LMAO so wait, you mean to tell me from Feb 2023 to the begining of October this year, the devs couldn't raise enough money to keep the servers on for this game??? GEE I WONDER WHY!! It couldn't have been because this game focused more on microtransactions than actual good gameplay, right? Noooooooo, that couldn't be.
Pressing -S- to spit on its grave. A part of me DOES feel bad about this dying because it HAD potential, but they REALLY dropped the ball here. Clearly the devs were only in this for the money. Theres so many other waifu games that actually give a crap about fans and QOL, theres no excuse why this couldn't do the same.
And the worst part... THIS WAS A KICKSTARTER GAME!! Imagine being a backer for this and realizing you paid for a ftp game that only lasted 2 and a half years. What suckers!! Everyone involved in this can share a special place in hell for this pyramid-scheme of a game. Read Note

With the new update, we finally have an Ines relationship story. There are now only 4 girls left (3 if you don't count the dog) that need relationship stories and then the game will finally feel "complete".

So whats the deal with updates on QooApp? Does the publisher/developer have to push them or is it QooApp's job? This thing on QooApp has been out of date since its release, however the playstore version is WAY ahead.

It took a long time but I finally was able to 5-star a character for the very first time. This game has RIDICULOUS star rank requirements where you need HUNDREDS of character/puzzle pieces to star-up.
The good news is that once you reach 5 stars, you can recycle those pieces for medals to get better rewards. The bad news is the piece-to-medal ratio makes no sense whatsoever. Read Note

Hey, remember that Maximilia chick that was shown in the game and took part in the main story then dissapeared forever? Well it seems like they are hinting that she is FINALLY going to be playable at some point.
These specific sub-stories take place after the final boss in that skybox level and involve that new nurse character that they just released. They go through the memories of Maximilia while also "curing" her before she joins the Vanguards. They also hint that Min Enusol might have some sort of relation to this whole fiasco.
Reminder that Min Eusol is one of the two A ranks that doesn't have a relationship story (the other one being Nonoha) so we might see a relationship story for her as well. Very promising things to come in the future! Read Note

With each new server, the chat gets weirder and weirder. ![[汗顏]](/cdn/img/transparent.png)
It's embarassing I have to share the same space with these "people" Read Note

So in the newest update (which affects all new servers) they now have a level system for character pulls. One of the complaints of this game was that Diva was the only UR you could realistically get via free. everything else above SSR was locked behind special events. So now only the SP ranks are locked behind special events with SOME (not all) of the UR ranks available at certain level pulls.
The bad news is that now skill pulls are no longer THE important pulls to use. Before this update, skill pulls had a max level of 15 and once you reached a certain rank with them (which is easy to do because not only are they cheaper, but the game gives you skill tickets like candy), you could use the lowest SR ranks and still dominate from having a high-as-hell skill bonus with the best skill weapons in the game. Now with UR characters being easier to obtain, you can pretty much treat skills as an after-thought. They are important, but not a big deal if you don't have high rank skills. Read Note

Serious Question:
How much money would you have to realistically spend in order to get this far of progress in the game on a new server? I'm only on Chapter 26 after starting a new game on a brand new server on August 23rd. It is now the 29th. There is no friggen way anyone realistically can get this far without dropping a gigantic amount of money on this game.
This game purposefully locks features behind a timer (e.g. 4 days for one feature, 8 days for another feature, etc...) so you can't utilize everything until about 10+ days when all the features have been unlocked. Not to mention in order to level up your dawn bringer. you have to leave the game alone while it plays itself (not close the game, but actually keep the game on and walk away while it uses supplies killing enemies). Unless the developers are making bot accounts with tremendous amounts of perks, the only other thing I can think of is that someone somewhere thought it was a good idea to spend a crapload of their money on this game.
These are the people that are the reason why gaming as a hobby sucks now... because companies see this and immediately realize they can get away with this kind of scummy crap without putting in any kind of effort and dev time... time that could have been better spent balancing the game into something better and non-preditory with these crappy microtransactions.

WTF is with this game and making people act like spergs? Is it really necessary to copy/paste the same crap in the same language? Why the hell is this game even getting this amount of attention? It's not that good... at all!!
If you ever needed proof that QooApp is filled with bots/children/foreigners spamming crap constantly, heres it is plain as day. Read Note

FINALLY! I was able to snipe a new server just as it opened and got 1st place on a couple of things. Of course, a few hours later, the whales ruined it, but I did the impossible for a brief moment

You know, I'm only now realize that I'm the only idiot that gives a crap about this game, at least on QooApp, because I'm the only one posting notes about it.
I guess it's because this game is simple and entertaining to keep my attention, and yet the devs will just do dumb things with this game that the drama and stupidity around it is also entertaining. Read Note

To reiterate my point about bots, this is a typical message you would get once you get to where you can join an aliance and add friends. These messages were sent to me on different days, as if the bot bugged out and forgot it had already messaged me. This happens on EVERY server, so you can't escape them.
By the way, this isn't the only game this happens on. Idle Angels is another game that has chat bots, and the thing is, they NEVER used to have them. I think after the latest anniversary or two was when they started showing up.
Lets get something straight, developers... chat bots are NOT how you create engagement. It has to come naturally from other players. I don't care that you're from China and want to add me on Discord (which I don't even have or use at all anyways), get rid of this crap. In fact, just do away with bots all together. No more bots in gacha games would make the experience slightly more enjoyable Read Note

Either this game is bugged, or it absolutely needs Google services, because it flashes this error and then crashes everytime I open it.

