Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
App stay frozen on login screen and takes five minutes to get there its definitely a bug that need to be fix.
We love the Ni no Kuni series and was really excited when this game became available to play in the US. Its a fun game, though it does feel like you kind of hit a wall at some point where gaining enough exp to level up takes a very long time. Ive created one of each class for some of the bonuses, but we still often feel stuck, needing to do the dailies every day for weeks or months to progress any further.
Why after downloading 1.9 gigs do we have to down load 8 gigs more to play? That isnt even in the description of the game or any of that. Just like Raven 2 you down load just to download almost 1gig to just download 13 gigs more just to play. SMH.
We love Ni No Kuni! Played since the original on PS3, Ive watched the movie on Netflix, and we absolutely adore Cross Worlds! However, we play all our mobile games with our Backbone One controller and apparently Cross Worlds doesnt support controller input. We were hoping the developers could remedy this issue. Its a wonderful game that Ill continue playing even if the issue cant be resolved. Although, it would be nice to have controller input as it hurts our hands to play on the phone itself. Again, great job developers! Wonderful game and we love it, just hope to see controller compatibility in a future update! Keep it up, you all are awesome!:).
Requesting controller support with backbone.
Has kinda the same feel as Sword art online.
We loveee the game but we have friends who dont have enough space on there phone because of there photos so they have limited games,they play on PS4-5,and Xbox and cant play with us.
As title said this game desperately needs the catch up system KR version of the game just got during their 4th year anniversary. It would be nice to be around the same power level as everyone else thats playing. Also, still need way more quality of life improvements. Thank you.
We love the game but it keep kicking us out.
We want a to have a home in this game !!! Not just a farm.
Fun and all but game plays for you even if you dont want it to sometimes. Game crashes CONSTANTLY. No way to fix. Fun game we guess but if you wanna keep a customer base you better figure that ish out ASAP.
We want this to be played on our back bin controller.
The game is cool, but it should be better if we can use it with a controller.
Im new to gaming and spending years on a character to become a reveered whale has been fun. This is a good newb game.
So far the games good but it keeps crashing :/.
Fun game but needs controller support.
This game is fun and engaging, dont get us wrong, but it has one massive glaring issue. That is that it keeps crashing! No matter how much we change the graphics settings, it keeps crashing! Out of nowhere! We recently was trying to do a quest, clicked on the directions button, and it crashed! We had to log back in and everything! Still a fun game, though. If you think its worth it, play by all means.
Wish it was easier to get different pets and mounts and outfits it takes a lot of gems and when you roll you rarely get what you want maybe easier ways to get the gems or cards to pull and we would love another Sanrio collab/ bringing back the old Sanrio items im a new player and missed out on all the cute accessories especially all the kuromi stuff and wish it was available also we despise bert from evermore he stole 100 of our swift solution paper fragments promising a swift solution paper thing we can use and he didnt we want bert and his whole establishment to burn and crumble to the ground we didnt want to gift him we wanted our reward hes sick and twisted in the head we just needed to do one more swift solution for a quest now we have to wait another day to do the last one bert is evil intentionally and we will intentionally burn his establishment for his actions he will never know peace.
The environment is fantastic, the battle system is great, and the creatures are nifty. However, theres just too many items, menus, just all around clutter. We thought hoyoverse games were cluttered, but this one definitely takes the cake.
Amazing game, we dont think Id need to download any other games if the crashing would be fixed! Ill play for less than five minutes now before the game crashes on us and foolishly Ill reopen and try again for it to keep happening. We have plenty of phone storage for the game, everything up to date on our end, and even turned the graphics on lowest settings to help but same stuff. Please look into fixing the crashing.
Every other minute it crashes, usually when im the middle of getting rid of the thousands of pings you get a day! Let us finish going through pings before you crash! We keep forgetting what im doing, AAAAAAAAAAAAA.
We love this game we promise, but the way we are CONSTANTLY crashing takes away a lot of the fun we used to have with it. We crash with almost anything we do anymore, including just simply opening our item bag or the shop. (crashing is when the game literally closes itself out on its own). Once again we love this game and we love the friends ive made in it, but its hardly playable with the amount of lag and how much it shuts down. Its not meant for IOS, ive heard its a lot better on PC, but we dont have a computer at the moment so we havent been able to test it out for ourselves. PLEASE WORK ON THE CRASHING ISSUE, A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCE THIS CONSTANTLY LIKE ME. Id rate this 5 stars if not for that issue.
For the past few years Ive been looking an actual RPG that is not Pay to Win, that actually has great skill base gameplay, that doesnt jump you to level 100 in 5 minutes. This game is a solid 9.5/10, the only thing we wish for is that they make it controller compatible. Pros: great character customization Great classes balance Each class can solo PvE Game play Levels The OPEN WORLD exploration Everything Cons: Nothing More games like this please.
We like the game, but its too complicated. It could be better if they make it little simplier.
