the continuous powercreep is annoying, mainly because it makes me bored in using older characters which are the only ones I have, and the new characters that I don't have have more interesting gameplay which is unfair. The current main quest is kinda boring and I stopped doing it because it's quite long. overall a 5 star if it weren't for the powercreep... and also the lack of new four star characters is notable.

This game is certainly better than a lot of competitors, but it has drawbacks. The power creep is there. It feels awful to try and get a character you really like only for that character to be outclassed 1 patch later. The enemies in end game content are becoming increasingly difficult with high hp and damage that older characters have a harder time clearing. A lot of characters have useless eidolons, they don't make enough male characters, and they are not f2p friendly with 4 stars. Do better.

Game looks good visually, but is not worth your time in the end. This game focuses way too much on "teams" instead of individual characters. Meaning that if you like a specific character, but don't necessarily like the "team" that the developers intended that character to be played with, you'd be better off just not picking up that character at all, because their performance will likely be drastically reduced outside of that team. I won't even speak on the horrible monetization practices.

I've been playing since launch and my overall opinion on this game is mostly positive. My only problem is from the recent version, specifically on how the game plays out the main story of amphoreus. Each new trailblaze quest has at least 6-8 hours of characters talking, and 15 minutes of those are cutscenes. The devs could honestly shorten the dialogues if they just animate a lot of that stuff. The story and concept is good, I just wished the devs knew how to execute it properly.

There's increased uncertainty in my excitement for the game now. Power creep is inevitable, but the constant pattern of 'needing' certain characters to ensure other characters work well to gain maximum rewards for challenges like MoC worries me, as do the uneven amount of time needed for meagre rewards in some puzzles. The dialogue, while improved from the last version, still feels a little clunky. Hope for more improvement in the next version.

The storylines are really good, I admit they're quite dialogue heavy but I enjoy the lore, especially for Penacony and Amphoreus. I wasn't keen on turn-based fighting at first, but now I really love the gameplay! During the boss fights, the cutscenes and OSTs really make the experience! Character designs are perfect, with great fighting styles. Grinding is pretty easy and doesn't take too long. I only started playing a few months ago and it's already one of my favourites - second only to wuwa :D

I really enjoy this game. I've never had to spend money to keep up or get many of the cool characters I really wanted. The main character is so silly, too. It's a very mobile friendly game, plus I can generally play pretty casually but still keep up. I came from Genshin Impact first, but it became too much for me to keep up with as my career demanded more time. Star Rail has been a great alternative.

a game i've really enjoyed since day 1. solid story telling, great characters, and it's a game that works really well on mobile due to its combat mechanics. it's low maintenance and easy to do dailies too. plus, even though it's a little picky, it does support controller input which makes it easier to enjoy the longer story quests since i don't have to hold the phone for hours. The lack of a Mac version is disappointing though.

Excellent graphics, amazing story, solid game play and great soundtracks. I understand the concern of powercreep, but it's basically inevitable in this type of games. When so many people are asking to skip the story (which would take off most of the part that makes this game so addicting), how else are you supposed to sell charachters? On the other hand, the developers are already doing a great job in balancing things out. Maybe a couple more events per patch would be great.

I love this game so much, but it's just so laggy. It's a fault on my end due to having barely any space and using an android. the characters, the story, the everything is amazing. honestly, there aren't many male characters, but I'd rather have less amazing male characters than just some bad ones they put in for the people who cry about too many female characters.