You got to wonder what goes through people's minds when they pull crap like this.
Here we have a new game that has just been released and already the reviews look like this. What the hell? How is this helpful in ANY way whatsoever???
To someone normal, this looks like the dev/publisher is bot farming reviews. Either that, or QooApp is filled with braindead foreigners/children/both that will 5 star anything that pops on this platform. And then people wonder why this place is going down the toilet. Read Note

So I decided to do a bot test on this game to see if free players can get anywhere near a high rank, and the answer is... kinda?
Bots DO exist, but it seems to be mostly chat bots that insta-message you as soon as they friend request you... all from ching-chong land, of course. The chat pattern is all the same too... "where you from, how old are you, do you have a discord". Basically the same kind of stuff that infects online dating sites on the daily.
Regarding ranks, the best way to even have a possible chance is to server snipe. Basically as soon as a new one is available, IMMEDIATELY make a new account on it. For me, the new server appeared between 3pm and 4pm EST. In the time I started the new game to now, I was able to get 3rd place in PVP, 2nd place in corridor, and 1st place in the drilling minigame. Of course that didn't last long... the whales started showing up hours later to ruin everything (like they always do). But even then, I'm in a pretty good position (ranks between 10s and 20s). Way better than being behind a crap-ton of people by about 100 ranks and millions of attack power.
EDIT: So after a few days on the server, I'm back down a bunch of points in the rankings. My conclusion is that it doesn't matter, forget rankings. Whales/Bots are going to ruin the experience no matter what. Just enjoy the game with whatever team you want. Read Note

This game has a really odd... i guess "anti-cheat" check? If you have the app "klick'r" installed it will shut down and tell you to uninatall it.
AFAIK this game doesn't even have a mechanic where you would be able to use klick'r. It's your standard RPG game, albeit not in english, that doesn't have you mashing the screen really fast (or even swiping fast). Read Note

This game no longer works. It just hangs on a black screen. That also includes the bajillion clones with different names, which btw are no longer on the play store. If you go on their website and try to download any of their four apks you get a 404 error.

Gotta say, if this game has a downside, its the progression and how it tanks once you reach lv 200. Everything goes to a VERY slow crawl as you lather/rinse/repeat the same actions while only getting little rewards from them.
I get it's a gacha game but CHRIST is this one of the most annoying things about them. Read Note

So on the playstore, they updated the gameplay pictures, and they wind up looking WORSE than what they had before... like the pictures on QooApp look better because thats what the game kinda looks like. These new pictures though? False Advertisement to a "T". That only happens ONCE when you first install the game, and even then you don't get duplicates or bombarded with THAT many enemies. Why the hell would the devs go out of their way to make their game look much worse than how it really does? Are they mental?
By the way, this game is STILL a war zone in the reviews. It's so obvious the devs are paying for bots because you see the same "plays as advertised" comments multiple times. Meanwhile the legit complaints are getting hidden and buried by the bots.
For the record, after trying it again after the last time I played it ( MONTHS ago ) they definitely messed with it in the worse way. Good news is that the clothes aren't censored anymore, but DawnBringer is STILL covered, so no butt cheek shots anymore
Regarding gameplay, it feels like they either nerfed the bullets or gave the enemies more health because now it takes longer to kill them when before even with the low rank characters they would go down easily. DawnBringer in particular seems the most nerfed when I distinctly remember she was O.K. even in her beginning form

Can't wait for this game to be a huge dissapointment when it finally releases. Nevermind the booba bait, you know a company is desperate when they are baiting people with a Nintendo Switch 2 of all things. The hype is not worth it, for BOTH this game and yhe console... they are both crap.

Do not play this game! It takes FOREVER to download and doesn't even run properly. The devs will most likely mess this up in future updates like they did with "Run Godess".

So get this... while the devs are trying to put out the flames on this trashfire (and doing a TERRIBLE job at it btw), they decide to release ANOTHER clone... that doesn't even work properly. I tested it myself and I can't even get past the title screen without crashing constantly.

Who the hell are these "people" that are giving this game a high rating? Either they are bots, working with the devs, or just masochists that like playing with crap. The funny thing is that they all started appearing as soon as this game started to get review-bombed. Really makes you think.
