    If you don't find the gacha champion you want, then there is no point in playing this. In my case, they literally only have like 2 cool characters. Would be better off playing Fire Emblem Heroes.

    BTW, nice marketing campaign and Ninja character.

    I am torn with this game... I play the hell out of it. I like the variations in characters, the old-school final fantasy turn based dynamic, and the limitless variations in characters. I was once a paying member, and in the last three months i have stopped paying 20-60 bucks a week on this game because of its predatory practices.

I like the variations in characters, the old-school final fantasy turn based dynamic, and the limitless variations in characters. I was once a paying member, and in the last three months i have stopped paying 20-60 bucks a week on this game because of its predatory practices.

    I HATE the pay-to-win, whale war fiasco that this game utterly caters too. Once you complete the initial session on this game and hit around level 30-40ish the game utterly places a choke-hold on any substantial progress. The energy system for this game is predatory. In order to continue to play for random gear, characters, or development tools that sits at less than a .01% drop rate you expend this energy at a unmatched rate for regeneration.

    Leveling of gear, characters, or leveling/ascending potions is far more expensive than generated in game currency.

    Updates to the game are token at best, no game play changes that positively effect players, only updates that increase revenue choke holds for increased whaling. Arena/PVP is straight up Pay to Win with rewards for Pay-walled tier giving gear that clearly gives advantages.

    High Level gear is pay-walled at Platinum Tier and Youtubers are clearly receiving rewards or increased drop percentages versus regular players.

    The drop rates on this game are absolutely predatory in nature and i hold out hope that loot box legislation is passed and/or a class action suit is filed against this game for its false advertisement and unsubstantiated drop rates.

    This game has such great potential if it changes course. If not, its just another Whale War with a gluttonous developer screwing over its gamer base.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s only fun as long as the loot box style high lasts. Without dropping crazy amounts of money. You will find yourself leaving the game on auto with your phone plugged in just to grind enough to be competitive enough in the campaign. This doesn’t even touch going up against players who pay to win. But even that only goes so far when you run out of energy and have to buy more or only play 9-10 battles a day on harder levels. The game is beautiful and it’s fun to find new characters. But like a less fulfilling pack of magic or Pokémon cards. The excitement soon fades when the package is unwrapped and you’re left wishing you had someone to play with… Expand

    And this game is not the only one doing this; Use a tank template; or a Hentai/Japanese cute character with boobs template; or anyting else you may think of.

    edit: Played several more days and have to revise my review.
    Aside from pay2win, this game's mechanics, stats and balance is a complete broken mess. So i cant give it 3 anymore, cause money thrown on art alone dont make a game yet. So as a game it must have 0.

This is no game it is just a huge cash grab. Almost 0 chance to get any heroes nor anything. I don't even know how to get stronger since I don't drop anything at all. Really sad that people with 0 braincells are supporting and defending Pay2Win. Because of these people, there are NO non Pay2Win games on mobile anymore. These Casher just buy themselfs strong and beat everyone in PvP. As more you cash as stronger you get and no one can beat you. That's the sad focus in every game. Focus on PvP and milk these 0 braincells people who want to be the strongest. Also you get bombarded with Buy this and buy that Popups. When you login to the game you get like 10 popups in your face. Totally aggresive developer. The diamonds even hardly ever drop nor any summon shards at all. This game doesn't even have a gold dungeon where you can farm gold like in thousands of other games. Even Multi-Battle has a max amount you can do for free. Max 30 battles and if you want more, please pay cash. I realy just don't understand how this brutally Pay2Win game has such a hype.… Expand

    Horrible P2W gacha mobile garbage.
    Complete with auto-run feature to remove even the smallest glimpses of what could be considered "gameplay".
    Also, they poisoned many popular YouTube channels to advertise this trash, with cringey meme-like lines which all sound the same.
    Avoid at all costs!

Everything you do in this game, you will run into really bad RNG. Pulling shards to summon champions, you will only have a 0.5% chance of pulling a legendary from their ancient and void shards, and only 8% to pull an epic. Also, keep in mind that there are a lot of trash epic and legendary champs. You can also pull duplicates, as I have done many many times. Sacred shards are very hard to obtain or pricey and the chances are only 6% for legendaries and 94% for epics. Out of over 20 sacred shards I've pulled, I have not gotten 1 legendary. Other than summoning, obtaining and upgrading your artifacts (armor) is also RNG. For decent artifacts, which are 5 star and above, it will be very costly to max out. Many times, I have used over 1 million silver to fully upgrade 1 piece (out of 9) of artifact. It takes a considerable time to accumulate that much silver in the game. I would have to say, probably a day. That's only 1 artifact out of 9 for 1 champ. At a point, you will have several teams doing different things in the game. That's a lot of artifacts you need to upgrade. Also, there are dungeons where you get potions and rewards which are RNG also. I've spent so many hours and resources trying to get one of the superior potions for a mission cause I kept getting other potions or other rewards (crappy rewards). Knowing how bad the RNG is, the developers spam you with pop up adds to buy more shards, nice artifact sets, resources..etc. It's ridiculous how money hungry this company is. Everybody in the Raid community knows this. They're owned by a gambling machine company. Google it and you will see.

    For people who are F2P (free to play) or don't spend much, you will not be able to compete at a high level because there are a sizeable amount of people who spend a good amount of money on the game and have superior champs with superior gear. They beat you, not because they're smarter than you, but because they have spent more money than you. Because, the more you buy, the better your odds become...like buying lottery tickets. If a person buys 5 tickets and another buys 50,000 tickets, guess who has a better chance? Lol there's people that spend thousands a month on this game and people who have already spent over a $100K.

    Other than the horrible RNG, the game is constantly crashing and you lose energy, tokens, keys, battles. So after a few crashes within an hour, you wonder what the point of playing this game is when you're limited to how many times you can play. They don't even reimburse you and customer/tech support is nonexistent. Nobody will reply. You will NEVER get one response from them, EVER. I've sent them dozens of reports and have not receive one single reply ever. So, before you download this game, ask yourself if this is something you want to invest your time in.    … Expand
