    If you played Puzzle & Dragon, Quiz RPG The World of Mystic Wiz or any similar F2P game on mobile, you will instantly be familiar with Destiny of Spirits.

    Like most of F2P, the game revolves around you spending real money in order to actually progress "faster" or keep playing without having to wait.

    The gameplay is pretty dull and doesn't really require much input from the user beside activating skills and assigning targets. These are the only TWO actions you will ever do. So basically you are playing a Spreadsheet battle, you spreadsheet vs the computer spreadsheet. All you will be doing is killing the same monsters over and over, only numbers are going to increase with time.

    The whole geolocation feature is just a gimmick and doesn't add much to the game. This feature would have been better if it was working more like Streetpass instead. Don't waste your time and money on this.

    I really would like to see such business model to be purely and simply banned. Putting users in a skinner box to have them spend cash on a mediocre game is just an awful practice. This game could have had potential if it would have been sold like a retail product, proper £25~£30 pricatag, an actual gameplay, and a game design going further than a spreadsheet battle.

    Do not download, don't waste your time. There are better titles out there on Vita.    … Expand

    Terrible.. It's a good game, but it has a lot of server issues which affects the game play quite a lot. If they fixed this sooner rather then later, as it has seemed to be going on for quite some time now, it would be much better.

It is now Wednesday, nearly afternoon. Servers are down for maintenance. They have a Twitter feed providing updates every 3-6 hours to remind everyone that they don't know what is causing the problem and they don't know when it will be fixed. Either I have terrible luck or this game is really a server maintenance simulator for inept developers. Either way, here's your zero, as it perfectly reflects my experience with your game.

    Here's an update: It's now Thursday. The game is still down.    … Expand

    Although I'm not satisfied with its economics and it still needs polish, I freely admit that Destiny of Spirits remains strangely compelling, and putting together a roster of fantasy creatures holds appeal.

    There's not a great deal to it but even so, Destiny of Spirits still manages to be an addictive social RPG. [Issue#244, p.70]

    As far as role-playing games go, Destiny of Spirits may come across as sticking to the essentials. However, the GPS and social features are a nice touch, if not one we would have preferred to see in a DS Pokémon title, rather than a free-to-play Vita title.
