Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love the story and its told very well. Arena time is fun and we love the other ones added after it. The female characters overtime designs need more clothes thats why we cant give 5 stars.
Pls bring back the old setup everything is so confusing and makes the screen very cluttered as a return player this is very triggering to us.
You know that shocked face where the characters mouth drops and the eyes go pure white yea theres a glitch of where that happens the face stays any chance you can fix that.
This game is the best mobile yame out there and it made our childehood better every second we played it thank you developers.
The best we have ever played thank you.
We got Guardian Tales on Switch years ago and Ive loved it ever since. We got it on our phone recently only to find it even more fun and w/quality of life changes that make it one of the only cross-platform mobile games we like to play. We prefer to play the game on our phone now. Definitely a gatcha game, but definitely NOT pay-to-win. Ive never had to spend a cent on this game and we respect and appreciate that from the developers. As a broke college kid, this is the best way to pass time on commutes, down time, etc.
We spend a lot of time on it and we use a lot of brain to it.
This game is always enjoyable to play and the game has many different events ongoing and caters well to free to play players. The characters and design of the game is flattering and nostalgic.
Most of the time when we try to download content it just wont work and says we have a connection error or something like that. It might be our location but we dont think being far away from the severs should just not let us download the content. And yes, we are trying to download it in the places where we get the best internet. Otherwise its a decent game, based on the one time we even get the play it.
This game is literally peak why isnt it more popular.
Well we will for the sake of this review. Okay look, Guardian Tales is a fun game with a great story and great cast of characters. And sure it may have some problems like crashing or lagging out, and some problematic changes like powercreep. But are you seriously telling us, that this entire collab is essentially paylocked? Look the Beth costume we would understand, but do we have to screwed over by having only 1 spin? And unfortunately for some they get 7.5 MiLlIoN GoLd, 500 cOFfeE or 15 mIlLiOn eXp, 5 sUmMoN cOnTrOlLeRs, etc instead of content exclusive to this collab when they couldve easily grind that out within a week. Never do this again, it only just pisses off the playerbase who still cares for this game.
The game is super fun and full of adventures with creative ideas. The story is engaging and keeps you excited to continue, and the pixel art graphics give it a beautiful classic vibe. The combat system is smooth and enjoyable, with challenges that keep the gameplay fresh. The side quests and characters are both funny and charming. Honestly, one of the best mobile games Ive ever played, totally worth every minute.
There are references upon references and the story is so good. Ive never played a game where that references even itself. The gameplay is perfect aswell.
Absolutely loved this game even though we came into it not expecting much because its a gacha game but the sheer story telling gameplay and forgiving gacha made this an absolute gem but the farther we got into the game as it was updated even getting halfway through season 2 it started freezing and crashing our phone is just too old and bad to run it :(.
Don't get us wrong this game is great and we love the character design, but… The tea cup stamina things are coffee cup wouldnt let us get things in our mailbox it will just say we have to many coffee cups which pisses us off badly. We have like 3000+ of them, if yall add a feature where you can sell them Ill be super happy.
The game is overall interesting and fun, but one big issue is that every time we exit the screen or get a notification (like low battery or an incoming call), it automatically asks us to log in again. Since the login link doesnt work properly, we end up having to close the game completely and log back in and since it doesnt offer multiple login options for one game we cant fix it ourselves without losing our progress.
We really liked this game and while it has dark stories the new stuff is really dark. Im writing this review after a child was killed and turned into a robot like fnaf style really messed up this game should be +18 with all the murder and violence. And an npc died because while trying to find a path to her we instead activated the UNCHANGEABLE STORY LINE OF THE NPC DYING. It was very upsetting for no reason There are lots of points in this game that are so gruesome and when we play a game we dont want this extreme of a dark story.
So the story is basically bad guys only dubbed the invaders(faceless enemies) so it doesnt feel like youre murdering anyone.) they invade the world and its up to you to kick them out of your homeland. Meaning the world.
Im just trying to play a game where we can relax but,thats an issue when your game crashes every single time you try and play story. Im so mad its a great game but its to laggy either fix it or do nothing. The thing is we dont even know if youre even trying too, we have played this game for 5 years and nothing has changed. Either fix it or delete it.
Games good but always crashes after a while.
Guardian Tales has been one of our favorite games as of late. In the endless sea of slop that is RPG games, Guardian Tales gets almost everything right. Simple yet nice visuals, enjoyable gameplay, and AMAZING music. Demon Worlds music is amazing, seriously. BUT. No game is perfect. So we should address the elephant in the room. Theres one glaring issue with this game, and that is the CONSTANT CRASHES AND LAG SPIKES. Even with lighting off, 30 fps, healing and damage text off, and rich visuals off, this game still runs like a dog with no legs! We genuinely have no idea why this is happening. These lag spikes become absolutely dreadful when playing the game. And dont even get us started on the crashing. We LITERALLY CANT PLAY 12-6 BECAUSE OF THESE SPIKES. Whenever we try to play that level, it starts loading, then, all of a sudden, it crashes! This is a common thing that happens by the way. TLDR: Game is great, crashes and lags a boatload of times, and we cant play 12-6.
