When I first saw this game I thought it was going to be like pokemon. And I was SOOO WRONG!! This game is a wonderful adventure full of things you can do outside of the story line, there’s even social platforms with other players if you have questions or need help! The whole thing is quite positive, the summonings may look a little 18+ but there not really. And with that all the available characters you can get if you just stop to interact with bushes or people on the way is amazing!! Half of my team are just awesome people I fought! It doesn’t have any effect on the story line to change out a few “main characters”. Even if the character you have is weak you can get weapons for them and little add one to make them more powerful! Is a blast!! You will find some similarities with Pokémon based on evolution, bushes and a few more.. but that’s what makes this game more fun! You feel a small connection to it that makes your heart warm a little. Even if you play and don’t agree with me, this game is still a fun one and worth the time to download.

I discovered this game through ads. And it was the usual, ads are nothing like the actual game. The ads portrayed a completely different game. The multiple ads I saw showed an open world exploration rpg with horror and mystery elements. This is not true. The game is, yes, a mostly open world rpg when npcs aren’t blocking your way. Horror is nowhere to be found. I’m mostly through the offline story and most of it was a stereotypical op main character and fighting the bad guys with an all-to generic plot. I say almost through the story because I’ve reached a point where I can’t get any further- all my characters are too weak. But the rate of getting an SSR character is absolutely horrendous, as the other reviews have said. It’s a very pay to win kind of gatcha, so I’m entirely screwed. I’ve hit a dead end playing a game I’d hoped would turn into what I was anticipating. What’s more, I was completely unaware fighting was part of the game until coming to the App Store. But this is where the game shines. It’s a challenging battle and strategy set up. I don’t tend to like battling games like this but I did enjoy it enough to play until I reached my dead end. The game is also beautiful. It’s semi pixelated but still rather pretty. I’m very disheartened as I was excited to play this imaginary game the ads showed off. But the game proves to be entertaining enough to a point.

I got this game and plowed through the main Offline story in a week. It's an enjoyable, pokemon-esque feel. Then, reality sets in... the developers hate new players and want to bleed you dry. First off all...SSR character draw rates are abysmal. At best, on banners for specific characters, you have .07% chance of summoning. You are, however, guaranteed for 1 in 500 summons, minimum. The only SSR guaranteed summons are for paid stones, which costs $24. Not worth it. New players struggle to hit 1 million power in a single battalion, so forget about raids or towers getting you good rewards, and with such limited mana, I find myself grinding low levels for limited time events. I wish there was a way to get guaranteed SSR characters: even just the crestbearer versions of Finn and Rizette maybe. Many other gachas give you a chance to get free 5 star or SSR characters that are surprisingly good without the need to rely on summons (and their SSR summoning banners have better odds). I'm talking about games like Another Eden. This game is fun, but it's been out for years. A F2P player like me would take years to get any decent fighters worth having since I can't advance in Arena, can't climb much higher than floor 40 in tower, can't complete EX dungeons for limited events, and can't participate in raids. This is a paid app... or it was when I got it. I wish they would stop trying to bleed me dry
