I honestly don't get how people can claim this is a good game. I stand by my original review that the system is flawed to be against the user, especially free ones.
I restarted from the beginning and in ONE day, after grinding to level 27 using all the gems to recharge the energy, I'm STILL not able to 3 star a mission that has a recommended level 10 requirement. In any other game I would be flooring the CPU like it was nothing. ALL of these characters are gimped, and upgrading them is a hassle because they give you very little upgrade gems for dupe summons.
It's a shame that the devs put all the work into the characters and story, only to completely kill it with this horrible gameplay mechanic. Read Note

I guess I beat the game?
Didn't get a credit sequence but I'm to assume this is the end. I beat the final boss and got the last golden upgrade

So do the devs have any plans to make relationships a thing for these ladies, or are they just forever locked?

A Really Odd Match 3
So I have the game installed, but it still won't let me rate it, so I'm doing it here.
First of all it's the first Match 3 I've played where you can set the game to automatically play the game for you, so it defeats the puropse of actually playing. Second, this isn't a traditional match 3 as you can move pieces to unmatched areas to reach the areas that do match. The "goal" is to upgrade your match pieces so you can defeat the enemies that attack you once you run out of moves, which you have to do a total of FIVE TIMES in a stage. This makes the stages drag on for way more than they should. The girls you collect wind up being the pieces you can set on the board and they all have different attacks.
Since this is an H-game, of course it has H-scenes, and they are very graphic... like you can see inside the women's womb. Is playing the game worth it though? Meh... to be honest there's better games on EroLabs that are worth more your time. Star Lust is one of them... an entertaining SHUMP where you're actually doing things. Read Note

This is my current team, and I'm noticing when it comes to the gacha this game suffers the same issue that Figure Fantasy suffers from... VERY low yellow rank pull rates, purples/blues have an upgrade limit cap.
This is even worse in this game because the story is 100000X better than Figure Fantasy's story. I'm on Chapter 11 and the progress wall just hit to where I need to play other modes and wait for the outpost to fill up, because you can't exactly "grind" in this game. Read Note

I've been doing surprisingly well with the lower ranks. Only higher rank I've been using is Bedivier, but only because I was lucky enough to get her fully transcended with all the summons I've been doing, including maxing out her card.

Just a head's up, if you're using an ad blocker (which you should), theres one address in particular you have to whitelist, otherwise the game will error-loop. Doing a quick google search reviels it to be some kind of DRM anti-cheat, which explains why it's on a blocklist to begin with.

Ines is AMAZING!!!
Idk why I didn't use this character before, she just completely wipes entire teams away with one swipe. Combined with a healer, and Nonoha's wind shield skill, and she can even survive underleveled.
If the gacha mechanics weren't garbage, I would instantly SS+ whatever rank her up in a heartbeat. Read Note

lol holy crap, I've never seen a game get so much hate that my front page would be FLOODED with 1 out of 5 reviews. Glad to see the China hate though, they more than deserve it.

So it seems like QooApp has an automated system where it will auto NSFW pictures you upload if it sees something that MIGHT be unsafe even though it's safe. Happened to me twice so far, but this is a bad idea in general, as it...
1. Confirms my suspition that QooApp is filled with bots that real human users are unfortunately interacting with to help QooApp's machines learn.
2. Is a form of soft censorship, as not every post is NSFW.
Seems like QooApp is starting to have more negatives than positives Read Note

So I'm pretty sure nipples are supposed to be located on the middle/bottom-middle of the tits, but somehow, with little to no coverage, they just don't exist in this game? So to bypass the adult rating, they just erase the nipples. That's dumb.

This translation is terrible!!!
"SUS"? "Y'all"? Who the hell thought it was a good idea to let reddit write this dialogue? Is it too much to ask to not have this crap in translations?? The people that support this are just as bad as the writers. We deserve better accurate japanese translations. These writers deserve to be fired!

So something of note that I found out aboutthis game just now.
So to save space, they merge old servers into newer ones, which whatever, makes sense. However, the requirements to keep your account is ridiculously high. Two in particular are...
-Must be at lv 100 or above
-Must be at VIP1
So basically if you're a free player, you're S.O.L. because you need to spend money to get VIP1, and even then, you're on a time limit to reach lv 100 because the drop rates for SS and SSS ranks are atrocious. Hell, even S ranks are rare. It doesn't help that you can't progress far because if your power is too low, it prevents you from going to the next stage. So you'll be stuck behind a progress wall for quite some time at higher levels. For context, my last playtime was today at lv 96 with 5 Four Star S ranks with a power level of 11.7 million, and it's still not powerful enough to progress.
This is a scummy practice, and it's no wonder peopke drop this game like flies. In my review I mention other limitations, but this takes the cake. Very anti-consumer/anti-player. Read Note

You know, if someone told me by just going off of these pics that these are two completely different games, I wouldn't believe them.
WTF happened to games? Seriously everything is the same copy/paste job with a different name. You can't tell me you're getting the same value as you did back in the 90s NES/Genesis era. This is depressing as hell. Read Note

