Heads up, this is no longer a QooApp "exclusive", Erolabs added this on their catalogue not too long ago, so you're better off playing that version instead if you really have to for whatever reason. It's still a bland game IMHO, but they are handing out free gems and summons like candy. Don't know how long it'll last.

Whales are TRUELY the bane of my mobile gaming experience. So much so that I officially have Whale Fatigue. There is nothing more painfully frustrating than getting to a high rank via hard work and effort to all of a sudden having all of that GONE because some rando that just joined outranks you in hours because they decided to spend money like water.
Lets break this down... you are essentially spending money on a FREE TO PLAY game that is always online, so once the servers go down, thats it... your investment is no more. You don't get to own and keep what you paid for. You're essentially giving the developers free money for just existing, and the thanks you get is a dying game in the near future. You can't go back to these games 20+ years later to play with all the crap you bought, so whats the point? The truth is there isn't a point... all of you that partake in this behavior are suckers being tricked. Think for more than a minute about what you are spending money on!
You know whats worse? Guarentee half, if not most, of the whales are like 10 year olds that have no understanding of the value of money because they just use their parent's credit card whenever they want. These people ruined gaming and turned it into this crap, and the developers feed off of it. This is why they don't put effort anymore because there are too many stupid people that have invaded gaming and making everyone elses lives miserable. Read Note

If there is one MASSIVE flaw in this game, it's the timer... friggen thing doesn't stop after you beat a bunch of enemies, it keeps going during your action animations even when everything is dead. Morgan has a long one where she gets stuck in her portal attack and the timer is still counting down. This needs to be fixed ASAP where the timer pauses as soon as all the enemies die

On older servers, theres an exclusive mode called "Radar", in which you dispatch your characters to multiple missions to get rewards. Sometimes those rewards come in the form of fragments that also give rewards. The missions with swords is an immediate battle. The main reward is for an exclusive UR girl with an exclusive weapon linked to her.
Why they didn't keep this in the newer servers is beyond me. I don't see the issue with this, its already hard enough to get URs in this game, even with the revamped pull system on the new servers. This should have stayed. Read Note

... is this a joke? "More Ads for better rewards" is NOT the win this developer thinks it is. If anything, this just gives people another reason to use ad-blockers.

This game is no longer in service. Even with the vpn add-blocker turned off, the title screen loops with a network error.
Shsme too. Game was fun, at least before they added the purple power-ups. This series doesn't seem to last too long though, anything Wind Runner related just ups and dies in a short time. There were a few other games but they were all actual auto-runners. Read Note

So once again, a game that gets heavily advertised on QooApp winds up being a nothingburger. This is like, what... the 15th billionth time this has happened now? At least this year alone. Good news is that this time people have the guts to tell it like it is. All the other times everyone went on full defense mode for whatever crap came out.
So is it safe to say quality control is just completely dead on every app store and game shop ever created? Where is the passion? Where is the creativity? Where are the people that actually want to release a good product instead of useless trash that will be forgotten in a few days? Read Note

There needs to be a global rule on QooApp where if the developer/publisher is uploading an app, they need to make sure its working 100% without that stupid google protect or whatever else that crashes people's phones. A lot of new apps are refusing to work properly and I'm not the only one with this issue.
Also, the accounts on here that are spamming new game youtube videos with downloas links to google... those need to stop as well, as there is a 50/50 chance the game will actually launch. At this point you might as well be advertising that you're part of a "cool kids" club and no one else can enter it. Read Note

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

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!!

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

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.
