“I have turned the graphics down and it helps a little but every once in a while the game lags a lot and freezes/crashes.”

“The main story of the game felt cliché.”

The gameplay of Dislyte has received a mix of praise and criticism from users. Many appreciate the engaging turn-based mechanics, unique character designs, and vibrant graphics, which contribute to a fun and strategic experience. However, some players find the gameplay repetitive and grindy, particularly in the late game, and express concerns about the gacha system's low rates for high-tier characters. Overall, while the game offers enjoyable mechanics and aesthetics, it also faces challenges related to pacing and monetization.
“What makes it fun is the battle mechanics and the very unique and powerful designs for the characters.”
“The gameplay is nice and the art is awesome.”
“The gameplay itself has some new twists, but it's still similar to other games of this genre.”
“A small handful of characters can solo full teams, and thanks to the large cast of mechanically complex characters, new players are screwed over, especially because you can't even check opponent abilities or stats beforehand.”
“Gameplay quickly gets boring and everything is too grindy.”
“The gameplay is underwhelming, the heroes are weak, unless you pay to get better gear and supplies, and is an overall disappointment compared to the trailers and adverts.”

Character development in the game is highly praised, with players consistently highlighting the stunning and diverse character designs that blend urban aesthetics with mythological themes. Many reviews commend the unique abilities and backstories of the characters, which enhance player engagement and investment in the game. However, some users express concerns about the repetitiveness of character mechanics and the pacing of character progression, suggesting that while the designs are visually appealing, the depth of character development could be improved.
“The character designs are absolutely gorgeous and the setting is really fun and unique.”
“The character designs are unique and interesting, and the gameplay is pretty fun albeit a little repetitive if you don't switch things up with different espers.”
“The character designs are stunning and very cool.”
“Not bad, but aside from the visuals and character designs, everything else is mediocre or bland. The gameplay is fine, but it gets too difficult and grinding is terrible, not to mention the only way to get any more espers is through gold records, which is already a very rare item. The music is very bland and unoriginal, but the story by far is the worst; I didn't expect much to begin with, but the dialog and character dynamics are very boring and uninteresting.”
“The character designs are well done (mostly) but don't expect too deep a plot; it falls pretty flat.”
“Low effort recycled content every patch; they focus more on PvP to milk the whales while the game is already poorly balanced. The only saving grace this game has is the character designs. Don't get invested in the stories because they're pointless, and they gave up on the main story twice.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it tedious and time-consuming, particularly when leveling up characters and farming resources. While some appreciate the grind as a necessary part of progression in gacha games, others feel it becomes overwhelming, especially with high stamina costs and low drop rates for valuable items. Overall, the game offers various modes to mitigate grind fatigue, but many players still express a desire for improved quality of life features to streamline the experience.
“The grind is good, not tedious.”
“It's not too tedious but at the same time not lackluster.”
“Has great characters and music to go with it and isn't grindy.”
“Certain goals such as pulling viable espers (for different set-ups/bosses), grinding resources for them or getting good equipment seem to take forever despite good effort.”
“The only reason I took a star off is that the process of leveling is currently too tedious for new espers to get up to speed and some of that seems to funnel you towards monetary interactions, since the grind is a bit too real.”
“The game could be grindy at times but you still can progress really far as a free-to-play player given that there are a few 3-star units that can carry your team till late game.”

The monetization model of the game is generally perceived as free-to-play friendly, with many players appreciating the lack of intrusive ads and the ability to progress without mandatory spending. However, there are significant concerns regarding the prevalence of microtransactions, high prices for in-game purchases, and the potential for a pay-to-win environment, particularly in competitive aspects. While some players find the monetization acceptable, others feel it detracts from the overall experience, labeling it as exploitative or a cash grab.
“Currently, the monetization is free-to-play friendly and shows no sign of a paywall.”
“The monetization model doesn't seem as predatory as other games of its kind, and it's clear from the attention put into its art and the way the game keeps begging me to give the creators feedback that they do genuinely care.”
“With this game, it genuinely feels like it's catered towards everyone, and in-game purchases actually feel like they are optional, rather than being a necessity in progression.”
“It's just a pity that its kind can't avoid adding exploitative monetization.”
“The pricing and monetization of the game is quite high, however, compared to other games in the same genre, which makes this game a little bit hard to recommend despite being very visually attractive and having a really compelling aesthetic.”
“Drop rates are pretty horrible, the relic upgrades are hard to accomplish and you have to spend a huge amount of time to progress, the loot boxes have big flashy predatory animations and the game flashes ads for more paid items in your face every couple of days.”

