- “Game not for me but did look interesting. It looks like decent turn-based gameplay, but I'm not a fan of the matching and fusing for a stronger attack type of gameplay. It's also a little choppy, but they will probably fix that later on. Overall, you should try it out if you are a fan of those types of games.”
- “Get the shards for the legendaries you need and then need to pay £20 to buy it with gems... no thanks. Awful gacha model; shame because gameplay-wise it's pretty decent.”