Ive played the game since it was first launched and on two occasions Ive had to delete the game and redownload it to clear out the obsolete data from past events. Once over 25GB the game crashes a minimum of 5 times in half an hour. The game as of today is a little over 14GB. For the game itself there are so many aspects to build on and level up which can be almost overwhelming, but also fun if you are willing to put the time into it. It doesnt require any money to be spent to enjoy but items are way overpriced if you choose to spend. A mount for example is $40. Absurd. The plot is subpar compared to the other Ni No Kuni games on other consoles. The training wheels as someone else called it make progressing through the storyline checkpoints a brainless task. Overall we would give it 6/10 but if the issue with memory requirements were solved, it happily give a higher score.
Game looks great. But Id be more enticed to play if there was controller support. Game is very in depth with menus and choices. So a controller to play this game would be great.
Remove the unused date function is needed It is almost 40 gega on mobile.
This game was fun but it kept getting shutdown all the time.
The game is actually pretty good and also the stroyline everythings great so far, we just downloaded its just one problem we think its the quality maybe if there was more people to help out with the game with the details as jumping you see when a character jumps its only in one position. Anyways the character design is amazing also with a little more people to help out with the details id be great.
Idk why everyone hating on this, the game is great and better than gunshin.
This is a fun game but, we would feel more inclined to lay it if it had controller support.
We like it. We would prefer to use controller on it since it seems like it would be compatible with the game. Thats what we think tho, the game has great potential.
The graphics, storyline, characters, lore, and voice acting are hollywood level great! But where the game REALLY shines is with the keyboard and mouse support. We've given so many games 1 star and dropped, no matter how good, because of no keyboard/mouse support. We love this game for implementing proper controls so we can enjoy it on our iPad with our gaming setup. Thank you.
Please please have PS backbone support for this game. Great game!!!!!!! How is this game free? Incredible graphics and storyline. Variety of characters to choose. Definitely would love to play this game with the controller.
We love the game but we cant play for very long because we get kicked off or something.
Requesting controller support! Enjoying the game so far.
We played the first game (loved the story line and the wizards companion!) and absolutely loved it and the second Ni No Kuni (loved the gameplay!)was also very fun. Im not one to typically cheer for a pay as you go game. However, this game is worth it and so far the free lancing is awesome. Huge shout out to five games and everyone that helps develop the game and especially the players. Thank you.
Every time we try to play after a while it kicks us out the game we dont exit out or anything it ramdonly kicks us out idk if its a bug or something but we cant play bc of it.
Verdict: Good game if you are idle most of the time, dont take any power-up systems seriously, like to see numbers get bigger for no overall affect to multiplayer activities, and like anime. Pros: – Visually appealing style, graphics, and Ghibli style. – Option to leave the game idle so we can go to work and still have some progress made. – monthly updates with ample freebies (free upgrades and mounts) to make f2p possible. Not easy, but possible. Cons: – Unplayable for mobile users, unless you get lucky. Game consistently crashes during peak player hours at maps/activities (such as boss hunting) and for certain features. This makes progression in the game infuriating because hunting field bosses, pvp, etc. Are core components to progression for any f2p. – Predatory monetizing to the point where there will literally be a pop-up advertisement to spend $80 on something loosely related to your level-up, upgrade, whatever you just did. Aesthetic upgrades, like costumes and mounts, are obtainable only by paying money – which is fine – but mounts provide space for additional stats, incentivizing those that want to power-up their character to buy them. – Difficult to progress and participate in game features unless you spend money. Bulk of the playerbase are endgame and the difficulty of activities (field boss hunting) adheres to that, making anyone who isnt keeping up with their power-up systems be ran over, killed instantly, and/or crash after being killed because the mobile client is not stable. – Many upgrade systems to keep track of (and these are also monetized persistently), which can be a turn-off for some.
It had so much potentials. We uninstalled because it is an auto play game. Like why would we want to play a game that plays itself. Also why is there sooo many buttons and pop ups.
Suddenly we can no longer use large HP potions unless Im level 90?! This was a very bad move on the developers part! Put it back the way it was!! You might just lose a customer and your chance to get any money if you dont. Fair warning. We CAN do without your game and so can others. Listen to your customers.
Unless you spend $$$ will always be weak.
Needs remote controller support.
Make accessible to use with a controller.
This game is really fun, but we refuse to play anymore until the constant crashes are fixed.
This game has been crashing ever since we first played it and Im just so over mobile games that crashes alot and now we cant log back in because of it.
We are a big fan but we think we are banned from it for some reason not sure though so if you want fun play ni no kuni.
Es mucho mejor jugar con control en mobile porfavor que sea posible.
This game crashes sooooooooooooo much on mobile Im about to snap our phone in half. We dont run a single other app at the same time either. Mobile players are at a MASSIVE disadvantage over anyone on PC. But its a MOBILE GAME. ??? Cant use MARBLEX wallet on mobile??? WHY.
