Not for new players
Not my usual type of game, but it looked interesting. Thought I would try it however there’s no tutorial or instructions so if you don’t know how to play this type of game, you have zero access to it because it was not intuitive.
アクション好きな人にも、アクション苦手な人にもおすすめ
ゲームとしてはアクションゲーが前に出てきていて、キャンプ機能やストーリーは、かなり控えめな内容になっています。 その分、アクション自体は結構楽しい。 難易度を下げられるので、スマホでも最後までクリア可能です。短時間でクリアできるのも良き ここから少し苦言 ストーリーがかなり薄味です。本当に薄いです。 RPGツクールに最初から入っている、お手本用ゲームレベルです。 キャンプ要素も、飾るだけって感じで、クラフトなどはないです。本当に飾るだけ。 ストーリーや臨場感を重要視する人にはお勧めできません。
Lags since update
Fun game, interesting story. Just picked it up again today after the latest update. Game used to run smooth, but now it is lagging and stuttering so much I can’t play it anymore on my iPad Pro M4 with OS 26.5. Would be a 5 star jrpg experience otherwise, but right now, it is unplayable for me.
操作
めちゃくちゃやりにくい ここの作者は どういうふうに操作してるの？ とにかく攻撃が届き難くなってる。 攻撃する度に前に移動するの多いけど流行ってるの？ ストレス増えるだけなんだけど
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
The best game ever this is all I will say because of how good it is! 🤩
No controls on iPhone and bug report won’t accept input
This game is impossible to play without controls, tried to put in a bug report and it asks for a date time and won’t accept any format I tried, and I tried a bunch American and European
バグ？環境依存？
主ディスプレイではないモニターでフルスクリーンでプレイしようとすると右に寄っていき1/4が見えない状態になる Macでプレイするのが難しそうなのでiPadでプレイすることにする
Lag lag lag
The first stage was interesting enough, but the game got progressively laggier even after I set the “frame rate” to performance.
Controller support
The game works with controllers. My backbone app says it does not. Which is strange because I’m using it to play… super fun game though
No game
Game doesn't load at all on iphone 13pro
HYKE northern lights
Great game but don’t know how to beat it
悪くはないが
文字が小さくて読みづらい
absolute cinema
absolute cinema
Practically Unplayable
Game looks interesting but the lag is so bad, I can’t even get through the tutorial. I’ll rate higher if something is done about it
Great game
I love the game and it’s great to play, but I wish there were more rotational options for tents and items, I hope there is something they can do
애매애매애매
전체적으로 애매한 게임… 가디언테일즈 하위호환
Harmonious
Within the first few minutes of exploring and listening to the soundtrack, you are filled with a sense of adventure and peace whilst the animation of the characters reminds me of Maple story it makes it that much more entertaining and fun. Perfect for any age range!
CANT Open
The game might be good, but when I try open it I am met with a black screen that doesn’t change? Please help.
クラッシュ
iOS 14.7.1 は、ゲームに入るとすぐにクラッシュします
Choppy
I really wanted to like this game, but the choppy movement and unresponsive, laggy controls make it hard to enjoy.
Coolest
I looooooooooove this
Unplayable on my iPad
Frame rate drops so low the game cannot be played on an A18 iPad.
:/
Fun, but in a boss fight, there’s too much going on, i cant track where the boss is, and it keeps kicking me out. Btw I have adventure mode on. But besides this it’s a gorgeous game, and I love it!
比较轻松玩起来，很温柔的画风
小清新风格，边过关边有一些剧情
加载不出来！
根本就看不到火焰，那个箱子攻击了也没反应。
Bug??
Ok uhhh I just need to know, how the hell do you play as Riko ?? Because like, Safari isn’t giving me any help and I have no idea how to play as Riko, I jst wanted to play as her but the controls all only for Controller or Keyboard, but of course I’m on mobile, I mean, safari told me how but like, that isn’t really help?? Also all the videos I tried looking up were absolutely pointless, so I jst need to know how to change as characters !! Thank you 🥹🥹
my fav off Apple Arcade
I love this game! The art style is super pretty. I love the pixels too. I especially appreciate how it isn’t too fanservice-y. There are so many games out there that over sexualize all the fem-presenting characters. Ngl, the alien character is a bit weird but all the other characters are fine. The hot springs update was super fun to play. I can’t wait for the next little journey!
Unplayable due to lag
I struggled my way through the tutorial hoping that I would get some kind of “Resources downloading” screen to explain why it’s so laggy, but nothing. I restarted my iPad as well in case that was the cause, and still no luck. Simply tapping the screen to progress dialogue can take upwards of 15-20 seconds to process. I have the M5 iPad Pro too, so it’s not like I don’t have the resources for a pixel game. I’ll give the game another try in a few weeks to see if it improves. No update here means still laggy.
cool game
love all designs and art directions, could see the hardwork that went into this game some nitpicks, slow ui, i feel like the menu feels really laggy to me, deters me from playing a little. the idle animations a bit much and repetitive during cutscenes imo. i feel like they take away from a characters vibe during dialogue.
Amazing game :)
I absolutely love this game so so much, the music and art is so beautiful and the story makes me want to never stop playing. The characters are so well written and during combat they all have their own advantages. I really enjoy how the story unfolds and how you get to see everything come together, thank you
Game won’t load
I will rate this higher when it actually works on my phone.
全然普通にプレイできます
まだ序盤なので中身について何とも言えませんが、とりあえずプレイは快適です。 美少女が戦う系のゲームはあんまり好んでやらないんですけど、試しにダウンロードしてみたらタイトル画面のアートと音楽がめちゃくちゃ良くて、それだけで一気に引き込まれました。 システム面ですが、改善してほしいところとしては画質オプションを追加してほしいです。スマホゲーなので、省電力設定があるとないとじゃ大違いなので。
Good game
5 stars 10 if I could it does have lag but great game and how do you use blood magic? I love it I rec to all gamers nice job devs
Can’t play :(
This game looks SO FUN AND COOL, but it’s getting stuck on the loading screen for Chapter 0, so I can’t play it. I’d be happy to change the rating to 5 stars, just PLEASE FIX IT SO I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME :(
Great game but one problem
So i think everything about this game is absolutely amazing, from the graphics to the gameplay mechanics. But I’m gonna cut to the chase. Every time I try to load chapter 6, the entrance scene plays and it starts loading the next part, then the game crashes and kicks me off. I don’t know if it’s the iPad version im playing on or if its a bug, but if you have any suggestions i need the help.
