixel performance.
Acabo de descargarme el juego , lo tena ya en predescarga y la verdad us encanta hasta ahora todo , give us five.