Doesnt have multiple binding systems with the Acc Might lose our acc soon.
Games got good humor and character design; made us realize we liked the male characters more than the female ones. A warning that if your friend plays any other version of the game that isnt the mobile one then you cant play together. The games combat is great and the multiplayer aspect is pretty good, however theres a chapter-we think its 11- that is just obscenely hard for some reason and is a huge roadblock to all progression and ultimately killed off the entire experience for us and our friends as none of us could get past that level.
Kong Studios need to bring back dungeon link or make a game with the same mechanics. Yes this game is a prologue version of DL but they need to bring it back. Theres literally no other game like it.
Its an easy game in the start but after world 9 it becomes torture until it got nerfed, and then we like beating all of the worlds to uncover the lore to it. Im at world 21 and Getting 6 stars is easy, you just need to do the dungeon and you know. But the red shard is so hard we barely beat it to do a quest and Im literally using everything we have, 6 star, max limit break, almost got max blessing, Relics, and maxed out max. They need to nerf that.
Features a classic adventure that feels new and unique. Also no ads. MAKE ADS FOR YOUR GAME.
Honestly Ive playing this game for 5 years now and its changes a lot but other all the same the game doesnt seem to have a direct line of where its going. However this game has been a joy to play and a lot of people say this is pay to win but any game with micro transactions is p2w we know plenty of F2P players with comparable stats. The biggest thing is to treat this game as a casual game-would recommend to anyone.
We love this game but when we get back to it RESET MY PROGRESS! Please do something about this.
The game is overall great, great content, good story, suitable for all player genres(whether you choose to play P2W or F2P), just a good game overall. The biggest complaint however, which is also why we deleted the game today at this moment, is the game keeps crashing randomly and for no utter reason. Im playing on a iPhone 13 that plays really good with other heavy gacha games like this, however after around 2-5 minutes, the game gets slow and choppy, then crashes. A good game but we hope this issue is a us problem.
It is getting really annoying, and if you write a complaint the response would be along the lines: Your device doesnt have enough ram. There are so many games that have waayyyy more ram consumption and they dont crash like this unoptimized glob.
This is our Gacha of choice. We genuinely think it deserves more players. We just wish it had an official PC port.
World 10-3 has a lot of bugs, we cant play the level because of this! Please fix this issue immediately.
We love this game a lot but one problem The MINIGAMES they are so hard to complete for us but some are cakewalks this inconsistent difficulty is harming this game for us.
Wow we saw this on our recommended and this brought back memories it was summer or smh and we would play this game every day why stop you may ask (you didnt) we got bored of it one day and deleted it sadly then we installed it again but we had to restart our progress we did then we deleted it again after getting bored again and we never saw it again.. Until today well thats our story on this game sorry if we bored you to death or whatever kids say these days -Steven M. 4/28/25 1:50 A.M.
Over all it is a great game and Ive been playing it for so long and almost beat it, but when we join the game in crashs and kicks us out and we have to go back in and it happens over and over and over all the time. We wish we knew the answer why it happens. We hope they can fix that soon.
We use to play this game a lot, but after seeing the characters disappointed us.. They use to look more modest now this looks like a hentai game:/.
Us encanta el juego desde hace un ao pero siente tengo el mismo problema sin importar las veces que cambie de dispositivo siempre despus de un rato jugando se cierra repentinamente el juego pens q era mi dispositivo us cambi a iPhone y an as sigo teniendo el mismo problema en realidad us encanta el juego pero por favor arreglen ese problema.
Great fun game but it just be crashing randomly. Literally cant even play for more than 5-10 mins at a time.
This game is one of the best mobile games you will ever play with one massive problem: they moved in a direction of just adding a bunch of different content of various quality with different unique weekly rewards that took too much time to get until playing the game and being invested in it just demanded far too much of your time. This game is legitimately a full time job to keep up with and that takes it from a 5 star to a 2 star because at that point you are better off doing literally anything else than this silly mobile game as an adult. Would recommend for any minors EASILY though, amazing time sink for kids & teens <3.
Along time ago we played this game and we kind of did like it but it keeps constantly logging us out our Facebook and crashing our game and even now and then the game still crashes and its not a fun experience to be dealing with that its very annoying please fix it cuss we cant even play the game without it crashing on us.
Its a really great game with an interesting story, fun characters, and fun gameplay. Our only complaint is that on the phone our game keeps crashing every time we try to play a mission and its very consistent.
Love this game and was fine with the very few crashes we got but ever since the most recent update, we are crashing every 30 seconds :(.
Absolutely love this game but currently having issues with the app closing in the middle of us playing and its gotten worse the farther Ive gotten – At 17-11 but it wont let us play :( Please resolve- Otherwise would definitely recommend to others.
Game is crashing every few minutes, otherwise v fun.
We love this game but for some reason it started crashing for us a lot. We tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the problem persists and im getting tired of it and im thinking of quitting the game.
The game is very good but they can add a way so that when you are playing you do not have to go out to change from one chapter to another as if it were continuous.
Look we LOVE this game but it keeps on crashing for no reason could you fix this please.
