- “The game is really beautiful and has excellent graphics; overall, the performance is good.”

My settings are high, which is great, but it needs some optimization and has some bugs like the subtitles being a little late.”
- “2 rating because the game isn't properly optimized when background or anything else outside of the app.”
- “After playing from season 2 and now starting season 6 of the game, this game has some serious problems. The rates feel manipulated; the longer you play, the less likely you are to win in the gacha pulls, at least from my experience. Secondly, the game needs optimization badly. It crashes multiple times a day, lags, and has on-screen errors and trouble loading quite frequently. I had to delete so much for this latest update, and this is the only game on my phone. There is no reason for this to be this bad.”