“Overall great game but is far from being fully optimized.”
“I love this game and the community around it, but there are some major optimization issues that have made it frustrating to play.”
“I have attempted multiple times with different settings to reduce the lag that occurs, the overheating, the sudden locking of the game, and trying to conserve my phone battery... it is simply poorly optimized.”
“I reinstalled hoping to see some great changes and a more optimized product, but it was disappointing to see that the performance issues appear to have gotten worse since the last time I played.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with players finding the character reviews and community interactions to be genuinely funny, while others criticize the cheesy and sometimes painful attempts at humor in the ads and game scenarios. Many appreciate the quirky character designs and the amusing dynamics in world chat, though some feel that the humor can be hit-or-miss and overshadowed by issues like poor censoring and gacha mechanics. Overall, while the game has its comedic moments, it also has areas that need improvement to enhance the overall experience.
“The players are thirsty in their character reviews and it's hilarious.”
“Update: after finding out how deep the meta is, and how hilarious its playerbase is; I've fallen even deeper in love with it.”
“Funny, lovable, and interesting characters.”

Dislyte's atmosphere is widely praised for its stunning neo-punk graphics, unique blend of mythology and sci-fi, and an engaging soundtrack that enhances the overall experience. Players appreciate the vibrant character designs and the refreshing tone, which together create a captivating and immersive environment. While the story and combat may have room for improvement, the game's artistic and musical elements significantly contribute to its appeal.
“Dislyte's atmosphere and graphics are amazing, especially with the art style complementing the neo-punk theme.”
“Putting mythology mixed with sci-fi and pop really creates a unique atmosphere in the game.”
“The atmosphere of the game is fantastic, and the combat is enjoyable.”
“The story needs a lot of work and the combat is really repetitive, but I love the graphics and the atmosphere.”
“It's pretty neat, great music and atmosphere but mediocre grinding gameplay.”
“Plenty of little things to keep interest; the story is a meh one, but the attacks, character design, and atmosphere are enough to keep me very interested.”

Overall, players find the emotional aspect of the game lacking due to cheesy dialogue and ineffective storytelling, which diminishes the impact of high-stakes moments. While character design and gameplay modes are praised, many reviewers express disappointment that the emotional scenes fail to resonate, leaving them feeling disconnected from the characters. The gacha mechanics are described as both heartbreaking and a focus point for character development, but the overall narrative struggles to engage players on an emotional level.
“Gacha rates are heartbreaking, but as a positive twist, it helps you focus on building the units you do have.”
“If I could change anything, I'd like to be able to discover ripples myself instead of hoping they appear in chat, because when they appear in chat, it's basically always full and it can be really heartbreaking.”
“Totally cool graphics and motions, but need more emotional figures.”

Overall, the game is praised for its replayability, with many players finding it engaging enough to return to without additional purchases. However, some users express concerns about the need for real money to unlock characters, which may hinder long-term interest and replay value. Enhancements to character unlock mechanics could improve the overall replay experience.
“Really amazing game with a great concept/story and replay value.”
“Has a lot of replayability and can keep you coming back without the use of your wallet.”
“It needs something else in the future to really extend replayability and interest; I am just not sure what yet since I still have a lot to experience.”
“Would give it a higher rating, but you have to buy with real cash to get gems to buy discs to unlock characters. There are idol games that give gems faster and unlock more playable characters, and in mobile legends RPG, I don't have to try to get characters; it's easy. Unfortunately, for your game, I got only one legend character and not much on others below the legend characters until fixed. Better to unlock them.”