So after playing this game on Nutaku for a month or two, I noticed one glaring issue I didn't mention in the review. Character rank and acquisition.
So the green ones you start with are the common ranks... except they stop being common after you reach a certain level and you wind up having the blues replace them... the RARE blues. What's worse is that at another higher level you unlock modification. This takes the lower ranks and recycles their level up points to give to the higher ranks. Also recruit pulls are ONLY blue and higher ranks. This means you have a bunch of dud characters you will never touch or max out... that is unless you PURPOSEFULLY stay at a low level (which is easy to do since you can loose commander level points if you loose).
This heavily limits team building, as the lower ranks have good abilities but can't be utilized if the game just forces you to forget about them. Some greens have a second ability you can't unlock until they're at level 11, but you'll never get that far with them, so it's pointless. This game needs a HEAVY re-balance to where the green commons are, you know... COMMON. All too often, these kinds of games treat the lower ranks like shit, and that's because the devs PURPOSEFULLY handicap them (level/rank caps being the most common). Leave the lower ranks alone and allow them to reach their full potential like all the other ranks. Read Note

So I decided to test out the ONE Store version of this and yea... its SO much better. The QooApp version is the censored Google Play version. On the other store, you get to see everything once the ladie's affection reaches 4 and 5 (max).
Only downside to ONE Store is that you need a google account to sign in. It should act like other stores in which you can sign in using an anon account.
If QooApp had any balls, they would axe the censored version and replace it with the ONE version. For all their talk about 17+/18+ apps, they never deliver on what guys want out of it. Not only does this app deliver, but its a really fun game too. IMO the perfect package. Read Note

Seems like this game is no longer in service? Unless it's using googleapi to check the server info (I doubt it), this is all I keep getting. I noticed it hasn't seen an update since last year. QooApp should delist this.

Is there a reason why QooApp is having TWO pre-register events for the SAME GAME??? Don't even say "well one is 18+" because that doesn't mean squat. "How To Raise A Harem" is 18+ but theres no nudity in it. Actual 18+ would be the stuff that's on Nutaku/Erolabs. Both of these games are in english too btw so it's even more redundant.
Are people on here really that stupid to fall for such an obvious grift? Read Note

EDIT: I got rid of the 2 Sabrinas and replaced them with 2 regular Gengars. Only downside is that it needs 2 energy to retreat
Another new deck idea. This one I've been having fun with.
It's the first TRIPLE element deck, revolving around the elemental trio of fighting-psychic-dark. All pokemon only use 1 energy for attacks and retreats, which makes setting up super simple. Unfortunately their attack power is s bit on the low side, but that's where the Giovani card comes in handy. Read Note

I came up with two more deck ideas with mixed results.
1. Lilligant's Garden. Lilligant acts like a grass type Gardevoir, giving grass energy to Venusaur to set up it's attack easier. You can switch regular Venusaur with EX if you want, but I like using the regular one.
2. The Swan Priness. Based on the 1994 animated movie. Since Swanna doesnt need a specific energy to attack, Gardevoir can just give it energy for days.
Feel free to test out these decks youself. Read Note

These Swamp Elves are amazing! Great AOE attacks, good damage, curvy/sexy as hell, and so far have been evading a lot of attacks. If they had health recovery, they would be perfect!

Another custom deck I built, this time using TWO types instead of one. Water/Fighting deck that punishes the opponent for attacking you. No Sabrina this time, as this deck's main focus is to set-up as quickly as possible while disrupting your opponent from setting up their team before you do.
All of my decks are mainly for casual play, you might get some luck competitively though. Read Note

Another custom deck I came up with called "Number 1 Bugs". This is a deck in which only requires one energy for everything (hence the name), with Beedril being the strongest card in the deck. Unlike the other decks I've built, this one doesn't use potions, but instead has Erika doing the healing job. Scyther and Venomoth hold the fort with the latter inflicting poison.
This is absolutely a casual style deck. Your uses competitively won't be as successful. This deck does better if you get tails, since this game has that dumb rule about not being able to use energy on the very first turn. Read Note

Here's another simple deck I came up with called "Defensive Gengar". It's mostly trainer cards with only two Pokemon (Mr. Mime and the Gengar line).
The key here is to have Mr. Mime hold the fort while you power up your Gastly into Gengar. The trainer cards do multiple tasks of giving you the evo cards you need and screwing with your opponent so they don't wind up getting the upper hand.
So far I've had better luck with this deck than my last one in battles, so its a semi-serious deck that can be used both casually and competitively. Read Note

Heads Up For Anyone That Wants To Play This Game
For some reason it absolutely needs Google Play to be enabled and updated in order to play this game. Otherwise it'll spit out an "IAP_ERROR" message at you and then force crash the game (IAP = In-App Purchases)
I have Google Play disabled and use Aurora Store for all my non QooApp downloads. This also means all in-app purchases are turned off by default. I am still able to play games with no issues. This is the first time I've encountered a game that just straight-up blocks you from playing if you have those specific services turned off. Only other game I can think of that pulls something similar is Pokemon Go, where you need to have the latest play services updated in order to play the game.
This game, even with an ad-blocker, does not respect your privacy or your freedom to do what you want to with your phone. Therefore, you should avoid this game, especially since it seems like other people are having bugs/issues with it as well. Read Note

Does anyone actually "play" these VNs by this developer? How are these things getting high reviews when they are basically the same cookie-cutter story with different characters? You can't even get the better choice without using currency. This smells like some tax write-off scam.

That's pretty much the gist of it. They have an event going on right now where you get 10 free 10 pulls, which is both good and bad because even though you have a lot of girls, you don't really get a chance to play and experiment, especially if you get a lot of the really high ranked ones early on.
