I like the gameplay and battles, the abundance of characters and leveling them up, the rarity of acquiring elite characters, the story behind the basis of the game, and the online guild wars and competing against other players from around the world. However, I did not rate this as a 5/5 because as a longtime gamer and huge fan of RPG style games, the offline story mode is very simple and straightforward, not long enough, not enough exploring options, the story is incredibly wordy (3/4 of the game is slow storyline), and you can only catch the specialty creatures once. I have not encountered them again while grinding XP. The idea of catching certain creatures and upgrading them to use as potential party members is a very interesting idea which I like, however they quickly become obsolete once you begin the online story mode and begin collecting elite characters. I would like to see an online open world roaming portion of the game similar to the offline gameplay. As you level up I would like to be able to increase the max amount of mana available used in the online story mode and the other timed storylines, especially since the amount needed increases as you progress. And if you don’t intend to spend real world money in the game, the enjoyment of the game can be short-lived and take awhile to play. Overall, it is a fun collect-them-all game. Something also needs to be done in the game about excess character shards. Like allow them to be refunded or reforged for soul stones or something.

I like this game but they don’t tell you how to do some things. One being how to combine character for higher levels or to get their star. Yes, you can fiddle around or look it up. I payed just to play so I shouldn’t have to look it up. Also my game kept crashing and telling me you’re not connected to the internet and I was in fact connected to it. Then it black screened and I had to delete the game and reload. This is the other part. Theirs a data recovery and download all buttons on the main page. I thought data recovery was to recover my lost stuff from when I played but it deletes it and replaced it with data of when you have to play the intro again. When I realized it was download it was to late. Download all I think was to get my old data back. I put hours into the game and it’s all gone. I’m just glade I didn’t put money into it except when you first get it. Love the art and characters fell the story could have been longer for what is pretty much an intro. However, I feel online and offline gameplay unnecessary because once you finish the first half it’s not necessary anymore and the catching element of the game is lost. Why have it at all if you can just put a free pull for the same thing. Not to mention if you do pull the majority of the monsters you can get in offline aren’t even useful especially for the online part. Then why go from being able to run around to not. It’s like they can’t decide which direction to go in. I like both ideas but I’d prefer just one.

The only reason I played this game is because of the story. Yeah, the story. But after I beat chapter 11 I realize they haven’t update the story for a few years. Because of that I went depress for the whole week. Now that I think about it, Mabel they stop working on the story because they found out that thicc characters with no story background whatsoever is making more money than their main storyline that apparently no one gives a sxxt about. But maybe I’m wrong because they are actually updating the original storyline in the “original world” which is proven by this update and the “fate/zero” prequel of the main character’s dad. BUT EVEN IF THEY ARE ACTUALLY UPDATING THE SIDE STORY I STILL DON’T THINK THEY ARE GONNA UPDATE THE MAINSTORYLINE BECAUSE ITS MAKING THEM NO MONEY. And this can be proven by their character art style, the original art style is a very classic fantasy art style with beautiful details but after they found out that fantasy can’t beat cultured art, then they start making cultured characters that actually had a “reason” to be cultured but idk why but for some reason all they draw now is cultured characters and stop update the storyline and start powercreping old characters to a point that new one characters can bossraid an entire team of old characters which make me very sad since this game is actually a “turn-based ‘strategy’ game” with really good game mechanics. But at the end, all I want to say is PLEASE UPDATE THE MAIN STORYLINE and I don’t care about anything else.
